One thousand forty-nine. 1st National Guard Division!
On August 2, 1966, the general strike in Paris began!
This was the second revolution in France since the French Revolution of 1789. After the outbreak of the war, a large number of contradictions accumulated in France. Yetiri's death set the trigger for the Revolution.
The revolution first broke out in the steel works of Paris and then spread throughout Paris. Within hours, the whole of Paris was joining the revolutionary wave.
And then, all the major French cities began to breathe the wave of revolution in Paris!
The French government was in disarray, and they were unprepared for such a revolution. They couldn't even know how the revolution broke out, and they couldn't know why they didn't have any information beforehand.
Not so long ago, they were rejoicing at the death of the leaders of the French revolution, Yettieri, Aurangtier and Rowntes, believing that those who opposed the government had lost the people who led their struggle, but almost overnight, something so terrible had happened.
With the workers' strikes, the citizens' strikes, the students' strikes, the whole of Paris was paralyzed.
And the most troublesome thing is the attitude of the police and the secret police, who seem to have lost control of the situation, and just watch Paris become a mess and have nothing to do.
As the chief of police in France, Berkeley was severely reprimanded by President Khateri and Prime Minister Sinag, but Berkeley told them aggrieved that it was not that he was incompetent, but that the riot was extremely ferocious. With the power of those policemen in his hands, he couldn't do anything at all.
Now, the only thing that can be counted on is the army.
The 51 Panzer Corps and the 52 Panzer Corps had to maintain the entire security of Paris, at the suggestion of General Robito. The French 1st National Guard Division quickly received the order and appeared on the streets of Paris under the leadership of Lieutenant General Anova.
Admittedly, despite his loyalty to the French government, General Anova had some sympathy for these revolutionaries, and he did not see a wise choice for direct armed repression. To this end, he made a special telephone conversation with Prime Minister Schinag and suggested that the crisis should be resolved through negotiations. But this proposal was categorically rejected by Prime Minister Schinag, who only gave such an order in a phone call to the lieutenant general:
"General, these are not true patriots. They are just mobs. The only two options we can do with the mob are to put them all in jail or to crack down on them resolutely and completely. But apparently our prison is not big enough, so. I think Your Excellency the General should know what your duty is......"
When the phone hangs up. General Anova shook his head sadly. The rioters were only fighting for their own legal rights, and if they were really armed and suppressed, then the whole of Paris would be turned into a sea of blood.
Driven by this mentality, General Anova ordered his men not to act rashly without receiving money from them, and their task was only to hold back the procession and prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
But at this time, Lieutenant General Anova made a bad decision, he transferred some of the tanks to the streets. From his original intentions, this would be a deterrent. It can make those marchers retreat in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
And then the result of this was to completely anger the revolutionaries......
The corrupt government has made the decision to crack down by force...... The rumor spread quickly in Paris......
Look, those tanks that appeared on the streets of Paris...... Look, those machine guns that appeared on the streets of Paris...... Behold, the vicious soldiers who appeared on the streets of Paris......
All the French were outraged, marching for their own survival and for their own equal interests, and many of them hoped that by this way they would be able to force the government to negotiate, but the hateful and terrible tank and machine gun soldiers shattered all these illusions......
The army will shoot at any time and at any time, and now, either abandon this revolution or face the bullets of the enemy and defend the power they deserve with their own blood and lives!
The French made the latter choice......
Under the command of the "Revolutionary Party of Yetiri", the "Provisional Command of Combat Paris" was formed, and they were to take on the important task of directing the people of Paris to fight the armed forces in the form of force!
And at this time, a very special figure appeared, and those revolutionaries never imagined that this person would appear at this time:
Lieutenant Colonel Adams!
As soon as the lieutenant colonel, who had been sent by the French government to the Paris steel works, appeared, he was besieged by those revolutionaries, but as the first initiator of the general strike, the president of the Paris steel plant's trade union, Avaco, quickly relieved the lieutenant colonel. He told the revolutionaries that without the cooperation of Lieutenant Colonel Adams, the strike at the Paris ironworks would not have gone so smoothly.
The attitude of the revolutionaries towards Lieutenant Colonel Adams suddenly became different.
"Ah, I've always sympathized with you." Lieutenant Colonel Adams explained his intentions at the Paris Iron and Steel Works: "But as a member of the military police, I have my duty, and I cannot openly support you. Not long ago, however, I received a secret order from the government to suppress any riots by force. Gentlemen, what the government feared did happen, and what I feared did happen. But I cannot order my soldiers to shoot at you, I will never be a traitor to France, and my conscience tells me that this choice is also the right one. ”
There was a burst of applause and cheers all around...... Now everyone's attitude towards Lieutenant Colonel Adams has completely and completely changed.
"The situation is very critical." Lieutenant Colonel Adams said, with a worried look on his face: "I just got the news that the government has ordered the First National Guard Division to immediately crack down. And it's just before 6 p.m. It will be the most brutal and bloody repression, gentlemen, and you must be prepared! ”
Someone was indignant. Someone sensed the fear. At this time, the new leader of the "Yetiri Revolutionary Party", Lithem, heard the news and told everyone in a loud voice: "There is nothing to be afraid of, in 1789 the government dealt with the insurgents in the bloodiest way, and all we have to do is to fight for the power we deserve with our own lives!" ”
"Insurrection - Insurrection - Insurrection!" There was a cry of this all around.
Lieutenant Colonel Adams seemed to be infected: "Mr. Leader, I admire your determination to fight for France, and because of that. I have a gift for you! ”
Under his command, more than a dozen trucks drove over, and no one knew what was in the trucks......
"Weapons to fight for freedom!" Lieutenant Colonel Adams jumped into a truck. The tarpaulin on it was pulled open, and suddenly, a large number of weapons appeared in front of everyone.
There was silence at first, and then a cheer that pierced the sky resounded through the sky.
"Long live Lieutenant Colonel Adams!" There were such cries. Then more and more people joined in the cheers.
"Lieutenant Colonel. Everything you did for us will be remembered forever! "On the day when the revolution is victorious, all of us will remember what you have done for us!" ”
The weapons were quickly distributed to the revolutionaries...... You have to admit that these are very sophisticated weapons, and most of them are German-made. But for the revolutionaries, they don't care where these weapons come from.
Now the parade is gradually turning into a vigorous uprising...... The insurgents have given up all illusions, and the only thing they have to do is to fight violence by violent means!
And all this seems to be perceived by Lieutenant General Enova, the Parisians who had been confronting the army. A rapid retreat is underway, attention. It was just a retreat, not a demonstration of abandonment. Moreover, they seem to be building fortifications there.
"I think maybe something terrible will happen soon." Lieutenant General Anova muttered, "You see, there they are building temporary fortifications, and I also see some fog appearing. Major Laden, do you want to see Paris turned into a battlefield? ”
"No one wants to see this terrible scene happen." Major Laden quickly replied: "But it seems to me that there is no better way for you to deal with the present situation, the higher levels of the government will not grant them any demands, and the rioters, judging by their performance, will never give in to the orders of the government!" ”
"That's what I'm most worried about and what I'm most afraid to see." Lieutenant General Anova's face was full of apprehension: "In any case, I want to try, and if bloodshed can be avoided, it will be the luck of Paris, and it will be the luck of the whole of France." Major Laden, I want to send you to them, and I invite a certain head of theirs to come here for negotiations. ”
"Negotiations?" Major Laden was taken aback: "I don't think they will accept such a request, and I don't think any outcome of the negotiations will be acceptable to the government." ”
"But I'm going to have to try anyway." Lieutenant General Anova's answer was very firm: "I must make an effort before something more terrible is about to break out, and this is responsible for myself and for the whole of France!" Major, will you bring my haha to those people? ”
"I do!" Seeing that the general had made up his mind, Major Laden replied without hesitation: "I will go to them now and try my best to convince them!" ”
Lieutenant General Anova nodded solemnly...... He knew that this was his last hope, and it was also the most uncertain hope of the entire French nation in Paris......
......
"Negotiations?"
When they heard the news, everyone burst out in opposition: "No, they are setting up a scam, they are simply there to deceive us!" Refuse their demands and detain this lackey major! ”
In the face of the surging emotions, Major Laden did not have the slightest fear: "Gentlemen, General Anova's invitation is very sincere, please believe that no matter what the outcome of the negotiations, the negotiators will come back unscathed, this is a solemn promise of a soldier!" We will not deceive you with our honor! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Adams called several of the leaders of the revolution aside: "From what I know, General Anova still sympathizes with you. If we can win his defection, it may be of great help to our uprising. Gentlemen, I suggest you try your best. ”
After a short moment of silence. "I am the leader of this revolution," said Littem, "so let me bear the danger." ”
"No, because you are the leader of the revolution, you should not take any chances...... "Avako said quickly, "Leader, let me go, even if I am detained by them or even killed by them." Nor will it have any effect on the revolution. ”
Seeing what Litham had to say, Avako raised his voice: "Now it's not about arguing about anything else, it's about deciding whether our revolution will succeed or not." Mr. Leader. I hope you understand what you do! ”
"Mr. Avaco, I'm so proud of you!" Littem said heavily: "Please go with confidence, the whole of Paris, the whole of France will be your most solid backing!" ”
A proud smile appeared on Avako's face......
"Avaco. Let me go with you. Avaco's most powerful assistant, Pisnoche, said: "No matter what danger happens, please let me be by your side!" ”
Avako shook his head slightly: "You have two children. And I didn't have any concerns. Pisnoche, stay here, you are needed even more. ”
Pisnoche's eyes instantly moistened......
......
Major Laden received good news that the rioters had agreed to the request for negotiations, and that they would send their heavyweight Avako to negotiate, but Major Laden was also warned that Avaco's safety must be ensured, otherwise Anova would bear all the consequences.
Major Laden felt a little unhappy in his heart. There has never been a civilian who has dared to speak like this to a general, but for the sake of the big picture. Major Laden agreed to all their requests.
Avako and Major Laden left here, and no one knew his fate, no!
It was the first time for Avaco to see so many of his tanks and so many soldiers, and it was also the first time he had seen General Anova, but he did not have the slightest fear when he met General Du: "General, our time is very urgent, please get straight to the point immediately." ”
"Oh yes, that's what I thought." Lieutenant General Anova quickly spoke: "Sir, I have great admiration for your demeanor, but I do not think you have the strength to stand up to the government. To tell you the truth, I have received orders to suppress you, but I am not willing to do so, and from the point of view of an ordinary Frenchman, I advise you to abandon all unrealistic illusions at once and go back to where you have been. ”
General Anova was actually well-intentioned, but he didn't know how to communicate with someone like Avako, and his words quickly aroused Avako's disgust:
"Your Excellency, do you really think that we will give up the revolution? We are fighting for our dignity and the right to exist, and we are never afraid of any threat. But you, Your Excellency, do you think that you live a happy and dignified life? I think you should take your soldiers to the side of the revolution instead of becoming the greatest sinner in France, Your Excellency General, what are you hesitating about? ”
Lieutenant General Anova couldn't laugh or cry, he was originally trying to persuade them, but now the other party wanted to rebel against him.
"Is there really no room for negotiation?" After a long period of persuasion to no avail, Lieutenant General Anova asked helplessly.
"The only room is for you to join us with your troops." Avako said categorically: "We will not accept any negotiations other than that. Of course, I know that you will not agree, so I have now decided to go back to my comrades, and of course, you can detain me or even kill me here. ”
"You are insulting my honor, and you are insulting the honor of the French soldiers!" Lieutenant General Anova replied solemnly: "Although there are great differences between us, I will never betray my promise. Major Laden, please send Mr. Avako back to them yourself! ”
"No need, I know how to go back!" Avako smiled and said, "As you said, our differences cannot be resolved through negotiation, but I have great respect for you. Whether the revolution succeeds or not, I will remember you. ”
With that, Avako strode out of the place.
Looking at his back, Lieutenant General Anova sighed: "Although he is our enemy, he is a respectable man, Major, I am very worried about the future and fate of France, there will be more and more people like Avaco, and the pressure on the government and us will also increase." ”
Seeing that Avako was gradually walking towards the opposite side, Major Laden also shook his head and said: "But they are too stubborn, they have no idea who they are fighting against, I never thought that those unarmed civilians could deal with so many troops." ”
Lieutenant General Anova laughed, and was about to say something, when a crisp voice interrupted it.
There was a "thud", it was the sound of bullets, and then, as everyone saw it, immediately Avaco, who was in the camp of the French 1st National Guard Division, stiffened there, shook, and fell to the ground heavily.
The whole scene became horribly quiet! (To be continued......)
