The Emperor watched his son being put into the carriage and taken away from Sharon, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"My child! There is no hope. The Second Empire is over. No matter what the outcome of this war is, at least the rule of our Bonaparte family is over!"
"The failure of this war has dealt a devastating blow to the last foundation of our family's governance...that is, the army. Even if William I lets me go, the domestic opposition will not let me go! "
"They will not accept the conditions of a constitutional monarchy at all. They will directly declare a republic and send me to the guillotine!"
"This country has this tradition! They will never give me a chance to abdicate peacefully. They will already chop off my head!"
"I regret it so much, I really regret it! If I had known I was so wrong, I should have declared a constitutional monarch three years ago!"
"At that time, even if the country fails, it will still be the responsibility of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, and the Parliament. It would be great if our family could be free and happy!"
"Why can't I let go? Why can't I let go..."
The self-blaming French Emperor only regretted it for a moment, and then laughed coldly, "Hahaha... Because we are Bonaparte's family, and we have the gene of power in our blood!"
"You want me to be mediocre? You want me to give up my rights? Dream on, no one in this world can take away my rights!"
"Damn Xiao Letian, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all because of you that I lost my mind and took wrong steps..."
"Damn bastard, when I caught you, why didn't I just shoot you! Why did I become so merciful?"
"Asshole, you are an asshole! Why don't you listen to me? Xiao Letian, answer me...why don't you listen to me?"
"You are a lowly Chinese. How dare you challenge my rule? How dare you break out of my prison? How dare you!"
The roaring King of France was breathing like an angry bull. His whole body was immersed in hatred. He just couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out whether he was alive or dead!
How dare you, Xiao Letian, disobey my orders? I invited you to Besançon and entertained you with delicious food and drink. I gave you the best treatment!
Is there any prisoner in the world who is treated so well as you? How dare you resist? If you don't resist, I won't have so many gaffes in the future, let alone so many mistakes!
It's all your fault, it's all your fault!
"Xiao Letian! Go to hell, I don't want to be alive anymore, Alfred... kill them all, kill them all!"
"Hahaha... kill them all... kill them all... kill everyone who doesn't listen to me!"
Napoleon III was really crazy. He pushed open the window and pointed at the sky, "I curse you! I curse this world! I curse everyone who opposes me!"
"You all go to hell! Anyone who disobeys my orders, go to hell! How dare you disobey me? You are so courageous, so courageous..."
"Hasn't there been a telegram from Sedan yet? I want a telegram from Sedan!"
The King of France has completely lost and has no chance to make a comeback. He is already ready to escape, but before escaping, he has to watch Xiao Letian die with his own eyes to be happy.
He knew very well that according to time calculation, Alfred's troops should have broken through the Belgian border last night. If everything went well, a victory telegram should also be sent back this morning.
The King of France is waiting. He is waiting for good news worth taking a swig. It is the spiritual opium he has been waiting for for a long time!
At this moment, at three forty in the afternoon, there was a sudden commotion in the telegraph room. "Telegram! Telegram from Sedan!"
…
The hour hand still needs to be adjusted back one step, and then one step back, until yesterday, when Prince Carl pretended to attack the Bazaine Army and launched a surprise attack on the Marne River.
At that time, Alfred's cavalry had just entered the Ardennes, and Xiao Letian of Belgium had just sent away the King of Belgium who came to visit.
The Ardennes is a forest plateau located in southeastern Belgium, northern Luxembourg and northeastern France!
There are many forests, swamps, peatlands and rivers here. It is a famous tourist resort in later generations. Of course, it was also the outbreak place of the famous Battle of the Ardennes during World War II.
The last swan song of the German Third Reich, the Battle of the Bulge consumed Germany’s last vitality!
Xiao Letian looked at the mountains, rivers and forests of the Ardennes Plateau, recalling the swan song of World War II, and felt extremely sad. However, he couldn't share this feeling with the people around him, because in this parallel world, not even the First World War broke out. , let alone World War II.
Syni is a very ancient town, located in a plain where two mountains intersect. It has a very high forest coverage rate. The local area mainly relies on winemaking and animal husbandry for its livelihood.
This ancient town, whose history can be pushed back to before the Middle Ages, has its own city walls and a quiet and peaceful life in a town of more than 2,000 people.
I have to say that the place Xiao Letian chose is still very good. It has beautiful scenery, is conducive to defense, and is very close to Sedan.
On the surface, Bismarck asked him to leave the front line of the battle, but if the Battle of Sedan broke out, the distance of fifteen kilometers would not be able to stop Xiao Letian at all.
Even if Xiao Letian appears near Sedan to watch the battle, Bismarck and the others will have nothing to do! It can even be said that Xiao Letian chose the small town of Xunyi just for the battle of Sedan!
Wang Huaiyuan, who was beside Xiao Letian, watched the Belgian King's motorcade leave Syny far away, and suddenly asked, "This Leopold II is very ambitious!"
The current King of Belgium, Leopold II, took the trouble to take a train from Brussels to meet Xiao Letian in order to welcome Xiao Letian, who was visiting secretly.
He expressed his respect for the head of state with extraordinary enthusiasm, and also expressed his willingness to cooperate in depth with the Chinese people. During the negotiations, the king's performance even felt a bit too humble.
Even if a European monarch is younger, he will not be so embarrassed in front of the Eastern head of state. If this is spread, it will not be good for his reputation.
Xiao Letian laughed when he heard this. "Of course, this man claims to be the king of colonization and an absolute believer in colonialism! A typical villain..."
"When you are strong, he will come back to make you happy. If you are weak, he will be the first to jump out and step on you!"
"This guy is very good at deceiving, pretending to be a wise king at home, and also sent a large number of scientific expedition teams to Africa under the illusion of benevolence..."
"Old Wang, just wait. This guy will use a very magical method to colonize Africa. He is definitely very cunning!"
