C2640 The Empire Is Mad

In fact, since the declaration of war, French Emperor had already regretted it a little. He had once considered letting Britain or the other countries mediate, finally settling this crisis at the negotiating table!

But later, when he saw the latest intelligence on Prussia, the French Emperor finally understood that all negotiations were impossible. In fact, Prussia had already been holding back his desire to start a war with France!

Especially when the strong mobilization power of Prussia emerged, the gathering speed of 30,000 troops a day completely stunned Napoleon III, only then did he start to take a new look at Prussia's military system.

After careful consideration, the French Emperor decided to end the battle quickly and burn the enemies' land. It had to be said that this was the only way to break out of this predicament.

It had to be said that under the influence of Napoleon's military ideology, France had the highest number of soldiers and military officers in Europe at that time.

They had very powerful light infantry, and on average, they had been in the army for seven years. Almost everyone had seen blood on the battlefield before.

Furthermore, the French Emperor has an outstanding military officer system. From the top to the bottom, the education of the military officers is very high!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that in a situation where the number of people was equal and the difference in equipment and equipment was not too great, Prussian army was not a match for the French army!

Furthermore, the soldiers of French Emperor were also equipped with a lot of Sharpei Needle Spears. This kind of weapon's performance had already been forced to the flat surface, but the number of them still far surpassed the number of Mauser's rifle in Prussian army.

French Emperor also had a secret weapon in his hands, which was the Montigny Machine Gun that even the soldiers of the did not know about. The 37 wires and barrel were fixed together and he could fire with a spinning wheel at the fastest rate possible to reach 444 bullets per minute!

This kind of shooting speed was already considered a miracle at that time. The American Gatling in Xiao Letian's hands shot at around 200 rounds per minute, but this fellow's shooting speed had actually more than doubled!

A single soldier had a high level of quality, and their weapons were even more advanced. This was the confidence that Napoleon III had in finishing the battle quickly!

The Prince Eugen listened to his father's explanation, and was rendered speechless. However, in his heart, he was still unconvinced, and muttered with his mouth agape!

"You can't bet on war like this! What if our attack was thwarted? How many days would the limited ammunition at the front line last? What if the Prussian is even more tenacious than we thought? When the time comes, we will not be able to receive any of the troops or supplies, I am afraid that we will give the Prussian a chance! "

"Shut up!" Napoleon III roared in anger, "If you are not my son, then just based on your words that have disrupted my morale, it is enough for me to send you to a military court!"

"France will win! We have to win! "

"Well, my dear Louie, don't be angry, you should be happy that the child has the spirit to think for himself! After all, he is still in the learning stage! "

The French Emperor gasped for breath as he placed his hands on the table. The Crown Prince Eugén across him did not say a word but quietly lowered his head to think.

No matter how angry he was, he was still his son and the future master of the empire. Isn't it all because of you! Without war, how could you have ascended to the throne?! The destiny of Bonaparte Family is war and victory! "

"This is the only basis of law for us to ascend the throne! If we can bring about an unending stream of victories to the France, then we can continue to hold onto the throne. If we don't have victory, then we really won't have anything … "

"Child, I know what you're worried about. Follow me …"

With that, the French Emperor walked around the desk and grabbed his son and the Queen's hands before walking out. The palace attendants outside did not know what the Emperor's family was up to, so they did not dare to follow closely behind.

The group directly arrived at the roof of Tuileries' Palace!

The Tuileries' Palace faced the west, and the southern side was the Seine River. The east side of the palace was also the famous Louvre, and between the two palaces, there was a corridor that looked like a palace connecting them.

The Tuileries' Palace was not very tall, with an average height of only four floors. However, he had a steeple that was six stories high, and as long as he could reach here, he would be able to see the beautiful scenery of Paris with a glance. He could even see the farmlands outside the city.

French Emperor pointed to the main road on the other side of the Seine. "Look, what can I do? Do I still have a way out? "

Prince Eugen and the Queen were completely dumbfounded. They never thought that a large demonstration would start right under their noses.

The gathering crowd was as dense as a long dragon, all kinds of small flags were waving in people's hands, the Forbidden Song that followed the sound of the wind was being sung by the people.

"Oh my god, this must be at least twenty to thirty thousand people!" Crown Prince said with a lingering fear.

"How is that twenty or thirty thousand? There are twenty-five thousand people on this street alone, and it was reported by the Paris Police Department this morning …" Today, the number of demonstrators has exceeded 100,000! "

"What do they want? Is there no end to it? " The empress huffed and puffed.

Just at this moment, as if it was already time, a violent shout suddenly erupted from the other side of the river. The group of over 20,000 people slowly moved forward, and countless people also joined in along the way.

The slogan floated over with the wind. "Long live the war!" To Berlin! "

"Annihilate the Germans! Long live France! Long live Napoleon! "

"War!" Victory! The Empire will never be defeated! "

"Capture those spies raised by the Prussian! Catch all the traitors hiding in the imperial court! All the capitulationists will die! "

Waves after waves of shouts and shouts, the people of all Paris went mad!

In their eyes, three days had passed since the declaration of war, but even now, the front line had yet to open fire. There was still no news of the victory, and there were even rumors that the government was going to negotiate with Prussia!

It was intolerable. Was there a faction of surrender in the empire? He must be a Prussian spy. Those nobles were not good people, they just loved their Nobility. They were not patriotic at all!

All of a sudden, the crowd became so excited that anyone who opposed the war was crowned as a capitulationist and was treated as a Prussian spy!

People walk into the streets of their own free will, wailing to express their anger, they want to use action to force the government to never compromise!

The war had already become a medicine that all the French people thought was all-powerful!

The French Emperor said with a trembling voice, "Can I have a way out? Can we have a way out? I dare to back off half a step, these mob s will charge into the palace and drag us out to behead us alive! "

"Anyway, these mob do not care about who the Emperor is. Tu Dao has already seen blood, so what's the difference between our family?"

"Child, don't think too much. The day after tomorrow, leave Paris with me and head to the front. I must personally boost morale … This battle can only be won, it cannot be lost! "

Hearing the war cries of over a hundred thousand people in Paris, Prince Eugen's face turned ashen. He looked towards the north and muttered to himself with worry.

"How did it become like this? Why is it that the situation is suddenly out of our control? The Empire had gone mad! This is madness! "
