The marshal's expression was extremely lonely, as if he was recalling the lack of life in his youth, but soon he shook his head again, "Actually, like you, I have come up little by little from the bottom. I have seen poverty, and I have also rolled my eyes..."

"If there is any difference, maybe my family could still maintain food and clothing at that time, and I could still receive some education. This may be the difference between me and you..."

"Apart from that, I am like you... we are all those people who are far away from power and wealth. We are all the foundations of the pyramid, but I can see a little sunshine, and you all are buried deep in the ground without even a light..."

Speaking of this, the marshal's expression became solemn, "So! What changed our destiny? It was the Great Revolution! We must always remember that it was the Great Revolution that changed our destiny!"

"Without the Great Revolution, there would be no declaration of human rights, and without the concept that everyone is born equal, there would be no phenomenon that civilians can also be awarded titles!"

"Before the Great Revolution, the world was dark, and nobles were always classified by blood, and the untouchables would never change their destiny in their lives!"

"Not the Great Revolution! What are we? Nothing is nothing, we are just a bullshit!"

"Our money can be stolen, our food can be trampled on, our wife and daughter can be insulted at will... but we cannot resist at all!"

"Because someone always tells you that you are born poor and humble...that is your life!"

"Why!" McMahon said loudly, "Why? I don't accept it anyway! The people of France are not convinced either! This is why there is a revolution that changes the world!"

"Children! Everything we have now is actually the legacy of the Great Revolution. We have always been eating the legacy that our ancestors have exchanged for us with their lives!"

"Look out now! Look at the armed Prussian thugs! They are different from us, different..."

McMahon stood up and pointed his hand at the enemy without fear of danger. "Look, those people are different from us... Prussia is still a feudal monarchy country! Their social structure is completely different..."

"Fethical dictatorship! They are military feudal dictatorship countries! All they have to do is destroy everything we are now!"

"Do you know what the Prussian society is like now? Their people are in great distress. Although they armed a huge army with hypocritical nationalism and a big stick, you must remember that those stupid soldiers will never change their destiny by relying on military achievements!"

"The ones who can receive the most rewards will always be descendants of the Junker nobles, and their Hohenzollern family... Commoners want to change their destiny? Go dream!"

"Aren't I a realistic example? I am a descendant of the James Party who was born in a civilian family. In the end, I can become a marshal with my military achievements, and I can also be named Duke!"

"This situation will never happen in Prussia!"

"Pesme, Moltke, Steinmetz... Look at the important officials in the Prussian court! They are all nobles, all descendants of feudal nobles!"

"This is where we are different from them!"

"From the bones, we are not a country! Although we are now an empire, our empire is an empire born from the legacy of the Great Revolution!"

"Our empire is filled with the glory of the Great Revolution from every pore!"

The soldiers around were stunned! Everything the marshal said sounded so strange and distant, but after thinking about it carefully, it made some sense.

At this time, a young voice in the crowd rang out, "Marson! What you said, did you say that you have given up the empire and converted to the republic system?"

"Does what you said mean that you gave up on His Majesty the Emperor and chose the Republic!"

The people around were stunned like thunder, and the officer behind McMahon even drew out the command knife, "Who! Who is talking nonsense, do you dare to frame the marshal?"

If the hat is firmly decisive, it would be a great sin if the marshal was going to give up the empire and the emperor and support the republic!

A group of marshals' direct officers wanted to arrest the bold and arrogant man and shoot him. Just as they were looking for him, a very young officer came out of the soldiers.

McMahon was stunned at first sight. It was not that he knew this soldier, but that the soldier was too young and might have just reached twenty years old.

But this young man is actually a lieutenant!

According to the French army's convention at that time, the lieutenant could serve as an officer at the platoon level or deputy company level, but this age was too young!

"Young man? How old are you this year?" McMahon was not only surprised at his youth, but also at the fearlessness of this child. He had no expression of fear in the face of so many senior officers.

"Eighteen years old!" said the young man proudly raised his chest and looked up.

Ah! The crowd was filled with noise, "So young? Isn't it possible... Eighteen-year-old lieutenant?"

The boy's face suddenly turned red as if he was insulted. "Are you questioning me? I am a technical army, a student from the Paris School of Comprehensive Engineering, and I major in engineering!"

"I am a special recruit, and now I am working in the Vancena Artillery Regiment! Mess, Sharon and Seedon... all have artillery positions I supervised!"

Oh! All the officers and soldiers, including the marshal, suddenly realized, and McMahon raised his hand to stop his subordinates from moving.

"It turns out that he is the future engineer of the country! He was indeed enlisted through a special enlistment. I admire your patriotism!"

"If there are a group of young people like you in the motherland, there will be hope!"

"The questions you just asked are very sensitive, but for college students like you, it is not uncommon to ask such questions!"

"After all, you live in a place with complex thoughts in Paris. If you come into contact with a lot of new ideas, you will naturally have questions..."

Paris Comprehensive Engineering School is actually the 21st century Paris Comprehensive Technology University!

This school was born during the French Revolution. It was originally a science academy that cultivated engineering. Later, Napoleon I upgraded it to a military academy.

The most famous standard of this school is the two crossed cannon statues given by Napoleon, just like the mathematical symbol x!

Cannon represents military, and x represents unknown numbers in mathematics, so its purpose is self-evident!

It is worth mentioning that this college is the ancestor of all science and engineering universities in later generations, and it is this college that laid the foundation for this educational model.

All the colleges of So-Tech in later generations, such as this model, were studied at the Paris Integrated Polytechnic University!

In 1870, the French Ministry of Defense further managed the school. An active general became the administrator of the school. All students were awarded military ranks from the moment they entered the school.

Their unified name in school is "Student Officer". Once they are temporarily enlisted in the army, they will be awarded the corresponding military rank. This is the origin of the 18-year-old lieutenant officer.
