Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C3039 Negotiating Emissary Thiers

Blanqui was very clear that Paris garrison did not shoot, but sent Representative Thiers to negotiate. This meant that Trochu did not completely fall out with him.

Thiers was a very sinister person, and these kinds of people were all good at camouflage. At the critical moment of an empire's collapse, Thiers had used a 'retreat in order to advance' devious scheme, instantly pushing his prestige from a third-rate politician to the position of a first-rate politician.

Everyone was praising Thiers's high and mighty character. Although this kind of noble character did not even need to be carried by the left wing, Thiers had indeed pushed away his position in the 26 people's committee, such people made it difficult for Blanqui and the rest to act ruthlessly.

Thiers being the lobbyist was extremely appropriate!

The sandbag at the entrance of the street had a gap opened up, and only Thiers's horse carriage was allowed to enter, following that, it was quickly blocked, and the muzzle of the rifle was pointed towards the outside.

Thiers looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar armed street in Montmartre plateau, and let out a long sigh: "This is a big threat! "If these people don't get rid of them, there will be endless riots in the future …"

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the old tavern. Thiers jumped off the carriage, protected by the loyal mercenaries beside him.

"Dear Mr. Blanqui, your actions last night were really too reckless. Doing this would be extremely bad for our country …" Thiers did not stand on ceremony as he went straight to the point.

"Ba Zan's surrender is indeed a disaster, but what does this have to do with the Interim Defence Government? To launch an attack on the government is only to make those close to you feel faster! "

"You are not an ignorant citizen. You are well aware of the current state of chaos in the country... Don't you know that old General Trochu has no way of ordering him? "

"Don't you understand? Ba Zan and the rest will always be royalist party! This is the royalist party's counterattack, and you actually threw the blame onto the Right Faction? Is that fair? "

"They are actually shouting slogans to abolish the national defense government? Do you think you are the Council of France? "Even if you have the advantage of numbers, you only represent the workers of Paris. You cannot represent the entire French people!"

Blanqui blushed a little, "I am very sorry about what happened last night, but I have to state one thing. I did not give the order for this whole thing to happen, it was something the people organized on their own due to anger …"

"Last night, I also gave the order to maintain order … After all, General Trochu did not appear on the scene yesterday, and the 26 people council members have all disappeared! "

Once the two entered the arena, they began to fight with their swords raised, the workers on the left side stared angrily at Thiers, one of them angrily shouted!

"The composition of the Provisional Defence Council was unfair to begin with. Is there only one seat for us on the left side of the country?"

"Is it because you have the government that these cowards and traitors are in disarray? Ba Zan is a traitor, what do you have to be proud of! "

"Up until now, has Trochu launched an attack that exceeded ten thousand people? Why didn't they start a war? What's the use of having such an impotent Interim Government? "

"Yes, that's right! A useless government will have to fall. You are all cowards and traitor! "

Thiers's mouth was crooked from anger. "Shut up!" He shouted, "Stop yelling at me! Do you want to throw dirty water on my head? "

"I have exhausted my heart for the sake of the Republic. I have given up my authority for the sake of the general situation, for the sake of the stability of the country! It's not for you to scold them! "

"The reason why you have so few seats in the council is because of yourselves! Don't even think about putting the blame on us... If you have the ability, go to Cassel and find French Emperor! "

"Go and ask him why he oppressed you all those years ago. Why don't you give your council a seat? Don't anger the other councilors too much! Do you want to negotiate or not? If you don't want to talk about me, then leave.

"Worse comes to worse!"

No matter how dark and gloomy he was inside, at the very least, during the time when the power of nations intersected with each other,'s arrogant and righteous attitude was revealed.

Although he did not side with the left wing, Thiers did not benefit him either. In this time of national difficulties, this kind of statesman was already considered a role model!

Blanqui stretched out his hand to suppress the workers around him as he sighed and said, "Old General, tell me your attitude!"

Thiers's expression eased up a bit. "Set aside the conflict, we will all go abroad! "The defense government can stop pursuing what happened last night, but you have to make sure that there won't be a next time …"

"At the same time, National Guard must be prepared for battle … The old general has decided to break through! "

Everyone had been waiting for this day to come. These National Guard had been holding it in for a long time, and seeing the enemies outside the city acting so arrogantly, they had long wanted to attack.

But without the cooperation of the regular army, just relying on a large number of people was not enough for the National Guard.

Thiers let out a long sigh, "Originally, the old general's strategy had been to stand by and wait for's Southern Legion to increase in scale before cooperating with him internally and externally …"

"But the surrender of the Mace City has completely disrupted our plans … Now that I don't think about it, I can't help but to fight. Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee my morale! "

"Prepare for battle, I expect that we will request for three divisions in the early stages to coordinate our forces …" The ammunition will be distributed immediately. I hope that you all take the overall situation seriously. For the sake of your country, put aside the dispute and fight well together! "

With Thiers gone, the chaos of seizing power ended. General Trochu regained his control over Paris, but he knew that it was impossible to continue enduring it.

In a battle like that between French dumbbells, without the northern Mace, the remaining Paris would be under more than seventy percent of the pressure.

If he didn't break out, he would die!

Trochu had already made his preparations to bring all of his defense and government to break out of Orleans's encirclement. He was going to bring all of their elites and leave Paris, throwing the city to National Guard and let them fight in the streets!

The mobilization of war began in Paris. The ammunition and supplies that were stored began to be distributed downwards, and every combat unit received an order.

At the same time, the Prussian army outside the city had also detected the movement inside the city. After all, Qi Bolin's airship was still monitoring them.

Bismark would definitely not allow his enemies to prepare for battle. When General Trochu was not ready yet, the Prussian army cannons outside the city opened fire.

"Fire!" The commander at the artillery position gave the order and the booming sound of the cannons shook the heavens and earth!

The bombing was a psychological attack on the French, and all the artillery had no firing parameters at all. All they did was turn up the angle of fire, fire at the walls, and finally blow the whole city over.

This was an unrestricted killing of civilians, Prussian army did not care about who was the one to die by the cannonball!

Boom! Boom! Boom! In the midst of the huge explosion, the citizens of Paris were extremely unlucky. The houses and workshops had been destroyed by the artillery shells, and the shrieking shells had even pierced through the roof and tiles had exploded in the bedroom.

Paris is full of burning houses, the fire brigade's water dragon car running back and forth but a cup of water car is no use at all!

"My God! Paris is finished, all burned... It's all a big fire! "
