The parliamentary system is an effective restraint on centralization of power by mankind. From the beginning of its design, people have tried every means to decentralize power, so the parliament has many complicated procedures to ensure that no one will completely control the parliament.
Although human nature is complex and it is difficult to avoid forming cliques, in the modern parliamentary system, it is very difficult to form cliques.
If a certain force in the French National Assembly wants to come out on top, it will require a little bit of penetration through many parliamentary elections and a little bit of hard work. It will definitely not happen overnight.
Now Blanqui is encountering such a problem. He and the left-wing forces he represents have been suppressed by the French emperor for too long. All the left-wing members of the current parliament are actually not pure.
These people are just emotionally and ideologically closer to the working class, and some are even just out of sympathy!
Those real passionate revolutionaries don't even have the right to stand for election. For example, he himself has been wanted for half his life. If he doesn't dare to return to France, how can he even talk about running for election?
The final result is that the parliament is full of capitalist spokesmen. Looking at the enemy, there are countless enemies, but there are only a few of our own people.
Thiers obviously took a fancy to his own weakness, so he took control of the parliament by retreating. Even his temporary retreat could gain a lot of points among the people. Even if he were to blame him tomorrow, it would be difficult.
If Thiers really establishes a political image that is not about fame and fortune, it will be really difficult to deal with him!
The total number of members close to the left does not exceed fifty. This power is too weak in the parliament. What is even worse is the lack of famous senators from the left.
Only one Rochefort had ever served as a senator, but he could not nominate himself, so when he competed with Gambetta for the position of Minister of the Interior, he could only nominate a member who was not very famous.
The result was of course a failure, and Thiers took advantage of this opportunity to quickly propose Gambetta to take charge of France's internal affairs again. This time Blanqui and others could not stop him.
Sure enough, when the proposal started to be voted on, nearly 70% of the members voted in favor, and the left-wing members all had serious faces and complicated expressions.
No matter what the result was, Blanqui knew very well that Gambetta's election was indeed justified. One man could raise 100,000 new troops from the south by himself. How could an incompetent person do it?
He was really a good candidate to coordinate the country's internal affairs. I was too impatient just now and actually jumped out to oppose it. Now I have made another enemy.
Blanqui looked at Gambetta and found that his expression was neither happy nor sad. He just quickly stood on the podium and began to swear loyalty to the Republic.
At this point, the plans of the capitalist forces have been fully exposed, and Thiers is the driving force at the forefront. What his organization wants to do is to allow the capitalist forces to completely control the new government.
All the efforts Blanqui made were in vain in the end!
Thiers took a few steps back and sat back in his seat. He could now let go and let other members of his staff start attacking. Since some people think he talks too much, he should say less.
Thiers stopped talking, but his party members spoke up. Soon, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Taxation, the Minister of Education... various positions of real power were recommended.
Among the 26 people in the entire Provisional Committee, it is impossible for all of them to be assigned real power, and the country does not have so many positions to provide. The key positions are nothing more than money, military, diplomacy, education... But Blanqui and the others are lacking in these real powers. Can't get it.
When the left puts forward a name, it is immediately rejected, and when it proposes another name, it is still rejected. The scene is filled with boos and curses... But what can you do? This is the rule of the parliament, and there is no talk of holding another national election for you Blanqui alone, right?
Even if we want to hold a national election when the national crisis is looming, we don’t have the conditions! So if you want to be reasonable and legal, you have to accept your fate. You Blanqui must accept all the resolutions proposed by the parliament today!
The struggle had reached the most critical moment, and Blanqui couldn't bear it anymore. He whispered a few words to his subordinates, and soon the subordinates urinated and left the debate hall.
At the critical moment, the working class who supported him was the most reliable. After a while, a wave of singing suddenly sounded outside the Bourbon Palace. It was tens of thousands of citizens singing the Marseillaise in unison.
Originally, the order at the Bourbon Palace tonight was very good. People came here to witness history, not to cause trouble!
So when there was a big discussion inside, people outside just waited quietly and didn't speak loudly!
But when they knew that the parliament had completely isolated the left-wing forces, the dissatisfied people began to stir up chaos. They stood up from the ground and began to sing and demonstrate against the parliament.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do...be quiet, be quiet!"
The expressions of the guards on guard changed greatly. They formed a human wall behind the Roman column corridor. They were really afraid that these lunatics would suddenly rush in!
There were only more than a thousand soldiers guarding the Bourbon Palace, but the number of singing citizens was approaching 30,000. If these people went crazy, they would not be able to control it at all.
When the roar of Marseillaise reached the parliament, General Trochu's face was livid with anger. He knew that this was a demonstration by Blanqui and others. More than a hundred worker representatives at the parliament had already stood up and glared angrily.
There is only one sentence in everyone's eyes: "You can't possibly deceive all the workers in France with what you have done!" On the surface, the procedures you have implemented are legal, but you have harmed the working class of all France! '
'Legal but unreasonable! Such a result is destined to produce huge conflicts! '
Thiers also felt that things had gone too far. If not a single leftist member of the 26-member committee was included, then these workers would definitely cause trouble!
General Trochu banged the table and shouted, "Rest for a quarter of an hour, rest for another quarter of an hour... We must determine the basic candidates for the new government before dawn..."
This scene will eventually be recorded in the history books. More than 30,000 people outside the Bourbon Palace sang the Marseillaise in unison. They were exerting tremendous pressure on the Parliament.
In the debate hall, in the auditorium at the end, more than a hundred worker representatives stood up in unison. Each of them had extremely high military qualifications. They expressed their silent protest with actions.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense. During the break, the congressmen did not have time to drink coffee. They all gathered together for discussion, and their eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.
After the break, Gambetta took the lead in proposing that Representative Rochefort also be included in the 26-member interim committee!
But this time no one dared to vote against it. All the members present voted unanimously, and Rochefort became the last member to enter the committee!
