"The revolutionary government of Marseille was burned down at the hands of the tyrannical puppet king Lin Haoda, and the revolutionary situation of the French nation had reached its most critical moment, and the question was no longer a choice between order and chaos, but between the new system and the old one. Because the people saw the fugitives gathered at the border behind the backs of foreigners! The upheaval is terrible, especially when it takes place deep in the foundations that bear almost all the weight of the old edifice, where millions of people toil with their hands to earn their living、...... Among the masses of people who have been taxed, plundered, and reviled for centuries who have suffered, oppressed, and despised for generations.

Through personal experience, they know the difference between what was in the past and what was happening at the time. They only have to think about it to feel the heavy pressure of royal taxes, ecclesiastical taxes, and lords' taxes. Accompanied by national songs exposing the conspiracy of tyrants and calling on the people to take up arms, a terrible anger swelled among the working masses in the cities and villages. ”

Robespierre, the chief of the Convention, paused for a moment, and pointed loudly to the political leaders sitting in front of him: "But in this great and difficult moment, there is a group of people who have kept the idea of negative compromise mixed in with the National Convention, which symbolizes freedom and equality, and the Convention has allowed you to sit in it on the principle of equality, and not to let you wantonly destroy the last remaining revolutionary gains!"

The city council of Marseille is a tragic martyr, and although they have chosen the wrong path, their revolutionary spirit is undoubtedly an example for those of us, and we have taken up the historical mission of the revolutionary conquest of Marseille, and we must not allow it to be corrupted in the hands of a small group of conspirators, even if they are born in the Jacobin Club, I will not tolerate it!

Saint-Juste, the list is up to you, this is the last internal clean-up of the National Convention, the highest legislature of the First French Republic, before the war with the puppet king Lin Haoda, and only by eliminating those who waver, can the French Revolution be reborn in crisis! ”

Then, the clear and indifferent voice of St. Juster resounded in the National Convention, and every time Robespierre announced that some politicians had been arrested, it was St. Juste, who was in charge of the National Salvation Committee, first listed the evidence and identified the 'sinners', and then the gendarmerie of the Convention would detain the politicians on the spot, and if they were not in the Convention, they would go to his house to arrest them.

After the names of thousands of people were pronounced by St. Juste, the already ready gendarmerie and the citizen volunteers who were completely loyal to Robespierre's Council of Orders swarmed in and arrested hundreds of politicians sitting in the National Convention on the spot!

At the moment when the name was pronounced, these people no longer had the political right to raise objections, and most of the politicians who were not named chose to remain silent, and at the same time they were afraid for a while, they could not help but rejoice that this terrible political purge was finally over, and in the future, they must firmly hold the thick legs of Robespierre's leader, and must not be inexplicably judged as traitors and political compromisers......

In the fanatical region of Brittany, anyone who opposed Robespierre's resolute command of the national war of resistance was armed with the Citizen Volunteers, who had established himself as a dignified man among the sans-culottes and a violent revolutionary among the upper echelons of politicians.

After the collapse of the main force of the Marseille revolutionary army, Robespierre spared no effort to take over the banner of radical thought, which made him gain great prestige among the radicals and sans-culottes.

Although Robespierre was not given the right to dictatorship by the Constitution, no one in the National Convention dared to oppose him, and the voting decision became a kind of situationalism for Robespierre, because most politicians did not dare to deviate from Robespierre's will, for fear of becoming the next target of purges......

The Monthills were depressed, and the Jacobins were not as radical as Robespierre's political ideas, and all the members were guillotined one after another, and Alas Bell himself was ordered by Robespierre to buy the pieces of meat from the former Jacobin No. 2 after his death...... As for what the citizens were going to do when they were done with it, Robespierre didn't care, he just used the death of this political leader who could stand with him when the First French Republic was first established in Brittany, to warn the wavering politicians which side to stand on!

Brittany was full of local commissioners loyal to Robespierre, who had all the right to monitor and censor evidence, and even to mobilize local citizen volunteers to arrest political criminals, and it was with this group of people that Robespierre firmly controlled the area controlled by the First French Republic.

In some areas, the executed politicians had strong local forces and their own guards, and the commissioners mobilized a much larger number of citizen volunteers to suppress them!

The number of people who suppressed and killed at one time was at least four figures, second only to Lin Haoda, the 'village slaughtering madman'......

St. Juste, who was primarily in charge of such matters, described this repression as having nothing in common between the people and the enemy except the sword. For those who cannot be governed by justice, an iron rod must be used to rule.

Robespierre explained to the French populace that this was done because it was more difficult for the betrayer to be forgiven than the original enemy in this struggle.

Regarding the policy of terror, Robespierre believed that revolution is to realize the constitution, revolution is only a means to achieve freedom, equality and lasting peace, and terror is to destroy the enemies of the people and protect the legitimate rights and interests of good citizens.

Although Robespierre insisted that the suspects should be screened and that the perpetrators should be dealt with rather than punished, they could not be called terror without an increase in terror. In the implementation of terror, a group of people will fall victim to this policy, and terror is inherently a measure that breaks through the norm and lacks a mechanism for restrictions; Terror involves a large number of sans-culottes, and the enthusiasm of the masses can easily be converted into political fanaticism, and terror cannot leave the people; In addition, the purpose of achieving terror was to achieve the goal of defending the fragile republic, and terror was a responsibility at the time, so the problem of controlling terror was very tricky, and Robespierre, who could not effectively control it, could only let it go for the sake of the overall situation.
