Bai Nan, who had just finished jogging, took the towel handed over by the presidential secretary Qi Yuan next to him and gently wiped the sweat on his head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Speaking of which, although Bai Nan is in his forties, he has been exercising. It's just that after becoming president, it became troublesome to exercise. It's not that he's too busy to exercise, in fact, Bai Nam is a very planned person, so in terms of work and personal time, there are few people who can find a good balance like him. Even Paek Nam even has time to attend parent-teacher conferences in person, or go to a ball game with his family on the weekends.

It's just that if Bai Nan wants to go out for a run, he must increase security preparations, even if Los Angeles is an absolutely safe place for him, but complete preparation is never exaggerated. Before the treadmill was invented, Bai Nan could only run a few laps in the large courtyard of Tongguang Pavilion.

Bai Nan gulped a few large sips of water, and then asked Qi Yuan, "What's the situation on the Russians' side." ”

Qi Yuan said: "Basically, everything that should be talked about is over, except for Vorontsov, who is a little bit of an arrow and wants to finalize the contract for the purchase of cruisers as soon as possible, the other Russians in the mission are somewhat unhappy, and his deputy Milovich even openly opposes leaving immediately, hoping to stay for a while." ”

Bai Nan nodded, not commenting on the behavior of the Russians. In this era, anyone who comes to Los Angeles will be shocked by her prosperity, it is indeed like a paradise on earth, with a suitable climate, developed business, and a good atmosphere, in recent years, many foreigners have come to Los Angeles and do not leave, simply settle here.

Of course, Datang will not leave these people casually, some special talents, such as Mozart and other elites in the field, have long-term visas issued by the Datang Immigration Bureau, and they can naturally settle here. But ordinary people who are engaged in business come to Datang. The visa date is relatively short, and it is difficult to really settle in Datang. Only after a series of conditions are met can a settlement visa in Datang be obtained. Datang is not suitable for black households, first of all, Tang people are Asian faces, if they are white or black, it is easy to distinguish. It is impossible to get a job in Los Angeles without a visa. It is even more impossible to buy a house or rent a house. That's why Los Angeles has always had strict and strong controls over illegal foreign residents.

At this time, Qi Yuan spoke again: "There is another important matter that needs to be reported to you. News came from Europe that the French constitutional monarchists and royalists had united at this time in an attempt to fish in troubled waters at the time of the Franco-German war. Even Louis XVI wrote a letter to the commander of the German army, which was now 200 kilometers away from Paris, claiming that as long as the German army could enter Paris and help him recover, then France was willing to give the whole of Alsace Lorraine with both hands. ”

The current king of France is still Louis XVI, so the term Restoration is somewhat inaccurate, but considering that the Jacobins could behead him at any time, Louis XVI's anxiety is understandable.

Bai Nan nodded again. "And then?" he asked. ”

"After the commander of the German 3rd Division reported the situation to the German headquarters, Field Marshal Blucher, after consulting with President Marnes, did not respond to Louis XVI's request, but told the Germans to withdraw immediately, and now it is estimated that they have withdrawn to Metz."

Bai Nan sighed: "The Germans are really decisive, they always feel that Marnes is the kind of person who will not give up in order to achieve his goal, but he can't imagine that he will do something and not do something." ”

"This is also a natural thing, after all, Germany is an anti-monarchy and anti-feudal republic. At the beginning, the common people all supported the national revolution because of this, as long as they were nobles and kings. They don't like it in any country. If you make peace with Louis XVI for the sake of a so-called name, or even make a fire for him, it is very unworthwhile. So it doesn't matter how the French fight themselves, but the German National Revolution cannot put on a hat that strikes the progressive forces. ”

Bai Nan agrees with his analysis of the secretary. In fact, if he is to decide. Germany would never be allowed to participate in the French civil war in this way. In fact, the Germans were guilty of taking Alsace Lorraine at this time, and if they were to ignore the ugly appearance, then Behran would immediately order the First International to halt the operation of Marnes. But fortunately, Marens also knew the severity and did not bite the hook. After determining that the German pressure was sufficient, it was wise to retreat and still defend Alsace.

However, the royalists and constitutional monarchists were so aggressive, and they did not have much sense of secrecy, that in the end, Louis XVI's attempt to make peace with the Germans alone, ceding Alsace Lorraine in exchange for the German army's help to suppress the revolutionary forces. Even in the French newspapers, there is a quote from German President Marens that there may be differences between countries, but there are no differences among those who love equality and freedom.

This sentence was not said at all, but people liked to listen to all kinds of stories, and when Marnes said this, he ordered the German army to retreat hundreds of kilometers, which seems to show the convincing bearing of a great statesman, as well as his noble conduct. The people who used to scold the Germans also seem to have developed some respect for Marnes.

Naturally, this was only collateral, and the anger of the people of Paris was still concentrated on Louis XVI, who betrayed the country for glory. The Montagnards shouted for Louis XVI to be beheaded for treason, while some radical Parisian citizens rallied and stormed the Château dampour, where Louis XVI and Empress Antoinette were under house arrest.

The National Guard did not stop the angry crowd, and some even opened the doors directly for the citizens. The townspeople stormed the Château de Dampur and pulled out the Louis XVI family, and the royal power was no longer worshipped, and the people punched and kicked the king, queen and princess, and finally locked them up in the castle of Dampur and set them on fire.

The fire at Château dample burned for a whole day and night, and by the time the politicians in Paris reacted, it was too late, and Louis XVI was left with ashes.

The French burned their king, shocking all of Europe even more than the outbreak of the Revolution. And this time it was not only shocked, but even provoked the wrath of the entire European monarchies. Emperor Leopold II, whose sister had been burned to death, angrily smashed his cherished vase, drew his sword, and thousands of Austrian troops began to assemble.

Even George III, who was at odds with France, was furious when he heard of Louis XVI's death: "The mob must be made to pay, or the madness may cross the sea and reach England." ”
