The third day after Thiers surrendered, the new French president secretly took the train to Germany to meet with his old leader Napoleon III whom he opposed at the time.

Thier was just a small congressman in the empire back then. The emperor could not remember him at all, but now the storm changed, Thier became the president of France, while the emperor became a prisoner!

In theory, this kind of meeting should be full of dramatic slap plots. The major reversal of identity will definitely bring about a very exciting conflict, but never expected that Tier respectfully held the courtesy in front of the emperor!

This was a top-secret visit. Germany did a very careful security work. In just two hours, it mobilized tens of thousands of troops to support it and countless intelligence personnel.

Before the final agreement is signed, there must be no news. Thiers are Chinese and German ATMs. Before the money is received, there must be no problems with this ATMs.

No one knows what Thier said to the Emperor, and even the Germans dare not spy on the side, but judging from the various things that followed, this transaction is not difficult to guess!

A week after Thierre left the French Emperor, German Emperor William I officially announced that due to the physical reasons of Napoleon III, the German Empire gave up all charges against the French Emperor, protected all the French property in Germany, and released it!

Immediately afterwards, the British royal family issued a statement willing to accept Napoleon III's exile and hoped that he could reunite with his family in Germany!

After Napoleon III failed in the Battle of Seedon, he did not suffer any grievances at all and instead received a rare holiday. Finally, he was given a gift to England leisurely.

Judging from the relaxed expression of the Emperor's departure, Thier must have made some promise for the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty in the future!

The Emperor of the French was completely discouraged, and his age was too old and his reputation in France had been completely corrupted and could not be restored, but he also had hope that was his son, Crown Prince Eugen!

What a brave, kind and handsome crown prince that was! Every time he appeared in public, he could be surrounded by countless European princesses and noble ladies, and the people loved him even more!

In addition, the Emperor and the Queen consciously asked their son to formulate some good policies, so the people couldn't hate the prince. This is the basis for the restoration of the future!

If Thierre wants to drive the 300,000 prisoners, then it is impossible for the Emperor to pass this level. Who knows you, from ordinary soldiers to officers, who is Tierre?

You, the president, cannot order them at all. If you want them to cooperate, you have to speak out. Although the emperor is already in prison, a piece of two fingers wide is better than your till you have to talk!

Thier gave the French emperor some invisible promise for the restoration of the future, while the French emperor secretly issued secret orders to generals loyal to him. This transaction is necessary and very important!

The President's envoy soon arrived at the French prisoner camp in the province of Alsace, where General McMahon, who was injured by shelling, lived temporarily.

When the secret envoy saw the elderly general, his tears almost fell. What a harsh environment. The Germans never raised prisoners in vain. These prisoners of war had to earn their food and accommodation every day.

The prisoner-of-war camp ran for more than ten kilometers, and the troops were dispersed and settled. They dug iron and coal mines in nearby mines during the day, and suffered hard in tents at night.

I worked for more than twelve hours every day, and no one dared to complain, and all resistance was cruelly suppressed!

It's summer now, and it's better. In addition to mosquitoes, you can survive. The winter last year was so miserable. The canvas tent could not resist the bitter cold wind. There were countless soldiers who were frozen to death that winter!

The money earned by working twelve hours a day can only maintain basic food and drink. The Germans did not provide them with any fuel. If you want extra wood and coal, you have to work another four hours to exchange!

The army is a wonderful place. It’s not that soldiers cannot endure hardships. They can fight bravely on the cruelest battlefield, but these people are not hard work. If you let them do high-intensity repetitive work day after day, they really can’t adapt!

There is a fundamental difference between soldiers and blue-collar workers, and it is even more different from those humble miners!

Digging, mining, logging and building, this kind of tedious hard work can only be adapted by those lower-class slaves who have been completely tamed by life. It is like a mule to do hard work every day. It can be tolerated for a period of time, but those who do not adapt for more than a month will go crazy!

Resistance broke out from almost every barracks, and the French began to secretly make weapons, sharpen wooden sticks, store stones, use iron wire to make boxing finger condoms, and even start stealing iron tools from mines!

On the coldest winter night, the riot began! But unfortunately, the rigorous Germans have always been good at formulating various rules and regulations, and no one will be lazy and unwilling to implement those systems.

The Frenchmen who were patrolling openly avoided the sentry, but they did not dodge the secretly!

The gunshots suddenly rang like fried beans. The German army who were guarding them immediately began to suppress them without any mercy. Blood sprinkled the snow field, and the next day these frozen corpses covered the earth.

No one knows how many people died in the riot, but the number of French prisoners of war in the Alsace iron mine area is close to 100,000. It is conceivable how large the riot will be. According to the person involved, at least six or seven thousand French troops died that night!

The cruel killing suppressed the French army's resistance. The desperate soldiers could only humiliately accept the conditions of working sixteen hours a day, including twelve hours of their food and accommodation, and the remaining four hours were produced for their winter fuel!

Despair spread in the prisoner-of-war camp, and some wounded soldiers even committed suicide!

The Germans wanted to exchange these prisoners for money. It was okay if they all died. In the end, they had to detain the French senior generals here together, hoping that the superiors of these soldiers could appease the despair in the prisoner-of-war camp.

It was under such a background that McMahon went to the Alsace mining area. He was the marshal of the French Empire and a high aristocrat. Even if he was captured, he had privileges!

The Germans provide them with very good living conditions. What they do every day is to wait, long wait!

When McMahon heard that he was going to transfer himself to a prisoner-of-war camp with difficult living conditions, he not only did not complain, but instead packed his luggage and went to the prisoner-of-war camp as soon as possible!

The French envoy now sees such an old imperial marshal!

This famous French general who became famous in the Crimean War was pushing a mine cart to transport iron ore on the rails with his prisoners of war when he met the emperor's secret envoy.

A dirty towel was placed around the neck, and the work clothes were covered with dark mud and dust!

"Marson!" The envoy was almost crying. He pointed at the German officer who was watching over the prisoners of war and scolded angrily, "You bastards! How dare you humiliate the marshal of the French Empire!"

"Wait, I will appeal to the Emperor...I will go to His Majesty William I, Berlin, to accuse you!"

McMahon stopped him, "Stop making trouble, I am willing to come... They can't stop me!"

"My soldiers, my children are so miserable... I have to be with them to give them some hope!"

"I have to atone for my sins!"
