Fighting spread from every street in Paris. The French Civil War, which shocked the whole world, finally erupted like a volcano under the watchful eyes of all countries.
Both sides could no longer suppress their anger. The Third Republic represented by Thiers had ten thousand reasons to destroy the illegal organization of the Paris Commune.
And every poor person in the Paris Commune had ten thousand reasons for suffering that forced him to take to the streets to fight!
This is a civil war with no fairness or justice. It is just two classes fighting for the right to survive!
Are the people suffering? They are so miserable that they even have no food to eat. The cruel reality like a quagmire drags them generation after generation into the abyss of poverty, hunger, and disease forever!
The capitalists, aristocrats, royalists, landlords and gentry also have difficulties. This war has destroyed the French social order, all survival has come to a standstill, and social logistics have been destroyed...
What does this mean? This means that business operations have been destroyed and fragmented, which means that except for some nobles and capitalists who are linked to arms and can still make profits, businessmen in any other industry are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Maybe there are sausages and bread tonight, but tomorrow the factories will be forced to come and the banks will come to collect debts... Even the loan sharks are worried.
Social order has been seriously damaged, and the principal they have lent can no longer be recovered, and many creditors have even disappeared out of thin air!
"What is that Paris Commune? Why do the poor stop paying back the money once they join it? Don't pay the rent? Even the pawned items are given to them for free. Why is that?"
The bourgeoisie are also shouting, because they have already seen the edge of the cliff, and they will soon be completely overwhelmed by this chaos!
The two sides have no time to fight any longer. The so-called peaceful negotiations are simply impossible because both sides have no time!
Xiao Letian knew the secrets here very well, because more than 70% of the supplies in the Paris Commune were sold and transported by him. Those older girls and younger wives may never know that the mountains of supplies in the warehouse were actually sent in by the enemy. of.
Are there a lot of these supplies? In the eyes of a little girl with little knowledge, these supplies are as high and vast as the Alps.
But that's just a little girl's illusion. A can of tropical fruit can make her feel the sweetness of first love. What insight can such a person have?
In Xiao Letian's eyes, these supplies are simply not enough to consume the 300,000 soldiers of the Paris Commune for two months. If the fighting intensity intensifies, then these supplies will last for one and a half months.
Blanqui was arrested, and the leaders of the other communes were in disarray. They had cut off contact with Xiao Letian, which meant that no one could get strategic materials anymore.
The feeling of sitting on nothing is too terrible. This failure will definitely be hell in the end!
"Today's situation is like a straw fighting a wolf with two sides afraid of it. It is precisely because both sides are afraid that they kill more miserably!"
"If Thiers' faction loses, then countless capitalists and nobles across France will go bankrupt and turn from rich clothes and fine food into beggars!"
"Blanqui's group is even worse. If they lose, everyone in the entire commune will not be able to survive. They have reached the bottom of the abyss. If they fail, they will only die!"
"This is fate! No one can change it!"
In Xiao Letian's headquarters, a small coal stove in the canvas tent was burning red, and a pot of coffee was exuding aroma on the stove.
No one expected that the head of state would sit in the lower seat, while an old woman in her fifties would sit in the main seat, with a kind face that exuded a holy light!
"Dear Head of State, I came to you because I know that you have some secret communication channels with those in the Paris Commune..."
"All I hope is to save more people in this fateful killing. Even if there is only one life, it is mercy!"
Xiao Letian frowned, "You really created a problem for me. Once I intervene, will I face strong diplomatic pressure?"
"What will Germany think? What will the republican government of Thiers consider? What will the kings and aristocratic capitalists of various European countries think of me?"
"Will they regard me as an enemy? I have to consider these things!"
The old woman smiled and said, "I don't care about these, these are the problems you should solve as a politician... I just want to save people, the more the better!"
"We can't save them! There are 300,000 National Guard troops, 300,000 government troops, and more than 3 million poor people among them... How many of these people can you save?"
Just as he was talking, a soldier's loud voice suddenly sounded from the door of the military tent: "The new French First Division has moved to the Île de la Cité. The vanguard and the Commune Guard are exchanging fire... The regular army is firing!"
"Listen, the cannons have already sounded! You don't understand military affairs. Nowadays, as long as both sides use cannons in a war, it proves that this is irreconcilable!"
"There was a conflict between General Trochu and the Commune before, but the scale of the two sides was limited to shooting and cold weapons fighting... At that time, there was no artillery fire at all, but today the cannon has fired!"
"You want me to save people, but I really don't have the ability! Besides, I can't save them. What's the point of saving so many eighteen hundred people?"
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers' report came to mind again outside, "Report... The Paris Commune has begun to counterattack! The artillery positions on the Montmartre Heights have begun firing!"
The old woman stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian, "Führer! I still have to save people, and you must also save people!"
"My God, why did you come to me? Wouldn't it be better to go to Bismarck?" Xiao Letian was almost driven crazy by this woman.
"No, I'm just looking for you! Because you have the most convenient conditions... First of all, the Paris Commune hates the Germans more than the Chinese!"
"If Bismarck comes forward to provide humanitarian relief! Those arrogant French people will not appreciate it!"
"Secondly, you have always had secret connections with the Paris Commune. You purchased cultural relics lost in the Old Summer Palace and European antiques through them, and Blanqui was able to obtain food, medicine and other materials from you..."
"You are already cooperating, so if you continue to cooperate...those people will not be too resistant!"
The old woman smiled and said, "Thirdly... I know that you have a close relationship with the bearded man in London. With his credit endorsement, the people in the commune will not resist you..."
"Look, I don't know anything about you! But I won't harm you, and I have no other requirements... I just want to save people, and save a lot of people!"
"You just said that we may not be able to save many people because of our weak strength... That is not a problem. Even if we can only save one person, our actions are not meaningless!"
Boom boom boom... The muffled thunderous sound of cannons came from the distant city wall, and the whole city of Paris was shaking. Xiao Letian's face was uncertain as he listened to the sound of cannons!
"Why do you rely on me? I only have a few thousand people under my command. It's really not enough..."
"Even if I want to help, I don't have the money... If you ask me to help, how much money are you prepared to pay?"
