The French-Prussian War was finally completely fulfilled in France's most realistic appearance. France was defeated by internal friction. In fact, the slightest military advantage established by Prussia cannot be so tragic to France!

France was defeated so miserably. About six provinces in the north were completely destroyed. The capital Paris was captured, and the 300,000 most elite troops became prisoners of war. The proud navy was even defeated by the Chinese alone ship!

In the end, France was so weak that it could not even suppress a small commune organization within its own country!

Is this the second most powerful country in the world? Is this the France, which is known as the world's number one army?

Too many people don’t understand the tricks here. In fact, only those who have experienced it can understand the three flavors!

On the surface, France's failure was a political turmoil caused by military failure, which eventually aggravated the losses of the war. This is just an appearance!

There is another very important internal problem in France's failure, that is, the domestic ideological community has been divided into two different camps!

The first is the colonial expansion idea believed by the royalists and traditional aristocratic capitalists!

This kind of thinking was indeed mainstream in the world at that time, because Britain became powerful by colonies, and France itself plundered too many resources from the colonies.

Needless to say, the canal in Egypt could be cultivated without the corpses of the colonial people? That productivity at that time could be cultivated without the dead?

Who will die? Of course, no one can die from their own nation, but you still have to drive the slaves in the colony to work hard!

The land, minerals, natural resources of the weak, and the lives of the weak people can actually be squeezed out oil and water and feed back to France!

This is such a big piece of cake. Who doesn’t covet the world’s powerful countries?

But the truth seems to be correct, but there are problems with the distribution of cakes. As new wealth pours in, the problem of uneven distribution is too serious!

The gap between the rich and the poor This devil has been wandering on European land, and is as exciting as a ghost!

In order to continue to maintain the national strategy of colonial expansion, the emperor had to maintain huge military expenditures. Where can one do without money when the military is powerful?

The army consumed a lot of wealth, and at the same time, the emperors, generals, noble capitalists divided the second piece of the cake because they were leaders, organizers, and the absolute veterinary class!

The flood of wealth into France does not bring about the welfare of the people, but a disaster, a disaster of the gap between the rich and the poor!

It is precisely because of this huge gap that has caused dissatisfaction among countless people, which has triggered the proliferation of the second trend of thought!

This second idea should be called conservatives or isolationist ideas, which is the idea that the United States is actively promoting at this moment!

This kind of thought also has many branches, such as the socialist parties in the Paris Commune, the progressive intellectuals who advocated the republic, and even a small number of virtual monarchists are also part of this idea.

Their ideas are different, but the overall idea is the same, which is to stop being militant, stop giving the super dividends to the aristocratic class, and increase people's livelihood and increase people's income level!

To put it bluntly, you have eaten too much and you have to share it with us, especially the army, the gold-swalking beast. You will increase taxes as soon as you fight. How can you bear this?

The more extreme representative of this kind of thinking is of course the Bronchi group of the working class who was extremely poor at the bottom, because they directly chose the path of force confrontation!

Neither of these two thoughts can be suppressed by anyone, and each one will kill each other. The conflict between the two sides gradually evolves into a bloody incident, and in the end it directly escalates to the point of a civil war!

Even this social division caused France to completely lose the French-Prussian War. All the dividends of the Bonaparte family's expansion of territory were plundered by the enemy!

People are uneven and want to fight a national war? Dream in the daytime!

Today, McMahon is going to arouse the collective anger of the 300,000 Legion. He is a general who is good at using the emotions of soldiers. He knows that the lary soldiers are sometimes the most combat-oriented!

If you want these soldiers to become loyal and available sorrow soldiers, you must clearly distinguish them and let them know where the hatred is vented!

"What is the reason for us to fall to this point, who is the culprit? Who are we going to seek to revenge?"

McMahon's problem lingers in the hearts of all soldiers. The Marshal knew that these soldiers were completely members of the Royalist Party, and they were actually the actual beneficiaries of the first idea!

Soldiers are born to love war, not just the atmosphere of the army, but more importantly, war can indeed bring great benefits to everyone involved!

There is war, there is a high salary. What is the military salary in peace? How many women can I play with? How many bottles of wine can I drink?

But the allowance during the war was amazing, and it would have to start three times, which is the least to say!

Then the war is seized. All the wealth of the enemy who wins the battle is yours. If you see valuable things, you can steal them. The officers will turn a blind eye. Even as long as you respect money in proportion, they will indulge them!

That’s right, in that era, Europe and the British army had a hidden rule, which was the system of distributing spoils!

When a company has finished fighting, it can intercept the standard small spoils by itself, and it must be handed over and distributed by standard large spoils by itself.

Some of these handed over must be continued to be handed over, and the remaining ones will be distributed in proportion according to the ranks of the troops!

Look, the army is an extremely efficient wealth harvester in war, and the property of other nations is plundered and redistributed very efficiently!

The seizure meeting of the squad is handed over to the company, the company is handed over to the battalion, then to the division, and finally to the commander-in-chief, the marshal or general. Of course, the biggest leader is the Emperor!

This is how McMahon was. He didn't have to rob it himself during the war. After the regular battle, there were naturally civilian officers to conduct statistics and calculations. The extra spoils he won could be seized and sent home by mail!

This is true for the entire empire's legions. Different ranks of your army have different benefits. Without these benefits, how can they buy land in their hometown?

At that time, someone once counted that if a veteran started to work as a soldier for twenty years and retired after he was forty years, his income from following the Fraternal Emperor for the past twenty years was enough for him to buy more than fifty acres of farms in the countryside!

Moreover, such a veteran can get a pension of 700 to 800 francs every year after retirement. Don’t think that the money is less, but it is just astronomical in the countryside, which is enough for him to live a very wealthy and well-off life!

It can be seen from this that the military aristocratic group established by the Napoleon family, including all veteran organizations, is a super huge community of interests!

With such a huge community of interests, you will cut off their financial resources, which is a great deal!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!
