C3242 a war that you don't understand

Michelle's ringing of the bell signaled the complete separation of Paris Commune and the Third Republic of France. The civil war finally began.

However, this civil war was full of comic effects at the beginning, causing countless Historian to be puzzled!

Because from the beginning of the battle, there had not been any serious conflicts. Since Le Kongte's vanguard unit was exposed, for an entire three hours, neither side had actually fired a single shot.

The whole battle did not seem like a war, but a common street demonstration in the future. Those soldiers only knew how to use their bodies to fight against the common people, but their killing weapons were useless.

Alarm bells sounded in various parts of Paris. Basically, the Montmartre plateau and all the artillery positions in the Belweve Industrial District had been ambushed by government troops.

Trochu had invested an entire twenty battalions into this plan, with the number nearing thirteen thousand. Of course, with so many people, sneak attacks would also be the key to exposing the truth.

All plans for a sneak attack on the city went bankrupt. Michelle's alarm rang and woke up the citizens of the city. Following which, more bells rang and all the citizens got up and walked onto the streets.

Before National Guard could even take action, the furious citizens of Paris took the lead and walked onto the streets to confront the soldiers. They used their bodies to block the soldiers' advance, cursing non-stop as saliva flew everywhere.

This chaos had obviously woken up the German Army s and Chinese Army s who were surrounding the city. The Shabelle Gate had always been the guarding grounds for the Chinese troops, so Xiao Letian did not stay in the Versailles for the past few days.

When the city was on fire, the Führer put on his army coat and went up to the tower to look out over the city!

"Good boy …" The entire city was mobilized! The commotion caused by Thiers is truly not small … "

But it was not small, especially on the right bank of the main attacking battlefield, Paris. The fire had already started to light up the sky, and this was not because someone was setting fire to the city, but because the campfires of the defense lines set up by the communes had been set ablaze.

Of course, there had to be firelight during the night battles. There was no electricity in that era, so the night lighting was still ignited. Furthermore, there clearly wasn't enough kerosene lamps to burn on the battlefield.

The most primitive and effective method was still torches and bonfires!

A bonfire was lit. Almost all the crossroads were filled with bonfires. The torches in people's hands crackled, and boiling pine oil dripped down. No one knew if it hurt even if it burned their arms.

The people were already in high spirits. The burning flames combined with their anger were the best catalyst for the atmosphere on the battlefield. The unarmed commoners used their chests to block the bayonets of the soldiers.

The military officers behind the army fired again and again, but none of the soldiers obeyed their orders!

The chaos in the entire city was being reported by spies one after another. Xiao Letian stood on top of the city gate tower as if he was present at all times.

Luo Huo was already dumbstruck. "Such a big commotion actually didn't start a fight? Both sides did not shoot? Only occasionally? Are you trying to scare me? "

A lot of people could not understand the current situation they were in. Even Sima Yun and Director Wang spoke up in confusion, "Didn't the commune get into a fierce fight with Trochu's subordinates before?"

"When we were looting the Tuileries' Palace and the Louvre, the commune and the government army confronted each other along the Seine. Both sides shot at each other, and quite a few people died …"

"How come in a few months, both sides have become grazing sheep?" They're not even making a move? "

Xiao Letian rubbed his eyes as he lowered the telescope: "I can't see anything, I'm so tired." Stop guessing blindly, what I taught you before, do not look at the name of any confrontation, you have to look at what the main body of the name is! "

"Is Trochu's government the same as his? Is the composition of the army the same? Previously, it was called Interim Government, but now, it is the real France's Third Republic! "

Xiao Letian tightened the fur coat on his shoulders, the soldiers under him handed over a cup of hot tea, and they all watched the battle while enduring the cold wind of one or two in the morning.

"The conflict between Interim Government and the commune didn't erupt in a single day. When Interim Government was just established, the two sides had cooperated together before … Don't forget, every person in the National Guard who is in the hands of a commune has military pay! "

"But as we surrounded the city, the conflict between them gradually revealed itself, and the differences in their beliefs eventually created a huge conflict... It is not known who fired the first shot, but after the first shot, hatred spreads.

"But things are different now. After a few months of truce, the cold wind and snow this winter has caused the anger in both sides to lessen a lot. The hatred has weakened a bit …"

"More importantly, the main body of the soldiers that make up the Government of France Army has changed!"

"It used to be a war between the communists and the Paris garrison, but after Thiers's arrangement, many new troops from the south of France joined in!"

"This is interesting! You have to study this France carefully. Their people awakened early, and they are filled with romantic feelings. It is very easy to be called ideal, fair, justice, truth, conscience … "Such a big and weak concept is enough to confuse us all!"

"To be honest, the south has never experienced the pain of having one of their own killed. These soldiers still sympathize with the poor!"

"To be honest, the slogans and ideals of the commune are very marketable in the France … Because where the gap between rich and poor lies, there is also a clear gap between the weak and the poor. "

"Would such an army be willing to slaughter their own people? Is this psychological barrier that good? "

Xiao Letian's rhetorical question caused all the generals present to sink into deep thought. Yepingtai frowned and said, "Could it be that they don't know the military order that is like a mountain? "Do they dare to disobey the military order?"

Sima Yun sighed: "You can't really put it like that, the military order is like a mountain to see how the soldiers look like. Our soldiers have all gone through harsh training to become new soldiers, and have also experienced the baptism of war!"

"Have these soldiers? Hehe … They are just some youngsters with patriotic feelings that Gan Bida had gathered in the south! "

"I don't think there's even three months of recruit training before they shoot and send it to the battlefield …" "These people are fighting purely because of patriotism!"

"They are very cute and very respectable... However, they were not real armies! "The army shouldn't be like this …"

Luo Huo scratched his head: "Haha, Master's bet is victorious again … …" Thiers was definitely going to lose … "I think that Master will start a casino in the future, and just focus on the path of transportation. There's no reason for me to lose money!"

Xiao Letian grinned: "Sure! I'll set it up when we get back home. I'll make a big casino that all the Chinese will be playing in together … What do you say body color? "What about the lottery ticket?"
