Chapter 247: I'm sorry, I'm undercover

The first update

The meeting lasted from the afternoon to more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and the issues surrounding the establishment of the route were not fully resolved. The main point of controversy is also divided into two factions - on the one hand, the faction that has firmly established the armed struggle with Marx's theory as the core, and the other faction has fantasized about peaceful coexistence with the bourgeoisie and co-governance. Those who support the latter kind of thinking, in a few years, will only be left with a bullet hole in front of the wall of the Paris Commune.

The content of the controversy in St. Martin's Church has nothing to do with Garion, at least he knows his position, a writer who stands on the shoulders of giants, but has no practical ability, and does not even know how to die if he is involved.

Engels took Galian back to his hotel, an unremarkable old building. Hidden in the deep alleys of the long bluestone street, after explaining the purpose of staying at the hotel, the owner of the front desk handed a string of rusty keys to Garion, then pointed to the upstairs room, and said impatiently, "Go upstairs to the house at the end of the second row." ”

Engels reluctantly explained, "Because we can't attract attention for the time being, we have to grieve His Excellency Garion and live here." ”

"No problem, I'm happy to take it. At least I started living in a stable, in the Loire, and got used to the smell of straw and horse manure. ”

Engels's closeness was very appealing to Engels, unlike some revolutionaries from Paris, who almost asked to live at 10 Downing Street.

The burning kerosene wick in the lantern illuminates a small cluster of dim areas in front of it, and the walls are peeling off on both sides, revealing the mottled wooden buildings inside. The yellow-brown floor squeaked when stepped on, like the marks of decay over time.

A house in disrepair, two men with their own hearts.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a damp musty smell, and the cold weather and continuous rain in London made the whole room permeate the damp and cold environment.

Engels still had a lot to attend to, and he didn't stop long, and after sending Garian to the door to say a few pleasantries, he turned and left.

Garion lit the old kerosene lamp, sat down in front of it, and took a deep breath. The risk seemed to be worth it, and from the outset he had no intention of hiding from Napoleon III what was going on. No matter how much Marx tries to help himself incognito, there will still be people who will eventually recognize his identity.

So he wants a showdown that goes straight to the point. Tell Louis Bonaparte bluntly that he was going to take advantage of the turmoil and go to London to attend a meeting of the communists.

Louis Bonaparte was shocked when he heard the news, his eyes widened almost as he stared at Garion with an incredulous expression. However, the other party maintained a calm attitude from beginning to end.

He never thought that a writer who defended the interests of the French Empire everywhere would dare to say such a thing in front of the emperor, and if it weren't for the previous credit, he would have been dragged down and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for processing.

Thinking that Garion would always surprise himself, he still left the other party, hoping to give a satisfactory answer. At least explain why you're doing it.

"Does Your Majesty know who is the greatest enemy in the revolutionary party, who is the real threat, who is the force that can deal a fatal blow to the Bonaparte family?"

Napoleon III was speechless by three questions in a row, and until then he had always treated the revolutionary party as equals, sparing no effort to suppress them, never considering the question of who was the real threat.

"Does it matter? Anyway, it's a bunch of moths that harm France, as long as they all are executed. ”

Napoleon III scoffed at the revolutionaries, coming from the army and believing that as long as he had military power, no matter how much the people rebelled, they would not be able to resist muskets and bullets. So the Bonaparte government never really looked at these opposition factions that had recurred in French history, like ants, and never cared about life or death.

"It seems that Your Majesty has never known about revolutionaries."

Garion smiled and shook his head, but Napoleon III mistook this action for mocking himself.

"Are you laughing at me?"

He frowned dissatisfiedly and stared at the young man in front of him coldly, "Your Excellency Garion, before you step on the dead ant, you will ask him what his name is and which party he belongs to?" ”

"No, I'm not laughing at Your Majesty, I'm worried that Your Majesty has forgotten something important so soon."

"Remember how Your Majesty became President of the Second French Republic?" ”

Napoleon III was stunned for a moment, and the arrogance on his face gradually faded and was replaced by it

After the outbreak of the European Revolution in 1848, the restored July Dynasty was driven out. Napoleon III returned to France and, relying on his uncle's popularity and a group of parliamentarians who supported the Bonaparte family, was elected to the Constituent Assembly in September. On 10 December, he was elected President of the Republic, relying mainly on peasant votes in favor of the Napoleonic family. A coup d'Γ©tat was staged on December 2, 1851, which dissolved parliament and legalized the coup by referendum. On December 2, 1852, the Senate proclaimed the restoration of the Empire, and Louis Napoleon Bonaparte became Emperor of the French Empire, called Napoleon III.

"Your Majesty, if there had not been the revolution of the citizens of Paris, you would not be where you are today. Thinking about it this way, shouldn't we have a certain sense of crisis? ”

"If King Philip's July Dynasty can be overthrown, the revolutionaries can also plot to overthrow the Empire once again." His Majesty disdains to deal with them, but there is always someone who needs to deal with them and understand what kind of person the other person is. Recognize which is the greatest threat to the Empire. Then prescribe the right medicine......"

Napoleon III slowly restrained his arrogant look, and he never thought deeply about these issues. Now that I think about it, he really needs an undercover agent to get to know the revolutionary parties of all factions in Europe. And Garion, who is close to the royal family in private and looks like a democratic revolutionary on the surface, seems to be the most suitable candidate.

So in the eyes of the Bonaparte royal family, he went undercover and participated in the first workers' international conference. No one would have thought that the real identity of this generous Davarich was actually a double agent.

Laying out the manuscript paper on his desk, Garion began to do something for his friend Karl Marx to relieve the pressure of infighting...

He began to write...

"Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting, there is a matter of great urgency that needs to be reported to you..."

"The Proudhonists, in the name of peace, finally showed their hideous faces at the meeting..."
