The first update

Napoleon's speech added a glimmer of light to France's gloomy future.

The government slogan of "swear to the death, swear not to surrender" is like a sharp sword, cutting off the back road of the surrender faction. Whoever dares to propose peace talks with the invaders is the enemy of the French people. Under such circumstances, no one dared to propose surrender to Prussia, for fear that one day they would be assassinated in front of their homes by an angry Parisian mob.

Napoleon wanted everyone to know that this was the Third French Empire, not the Qing Dynasty, which ceded land and sued for peace.

Both royalist and republican opinion propaganda newspapers spoke highly of Napoleon's impassioned speeches. Even the MP Hugo, who had just returned to Paris from his political 1 refuge in Brussels, expressed his high appreciation for Napoleon's patriotic speeches.

"If you are not willing to fight for your country, at least you are willing to die for France."

This sentence inspired all the young people of Paris to join the army, and the number of people who signed up for the army increased dramatically for a while.

With the help of other main war factions, the identity of the savior of France was cleverly spread, and the people of Paris no longer cared whether this man was a thief or not, but at least they believed that there was a savior who stood up to stabilize the chaotic situation in Paris, and even the leader of Bonaparte, the regent Eugénie, expressed his willingness to support Napoleon and the republican form of government.

By the time she put Napoleon ahead of the republic, Favre and his party already felt that something was not right. The republicans, who were supposed to take over Paris, were vaguely isolated by various forces.

Napoleon surprised or surprised every faction in Paris.

For example, Trochu, who followed the longest.

Although some of the things in Napoleon's manual are contrary to the tradition of glory and valor of the French army, despite these unrealistic factors, the explanations in it are still very instructive to Trochu, especially the chapter on the guidelines for urban warfare, including the excavation of tunnels, the construction of ambushes, and the setting of fire cover in the streets and alleys of Paris, which is completely unscrupulous to drag down an enemy ten times his size.

Nor did Napoleon tell Trochu that the contents of the manual were derived from a guideline called On Protracted War.

Bismarck, the iron-blooded prime minister, wanted to occupy Paris and proclaim a great Prussian victory, and Napoleon preferred to fight in the ruins rather than let his plot succeed.

With little time left for France, Trochu reconvened an impromptu meeting at his suggestion. The meeting was no longer limited to the Cabinet, and any faction with influence over Paris was invited. Among them was Hugo, who was a member of parliament of the July Dynasty and the founder of the Second French Republic.

The first extraordinary parliament of the Third Reich was held at the Palais de Popang, and members of parliament came to the Palais Bourbon from all over Paris. Others are curious to see what the savior of France is capable of.

The conference room was not too big, and it was filled with more than sixty people one after another, representing the various factions in the city of Paris, and to be able to twist them into a rope requires not only centripetal force, but also political means.

Everyone was looking forward to his next opinion, and the frenzy of the people of Paris had already been stirred up by Napoleon's careful planning.

Last night, the Opéra de France sang the "La Marseillaise" for the second time after Napoleon III's invasion of Prussia.

This time they did not teach the arrogant Prussia a lesson, but to defend their homeland.

Hugo attended the meeting for the first time, and he sat quietly to the right of Speaker Schneider, listening to Napoleon's views. To tell the truth, everyone thought that it was impossible for France to win the war, after all, Prussia's strength was obvious to all. But because of Napoleon's face, they had a hint of luck in their hearts.

Maybe the French army wasn't as bad as it thought?

But they far underestimated the surprises that Napoleon brought to the country.

He is today

"Excellencies, I am very pleased that you are here at this meeting. Sitting here today, I want you to make one thing clear first, that I am not teaching you the tactics of victory, but I am urging you to forget the idea that the French can win the war. ”

Schneider looked dazed, he raised his hand and asked, "You are not the heroic ...... of the French army"

"If bravery alone can win a war, then why do you need a commander?"

Napoleon pointed at him and said, "I must make everyone aware of the gravity of the matter, that it is impossible for France to defeat the Prussian army in any strategic and tactical way." ”

The faces of the others showed indignant expressions, and only Hugo raised his hand and asked lightly, "Then I wonder what is the difference between the French army and Prussia in addition to numbers?" ”

"Good question, Councillor Hugo."

Napoleon got up from his chair and began to expound his point.

"If you don't believe me, you can start with an example, such as the Crimean War. As Pellisier put it, the retreat was carried out quite decently. In a way, the victory you are proud of is a contest of who is worse than the other. While we make fun of Russia's backwardness, let's not forget that the French army used explosive bombs as signal flares, and the attack was repulsed at an inconsistent pace; There were no tents to live in before the Battle of the Olma, and cholera began to spread from the British army to the French army. As a result, the second commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French forces, our dear Marshal Saint-Arnold, fell ill and died. If these enthusiastic idiots were expected to win the battle against Prussia, Bismarck should apologize with death, and Prussia should simply dissolve itself without establishing a state. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

It had just incited the whole country to resist the Prussian invasion, but at this time it had denied the strength of the French army here.

They couldn't figure out what the madman was thinking.

"The whole operation ended as it should have ended, in full accord with what I said during the First Empire about the life-long activities of those indecisive and incompetent generals, and the order changed and there was chaos."

He showed no mercy to Napoleon III because he was his nephew. His hatred of Louis Bonaparte was far greater than the republicans' anger at the monarchy.

"It is a historical irony that the restored Second Reich, no matter how hard it tried to imitate my prototype, had to do the opposite thing everywhere. When I crushed the anti-French alliance, I struck at the heart of the nations with whom he fought; Today, France is attacking a remote corner of Russia. Hope rests not on large-scale military operations, but on successful surprises, surprise attacks, and adventures. France is a bunch of fools from the top, can you expect fools to win the war? Dream on. ”

The whole difference between the First and Second Reichs and their representatives lies in this strategy. He himself was accustomed to enter the capitals of modern Europe as a victor. His nephews, under various pretexts—to protect the Pope, to protect the Sultan, to protect the Greek king—stationed the French garrison in the capitals of ancient Europe: Rome, Constantinople, and Athens; The result did not strengthen the prestige in the slightest, but dispersed the forces.

Napoleon took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself out of his impassioned state.

"Well, the examples are gone. When you understand how bad the French army is, you will understand how ridiculous it is for a lion with a pack of sheep to defeat a pack of wolves. ”

The republicans' faces became very complicated, they could not understand Napoleon's inner thoughts, and did not dare to interject casually.

"Can France win Prussia? I can tell you unequivocally, no way. ”

Everyone's hearts sank, and a depressed thought came out.

"But will France lose?"

Napoleon seemed to see through their thoughts, and suddenly there was a twist, he paused slightly, looked at the puzzled eyes of the surrounding parliamentarians, and continued, "France is not likely to lose either." ”
