2632 No way out
There is indeed no way out! Paris is boiling like a pot of hot soup, all kinds of messy things are rising and falling in this pot of soup!
The Champs-Elysées have become a sea of celebration, and people sing and dance around the parade to celebrate the victory of the empire!
Yes, you heard it right, the people are celebrating victory. In their hearts, Prussia and Chinese have long been turned into fish on the chopping board and can be slaughtered!
Buckets of fine wine were pushed out and consumed at a very fast speed. Today, the consumption of various wines in Paris would be at least 500,000 barrels!
The French people, stimulated by alcohol and the illusory sense of victory, have long forgotten the difficulties of life, and they are all trapped in hysterical fanaticism.
The Marseille song was sung throughout the city, and long live shouts were heard one after another. The glorious imperial veterans could eat all over the city without taking a piece of copper, especially those veterans who fought the Crimean War, which was the focus of the crowd!
Men and women were singing and dancing wildly, and there was even a drunken ghost, Xi Tianmudi, who was doing such a miserable thing on the grass, and the people around him were giggling and making excuses without anyone stopping them!
Paris is crazy! France is crazy!
Various voices rushed from all directions to the Duille Palace, and the prince on the terrace was dizzy!
"Did you hear it? This is what they want! This is the only thing my Bonaparte family can give! You let me calm down, can they calm down?"
"I will take a step back now, and that will be doomed. They will rush into the Duille Palace and tear us all to pieces!"
"This is a country of madman, a country of no distinction between superiors and inferiors, and this is a crazy land that despises the king and even God!"
"I'm crazy in this country! If I don't act like crazy than them, I can't stop the scene at all! Are you still asking me to retreat now? We have no choice but to retreat!"
"Another step back, all the nobles in France will have to be buried with us!"
"Once the Second Empire perishes, you nobles must also be buried with you!"
People looked at the emperor who shouted loudly, and everyone was so scared that their faces were as white as the emperor. This was a threat to the emperor! It was also a threat to the fanatical people in France!
At this point, the ministers had no way out. They stepped forward and said in unison, "See Your Majesty to the death! Long live the empire!"
...
What is coming finally comes. The news that the Emperor of the Francis declared war spread throughout Europe that night. This was a sleepless night in Europe. Except for ordinary people who are indifferent to national affairs, the educated people in any country are concerned about this war with concern!
The next day, as soon as the major European stock markets opened, all kinds of mysterious funds began to fall into a state of war early, and all stocks and bonds linked to France and Prussia fell sharply.
The capital market directly represented the mainstream public opinion at that time. In this financial collapse, especially Prussia's stocks and bonds fell the most severely. It can be seen that the people in Europe were not optimistic about Prussia at all.
In fact, France is not as good as it is, and their credit bonds, steel stocks, coal stocks, shipping, food and other stocks have all suffered an avalanche decline.
Fortunately, some investors are optimistic about the probability of France's victory, so when these stocks are cut in half, a large amount of funds immediately began to take over.
What is even more jaw-dropping is that France's military-industrial stocks surged rapidly under the stimulation of the war. Countless gamblers bet on France, and large amounts of funds stimulated these stocks to double the surge!
On the other hand, in Prussia, the tenacity of this nation is undoubtedly revealed at this moment! No matter how the external environment changes, these iron-blooded Prussians still firmly maintain the order of the empire!
Unlike the fanatical Parisians, and the French like madmen, the entire Prussia, from cities to villages, from Junker landlords to ordinary workers and peasants, faced this war one by one but became taciturn!
The workers are still working every day, and the farmers are not limited to half a day. The doctor packs up their tools to join the military field hospital. The donation group composed of college students stands on the street again.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, Prussia is now a Tiger tank, with all the parts stable, precise and performing their own duties without any confusion.
The carriage was parked on the street. Xiao Letian looked through the glass window at the passionate eyes of the three students standing on the wooden box. In the hats on the ground, there were more than a dozen coins scattered.
There were only five or six Berlin citizens around who were listening to their speeches, and their expressions were so calm that they were unimaginable!
Facing those scattered coins, the three students did not feel impatient, but instead gave each donated coin with a sincere smile and bow!
Because they knew that these coins might be the last little money in the family of these citizens. If they donated this money, their lives would be difficult to maintain by the food rationed by the state!
Xiao Letian pulled up the curtains and said with tears in his eyes, "The terrible nation, they have squeezed out the last bit of energy to bet on this war!"
"But they are all at this point, how can they still be so calm and orderly! A terrible nation, there is a deep aura buried under the order, the terrible hell lava!"
Xiao Letian took out a handful of coins from his pocket and handed them to the guards' hands, "Please them and give them to those students!"
The guard ran over with great strides and put the gold coin in his hat. Such a golden handful of gold coins immediately made the students panic, including the Berlin citizens around him looking up and looked carefully, and immediately showed a look of gratitude.
Looking at these eastern holes and the Prussian royal badges on the black carriage, they could guess who the character in the carriage was!
The Prussians present took off their top hats collectively and bowed deeply to the carriage to express their gratitude to their allies from afar!
The carriage rolled forward. When the carriage passed by the students, a student ran up quickly and stuffed a leaflet into the guard's hand.
"First of the People! We will create miracles... right? We will create miracles... right?"
Xiao Letian opened the car window and looked at the young faces and nodded firmly, "Of course! In my eyes, a miracle has happened at this moment!"
"Wait for good news! Brave young people and all the patient Germans! All your efforts will always be rewarded!"
There was no long live roar outside the window, nor was there an excited face. People were just crying grateful eyes, and everyone pressed their emotions into their hearts...
And at this moment, countless shouts suddenly rang out on the street, "Extra! Extra! The king just gave a speech!"
"War is declared! Our king formally responds to the French declaration of war!"
"Your Majesty has issued a general mobilization order to the whole of Germany!"
Chapter completed!
