C3064 Sale of the palace

"Raise the red flag and announce to all of Paris that we have the palace in our hands …" Many members of the commune dragged the red flag and rushed into the palace.

But at this moment, Raoul was right. Liguo's warlord appeared, blocking the palace's main entrance and forbidding all soldiers to rush in.

"Everyone, stand at attention! Collection... Take the team away! "

"Why? "The palace has just been conquered, so we haven't gone in yet to take a look …"

The palace had always been a restricted area for commoners and they never had a chance to see it in their entire lives. Even though the empire had collapsed and the empress had fled, the commoners had attacked the palace and eaten up all the dinners the empress had left behind.

However, within a few hours, these people had been expelled by the government's army, meaning that only a few people were lucky enough to see the palace.

The palace had been conquered by the working class. Amongst the more than ten thousand soldiers of the National Guard, who would not want to enter and broaden their horizons?

But Raoul. Li Gao ordered all the National Guard to retreat, and only the supervising team of the commune remained to guard the place.

After giving the order, there was no room for negotiation. The regretful National Guard soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the corpses of their comrades, as well as the spoils of war outside the palace.

More troops began to gather and evacuate to other districts!

It was already 10: 30 in the evening. On the way back, a carriage from the north suddenly came out from the darkness. If it wasn't for the kerosene lamp on the left and right of the carriage, they might have bumped into the carriages.

"Who is it?" the officer in charge shouted.

"Back off!" Shut your mouth! " The one riding over was one of the people of Community Leader, De Lekelvzi.

He saw the black faced Community Leader personally protecting the carriage, the officers who had questioned the convoy immediately retreated to the side.

No one knew what this mysterious group of carriages were. The only thing left to do was to look at their huge carriages, which were more than half as large as the carriages they usually carried in the factory.

However, during the bumpy ride, people could see through the curtain of the carriage window that there was a faint light emitting from bayonets and sabers. It seemed like there was an army inside.

left pumilus had vomited three times already. It was not that he had never been on a horse carriage before, but it was so dark and it was his first time riding on such a sealed horse carriage.

The one beside left pumilus was the Commando Captain Wang Chen. He blinked his small eyes and suddenly spoke out, "Head storekeeper, I have a secret method to cure the car sickness, do you want to try it?"

"What …" "What secret recipe …"

"Simple. I'll take advantage of your inattentiveness and fiercely stab you with a needle at a place where there's a lot of meat on your butt …" Rest assured, you won't be unconscious then! "

"Piss off!" Why don't you stab yourself? "

"It's not like I'm seasick, what right do I have to stab myself …" "Don't worry, it'll definitely work. Come, brothers, grab his hands and feet and let me stab him with a needle …"

"What do you want? Roll... Get the hell out of here... "Let me go …"

The interior of the carriage instantly became lively. However, no one dared to burst out in whispers.

However, it was a strange thing to say as they joked around for a bit and changed the topic. left pumilus's brain actually stopped spinning, and at this time, the carriage suddenly stopped and a flame appeared outside the carriage.

"All have... Get out of the car! " General Luo Huo's voice came out.

Everyone opened the carriage and rushed out. When they arrived at Tuileries' garden on the left, a thick smell of blood rushed towards them.

The soles of his feet were all sticky, needless to say, stepped on his blood. The head storekeeper was extremely disgusted, but fiercely patted his back to stop him from thinking about these things … Think of what you like! "

"This is the France's Imperial Palace! "Remember, everyone must be cautious. We only have six hours …"

"Stop talking, get to work …" "In six hours, we will load as many carriages as we can. We must definitely fill up these twenty-five carriages!"

"After six hours, if we take one more, they will shoot us!"

"Everyone, check your pocket watches. It's 11: 00 AM now. Everyone must return to their carriages and leave …" Do you understand? "

"Yes sir!"

Two companies of SPECIAL SERVICES s, with a group of experts hired by the Head of State from Berlin on a high salary, including a few Grand Scholars from Beijing, charged towards Tuileries' Palace.

This was the agreement between Xiao Letian and Xiao Letian, and was also the final transaction. Xiao Letian used six steamer's worth of materials to exchange for the treasures in France's palace.

However, not all of them, Blanqui was not that foolish. After bargaining between the two parties, they finally agreed on six hours.

During this time, you can take as much as you want. This will not only test your physical strength and ability to organize, but also test your good eyesight.

What treasure was the most valuable? What was a little bit less? No one would give you the answer. It all depended on your own eyes and luck!

In fact, Xiao Letian was not sure if he could make Blanqui accept his conditions, because he knew clearly that this kind of person was essentially a nationalist, followed by warriors of the same ranks.

Convince a nationalist to let him agree to sell his country's artistic treasures? This was an almost impossible task.

However, Xiao Letian had done it, because the world had changed. Blanqui could not help but lower his head.

Blanqui was very clear on the current situation in Paris, a civil war was inevitable. If there was no previous failure to break out of the siege, then both sides could perhaps work together for a much longer period of time in order to reach a common enemy.

Whether it was the left or right wing, they both understood that the country's momentum had already gone, and the Prussian had completely taken control of the situation.

Tens of thousands of lives had been lost in the battle, and Paris no longer had the strength to break through!

When the left and right were both controlled by despair, when they lost a common hope, then the conflicts that had been suppressed before would no longer be controllable.

In addition to the unusually heavy snowfall this year, the resources in the city had become the focus of competition for resources. If they wanted to survive, they would have to fight for more resources.

What if they couldn't get it? Then there was only one way, and that was to make a secret deal with the forces outside the city!

Blanqui had no choice, no matter how good the cultural relics were, they could not be treated as food, and the materials from the six steam boats could make the commune persist until spring next year.

The choice of life or death wasn't actually that difficult!
