As the sun sets, the sun shines on the earth, flashing an embarrassing red light.

The artillery fire in Paris has ended, the government army has entered the city, and from time to time there are still sporadic gunshots, as if to tell you about the unwillingness of the revolutionaries.

Returning to Versailles again, Napoleon IV was distraught. The former palatial palace is now only a ruined place.

For Napoleon IV, the Palace of Versailles was more than just a palace, it was the place where he was born and raised. Suddenly, the home is gone, and the pain is known only to those who have experienced it.

Perhaps out of revenge, the revolutionary government of Paris destroyed the palace, a symbol of imperial power, before its fall, as if to swear in this way that the two sides would not share the hatred of heaven.

In a sense, they succeeded. The Palace of Versailles is a symbol of the French monarchy, destroying not only a palace, but also the supreme dignity of imperial power.

Napoleon IV, whose face was pale, asked in a trembling voice: "Has the head of the chaotic party been caught?" ”

At this moment, Napoleon IV had only one idea, to arrest the people who had destroyed his "home" and crush them to ashes in order to vent his hatred.

The Minister of Police, Ansochi, replied nervously: "Not yet, it is said that on the third day of our attack, the leader of the rebel party ran away. ”

The fact that Paris was so easily captured was directly related to the departure of the leaders of the revolutionary party.

This is Paris, and there are so many buildings that the government army is afraid to use heavy artillery.

If it weren't for the loss of leadership, and the troops in the city fighting on their own, this "attack and defense of Paris" would have lasted for a month or two, and the resistance might have lasted a year and a half.

Good upbringing, not worth mentioning in the face of cruel reality. An enraged Napoleon IV roared: "What are you doing here without catching anyone?"

Hurry up and arrest someone for me, if you can't catch the leader of the chaotic party, you won't come back! ”

There is only one word that comes to Ansoqi's mind: "Settle accounts after the fall". As Minister of Police, Ansochi was directly responsible for the revolution that spread across the country.

As in previous revolutions, with a little police help, most of the time the situation will not develop to the worst.

The incompetence of the police is determined by the situation in France, and it is unfair to simply blame the Minister of Police. But this world has never been fair, and this pot Ansoqi must be carried.

There are many reasons for the inadequacy of the police, and Napoleon IV could not change this situation, even if the entire police system was replaced.

Before returning to Paris, we need to be in the same boat, and no matter how dissatisfied we are, Napoleon IV must endure it.

It should have been settled after a while, after the domestic situation has stabilized. Now stimulated by the destruction of the Palace of Versailles, I really can't help it, so I broke out in advance.

Ansoqi wanted to speak again and again, the explanation was to cover up, things had already happened, and no matter what the reason, the responsibility could not be escaped.

The arrest of the leader of the rebel party was only an excuse for his resignation, and if the French police had been so powerful, the revolutionary party would have disappeared long ago.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, Ansoqi left without looking back.

Looking at the back of this far away, everyone's hearts sank, and the sadness of the rabbit and the fox arose.

Someone needs to be responsible for the rebellion, and if there is such a big mess, there must be enough people in the government to take responsibility, and this person must not be the emperor.

Napoleon IV was not yet in his prime, there was no heir, and if he abdicated from the throne, the Bonaparte dynasty would be finished.

A police minister alone is clearly not enough, and Napoleon IV did not appoint a prime minister, which makes things confusing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Foreign Minister Terence Bulkin, who did not need to bear the burden, opened his mouth to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the weather is late, let's settle down first!" ”

The Palace of Versailles was in ruins and could not be repaired in a short time, and the emperor needed a new palace to live in.

……

Napoleon IV was still looking for a new home, and the British couldn't help it. Seeing that the French government suppressed the Paris Revolution, the British government wanted to intervene in the war in the Near East.

At the cabinet meeting, Foreign Secretary George: "The rebellion in Paris was suppressed, the situation in France stabilized, and the Italian independence organization did not hold out for long.

The next focus of our diplomacy is the war in the Near East, and judging from the current situation, the Ottomans are still doing very well.

Under the siege of the anti-Turkish alliance on multiple fronts, it was possible to retreat in an organized manner, which was beyond our expectations.

I propose to increase the level of assistance to the Government of Sudan to help them withstand the first wave of the anti-Turkish coalition and crush the Austrian plot. ”

Prime Minister Gladstone frowned and asked in disbelief: "My Foreign Secretary, are you sure you are not wrong?" With the strength of the Ottomans alone, was it possible to hold off the offensive of the anti-Turkish alliance? ”

The "first wave of offensive" was directly filtered into an "offensive" by Gladstone, and in Gladstone's impression, the Ottomans were able to survive in the face of the siege of the two empires, which can be regarded as a super-level performance.

Foreign Secretary George replied with great confidence: "I can be sure that the news coming back from the embassy is indeed true.

The Ottomans resisted very fiercely, and now the whole people are soldiers, and the anti-Turkish alliance is advancing very painfully.

On the coast of the Sea of Marmara, the Ottoman army also defeated the anti-Turkish alliance many times and achieved considerable successes.

According to the current situation, as long as the supplies are sufficient, there is hope for the Ottoman Empire to hold out for two or three years.

For such a long time, the French were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

When the time comes, we will work together with the European countries to pressure Austria to abandon its plan to annex the Ottomans, and the chances of success are very good.

No matter how bad it is, we can force Austria to accept the fact that Depp and Pédé will merge to form North Germany. ”

On the issue of maintaining the balance on the European continent, the British Foreign Office has always been in the vanguard. It has always maintained the fine tradition of "suppressing whichever country is the strongest on the European continent".

After hesitating for a moment, Gladstone waved his hand and said, "Since you are so confident, let's go and give it a try."

I hope your plans go smoothly and I look forward to the good news from you.

However, supporting the Ottoman Empire still needs to be carefully invested, and we must consider the sunk costs. ”

The lack of confidence did not prevent Gladstone from accepting the plan. The British Empire had a lot of money, and a few supplies were not a problem at all.

Ten thousand rounds of ammunition, as long as they can injure or kill an Austrian soldier, the London government is a bloody profit.
