C3023 Radmiro's challenge

Radmiro's question caused everyone present to fall silent for a moment!

Yes, which country are we loyal to? Empire or this Republic? Don't forget that from the very beginning, all the soldiers were personally trained by the emperor's empire, and from the very first day of enlistment, they had all been paid by the emperor.

And the Republic? Until now, there had not been a single government official who had contacted him. Even the status of these 170,000 people had not been clearly fulfilled.

The soldiers didn't know what the future held, and the officers didn't know what the future held!

Would he be able to keep his iron rice bowl? Would the Nobility lose it? Even if he could survive or not, there were no answers to these questions.

The current situation was extremely embarrassing. It was possible that when the major change s of any country fell, there would be this kind of chaos, and the war was even more chaotic.

For a new republic to still have yet to make an inventory of the empire's legacy and to accept it, leaving a total of 170,000 people hanging out in the open for a month, was a mistake in itself.

After the war, Xiao Letian had specially published a book to analyze the causes and effects of the entire Franco-Prussian war as well as the process between them.

The key to regime change was to have a stable morale. The most important thing to the legacy of the previous regime was to have the military command!

The Interim Defence Government that General Trochu led was simply too inexperienced, they actually did not manage to settle the issue of treatment for the Second Empire's veterans at the first possible moment.

If it was Xiao Letian who made the decree for the new nation, the first rule would be to issue a general amnesty. First, he had to make it clear that he would not be held accountable for the culprits of the Second Empire!

It was not that they had no principles, but that they needed to calm their morale. It did not matter how many uprisings were suppressed by the Second Empire, or how many civilians were killed by those armies.

The main culprit was still French Emperor and the others. The crime of being coerced was not big, at least compared to the huge mission of receiving the country's stability, it was very small.

How many people were in the Second Empire's Veterans Group? At least five hundred thousand. With so many unstable factors, if you don't stabilize yourself first, do you still want to win the battle?

Thus, the first general amnesty was to pacify the entire army so that they would have no fear of the new Republic.

The second point is to clarify the treatment of the officers of these armies, at least to ensure that their ranks do not drop, and you can't tell the truth about it, at least not during the Franco-Prussian War.

Uncleared, not demoted... As for the adjustment of nobility treatment, they could slowly discuss it later!

This way, the morale of the troops was set, only the Southern Legion organized by Gan Bida and the others could fight together!

With the's morale during the war, it could be said that in this nation, the longer the war, the more advantage they had!

The news of the Orleans's victory had already encouraged the south of France, and there would be more colonial armies coming, at that time, there would definitely be a strong army approaching the Mace.

That would be a great time for the Mace to break out of the encirclement. Once the Northern and Southern Legions reunited, the France would have hundreds of thousands more elite troops.

Wasn't a game of chess a living thing?

It was a pity that Trochu was not a civil servant, he was not good at settling such a responsible political situation, and wanted to change the dynasty! This was not a game that ordinary people could play.

Of course, Xiao Letian wouldn't avoid guessing with his most sinister intentions at all those politicians in Paris!

Trochu's authority in the Second Empire was far inferior to McMahon's and Ba Zan's. Just look at the mission that Trochu was assigned by the French Emperor in this war.

This kind of person was only the leader of the Interim Government because of luck. Once a great character returned to Paris, who would listen to him?

In other words, there was another possibility for Trochu to deliberately not give the Mace's huge army of one hundred and seventy thousand any political explanation, and purposely leave these people out in the open!

Maybe in his heart, he secretly hoped that Ba Zan, McMahon and the rest would all die, wouldn't their own positions become even more secure if they died?

The reason that history produced could be easily guessed, but there would only be one conclusion. In any case, the Interim Government did not declare anything against the Empire's Veterans Group.

All of the talents left behind by the French Emperor were currently in a state of anxiety. This was also the main reason why the royalist party could cause trouble from there.

Radmiro stood on the podium and passionately brainwashed the commanders of the entire army. From his words, the Republic had already become an evil organization that was at odds with the royalist party.

"Loyalty? I am loyal to this country, but who is loyal to us? Who will protect the merits of all that we have struggled for our entire lives and fought with our blood in front of you? "

"Loyalty has never been one-way. We are loyal to this country, so the country must also be loyal to that reward and punishment system!"

"Does anyone from the Interim Government care about us at this time? Did anyone ever mention a word about our treatment, our soldiers' treatment? "

"What kind of rescue plan did they organize? And how were they going to open the supply line? "Without these things, do we have to starve to death and die in this lonely city?"

"Gentlemen! I'm afraid that all the hard work of our lives has now been thrown into the garbage heap, and all the hard work of our lives has been turned into rubbish … "

"What should we do? Even if we could die generously and follow our soldiers? Is it going to be a martyr? "

"On what basis! These soldiers are innocent, why would they be sacrificed for nothing! "

"You opponents, answer my question. Why would our soldiers die in vain?"

Radmiro's question turned the faces of everyone present ashen. Who could not understand the current situation? If the grain could last for one month, then so be it. If the ammunition could last for three months, then that would be the end of the food supply!

If we don't surrender, we will die for sure. It's not that we are all afraid of death, but even if we die, there's still some meaning to it!

The composition of Ba Zan's huge army of one hundred and seventy thousand was very interesting, one-third of them were his absolute direct descendants. These troops had all followed him for many years, so it could be said that other than the French Emperor, they were loyal to him alone.

As for the other one third, they were temporarily transferred over by the other elite troops. Some of them were sent over by the French Emperor, while the others were temporarily sent over to the battle.

Although this portion of the older soldiers were not Ba Zan's direct descendants, they all belonged to the direct descendants of the French Emperor and were also loyal disciples that had been raised by the Bonaparte Family for many years.

As for the last third, it was a local army. They were formed at the last moment to cooperate with the Franco-Prussian War, and were the most chaotic troops whose thoughts had been eroded!
