2624 Battle Songs Fill the City

What is France’s greatest contribution to the world? I think many historians will recommend the French Revolution first!

Although this revolution is full of blood, violence, and chaos... it is undeniable that it was this revolution that opened the curtain of the mortal world.

Almost all the political rights that we modern people have come from that revolution, because it was in that revolution that the concept of natural human rights was proposed.

Before that, there was no concept of equality for everyone in the human world, and hierarchical differentiation was not even a kind of oppression, but became a common sense in life.

At that time, the people at the bottom were ruled by the nobles. They actually had no resistance at all. Instead, they thought that it was a natural thing, and even took their lives for the nobles.

People in the 21st century cannot understand the cognition of human beings at that time. How foolish they think their ancestors were! But in that era when theocracy and feudal systems were overwhelmed by thousands of years, what choice could mortals make?

It was not until the Great Revolution that the French took the lead in giving natural humanity and the right to survive. They finally loosened the shackles on mortals, and all the theocracy and feudal nobles were trembling in that revolution.

Although the revolution has been repeated, the spirit is immortal, which has become the source of the inner pride of the French!

The war songs during the Great Revolution were sung, a war song that all feudal aristocracy and churches feared. When the Marseille song was sung on the streets of Paris, it proved that the wave of nationalism in France was approaching its peak.

The secret police outside the tavern made the right choice, but fortunately they did not choose to suppress or arrest, because in just one night, they found that the song was actually started singing throughout the city.

Millions of people sang this war song of the Great Revolution, and there were all social occasions such as taverns, cafes and other social occasions!

Who should I arrest? How should I arrest? Who dares to arrest?

All police stations in Paris issued an emergency order, strictly requiring all police officers not to fight against this wave. At this time, don’t worry about banned songs and can’t help singing. Make sure not to have conflicts first!

The police retreated, the army retreated, and even the police and soldiers themselves were singing this battle song!

France's chariot has been completely emptied by nationalism and there is no more rationality!

"War! War! Motherland attack!"

"Victory! We need victory! Let the whole of Europe tremble under our cavalry!"

"Our shells cut through the sky, our soldiers swept the horizon, and our swords will be re-entered into the land of Berlin!"

"Break through the Brandenburg Gate! Take away the goddess of victory! Let her become the trophy of the Louvre!"

The crowd was completely crazy, and people cheered, drank, sang and danced on the street! Some women who were extremely excited even took off their shirts and exposed their naked upper body, and flew into the air under the throws of countless men.

"Where is this a war? It's simply a carnival!"

American Minister Washbone looked at the drunk naked dancer who was singing and dancing on the table, shook his head helplessly, and turned around and said to the military officer.

"Import all Americans in Paris, especially our international students, not to go out on the streets during this period and never get involved in the French's nonsense!"

"Let them pay attention to the embassy's notice at any time. If there is any change, they will be evacuated immediately... If they really can't leave, they must also gather in the embassy!"

The military officer was shocked, "Sir... Do you have any new information?"

The minister shook his head, "Our American presence in Europe is too low. What information can we have... I'm just making some judgments based on common sense!"

"Do you know there is a very interesting proverb for Chinese people? It's called 'Dogs that bite people don't bark!' It makes sense to think about it now..."

"France barked like a mad dog from top to bottom, and look at the people in the north. So far, they didn't even say anything harsh, and their people were just waiting in silence!"

"What are they waiting for? It's chilling to think about it!"

The minister could only say this level. He could not tell the military officer that he had received a private letter mailed from the United States before.

The minister had a good personal relationship with the Carnegie family, and just after a 200,000 protests broke out in France, his friend, who was worried about him, sent him a private message.

In this letter, my old friend vaguely told him to be careful of this war and not be too optimistic!

At this moment, a quarter of the Carnegie family's careers are in Asia. They have close ties with the Chinese business community. Did this family secretly get some news?

Washbon didn't dare to think too much, nor did he dare to ask, nor did he dare to leak the news. He could only start reminding Americans in France in his own way.

In this era, the United States was not a mainstream country in the world at all. Their economy, culture and technology strength were far weaker than that in the European continent, so at this time there were many American students in Paris, France.

In the private reminder of the embassy, ​​these American students who have the conditions can temporarily return to their motherland, and those who have no conditions can start renting houses in the French countryside.

As for those who were less economically inadequate to leave Paris, they began to gather with the embassy, ​​rented houses and lived together in the surrounding area, and began to purchase a large amount of food.

All this was going on quietly, and the fanatical Frenchmen could not see these changes at all, and they did not even notice that the faces of British guests at all the noble banquets during this period were getting fewer and fewer.

Under the influence of manic emotions, none of them discovered that in fact, many countries have begun to secretly evacuate overseas Chinese, especially those privileged nobles.

Time passed by minute by minute, France's tough attitude was still firm, while Prussia has never given up on diplomatic efforts.

Britain, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Portugal... Almost all countries have sent special commissioners to mediate the conflict.

Among them, Gladstone of the United Kingdom even asked the Commissioner to send a handwritten letter to the French Emperor, which made a direct proposal, "Dear Your Majesty, I think both sides should make a step back and ease the situation..."

"Prussia should respect France's demands, but France should also give negotiation time. It is better to revoke your ultimatum..."

This is already very clear. European countries have expressed their opinions, "Your Chronicle has revoked the ultimatum first. Don't force Prussia to express its opinion on the French National Day. You have to give Prussia some face!"

‘What’s more, negotiations between countries cannot be reached in one or two months. It’s against diplomatic practices that you are so tight!’

‘As long as you can take a step back, everything is easy to negotiate!’
