Chapter 1347 - The Franco-Patriotic Workers' State

In this way, the whole world was basically stabilized, and France and Ireland united to form the Franco-Irish United People's Commune Republic, and gradually consolidated the regime.

The Franco-Irré-Africian Republic began to focus on strengthening its internal affairs, and the Paris Commune, headed by Blanqui, seized the de facto power of the Franco-Irré-Africian People's Republic, and the honorary leader Ugus was also sidelined and completely hollowed out.

Although Blanqui was over 60 years old, his ideas were very extreme, and he was influenced by Rousseau's utopian socialism, and directly announced the arrest and trial of all the princes, nobles and capitalists in the Republic of the Franco-Irish United People's Commune, and after several months of bloody searches and arrests, nearly 1.6 million nobles, estate and factory owners, capitalists and their families were arrested in France. Their houses, factories, estates, and all other wealth were confiscated and handed over to the people's commune.

More than a third of the aristocrats and capitalists were sentenced to death, and the rest were sentenced to prison sentences, and after demonstrations, they were sent to work in factories or underground mines for free labor. Only a small number of nobles and capitalists escaped after receiving the news and fled to other European countries.

For a time, the whole of Europe was in an uproar. Countries and major newspapers have condemned Blanqui, the leader of the Franco-Irish People's Commune, especially the Paris Commune, as an executioner and a devil, and called on the countries of Europe to unite again to destroy the evil regime of France-Ireland.

But Blanqui at this time completely ignored it. He ordered the screening of all citizens of the original territory of France, and the confiscation of all the estates, factories and all other property of the nobles and capitalists, all of which were owned by the workers represented by the People's Communes and administered by the respective People's Communes.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the rule of the people's communes in the territory, and at the same time to reflect the status of the workers as masters of the country, he directly divided the wealth seized from the whole of Paris and other regions, a third of the cash wealth of about 7 billion francs, and distributed it among the people, with 10,600,000 French workers and 1,600,000 Irish workers each receiving 410 francs of wealth, while the remaining 14,000,000 French peasants and craftsmen and 4,200,000 Irish peasants received 170 francs of wealth each.

The distribution of the wealth of the whole people, although the citizens were almost half less than the distribution of the workers, made all the citizens of the Franco-Patriotic Republic ecstatic, and the workers in other countries were even more blushing.

At this time, Blanqui then announced a series of measures to protect the interests of workers in China and even in Europe as a whole, such as abolishing the night shift for most workers, introducing free and compulsory education for the children of workers, building and allocating housing for workers in the people's communes, and not allowing the wages of public employees of the state and people's communes to exceed the wages of ordinary skilled workers, and so on. In addition, Blanqui announced that workers from all over the world would be welcome to join the commune and automatically become nationals of the Republic of the Franco-Africian People's Commune and enjoy the same treatment and benefits as Franco-Irish workers.

As soon as this piece of information came out, the workers of the whole of Europe went crazy, and everyone declared that France and Ireland were the country of workers, a country where workers had the highest status, the working class was the master of this country, and all the wealth of the country was owned by the workers.

As a result, a series of workers' emigration movements began throughout Europe. Every month, hundreds of thousands of workers in the UK's major industrial cities, such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, as well as other small industrial towns, leave the UK and enter the Republic of Franco-Iade Commune, either through Belgium or directly to Ireland. The same is true of Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and other cities in Germany, as well as in Austria, Italy, and even St. Petersburg, Kiev and Moscow in distant Tsarist Russia.

For a time, the population of the Franco-Patriotic Republic surged and its strength soared. In the following period, millions of French and more than 500,000 Irish young men were organized by the Commune regime to form the Franco-Patriotic People's Commune Revolutionary Army, with more than 2 million troops of the Commune armed forces, which not only defeated the Anglo-German-Dutch-Austrian forces attacking northern France, but also drove the British and Italian armies occupying Spain out of the Iberian Peninsula. Not only did he recover Spain, but he also overthrew the Portuguese crown with the workers and farmers who supported Portugal, and turned Portugal into a people's commune republic.

As a result, the Franco-Irish People's Republic further absorbed Spain and Portugal and changed its name to the Franco-Irish People's Republic.

But as the influx of workers from various European countries continued to increase, countries began to be vigilant, tightly controlled workers' movements, and raised workers' wages to retain workers. But even so, many workers continued to go to the Franco-Patriotic Republic, and at the same time, other strata of the European countries, the unemployed and the landless peasants, the urban vagrants, and the proletarian hooligans, rushed to the Franco-Patriotic Republic.

After the population of the Franco-Patriotic Republic increased dramatically, workers from all over the world poured into Paris and other major industrial cities to carve up the wealth of the Paris Commune. The workers of these different regions began to quarrel over the wealth seized by the Commune, and they all felt that they were unevenly distributed and went their separate ways. In particular, the urban vagrants and proletarian hooligans, in addition to the franc cash that had been distributed to them, kept their eyes on the wealth of the Commune, looking for every opportunity to provoke and take the lead in inciting various groups to loot the seized banks, warehouses, etc. At the same time, the group of workers who arrived later, the urban unemployed vagrants, were extremely hostile to those skilled workers with high wages, and directly declared that the high-wage skilled workers were workers' aristocrats and must be defeated. As a result, workers from various groups and workers from different places and speaking different languages made trouble. Blanqui, the leader of the Commune who was unusually cold-blooded to the aristocracy and capitalists, was very moderate and weak to these allies of the international working proletariat, and he did not dare to hold them accountable, but let them survive. He mobilized more of the seized wealth and distributed it among the workers from other places, so that the wealth of more than 20 billion francs, which had been seized from the French aristocracy and capitalists, was soon consumed, and only then did he barely maintain the temporary stability of the workers' community in the Commune.

The rest of Europe also suffered great demographic losses because many workers rushed to France, especially Paris. The loss of workers has a serious impact on the economies and industrial production of countries. Fortunately, because of the lack of workers, the factory owners raised the wages of the remaining workers, and thus retained the remaining workers, otherwise, I am afraid that the workers would lose more than half of them and run away to Paris, France.

But even so, European powers such as Britain and Germany have had to acquiesce to this pain. Because of the large number of workers, and the seizure of a large amount of industrial wealth and weapons by the Franco-Irish People's Commune, the Franco-Irish military was so strong that after several successive attacks and failures, both Britain and Germany abandoned the attack on the Franco-Irish.

Just when I thought the world would settle down, another thing happened that caused a stir in Europe.
