C2698 Conspiracy of Empress Ou Renni

What Thiers said was right, the angry citizens were not rational at all. It was very easy to encourage them to go out and cause trouble, but it was extremely difficult to make them calm down!

Let alone the emperor and empress, even their Organizer would find it hard to persuade them to make a move!

Either the Queen agreed to their conditions right away, or she allowed them to continue causing trouble until they were exhausted, and then left on their own accord.

But these two things were not too realistic, Empress Ou Renni would never agree to let these people arm the five hundred thousand National Guard, and looking at their fanatical expressions, this berserk state was not something that could be dispelled in a day or two!

This was a national war, an all-out war between the France and Prussia. It was a great war to mobilize all the military forces of the two peoples. Millions of people were killed and hundreds of millions of people were captured within the war.

The spirits of the two races had been mobilized. The nationalist spirit was extremely high!

France was originally a proud race, how could they bear with failure!

The border lines had already been breached, and the Alsatian and Lorraine regions were already on fire. The enemy had already invaded their own country, killing and looting. No one could tolerate this!

All of the France's face and skin looked as if they were being ripped off alive.

On the streets of Paris, at the sight of these citizens from other countries, these agitated citizens felt as if they were being mocked and insulted!

These two defeats had truly stung the weak nerves of the French!

Empress Ou Renni knew that if they did not calm down today, there was a high chance that they would undergo a 24-48 hour or even longer demonstration!

Then the whole of Paris would be in total disarray!

Empress Ou Renni took a few deep breaths, restrained her anger and said to Thiers: "You already have what you want, take this news out and bring it to Blanqui and the others …"

"Tell them, if the empire collapses, the Prussian will invade our borders. We won't get a perfect egg under the cover of the nest, and they won't be able to finish us off!"

"The nation is in trouble, not a time for you to get mixed up in your own thoughts! It will do us good to restore order in Paris! "

The Queen had no choice but to lower her head and converse with Thiers.

Thiers stood up straight and bowed respectfully to the empress, "Please be at ease empress, I am also a patriot! "I will do my best to persuade the demonstrators, and I will do my best!"

Thiers stayed in the Tuileries' Palace for a full seven hours. In these seven hours of time, he finally got what he wanted.

In other words, although the fruit of victory was not in his mouth, it was already in his pocket!

Thiers left the Imperial Palace and quickly blended into the crowd. Under the protection of countless of republican leaders, he quickly went to the rear of the group to hold meetings.

The workers' faction represented by Thiers, as well as the leaders of the loose nationalist forces, including Thiers's comrades all gathered together to study this good news.

Their struggle against the French Emperor for so many years had paid off today, but when they heard the news that the Queen had given in, the tavern erupted into applause.

After that, Thiers gave a speech on behalf of the Queen, in which he strongly hoped that the various factions would control their supporters and try to restore order in Paris.

The revolutionaries of this era still had some romanticism to them, and there were still simple shadows on their bodies. Hearing Thiers's analysis, no one present had any thoughts of chasing after him anymore, and the order to retreat was quickly issued from the headquarters.

Six in the afternoon, the sun was setting!

The Champs-Elysées suddenly erupted into cheers!

"We have won!" The Empire has compromised with us! "

"They agreed to our conditions, and allowed the formation of five hundred thousand National Guard s!"

"Long live! Long live the people! Long live the Self Guard! "

The whole day's worth of suffering had not been in vain. After a day's worth of suffering, nearly five hundred people had been struck unconscious, and more than two hundred people had been injured due to the overcrowding. All of this had paid off.

Although the conscription could not be done now, and even if the council had to go through the formalities, this was still a good omen, wasn't it!

The hungry and thirsty citizens finally began to disperse in the dusk. Thousands upon thousands of citizens returned home, and the dense mass of heads in Champs-Elysées began to disperse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Montaubon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself, The most dangerous day has finally passed!

But before he could return to the palace to congratulate the empress, he suddenly heard a dissonant voice from the Tuileries' garden!

"Citizens of Paris! We can't go! We can't fall for it! "

"The enemy is using a strategy to slow them down, they are just waiting for them to change! What council discussions, they are just stalling for time! "

Listening to the impassioned words of the individual speakers, many of the demonstrators who wanted to return home stopped in their tracks!

"Citizens, please think about it carefully. Although the council will definitely pass the military expansion plan, what about the time? How much time does it take to discuss and vote? "

"Don't be silly, my comrades. This is the enemy's strategy to slow down the enemy's advance!"

"They want to build a National Guard with 500,000 people! How big a project is this? How many numbers do you want to build? Who does the commander appoint? How were the weapons and equipment distributed? Who's got a good weapon and who's got a bad one? "

"How are we going to deal with the logistics? Who is going to provide us with uniforms, flags, leather equipment, horses, vehicles, etc.?"

"If all these matters have been discussed, it will take at least half a year. By then, the war will have been over!"

"Wake up! Good citizens! The enemy was too disgusting! They really have figured out how we feel about this! "

"Although we are all fighting for the same goal, we belong to different organizations and different political parties!"

"Once we arrive at the discussion stage, the leaders will definitely argue over who should get more benefits and who should get less equipment!"

"Think about it! My loved ones, if the cannons are not enough, who should be the one to split the cannons? With so many factions here, there will definitely be a lot of arguments! "

"That old demoness Ou Renni is really malicious. She wanted to use benefits to break apart our united hearts, hoping that the whole council would fall into chaos and let us fight over her!"

"As long as there's a quarrel, the time will be put off indefinitely! At that time, before the National Guard is established, maybe the army of the French Emperor will already have returned to Paris! "

"You can't be fooled! "Comrades, we need to continue the battle and demonstrate our strength!"

Where did this smart person come from? With just one sentence, Ou Renni's scheme had been completely exposed!
