The small town of Selgui in northwestern France has now become a huge construction site. Although, the Chinese * army is still far from Paris. However, the French have already begun to prepare. The French Minister of War, A.J. Saint-Arnaud, wanted to build a strong defensive line around Paris so that the Chinese* army could be kept out of Paris in the event of an attack on it.

To do this, the French Army needed to start construction before the arrival of the Chinese* troops. The attack of the Chinese* army was so fast that the French could not stop it at all. Time was running out for the French, and for that they had to seize all the time.

The French Minister of War, A.J. Saint-Arnaud, planned to throw millions of troops into the defensive line on the outskirts of Paris. In this way, it may be possible to buy France more time. It is convenient for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire to bargain and do their best to keep France and the French Empire.

Located in a small church in the southern part of Sergi, it is not the time for worship, so the church is deserted. Because of the war, many of the inhabitants fled the area and poured into Paris. As a result, the population of the entire Sergi was decimated, and not many people came to church in the midst of panic.

In a secret room of the church, several people were talking in secret. A middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body looked very excited.

"Napoleon III failed the hopes of the French people, and instead of bringing victory to the French people, he continued to lose. His defeat will bury France for this. We must overthrow Napoleon III in order to save France! "This middle-aged man. None other than Adolf. Thiers, the spokesman of those who opposed the Second French Empire.

Adolph. Thiers was born into a family of cloth merchants. Merely. During the French Revolution, his family was destroyed, leaving his childhood very poor. During the July Dynasty, he was appointed Minister of the Interior. However, during the Second French Republic, he was not reused. When Napoleon III established the Second Empire, he was even arrested and imprisoned for opposing Napoleon III. After his release from prison, he became the most staunch opponent of Napoleon III. If we say, France is constantly moving towards victory. He wanted to overthrow the rule of Napoleon III, which was simply impossible. But now, France is constantly losing in the war, which is equivalent to giving him a great opportunity!

Small room, except for Adolf. Beyond Thiers, there was a middle-aged man in a military uniform and a young man. These two people are also well-known people. The middle-aged soldier is Patrice. McMahon, who had just been promoted to Field Marshal of France and was appointed Commander of the Paris Garrison. He was in charge of the defense of Paris this time.

That young man was Louis Brown, the king of the July Dynasty overthrown by Napoleon III. Louis I, the second son of Philip I. Shire. Philip. As a descendant of the overthrown July Dynasty and first in line to the throne, the young Louis. Shire. Philip. There was a lot of hatred for Napoleon III and the Second French Empire he led. If it weren't for Napoleon III, he would have been the king of France.

"Yes. I think so too. Napoleon III, he could only bring disaster to France. China is too strong. can only be our allies. However, he turned China into our enemy. This cost us dearly. If we can overthrow the rule of Napoleon III, then we can end the war with the Chinese Empire as soon as possible! Don't forget, my niece, Charlotte, is the daughter-in-law of the Emperor of China. "Louis. Shire. A hint of smugness flashed across Philip's face.

He was very proud of his kinship with the Chinese Empire. In his opinion, this is simply a good deal. Although, the July Dynasty has already been overthrown. However, if there is the support of the Chinese Empire, then the restoration of the July Dynasty is not a problem.

Adolph. Thiers nodded, the reason why he put Louis. Shire. Philip found it, and it was very important to value their relationship with the Chinese Empire. France had already lost the war, and if it could not be forgiven by the Chinese Empire, then France would surely be destroyed. Even, the Chinese Empire would occupy French territory, dismember France, and plunder French wealth. In that case, France will go from being a first-class power to a small European country. Every Frenchman doesn't want this to happen. Will Louis. Shire. If Philip gives the throne, maybe it can be avoided for the sake of everyone's kinship.

However, neither Adolf. Thiers or Louis. Shire. Philippe, their influence is reflected in the French high society. It is unrealistic to overthrow the rule of Napoleon III on this basis, and it is necessary to have an army. And Patrice. McMahon, who had just been promoted to field marshal and commander of the garrison of Paris, was undoubtedly the best candidate. What's even more rare is that Patrice. MacMahon was not very central to Napoleon III.

"Marshal McMahon, what is your point of view?" Adolph. Thiers asked. It's needed for Patrice. McMahon took a stand.

"The current shape is indeed very bad for France. The Chinese are already threatening the French hinterland from both north and south. And our army, there is simply no way to stop the Chinese. In addition, the Prussians were also ready to move, and if France was defeated again, the Prussians would certainly invade France. This is a catastrophe for France. "Patrice. McMahon also said. As a high-ranking general, he was well aware of the current situation in France and the consequences if he continued to follow the French Empire.

Although, Patrice. McMahon was promoted to marshal by Napoleon III, but he did not have much loyalty to Napoleon III. What he values is his own interests.

"Marshal McMahon, if we can overthrow the reign of Napoleon III, then you will be the Minister of War of the new kingdom, and I will make you Duke of the kingdom. Monsieur Thiers, you will become the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the Duke of the Kingdom! "Louis. Shire. Philip began to promise. Although he was young, he knew that in order to entrap these people, he had to pay a price. Without the support of these people, he wanted to overthrow the rule of Napoleon III, which was simply impossible.

On the contrary, with the support of these people, it should not be too difficult to rebuild the Orleans dynasty with the relationship between the Orleans royal family and the Chinese Empire. After the Chinese crown prince ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he could rely on this relationship to make the Orleans dynasty achieve greater development.

Patrice. McMahon nodded, the position of Duke and Secretary of War had already made him very satisfied.

Adolph. Thiers was equally satisfied, and the Duke and Prime Minister of the Kingdom were all coveted by him. In the Second French Empire, ruled by Napoleon III, he would not have had such a chance at all.

"Then we'll go back and get ready. As soon as there is any more unfavorable news from the front, we will launch it immediately! "Adolf. There was a raging fire burning in Thiers' eyes, it was his ambition that burned.

Patrice. Marshal McMahon also did not raise objections.

And Louis. Shire. Philippe, it seems, has seen Napoleon III overthrown, and he became king of the Kingdom of France.

In early May 1855, the Imperial Army annihilated more than 200,000 French troops in Lyon. This defeat of the French army completely shredded the defense line that the French army intended to form in central France to resist the Chinese army, and the Chinese army had already entered the heart of France.

When the news reached Paris, the Parisians were so excited that they flocked to the Élysée Palace in protest against Napoleon III. Even, at the instigation of well-intentioned people, the angry Parisian people launched an attack on the guards of the Elysée Palace, injuring many of them.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man pulled out a pistol and, less than twenty meters away, opened fire on one of the guards. The guard was hit and killed instantly.

As soon as the guards were attacked, they launched a counterattack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Crisp gunshots rang out, and several Parisians fell in pools of blood.

However, this did not frighten the angry Parisian people, who were suddenly ignited with the revolutionary plot in their bones. These Parisians began to attack the guards of the Élysée Palace with stones, sticks and other weapons.

"Da Da Da!"

When the machine guns behind the sandbags began to roar, disaster was inevitable. A large number of Parisians were shot. The angry people, too, had to retreat temporarily because of the heavy casualties. However, the actions of the guards of the Élysée Palace detonated the anger of the entire Parisian population. These damned soldiers, they can't beat the Chinese, but they spread their anger on innocent civilians, which is simply unacceptable.

Those who opposed Napoleon III also took the opportunity to become active. Behind this, in addition to having Louie. Shire. In addition to Philippe and other descendants of the Orleans dynasty, there was also the assistance of intelligence officers from the countries of the Eurasian military alliance. They also want chaos in France. In this way, it will help the Asia-Europe military alliance to quickly destroy France.

On May 12, 1855, a revolution broke out in Paris, and countless Parisians took up arms against the rule of Napoleon III. (To be continued......)
