2581 Letter of the Wise

"Dear old friend, I am very happy to receive your letter. The wisdom you reveal between the lines amazes me. Thank you for your support for our revolutionary cause, and thank you for your 1,000 pound checks you sent with the letter..."

"The revolution in France was very difficult to carry out. Our comrades lacked weapons and ammunition and even had basic activities. At this time, any support was a timely help for us..."

"I know your life is not well-off. It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort..."

"While thanking you for your guidance on our career, I also have some opinions that I want to state to you, hoping that we can find common ground under different contradictions..."

Under the dim oil lamp, Blanc was writing quickly, and beautiful fountain pens appeared on the paper in a string, which was his thoughts dancing on it.

Blankey was replying to the old bearded friend in London. He was a friend for more than ten years. They had a common ideal and a common cause. Both of them were resolute revolutionaries who were anti-imperialist, anti-feudal and anti-oppression.

They care about the lives of the extremely poor, the revolt of the working class, and devote themselves to leading the helpless workers in search of happiness.

However, the paths the two people took were different. Blankey was a practical faction. He participated in many demonstrations and armed uprisings. He educated many people to follow him and act together.

This is a practical faction, of course, the enemy that the French government hates the most, so he has been in prison for a longer life than outside. This time he came to Belgium because he really couldn't survive in France and had to go into political exile.

The old friend of bearded in Paris is a theoretical school. In the bearded man's consciousness, if the poor people in the world want to fight against the powerful, they must have a theory to support it, and they cannot act recklessly with a stingy mind.

Therefore, the bearded man has been studying in poverty in London over the years. Although the bearded man is hated by European governments, he is not sent to prison to fight and kill.

The bearded man couldn't stay in Germany anymore, and he couldn't make it even when he came to France and was beaten by secret police. In the end, he could only hide in London, England and study hard with the support of his old friends.

Although the bearded man lived a hard life, he and his friends always cared about the workers' movements across Europe, and left a little money in the gap between his teeth to fund these workers' movements.

This time, the bearded man gave Blankey one thousand pounds, which was really a huge sum of money at that time, because it was an era of gold standard, even if you had banknotes in your hand, it was linked to the same amount of gold.

In that era, a blue-collar worker in London had a monthly salary of only two or three pounds, and it was unimaginable that a female worker could earn more than one pound.

One pound can buy 40 pounds of bread in London plus 10 pounds of fresh meat, 20 pounds of vegetables and 20 pounds of fruit, 8 pounds of sugar and 15 pounds of tea, 24 newspapers and 60 pounds of refined coal…

In this way, the three pounds a blue-collar worker per month are enough for a small family to live... But unfortunately, only those blue-collar technical jobs, the technical workers who are urgently needed in factories, can earn this money.

Ordinary workers simply cannot earn so much salary. In this way, the one thousand pounds funded by the bearded man can be seen as precious.

Just this amount of money is enough for the working class in France to print illegal flyers for two months, which are enough to spread all over the streets of French cities from morning to night.

Of course, Blankey didn't know that the thousand pounds were actually secretly funded by Xiao Lotte. When Xiao Lotte left London, he once gave him some money to the bearded man as a fund. Unexpectedly, the bearded man didn't leave much for himself at all, and most of them were donated.

Blankey was very grateful to the timely help of Big Beard, but he also had some different opinions on the suggestions in some of the letters of Big Beard.

First of all, the bearded man expressed concern about their previous compromise actions. Bearded man expressed his absolute distrust of the emperor between the lines, and made a clear statement that all this was the fraud of the emperor, and Napoleon III would not compromise with the working class at all.

In the letter, the bearded man made it clear that the rulers’ compromise was just to delay time for their dynasty. What Napoleon III had to do was to provoke war, and he wanted to transfer domestic crises through war.

Because the internal contradictions in France are now uncontrollable, and it is not something that Napoleon III can influence the influence. He is completely helpless about the current domestic situation.

This person can only rely on war to divert hatred and rely on the gamble of war to gamble on his own destiny. If he wins, he can use the flesh and blood of the Prussians to nourish the gap between the rich and the poor in France, thereby exchanging the crisis.

Therefore, Napoleon III didn’t want to talk to the working class at all, nor did he want to give up his power. Everything was a scam. Your retreat could only make him more domineering and impossible to fundamentally solve the problem.

Even this compromise is in exchange for more serious massacre and suppression in the future!

Blankey looked at the bearded reminder and he could even smell the bloody smell between the lines!

Bronkey fell into deep thought. Of course, he had to accept reminders from his old friends, but in Bronkey's heart he thought the bearded man was a bit alarmist.

After thinking about it, he decided to write a letter to his old friend and carefully introduce his true thoughts!

"Dear old friend, I have thought about your reminder for a long time... I must admit that what you said makes a lot of sense, but you should not forget that I am a Frenchman after all, and I am a member of the French nation first..."

"When this nation has a serious crisis or even reaches the brink of war, how can I watch my nation fall into a situation of failure?"

"I have no choice when the nation is in danger!"

Under the dim candlelight, Blankey wrote the letter for two hours, and at the end of the letter, he talked about the current situation.

"Dear old friend, based on information from multiple parties... At this moment, the life and death of the head of the Eastern Front is unknown. Many channels have stated that the initiator of this assassination is the Emperor..."

"If the facts prove that this is true in the end! If the head of state of the East really dies, then the situation may be even more corrupt..."

"Prussia will definitely escalate the war. At that time, the scale of the war will only be upgraded without any ease..."
