C3230 Thiers was elected President

These red wine from the Monastery were not passed down to the world and they didn't have any brand. Outsiders couldn't buy them at all. In this era, just having money alone was not enough. One had to have the right to enjoy it.

The amount of red wine that flowed out from these monasteries every year was very sparse. Moreover, each and every one of the monasteries had a different taste of red wine. Only those who were experts in drinking would be able to taste the difference.

These collectible red wine were all treasures that only the Emperor and high-ranked nobles could enjoy. A small character like Thiers wouldn't even be able to smell them.

But today he could drink the wine of the Abbey as open as water!

Thiers, whose face was flushed, enjoyed the tipsy feeling that was brought to him by the alcohol. Beside his hand, he saw the threatening telegram that he had just transferred from Paris to him.

"Exchanging hostages? Hahaha … Do you think I'm a bandit or a pirate? "

"Using the life of an archbishop in exchange for Blanqui? Hahaha … What does it matter to me whether Darvabel dies or not, does it matter to me? "

"Someone, come!" Thiers called out, and Representative Sutton quickly walked in. When Thiers saw that it was him, not his usual follower, he immediately put away his uncaring expression and sat up.

"Roman, my good friend, have a drink... "This is a rare treasure of the Monastery!"

"Thank you …" Sarfrauman took a sip of the blood-red wine and said with a sigh, "Have you heard? Xiang Ying escaped from Biarritz in panic. It seems that his discussion was not going smoothly! "

"What does that have to do with us? The Spaniard was just like a group of bulls. But that's good too, the more fierce the fight in the Philippines, the more we can profit from it! "

Representative Lauman hesitated for a moment before finally opening his mouth, "I actually came to ask you a question, about Blanqui's treatment …. I've already read the commune telegram. Do you have any objections? "

"I want to emphasize that the commune is too big. There are 300,000 people who can fight, and there are even millions of people supporting them …" We have to be careful! "

Thiers solemnly nodded his head: "En, yes, what do you think?"

"I think we should exchange!" This way, the situation will quickly calm down and it will be beneficial for your future governance! "

"I agree with your judgement very much!" Thiers nodded his head, "But there is one problem, I am not the ruler of France, the council has not granted me the authority, I cannot issue an order!"

"The elections have not started yet, the representatives from all the regions have not arrived yet, and I am already giving out orders? This is against the law, and the provinces will not listen! "

But he still wanted to give it a last try. "You..." Could you exert some influence on him? After all, Representative Fa Fuer had also discussed this matter behind his back! "

There was a large group of people in the French Parliament who did not differentiate between left and right. Their governance was very gentle and flexible, and their prestige was also high.

He had to give her face!

"How about this, let me first state my intentions … "I personally agree with your suggestion. I will personally greet the province below with my identity!"

"Then I'll forward this telegram to the council, and you can take your advice... In any case, Blanqui's life is not in danger, so there's still plenty of time! "

After sending off Sutton Raman, Thiers called his secretary over with a sneer and said, "Did you hear that? "Please go and register …"

"Ah?" Are you really going to give the order to issue people to the province? "

"Are you stupid!?" You won't drag it out! If the order was given to the telegraph room, what if the messenger forgot? One day, you have to deal with as many documents as you have in the sea.

"Hehe …" "I understand, I'll do it right away!"

Thiers looked out of the window at the northern sky and said with a ferocious expression, "The France's tumor must be eradicated, do not leave a single one alive! You want me to release Blanqui? "Dream on …"

This old fox, Thiers, wouldn't let anything happen to his path to becoming the next President. He chose to drag things out and gave some hope to the people in the commune.

Following that, a strange short period of peace broke out in France. All the powers calmed down and the army stopped fighting. Other than diplomats from all over the country jumping up and down, the civilians showed signs of resuming their production.

Xiao Letian and his brothers from the Hua Clan had a rare chance to rest. Other than the fact that Xiang Ying had been scolded by the Head of the Guards and was sent to William military port to supervise the cultivation of Zhiyuan Warship for some unknown reason, everything else seemed to be extremely harmonious.

The number of council members gathering in Bordeaux became more and more. Thirty days after Xiang Ying was blasted to Wilhelm military port, the Bordeaux City Council finally gathered the representatives of the various provinces' council members.

At the moment, European envoys had gathered in Bordeaux to witness the election of the new government, which was far more legitimate than the elections for the Bourbon's palace after the war in Sedan.

This era was no longer a time for people to live in seclusion. The legitimacy of a government needed to be recognized not only by the people, but also by other countries.

As long as there were no major problems, the final result would be recognized by the entire world, and the newly elected President would be able to become the true legal ruler of the France.

Xiao Letian, Bismark, William I, Queen Victoria, Yi Suobeila II, Gladstone, Benjamin … None of the giants who influenced the development of the times appeared on the streets of Bordeaux.

But each of them has the power to influence the entire election!

But no one was going to do anything, because the election was just a show, and the final result was decided long before the election.

Thiers had been communicating, negotiating and exchanging benefits with multiple forces since before the Franco-Prussian War … After making countless dark deals, these influential figures in history finally acknowledged him.

If these people would not object, then no one could oppose him in this era!

The Bordeaux Congress, with more than seventy percent of the votes, elected Thiers as the first President of the Third Republic of France!

Bordeaux became a sea of joy, and it was rare for the council to reach such a unanimous decision. More than seventy percent of the council members approved of Thiers, and it seemed that this person could really lead the France out of the pit of suffering.

The higher the support rate, the more he would be able to gather the will of the people and gather all the defensive powers!

"Long live the Republic! Long live President Thiers! " The crowd cheered as they telegraphed the good news to all parts of France, and the most excited man in Bordeaux's council was the wanted man of the Imperial Bank, Henry.

During the war, the manager of the Imperial Bank had stolen a quarter of a million francs worth of cash from Thiers to become a fugitive.

Today, it was finally the season of harvest. Henry knew that his good days had finally come!

Amongst the crowd, Thiers's loyal mercenary led Henry onto the carriage and said, "Mister Henry, you should go to the royal ball earlier than planned. You're about to become the first governor of the Third Republic's central bank.

"Thank you, thank you! "God bless you …" Henry took out all the money he had and gave it to the mercenaries as a reward. He quickly left the city council in a car.

That night, Henry's body was tied to a boulder and sunk in the mud at the bottom of the Garon River.
