Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Gan Bida was the first to raise his hand in agreement. He had already reached a secret cooperation agreement with Thiers just now, so the choice to form the Interim Government was mutual.

This was indeed a good way to resolve the political divide in a short period of time. First, don't even think about doing everything perfectly. First, set up a general government framework.

After getting the Prussian out of the France, Paris would close its doors and slowly talk about political negotiations.

This plan was truly the best one at the moment. The representatives present whispered to each other for a minute or two before quickly coming to a decision. They all raised their hands.

Other than those stubborn royalist party members who did not raise their hands, more than three-quarters of the council members had adopted this resolution!

Old General Trochu let out a long breath of relief as he knocked the table with his gavel, "I declare that Thiers's bill has been passed... Now, I ask Thiers to announce the establishment of the Republic of China to the public! "

This was an unparalleled glory. Although they did not elect the Prime Minister or the President at this moment, at least they had established this fundamental system of the Republic.

At this moment, anyone who went out to announce a name would be listed in the annals of history!

But she never expected that Thiers would actually shake his head and say, "No, I am willing to give this glory to my comrade … Representative Gan Bida! "

Boom! The representatives present were all confused, no one knew what kind of medicine Thiers was trying to pull off.

"Is he crazy? He actually pushed away such a well-known historical mission? "What is he planning to do …"

Gan Bida was also stunned, "Thiers, what do you mean by this …"

Unexpectedly, Thiers actually had a face full of righteousness today as he said, "Although you and I were once opponents in the elections, that does not mean that I deny you … On the contrary, I admire some of your political views! "

"We only know how to talk in Paris, but you have been through a difficult conscription in the south... How can I not admire this! "

"The country needs mature politicians and practitioners like you. The Republic needs more Southern Legion!"

"Please announce it! "Only when you appear will the citizens of the south of France be encouraged, and they will work even harder to prepare for war!"

The French war had turned the north of France into a pot of soup, but the south of France had been left unscathed.

The economy was still running steadily. A large number of young people were preparing to repay the country … And at that moment, only Gan Bida had the highest reputation in the south!

Letting Gan Bida announce the establishment of the Republic would definitely boost the morale of the south. At that time, there would be even more supplies and recruits would be organized.

Blanqui clenched his fists tightly and frowned, "What exactly does Thiers want to do? "He is definitely not a righteous man like you. He would definitely not be so noble …"

"There must be a conspiracy!"

However, it was useless for Blanqui to not believe it. He was just a spectator, he had no right to express his opinion.

Gan Bida looked like he had drank a lot of alcohol. His face started to turn red, as he walked towards the exit amidst the surrounding applause. Before he walked out, he even turned to look at Thiers, but in the end, he received a look of encouragement.

The gates to the Bourbon's palace opened once again. The people on the stairs and on the streets didn't show any signs of leaving at all. Everyone was waiting for the final result.

It was already very late at night, and the night wind brought with it a hint of the chill of autumn, but the spirits of the people were still extremely high!

Gan Bida stood at the edge of the stairs and looked at the tens of thousands of people waiting quietly outside.

"France's... Citizens! "

"After a long discussion and a vote... The National Assembly finally made a decision … From today onwards … France officially returned … The Chinese system! "

"France Republic … It was rebuilt again! China is born again! "

After a short three to four seconds of silence, the crowd roared like madmen. The entire Paris City was jolted awake by the roar, akin to a tsunami.

"Long live... Long live China! "

"Long live! "Long live …"

The Republic was the dream of the French, and the most important legacy of the Revolution. He was even the Ubuntu of the French.

Any misfortune that appeared in reality could be solved with the existence of China!

The resounding Marseille Melody sounded out from outside the Bourbon's palace. The youths who climbed up the statues and the gas lamps started to wave the flags of the Republic of China, causing everyone to go crazy.

Suddenly, intense gunshots rang out from an unknown place, and at this moment, the gunshots did not bring about any fear, but instead turned into firecrackers to celebrate.

Gan Bida waved his hat and said loudly, "When China is established, the Interim Defence Council will also be established... Now Congress needs to vote for people. Citizens, please stay in order and wait patiently! "

After putting on the hat, Gan Bida returned to the Bourbon's palace. However, he did not expect that right when he arrived at the Assembly's Debate Hall, he heard that there was already a huge argument going on inside.

"No!" Thiers must enter the committee, he is an outstanding statesman, the committee cannot do without him … "

"No, no, no …" My qualifications are not enough, and my ability is also not outstanding. I will only retain my status as a member of the council to assist the committee in its work. I will not hold any specific positions! "

"No, this is desertion, we can't accept... "Absolutely not!"

Gan Bida was already dumbstruck when he heard about it, he then realised that when he was not there, Thiers actually rejected the position of a high official in the Committee.

Not only Gan Bida, Blanqui also felt that today's events were like a dream. Everything that Thiers had done was against common sense!

At this moment, Blanqui already knew that Thiers had hired veterans to protect the Congressman, and he knew that this was Thiers's plan to bribe the people.

The reason why Thiers did all these was to control the council. Of course, these methods were not illegal!

But he obviously already had countless supporters, so why did he still reject the position of an official in the committee?

Just now, General Trochu had already proposed the establishment of a temporary committee of 26 people. Amongst the 26 people, he had also chosen the temporary committee to be in charge of internal affairs, foreign affairs, finance, security, and military affairs … He was the person in charge of the department.

This proposal received the overwhelming majority of votes in favour. More than one fifth of the members agreed, and the rest abstained instead of voting against it.

Originally, they were missing Gan Bida's vote, but the result was an overwhelming majority. Even if Gan Bida voted against it, it wouldn't change anything.

That was why General Trochu's proposal also followed the procedures of the law, but right at this moment, Thiers stood out. He clearly stated that he would not serve on the committee, and would instead continue to be his representative!

Now, everyone was even more confused. Thiers had officially become the biggest mystery of the night!
