Chapter 239: Drafting a Declaration

Supplement yesterday's second update

Garion believes that many things have already been decided, not fateful ones that will be changed. For example, the empire in the hands of Napoleon III that was getting out of control day by day, such as the mud that could not be supported by the Habsburgs, even if he could predictively change the foreign policy of France and reverse the major diplomatic mistakes of the Tuileries Palace, at best, it would be a blockage to Bismarck's iron-blooded rise route, and it would be impossible to truly achieve the rise of Prussia.

Whether the Franco-Prussian War was postponed, or whether it was a decent defeat in another way, Garion did not know. It would be a real miracle if decaying Austria could prevent Bismarck's rise.

Garion is just an ordinary person, and all he can do is do what he can. Changing the French Empire is as difficult as traveling to a hellish level, such as the 1991 time trip to Yanayève or the resurrection of Napoleon I in 1870.

The two stared at each other and looked at each other speechlessly.

Garion pointed to the double-barreled shotgun that Turgenev had placed on the table and asked in a low voice, "Can Your Excellency Turgenev put the gun away first?" The barrel of your gun is still pointed at me. ”

"Oh, wait, I was so nervous and forgot about it."

Turgenev patted his head and remembered that the gun was still on the table, and hurriedly hung it back on the wall.

"Lord Garrian going to London?"

Turgenev didn't know why Garion wanted to run to London now, and asked suspiciously, "Is it to go out and take refuge?" IMHO, if you poke a basket in France and run to Great Britain, will you make others feel like you are a spy from England? ”

"I'm a native of the Loire province."

Garion corrected in a serious tone, "The French who are fake. ”

"Oh yes?"

Apparently Turgenev's geographical history is better than that of Garion, and he says meaningfully, "The Mann-et-Loire is the site of the former Anjou, and has historically had close ties with the British. It's not surprising to have a few England undercover agents. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I am not here to debate geography with Mr. Turgenev. ”

"I wanted to talk to Mr. Turgenev about the uprising that broke out in Poland last year," said Garrian bluntly. ”

"Oh, you're talking about that uprising."

Although Turgenev was Russian, he had always sympathized with the peasants who had been oppressed by the tsar and the old aristocracy, and actively wrote articles protesting against the authorities' suppression of the rebellion of the working people.

"These Poles are definitely men who stand up to the sky, and although the uprising failed, it was not without effect, because this year's tsarist government issued an edict to emancipate the serfs in the Kingdom of Poland, although it paid a terrible price, but St. Petersburg gave in. concessions, a mockery of the authority of the tsars for centuries. ”

Garion nodded, something he was hiding from Turgenev.

What is not explicitly stated is that last week he had received a letter from London in which Mr. Marx referred to the uprising that had taken place in Poland the previous year. Ready to unite other revolutionaries, they wanted to hold a conference in London and establish a broad international organization.

"Dear Lord Garrian, last year the London Council of the Workers' Union held a mass meeting to protest against the suppression of the Polish uprising by Tsarist Russia and to actively stand in solidarity with the Polish people in their just struggle. A delegation of French workers also took part in the congress and exchanged views with the leaders of the British Trade Union on the issue of joint action. Later, the British Workers' Congress adopted an appeal entitled "British Workers to French Workers", calling on the workers of the two countries to strengthen unity and fight together.

Our ranks are growing and we are now preparing for a mass meeting of the British Trade Union Confederation at St Martin's Church in London. The congress was attended by workers' representatives from France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Ireland and, of course, bourgeois democrats were cordially invited. Although His Excellency Garion is in a position with subtle differences, we all share the same goal of building a harmonious and equal society. Your dear friend, Karl Marx. ”

Garion could even imagine Mr. Marx huddled in a small area late at night, with his coat draped late at night, his desk lined with manuscript papers and books, and writing letters for himself in the dim area of a kerosene lamp.

Seeing the end of that letter made Garion's mood calm for a long time.

He invited Garrian to London to work as a secret revolutionary sympathizer on the drafting of a manifesto organized by the conference.

The secret revolutionary sympathizer, this identity is very delicate. Neither will his position be exposed, nor will it give suspicion to the Parisian authorities.

More importantly, the conference that took place in 1864 would affect France six years later.

Later it had an even better name, the First International.

Although in the eyes of the other party, they participated as sympathizers, but it was a great honor to be able to draft this document together.

Seeing this, Garion decided to make a move in Paris to divert his attention, and then naturally followed Turgenev to London.

"Why did Lord Garion suddenly bring this up?"

Turgenev only now remembered the point.

"Nothing."

Gallian changed the subject, "I just thought that His Excellency Turgenev was Russian, so I didn't mean anything special to ask casually." ”

However, Turgenev misunderstood Garion's attitude.

"But I'm not a supporter of the Tsar."

Turgenev roared and said that the sturdy Slavs were like Siberian bears, and even the garb of a gentleman could not change their rugged character.

Turgenev said firmly, "If the rule of the tsars can be overthrown, I will be the first to endorse it." If the Tsar's head is cut off, I want to be the executioner. It is hoped that in the future the entire Tsar's family will be sent to the gallows. ”

After all these years of deportation, Turgenev did not want to return to St. Petersburg, to the bosom of his homeland, and not to be displaced in Paris, as he is now.

When he heard that the Tsar's whole family was on the gallows, Garion was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, is this a curse?

"Alright, Your Excellency Turgenev, when shall we leave for London?"

Garian is ready to take advantage of this trip to escape Paris for a while.

As for how Napoleon III reacted in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

"Now, of course."

Turgenev immediately turned around, dragged out a suitcase and opened it, which contained vodka except for some clothes.

Seeing Garion staring at his vodka, Turgenev explained with a smile, "It's the English that only women drink." ”
