Asked for a recommendation ticket, and when I saw that the recommendation ticket couldn't get up, I was a little distraught.

The content of the treaty that Bismarck privately drafted with the royalists was the earliest prototype of the Frankfurt Treaty.

The terms included the cession of most of the French province of Alsace and the Moselle province of Lorraine to Germany. France was required to pay five billion francs as compensation for Germany's losses in the war; recognition of King Wilhelm I as Emperor of the German Empire; Before France could repay all the reparations, the territory had to be occupied by the Germans. With regard to the right of the Germans to use the navigable waterways of Alsace-Lorraine, France was obliged to comply with the Prussian regulations; Trade between the two countries was limited to Berlin, and prisoners of war from both sides were released.

Thiers finally knew what it meant to be a humiliating agreement. Any Frenchman who sees this humiliating agreement that undermines sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot contain the anger in his heart.

It was only after the Count of Chambord agreed to this agreement that Prussia agreed to help the royalists impose martial law on Paris and suppress a possible revolt among the lower ranks. Five billion reparations is not a small amount for the current French government, but in Bismarck's eyes, the war is worth it.

"This treaty is nothing short of ......"

Even if Thiers was angry, he could only choose to swallow his anger, and Chambol and Louis did not hesitate to offend the whole country in order to use the power of Prussia to overthrow the current regime in Paris.

"This is Prussia's offer, and whether you agree or not will not affect our capture of Paris."

Bismarck began to play a psychological offensive with Thiers, "except that if we choose to support the royalists, the French government headed by the Comte de Chambord will pay this debt." If we choose to ignore it, then it will be a government of republicans or others to pay the debt, and Prussia will be the winner anyway. ”

Prussia, relying on its own strength, had the audacity to blackmail the royalists.

The truth existed only within the range of the Krupp cannon, and the fact that the Prussian army was drenched in blood taught France a lesson.

Thiers finally couldn't help it, and he said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that France will take revenge on Prussia?" ”

"It's up to you?"

Bismarck said disdainfully, "You think that by concocting the myth of Napoleon's resurrection, France will be saved?" Seeing the situation clearly, the Prussian army has begun to surround the city of Paris, could it be that a Napoleon in France can turn the tide of the situation? ”

Bismarck tapped lightly on the table, and the Prussian heavy artillery that tested the calibrated range let out a terrifying roar that was deafening. Even the ground trembled slightly.

This was a side attack on Thiers, who was blocked to the point where he had nothing to say.

"I need the personal approval of Count Chambord to take this treaty back. If you are sure to cooperate with Prussia, when you start a riot in Paris, it will be when we attack Paris. Also, who is the president and commander-in-chief of the army in the current Provisional Government in Paris? ”

Thiers replied truthfully, "It's General Trochu." ”

When Bismarck captured Napoleon III, he made humiliating remarks about the "heir to the myth of war".

"You are far worse than your uncle, Prussia's opponent is not your group of half-incompetent goods, the army of the Second Reich is not even qualified to carry my shoes, I want the real Napoleon!"

Now he also said proudly, "Then please tell General Trochu that although I don't know which clown is impersonating Napoleon, the Prussian army will personally crush the will of the French legions to fight, and it will also crush the myth of Napoleon's invincibility." ”

Germany hated the name Napoleon, and in the First Reich, he led an army that crushed Germany's hopes of rising to the core, like a European nightmare, imprinted in the imprint of feuds.

There's nothing more rewarding than conquering a one-time sworn enemy.

Thiers paused as he turned to leave, he turned to face Bismarck, and said calmly, "General Bismarck, there are no clowns in Paris, only His Majesty Napoleon. ”

While the Prussian stronghold was still arguing, Napoleon had already begun to prepare to alleviate the crisis in Paris, and more than half a month earlier, when Napoleon had just left Les Invalides, he had given an order in accordance with the Emperor's instructions. It is stipulated that every province that has not yet fallen must organize and arm a brigade of the National Guard, with officers below the battalion level elected by soldiers, senior officers appointed directly by the Minister of War, and military salaries to be paid by the provinces.

This decree was originally carried out by Gambita, and if it went well, they were able to raise eleven armies of 600,000 men before the Prussian army completely encircled Paris.

Arsenals of small arms were also set up in Lyon, Lille and Saint-Ota for the production of Chasebo rifles.

According to the original historical trajectory, the Rhine legion besieged in the fortress of Metz was surrendered by Bazin, which led the Second Army led by Frederick Karl to drive straight into the city of Orleans. Now the Second Army was dragged to the Metz fortress, which instead created an opportunity for Napoleon to alleviate the crisis in Paris.

For the French army, which was fighting on its own soil, the whole country and the people were ready to die.

Napoleon put down the pen in his hand and looked up at the sky in the distance.

The roar of Krupp's cannon could be faintly heard, constantly echoing. He knew that the shells had only landed on the outskirts, but they were a sign of an attack on the first line of defense on the outskirts of Paris.

"It doesn't seem like this is an encouraging peace talk."

Although he did not have much confidence in Thiers's negotiations, Trochu still said worriedly, "The Battle of Paris has officially begun, and Prussia has taken the city, which means that we have lost the war." ”

"I didn't expect Thiers to have a good ending, maybe Chambol and Louis supported him in his back, and I saw through the royalists' tricks from the moment he first petitioned to go to the Prussian stronghold. In 1815, after I was defeated at Waterloo and announced my abdication, didn't Louis XVIII return to Paris on July 8 to restore the Bourbon dynasty under the escort of the Anglo-Prussian army? ”

Although it was not completely formed, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Army Group South still divided into two lines and advanced towards Paris to alleviate the crisis in Paris, which was about to be surrounded by Prussian troops.

As long as the Prussian Second Army got bogged down in the mud of the Battle of Metz, Napoleon had a chance to turn the tables.

Army Group South plus the strength of the regular Parisian army deployed in Paris with more than 100,000 troops was enough to start a "tug-of-war" or "meat grinder".

It's just that before the war starts, the sewer rats that are hiding in the makeshift interior must be cleared.

Napoleon narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Didn't Bismarck want to conquer France?" ”

"Then I'll let them lose again."
