C2950 National Guard

Not long after the blissful feeling of escaping from death washed over them, their mood turned heavy once again. The road to Paris was normally busy and the countryside was bustling with activity. There were even many factories and workshops crowded on both sides of the road.

The people that should have been there had all disappeared today. Almost all the villages were lifeless. Only the wild dogs and wild cats were left running around.

There was not a single person working in the farmlands. The black smoke that used to gush out from the small factories and workshops was now all gone!

The tense mood caused the refugees to shut their mouths, and after another ten minutes or so, a clamor suddenly appeared at the end of the southern road, followed by dust flying into the air.

They hid behind the vines and carefully observed their surroundings, but in ten minutes, they saw the red banners of a few National Guard s.

"It's the National Guard of the city! Look, it's the established National Guard … "Long live!"

A few children jumped up and waved their hands towards the soldiers on the road. Very quickly, the Self Guard soldiers rushed down from the road.

"Where did you come from? Have you met an enemy … "

"We come from the Bobini... The enemy was stationed in Bobini last night! Wu wu wu … I've finally met you guys! "

Many women hugged the soldiers and wailed. When the soldiers heard that the fugitives from Bobini were here, they immediately reported the situation to their commander, and soon enough, two war horses came to the scene supporting the two commanders.

"How many enemies are there? "What kind of equipment? How did you guys get here last night …"

"Why did they let you go?"

A series of questions were thrown over. Before the women and children could explain, a commander noticed the crumbs of compressed biscuit at the corner of the boy's mouth.

"What is this?" The soldier snatched from the boy's arms a half-eaten, creamy compressed biscuit.

The little boy was so anxious that he shouted loudly, "Give it to me, give it to me …" "This is what I left for mother and sister, you guys give me …"

A worker leader broke off a crumb and put it in his mouth. His face changed dramatically, "Is this Chinese military food?" When I was in Bavaria, I had a taste of a special product from the East. It seemed to be called some compressed biscuit! "

"What exactly did you encounter? Why did the Chinese people give you military rations to eat? "

"Divide them up, isolate them, interrogate them... Find out what exactly happened? "

The one who had shouted was a Hungary man called Fu Lankeer, sshe was also one of the leaders of the international Workers' Movement, he had come to support Blanqui and the others.

Standing beside him was the Frenchman, De Lekelvzi. The journalist was also a senior figure in the Workers' Movement and had a lot of prestige amongst the left faction.

The two ashen-faced leaders looked at the crying women and children in front of them and felt wronged. The soldiers separated them and began to interrogate them in turn in the grape fields. Even the children were not spared.

"What happened yesterday? Why did the enemy let you go? and why did I give you food to eat … "

"Look …" This woman had money on her? A big bag of francs... "Damned bitch, did you get all this money from selling your country?"

With a "pa" sound, the soldier slapped the little girl hard on the face, "You still dare to speak such nonsense, and dare to lie! Bull money? This money can already buy three robust bulls! "

"Will the invaders pay for what they have stolen?"

"Did you sell yourself to the enemy? A prostitute of such a young age? "Bitch …" Another resounding slap.

No matter how the girl judged it, no one believed her words. "At such a young age, she must have sold off her intelligence. Even if she sold her meat, she wouldn't sell it for that much money!"

"Look …" This old nun had even more money on her! Dammit, over two thousand francs... Where did the money come from! "

There were even soldiers who separated the children and even threatened them in a scolding manner, "Be good and tell the truth and take you to see your mother …" If you dare to not tell the truth, then I'll sell you overseas and become a little black slave! "

"Tell me quickly …" "Stop crying, hurry up and tell me …"

The scene was in complete chaos. No matter how the women and children explained, the soldiers refused to believe it because they absolutely did not believe that there were no invaders in this world who would not rob or commit adultery!

Furthermore, he didn't believe that the invaders would spend money to buy his sheep and cattle. That was simply a fantasy story!

"We did not... God, we didn't. Why didn't you believe me? Wu wu wu … "We were just locked up in the church for the whole night. We didn't do anything …"

De Lekelvzi said with an ashen face, "It's just a group of women and children. They don't look like they're lying, let's just let them go …"

However, Fu Lankeer said with a darkened face, "War is not child's play. This is the first time our National Guard has crossed swords with an invader.

"It's impossible to not understand the enemy's every move! If these women hadn't betrayed the intelligence, how could they have escaped danger safely? How can you get so much money? "

When it came to the topic of the first battle, De Lekelvzi did not speak anymore. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's not interrogate them for now. First, let's ask them about the situation of the enemies they saw …"

"How about weapons and equipment? How much is the quantity? "What's the composition of the troops …"

However, the group of ignorant women and children who had stayed in the town the night before and didn't escape were the only ones. They didn't even know how to count, so how could they count the number of enemies in the dark?

After interrogating them for a long time and getting beaten up a few times, they finally understood that this vanguard unit was made up entirely of Chinese. Other than some translators who had European faces, the rest were Chinese.

Just this tiny bit of information caused the two commanders to fall into a state of great worry.

The chaos began last night, when the Bobini's defeated army and residents sent the terrifying news to Paris.

In the morning, Blanqui announced the founding of the Republic and the establishment of a new government. At four in the afternoon, Blanqui and the others received the first pay of one million francs from the reorganized Ministry of Finance.

Around eight in the evening, there were still half a dozen of Self Guard soldiers who did not receive their daily salary of one and a half francs! But then, near the train station at the north end of Paris, came the shocking news from the Shabelle Gate.

The thirty thousand citizens of Bobini ran into the walls of Paris like homeless dogs. The news of the arrival of the Chinese vanguard unit shook the entire city.

The horses quickly sent the news to the Bourbon's palace, and the 26 people's temporary committee would immediately convene a meeting!

Rumors were flying all over Paris City, these villains of Bobini were exaggerating the number of their enemies to the point of the sky, in their mouths, there were more than 20 thousand Chinese vanguard unit s, there were even some that shouted rumors of 100 thousand enemy troops!

"Bullshit!" It was all bullshit! This time, the entire army that Xiao Letian brought from Asia only amounted to more than two thousand, where can we find twenty thousand, a hundred thousand? "

"These damn idiots, they actually messed up our morale!"

As a representative who listened in, Thiers loudly rejected all the rumors in the city!
