Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Monarch of the Prisoners

Fanbase, French Ministry of Internal Affairs: 372174760

I want to say which week's recommended votes can break 10,000 and add a change, but they are almost on the shelves and have not fulfilled their wishes.

The battle for Paris continued, with artillery fire and smoke igniting the increasingly icy Seine. The scorching heat burned the trees and buildings on both sides, and the flames eventually turned into prairie fires, lighting up the dim sky.

The carriage stopped at the Prussian base camp, and when the shackled men got out of the car, they were shocked by the sight in front of them. Compared with the Prussian army arrogantly aimed their butcher's knives at the defeated French army during the siege of Sedan, the current base camp seems to be filled with a sense of defeat and frustration, and the wounded Prussian soldiers are helping their comrades out of the tent, their eyes are gloomy, and there is no hope. The mud mixed with blood formed a small stream that flowed slowly past him.

The carriage pulled a pile of corpses and drove slowly away from the barracks, its silhouette stained with blood, silently announcing the tragedy of the battle to the others.

From morning to evening, the roar of Prussian artillery did not stop, nor did the wounded sent down from the front.

This battle seems to be described as tragic.

The man in shackles shook his head, no matter how wonderful the siege battle was, it had nothing to do with him.

And Chancellor Bismarck was standing at the door of the marquee, waiting for his arrival. The other party's face was also colorless, and when the pride and arrogance after the battle, there was a worry between his eyebrows, just like the look on the face of the soldier he had seen before entering the base camp.

When Bismarck saw Napoleon III approaching him, his brow eased a little, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

"Your Excellency Louis."

Even if the opponent was defeated, Bismarck still behaved very politely, personally unhandcuffed the opponent for him, and invited him into the tent.

Bismarck said, "I've worked hard for you along the way." ”

However, Louis Bonaparte did not appreciate it, he was no longer the high-ranking Napoleon III, he also knew that he could no longer return to France, and his attitude towards Bismarck had become lukewarm.

"I'm afraid that Chancellor Bismarck invited me here, is it a request? Otherwise, I should have stayed in Berlin a long time ago, under house arrest, guarded 24 hours a day. For an emperor who has lost any power, it is really flattering to arrange such a grand occasion. Is Paris not fighting well and need to find someone to persuade you to surrender? Sorry, it's not the Second French Empire anymore. ”

"You misunderstood, our attack is going very well and will soon encircle the entire city."

Bismarck ignored the cynicism of the other party, but calmly asked him questions.

"What I want to ask is, are there any other influential people in the Bonaparte family besides you?"

"Who else?"

Louis Bonaparte sneered and said, "Who do you think is there now?" The descendants of King Joseph Bonaparte of Naples and Sicily are now in the United States, JΓ©rΓ΄me Bonaparte, the only French marshal, died in 1860, and almost all of the influential fathers of the Bonaparte family have died except me. If even I can't support the overall situation of France, then the influence of the remaining members of the Bonaparte family will not change this battle at all! That's a redundant question. ”

After listening to Louis's answer, Bismarck's face became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "What about the marshal of the Second Empire?" Who else has influence. ”

Louis counted the names that could be recalled in his mind, and finally shook his head and said, "With the exception of McMahon, who surrendered, the influential marshals are now besieged by your army in the fortress of Metz. Who else can preside over the overall situation in France, that is, those villains who sneaked up behind the scenes, took advantage of the defeat of France to overthrow my empire. ”

Speaking of what the republicans were doing, Louis Bonaparte clenched his fists angrily and added, "A bunch of ungrateful villains." ”

Bismarck did not speak, and the identity of "Napoleon" seemed to be confused, originally he thought that the other party was an influential member of the Napoleonic family to use the political situation to build a momentum for himself, but now it seems that the interior of Paris is far more complicated than he imagined.

He could easily break up the royalist rebellion, and gather all the forces in Paris in the name of Napoleon, but he became more and more difficult to see the identity of the initiator behind it.

"This could not have been without the people of the Bonapartes!"

Bismarck frowned.

Louis asked rhetorically, "How is it impossible?" ”

Bismarck explained, "In Paris, a Napoleon appeared. ”

Louis Bonaparte sneered and said, "Napoleon? When pigs fly. The influential figure of the Bonapartist faction, apart from my wife, could not find a second. ”

As for the Bonapartists, no political strongman could not fight the old foxes of the Republican Party, not to mention the Orleans and the Loyalists, plus Blanqui, Proudhon and the Jacobins, none of which were fuel-efficient lamps for political forces.

"In fact, the present historical government calls itself the Third Reich, with Trochu as governor-general. But there is obviously a behind-the-scenes promoter behind the scenes, who will create rumors among the people that Napoleon led the people of Paris. Now I just want to know, who the hell is this person? ”

"It's a lie, and even I can see the flaws, and the wise Chancellor Bismarck can't see it?"

Bismarck would never believe this flawed lie, but I don't know why the people of Paris seemed to be enchanted and believed that Napoleon Bonaparte would lead them to victory.

After listening to Bismarck's words, Louis Bonaparte was unimpressed. I thought that I was specially sent to the front line to witness the glory of Prussia when it captured Paris, but I didn't expect that the German army, which was known as the strongest in Europe, was actually bound by a small rumor.

He even felt that the Prussian army had won by luck, not by strength. Louis Bonaparte explained with a sneer, "This is nothing more than a republican trick to deliberately make up a lie to stabilize the morale of the army and at the same time motivate the army to hold Paris." If he wins, he will promote the bravery of the imaginary Napoleon. If they lose, they preach that the French army is desperately resisting, although it is still glorious in defeat. In any case, this lie could be maintained until the Prussian army broke through the gates of Paris. ”

Finally, Louis Bonaparte did not say, "As for Napoleon leading them to victory?" Don't dream, it's good that the republican rubbish aren't busy surrendering, want to win? Unless my uncle Napoleon Bonaparte crawled out of the coffin! ”
