There is truly no way out! At this moment, Paris is boiling like a pot of hot soup, and all kinds of messy things are rising and falling in the pot of soup!
The Champs Elysées has become a sea of celebration, with people singing and dancing around the parade to celebrate the empire's victory!
Yes, you heard it right, the people are celebrating victory. In their hearts, Prussia and the Chinese have long been turned into meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others!
Barrels of wine were pushed out and consumed at an extremely fast speed. Today, the consumption of various wines in Paris must be at least 500,000 barrels!
The French people, stimulated by alcohol and an illusory sense of victory, had long forgotten the hardships of life, and they all fell into a hysterical frenzy.
The Marseillaise was sung throughout the city, and shouts of Long Live kept coming. The glorious veterans of the empire could eat all over the city without even bringing a single coin. Especially those veterans who had fought in the Crimean War were the focus of the crowd!
Men and women were singing and dancing wildly, and there was even a drunkard doing his dirty deeds on the grass, while the people around him only laughed and booed, and no one stopped him!
Paris has gone crazy! France has gone crazy!
All kinds of sounds poured into the Tuileries Palace from all directions, making the Crown Prince on the terrace feel dizzy!
"Did you hear that? This is what they want! This is also the only thing my Bonaparte family can give! You tell me to calm down, can they calm down?"
"If I take a step back now, it will be doomed. They will rush into the Tuileries Palace with fanaticism and tear us all to pieces!"
"This is a country of madmen, a country where there is no distinction between superior and inferior. This is a crazy land that despises the king and even God!"
"The madmen in this country! If I don't act crazier than them, I won't be able to control the situation at all! Do you still want me to retreat now? We have no retreat!"
"If we take another step back, all the nobles in France will be buried together!"
"Once the Second Empire is destroyed, you nobles will also be buried with it!"
People looked at the emperor who was shouting hoarsely, and their faces turned pale with fright. This was the emperor's threat! It is also a threat to the entire French fanatical people!
At this point, the ministers had no way out. They stepped forward and said in unison, "I will follow your majesty to the death! Long live the empire!"
…
The news of the French Emperor's declaration of war had finally come. That night, the news spread throughout Europe. This was a sleepless night in Europe. Except for ordinary people who were indifferent to national affairs, educated people in any country were worried about it. This war!
As soon as the major European stock markets opened the next day, various mysterious funds began to fall into a state of war in advance. All stocks and bonds linked to France and Prussia continued to plummet.
The capital market directly represented the mainstream public opinion at the time. During this financial crash, Prussian stocks and bonds fell the most severely. It can be seen that the European people at that time were not optimistic about Prussia at all.
In fact, France is not much better. Their credit bonds, steel stocks, coal stocks, shipping, food and other stocks have all suffered an avalanche of declines.
Fortunately, because some investors were optimistic about the probability of France's victory, when these stocks were cut in half, a large amount of money immediately began to enter the market to take over.
What is even more jaw-dropping is that France's military industry stocks have soared rapidly, stimulated by the benefits of the war. Countless gamblers have bet on France, and large sums of money have stimulated these stocks to double and skyrocket!
Looking back at Prussia, the tenacity of this nation is clearly revealed at this moment! No matter the changes in the external environment, these iron-blooded Prussians still firmly maintain the order of the empire!
Unlike the fanatical Parisians and the lunatic French, the entire Prussia, from cities to villages, from Junker landowners to ordinary workers and peasants, became taciturn in the face of this war!
Workers are still working every day, and farmers are not limited to half a day. Doctors pack up their tools and prepare to join the army's field hospital. Donation groups composed of college students once again take to the streets.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, Prussia at this moment is like a Tiger tank. All the parts are stable, precise and perform their duties without confusion.
The carriage stopped on the street, and Xiao Letian looked through the glass window at the impassioned eyes of the three students standing on the wooden box. There were more than a dozen coins scattered in the hats on the ground.
There were only five or six Berlin citizens around who were listening to their speeches, and their expressions were so calm that it was unimaginable!
Facing those scattered coins, the three students did not show any impatience. Instead, they responded with sincere smiles and bows to every donated coin!
Because they know that these coins may be the last bit of floating wealth in these citizens' homes. If they donate this money, they will have to rely on the food rationed by the state to survive!
Xiao Letian closed the curtains and said with tears in his eyes, "What a terrible nation, they have drained the last bit of their energy to gamble on this war!"
"But how can they still be so calm and orderly after they have reached this point! What a terrible nation. Under the order is a deep hostility, a terrible lava of hell!"
Xiao Letian took out a handful of coins from his pocket and handed it to the guard, "Take it and give it to those students!"
The guard ran over quickly and put the handful of gold coins in his hat. Such a glittering handful of gold coins immediately made the students panic, including the surrounding Berlin citizens who looked up and took a closer look. A look of gratitude.
Looking at these oriental faces and the Prussian royal emblem on the black carriage, they can guess who the characters are in the carriage!
The Prussians present collectively took off their hats and bowed deeply to the carriage to express their gratitude to their distant allies!
The carriage rolled forward. When the carriage passed by the students, a student ran up quickly and thrust a leaflet into the guard's hands.
"Führer! We can still create miracles...right? We can still create miracles...right?"
Xiao Letian opened the car window, looked at those young faces and nodded firmly, "Of course! In my eyes, the miracle has already happened right now!"
"Wait for the good news! Brave young people, and all the patient Germans! All your efforts will always be rewarded!"
There were no roars of longevity outside the window, and there were no excited faces. People just had tears of gratitude in their eyes, and everyone suppressed their emotions in their hearts...
At this moment, countless shouts suddenly rang out on the street, "Extra! Extra! The king just gave a speech!"
"War has been declared! Our King officially responds to France's declaration of war!"
"His Majesty has issued a war mobilization order for all of Germany!"
"The German nation unites! Fight the French aggression together!"
