C2934 Thiers's Sly

No one would have thought that Thiers would be so determined, he had actually become the role model for the festive season tonight. From the beginning to the end, he strongly expressed that he would not enter the highest provisional committee.

Not only that, he had also proposed for General Trochu to be the person in charge of the temporary committee!

Seeing that he was so resolute, the other representatives who had already chosen to support him were all confused. They did not know what Trochu was going to do, but according to their understanding of him, this person was like a typical old cunning fox.

It was precisely because of this confusion that the other members of Parliament became indecisive, and the complex looks they exchanged slowly receded.

Gan Bida had also attempted to recommend Thiers as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Elder, but to his surprise, Thiers rejected him immediately. Furthermore, he said on the spot that if he continued to force Thiers, he would not even be a councilor in Paris anymore.

Only then did these people realize that he was serious. Applause immediately rang out. If someone was willing to put up such a high front at such a crucial moment, then the people behind them wouldn't be able to compete for power and profits.

Who doesn't have face?

Only Blanqui was frowning. He knew that Thiers had some tricks up his sleeves, but he was still unable to understand it. It was only when Thiers started to make his proposal later on that Blanqui finally came to a realization.

At the moment, Blanqui was completely righteous, it was as though the Holy Light had entered his body! His first proposal was to ask Congress to vote on a new government cabinet headed by General Trochu.

Even if it was the Interim Government s, they had to take the lead. Although they had not determined whether it was the presidential system or the Prime Minister system, they could not afford to be headless.

The old General Trochu had the qualifications and the hundred and eighty thousand soldiers of the Paris Defence Force. This was the last elite troop of the army that Paris could muster.

They were all regular soldiers, and were absolutely not something the defense Self Guard's grassroots could compare to!

Everyone immediately supported this proposal. Everyone present voted for it!

Trochu was so excited that his face turned red. In his whole life, he had never thought that he would become the number one person in France! Although it was only the temporary head of the committee, he knew that as long as he could lead France through this crisis, the other president would definitely not be able to escape.

This was something that would leave a mark in history. Was he going to reach the pinnacle of his life?

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Old General Trochu officially became the highest Leader of the 26 people's committee, serving as the Defense Minister and commanding the army of the entire France.

At two in the morning, cheers and applause rang out once again outside Bourbon's palace. General Trochu's rule did not arouse any opposition from the masses.

Soon after, Thiers's performance started again. The second person he nominated was the leader of the moderate faction, Representative Fa Fuer. He nominated him as the person in charge of the diplomatic service, as the temporary head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Fa Fuer was famous for being a moderate in the council, many powers had a close relationship with him, although some people objected to this proposal, they would definitely not hold the majority.

Although many Congressman felt that Fa Fuer was too soft and that they would not lose out in the negotiations with Prussia, when they saw that their Senate had raised their hands in agreement, they could only obey.

The council was like this. On the surface, it seemed very fair, but wherever there were people, there would be martial arts world!

Parties were legal, mentoring relationships, seniors, and juniors. Regional cooperation, including capital, were closely linked between people.

To be able to become a member of the Senate must have a very broad base of representatives. In other words, the representatives need their own Senate leaders to protect their own interests.

These were all small gangs. As long as the boss wanted to, they had to listen to whatever the others said.

Soon enough, the voting results were out, two-thirds of the members agreed on the bill, and Fa Fuer officially became the person in charge of the Interim Government's diplomatic service.

The good old man Fa Fuer turned to look at Thiers with gratitude. He knew that he would not be able to obtain such a high position without his support.

The news of Fa Fuer's election did not cause any dissatisfaction from the public. Although the negotiation table would be a little softer, after all, this was a choice made by the National Assembly, so the citizens had to listen.

But what was even more incomprehensible was that Thiers actually proposed a proposal once again. This time, Blanqui understood that Thiers was planning to retreat in order to advance forward, and wanted to control the parliament in a different way!

During the chaos, he had chosen to save everyone in the city. With so many councilors protected by him, it was only natural that they would show him some kindness.

After that, Thiers arrogantly stated that he would not enter the group of 26, which made his speech extremely enticing!

With the support of multiple Reputation points, Thiers was able to approve all of the proposals, what was wrong with that? Wasn't there not a single seat left in this mess?

Just at this moment, Thiers had already opened his mouth. "I want to nominate Member Gan Bida as Minister of the Interior …"

"I object!" Blanqui already couldn't care so much, he didn't even hear the name clearly before standing up and expressing his opposition.

"I object... How could Thiers keep making proposals? Why can't others... "He's eliminating himself!"

Trochu raised his gavel and began to beat the table as hard as he could, "Silence, silence! Who are you? "Hmm …" Blanqui! When did you come in? "

"You are not a councilor, why are you making such a ruckus? "Throw him out …"

The worker leaders who followed Blanqui in were immediately angered. At least there were more than a hundred of them, they stood up and shouted, "The council is unfair, citizens have the right to express their opinions! "You are trying to hit yourself …"

At the very least, there were a lot of councilors who were close to the left faction in the council. When they saw that their comrades-in-arms had already jumped out to turn the case around, they also stood up and shouted loudly.

"I suspect that you two are secretly colluding …" All of you are chosen representatives of the right and the centre, you can only represent the interests of the capitalists! "

"Where are the workers? What about the farmers of the France? Their representative, none of you have suggested... This is repulsive! "

"The vote just now was invalid, it was invalid!"

Trochu's nose became crooked from anger. "Silence, silence! What did he mean by eliminating others? There was no illegal side to the voting process. More than half of the council members agreed to it.

"You think that Gan Bida is not suitable to become the Minister of the Interior? You can propose according to the procedure! No one is restricting your rights... But if you clamor in Parliament, I have the right to expel you! "

"Our motherland is already in the middle of a crisis, don't tell me that your eyes are only focused on the power struggle?"

The people on the left were furious. They had not even managed to grab a seat yet and had ended up with a title of power struggle.

However, he did not expect that the power of the entire council's right and middle faction was too strong, so he immediately rejected his proposal.

Blanqui frowned as he looked at everything before him. At this moment, he hated Napoleon III more than anyone else.

"Dammit, if it wasn't for you continuously suppressing us all these years, how could the council lack our influence …"

"Right now, the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing. The representatives who voted are the ones who were left behind from the Empire..." How can this be fair, it's impossible! "

Thiers looked at him and sneered in his heart, "You want to play? I'll play with you until the end! "
