"Yes, it is to let the French Emperor ignite the hope in the hearts of the royalists... You must know that that force is very huge!"
Queen Eugenie and Prince Eugène have fled to England and are under the protection of the queen. Now other members of the Bonaparte family have also left France one after another.
It seems that the royalists are going to be in trouble, but people who really understand the French nation will not think so. This is a country addicted to restoration, and the dream of empire has always existed. No matter how bad Napoleon III's reputation is, many people still miss him. good.
The military must recognize the Bonaparte family. This is no longer a relationship of interest. This has become a tradition, because the real new army in France was founded by Napoleon.
The Great Revolution completely destroyed the old order, and the king's army had its inheritance interrupted. Then the God of War was a brand new army built on the ashes of the capitalist revolution.
After so many years, no matter how hard other governments in the middle try to erase the shadow of the Bonaparte family, it is in vain!
Because the army is a place that pays attention to mentoring and mentoring. Grandpa is loyal to the God of War, and his son and grandson will naturally be loyal to the God of War with a high probability.
More importantly, there is kindness here. Countless military dignitaries were originally the sons of ordinary tenants or small workshop owners.
The common people and untouchables were cultivated and reused by the Bonaparte family and then changed their class, and suddenly became superiors!
Such a force is called the military aristocracy, and in Prussia it is called the Junker aristocracy!
You must repay a favor to whomever you receive. This is the simplest human emotion. Therefore, the restoration of the Bonaparte family has always been supported by the military. There is very little resistance here.
In addition, there are the vast rural areas of France. The education level of farmers in this era is too low. Even now, they still listen to the words of the pastors in the churches around them!
These people are naturally the emperor's vote bank, especially those who support the God of War family!
The military and rural areas are the base areas of the royalists, and the traditional aristocrats support the Bonaparte family, because with the emperor they are the aristocrats, but if it becomes a republic, they will have nothing!
There are also monks, the Catholic forces. These people hate the Great Revolution. No matter who is the main body leading the revolution, they hate it.
They can only safeguard their interests by choosing the Bonaparte family as allies!
The army, aristocratic capitalists, a large number of farmers, Catholic monks... let me calculate what is missing? And of course the royal families of other European countries!
Although the Bonaparte family is not one of those old dynasties that have been passed down for thousands of years, after so many years of war and cooperation, these old-school dynasties have gradually accepted them.
The fall of the Bonaparte family is also a dangerous warning to these people. The first domino falls, who knows who will be the next one?
Therefore, the royal families of various European countries still support the Bonaparte family to some extent!
Of course, Napoleon III is finished, and no one cares about him now, but don't forget that he still has a son with a good reputation.
Crown Prince Eugène, the future Napoleon IV, was young, handsome, upright, and outstandingly capable... What’s even more interesting is that during the chaos in Paris, the Crown Prince personally took to the streets to negotiate with the marching citizens.
He has indeed influenced a large number of people with his personality charm and the good governance he implemented by himself. In fact, countless French people still have a good impression of him in their hearts!
Look, after we calculated it, the Bonaparte family actually has a lot of cards!
Now that we release it, how excited do you think these royalist forces in France will be? Will they jump up and down in tandem?
Do the farmers in the South still have the heart to support the Republic? Who will the aristocratic capitalists with ulterior motives give their tax money to?
"Hahaha..." Xiao Letian laughed heartily, "As soon as the sick tiger of the French Emperor comes out of prison, all political forces in France will be in commotion!"
"Originally, these people in Paris wanted to trap the city because they felt that time was an advantage for them. The longer it was delayed, the better it would be for them..."
"But once the French Emperor comes out, time will be their enemy... The longer they delay, the greater the variables in France will be. The royalists will attack them desperately and try to pry their corners..."
"The correct strategy of delay and persistence will be described by the royalists as a policy of non-resistance, and they will try their best to say bad things in the ears of the people..."
"All the ignorant people in France will curse the new republic together, and the 26-member committee will become a synonym for cowardice and be crumbling..."
"If something like this really happens, what can the left and right in Paris do?"
"Haha... They can only continue to change their tactics. They can only be forced to go out of the city to fight with us when the situation is not optimistic, or to break out..."
"Okay, now the situation has changed immediately... We have become the defensive side, and they have become the attacking side... They are fighting us in the areas we are good at. Do you think we still need to be afraid of them?"
"Hahaha... so good... wonderful, really wonderful! How on earth did you get such a brain..." Bismarck suddenly laughed.
How on earth would Prussia treat the French Emperor? There is actually no answer to this question, because William I and Napoleon III have always been regarded as brothers.
This was the characteristic of European diplomacy at that time. The competition between countries was very cruel, but the royal family still had to pretend to be a family.
People like William I and Bismarck could kill 10,000 French civilians without any pressure, but they would never kill a French emperor.
As long as the king does not kill the king, there can be wars between nobles, but they must not lead to a fight to the death!
This is actually a kind of unspoken rule in Europe for thousands of years. This is actually a set of rules for everyone to protect themselves. I really want to see you in the future if you stay on the safe side!
If I spare the life of the French Emperor today, another king might spare my life tomorrow. During the cruel European feudal dynastic wars, such unspoken rules saved the lives of countless nobles.
Prussia must also abide by such unspoken rules, so it sent the surrendered French Emperor to Fort William!
What exactly is Fort William? People who don’t understand European history will definitely not understand, but Xiao Letian knows very well that Kassel, a famous historical city in Germany, is the third largest city in the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
There is Mount William here, with a bronze statue of the Greek Hercules on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a gorgeous palace, which is also commonly known as Fort William.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon, the great hero, swept through Central Europe. In 1807, he established the Kingdom of Westphalia in central Germany and enfeoffed his younger brother Jerome Bonaparte as the King of Westphalia. The capital was located in Kassel.
