2693 Popular sentiments float

"It seems that we really have no advantage!" Marshal Bazan said worriedly.

"Two consecutive defeats, and our Bingfeng has been beaten back to the country from Germany, and now it has become a local war. This has a huge impact on morale!"

"The Second Army has retreated and joined with our current 100,000 defenders. It seems that the troops have increased, but these sluggish defeated troops will also have an impact on the morale of our current army!"

"What will the troops that have not started a war think? What is more important is what will the people think?"

"God bless you, Paris, don't have any accidents, don't have any accidents..."

France's failure in this war was due to politics. Almost all generals did not simply consider the outcome of the war, but had to devote a lot of thought to think about politics.

This is really a bit like it was during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Why did Beiyang lose? Historians and military scientists have given many answers, and they will not be repeated here, but one thing must not be ignored.

The little Japanese fights the Sino-Japanese War with a lot of thoughts, and they are all determined to win! All the commanders in the war have no selfish thoughts, and they are all about victory, and they do whatever they want to win.

On the other hand, Beiyang must consider the court and politics. It must not only preserve Beiyang's strength, but also not lose this war, but also beware of the constraints of people...

Even the generals from above and below dared not fight a beautiful battle of victory because they knew that the Beiyang without victory was already a thorn in the eyes of the crowd. Many people said that Li Hongzhang was going to rebel.

If Beiyang defeated the Japanese in a storm, how could Li Hongzhang's people be so proud? Could the court still let go of his great Buddha?

What is the favorite thing Chinese emperors do? Since you have made great contributions and cannot be rewarded, then go to death!

The soldier's heart is not pure. Do you think of politics that he shouldn't think about? How can you not lose when fighting like this?

The same is true in France at this moment. Everyone is considering their own interests, and they are all thinking about the contradiction between the emperor, the republicans and the left.

France is the birthplace of the Great Revolution, and the imperial system and the republic system were changed back and forth like a lantern. I really thought Napoleon III could always stay firm in the country?

No one dares to have such a luxury, and many generals are also thinking about what if the republic is restored? By then, will they be liquidated if there is no force left in their hands?

Of course, there are also several emperors who are loyal to each other, and they must consider leaving some family background for His Majesty!

Some people are even considering the need to settle the country when fighting against foreign countries! If the Emperor loses the more than 300,000 veteran soldiers in his hands, what will he use to maintain the imperial power?

You should know that the Republicans and the left are already quarreling in Paris at this moment. They force the queen to open the arsenal every day and then arm the National Self-Defense Force.

They even promised to pull out a million troops for His Majesty to resist the Prussian army together!

What nonsense is this? Who can't understand this slight thought? If the republicans and the left are really allowed to pull out a million troops, I'm afraid the Prussians will be driven away and they will have to mutiny!

Those people were all ruthless and fatherless. Seeing that the sky was holding back and trying to chop the emperor's head! If there was an army in his hand, it would be a big deal!

Bazan couldn't say a lot of things clearly. He just sighed and said, "Why did Your Majesty keep Montauban, Duke of Baliqiao, in Paris to support the queen? This shows that Your Majesty is more worried about the situation in Paris..."

"I'm afraid that something will happen in Paris now! Prince, please be more careful..."

Marshal Bazanyuan, who shook his head and sighed, left the prince in a daze in the corner!

If the country's destiny is not good, it will be a good and bad spirit. At this moment, the situation in Paris is even more difficult than Marshal Bazan thought.

In the Duille Palace, Queen Eugenie and Prime Minister Olivie remained in the General Montauban, and opposite the three of them was Senna's MP Thierre.

The queen looked at Thierr coldly, "I'll say it again, organizing the National Self-Defense Force is the emperor's right, and no one else can authorize it, not even me!"

"Retract your offer and tell the people behind you so that they will stop dreaming!"

Thierre was a real republican. He had a grudge against the Napoleon family in his early years. He was also imprisoned by the Emperor. Later, through some of his softening statements, he was released.

After gaining popularity in Paris, he praised Napoleon III in public, and as a result he was forgiven by the Emperor of the French and became a member of parliament and restored his political journey.

However, the superficial easing cannot change the contradictions in the bones. Thierre has been shouting for the republicans from beginning to end, forcing the French Emperor to reform, and even did not support this Franco-Prussian War.

"Dear Queen, I have always opposed this war. I think France has been blinded by fanaticism, and we are not ready for war!"

"Prussia has been preparing for war, but we have been wasted for more than ten years. As one goes up and down, we have little chance of victory!"

"So I ask the Queen to agree to the formation of a self-defense force of the Paris citizens. Our requirements are not high. Please give us 200,000 rifles. I will personally lead the 200,000 new forces to the battlefield to support it!"

"Queen, what are you worried about? The Self-Defense Force is also under the command of the Ministry of Defense! They are all imperial troops, all for protecting their homes!"

Montubang, Duke of Baliqiao, smiled coldly, "Haha... I'm afraid it's not that simple. It's easy to build these 200,000 troops, but it will be difficult to disband in the future!"

"Your Majesty is now bringing 300,000 veterans who are good at fighting, and there is no problem dealing with the small Prussia..."

Tier glanced at Montauban with his eyes and smiled coldly, "Haha... is this really the case? I'm afraid it may not be..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden turmoil came from outside the Duille Palace, followed by a sound of tsunamis like tsunamis.

"Shame! The shame of France! We were defeated, and we were defeated!"

"A shameful battle of Walter, McMahon lost the gates of Visanburg!"

"The shameful battle of Spicelin Heights, Froshad became a betrayal dog!"

"Traitors! Our government is full of traitors!"

"The Prussians have entered our northeastern border, they are burning, killing and looting! Our people are crying!"

The queen opened the window and Montauban and Olivi looked at everything outside in shock. Only then did they find that countless people were gathering in the garden of the Duille Palace.

The flyers in the sky flew down like snowflakes, and all the citizens of Paris went crazy. They cried and shouted and blew, and they tried their best to vent their emotions.

Countless people tear their clothes and exposed their chests, as if the fire in their hearts could not be extinguished.

"What the hell is going on? Why did these people start demonstrating again? Why do they say that the front line failed? Who made the rumor!"
