Chapter 90 For the sake of the republic

This week's recommendation votes have exceeded 10,000, and one more will be added tomorrow.

Last night, I finished the code to celebrate the strings, but today I got up and vomited and diarrhea, and went to the hospital to check out gastroenteritis.

Bismarck found nothing in the mouth of Louis Bonaparte, and he could not even detect which talented military statesman the man named Napoleon was. He asked if Louis Bonaparte might be the plot of Trochu, the interim president, but he was given a mocking reply.

"Trochu is nothing more than a decent coward, and gathering public opinion in the name of Napoleon is like walking a tightrope, which requires great courage and cool judgment, and of course he cannot do this, and even Trochu is only a pawn in someone's hands. It seems that there was an unseen 'Joan of Arc' in Paris, waiting for the Prussian army. ”

In desperation, Bismarck could only be temporarily imprisoned in the base camp of Louis Bonaparte, and when the war was over, he still needed to witness the conquest of Paris, pass under the Arc de Triomphe, and be crowned king at the Palace of Versailles.

Louis Bonaparte, however, confirmed his disdainful reply, "Don't talk too much, there is still time in this battle." Have you found that when you arrive in Paris, you are holding back? The advantage gained in the previous campaign is slowly losing out, and the balance of victory is regaining its balance. In the name of Napoleon's justice, the French are constantly adding chips to the scales. ”

Chancellor Bismarck, distraught and not having time to listen to Louis Bonaparte's nonsense, waved his hand at the guards outside the door and said, "Take our guests out of here." ”

Louis was dragged out by his arms, but his mouth did not stop, and he continued to mutter, "In the name of the Empire, Paris has not lost the war, long live France." ”

Although Louis Bonaparte was taken out, the phrase "Long live France" still echoed in Bismarck's heart and became a so-called nightmare. He felt more and more that the battle should be ended as soon as possible, and although the French army had lost its elite, they were facing stronger resistance than they faced the French elite soldiers.

Bismarck propped up the table and muttered to himself, "Why can't we take a city of Paris when we have already crushed the elite troops of the whole of France?" ”

Bidenfeldt, who was behind Bismarck, saw everything in his eyes and whispered, "Perhaps we have encountered a flock of sheep led by a lion." Prime Minister Bismarck, the most urgent task now is to take Paris, the Second Army should not continue to attack Saint-Quentin, we need to take Paris quickly and force the French to surrender. ”

Bismarck sighed, and finally agreed with Bidenfeldt's idea.

"With a new battle plan, we need to encircle Paris and cut them off from the southern army."

"Southern Army?"

Bidenfeldt was a little confused, "Aren't they the last of the Parisian defenders left?" ”

"If the current leader of Paris were not stupid, he would have tried to recruit troops in the south and build up an army in the shortest possible time. Although we have routed the active forces in Paris, let's not forget that they still have reserves and a large number of people. Think about how many people will be incited against the Prussian army under the slogan of the demise of France, and how many will join them? ”

Prussia, who was in charge of the attack, paid far more than the French who acted as the defensive, and Bismarck suffered in the battle of Paris, and the overwhelming artillery fire and cavalry superiority that had previously been overwhelming in the field battle was lost.

"A huge herd of cannon fodder, comparable to Slavic gray cattle."

"There is no need to attack, as long as they hold on to Paris, it is equivalent to victory."

Bismarck was joined by Napoleon, who knew that holding France would be a victory, but that there were more crucial things to do, concerning his future position in the Third Reich.

Without this war, the authority of that group of capitalists will be restricted, and France will still belong to the capitalists in the future. Napoleon had to compete for power with the capitalists in the meeting.

As long as Paris is not completely in chaos, the Banque de France will have to think long-term. The royalists could be killed, but Napoleon could not kill all the capitalists of the upper class, they formed a strong and stable force in Paris, and in the event of a conflict, Trosch first considered the capitalists who were the majority of the republican form of government, not himself. Napoleon's power was partly due to his own prestige, and more to the elected governor of Trochu.

If Trochu announced that he would no longer support Napoleon, he would not even be able to pay the salaries of the national gendarmerie.

There had to be a valid reason for the disappearance of the financial family of Gault Bank from Paris. When he was able to call the power empty, he confidently announced that he would take over the entire bank.

The shelling of Prussia did not make him wait long. Guerome, an old friend who lived in the most disturbed rumors and fears, finally came to the door.

Napoleon had just the right grasp that the financial capitalists were more afraid of death and life-sparing than anyone else.

He wanted to negotiate with Napoleon.

Guerome, who was already in his last years, had lost the energy of his youth and haggled with a man in his thirties sitting across from him. He used the experience of a businessman more often to propose his own transactions.

"I didn't expect you to come."

He smiled pretending to be lighthearted, "It's the most difficult time in Paris, and you can see that the Prussian artillery is aiming at the city, trying to blow it up to the ground. ”

The other party did not pay attention to the topic of Napoleon, but said to himself, "We can't stay in Paris now, we must withdraw as soon as possible, this city may fall at any time." I need the Provisional Government to organize a contingent to cover the escape of the rich capitalists. After all, we're the ones behind you. ”

Napoleon repeated the words of the other party.

"You mean to let the French defenders pull out an army to cover your evacuation to the Loire? And to make sure you're safe? ”

Guerom no longer cares about the rhetoric that he swears to the death, and in the face of the terrible reality, he chooses to abandon the car to protect the commander.

Life is gone, nothing is gone.

"I still have some understanding of the situation in Paris, although Prussia carried out a heavy artillery attack, but the direction of Versailles is not surrounded, if a force is sent to stand out at this time, it will be able to cover our withdrawal."

His Excellency Guerome coughed a few times, clenched the cane in his hand, and said calmly, "I don't care if Paris can hold it, but my life must be saved!" For the sake of the republic, do me a favor, Lord Napoleon. ”
