Blue Star In September 1872, after Zuo Zongtang's troops liberated Reims, they rushed to Paris without stopping.
The city of Paris was suddenly shrouded in the shadow of war. The once prosperity and glory were replaced by gloom, and the streets were filled with fear and uneasiness. At this time, the royal family of the Gallic Kingdom had evacuated and went to the Mizi Kingdom.
At the moment before dawn, the Chinese army approached the city of Paris like a beast. The advanced tanks in their hands roared, as if mocking the city that was about to be conquered. The flames of the machine gun mercilessly devoured lives, and everything seemed to collapse in an instant.
"Company Commander, there seems to be movement ahead." A Gallic soldier watched the front vigilantly and reported to the company commander.
"Strengthen vigilance and proceed with caution." The company commander ordered solemnly, with firmness in his eyes.
As the sun rises, the city of Paris is shrouded in an invisible fear. The nobles fled one after another, taking their gold and silver with them, abandoning this once prosperous city.
Although the soldiers defending the city did not retreat, their disadvantages in equipment and numbers made them unable to withstand the Chinese onslaught.
"Brothers, work harder! As long as we defend this city, promotion and fortune are just around the corner!" A Gallic soldier shouted loudly, trying to inspire the fighting spirit of his comrades.
"Don't be stupid, they won't give us anything, all the nobles have ran away." Another soldier sneered, "They only care about their own interests, we are just pawns."
"That's enough! We are soldiers, not politicians." The company commander interrupted them sternly, "Our mission is to complete the mission, not to discuss politics."
Zuo Zongtang looked at the defenses of this ancient city. It could be said that they were full of loopholes. Not even many trenches were dug in front. Did they relax their vigilance or did the Chinese advance too fast?
"There is no way to fight this battle. Which company can plant the flag in the center first? All the soldiers in this company will be upgraded to three levels in a row. In addition, you must be careful not to take anything from the people after entering the city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed. "
The morale of the Chinese soldiers increased greatly, and all tanks and artillery were dispatched. The defenders were stunned with a sudden attack.
In the corner of the city, a group of defenders used the familiar terrain to set up traps.
"Quick! Put the explosives there!" a soldier shouted, pointing to a tank not far away.
"Good idea! Blow it up!" other soldiers responded.
boom!
With a loud noise, the tank fired a shot in their direction!
Bodies were left on the ground.
A mother searches for something in the ruins. Tears fell when she found a broken lens with a family photo on it. She hugged the lens tightly, as if holding her own child: "Dear babies, where are you?" She whispered sadly to herself.
"Mom!" A voice came from the ruins. She immediately ran over and found her child trapped under the rubble.
The stone on top was too heavy and the mother could not move it.
At this time, several Chinese soldiers saw this and ran over.
The mother was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her body was shaking, and she was begging for mercy. At this moment, she felt that she was in danger.
Then three Chinese soldiers worked together to move away the rubble and rescued the little girl.
Soon, the Chinese soldiers achieved a complete victory.
The people of Paris found that this army was different from other invaders. They were very friendly and respectful to the people of Paris.
They do not kill innocent people indiscriminately and try to protect the lives of ordinary people as much as possible. When entering houses, they do not snatch property, but communicate harmoniously with residents and help them solve their difficulties and problems.
Soldiers even helped Paris citizens clear rubble, repair houses, and rescue the wounded. Their actions won the trust and gratitude of the people.
"Thank you! You are such good people!" A Parisian citizen said gratefully to a soldier. "We used to think that all armies were bad people, but now it seems we were wrong."
"We have no choice but to do it." The soldier said frankly, "War is cruel, but it is our honor to be able to do something for you." His words warmed the hearts of Paris citizens.
Zuo Zongtang also paid great attention to the code of conduct and discipline requirements that soldiers imposed on ordinary people. He often emphasized: "We are here to fight, not to destroy our homes. We must protect the interests and lives of the people as much as possible." His orders made the soldiers deeply aware of the importance of humanity and sense of responsibility in war.
Shidakai soon arrived in the city of Paris, and he decided to go to the Palace of Versailles, which was the symbol of the Gallic royal family.
The Palace of Versailles looks even more magnificent under the setting sun. The palace door slowly opened, and Shi Dakai led the troops and walked in. They passed through the vast hall where members of the Gallic royal family had held grand banquets. Now, the hall was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.
Shi Dakai climbed onto a high platform and overlooked the entire palace. He saw the exquisite murals, glittering chandeliers and intricate carvings. This was once the center of power and glory.
Shi Da couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart. He was proud of his victory, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sadness. The ruins of ruins that came into view along the way made him realize the destruction and pain caused by the war.
"This used to be the center of a powerful country in Xizhou." Shi Dakai said to Zuo Zongtang beside him, "But now, everything belongs to the people."
"Yes, President." Zuo Zongtang replied, "We have also liberated the people here."
The general was silent for a moment, and then said: "We must remember the lessons of this war and work for peace."
They continued on, passing through hall after hall. In each hall, soldiers guard the various treasures and works of art that were once the treasures of the Gallic royal family.
"We are very close to our final goal!"
Shi Dakai sighed at this ancient palace.
