Chapter 585: The Soviet Union Didn't Do It
For General de Gaulle, who had seen strong winds and waves, the actions of these students were indeed not worth worrying about. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He is clearly more concerned about the upcoming trip to Romania than these protests, which are not yet big. Since the sixties, France has actively used diplomatic means to make contacts with a series of unexpected countries, and has carved out a unique presence in the international community.
From the time he came to power, Ceausescu in Romania had a clear shadow of Gaullist and was known as the France of Eastern Europe. It's just that this country is in the circle of Soviet influence, and for de Gaulle, a visit to an Eastern European country that is also in an awkward position is obviously a very interesting visit. Just like the earthquake caused by the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and China four years ago, this trip to Eastern Europe will certainly be discussed by countries around the world in a short time.
Independence was the basis of de Gaulle's leadership of France, and he could do anything for the sake of this impression. Compared to the upcoming trip to Romania, it is clear that this protest, organized by the student group, does not deserve more attention from General de Gaulle.
In the face of protests by tens of thousands of French students, French courts tried the students who participated in the march, while the French gendarmerie and security forces began patrolling and guarding the Latin Quarter to prevent the students from causing further incidents. The Latin Quarter is not a formal region, but in fact has the highest concentration of universities in France. It is home to some of the most famous universities in France and is a place of concentration for students.
At this time, the streets of the Latin Quarter were full of French government police, who vigilantly patrolled the streets to prevent emergencies, each policeman carried batons, and behind them the explosion gendarmes were ready to be dispatched, and police cars and tear gas were ready to meet the dishonest students.
It seems that the situation has been brought under control, and at the same time, French Prime Minister Pompidou, acting on behalf of the government, ordered a ban on student groups from participating in the procession, as Charles de Gaulle wanted, and then Pompidou traveled according to the established itinerary, and the situation seems to have calmed down.
At least now in France, if you want to be a philosopher, you have to be a Marxist, or an existentialist, or a structuralist", the activity of **** ideology gives students the courage and basis to question authority and order, and the increasingly strong pursuit of the *** makes them more and more dissatisfied with the stereotypes in French universities, the national liberation movements that are burgeoning around the world, and the wave of opposition to the Vietnam War excite them.
"Coming back? Your students are fine, I heard that there are conflicts between students at your school and the police. Outside an apartment, a seductive Frenchwoman asked with concern when she saw her husband returning.
"It's fine, but some of the students were injured and the government didn't notice the students' dissatisfaction at all." The upright man seemed to be quite worried and said to his wife, "I hope the confrontation between the two sides will not continue." ”
A teacher who had just finished a student meeting hurried back to his apartment, and the moment the door closed, the anxiety on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by silence that went deep into the marrow. It never seems to have been affected by the current situation. Completely like an outsider, he indifferently observed the development of the situation.
Of course, he was a Soviet, but he had lived in France for more than twenty years, and was a Soviet who was more proficient in French than Russian, and as for the original owner of his identity, he had died as early as World War II. He was arranged by the Ministry of the Interior to live in France, with a French wife, a French salary, and a perfect fit into his role.
He has been living in France for twenty years, and it can be said that life is going well, better than the vast majority of people. The French woman he married had a deep relationship with him, and even if he leaked out one day, he believed that his wife would be like the Decembrists, giving up a privileged life to accompany him.
It is very admirable that the Decembrists, who were aristocrats, fought for the abolition of their aristocratic privileges and for the progress of society, completely betrayed the class from which they came, betrayed the system they had defended, consciously linked the fate of the country and the nation with the trend of history, and sacrificed their happiness and even their lives. What is even more admirable, however, is the noble deeds of the wives of the Decembrists, the noble ladies of superior birth, who gave up their privileged lives and traveled thousands of miles to the penal colonies of their husbands, where they endured the bitter cold of Siberia with their own men.
Just a few hours earlier, as a representative of the teachers, he had attended a meeting of the students, and in front of many of the students who had been taught by himself, he had read out the revolutionary manifesto with a fanatical expression of all kinds of ideas, and he watched silently at the students' declaration of battle.
After eating, and avoiding his wife's attention, the spy, who had been lurking in Paris for more than twenty years, began to send the first telegram of the year to headquarters: "Although the ideas of these students are so naïve, that they do not even have a basic revolutionary concept, the fighting spirit displayed is beyond doubt, and I am very sure of their determination to persevere to the end." ”
Conflicts erupted suddenly, and the students of the Latin Quarter, ignoring the ban on marches, rushed out of the campus after the verdict against the leading students, expressing their dissatisfaction with the government's decision against the students.
The students who came out of the various campuses converged into a torrent, which grew bigger and bigger as time passed. More than 20,000 students marched forward with their heads held high, singing the Internationale, "Rise up the hungry and cold slaves, rise up the suffering people of the world, the blood is boiling, and you will fight for the truth!" ”
In the afternoon, the Paris Police Department ordered the students to disperse, and more than 1,600 French policemen armed with batons shouted to the marching students with loudspeakers to return to school or face the consequences.
Then the police officers with batons held their shields and ran into the group of students who were marching head-on, and the cold-faced police officers knocked the students to the ground with batons in their hands, like a high-speed machine, telling these students who had not yet entered society how ridiculous their so-called persistence was. Behind the policemen, tear gas bombs were being released, and the whole street was filled with the foul smell. The protesting students who were caught by the police fell to the ground one after another, and the police skillfully handcuffed them to arrest them. More than 500 people were arrested and nearly 1,000 injured during the march.
The French National Federation of Students and the National Union of Teachers of Secondary and Higher Education have called for a general strike and a boycott; Sartre and a group of other celebrities issued statements calling on "all workers and intellectuals to support materially and morally in the struggle of the students and teachers", and larger demonstrations erupted in the Latin Quarter, while the police blocked the bridge over the Seine, resulting in fierce clashes that resulted in hundreds of injuries and arrests that lasted until dawn the next day.
At the same time, a news from Moscow brought the student group into anger, and in an interview with French reporters, Serov, chairman of the Soviet National Security Committee, said with envy, "I admire the execution of the French police, and dare to suppress such a big protest, he has never done ...... executioner"
"Look, the KGB hasn't done it." The students have one more slogan for the French police. (To be continued.) )
