256 Under the start of the politics of terror
With the support of a small number of Jacobins and Montagnard leaders under Robespierre's control, the Convention in Brittany passed with great efficiency a dark period of brutality comparable to that of the dictatorship of the Regent of Linhoda in the later period.
Of course, the National Salvation Committee did not live up to its name, Robespierre really relied on this organization to save the fate of the French nation in the hands of Lin Haoda, this is all a later story, and it will be known in the future......
Immediately after its establishment, the National Salvation Council became the permanent supreme body of people's power, and if the National Convention belonged to the legislature, the National Salvation Committee took over all the powers except the legislative power!
The judicial power controlled by the National Salvation Committee does not even require a trial, but only a list of crimes against the country and the French people, and the death penalty can be imposed on the spot......
The day after the establishment of the National Salvation Committee, Robespierre's rearmament of the army was in full swing, and under its command Robespierre was quickly established the Security Council, headed by Robespierre, whose task was to oversee the reconstruction and reorganization of the police forces in all the revolutionary areas ruled by the Municipality of Brittany.
Under the management of the Council of Peace, all the cities of Brittany immediately used the threat of foreign warlords to pull up groups of citizen volunteers, these citizen volunteers were on duty in shifts, the wages were very low, and it did not affect the daily life and work of the citizens, but when the battle was needed, these citizen volunteers would pick up the muskets placed at home and quickly assemble in front of the local city hall or police headquarters to suppress all those who were considered traitors by the National Salvation Committee, or to fight against foreign enemies!
Robespierre used this way of saving money, in the crowd of the local city government, almost all the men of school age were hung up with the name of the citizen volunteers, this move in the crisis of Lin Haoda's victory, successfully passed the vote of the National Convention, and then, Robespierre reorganized the French Revolutionary Army loyal to the National Salvation Committee, this French Revolutionary Army in order to save costs, all wearing the old white military uniforms left over from the original French regular army, anyway, whether it is the mercenaries of the reactionary aristocracy or Lin Haoda's troops, I don't wear this kind of white uniform, so I don't have to worry about not being able to distinguish between friend and foe on the battlefield.
However, unlike the original French regular army in the old days, the logo on the white uniform and the cockade on the tricorn hat were all changed to red, white and blue, which symbolized the revolution, which was also the flag of the French Republic privately established in Brittany, and the Girondists also recognized it.
Robespierre soon reorganized the remaining remnants of the National Guard into the French Revolutionary Army, loyal to the National Salvation Committee.
Robespierre's series of drastic reforms greatly increased his popularity among the people, and the bigwigs in the National Convention also thought that this was used to deal with Lin Haoda, and the Magistrate's Committee mobilized almost the entire Brittany region of male and strong citizens, and the French Revolutionary Army reorganized the low morale of the revolution, which increased the absolute quantity and quality of the army in a short period of time, which naturally made the French people in Brittany elated. It also led to a continuous influx of oppressed French people from other occupied territories into Brittany, which had become the faint center of the French revolution.
To the surprise of the bigwigs of the National Convention, after Robespierre reorganized the Citizen Volunteer Army and the French Revolutionary Army, the first target of the knife turned out to be 'his own people'!
The first unlucky ones were the aristocracy that did not flee Brittany, these nobles did not support the king or the revolution, they belonged to the neutral faction, and the revolutionary government cut off their privileges, and they could not lose a small part of their lives, but it was this group of harmless aristocratic class that became the first target of Robespierre's knife.
For this group of aristocratic class, the French people naturally want to die and die......
The bigwigs of the National Convention did not dare to raise objections to the maintenance of the aristocratic class, and in this way, the first butcher's knife of the National Salvation Committee went smoothly, and the judicial trial agency became a real rubber stamp, and it was only necessary to sign the 'beheading order', of course, if you didn't sign it, you would also be beheaded, but those who refused to sign it naturally went on the blacklist of the National Salvation Committee and became the target of St. Juste's next step.
Any heretical revolutionary who does not support Robespierre, the leader of the great revolution, deserves death!
This is the motto of St. Juste today......
In addition to St. Juster, many fanatical supporters of Robespierre's theory thought so, and they were also the main members of the National Salvation Committee.
Robespierre's supporters are not a few, not only the National Convention, if it weren't for Lin Haoda's order to ban all the people's clubs, Jacobin clubs would have opened all over France, and there are still many 'Jacobin clubs' selling dog meat abroad.
Under the vigorous search of the citizen volunteers, the blood of the noble class of Brittany stained the guillotine of the National Salvation Committee, and the guillotine of the National Salvation Committee began to search for new targets as if it had been opened with blood!
After the aristocracy of Brittany was almost killed, the big landlord bourgeoisie who opposed Robespierre's political ideas began to suffer, because these big landlord bourgeoisie also owned a lot of land, which made the French peasants pay a lot of extra taxes, so it was easy to kill, not to mention the previous 'custom' of killing the aristocracy without trial.
As soon as the convention is opened, it is difficult to stop, and after the killing becomes a part of the life of the French people, the French people will not feel that it is wrong, anyway, the killing is all big people, and they are not low-level civilians who can't eat enough!
Even most of the French citizens in big cities regard visiting the guillotine and cutting off people's heads as an impromptu program every day, and all kinds of rich people are sent to the guillotine with rich expressions.
Under the efficient 'trial process' of the National Salvation Committee, there is not a single day of shortage of people on the guillotine in the big cities of Brittany, and every big city has to execute at least two digits of 'traitors' a day, and sometimes even three digits a day!
After all, the city government of Marseille is on the verge of collapse, and it is only natural that the National Salvation Committee should speed up the internal cleansing.
After the death of the capitalist opponents, the unlucky bastards of the Convention who opposed Robespierre's dictatorship were naturally followed, and it was only then that they found themselves no longer in power to stop this torrent of horrific politics!
Because no one dared to oppose Robespierre, for fear of becoming the next one to go to the guillotine!
