In 1886, the European continent was relatively quiet.

Although at the beginning of the year, the atmosphere in France and Germany suddenly became tense and almost came to the brink of war, but under the restraint of the people of both countries, it finally calmed down. The European continent powers are still buried in the wave of the second industrial revolution, and all kinds of new technologies and inventions are emerging one after another, and no one knows that in twenty or thirty years, their contradictions will accumulate to the point that they can no longer be suppressed, and completely erupt like a volcanic eruption......

But at least in 1886, people didn't think about it.

So in the second half of 1886, the whole of Grand Paris was still in an atmosphere of drunkenness. As one of the most powerful countries in the world, the French are still enjoying their best times, and the tensions between the first half of the year and Germany seem to have long since dissipated.

Paris is now one of the best cities in Europe.

In the two decades around 1850, France ushered in an era of super-rapid economic development, and it was during this era that Paris encountered unprecedented problems - the number of railways continued to increase, bringing more and more immigrants to Paris. The increase in population has led to traffic congestion, a dirty environment and a deterioration of the security environment. You know, the roads in Paris at that time were basically built in the Middle Ages, and they simply could not carry more and more carriages and pedestrians.

So in 1853, Napoleon III appointed Baron Haussmann as the governor of the Seine, and launched a vigorous renovation!

Roads, Houses, Parks......

In the course of 17 years, Grand Paris has been given a new lease of life, and the design was designed to be so forward-looking that it remains in good shape even more than 100 years later. The transformation of Paris has also become a benchmark for urban transformation in the entire European and American world, European countries. Even the United States has benefited greatly from this. The foundation of this qiē is Baron Osman's overall planning of the city, especially the planning of roads. So in Paris in 1886, people and horse-drawn carriages walked freely on the wide roads, enjoying the fruits of the Paris renovation, a lively and prosperous scene.

Speaking of the roads of Paris, it is natural not to mention the Champs-Élysées.

It was Haussmann's plan for a major makeover in Paris. Let the Champs-Élysées truly become the first avenue in France, in addition to commerce, and later also become a stage for France to show itself to the world......

Sunday, October 3, 1886.

On the Champs-Élysées, countless horse-drawn carriages, both luxurious and ordinary, run on the road. The French Revolution destroyed the privilege of the aristocracy to drive on the left, allowing the French to be the first to start the era of right-hand traffic, so that the avenues, whether carriages or pedestrians, went their own way, and it was a busy but orderly scene. And the shade of the trees on the side of the road. It also provides a place for many young men and women to meet and relax.

One qiē and one qiē, all the same as in the past.

It was Sunday, and Henri Fandel excitedly invited his fiancée Chloe to the Champs-Élysées to pass the time.

But the two had only been chatting for a few minutes when Mr. Fandel turned his head in astonishment and looked to his left.

"What's wrong, Henry?"

Chloe, the girl next to her, looked at her boyfriend. Asked a little puzzled. The two were chatting in the shade of a tree by the side of the road, and the girl wondered why Henry, who was considerate of herself, suddenly looked into the distance.

"Didn't you hear anything?"

Mr. Fandel's eyes scanned the carriages that came and went on the road. Asked with a frown.

"Voice?"

Chloe frowned and listened carefully. Soon, he understood what his fiancé meant, because if he listened closely, he could indeed hear a very strange sound, a bit like a train, but not so heavy. It's a bit like thunder, but it's not that high-pitched!

"What kind of machine is it?"

After a moment's hesitation, Chloe guessed carefully.

"How is that possible?!"

Mr. Fandel suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and said, "This is the Champs-Elysées, how can there be a roar?" Ha ha. ”

was teased by her fiancé like this. Chloe was immediately a little unhappy.

But just when the angry Chloe was brewing and angry with her fiancé, Mr. Fandel casually glanced into the distance, and the person seemed to have been struck by a lightning strike, and his whole body froze suddenly!

"What's wrong?"

Realizing that something was wrong with her fiancé, Chloe immediately asked.

Ignoring his fiancée, Mr. Fandel was stunned for a few more seconds, then suddenly stood up, and then screamed in a voice that Chloe had never heard before, as if someone had choked him, "Well, is that?" ”

……

"Boom! Rumble! ”

With two muffled sounds like the roars of wild beasts, three strangely shaped machines stopped on one side of the Champs-Élysées. This was not because they had already reached their destination, but because more than a dozen meters in front of them, two Parisian policemen, one tall and one short, blocked their way.

In the watchful eyes of the two policemen, a very tall young man walked out of the lead and asked in a loud voice in a rather strange French: "Gentlemen, is there something wrong?" ”

After glancing at each other, the tall policeman swallowed hard.

With his height of nearly 1.8 meters, this policeman is usually extremely confident in his height, but looking at the young man in front of him who is at least ten centimeters taller than him, the tall policeman inexplicably has a sense of oppression, but he still took two steps forward and asked loudly: "Sir, may I ask ...... of you guys?"

"It's a car!"

The young man patted the stopped machine next to him and responded with a smile: "You can think of it as a little train that can travel on the road!" ”

This tall young man was, of course, Mr. John Huntelaar.

Immediately after the train ride to Karlsruhe, John saw three finished cars, and after a few days of simple training, he and Anna were on the road with two mechanics. It took them fifteen days to get straight from Karlsruhe to Paris!

Breakdowns and exhaustion were naturally one of the main reasons for such a long journey, and they were constantly stopped by ordinary people or police officers along the way, and it also hindered a lot of time to ask what the car was, so it was not until today that John and his team arrived at their first destination - Paris.

"Cars?"

At this moment, not only the two policemen, but everyone within a radius of 100 meters were stunned.

As the three cars drove into the Champs-Élysées, the original orderly environment of the road was immediately destroyed, especially after the two policemen stopped them, not only the pedestrians on the side of the road quickly surrounded them, but even the carriage that was originally driving also stopped, and the passengers jumped out of the car and stepped forward, and it seems that this phenomenon has a tendency to spread rapidly!

On October 3, 1886, because of three automobiles that appeared no earlier than in history, but were much more advanced in technology and appearance, the originally smooth Champs-Élysées was like a ligated intestine, and one end was suddenly blocked......
