2972 Stupid Paris

Xiao Letian and Besme spent half a day wandering around the city of Paris in the air. This was not only a military surveying, but also a very serious military demonstration!

Yes, it is a threat to all Paris. I will tell you clearly that your so-called indestructible line of defense is not worth mentioning in front of the Prussian and Chinese coalition forces.

We can even attack over your heads with a swagger, and Paris is simply unprepared in front of us!

The emergence of Zeppelin hit Paris with a severe blow to morale. The citizens living near the walls only took one evening to spread the terrifying news throughout the city.

The airship, as dark as a monster, made strange screams in the sky, and the soldiers on the airship held various weapons and threatened the citizens below.

Many stupid women even said that they saw the painted black demon dragon surrounding the airship, and their huge wings flickered and rolled up a hurricane!

People always like to demonize things that they are puzzled. This seems to be the most primitive memory in human genes. What does cavemen feel like when they see thunder and rain? It is probably no different from the mood of the current Parisian citizens.

The chaotic Paris finally realized that war was inevitable, and war had changed from rumors to terrifying things that could not be avoided around them. Now the entire city was completely out of its original order.

Councillor Sartre Lauman walked on the street worriedly. He looked at the chaotic citizens around him and suddenly felt a strange feeling on them.

It was a complex emotion of fear and security that blended together. Everyone was full of fear of war, but everyone believed that the walls and defense systems could protect them.

Moreover, when people gather together, they can quickly replace the lonely ones. People have no clues about random discussions, and many ridiculous topics often become the focus of people's pursuit.

In the afternoon, when Congressman Lawman went to the National Defense Government to deliver documents, he encountered a strange thing about nearly a thousand people surrounding the Academy of Sciences!

Those citizens who were in a trance submitted their bold fairy tale-like ideas to the Academy of Sciences, and never thought their behavior was stupid.

Some people suggest that all the beasts in the Paris Zoo be released, so that tigers, lions and poisonous snakes can kill all the invaders!

Someone proposed the musical machine gun tactic. They wanted to form countless bands to play Schubert and Wagner's music in front of the enemy's positions, so that the music can lure the enemy to get close, and then catch them all in one go!

Some even proposed to organize prostitutes in Paris, give them poison needles, seduce Prussian soldiers outside the city, and then Chen and the others were unprepared and used poison needles to kill the enemy!

Even if the poisonous needle doesn't work, the syphilis carried by these prostitutes can kill the enemy!

Lawman no longer has any hope for these lunatic citizens. He has suffered losses on the streets. These unreasonable citizens do not give others a chance to reason. They only use violence to resolve conflicts.

Faced with the proposals of these lunatics, the parliamentarians could only sigh and prepare to leave, but unexpectedly, the public was already very hysterical. At that time, several citizens stared at him.

"Are you mocking us? Look, here is a gentleman in a precious suit, who is mocking our proposal..."

As he spoke, several drunken strong men approached him. After Luo Man was beaten once, he would never be beaten a second time. He turned his head and walked out without explaining.

Just as several drunkards were about to surround him, a pair of big hands grabbed his arm. "Mr. Lawman... Come with me... You don't always go out on the streets alone in the future..."

When Lauman looked closely, he was still an acquaintance. Eugene, a famous Parisian steelmaker, was familiar with many people in the political arena. It is said that he had a very close personal relationship with Thierre.

When Lauman saw that he followed without saying a word, the two jumped into the carriage on the side of the road and quickly left the chaotic place!

"Mr. Eugene... You haven't left Paris? As far as I know, many merchants have gone out of the city to hide from the limelight..."

"Hey... I'm different from them. My business is basically here. Steel factories and machining factories cannot do without me. If I hadn't been in charge of it, I was afraid that the thugs would take away all my equipment and property!"

"I can't bear to give up, I just can't bear to give up, my lifelong hard work..."

"If I were those wine merchants, food merchants, or gold and silver equipment... all my property was outside the city, and there was only so much money on my body, and all my carriages were loaded away..."

"Oh... I'm tied up, I'm tied up..."

Lawman also sighed long, "Yes! Not only you, but also those pawn shops, merchants who lend money loans, and those landlords in Paris... they all had to stay here because their property could not be taken away..."

"Who said no? My brother-in-law had wanted to leave for a long time, but he was afraid that his property would eventually be destroyed by the war... so he was still struggling!"

The two exchanged a few greetings and said suddenly, "Did you see that strange airship today? It is said that it was built by the head of state of China. During the Battle of Seedon, this airship broke through several bastions!"

"I didn't expect to be brought to Paris now. With this thing, we can't sleep or eat! Can the castle and wall outside the city block the attack of this airship?"

"Mr. Eugene... I ask you one thing... Can you help transform a few small caliber cannons so that they can shoot in the air... I know that your machining factory is fully equipped, and you can do it!"

"It doesn't matter how much money you need. I'll go to the committee to give you special approval..."

Eugene smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Mr. Congressman... It's not a problem of money. I don't expect to make money when the country is in trouble... The problem is that all the workers are crazy!"

"The workers in the steel mill and the machinery mill are all red and their eyes are gone. They all go to join the National Self-Defense Force. It would be good if I can find thirty old workers..."

"I'm afraid I'll delay your affairs..."

Damn… Lauman punched the carriage with a punch, "It's messy, it's all messy... No one works anymore, are they all going to war? Who will produce bullets and shells? Who will repair arms?"

"You wait for me...I'll go to Montmartre Heights...I'll go find Valland Duval and the others, and I'll get you a group of workers..."

Eugene had a bitter face, "You'd better not go... It's crazy over there, it's very dangerous..."

In the end, Eugene did not stop Congressman Lawman. At the next intersection, Lawman jumped out of his carriage and walked towards Montmartre Heights. Where was the base camp of the workers' movement and where were the main leaders.

Eugene looked at Laoman's back and sighed, "What's the matter? Who are these people? Why did Paris become like this..."

While saying that, he was still holding the telegram in his pocket, "Let's go and see Mr. Tier..."

Eugene's pocket was a garbled message that he would never understand!
