Thiers and Blanqui were incompatible. Their political views were completely opposite. In the past, the two sides had started a verbal war in the newspapers. They argued with each other but neither could convince the other.
As soon as we met today, the smell of * immediately became stronger!
Blanqui pointed at the citizens on and outside the steps and said loudly, "They are all citizens of France. They all have the right to attend the Parliament. They have the right to express their thoughts when the motherland is in danger!"
"Assaulting the Parliament? The charge is not small, but the charge is not big enough. It is much smaller than Napoleon III's charge!"
Thiers curled his lips and sneered, "Parliament has parliamentary regulations, and auditors also have auditor disciplines. Now the parliament is conducting a key debate concerning the motherland..."
"I hope you all come in with your ears and not your mouth. Anyone who makes noise will be regarded as interfering with parliamentary activities!"
"To tell you the truth, I will not arrest anyone. Once you interfere with the parliament and cannot work, the meeting will be postponed indefinitely!"
"The new government has not yet been determined, and the Prussian army is racing against time to approach Paris! Whoever delays time will be the sinner of the motherland!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you did in Paris, but this is the National Assembly, so don't use the things outside here!"
"If the Prussian army surrounds Paris and we can't even elect a new government, then we will be the laughingstock of the world and France will be in ruins!"
"Listen up, everyone, there can only be one hundred spectators inside now, only one hundred people, not even one more!"
Thiers turned around and left, and Rochefort and Gambetta also strode in. Thiers' words were hard to hear, but they were all the truth. The country was in crisis, and the Prussian army vanguard soon There will be killings. If there is internal strife at this time, I am afraid that the relatives will hate the enemies and the enemies will be quick!
Blanqui turned to his followers and said, "Elect one hundred representatives, while the others sit quietly and wait outside the steps! No one is allowed to make noise..."
At 8:15 in the evening, Blanqui finally entered the holy place he had dreamed of entering, the French National Assembly and the Palais Bourbon!
This is a completely dreamy palace. The more than ten-meter-high dome is covered with murals, the marble floor is pieced together with intricate patterns, and the statues decorated in the corners are hundreds of years old.
During the late-night meeting, many staff members were lighting candles. More than 500 candles were lit in one corridor alone, and the entire Palais Bourbon was brightly lit.
The closer you get to the main debate hall of the parliament, the more you can feel the violent atmosphere inside, and the noisy noises squeeze out through the cracks in the door.
When Blanqui pushed open the door of the debate hall, the atmosphere inside almost pushed him out.
In the fan-shaped division of the grand debating hall, with the Senate in front of the former members of the National Assembly, although the hall was not full, the intensity of the debate was even more intense than when it was full.
A red-haired senator directly in front of the podium was reciting a telegram. When he listened carefully, it turned out to be a telegram sent by Senator Raul who was far away on the front line.
Overthrowing an old country and establishing a new one is not a simple matter. The French Emperor surrendered and the Second Empire collapsed. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, there was no objection to the vote that just declared the fall of the Empire. Everyone voted. Yes vote.
But after the empire collapsed, a new country had to be established. France couldn't just fall apart!
However, the overall choice of this new government has actually gone awry. The royalists in Congress are still stubborn and are still resisting. They actually want to restore the constitutional monarchy.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be silent... You can object to my proposal, but you have to let me speak, and Congressman Raul has witnessed the battle on the front line with his own eyes..."
"Don't you want to hear his opinion? Who gave you the right not to let me speak..."
The red-haired senator yelled angrily!
"Go away! You are the emperor's lackey. France has already caused misery to those emperors. The constitutional monarchy is also poison. It cannot save the motherland at all!" The people in the audience retorted with hoarse accusations, and their spittle flew to the stage. .
The red-haired man was not to be outdone. "Can you save the motherland? What can you do to resist the Prussian army? Do you rely on you to curse people on the battlefield? Now is my time to speak. You are interrupting in violation of regulations..."
On the rostrum, General Trochu and several noble old congressmen formed a discipline maintenance group. They banged on the table and shouted, "Let him continue speaking. Don't waste time cursing on the street. Continue to speak..."
The red-haired man spat at the audience, raised the telegram and shouted loudly, "Members of France, please listen. Choosing a constitutional monarchy will only bring benefits and no harm to the current situation!"
"Napoleon III can step down, we can expel him from France, we can exile him politically... but Crown Prince Eugene is not at fault, he can completely become the national symbol of France!"
"Quiet...listen to me...Constitutional monarchy has great benefits. First of all, the crown prince's ascension to the throne is just for the image of the country. He has no real power. He even has to hand over military power!"
"In this way we can avoid dictatorship... The most important thing is to choose a constitutional monarchy, which means we can save France's most important elite army!"
"General Bazin has arrived in Metz now, and he still has a hundred thousand elite legions in his hands... In addition, the veteran groups scattered across the country who have not had time to go to the front line can also organize a hundred thousand people!"
"The most important thing is the overseas corps. Those experienced corps in the colonies, the prince can also order them to move!"
"Gentlemen, please don't forget that these most elite regiments were formed and trained by the Bonaparte family. Putting them in the hands of anyone else will not be as effective as putting them in the hands of the prince!"
"After stabilizing the veteran group, and then conducting a nationwide conscription, with the veterans as the core force, and then launching a people's war...then the invaders will naturally be defeated!"
"Are you turning a blind eye to such a huge benefit? Senator Raul is rushing to Paris with all his strength... He telegraphed a proposal for France to implement a constitutional monarchy!"
"We must implement a constitutional monarchy!"
"Fart! You are the emperor's lackey...can't we fight without those losers? Declare a national emergency and require all French provinces to immediately send troops to attack Paris!"
"If an army of half a million is not enough, we need an army of one million, or two or five million! One day we will be able to drown these invaders!"
"Get off the stage, you are the emperor's lackey!"
