On July 14, 17 C century, the burghers revolt in Paris, the capital of the Bourbon Empire, won a complete victory, and the rebels stormed the Bastille and took control of the entire capital except the Palais Royal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The city defense gave up resistance, and the overwhelming majority chose neutrality, and later most of them fell to the rebels, and the few "warriors" loyal to the king were wiped out by their comrades and rebels. The king's guards were kept in the palace, with the king, and did not strike during the whole uprising.

In the evening of the same day, King Luci XVI sent an envoy to negotiate with the rebels, apparently to negotiate a political compromise. The king knew very well that he was facing not only the entire third-estate wealthy elite, but also a large number of second-estate nobles who held military power were also on the side of the king, who wanted to make the monarchy that suppressed them disappear, and at least to achieve a constitutional monarchy; On their own side, it seems that the only absolutely reliable is the clergy class who hold books in their hands and read scriptures in their mouths, and they have no other ability to fool people except for endorsing black money, and then there are a few royalist nobles.

That evening, the leader of the rebels held secret talks with the king's emissary, and both sides reached consensus on a number of issues:

First, the abolition of the privileges of the clergy, the cessation of tribute to the pope, and the immediate confiscation and auction of ecclesiastical property. The clergy are no longer supported by the state and are left to fend for themselves; The state no longer pays huge sums of money to the Hallelujah churches at all levels, nor does it pay tribute to the pope in the name of the state, and the king wants to give it is the king's own business, and the money of the state and the people cannot be spent. Part of the tax saved is used for national construction, and part of it is deducted from the tax paid, and it will not be paid thereafter, so as to strengthen the country and reduce the burden on the people.

Second, and most importantly, the most progressive point is that the aristocracy, represented by the king, affirmed the rights and interests of the new bourgeoisie, and respected and recognized them politically. Previously, only those declining nobles who did not have the right to inherit the title because they were not the eldest sons could be looked down upon by these noble lords. The propertied class and the aristocracy were legally equal and had the same rights, and the position of important officials, such as the magistrate, was no longer exclusive to the aristocracy. Ordinary people can become officials if they are rich, and every ordinary person has the opportunity to become rich. This indirectly achieved the equality of the aristocracy and the common people.

Thirdly, the decree established that all human beings have fundamental human rights, equality in the legal system, civil liberties and the right to private property should be protected, and that ordinary people should not be violated by the higher classes in this regard. The legislation affirms and declares that all human beings are and always are born free, equal in rights and that the right to property is sacrosanct.

Fourth, a decree should be issued immediately to abolish the old system of the nobility and other high-ranking people overriding the law, especially the system of judicial immunity, and to abolish the previous system of access to guild trades, so that the people in all trades can operate freely.

Fifthly, a national parliament with broad participation from all strata will be established on the basis of representatives of the second and third estates of the Estates-General, with equal rights for all delegates, regardless of their origin. Immediately convene a parliament to formulate a new constitution of the country and establish a constitutional monarchy.

The king's envoys agreed to all of these five agreements, which was very unexpected. The leaders of the uprising at that time planned to start the first meeting of the national parliament the next afternoon, but that morning, something happened...... Something was inevitable, because the messenger had finished talking to the rebels and went home, never to go to the palace again.

In the early morning of 15 July, just after the curfew, the city guards were opening the city gates, and two stout men on horseback dressed as civilians were waiting to leave the city. The officer on duty recognized one of them as a Guards officer and wanted to stop them. Two officers of the Guards forced their way out of the city and were killed by the city defense troops, and from these two men a map of the distribution of the city's defense forces, the city's fire defense, and the distribution of weapons and ammunition warehouses were found. What these two people want to do, there is no proof of death.

In the early hours of the same day, the intelligence services of the capital garrison, loyal to the anti-monarchy and constitutional monarchist aristocracy, intercepted a large amount of information through radio interception - the king had bought mercenaries at great expense, and had also contacted foreign intervention forces to "put down this riot once and for all." In order to get William to send troops to intervene, the king did not hesitate to sell the national territory.

The map on the dead man corroborated with the interception of radio communications, and even the centrist nobles were somewhat disgusted with the king. Several nobles who held military power ordered their subordinate rebel troops to immediately prepare for battle, and some troops on the outskirts of the capital moved into the city to strengthen their defenses. Now comes the question of how to deal with the king. Some of the radical leaders of the uprising proposed the arrest of the king on charges of treason, some nobles proposed that house arrest would be sufficient, and some nobles even felt that the point was over and the king should be released.

While everyone was arguing, at noon that day, the Guards moved. The king, acting wisely, made a bold and reckless move, and the scattered rebels quickly became monolithic.

The king's guards consisted mainly of three troops, a cavalry battalion, an infantry regiment, and a tank battalion. In addition, there is a company of about 80 personal guards, and an exclusive Air Force transport aircraft and crew.

The Guards Cavalry Battalion, 600 Mamluk hired cavalry, superb horsemanship is a must, and the cost of fresh clothing for angry horses is not low. Each cavalryman was armed with two horses, a gilded cavalry knife, a 9mm high-powered revolver pistol, and a 9mm imitation American M-1 carbine, all of which were gold-plated guns. Decades ago, machine guns had already declared that cavalry had to withdraw from the arena of war. In that era when the army was gradually mechanized and tanks were becoming more and more popular, the main role of this unit was to parade and satisfy the knightly feelings of the king and nobles who were nostalgic for the era of heavy cavalry. A whole battalion of window troops, identified.

The Guards Infantry Regiment, as it should be called, is more than 1,000 people and consists of three Guards Infantry Battalions and one automobile battalion. three infantry battalions, two stationed at the Palais Royal and one at the Palace of Versailles, 80 kilometers outside the city; Wherever the emperor went, the car company went there, 60 trucks, transporting people and things. The main task of this unit is to watch the gates, patrol, and transport things. This is the security and transport team of the king's family, and the equipment must be of the king's standard. These were the high-end tweed uniforms that all the soldiers had, only the officers above the regimental level, the white calfskin holsters and carrying gears, the gilded Browning, the gilded Thomson, if only the men of pure gold could hold them down. However, no matter how good the security equipment is, it is also the combat effectiveness of the security level, and the focus of your daily training is there. The donkey of the mill and the war horse of the front-line cavalry, that is the qualitative difference.

The Guards Tank Battalion, with 36 tanks in the battalion plus other logistics support vehicles, is mainly composed of three tank companies of 10 tanks, a battalion headquarters platoon of three tanks, a tank platoon of the emperor with 3 tanks, and a logistics maintenance support company equipped with 10 trucks. The tank is too big, and it is inconvenient to gild, so there is no need to scrape gold dust on the armor. The vehicles were well maintained, because the daily training was all about maintaining the vehicles, and the butter in the chambers of the tanks was still there when they left the factory before the battle that afternoon. However, compared with Wang's lack of training and no actual combat experience, the rebel army did not have a single tank on its side. The king's hopes are still quite high.

In terms of specific equipment, the battalion was equipped with the most advanced Soma S-35 tank (French: CharSomua S-35) in the Bourbon Empire at that time. In the real world, it was a cavalry tank used by France in World War II, and was once rated as "the best medium tank of the 1930s". The S-35 was produced between 1936 and 1940 and was equipped with armored cavalry divisions. By the weight standards of the time, the S-35 was the most mobile tank in its class, and its armament and equipment (47mm gun) were superior to those of the French army and other foreign tanks of the same class, such as the German No. 3 tank. The S-35 has good inclined armor (47mm) and a cast turret. But this is also due to its production cost and maintenance is not easy. During the French campaign in May 1940, the S-35 proved its tactical superiority, but was strategically misdeployed. It was produced in a variant, the S-40, with improved suspensions, armor with a welded turret, and reduced production costs, and in July 1940 it replaced the prototype and began production. Total production: 430 units. Technical data: combat weight 20,000kg, crew 3, length 5.30m, width 2.10m, height 2.62m, attack range: 142.83 miles, engine Somua, maximum speed on/off-road: 37 (max.) km / h, maximum stroke road / off-road: 259 / 129km, fire equipment 47mm SA35L / 34; 1x7.5mm Chatellerault M6 Model 31, power equipment: 190 hp, ammunition 47mm: 118 rounds; 7.5mm: 1250 rounds, armor 20-56mm, climbing degree 40 degrees, 0.76m high through vertical walls, 2.13m wide trenches, and 1.00m deep wading.

The king wanted to fight from the very beginning. "The turtle son is just fucking going to have a constitutional monarchy!!" The king had never thought of giving up his power to the parliament of the lower classes. No matter how many people there are, in the eyes of this proud king, they are also mustard, mustard, more mustard.

In the face of the mob, "Don't be afraid, there are soldiers." "This king's grandfather, Lucie XIV, said that this XIV is by no means a faint king, in the Central Continent he is called the Red Sun of the Continent, the Sun King of the Bourbon Empire; It was this king who worked hard at home and abroad, and finally propelled the Bourbons to the position of the third most powerful country in the world. Lucie XVI, the grandson of the Sun King, also wants to be a monarch who has made great achievements like his grandfather, how can the power in the hands of this king be handed over to others, not to mention that it is some low-class scoundrels who do not know how to govern the country at all!! He had soldiers, but it was only the capital city defense army that rebelled, and in other provinces, there were also large numbers of troops loyal to the king.

In the city of Paris, King Luci XVI had at his disposal: a battalion of cavalry guards, two battalions of infantry guards, and a battalion of tanks of the guards.

As long as these troops send the king to the airport outside the city, take the transfer, and his majesty the king can go wherever he wants, this large country with a standing army of 1.5 million, a population of nearly 200 million, and a land area of more than a million square kilometers, can always find a place and army to support him. When they get to the right place, organize a crusade army, and then encircle the foreign intervention army, there is no pressure to fight these rabble, "at most a month's effort, and His Majesty will be able to return to his dear Paris."

Inside the city, the king's main opponent was the rebel city defenses, which had been loyal to the New Parliament, and at that time these "rebels" numbered only 3,000 men and were armed with only a dozen howitzers. In addition, there are about 6,000 city defenders who are "resting" in the barracks and "neutral" in their political positions, but if one side offers enough price or overwhelming strength, these wall grasses will fall with the wind. Outside the city, there may be field troops that have fallen to the council, but there will also be royalist troops.

There are some things that the king of noble background thinks too simply, he does not understand the lower classes, just as the lower classes do not understand him. The actual situation at that time was by no means as optimistic as His Majesty had imagined:

After the revolution began, the arsenal of the city defense army was seized by the townspeople, (one says that the armory defenders participated in the uprising), and the rioting citizens got a large amount of munitions. The 35,000 rifles, 4,000 submachine guns, and 2,500 general-purpose machine guns stockpiled in the small arms arsenal all fell into the hands of the citizens. On the evening of 14 July, under the coordination of a certain nobleman who participated in the uprising, more than 2,000 officers and men of the barracks where the heavy weapons arsenal was located joined the uprising, and the inventory of more than 300 artillery pieces of various kinds once again armed the rebel army. Among them, there are 20 of the country's most advanced Lorraine 75mm self-propelled anti-tank guns (one self-propelled anti-tank gun battalion) and 18 Lorraine 100mm self-propelled howitzers (one artillery battalion).

(Lorraine 39LAM self-propelled artillery The Lorraine 39LAM is a self-propelled gun developed on the basis of the Lorraine 37L tracked transporter, and design work began before World War II.) The design of the car is relatively primitive, and it also has the design style of a World War I vehicle, which looks as if an infantry howitzer was directly attached to the transporter. ）

In the early morning of the 15th, "the rebels received a large number of heavy artillery" and "most of the nobles sided with the rebels", and these news made the remaining city defense troops and the garrisons outside the city, which had been riding the wall with an attitude, decide to turn to the rebels. On the afternoon of the 15th, before the operation of the Red Sun grandson king was completely thwarted, the airport on the outskirts of the city had already been occupied by the anti-royal army, and the king could not go anywhere.

"Don't be afraid, there are soldiers", but the soldiers may not be on your side at the critical moment.

At 12 noon on July 15, 17 years C century, King Luci, who was "with soldiers", began to move. More than 30 tanks drove out of the palace under the cover of hundreds of cavalry, and the mighty royal convoy began to fly the tanks on the streets of the capital, and the convoy arrived at the airport in the southern suburbs of Paris. Everyone knew that this was the king's convoy, some people took the initiative to dodge, some deliberately blocked the way, some cursed at the convoy, some people hid in the shadows and fired cold guns, and there were constantly cavalrymen who could not be hit and dismounted. Of course, there must have been people who used various means of communication to inform the rebels, "The king wants to escape, don't let him escape." ”

The king's tank group advanced slowly under the pressure of brave citizens, but for the ordinary people who could only block the tanks with private cars, the reactionary tank group seemed unstoppable, and it was only a matter of time before they drove out of the city to the southern suburbs airport. Dozens of tanks rumbled, and His Majesty King Roussy XVI sat in one of them, this was his first time riding in a tank, very comfortable, very manly sense of conquest, and it should be safe, it seemed to be a road to victory. This sense of security and the possibility of victory was just wishful thinking on the part of the king, provided that the opposing side did not have enough tanks or anti-tank guns. But the rebels have, and they have already prepared their pockets.

The rebel city defense command knew the king's movements almost immediately, and immediately mobilized troops nearby to prepare for the blockade, "Be sure to block the reactionary king until the anti-tank artillery units arrive." ”

At 13:15, the king's mixed tank and cavalry formation finally met a strong opponent, and all the officers and men successfully entered the ambush position of the rebel army. As red flares rose from both sides of the street, flames erupted from the buildings on both sides of the street, the rebels opened fire on the King's Guard with a variety of weapons, tanks were fired with small arms, and the unprotected Guards cavalry were dismounted one by one. These Guards tankmen were not trained in street fighting tactics, but their battalion commander was a somewhat skilled officer, and the battalion commander ordered all the crews to ignore the blocking fire and not care about their own cavalry, and to rush forward with all their might, and rush through this ambush area to get out of the city. As it should have been, this ambush site was only a little more than a kilometer deep, and the tank units would be fine as long as they rushed over. However, there are also capable people in the rebel army. Seeing that the tank troops were about to rush through the barrage belt, the rebel commander here resorted to the last resort, the "fire barrier". The final line of attack was a few makeshift barricades less than 20 meters apart, and the rebels brought in truckloads of gasoline to block this section of the street, and saw the vanguard tanks of the Guards rush into the barricades, and the submachine gunners who received an ambush on the side decisively set the gasoline barrels on fire. The gasoline was on fire, the whole barricade was on fire, the tanks were burning, and then there was the explosion of ammunition in the tanks, and the whole tank blew up, and the turrets were blown away.

The rebels were proud, proud, and the seemingly indestructible tank was destroyed by a fire, and this tactic is worth promoting. Gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, such incendiary materials, are available in the homes of residents of the capital. Soon all the rebels began to fire on the tanks.

The Guards tank units, which had witnessed the terrible situation, stopped advancing, and the fire barrier could not be passed at all. The battalion commander ordered the remaining tanks of the lead company to try to find a way through the streets and alleys, and the result of this operation was the loss of all the tanks of the lead company. The rebels on both sides of the alley condescendingly poured gasoline and diesel on the tanks, and then fired and set them on fire, the Guards tanks set up a cloud of flames, and the panicked tank crews fled, greeted by bullets. Tanks from other units were similarly attacked, as long as the rebels could get their hands on them.

Faced with an unrestricted warfare strike pattern that he had never suffered before, the tank battalion commander decided to retreat and find another way, and the king agreed. But at this time, the rebel self-propelled guns that hurried to this road blocked their back road. Eighteen howitzers opened fire, and the continuous heavy bombardment washed the ground, and the cavalry was blown up in the streets, and many tanks were hit. One of the tanks in the view of the King's sight was hit directly, the shell hit the engine compartment cover, the tank caught fire, the crew crawled out covered in fire, and the last one got stuck in the turret and burned alive. The king, who had never been on the battlefield, was taken aback, "This is too scary", and immediately ordered, "Go back to the palace, the palace is safe." ”

The commander of the tank battalion who received the order was well aware of the severity of this artillery tactic, and immediately ordered the remaining fleet to attack northward to "annihilate the enemy army and protect the king's return to the palace." The remaining twenty-two tanks of the Guards Tank Battalion and the remaining hundred or so cavalry of the Guards Cavalry Battalion advanced at great speed, protecting the emperor as he rushed to the place of departure. The self-propelled howitzer battalion was quickly swept away, and by this time there were still nineteen vehicles in the battalion, and only about fifty cavalry remained. But behind this enemy army was an anti-tank artillery battalion that rushed to reinforce it, and there was also a regular infantry company carrying cluster grenades and explosive packs, so they could only fight hard...... The formation was adjusted, and the king's escort platoon was placed at the rear to ensure the safety of His Majesty.

A contest that took place on a busy street, the world's first real combat confrontation between self-propelled anti-tank artillery units and tank units. In the end, the anti-tank artillery unit and infantry company were completely annihilated, and the tank unit also suffered heavy losses, with burning anti-tank guns and tanks all the way.

At 14:40 in the afternoon, His Majesty finally returned to the palace again, escorted by 7 scarred Guards tanks, and that's all. All the cavalry guards died on the road.

The last queen, who volunteered to stay at the palace, hugged the king and said to her depressed husband, "We can try again, and if it doesn't work, maybe we can talk to the lower classes." ”

The last king replied to his wife: "The tanks can't rush out, and those guards infantry can only be sent to death." As for negotiating with the lower classes, they took away the power and honor of our ancestors. After all this, will they still keep us? ”

The queen, who has been smart since childhood, instantly understood that from the perspective of the aristocracy, her husband was right. This riot and strife originated from the husband's vision of a strong country and an army, which required money, but those greedy people did not pay for it, but bullied the emperor at a young age to take the throne of His Majesty. This monarchy has been handed down from His Majesty's ancestors, and the Hallelujah Holy See has organized the Holy Coronation to give His Majesty this divine power. What are those lower class people, they are stupid, ignorant, shameless, ugly and greedy, they are a bunch of out-and-out scoundrels, they riot, they want to destroy the country, they want to take away the monarchy of Your Majesty. It's really unreasonable for the lower class people to have such thoughts, they are simply a bunch of crazy people, but now they and their sisters are almost about to fall into the hands of these crazy people. What will happen to the future of myself and my sisters, I can only pray for God's blessing.

All afternoon, Lucie XVI was in his wife's arms, the end of the empire was approaching, he failed to keep the country, and he didn't know if he could protect his wife. This beautiful woman, who also has a noble bloodline, knows her husband's distress, and comforting him with all her strength is the only thing she can do.

His Majesty King Lucy XVI's plan to flee was a complete failure. This is not just a tactical defeat, it is a defeat of the royalists at the national strategic level. The king could no longer go, and even if the royal army in various places broke out, it would be leaderless, and the intervention army would be impossible to talk about without the support of King Lucie. It was clear that the propertied persons of the third estate and part of the revolting second estate aristocracy were about to take full control of state power. This meant that the entire Bourbon Empire, throughout the First and Second estates, would be on the verge of complete defeat or annihilation. The ruling class is about to be wiped out, and in the glorious history of 356 years, the Bourbon Empire has really come to an end.
