What is the legal basis for the Bonaparte family to rule France? To put it bluntly, what is the legal system of their family? To put it bluntly, it’s not surprising at all, it’s the army!
This is a family that rules the country by force, and what they achieve by being in power is the French dream of being powerful!
What is the purpose of accepting the rule of your Bonaparte family and supporting you as emperor? We can endure the poverty of life, we can accept hard work, we can eat the coarsest food...
But we endure all this, all we want is one thing, victory! You have to give us victory, because only with victory can the negative energy in our hearts be healed, and only with victory can the people see a little hope.
The 19th century was an era surrounded by wolves. If a nation wanted to live well, it had to tear the flesh and blood from other nations to eat!
Napoleon III continued to expand colonies, which gave the people hope for a happy life, nothing more!
Of course the French Emperor understood this, so whether it was true or not, he had to pretend to be a war maniac, because he knew that the people wanted the emperor to be warlike, and the people wanted to recreate the glory of Napoleon the Great!
Therefore, after the French Emperor came to power, he immediately began to form his own new army, commanding an army of 300,000 backbones loyal to him through military nobles loyal to the Bonaparte family.
By covering 300,000 direct descendants, he suppressed the unification of Italy, maintained the rule of the Vatican, forced a czar to death in Crimea, and set fire to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing... The entire French colony expanded rapidly in his hands.
Every victory made the French emperor's rule more stable, and gradually France as a whole developed a bad habit of using war to resolve crises.
The Franco-Prussian War was actually an attempt by the French emperor to divert the domestic crisis, but he didn't expect that after so many years of smooth sailing, this one was completely screwed up!
When these congressmen heard that the emperor was going to retreat to Paris and hand over all the northeastern provinces to the Prussians, their proud national sentiments could not bear it.
They clamored crazily, ignoring the threats of soldiers' bayonets, and protested with their lives against the queen's arbitrary life!
The entire parliament was so loud that it almost overturned the roof. Montauban was so frightened that he even forgot to hide when the ink bottle flew past him.
"Calm down... calm down... are you crazy? Blanqui and Thiers, you still don't restrain your men!" the Duke shouted angrily.
"Please be quiet and don't get excited..." Blanqui and Thiers stopped in front of the Duke and tried their best to resist the crazy attack of the MPs, but at this moment it was difficult for them to control the situation with their reputations.
"The Empire will never accept defeat! If the French Emperor dares to retreat to Paris, we will jointly depose him!"
"There is only one death! The empire will fight to the bitter end! Without victory, there will be no empire!"
At this time, the song of Marseillaise was sung in the parliament. People jumped on the tables, waved their fists at the soldiers, and sang loudly with their throats broken!
"Forward! Children of the motherland, rise up!"
"A glorious day awaits you!"
"Look the tyrant is facing us!"
"Raise the flag stained with blood, raise the flag stained with blood!"
"Did you hear that? The enemy's ferocious soldiers are howling on our land!"
"They rush towards you and kill your wives and children!"
"Arm up! Compatriots! Organize the army! Organize the army!"
"Forward! Forward! Forward..."
…
The singing started, the atmosphere was full, the soldiers' faces were red, and they also had patriotic enthusiasm in their hearts. Marseillaise ignited the blazing fire in their hearts.
The bayonets were lowered subconsciously, and the blades avoided these congressmen. The soldiers did not even dare to look at these fanatical congressmen!
The concessions of the congressmen were full of sincerity. They gave up the command of 800,000 National Guardsmen and even added an additional 2 billion in special war taxes. The only condition was that the French Emperor could not withdraw to Paris!
The proud national sentiment cannot accept retreat, nor can it accept the enemy bringing the flames of war to the capital!
"During the Austro-Prussian War, the capital of Austria was not surrounded by enemy military forces. Is it possible that our weak France is not as good as the Austro-Hungarian Empire?"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo even maybe maybe...""" The mad MP even grabbed the soldier's bayonet with his bare hands. The sharp blade cut his palm, and the blood stained the marble floor red.
"Madmen, they are all a group of madmen!" How dare Montauban really suppress it? When he saw that the situation was out of control, he immediately ordered a retreat. "Go, retreat immediately! I already know your statement, and I will give it back to the Queen as soon as possible." !”
Montauban, who was so arrogant just now, left the parliament in despair!
Blanqui and Thiers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They knew that the current situation was beyond their control!
Indeed, at that time, the organization of various movements was still very loose. Even the labor movement was not as disciplined as that of later generations. In many cases, movements were characterized by mass fanaticism.
Blanqui and Thiers can only use their influence to persuade, but they cannot give direct orders!
This was the case today. When the news that the French emperor planned to lead his troops to retreat back to Paris spread throughout the city, a riot suddenly broke out, and the whole of Paris exploded.
"Refuse to retreat, the Empire will never accept defeat! Fight to the end!"
"Every inch of the mountains and rivers must not be lost. Let's go to the front line on foot!"
The passionate singing of Marseillaise echoed on every street. Ironically, when the thugs were smashing, looting and burning shops, they were actually singing the patriotic Marseillaise.
What is even more sad is that in many factories, workers have used hammers to destroy machinery produced in Prussia!
Although Prussian industrial products at that time were not as famous as those of later generations, their quality was already very good. Although France used relatively few Prussian products, there were some.
Unable to vent their emotions, the workers even took advantage of lathe tools imported from Prussia and threw boxes of valuable lathe tools into the Seine River.
Paris has completely fallen. The Queen in the Tuileries Palace looked at the chaotic city with a horrified face, looking at many burning blocks, and her thighs in her petticoats were shaking like chaff.
"Send a telegram! Send a telegram to His Majesty quickly!"
"Let him fight to the end on the front line... and never come back!"
"For God's sake, don't come back!"
"As long as he dares to come back, these madmen will tear us apart, and they will guillotine me!"
Queen Eugenie suddenly thought of Louis XVI and Queen Mary who were beheaded. Did they also see the same crazy scene before they died?
"The nightmare of the Revolution has begun again! What should I do? What can I do..."
