Napoleon did not face the angry crowd alone, he prepared a way out for himself.

The soldiers who were ambushed in the buildings near the Place de la Concorde poked their rifles out of the windows and aimed them at the surging revolutionary crowd, silently waiting for the order to shoot. The Spencer rifle was loaded, and the French army was specially equipped with a rifle of fire to deal with a possible riot in the crowd.

They had agreed on a code, and the second shot was fired at the people of the Place de la Concorde.

Because when the second shot rang out, it meant that Napoleon could no longer control the scene.

He had Trochu deploy an army nearby to protect the safety of the Palais Bourbon, suppress the republican procession, and pin them on all charges of rebellion, uniting the Blanquists to suppress the republican forces of Gambita and Favre.

Even if the Third Republic was established, he would not let the capitalists ride on his head and dictate.

On the grand columns of the Palais Bourbon, Napoleon suppressed the marching revolutionary procession.

It doesn't matter who Napoleon was before, what matters is that the people of Paris on the Place de la Concorde believe that the man standing in front of them can save the people of this country from suffering. Subtly, he is regarded as a war myth in France. The people have struggled for too long and need a beacon of spiritual support to lead the people forward.

"So I'm glad that on the first day I came out of Les Invalides, I saw the angry French people, and the thirst for revenge that flowed in you, and it would be better if we could see you in the army in the future, so that we could teach those Prussian fools how to fight!"

The crowd at the foot of the stairs was in an uproar, and everyone else was vying for power in Paris, except for the first man who shouted for a bloody war with Prussia.

The Blanquists also shouted such slogans, but they did not receive a response from the government, and the cowardly top brass considered the Prussian army of 500,000 to be unstoppable, and the fall of Paris was justified.

And the people's longing for demands was echoed in a moment.

Naturally, he also let down his guard and vigilance in his heart.

"They think that we have no power to fight back if we can fight, so we surrender. They think we're going to give in and back down! But we want to show them that the French army will never bow to anyone! ”

The dazzling light pierced through the thick clouds and sprinkled the people of the Place de la Concorde, the pillars of light illuminating the gloomy Bourbon colonnade columns, bathing the figure of Napoleon in the light, the war insignia on his chest shimmering with dazzling white light.

The angular side face polished by the light is in the eyes of the French people as the myth of undefeated war.

"Compromise and submission will not make the enemy take a step back, we must show them the strength of France!"

Napoleon raised his head and calmly uttered a sentence that made the entire Place de la Concorde buzz.

"France, swear not to surrender!"

After a moment of silence, the same slogans erupted in the square.

"France will not surrender!"

Napoleon's hand pointed at Simon, the leader of the republicans, and said angrily, "As for you republican thieves, the state will not forgive you, and the people will not forgive you, but I will not execute you here, because you will be judged by the people and the law." ”

"Citizens of Paris, wait quietly in the town hall for the result, and the legislature will finally give you all a satisfactory ending."

The people in the square didn't notice that the rifle that had been sticking out of the window was put back, and the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and pressed down the rifle that his comrades were still holding up.

"Calm down, young man, the Palace of Bourbon will be fine."

He squinted at the surging crowd in the square, lit the match and lit the cigarette in his hand, and said earnestly, "The Republicans have met a difficult opponent this time. I thought it was a stand-in that General Trochu randomly found, but I didn't expect that he was really alone in forcing back the rioting citizens of Paris. ”

The soldier who put down his gun turned his head, looked at the commander beside him, and asked curiously, "Who is he?" ”

Smoke filled in front of the officer, and his calm eyes were fixed on the short man in the square, his mouth moved, and finally only one name was pronounced.

"Emperor Napoleon."

The citizens of Place de la Concorde have dispersed one after another, and some people are still waiting for the Legislative Council to announce the results. Simon had wanted to unite the others to continue pressuring the Orleanists, but after the conspiracy was broken, the Blanquee Workers' Party had become distrustful of them and rejected their request for cooperation.

Napoleon's means of sowing discord had already achieved its goal, and soldiers armed with rifles appeared at the gates of the Palais Bourbon to impose martial law, and he only needed an hour to come up with an answer that would satisfy the revolutionary people.

Trochu stood in the shadows of the corridors, and only after the people of Paris had dispersed from the square did his nerves slowly relax.

Cold sweat had already flowed down his cheeks, and from the beginning to the end, it was as if witnessing a miracle happening.

The Doge of Paris, standing in the corridor, finally realized that the man who had terrified the monarchs of all Europe had finally returned.

But he had a question in his mind, could Napoleon really save the current chaotic situation in Paris?

"Your Majesty Napoleon, I have a question."

Trochu followed him, hesitating. He was puzzled by what Napoleon had done, and incited the Parisian people to use their arms as chariots to stop Bismarck's iron hooves, and even he did not dare to guarantee that Paris would hold on to the war.

"Why not surrender directly to the Prussian army? After annihilating the main force of our army in Sedan, the Prussian army began to march towards Paris in two directions. If we surrender, at least France will be able to keep Paris from being caught in the flames of war, and we ...... It seems that it was no longer possible to resist the Prussian invasion. ”

The voice echoed through the corridors of the Palais Bourbon, sharp as a thorn piercing Trox's chest.

Napoleon stopped and looked at each other, his expression grim as an ice sculpture.

He spoke, his voice as cold as his eyes, his eyes that could read through people's hearts, evoking the fear buried in his heart. Cold sweat soaked his back.

"With 50,000 men left in the Serdan's breakout corps to retreat to Paris, 120,000 garrisons transferred from other provinces to Paris, and with the temporary National Guard, we can muster at least 210,000 French troops. Bismarck's strategic goal was to take the capital and make France bow their noble heads to the Germanic barbarians, so they would desperately attack the city, do you think our forces will not be able to hold the city? Oh yes, remember to squeeze the royalist forces out of the main army, it's better to send them to death as cannon fodder, we don't need guys who drag their feet at critical moments. Remember, as long as the military power is in our hands, Paris will not be in chaos, and the Count of Balibridge, Eugénie, and my nephew Louis will not lose to the people, but to mercy to the enemy. ”

Trochu knew that he had said the wrong thing, and subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to refute the other party.

Napoleon stared in the direction of the conference room, where the fierce brawl continued. He never expected them to ease the immediate needs of Paris, but the Bonaparte government could no longer maintain its rule over France, and even if the Wehrmacht was established to expand the armed mob of the Wehrmacht to 300,000, it would be difficult to withstand the Prussian attack.

He felt the relief in the corridor and walked gently in the direction of the conference room.

His dictionary has only defeat, not surrender.

"As I said, France will not surrender!"

"Never surrender."
