The fighting in Paris was bloody and brutal, and most of the barricades were destroyed in the first round of attacks.

At this time, the French side urgently needed a victory to prove their worth, and for this they could be said to have done everything they could.

Not only the most elite troops were used, but also a large number of new weapons that had not yet been put into the battlefield.

However, this was only the beginning, as Bilfo resigned and went into exile in England, leaving the government of the French Second Republic in chaos.

Ridley Lorraine felt his time had come, and he publicly stated that he was the best person to take over as interim president, and he mobilized members of the Mountain Party to want to take over the government.

Naturally, this aroused opposition from other parties, and the National Assembly Hall once again staged an all-military parade.

At this moment of internal and external troubles, Kafenyak's subordinates could not sit still, and they advised the "hero" who had just suppressed the Paris uprising to be promoted to the position of "protector".

In fact, the military has long been dissatisfied with those politicians, and they feel that France's predicament at this time is entirely caused by the politicians' arbitrary command.

In addition, since the status of the military has been declining since the Napoleonic Wars, and they want to change this situation, then the establishment of a military government will undoubtedly be the best option.

Kafenjak had neither a glorified resume, nor enough prestige to intimidate the army, nor even a talent for commanding battles.

It is not a wise move to choose to divide the troops and advance lightly at the first time.

But Kafenjak was a staunch republican, and he did not accept the position of Lord Protector, nor did he allow Ledre-Lorraine to usurp the position of interim president.

Kafenjac led his troops to stop the farce of the Montagnards, and most of the people in parliament had been waiting for a strongman to appear and lead France out of its predicament.

The appearance of Kafenjak gave hope to the men, and some people approached Lamartine in the hope that he would persuade Kafenjak.

However, it was firmly opposed by Lamartine

"You shameless people, you are destroying the Republic! I will never let people destroy the republic! Never!"

But things soon overgrew Lamartine's control, with councillors proposing to declare martial law, enter an emergency, and delegate all powers to General Kafenjak.

Although many Republican bigwigs expressed clear opposition, the final vote was a shocking one, with less than 60 votes against the nearly 600-member parliament.

By this time, Kafenjak had effectively gained the equivalent of the power of the protector, and he immediately mobilized all the troops around Paris to carry out a general cleaning of Paris.

Place de la Concorde, Paris.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the light rain made people feel chilly.

The soldiers stood neatly in the square, waiting for instructions from the Supreme Commander of the Second French Republic.

The square was very quiet, because the soldiers from the provinces knew that France had reached a moment of crisis.

The successive defeats have brought the foreign enemy to France's doorstep, and at this time Paris is in chaos again, which is a disaster for France.

Kafenjak walked up the platform in silence, and the sound of heavy wheezing and boots falling to the ground could be heard in the pouring rain. …。。

The soldiers looked up at the high platform ahead, and Kafenjak took a deep breath.

"France has reached the most critical moment! I don't need to say more, you should all understand what that means.

Now I would say that nothing can be consolidated without suffering and sacrifice. The cowards and moths who hide behind the barricades are no longer our people!"

Kafenjak raised his left hand and shouted loudly.

"They are enemies of the Second French Republic! They betrayed our Motherland! We know that we have put the great Motherland in danger for our own selfish interests, and we must destroy them completely!"

"Long live the Second French Republic!"

"Hooray!"

"Long live freedom, equality, fraternity!"

"Hooray

！」

Kafenjak mobilized the emotions of the soldiers, and thunderous applause and shouts erupted in the square.

"Kafenyak!"

"Kafenyak!"

"Kafenyak!"

The soldiers chanted his name and swore in their hearts that they would fight for the Second French Republic.

These soldiers from the provinces believed in the words of Caffenjac, and they believed that the rebels in Paris at this time were the source of the decline of France, and that if they were eliminated, the good times would return.

Of the nearly 50,000 insurgents, nearly 8,000 were killed on the spot, most of the rest were sentenced to exile in the colonies, and some of the leaders were sentenced to death by hanging.

However, in order to settle the rebellion once and for all, Kafenjak ordered a city-wide manhunt and forbade civilians, especially workers, from keeping guns in their homes.

Within a week, 100,000 rifles and 3.7 million rounds of ammunition were collected, saving a lot of money on military expenditures.

The Einsatzgruppen of the Government of the Second French Republic arrested 25,000 suspects, executed 2,100 without trial, exiled 12,000 and sentenced the rest to prison terms ranging from two to twenty years.

Although the Kafenjac resolved the workers' uprising in Paris with a thunderbolt, unlike the same period in history, the Second French Republic did not have a peaceful external environment.

Henri Arsène of the North fled back to France with the French Army of the North after a head-to-head confrontation with the main force of the Archduke Karl.

However, the battle to regain Belgium was not as easy as expected, and the Belgian Republic, supported by the French, fought to the last moment with the main forces of Archduke Karl.

Both Franz and Archduke Karl hoped to use the prestige of Leopold I to take Brussels without blood.

After all, it should not be difficult to do this under the stereotype that Leopold I enjoyed high prestige in Belgium, but the reality is that the puppet government installed by the French refused to negotiate peace.

To make matters worse, one of Leopold I's bodyguards killed on the spot in a fit of rage the envoy sent by the puppet government for peace talks.

Franz had no idea what the guards were, but more than 300,000 German troops had to leave tens of thousands of corpses in the city, a population of less than 80,000.

Archduke Karl himself finally appreciated the cruelty of street fighting in the city, and he finally understood why Franz attached so much importance to street fighting.

If every city in France were like Brussels, even the German coalition with two million troops would not be able to conquer France.

After the liberation of Belgium, Archduke Karl did not continue the attack on the French mainland, as planned, and Henri Arsène led his army back to Lille safely, but he was not at all happy.

Henri Arsène began to conceive a defensive line stretching from the Calais in the west to the Ardennes in the east to defend against a possible German attack

At the same time, the situation on the Italian battlefield also began to reverse, and the Austrian Empire, which had the supremacy of the sea, directly cut off the supply of the French army.
