2604 Cut off the Emperor's roots

"Wars may break out at any time. Every day from April, the outbreak of war may grow exponentially!"

In the secret army fortress of Berlin, Xiao Letianzheng, Beismai, Lao Mokchi and others research every detail of the French war.

The huge oak table is as big as forty square meters, and above it is an extremely huge French border sand table. On it, it restores mountains, rivers, road passes in real proportions, and solid wood statues representing the army are placed on the sand table.

Above the sand table, a crossed iron ladder was placed on it. The female secretary in a beautiful dress was using a long stick to move the war games on the sand table, and from time to time placed the latest war games in designated positions.

Looking up from Xiao Letian's perspective, you can easily appreciate the scenery under the skirt, but these war madmen have fallen into a more exciting job. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is a red pink skeleton in their eyes.

Pierre has now received the entire intelligence analysis team, and he keeps providing the latest statistics to the meeting.

"Dear sirs, the latest news in Paris has been delivered. Blankey has arrived in Paris two days ago. He is taking turns to visit the leaders of various trade unions, and even going deep into the slums to talk to ordinary workers..."

"The French side has dispatched the most elite spy and is following up and investigating the whole process...Bronge seems to be unable to escape from Paris anymore. I just calculated that the probability of his attempt to escape from Paris this time is less than 4%!"

Pismey held the table with both hands and stared at France's territory. The war games that were slowly gathering towards the northern border were extremely serious.

"How did Napoleon III react at this moment?"

Pierre flipped through the intelligence list. "When the news that the head of state survived the disaster came out, the French emperor lost control for more than 25 minutes, and there was chaos in the Duille palace..."

"At this moment, we are accusing him of being the mastermind behind the murder in newspapers across Europe, and the Emperor is desperately denying it, and his royal newspaper is fighting back..."

"However, our attacks are all in Europe, and their counterattacks are limited to those pro-French countries... In the long run, the Emperor of Public Opinion will become more and more popular!"

Xiao Letian looked at the sand table, France was increasing in number of war games. He said with a gloomy face, "Where is the French overseas corps? How many have they been back at this moment?"

"Sorry, the Head of State, we are only concerned about setting up domestic French corps. Overseas corps are ready now..."

The female secretary above her head quickly got busy, and her leather shoes were slamming back and forth on the iron ladder. After a while, models of warships and merchant ships were placed on the sand table in the blue ocean area.

"It has been eight months since the French emperor ordered the mobilization of overseas corps. France has transferred more than 115,000 people..."

"What? Only 110,000!" Xiao Letian looked up at the female secretary who was reporting the data in disbelief.

The female secretary only knew whether the trousers in her skirt were thick. She didn't understand military and national affairs, so it was Lao Mao Qi who solved Xiao Letian's doubts.

"First of the People! Don't have any expectations for the French's administrative efficiency. It's an excessively bureaucratic atmosphere. To be honest, I'm deeply suspicious of the number 110,000!"

"Those government departments probably have counted all the soldiers who have just boarded the colony! Efficiency is never the French..."

Xiao Letian carefully considered, "Pierre... what we want is the Emperor of the Francisco to declare war on his own initiative. What about your statistics yesterday?"

"Here... I made a preliminary judgment based on the summary of intelligence data from multiple parties! In May, France's proactive declaration of war was only 15%, the possibility of June increased to 36%, and by July the possibility of war returned to 75%..."

"If the war breaks out in August, it may be possible to return to more than 94%! This is a judgment based on the domestic preparations for France and the intensity of domestic conflicts!"

"How much is the probability that the worker movement led by Blankey will increase the Franciscans' chances of declaring war?" Xiao Letian asked.

"6%... This data should have been higher, but the French prince performed well in the previous riots, and the French continued to advocate nationalism, so the differentiation weakened the workers' resistance!"

"It cannot be like this, absolutely not like this... France must be in chaos! Napoleon III must be forced to declare war early, and France must not wait until France is fully prepared!"

"July is the final deadline, and the Emperor must be forced to declare war in July!" Xiao Letian stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.

Everyone knew that Xiao Letian was thinking, and no one would disturb him. Even Bei Smai looked at Xiao Letian with interest.

After a quarter of an hour, Xiao Letian held his hand on the edge of the sand table and looked at the huge French terrain map, as if he was talking to himself.

"My friends, we must carefully study Napoleon III... how he succeeded, and where is his legitimacy!"

"Who can tell me where the foundation of Napoleon III's rule is? Why are so many people in France accepting the restoration?"

"I think the answer to all questions is here!"

Xiao Letian pointed at Paris and said, "Napoleon III has no way out. He only has one choice for war... because he knew very clearly that the legitimacy of his rule lies in the glory brought to the entire France by the Bonaparte family!"

"The French chose Napoleon III because of glory! If he could not continue to glorify the French people, then what awaited him was either war or revolution!"

"So he will definitely start a war, he will definitely take the initiative to start a war to protect a hero like himself!"

"The French people are so romantic. They will fall into the glory of illusory victory and temporarily forget the hardships of life. The effect of spiritual opium will be greater than that of bread and milk... Of course that is temporary!"

"And these people who are keen and have low expectations of usury also hope to dig out blood and flesh from Prussia to calm the conflicts and contradictions in China..."

"After all, the French emperor wanted to use Prussian money to subsidize the miserable life of the French people!"

"Haha... there are even countless French people at the bottom who also have this kind of fantasy and extravagance! They think that their poor life can be changed by going out to rob!"

"What a stupid person! They didn't think about it. Even if there were benefits, the meat would be eaten by the kings and nobles. What could the people eat? The broth is not full!"

"Just do it like this! Prime Minister, let our public opinion machine run at full speed, and start attacking the Emperor from what I said! Start digging his roots from his ruling foundation!"

"At the latest, it is July. We must force the Emperor to declare war on his own initiative! We must start the war rashly without his preparation!"
