Marshal McMahon looked at the young officer with admiration, and he said calmly, "Everyone in the world thinks that the French Empire and the Republic are as powerful as fire, but in fact this view is wrong!"

"Really, you are all wrong...or some people with ulterior motives have instilled wrong ideas in you!"

"The First French Republic, which was born in the Great Revolution, was finally overthrown by Emperor Napoleon, and the God of War established the First French Empire!"

"Do you think the First Republic and the First Empire are mutually hating each other? They are the greatest enemies of life and death?"

"Wrong! That's all the thoughts that people with ulterior motives deliberately instilled in you. The real history is not like that at all. If it were not for the people's choice, then the Great Revolution would not have happened, and Emperor Napoleon would not have been in power!"

“The First Republic and the First Empire are essentially one!”

Ah! The young officer suddenly looked confused. He really couldn't accept such an answer because it was completely different from what he heard in Paris!

The marshal saw the young man's confusion, and he smiled and patted his shoulder, "Child, I'll tell you! The real history is not what you hear..."

The mystery of history gradually resolved, and the marshal opened a long-closed curtain!

There is no need to say more about the importance of the French Revolution to human history. He smashed the supreme position of the divine power and also beat the feudal rulers to look for teeth.

Although this revolution is full of bloody violence and the process makes many historians shake their heads and sigh, the positive significance of this revolution is still undeniable!

Everyone is born equal. This sentence is natural in the hearts of people in the 21st century, but before the Great Revolution, whoever dares to say this sentence will die!

What society believed in that era was that everyone was born unequal!

The son of a cobbler will be a cobbler all his life, at most he will change his career and become a carpenter!

The farmer's son should be a tenant for the rest of his life. If you want to change your destiny, you may have to rely on the voyage to be a sailor and pirate!

Before the Great Revolution, Europe's hierarchy was extremely strict. Why was the Age of Discovery started? Perhaps there is one source of power that we cannot ignore!

That is, in the European continent, the people at the bottom have no possibility of changing their class at all. It may be simple to go downward, but it is absolutely impossible to go upward!

The ruling class is always a closed circle, and you will never be able to enter without that bloodline!

This is the most different point in Europe and China at that time. Although the Chinese class also existed, at least it left the path of imperial examinations, and even another path of rebellion!

The people at the bottom of Europe had no way to go, so they had to take a sea boat to the New World, go to the colonies, and immigrate to try to start a new life there.

Unfortunately, the New World and the Colonials are not paradises, and in addition, the lower-class people in Europe cannot all leave their hometowns, so the feudal lords would not agree.

How do the poor people who stayed there live? Do they have to be bullied as untouchables for generations? It is under such a general background that the French Revolution broke out!

Thousand years of oppression have accumulated a powerful force like a volcanic eruption. When he released it, all the emperors of Europe trembled!

The miserable fate of the French emperor and nobles made the British royal family, the Austrian royal family, the Prussian royal family... scared all the major royal families in Europe at that time!

This is so great? Dalits dare to slaughter the emperor? What if the people of their own country also follow suit? Could it be that London, Berlin, Madrid, Vienna, Moscow... the capitals of all kingdoms have to build a guillotine?

Cut the heads of all the kings and queens?

Now, under the guidance of fear, the kings of Europe completely united and began to form an anti-French alliance to launch a war against the First Republic of France!

This is the first anti-French alliance!

Britain, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Netherlands, Spain, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Holy Roman Empire, that is, Austria... These countries formed a coalition forces to fight against France!

Marshal McMahon seemed to be immersed in the smoke of war back then. He was silent for two minutes before he spoke again, "Child! The most important difficulty of the First Empire back then was to protect himself!"

"The achievements of the Great Revolution must be protected! If the anti-French alliance is won, all the provisions established by the Great Revolution will become toilet paper for those kings!"

"What declaration of human rights! What kind of civilians can be awarded titles! What kind of slavery system will be abolished! All of this will be smashed, abolished, and then France will return to the dark age again..."

"For the First Republic, at that time, they had only one thing they had to consider, which was survival! Not a nominal Republic name!"

"My child, the name is not important! Join us, France, back to the slavery era in ancient Rome and ancient Greece, and then changed the name of the republic by covering our ears. Do you think this is OK?"

"No! Absolutely not. The social system has not changed. What's the use of just changing a name?" the 18-year-old lieutenant said loudly.

"That's right, kid, that's definitely not possible!"

"Who finally smashed the anti-French alliance? It was Napoleon Bonaparte, our God of War Emperor! He used his genius command art to turn all the kings of Europe into stupid pigs!"

"He used military means to safeguard the achievements of the Great Revolution! Child, you must remember that any social system needs military means to protect it!"

"But the Republic of that time did not have the ability to protect itself! Those revolutionaries who were more enthusiastic about revolution but lacked military professionalism had no choice!"

"Continue to take charge of the military and the anti-French alliance themselves? To be honest, they don't have that expertise, because those people did not receive a real good education before the Great Revolution, and they don't understand!"

"Military is a very professional field. Without good education and genius, you can't play at all! So they can only hand over the military power to Emperor Napoleon!"

"It was Napoleon's guns that maintained the fruits of victory in the Great Revolution, and it was also him who formally determined in the form of law that the spirit of the Great Revolution was legal and unchangeable!"

"Although Napoleon became emperor and although he changed the Republic into an Empire, the things that operated within France were actually in line with the First Republic!"

"This was the most important reason why the people supported the Bonaparte family at that time!"

"Because... because everyone is born equal, the spirit of equality was maintained by Emperor Napoleon with powerful military means! This is where the motherland is grateful to him!"

"This is what the people of the God of War will do!"

"Child! Do you understand now? The First Republic and the First Empire are originally one and two sides! They are originally one and a compatriots!"

"The Republic is nothing more than a manifestation of the Great Revolution's civilized rule, and the First Empire is the manifestation of the Great Revolution's martial arts!"

"It's not hatred, they are not enemies!"
