The second more, ask for recommendation votes!

The atmosphere became sword drawn, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two eloquent players.

"Shut up, do you think that our dignified France is the Qing Empire that can be slaughtered by others?"

The first to attack was Gautier, who had always taken a conservative stance, a pioneer of aestheticism who declared that literature could ignore social morality and that art was purely for art's sake. Although in Garion's view, Gautier's claims are more like a heresy.

"Wake up, Daqing...... Oh no, the Qing Dynasty is not dead. ”

Ignoring Garion's self-talk, Gautier asked confidently, "I'll just ask you, isn't the victory in the Crimean War enough to wash away the shame of our defeat under Russia many years ago, isn't it enough to make people feel proud and proud?" What is Germany, what is the Germanic hillbilly, we are the largest country on the European continent, the center of art and civilization in the world! ”

The controversy between the two attracted the attention of others, and even Sainte-Beuve, who was sitting in the corner and did not want to look up, also focused his eyes on the two of them, pulling the corners of his mouth to watch the play.

One is Gautier, who has become famous early and has a good personal relationship with Hugo, and the other is beginning to emerge in Paris, challenging the status of traditional literati. On the surface, it's a battle between the two, but on a deeper level, it's a clash of two different cultures.

Garion sneered and said, "With a rather decent war fought in retreat as a proud capital, is this all there is to the literati of Paris?" ”

When it comes to the history of Europe in the 19th century, he is certainly not afraid of these guys who talk on paper. Napoleon III's own shame has been nailed to the history books by historians, and it has been reminded of the world over and over again.

Gautier made a deaf attitude and said disdainfully, "I would like to hear what you have to say?" ”

Speaking of the black history of Britain and France, Garian was unequivocal.

"IMHO, in a way it's a worse contest. While we make fun of Russia's backwardness, let us not forget that there are many things such as our army using explosive bombs as signal flares, and attacking at an inconsistent pace and being repulsed; Of course, just as bad as the Russian army was the British army, they only had 120 quartermasters, a lot of fresh meat and dairy products were locked in warehouses, and the meat was piled up and rotten and smelly and could not be transported to the front, and the soldiers besieging Sevastopol could only eat biscuits, and there were no tents to live in before the Battle of the Olma, and some even joked that as long as the British quartermaster was killed, the British lost. And at that time cholera began to spread from the British army and spread to the French army. so that the second commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, our Marshal Saint-Arnold, fell ill and died; And the ridiculous scandal of Miss Nightingale's medical team stealing warehouses in order to obtain medicine for the treatment of wounded soldiers abounded at the time. ”

Gautier's face grew uncontrollable, and he listened to Garion continue with a gloomy face.

By this time, Garion had taken complete control of the home field, and he pointed to Gautier and mocked, "The war ended as it should have ended, which is in full line with Napoleon I's famous words about the activities of the indecisive and incompetent generals throughout their lives: "The order is changed and the chaos is lost." It is a historical irony that the Second Empire, no matter how much it tried to imitate its own prototype, had to go around doing the opposite of what Napoleon I did. Napoleon I struck at the heart of the nations with whom he fought; Today's France is attacking a remote corner of Russia. Hope rests not on large-scale military operations, but on successful surprises, surprise attacks, and adventures. The whole difference between the First and Second Reichs and their representatives lies in this strategy. Napoleon was accustomed to entering the capitals of modern Europe as a victor. His successors, under various pretexts—to protect the Pope, to protect the Sultan, to protect the Greek king—stationed the French garrison in the capitals of ancient Europe: Rome, Constantinople, and Athens; The result did not strengthen the power in the slightest, but only dispersed the power. Ladies and gentlemen, do you still think that the rise of Germany will not threaten the hegemony of Paris? ”

"I am writing articles, not to make a noise, but to wake up the world and draw attention to the crisis in France. And those who whitewash the peace are the executioners who really destroy the foundations of this country! They simply did not realize that Paris was facing an unprecedented crisis! ”

Garion's tirade silenced the talkers, and in the face of well-founded accusations, Gautier could only repeat what he had said before.

"But no matter what you say, we won the war in the end, that's an indisputable fact. And your words will only be taken as alarmist by others. ”

Still stubborn, Garion really feels that Bonaparte's reign is going to be as rotten as it was in history.

He closed his mouth and stopped arguing. Arguing with idiots is a terrible thing to do, they will pull your IQ to the same level, beating you with their years of experience with mental retardation.

Just as he was considering whether to exit the room, Princess Mathilde's voice came from behind Garion.

"Garion is right, even if the Empire wins this war by chance, can you guarantee that these fatal flaws will not lead to a crushing defeat in the next war?"

The others turned their heads to see Princess Mathilde standing in the doorway, keeping an eye on the movement in the living room from the beginning to the present, including the argument between Garian and Gautier.

She saw that this young man was indeed different from the literati of the mansion who could only write beautiful articles, not only could he write beautiful articles, but he could even analyze the situation in Europe with a thorough understanding, and his far-reaching vision made Princess Mathilde feel that his willingness to be a literati was overkill, a waste of talent and talent.

Even Princess Mathilde was on Garion's side, and Gautier had no choice but to shut his mouth, look at his opponent, and stop talking.

Princess Mathilde's attitude and Garion's strength also reminded the other literati in the mansion not to try to rely on the old and sell the old, this young man is not a character to be messed with.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Mathilde."

Garion kissed the back of the princess's hand lightly on his lips and said respectfully, "Your mansion salon party is indeed very interesting. ”

"Hopefully they won't get you in trouble."

Princess Mathilde smiled and said softly, "Literati always have a problem with each other. ”

"No, no, it didn't bother me."

Garion looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess with a smile and said slowly, "On the contrary, I came to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Mansion today to bring a business opportunity to Her Highness. ”

Tired of hearing the praises and the hymns, Princess Mathilde became interested in Garion's unique greeting gift.

"Oh? What business opportunities? ”
