The sword under the Arc de Triomphe.

Originally referring to the French National Gendarmerie, Napoleon borrowed their name and temporarily set it up on the model of the Ministry of the Interior's army, which was used as a weapon against the dictatorship of the Bourbon aristocracy during the Franco-Prussian War. The ghost of the Bourbon Restoration has haunted the kingdom of France for nearly half a century, and they have not given up their ambition to restore the fleur-de-lis banner. However, in the repeated struggles, each revolution pushed the country to a republican form of government, and the last Bourbon orthodox Henry V had no heirs, and the Franco-Prussian War became the last madness of the Conservative Party.

The situation is even more tricky than expected.

Napoleon, however, did not care about the counterattack of the French aristocracy.

He looked at the documents on Trox's desk, picked up one of them at random, and said slowly, "France has its own national conditions here. Let's not forget that during the Reign of Terror, there were far more Bourbon aristocratic traitors guillotined by the Committee of Public Security and the Revolutionary Tribunal than we were prepared to suppress. What a republic needs is a savior who can turn the tide, not a bunch of royalist villains with a plot of intrigue. The national gendarmerie must be formed to be loyal to the highest leader and be able to clear the ground as soon as riots break out in Paris. ”

Again, he emphasized, "It's a real clearance, I don't need to see the living Bourbon remnants." ”

Napoleon disdained the opinion of others, they were just lambs in the fight of the trapped beasts. France is powerless in the dictatorship of the people? During the Great Revolution, the National Committee sent the nobles directly to the guillotine with a simple trial and conviction, so that the procedural process was omitted and the procedural process was omitted, and there was no chance of appeal.

Moreover, the defeat of the Jacobins was not a political terror of defeat as history proclaimed, but an economic push of the capitalists to the conservative forces, and in the midst of political infighting, the Convention also fell to the royalists.

Bloody? The people would not mind getting rid of the thousands of old nobles who had oppressed and exploited them for hundreds of years.

Anyway, after the defeat of the Paris Commune, even Dzerzhinsky was ashamed of the means by which MacMahon led his troops to suppress and massacre the citizens of Paris.

In 1885, French President François Grevy signed the Expulsion Act, expelling all royal relatives from the French Crown and completely cutting off the hotbed of the Conservative Restoration.

In troubled times, Napoleon has always calmly examined the chaos in France with a clear attitude of a bystander.

"I don't know if the Count of Chambol realized what he was doing, but I think when Bismarck got to Friel, the old fox in exile would have bared its tail."

Trochu paced his office irritably, "We can't expel the Prussian army?" They had already set out from Crey to Saint-Denis, and the army had not been able to stop their advance. ”

"It is a blessing in misfortune to be able to hold back the Prussian army under the city of Paris, Governor Trochu, how many troops do we have now? Apart from the 200,000 troops stationed near Paris and the garrison of the city, there was no manpower left. If you're going to bet 200,000 yuan, fight Prussia to the death. I can only tell you that the ending is no different from the surrender of Sedan of Napoleon III. ”

Napoleon said lightly, "The legions held the fortress, dispersed the Prussian army, and eased the pressure of the siege of Paris as much as possible, and we sat here and waited for Bismarck's arrival." ”

Trochu sat in silence in his chair, pondered Napoleon's words carefully, and then said slowly, "With all due respect, Your Excellency Napoleon, why are you not nervous at all?" ”

"Nervous? Why should I be nervous. ”

Napoleon's reply was breezy, and the Franco-Prussian War was just a slightly trickier Hardmode start for him.

He has the support of the army and the people, the mouthpiece of public opinion is in his hands, and those who do not have the courage to rebel are either co-opted or suppressed, and the conspirators who want to make small moves behind their backs have not yet realized that they are hanging half of their feet on the gallows.

"The Battle of Paris will definitely start, we have hoarded food in the city for more than two years to deal with the long-term campaign, once the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, Prussia's morale will be broken, Prussia, which originally planned to fight a quick battle, will hastily change its battle plan, and have to maintain a large number of military forces on French soil, then the problem comes."

"Will Britain and Austria turn a blind eye to an empty Germany?"

Faced with a table of urgent telegrams from the front, Trochu was helpless. After listening to Napoleon's explanation, he hesitated and asked, "You are betting the future of our country on the British?" ”

The man opposite shook his head, looking indifferent and calm under the bright lights.

"No, the future of France is in the hands of the people,. As I said, Prussia could not be as strong as ever, and Bismarck was in a hurry, they were not prepared for a long and hard war. What France lacks is nothing more than a leader, a leader who will lead them out of their predicament, not the royalists who try to restore it, nor the Bonapartists whose old glory is gone, but me, the history of France will remember a name called Napoleon. ”

Bearing in mind the former glory of the declining European powers, Napoleon said briefly and forcefully, "That's why I'm here." ”

Over the next few days, Napoleon began to work on his own plans. Beginning to expand his program by drawing on some of the soldiers who had lived through the early battles of the Franco-Prussian War, the National Gendarmerie was more about maintaining internal stability – more about maintaining the stability of Napoleon's Provisional Government, so that the soldiers selected had to be civilians in the background, so that even if the royalist forces tried to infiltrate, they would not be able to do so.

At the same time, Napoleon's enemies did not stop their despicable methods, and the Count of Chambord, who was in exile, received a telegram from Paris, but the contents of the Count were embarrassed.

Originally, the messing up of the Paris speech was only the beginning, but after Napoleon directly executed a few troublemakers at the Paris Opera, the others were too frightened to act rashly.

Chambol did not want Paris to be so "calm", this is the usual trick and method of the royalists, and the blow of the coup d'état gave the royalists a great inspiration, if the goal of controlling France cannot be achieved through riots and parliament, then the only thing they can do is to rely on foreign political forces.

"What the hell is this guy named Napoleon?"

The ministers who followed Bourbon were silent, and no one could give him an answer.

Who is this person who appeared out of thin air, what is his origin, and why did all the clues that the royalists could find out be cut off at Les Invalides?

Countless clues are intertwined to give the last Bourbon heir a headache.

Count Chambord held his forehead and said helplessly, "It seems that I have no other choice but to cooperate with Bismarck." ”

The minister in the audience said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this will offend the nerves of the people of Paris. ”

Chambord looked at him, knew that he could not wait any longer, and said in a deep voice, "It is better than to be against such an unknown monster, let Bismarck and his Prussian army clear the way to the coronation of the royalists, and then we will agree to all the conditions they have proposed." ”
