The corridor was quiet, except for Xiao Ran, there was no one else.
Xiao Ran took a look at the situation in the corridor, and then walked to the other end of the corridor.
As he walked, he secretly turned on the perspective and explored every apartment on the left and right.
As Jeremy said, most of the apartments in this building were empty. There were only some furniture covered with dust-proof sheets, but not a single person.
In some of the apartments, Xiao Ran discovered some very secret compartments and walls.
However, there was only one secret compartment that stored some things, and the other secret compartments and walls were all empty and had not been opened for a long time.
The only dark room with anything in it contained several yellowed documents.
Coincidentally, those documents happened to be from the period of the French Revolution, and the top one was labeled "Committee of Public Safety" and was labeled top secret.
The content of the document is the document of the Committee of Public Safety secretly suppressing the royalists and executing the royalist members.
Xiao Ran saw several very familiar names on this document.
It includes the signatures of many figures of the French Revolution, including Robespierre, Danton, Saint-Just, and Marat.
Without exception, they were all leading figures and backbones of the French Revolution, and most of them were important members of the Committee of Public Safety.
During the French Revolution, this Baroque-style building happened to be under the control of the Committee of Public Safety.
The people who lived here were all leaders of the French Revolution and were members of the Committee of Public Safety.
It can be inferred from this that Robespierre was by no means the only French leader living in this apartment building at that time, but he was just the most famous!
The value of these execution documents hidden in secret rooms is self-evident!
Just these few documents, once discovered and made public, will surely cause a sensation in the entire French historical community!
But in this Baroque-style apartment building, the value of these execution documents is not worth mentioning!
After a while, Xiao Ran arrived outside the apartment where Robespierre once lived.
He did not open the door to the apartment and go in, but stood outside the door to explore the situation inside the apartment through perspective.
In an instant, his sight penetrated the door panel and entered this dusty apartment.
Compared to Jeremy's apartment, this apartment is a little larger.
It has an area of approximately 130 square meters and has a structure of three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is located on the inside of the apartment building. When you open the window, you can see the garden and parking lot behind the building.
The decoration style of this apartment is also Baroque art style.
But no one has lived in it for a long time, and everything in the apartment is very old. There is a thick layer of dust on the dust-proof cloth covering the furniture.
Judging from the condition of the interior furniture and the thickness of the dust, this apartment has been vacant for forty or fifty years.
This situation is perfectly normal, after all, this is the apartment where Robespierre once lived!
The reason why the French are wary of this apartment building and do not want to mention it is because of Robespierre's terrifying reputation and the various haunting legends that come from it.
What's more, this is the apartment where Robespierre once lived. How many French people are willing to live in this apartment?
Xiao Ran quickly glanced at the situation in the apartment, and then looked at a pillar in the corner of the living room.
The column is located at the angle between the two walls. It looks very ordinary. It is a load-bearing column supporting the building. There is nothing special about it, and it cannot be removed!
However, when Xiao Ran's sight penetrated the pillar, an extremely secret hidden grid immediately appeared in his eyes.
This is a cylindrical hidden grid, hidden in the center of the column, with a diameter of only twelve or thirteen centimeters and a height of nearly three meters.
The secret compartment of this column was filled with various paper documents wrapped in moisture-proof oilcloth, one roll after another, leaving almost no gaps!
The moment he saw these documents, Xiao Ran almost cheered with excitement.
He knew very well that the discovery of these important historical documents would rewrite the history of the French Revolution and then the modern history of the Western world.
The most important document among them is the draft of France's 1793 constitution, the Jacobin constitution.
The Jacobin Constitution was adopted and promulgated by the National Convention established during the French Revolution on June 24, 1793, which is the Constitution of the First Year of the Republic, also known as the 'Constitution of 1793'.
The new constitution declares that France is a united and indivisible republic and implements the principle of separation of powers.
This is the most democratic bourgeois constitution in the modern history of the world and the first republican constitution in France. Due to the fierce struggle situation at that time, the National Convention decided not to implement the constitution for the time being.
Its promulgation had an extremely profound impact not only on France at that time, but also on the entire Europe at that time. It played an important role in fighting enemies and mobilizing the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people.
For France, and even for the entire Western world, the Jacobin Constitution manuscript is a truly priceless treasure!
The discovery of the manuscripts of the Jacobin Constitution will surely cause a sensation in France and the entire Western world.
For Xiao Ran, he must capture this apartment building and the draft of the Jacobin Constitution at all costs!
As long as we successfully obtain the draft of the Jacobin Constitution and other important historical documents, we can definitely get whatever we want in France!
By then, as long as Xiao Ran is interested in Chinese antiques and art that have been lost to France, no matter how precious or rare they are, they can be exchanged for them, and they can kill the French!
However, it was impossible for him to take away the manuscripts of the Jacobin Constitution and other historical documents. The French would never allow these priceless treasures to be lost.
Even if the U.S. Embassy in France intervenes, it won't work. Unlike Japan, France still has a certain say. After all, it is one of the top five gangsters in the world!
Xiao Ran quickly checked the manuscript of the Jacobin Constitution, and then slightly adjusted his excitement.
Then, he looked at another volume of historical documents below.
These are a person's manuscripts and work notes, as well as a portion of his personal diary.
It contains dense descriptions of various events that occurred during the French Revolution, as well as personal insights and views on the French Revolution.
And this person was none other than the famous Jacobin leader and the incorruptible Robespierre.
In the French and Western historical circles, because all of Robespierre's manuscripts and notes have not been preserved, it has caused great difficulties in the study of him, and it can even be said to be a blank.
The evaluation of Robespierre by historians, because there is no corresponding historical data to support it, often reflects the commentator's own ideology, and there are different opinions!
Some people think that he is too idealistic or rigid in his thinking and lacks the ability to take practical actions.
But others believe he is good at sizing up situations and seizing the right moment to take action.
Critics said he was self-centered, overly suspicious, and unreasonable; supporters praised him for his integrity, sharp vision, and his focus on the country and the revolution.
Some criticized him for adapting to changing circumstances and constantly changing his stance.
But some people think that the principles and goals he adheres to have never changed, and he just chooses different means to achieve his goals according to changes in the situation.
Later generations' evaluations of Robespierre are so diverse that they cannot be unified at all, and no one can convince anyone!
But it is undeniable that Robespierre had a profound influence on French and world history. Many European revolutionaries in the 19th century respected him.
The discovery of these Robespierre manuscripts and notes in the Column will completely rewrite the history about him and fill in many historical gaps!
From now on, the historical evaluation of Robespierre will be completely rewritten and become more objective and accurate.
When looking at Robespierre's manuscripts and notes, Xiao Ran also saw an execution order sandwiched in the notes.
It was an execution order personally signed by Robespierre. The target of execution was Danton, one of the most important initiators of the French Revolution!
On the page with the execution order, Robespierre wrote such a line in his own hand.
"Today, one of my best friends died, and I personally ordered his execution!"
"All the charges against him are all frame-ups!"
"But for France and for the revolution, I must do this. I must send this dear friend to the guillotine!"
"I'm sorry, Georges Jacques Danton, may you rest in peace in heaven!"
After seeing this text, Xiao Ran couldn't hold it in any longer and finally exclaimed in surprise!
"Wow! Who would have thought that the cold-blooded Robespierre in the eyes of the world would have such feelings!"
"Who knew that the charges Dandong was charged with were all frame-ups!"
Jacobin Constitution
