Chapter 218: Civil strife broke out
The government army is vigorously dispatched, and naturally it cannot keep secrets. In fact, every move of the French government has always been watched by the consortium, but everyone did not expect Napoleon IV to overturn the table.
The human heart is complex. "Be lenient with oneself and strict with others" is the norm in society. Despite the fact that they were planning a coup d'état, everyone was furious at the emperor's overturning of the table.
I don't have to say, the arrow is on the bow, and I have to send it. With the actions of the government troops, the capitalists, who had been hiding in the rear and remotely controlled, were now forced to come to the forefront.
"Brothers, take up the weapons in your hands and overthrow the decaying Bonaparte dynasty, put an end to this erroneous war, and establish a ......"
Maxim Sidorov, who had narrowly escaped, was now preaching revolutionary theories to the workers and encouraging them to join in the rebellion.
It can be seen that this is a pseudo-revolutionary party, which only propagates the overthrow of the Bonaparte dynasty and lacks the theory of overthrowing the bourgeoisie.
There is no way, you can't expect the capitalists to rise up and change their lives, right? Even if you talk about it casually, it's easy to goof!
Maxim Sidorov deeply felt what it means to "show talent meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say". No matter how extravagant he spoke on the stage, the mood of the people below was not high.
The idea of "revolution" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and that is limited to intellectuals. Ordinary people are struggling for three meals a day, and they simply don't have time to think about these issues.
The point is that the Bonaparte dynasty has not yet reached the point of anger and resentment, and although there is constant bad news on the front, most of the wars are fought abroad, and the people of Paris do not feel it deeply.
The skyrocketing prices in the country have indeed caused dissatisfaction among everyone. However, in order to stabilize the people's morale, the Paris government has also distributed relief food many times. Although I still can't eat, at least I can't starve to death!
Many people are nostalgic for the good life of Napoleon III, and the "revolution" did not leave a good impression on the Parisian people. The most typical is that after the last Great Revolution, everyone's living standards have dropped significantly.
Seeing that the Spiritual Encouragement Law was not effective against this entrenched rebel army, Maxim Sidorov reluctantly announced: "Conquer the opposite police station, and reward each person with 5,000 francs, and the first to rush in will be rewarded with 50,000 francs......"
No real money ever works, and although the franc has depreciated considerably, five thousand francs is still an astronomical amount to the average person.
Looking at the resurrected rebel army, Maxim Sidorov had no confidence in the prospects of this revolution. In essence, he didn't want a revolution, just an obedient government through a coup.
However, the plan did not change quickly, and the sudden action of Napoleon IV disrupted their plans. The flags that were originally lurking in the government are now reduced to prisoners, and even they have run away in a hurry.
If it weren't for the impossible, Maxim Sidorov would definitely not have gone into battle in person and brought a rabble up to make a revolution.
It's messy, the whole of Paris is in chaos. In the face of the butcher's knife raised by the government, the capitalists and the revolutionary party fought back and opened the prelude to the revolution.
The sound of gunfire, shouts, and cries resounded throughout the city of Paris. The sky was getting darker, and as night fell, the battle continued.
At midnight, perhaps everyone was tired, or perhaps it was too dark to see, and the battle gradually eased.
"Mr. Maxim, the car is ready and ready to go."
Maxim Sidorov nodded: "Hmm! Two hours after I left, I informed the revolutionaries to come and take over the troops. Once you've completed the mission, you're free to decide whether or not to continue with the rest of the battle. ”
It is impossible to lead the revolution, Maxim Sidorov is not so noble and great, and it is necessary to break out today.
The government has already done it, and if it doesn't mess with Paris, he simply can't get out. Once in the hands of the government, the end of the others is unknown, anyway, Maxim Sidorov is dead.
As for the great cause of overthrowing the Bonaparte dynasty, it was naturally left to the revolutionary party. It's good that his identity is not a goof now, if everyone knows that he is the boss of the capital vampire, he will not be torn alive.
You know, since the birth of the bourgeoisie, it has been linked to "unscrupulousness". In particular, those engaged in finance are among the best.
The world will not revolve around the individual, without one Maxim Sidolov, the Paris Civil War still continues.
It's not how powerful the revolutionary army is, it's really the government army that has a lot of concerns. Many times it looks like a war, but in fact it is just a gun in the sky.
No way, the French soldiers were always sympathetic to the revolution. It's okay for them to arrest unscrupulous capitalists, but it's too embarrassing to ask them to shoot at ordinary people.
Although most of the soldiers did not work, there were still some soldiers loyal to the royal family who worked hard, so in general, the government army still pressed the rebels.
……
At the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon IV was not happy to see the government army victorious.
Late at night, Napoleon IV sat quietly in the garden alone, looking at the starry sky, as if in the midst of the flames of war, he heard the heart-rending cry of the ancient city of Paris.
The plans did not change quickly, and judging by the current situation, it is clear that Napoleon IV's purge plan failed.
Although he had arrested many important people in the consortium, confiscated a large amount of goods and materials, and physically dealt a heavy blow to the bourgeoisie, it was a pity that a civil war made these gains tasteless.
The Civil War in Paris was only the beginning, and it is conceivable that in the coming days the remnants of the consortium would surely launch a counterattack.
In normal times, Napoleon IV did not care about a slight backlash, and he was confident enough to settle these troubles.
However, France is facing an attack from the anti-French alliance. The simultaneous outbreak of internal and external troubles will make France, which is already at a disadvantage on the battlefield, even more unsustainable.
"It's not ruthless enough!"
"If only we had done it sooner!"
Napoleon IV muttered to himself. He knew that he was deceiving himself and that violence would not solve the problem. Don't look at the power of the consortium now that it is suppressed, in fact, it will not be long before it will resurge.
In essence, a consortium is a combination of interests, and as long as there are interests, the group will exist. Unless the government is strong enough to cut off their hook-ups at the source.
This is where Napoleon IV envied Franz the most, the Austrian bourgeoisie started late, and before it had time to grow and grow, it met a strong emperor, which directly extinguished the possibility of the birth of a large consortium.
Energy and transportation are either in the hands of the government or the royal family, and the capitalists who dare to make a fuss have been taught to be human beings.
The financial industry and the real industry have been two parallel lines from the beginning, but anyone who plays cross-border or joins a group will immediately encounter a dimensionality reduction blow.
Not to mention the strictest inspections, there will definitely be them. Water and power outages every once in a while are just routine operations; When transporting goods, there must be no train wagons; Purchase......
In fact, not only Austria, but almost all European countries are limiting the power of the consortium, but Austria is the most powerful, and France is the most defeated.
