The eyes of the envoys from various countries in the Tuileries Palace were shattered. No one expected that Napoleon III, who looked so ferocious, farted in the end!
Where has the previous toughness gone? Wasn't he very arrogant when he shouted the ultimatum? Why is it that the deadline is reached and there is such a sloppy severance of relations?
It's like having cramps in your stomach and thinking it was just a sore throat, but in the end it was just a fart!
The Duke of Newx spilled half the glass of champagne in his hand, "Sauri... Sauri... His Majesty's mind is really broad... Hahaha..."
The Duke's ridicule made the French prince so ashamed that he couldn't hold his head up. He hated his inability to help his father overcome the difficulties. He hated those corrupt bureaucrats who dared to embezzle even arms money at the expense of the public and private interests. Why didn't his father listen to the advice and insisted on making an ultimatum...
He is even more cruel to the hundreds of thousands and millions of people outside. If it weren't for their fanatical nationalism to kidnap them, why would his father be so stupid?
Napoleon III was obviously much thicker-skinned than his own son. He didn't care about the strange looks and private whispers of envoys from various countries.
How much does a pound of face cost? Where to sell?
Napoleon III stood on the terrace enjoying the cheers of the people. Just when he was about to announce the start of the grand parade, a sound like waves in the distance made his face change.
war! There was only one word shouted by the crowd in the distance, and that was war!
Hundreds of thousands of people didn't know whether they really heard it wrong or deliberately put pressure on the emperor. It was just that the people within a hundred meters of the terrace were dumbfounded and dared not speak, but the dark crowds a hundred meters away were everywhere. A cry of war.
Napoleon III was a little unable to get off the stage. He coughed dryly, and the guard officer running next to him whispered something in his ear. The French Emperor's face became strange.
Just when the situation was delicate, the killer plan designated by Xiao Letian finally started to take action!
Countless spies entered the disguised houses through secret passages and began to climb from the inside to the roof. They carried heavy canvas bags on their bodies, full of thick leaflets!
Standing in the warm wind on the roof, these spies did not hesitate, grabbed the leaflets in their pockets and threw them into the wind!
It was as if there was a July snowstorm in the sky. Flyers like butterflies began to fly in the sky with the scent of ink. The citizens who were caught off guard forgot to cheer. At that moment, the whole of Paris suddenly became quiet.
Facing the light, the flyers spun and fluttered and landed on the river of people. The Paris citizens who were shouting at the top of their lungs screamed in shock when they saw the words on the flyers.
"Oh God! It's an official statement from Prussia! It's a provocation from Bismarck!"
These Paris citizens did not know that at the same time, other European countries besides France also received this latest news. However, those countries did not receive the same treatment as France, and no one would print leaflets for free.
London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Lisbon... newspapers in every historic European city published this shocking Prussian statement today.
"Prussia found it difficult to accept the French Emperor's ultimatum!"
"As we all know, Prussia and the Chinese have not taken any adverse actions against France. No one wants to be an enemy of His Majesty the Emperor, but our kindness does not mean cowardice!"
"The Chinese arose in the waves of East Asia. During their rise, they did not challenge any of France's interests. On the contrary, there were French conspiracies and calculations, and even military intervention!"
"The Chinese people are forced to have no choice but to fight back in normal self-defense. This is undeniable!"
"The Chinese have given Prussia great support. This is a friendship that was exchanged for blood and life. After the Austro-Prussian War, we have reached an alliance agreement with the Chinese!"
"Now His Majesty the French Emperor actually asks our country to tear up the treaty. This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Here, I declare to all Europe that Prussia will never accept the French ultimatum and will never discuss any related issues with France from now on!"
The people of France were dumbfounded, and the people of all Europe were dumbfounded! Just when everyone thought Prussia was giving in, they didn't expect Bismarck to hold back such a National Day gift package!
"Ah..." A sound like a howling wolf suddenly sounded on the Champs Elysées, and then a pair of big hands began to tear the flyer desperately.
The man crying bitterly was wearing an old military uniform, and he looked like a former empire veteran!
"God punish these despicable people! How dare they humiliate France like this!"
"How dare Jena's defeated general dare to insult the empire like this!"
The roar of the veterans was like a clarion call to declare war. A large proportion of veterans in the parade were the first to become angry!
"Does little Prussia dare to challenge France's dignity like this?"
"How dare the weak and divided Germany dare to insult the honor of the Reich!"
"Who are they? They are just a bunch of lowly bugs!"
"Your Majesty! Let's go to war! Completely wipe Prussia off the face of the earth!"
The anger spread rapidly among the crowd like a virus. In less than ten minutes, hundreds of thousands of people were furious, and the joy of the National Day disappeared without a trace.
How could one not be angry? The pride of France at that time was unparalleled. They were naturally considered to be the second most powerful country in the world. No country other than Britain would dare to humiliate them like this.
Xiao Letian knows this psychological gap all too well. It is like North Korea in later generations declaring war on the United States, or Qatar in Africa spitting on the entire European Union!
In the hearts of the proud French, Prussia is a backward and ignorant country. Although it is better than countries in Africa and other regions, in the civilized world, Prussia will always be the weakest country at the bottom.
At least the gap between him and France is as big as the altitude of the Pyrenees!
How dare such a weak and backward nation dare to humiliate the powerful France? It’s really unbearable!
The strange movement among the parade crowd was quickly transmitted forward, and soon reached the terrace of the Tuileries Palace. The French Emperor was furious when he heard the news.
"Catch those spies! Hang them all!"
"Where are the flyers? Where are the flyers? Bring them to me!"
The French Emperor was completely confused. He actually forgot that the diplomatic envoys from other countries were present around him at this moment!
Before the guests left, he actually started asking for leaflets and had to make a decision in anger!
Prince Eugène Bonaparte, who still had some sense, ran to the terrace in a few steps, grabbed his father's arm and whispered, "Father, what you have to do now is to calm down and announce the end of the celebration immediately!"
"You can't make a random decision at this moment!"
"Shut up! Do I still want you to teach me how to do things? Bring me the leaflets!" the King of France roared angrily.
