In the civil war in Paris, the Thiers government announced that there were about 30,000 civilian casualties, but the Chinese and German statistics were quite different.
Later historians were more accepting of Chinese statistics. After all, the head of state once set up the Peace Hotel at the Porte de Chapelle and personally rescued refugees.
Sister Nightingale of the Red Cross also testified about the Chinese data in her memoirs, which shows that the Chinese statistics are scientific and reliable.
The whole civil war in Paris... yes, it was a civil war and not a riot as the French often say!
In this civil war, the Paris National Guard and innocent citizens had a total of 100,000 dead and missing, and countless more injured and disabled.
In addition, after the war, the Versailles court exiled more than 7,000 people and tried more than 1,000 people in absentia!
After the Civil War, the prosperous Paris was reduced to ruins. Dozens of landmark buildings including the Tuileries Palace, Opera House, Ministry of the Interior, City Hall... were burned down, and nearly two-thirds of the Champs Elysees was gorgeous. Shops were damaged.
The air was filled with the stench of burning corpses and the stench of decay. Coupled with the pungent smell of burning wood, tar, kerosene and other items, the whole of Paris turned into a putrid hell.
Looking into the city from the observation tower of the Peace Hotel, the entire city was shrouded in a faint gray-black smoke. It was the soul of human beings who died in vain and the dying breath of luxurious Paris, entangled together to form unwilling resentment vented in the air.
The Seine has become a river of corpses, with floating corpses floating up and down in the river. From time to time, schools of fish rush up to bite the corpses... The French have stopped eating freshwater fish since the Revolution, and the scene now is even more disgusting!
The war had just ended, and the wealthy people who gathered in Versailles couldn't wait to return to Paris. Men and women in exquisite little carriages carried men and women in fine clothes and began to go home to take stock of their property losses.
Of course, there are also some people who have taken the property next door to their own homes. After all, in this civil war, too many families were wiped out by the whole family, and the properties they left behind have become the meat of many parties.
As long as you can bribe government officials, you can buy the land rights of half a street at the lowest price!
Making money from war and dead people is their specialty. Even women who usually scream in fear when seeing bees are no longer afraid of corpses all over the streets.
The lady counting the spoils of war, wearing a skirt that exaggeratedly held up the hem, even used a parasol to poke the dead neighbor's body... The neighbor's wife who often competed with him for wealth was now a shameful piece of white flesh in the ruins.
"Bah... Damn bitch, are you using this dirty body to seduce my husband? Why is there no movement now..."
The noble lady who was venting her anger quickly squatted on the ground and pulled out the blood-stained and dusty ring from the corpse's finger when she saw no one was around.
"Oh...here comes...why did Mrs. Gena die here...oh my sister..."
Seeing three handsome government army officers coming from a distance, the rosy lady immediately acted like a pitiful little woman, earning the sympathy of the three officers.
Across the street from this farce, there were long lines of prisoners from the commune heading towards Versailles. They were all poor citizens who were about to be tried.
The rich people who came in stood on the carriages and looked down at the poor devils going to their deaths, their eyes full of vicious hatred.
With the support of her young aristocratic boyfriend, the beautiful lady actually walked to the side of the long line of 'criminals'. The lady took out a small and exquisite Bible from her pocket.
He arrogantly scolded a female commune warrior, "Sinner, come and confess your sins to the Bible!"
But all this was met with the rejection of the female soldier. The young lady was so angry that she picked up a parasol and started beating the criminals, even knocking off her earlobes, while the soldiers guarding them laughed loudly and no one interfered.
Catholic priests and priests also returned to the city, apparently angered by the death of the Archbishop of Dawapur, and these clergymen became inquisitors before the tribunal.
Before these prisoners even entered the court, they had already sentenced the criminals to death one after another!
The fat priest no longer knew how to baptize the daughters of several criminals. When he walked out of the broken house, his legs were already shaking.
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared from the corner of the street. A group of yellow-skinned soldiers marched upright, escorting several high-ranking officials in uniform who were watching what was happening in front of them.
The priest and the noble officers did not have the disdainful expressions they had seen on Asians in the past. Instead, they gave way respectfully, and many of them even took off their hats and bowed.
"The Chinese are coming! The Chinese are coming... Look at the man in the middle, isn't he the head of state Xiao Letian?"
"God, hasn't he left yet? How long will he stay in France..."
Xiao Letian is indeed ready to leave. This is his last visit to Paris. He wants to see the ugliness of these people with his own eyes!
During the entire Paris Civil War, the Peace Hotel rescued a total of 11,500 refugees. The number was not large compared to the entire city, but this was already a good deed praised by all of Europe!
More than 10,000 people survived because of him, which made the French have a very complicated mentality towards these Chinese invaders.
In fact, I know that the Chinese people still don't understand this refugee camp that wastes people and money. They don't know why the president spent more than 7 million francs to save these people from the enemy country.
But history will prove Xiao Letian's wisdom. This emotional investment of more than 7 million has resulted in long-term cooperation between the Red Cross and the Chinese.
Under the influence of Nightingale, Ryukyu opened a nursing school belonging to the Red Cross Society, cultivating a large number of talents for the Chinese medical career.
More importantly, such kind deeds have made the French people's hatred of the Chinese more complicated. At least the leftists who are close to the people at the bottom have abandoned the pedantic concept of national hatred.
In the years that followed, when various conflicts broke out again between France and the Chinese, French society was never able to form a joint force that could absolutely confront the Chinese.
Even during the several wars that broke out, the left-wing forces in France kept flirting with the Chinese and provided countless important intelligence internally!
"The enemy is never monolithic... You have to remember! If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first study their own internal contradictions!"
"Discover and use them...Look at all this. The brutal killings of Thiers and McMahon can only delay the next revolution..."
"Hate will not disappear for no reason. Retribution will follow this country like a shadow forever..."
Looking at the scene in hell in front of him, Xiao Letian said with emotion, but at this moment a cavalryman galloped towards him from afar.
"Report! Report to the head of state... Prime Minister Bismarck has also come to visit Paris. I heard that you are here and are on your way..."
