286 The Flame of Revolution in Rennes

As soon as the commander-in-chief of Rennes died, the military layman of the military-level political commissioner could only accept the overall defense, because he no longer dared to trust those politically unreliable officers, and the officer layer who had not received the 'patriotic education' of the great Robespierre leader was too unreliable, and this high-ranking and powerful general was about to retreat because he only died tens of thousands of people!

This is simply ignoring the interests of the First French Republic and the future of the French nation, and such **** people must be executed as a typical warning.

The military-level political commissioner believed that between Lin Haoda and the revolutionary righteousness, the French people would inevitably make the right choice.

As for how many French civilians would die on the battlefield, the military political commissioner never cared, because he himself was ready to die heroically in the moments leading up to the fall of Rennes.

The hardcore politicians cultivated by Robespierre are not a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the extremist Robespierre has naturally cultivated a group of extremist subordinates, who don't even care about their own lives, and naturally don't care about how many innocent French civilians will be buried if they adhere to the military strategy of brainless resistance.

In fact, on the battlefield of Brittany, where the difference in weapons generation was very small, the reason why the Young Guards fought a 1-to-10 casualty ratio with the revolutionary army and the citizen volunteers under Robespierre's government was inseparable from the rigid and fanatical struggle for one place and one city by these political commissioners.

The Young Guards did not fight much field and mobile security warfare at all, and the whole positional war was pushed all the way down, and in the name of the interests of the country, the future of the nation, and the people constantly proclaimed by the political commissioners, the French civilians were constantly and simply armed and sent to the front-line positions that devoured life like a bottomless pit.

It is true that this practice has caused Lin Haoda great losses, and the 100,000 young guards he brought have only killed half of the Brittany region, and more than half of them have already been killed!

If it weren't for the fact that the Young Guards maintained a die-hard fanaticism under Lin Haoda's personal command on the front line, they would have been unable to fight a long time ago.

Because the number of enemies faced by the Young Guards every time is several times that of their own, even if it is several times the number of civilian weapons, it is also a person!

In the war, in order to pursue a large number of lethal effects, almost every Young Guard soldier was ordered to bring one or two special large-yield black powder bombs, and every regimental unit had a large reserve of these large black powder bombs.

The Young Guards discovered that the French Revolutionary Army, whose veterans had become 'rare creatures', had a favorite way to fight during the war was to charge en masse with a crowd of black press, and at this time, throwing large black powder bombs into the crowd often had miraculous results.

The political commissioners who have been delegated to the grassroots level are not just shouting empty battle slogans, they are really strong organized people, who can constantly organize the loose citizen armed forces, and constantly use the superiority of the sea of people to oppress and attack and block the footsteps of the Young Guards.

As soon as the commander-in-chief of Rennes, the general general, was killed, and the small number of regular troops of the revolutionary army was immediately provoked into a small-scale political purge, and almost all the officers were interrogated individually by the political commissioners, and as long as they showed the slightest pity for the lives of the soldiers and disregard for the interests of the state, they were given 'priority care'.

The military-level political commissioner knew that the dead ghost general in Rennes City had a high prestige, and his death was likely to cause dissatisfaction among the officer hierarchy below, so he had to use drastic means to maintain the battle line in Rennes City, which would give him time to continuously organize new Rennes citizen cannon fodder and devote himself to street battles that consumed the Young Guards.

He didn't need a certain victory, he just had to keep the Young Guard bleeding and be unable to continue attacking Robespierre's last stronghold in western Brittany.

Under the lofty revolutionary idea, Robespierre's ruling government would never be allowed to collapse, and in the history of France, there has never been a person who has pushed the national revolution to such a level as Robespierre, and achieved a real general mobilization of citizens against the feudal dictatorship.

The weakness and controversy of the Girondists in south-western France had brought down the staunch radical revolutionaries in Brittany, and the Robespierre government was now the only hope for the radicals of the French Revolutionary Army at the bottom, and there was no second radical regime in France that really represented the interests of the sans-culottes at the bottom!

Because of this, Robespierre has cultivated a large number of real hardcore supporters, after all, his ruling government is also a single seedling of the First French Republic, once Brittany collapses, the First French Republic may not fall, but the regime representing the interests of the sans-culottes will surely dissipate.

The political power of the sans-culottes is so weak that most politicians prefer to speak for the bourgeoisie and the deep-rooted aristocracy than for the sans-culottes burghers, who have nothing but a bad life.

No ruler is willing to support a group of poor people at the bottom who have a numerical advantage and will riot at any time!

When the regime is stabilized, the rulers will naturally kick the poor away without a trace and establish a new social hierarchy based on themselves.

It is nothing more than a change of rich ruling class, and the poor who have shed their blood will at most get some leftover soup for profit, and then continue to be their poor people......

As for why the rebels are keen to take advantage of the poor, the reason is very simple, because when people are poor, they are willing to do their best, and the price of persuading a group of old men who live in mansions and have a large number of servants to rebel is obviously much higher than convincing a group of poor people who have a numerical advantage just to have enough to eat!

In the slogan of the revolution, the resistance of Rennes was finally maintained, and the last revolutionary soldier whom the dead general tried to save was turned into the heroic revolutionary martyrs of the French nation, well, the nameless kind, in the face of the national interests of the military political commissioner......

After all, there are so many dead revolutionary soldiers, who can remember all the names?

This is understandable for all the big guys, and you can't list the names of hundreds of thousands of people, isn't that embarrassing the government......

Therefore, the revolutionary martyrs who leave their names are always only a few typical examples, of course, as long as the position reaches a certain point, they will all leave their names, and the death of every general will inevitably be hyped up!

Under the revolutionary fire of Rennes, does Lin Haoda still have the strength to continue walking?
