"Shut up!" Blanqui growled with a dark face, "Is all we do just fighting for power? So what's the difference between us and these lackeys of the capitalists and the emperor's minions?"
"I would rather not have such an opportunity to come to power. Bazin's surrender completely released the Prussian siege army. At least 300,000 Prussian troops will be released to join the siege of Paris and the confrontation in Orleans..."
"The motherland is in danger! The first thing we need to think about now is to save this country!"
Everyone was silent after these words, but unexpectedly, someone behind the crowd actually whispered and raised objections, "Actually...it's not that serious..."
"Who?" Everyone yelled and turned around to see that it was Raoul Rigaud.
Li Gao didn't care what others thought of him. He just stared into Blanqui's eyes and suppressed the excitement in his heart. "Teacher... Actually, the current situation is still very beneficial to us!"
"Bazin has surrendered. They have taken away the charge of treason. These lackeys of the capitalists and the emperor's minions have completely taken the blame..."
"At this time, we took the opportunity to come to power and immediately started negotiations with the Prussians... What these Prussians want is just compensation, isn't it just money? We in France don't lack this money..."
"Give them as much as they want... Only in this way can the Prussian government recognize the legitimacy of our regime!"
"Right now it's Prussia, maybe tomorrow it will be Germany. Even the enemies on the battlefield have recognized our regime, and other countries can't say anything!"
"Even if we use money to buy it, we also need to buy the legitimacy of a political power! As long as our commune is given a chance to breathe for ten years, we have nothing to fear!"
"What did you say?" People yelled before Raoul Rigaud could finish his words. "You son of a bitch, do you also want to betray your country? You bastard, do you want a beating?"
Varlan and Duval rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to hit someone, but were stopped by Blanqui. "Let him finish! I want to hear Mr. Ligao's plan..."
"Raoul Rigault! Let me ask you, where does the money come from? War compensation is measured in hundreds of millions. Where do we get the money? Are we exploiting the people like these corrupt guys?"
Raoulli frowned and replied, "Money is a bastard. If you lose it today, you can make it back tomorrow. As long as the government has a few years of hard life, you can still get ahead!"
"If it doesn't work, we still have a colony! We can exploit the people in the colony, and those savages are just a waste of food!"
"First stabilize our political power, and then think about money! I have never considered money to be a difficulty..."
Blanqui sneered and said, "Okay, okay... Even if money is not an issue, what if Bismarck has territorial intentions? What if he asks us to cede the land?"
"Give!" Raoul Rigaud said categorically, "There are so many colonies in France, even if you give them half, it will be worth it as long as it can keep our commune alive!"
"Hahaha... It's incredible, it's incredible! Let me ask you again, if William I doesn't want overseas colonies, what if he wants our mainland? What if they force us to cede Alsace and Lorraine!"
Li Gao was stunned for a moment and then gritted his molar teeth and said, "In urgent matters, we must first take care of the stability of our political power... Negotiate with them and try to bargain as much as possible... If it doesn't work... then give it to them!"
"Asshole!" Varlan couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his hand and opened his mouth with a loud snap, which made blood flow from the corner of Raoul Rigault's mouth.
"You are also a traitor! Do you have a black heart for betraying the interests of your motherland and nation?"
Li Gao silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, don't you understand? The struggle is always life and death. Survival is bigger than the sky!"
"The external enemies are scary, but the enemies outside only want money and profits! The enemies inside want our lives!"
"Money or life is more important? The French motherland suffers a little, but our commune can survive..."
"That's enough! Stop talking... The country's vitality is severely damaged. It's no longer time for us to do whatever we want, and the current situation may not go as you say..."
At the critical moment, Blanqui suppressed the situation, and he was also very conflicted in his heart. His simple patriotism and a little national sentiment were mixed with the desire to fight for power in the political arena.
He is patriotic, but he also loves this commune and their common ideals. In fact, there is a voice in Blanqui's heart reminding him, 'What Li Gao said is right, what Li Gao said makes sense! '
But how could he admit it!
At this moment, cheers suddenly erupted from the Palais Bourbon opposite, and the tricolor flag on the roof was torn off by people and thrown to the ground, with a red flag hanging on it.
"Long live the Commune! I declare that the Provisional Government of National Defense...is officially dissolved!"
A tall, bearded man wearing overalls climbed to the roof of the Bourbon Palace to announce the dissolution of the provisional government to thousands of people outside.
People went crazy, they clapped, cheered, and jumped as if all France's problems were solved at this moment!
All the members of the provisional government fled at this moment, and no one even knew where General Trochu was at this moment. The so-called election began in the chaotic Bourbon Palace.
People shouted the names of leftist leaders such as Blanqui, Delecluse, Rochefort, etc., and cheered that the Commune had taken over the political power of all France.
The people were fanatical, but Blanqui and others were very calm. He did not show up for the so-called election in the Bourbon Palace throughout the afternoon. Only the second and third-tier leaders in the commune showed up, such as Raoul Rigaud and others.
Blanqui knew very well that their actions were fundamentally illegal and that they could not exercise the rights of a government without parliamentary authorization.
Because the Parliament represents all of France, and these cheering workers only represent the people of Paris!
If you rush to the stage to give a speech or even issue an order to the whole of France, then these orders will be regarded as waste paper when they are sent to all the provinces of France and even the towns below.
The workers love you Blanqui, but that doesn’t mean that the majority of French farmers do too, and it doesn’t mean that more capitalists support you!
"The plan for now is to quickly control the army!" Blanqui secretly ordered his men to contact the Paris garrison, hoping that these troops could jointly participate in the military operation against Prussia for the sake of national justice.
"Gentlemen! If our commune wants to win the support of all the French people, it must fight a beautiful counterattack or breakout battle under the city of Paris..."
"I want to organize a powerful army, force a breakout to the south, defeat the Prussians blocking the way, and join forces with Gambetta's Southern Corps..."
"Only with such a victory can we be qualified to form the future French government with Cambie, and can we truly gain the support of the entire French people!"
Rochefort frowned, "Breaking out? Will it give people a bad impression of abandoning Paris?"
Blanqui shook his head and said, "Instead of all breaking through, organize a hundred thousand elites to break out to the south...Our National Guard will continue to stay in the city!"
"Fight these Prussians in street battles, engage in naval battles... drag them to death, and let the continued expansion of casualties exhaust their national strength!"
"You have to trade your life for your life!" Blanqui said fiercely.
