It has not been until the Franco-Prussian War that Parisians truly realize that this is a war!
This nation has a very unhealthy romantic sentiment. Even if the leftists are making revolution, their hearts are filled with ideal romanticism. Top novels are updated the fastest
Not to mention these ordinary citizens, they even regarded this war as a magical drama in which everyone was an actor.
Since the beginning of the war, everyone has participated in endless protests and demonstrations. They have gathered into a river, shouting and singing hysterically to vent their emotions.
Xiao Letian once attended a psychology course in his previous life. He knew that many happy feelings in humans stem from the secretion of dopamine in the brain.
A good meal, a love affair, a bottle of good wine, or even a pack of addictive opium... These things can stimulate the brain to release dopamine and bring people a feeling of happiness.
And this kind of collective release of emotions releases a huge amount of dopamine for each person. It may not be comparable to drugs, but at least it is more than what is released by stimuli such as cigarettes, wine, and food.
If you don’t believe it, you can carefully recall the mentality of people when they are watching the excitement. If two beauties are fighting on the street and start tearing off their clothes, look at the excitement of the people around them.
Everyone's eyes are red, they forget about the heat in summer, they don't feel cold in winter anymore, and they can't care about the hunger and thirst in their stomachs. Everyone devotes themselves wholeheartedly to this kind of sex.
Whenever I see an exciting place, I will all shout in unison, "Tear it apart! Tear it to the top of the thigh! Oh oh oh..."
This kind of conformity will definitely bring some inexplicable pleasure, and this pleasure is definitely related to the secretion of dopamine in the brain!
Because of this, people especially like to watch beheadings, suicides, and fights... When others are about to jump off buildings, he is cheering on others, and even eating steamed buns with human blood after beheading is because it can stimulate dopamine. Secretion is indeed exciting!
Don't talk about the Chinese people. In fact, Westerners also have the same virtue. There was a period in the Middle Ages when the Holy See killed witches indiscriminately.
Many women were arrested for no reason and treated as witches and tortured to extract confessions. They stripped off the witches' clothes and used torture instruments to stimulate and torture the women's sensitive organs in public.
Every time there was an execution, thousands of people would turn out to watch the excitement. When the torture rack was finally set on fire, people were even happier than Christmas.
At that time, a local newspaper in Germany once recorded a real incident. In order to watch a public torture of a witch a hundred kilometers away, a knight rode all night. In the end, he stumbled and broke his neck. .
This is really exciting to watch!
Human nature has been like this since ancient times. It is always very satisfying to vent emotions in public. In the 21st century, sociologists have done research. Whenever there is a large-scale demonstration in a city in Europe and the United States.
Don’t worry about the reason. Anyway, as long as there are demonstrations, the sales of condoms and contraceptive pills in the city during that period will increase by 30%-50%.
What does this mean? This shows that the ** has stimulated the emotions of the people, and the excited spirit needs to be vented. People actually regard this kind of thing as a sudden carnival, and that kind of happiness cannot be wasted!
Paris is a very obvious example. The entire citizen class loves all kinds of demonstrations and marches, using slogans of justice to release dissatisfaction in life, and a sense of happiness naturally arises.
Someone shouted, declare war on Prussia and fight to Berlin! Naturally, someone will echo it, and then the streets will burst into cheers!
Someone shouted, eliminate the gap between rich and poor, and all the rich people will be bled one by one! Of course there will be hundreds of thousands of people sharpening their knives and cheering excitedly!
Sedan was defeated, and the painful things needed to be vented!
The empire collapsed and the Republic was established. Exciting things also need to be vented!
In the eyes of these people, war is a magical drama, and the miserable scenes of corpses littering the front line are as artistic as the background on the curtain!
But today, when the Prussians mobilized a large number of artillery shells, finally opened up the supply line, and finally made up their minds to fight a decisive battle...
This absurd magic drama was shattered in one fell swoop, and the entire Parisian people woke up from their sleep!
It turns out that this is what it feels like to have artillery bombing around you!
It turns out that having your home blown into a sea of flames is not romantic at all!
It turns out that I am not excited at all when my relatives die in front of me!
It turns out...this is war!
Miserable cries spread throughout the city, and the sky was filled with hail-like artillery shells. Although the power of artillery shells in this era was not as powerful as those in World War I and World War II.
However, the quality of buildings in this era was also very average. Reinforced concrete buildings had not yet begun to be used, so buildings continued to collapse and catch fire during shelling.
Paris finally became a hell. The closer to the city wall, the more miserable the city became. People looked into the distance like ants on a hot pot. The doomsday scenes scared the citizens of Paris.
At this moment, no one was shouting wildly anymore, and the prostitutes who performed naked satirical plays were nowhere to be seen. The demonstrators who had been drinking wine before were now unknown to be buried in the ruins.
In this bombardment, Prussia fired a total of 100,000 shells, and the bombardment lasted for five hours!
Bismarck stood on the tall wooden watchtower of the military camp, looking at the burning Paris with a sneer, "Look at the absolute strength of iron and fire! You French guys who love to talk!"
"Victory only belongs to the powerful! Your democracy is worthless under my cannon!"
"Pass my order and ask the Zeppelin to cooperate and launch an attack on Bastion No. 1 in Nancheng. It's time for these fools to wake up!"
"Ruling a country is never a dream!"
Bismarck will never let the French control the rhythm. He requires the army to take the initiative to attack, disrupt the deployment of the French army, and finally resolve this war once and for all!
In the city of Paris, cries suddenly rang out, and the songs of Marseillaise began to float in the midst of the cries!
This time, there was no fanaticism and excitement in their singing. This time they really tasted the pain of the mountains and rivers about to be broken!
The first large-scale bloody battle in the siege of Paris broke out in the southeast of Paris, at the Porte du Chalente. A division of the French army was attacked by a Prussian reinforcement with three times the strength.
What's more serious is that there are Zeppelin airships slowly approaching in the sky, and there are resources from the Prussian artillery regiment in the distance!
The bastion outside the Charenton Gate can annex two thousand people. It is marked as Bastion No. 1 on the Prussian military map. This is the only way for the French army to break through!
Everyone knows the importance of this strategic location, and the two sides refused to give in and began the decisive battle!
The artillery on both sides began to cover the fire. Although the Prussian artillery was of high quality, the French army hid more of its artillery in the bastion. The French army could safely and boldly shoot outward without worrying about safety issues.
The only thing that worried them was the Zeppelin airship in the sky, but they also had a way to deal with it. When the airship approached the sky above the fortress, the soldiers at the top of the fortress quickly evacuated to avoid the bombing.
The airship dropped bags of gunfire in the sky, and thick smoke suddenly billowed out from the No. 1 bastion. Then a company of soldiers descended from the airship along the rope ladder.
This is still a classic tactic of the Chinese people. The Prussian army also organized a group of soldiers to imitate it and wanted to fight a special operation!
But they never expected that the French army had no retreat, and they launched a desperate charge against the attacking Prussian troops!
