Chapter 20: Under the Paris Revolution
"Casio, how long will the food reserves in the Bastille be enough for our people?"
Lin Haoda, who had just come out of the Bastille arsenal, said to Casio, who had become his military adjutant. Thunder asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"My lord, although the Bastille is called a prison, it is prepared according to the scale of a military fortress, and we have found a large amount of air-dried meat and brown bread reserves, and a lot of flour, enough for our army to eat for more than ten days, plus the three days' worth of bread and two days' worth of jerky carried by our soldiers, we can hold the Bastille for at least 15 days!"
"15 days? Well, it's not short. Lin Haoda muttered to himself and continued to walk towards the office where the Marquis of Lorne was being held.
"My lord, what are we going to do with the prisoners of war who have laid down their arms?"
Casio asked in a cautious tone.
"Oh, those people are of little use to us anymore, and it would be a waste of food to keep them, so let's be executed in secret, but we must tell our soldiers that when they get out of the Bastille in the future, they will blame the death of these original Bastille guards on the revolutionary army in Paris, anyway, they will kill a lot of people, and they will not care about this bad debt."
Although Lin Haoda said that he looked down on the lives of white people, he was not a fool, in France, his status as a mercenary and the task of guarding the Bastille were destined to go against the revolutionary forces in Paris, don't look at him summoning more than 1,000 soldiers at once, it looks awesome, but in France...... Oh no, in Paris alone, his more than a thousand people are nothing, and in a firearms war, the number of people is a very important criterion of strength!
The population of the whole of Paris is hundreds of thousands of local residents known to Lin Haoda, not counting the large number of floating people stranded in Paris! It was too easy to arm tens of thousands of people after the outbreak of the revolution!
Without an army of more than 100,000, Lin Haoda couldn't even think of being the boss in France......
Fortunately, Louis XVI of France trusted the mercenaries very much, and in fact, it was these mercenaries who were most loyal to Louis XVI, so the general plan in Lin Haoda's mind was to follow the faction of King Louis XVI of France.
Lin Haoda from the 21st century has seen too much of the virtues of democratic countries, and he has no demands in this regard, not to mention, he has such an awesome all-out war system to assist, if he has no thoughts in his heart, is he still him?
It just so happened that the Bastille was a political symbol of the French feudal royal power, and Lin Haoda felt that if he kept such a place of strong political significance, it should not be difficult to be valued by the mild-tempered French king Louis XVI.
As long as you put on a legal cloak and don't be beaten into a first-class bandit by the French government, Lin Haoda's future future will be limitless!
In this war-torn European world, he has the power of soldiers in his hands, coupled with the bug-like all-out war system, it may be a little difficult to rise or something, but it must be possible to protect himself and become a master!
Accompanied by Casio, Lin Haoda quickly passed by the guards standing guard in the corridor and arrived at the office of the Marquis of Lonay.
Marquis Lornet, whose hands were tied, couldn't help but become weird when he saw Lin Haoda in leather casual clothes, walking in the back half of Lin Haoda's side, the gorgeously dressed Casio officers, and the soldiers who saluted solemnly around him, had already made Marquis Lorne understand that the commander of this group of soldiers in blue military uniforms who suddenly appeared was a yellow race!
"You...... You are...... Asian? Marquis Lonet stammered out a greeting, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and swallowed the three words 'yellow pig' in his heart......
Obviously, this Marquis of Lonay is a typical racist!
In Europe at the peak of the Age of Discovery, especially among the powerful British and French powers, white supremacist racists who discriminate against those weak nations in other corners of the world abound!
They look down on the Native Americans, the monkeys of Southeast Asia, the black slaves of Africa, and the decaying and backward powers of the East!
Of course, in the eyes of the whites, because the Manchu Empire had not yet experienced the humiliating defeat of the Opium Wars, the status of the pigtailed Han people of the Manchu Empire was much higher than that of the indigenous peoples in the areas that had been conquered by the whites, but in the eyes of many whites, they had conquered most of the world and considered themselves nobler than the self-styled Qing people.
Racial discrimination against the yellow race was not too serious in Europe as a whole at this time, but there was already a small group of white racists who believed in blood and skin color began to have obvious prejudice against other peoples!
The Marquis of Lonay is a typical example of this type of person!
This kind of racist is not high or low, before Lin Haoda arrived at the Bastille, he met a white man from a civilian background who wanted to kill Lin Haoda, a yellow man!
Of course, the current Lin Haoda is different from the past, whoever wants to get him must first be prepared to be broken out of his teeth!
"Yes, I'm an Asian-Oriental, the commander-in-chief of these soldiers, and now the Bastille Keeper." Lin Haoda took off his boat-shaped tricorne hat, sat casually opposite the bound Marquis of Lonay, and smiled politely.
Before getting the information he wants, Lin Haoda will definitely be a very kind 'commander'.
Marquis Lonay took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, racism was just his personal tendency, and compared to his own life, this tendency was nothing at all!
"Hello, I'm the Marquis of Lonay and I have ......"
As soon as the Marquis of Lonay spoke, he was interrupted by Lin Haoda bluntly: "Your identity will be treated as it deserves, but before that, I hope you can cooperate with me as much as possible and tell me some news I want to know, Marquis of Lonay, please rest assured, my original identity is a mercenary loyal to the king of France, and I am in a hostile state with the revolutionary armed mob outside, and the reason why my subordinates have made a sudden attack on you is only because the current situation in the city of Paris is urgent, and I have no time to delay in negotiations, Presumably, the Marquis de Lonay has heard of what Paris is like today.
To tell you the truth, on my way here, I have seen many barricades built by the citizens of Paris themselves, and the confidence of the French people in the revolution is very resolute. “
Marquis Lonay sighed silently, "I can tell you everything I know, but can you promise not to harm my life and not let the soldiers abuse me?" ”
Lin Haoda nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, after all, killing you won't do me any good." ”
After Lin Haoda finished speaking, he added two words in his heart - weird!
