Royalists must keep the emperor, even if it is a virtual monarch in a constitutional monarchy system, because as long as the emperor is still there, the title of nobility will not be abolished.
Of course, under the constitutional monarchy, the emperor's rights are curbed, not to mention the nobles, whose rights will definitely be greatly restricted.
But no matter how restricted they are, the rights they retain are still stronger than those of ordinary people. Moreover, they have a bigger plan, which is to retain the honor of the noble title so that they can make profits in other countries.
You know, at that time, other countries in Europe respected the nobility very much, and France was the only country where revolution was happening every day!
Although France's aristocratic status is a bit unusual in the eyes of Austria, Britain, Sweden and other kingdoms, they also recognize it.
It is precisely because of this recognition that there are links between them, such as cooperation and intermarriage. Everyone can be connected through marriage, they can also do some business together, and they can even get a lot of inside information that outsiders don't know.
There are many benefits. Naturally, the status of aristocrats cannot be lost, so they are out-and-out royalists. They try their best to make the emperor stay.
The royalists also have their own reasons. First of all, they started with the Veterans Group and directly named the Veterans Group as being only loyal to the Bonaparte family.
Any government created by your parliament, any person you elect to command the army, will be far less effective than having Crown Prince Eugene come forward.
Only the Crown Prince can truly unleash the actual combat effectiveness of these legions!
The red-haired senator pointed at the opponents in the audience and began to curse, and spittle flew back and forth from the two of them.
"Don't you know what it means to be faced with a national crisis? The Prussian army is about to attack Paris. Do you have time to organize an army now? How can you train?"
"This is what you call harming the country! Without these veteran groups, you want to build a strong French army from scratch. How many years will it take? Can it save the urgent need?"
"Why not? We in France are fighting on our own land, and the 40 million French people are a steady stream of warriors! If we launch a national war, any invader is doomed to fail!"
"Nonsense! What's the use of a bunch of scattered soldiers? No matter how many there are, they can only be defeated by the enemy one by one!"
The two began to curse, and then the two groups began to curse. The royalists did not have the numerical advantage for the time being, and were gradually suppressed in the curse battle.
Blanqui and others found an empty seat in the corner and sat down. As soon as he saw these royalists deflated, he felt much better and the expression on his face became more relaxed.
The quarrel lasted for more than twenty minutes. At this time, Gambetta suddenly spoke. He sealed the throat with his sword and stabbed the royalist's weakness.
"Who said the Prussian Army was invincible? Who said the newly organized National Army was weak?"
Gambit strode onto the stage, pushed aside the red-haired royalist MP and said loudly, "Gentlemen, I have good news for you. Just four hours ago, I received an emergency telegram from the city of Orleans..."
"A brigade of Prince Carl's Corps of Prussia attempted to invade Orleans. This was the vanguard of the Prussian army. Their purpose was to outflank Paris from the south and cut off the connection between Paris and the south..."
"Fortunately, the National Army I formed in Orleans successfully defeated the enemy's invasion... Our volunteers burst out with incredible patriotic enthusiasm!"
"No matter how fierce the enemy's artillery fire was, our attacks never stopped! In the end we won!"
"So far, I have deployed 60,000 new troops in Orleans, and the combat effectiveness of the new army has been verified! Who said that we can't fight without the private soldiers of the Bonaparte family?"
"absurd!"
Now the Republicans were all excited. They slapped the table and shouted the slogan "Long Live the Republic! The Republic! Long Live the Republic!"
"The new government must choose the Republic!"
Those royalists still want to make a final struggle, "Have you...have you forgotten how we were ostracized by all of Europe before?"
"It is not bad to restore the Republic, but once the Republic is restored, those European royal families will be our enemies! How can they allow a Republic to appear next to them again, our diplomacy..."
"Get off the stage... No one cares what you say... All you lackeys of the emperor, go to hell! France will be destroyed in your hands!"
The red-haired congressman and his companions were scolded, and they all returned to their seats to sulk, muttering to themselves.
"You will regret it, you will definitely regret it! You are trying to cut off the French military heritage... You have destroyed the military spirit left by the God of War. How will you restore it?"
"You don't have to use the veteran group with inheritance, so you have to start a new one? Do you have to waste time on re-establishing a military inheritance? How much time will be wasted..."
"Sooner or later France's military strength will be destroyed in your hands..."
But at this time, no one listened to their nonsense, because almost 90% of the people in France spread their grievances on the emperor and the nobles.
No one considers the issue of military inheritance, or no one understands what military inheritance is. In the eyes of many people, the military is actually a violent institution that can be gathered together with money and training.
Give you the best weapons, and then train desperately every day... Isn't it enough to have the advantage in numbers and firepower?
But they don't know that a strong army requires a kind of inheritance. The military soul cannot be bought with money, because it is a kind of spirit, a kind of admirable spirit that is similar to religion.
The Bonaparte family is the embodiment of this spirit. The most powerful legion in French history was trained by Napoleon, the God of War!
It's a pity that no one can think rationally about these issues in today's fanatical mood!
The royalists were kicked into the trash can, so is a republic a certainty? Obviously this was not possible, and immediately people began to argue fiercely about the two options of presidential system and prime ministerial system.
Countless members of Congress looked at their pocket watches anxiously. It was already ten o'clock in the night. The result was only a rejection of a proposal for a constitutional monarchy, and there was still no substantive resolution left.
Old General Trochu and other members of the disciplinary committee discussed with each other and knocked on the table, "Quiet! Quiet! Everyone rest for fifteen minutes..."
"I want to remind you gentlemen... The motherland is in danger now, and we have no time to waste. If we cannot come up with a feasible plan tonight, maybe the vanguard of the Prussian army will come over tomorrow!"
"We must gather the strength of the whole country as soon as possible to resist the invaders!"
"I'll give you fifteen minutes to calm down and think about it!"
