The most important feature of the French Revolution was that it was fast enough. Once an uprising is launched, it will either succeed or lose immediately, and there is never a protracted war.

This time was no exception, as the countries of the European continent had just received the news that the vigorous second revolution had come to an end.

Without any surprise, the revolutionary government of Paris, which had long since lost the hearts and minds of the people, withdrew from the stage of history, and the radicals seized power.

As the leader of this revolution, Danielle is now guiding the country with high spirits. He did have a reason to be proud that he had taken control of a country at the age of less than thirty.

"Mr. Danière, we have caught Robert, the traitor, when do you think he will be executed?"

The tree fell and the monkey Sun San. The revolutionary government in Paris collapsed, and the politicians who realized the danger were long gone. The revolutionaries were all professional in this respect, except for the unlucky guy who realized it in hindsight - Robert.

As a scapegoat pushed by everyone, Robert's presidency did one thing, that is, to go to Vienna to sign an armistice.

As soon as the treaty entered into force, the political life of the hapless president came to an end. Robert, who was infamous as a traitor and lost his position as president, was naturally snubbed, and he was not even well-informed with him.

Not all the top government officials managed to escape, leaving him, an unlucky bastard, to fall into the hands of the new government.

"Andrew, don't be in a hurry. People are in our hands, and they can't run.

In any case, Robert was also the president of France, the revolutionary father who overthrew the Bonaparte dynasty, and the necessary respect was still needed.

Send someone to watch over him strictly first, so as not to let him have an accident. After the public trial, he will be sent on the road. ”

Others don't know why Robert, the revolutionary father, suddenly became a traitor, but Danielle, as one of the participants, is clear.

But if you know, you know, people still have to be killed. Summing up the lessons of the failures of the previous revolutions, Danielle came to the conclusion that revolutions must shed blood.

No bloodshed is not enough to outrage the people, and no bloodshed is not enough to deter people. A big man like Robert, who has a bad reputation, happens to be the best target for prestige.

The same is killing, and the effects of different killing methods are also completely different. Killing Robert directly, the radicals are certainly happy, but this can't shock people's hearts.

The situation in Paris was very complicated, and as the leader of the Second Revolution, Danielle knew very well what the revolutionary army was, and if it did not intimidate the nobility in the city, the nascent Second Revolutionary regime could be overthrown at any time.

In fact, Robert, the former president, is still a little lighter, and the last object of Liwei is still pulled out of a few big nobles to wipe it off.

However, this kind of thing Danielle can only think about at most. Not to mention whether the Russian troops stationed outside the city will interfere or not, the private army of the nobles alone is a difficult bone to gnaw.

If there was a fight, maybe Wei didn't stand up, but buried himself first.

……

On March 11, 1893, it was a sunny day, and the golden sun shone on the earth, shining on the sprouts of the grass, and the whole world was full of life.

The square of the Palace of Versailles is already full of people at the moment. The French people, who came from far and wide, were anxiously waiting for the execution of the traitors. President Robert.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Admiral Yevgeny, who was watching the excitement, shook his head and thought to himself: "The guillotine has been put on the line, but I don't know if it is the one who executed Louis XVI back then." It's been too long, and there have been restorations in the middle, so it shouldn't be. ”

The president is different from the monarch, this thing itself was not welcomed in the monarchical era, no matter how the French killed, the international community would not have an opinion, and Admiral Yevgeny naturally did not mind watching the excitement.

With the sound of the squeaking of wheels, all eyes converged, and the French soldiers, who had been prepared, hurried into action and forcibly carved a road through the crowd that could be used by prisoner carts.

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs naturally do not exist, and the French people are so hungry that they are about to eat dirt, how can they waste precious food on a "traitor" who is about to go to the guillotine?

There were no rotten leaves and rotten eggs, and Robert still did not escape the attack of the hidden weapon. A group of unruly people still threw out the "hidden weapon" that had been prepared a long time ago.

Because of the distance, Yevgeny didn't see what it was, and it wouldn't be a good thing anyway.

I don't know if it's because it's intentional, or it's because the accuracy is too poor, Robert, as the protagonist, is not hit many times, but the people and soldiers on both sides are even more unlucky.

If it had not been for the timely order of the escorting officer to stop it, it is estimated that a "civil war" between the people could have broken out among the onlookers.

As the Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Paris, Admiral Yevgeny naturally knew what was going on. Paris has not been at peace in recent times, and the new government immediately carried out a purge of Paris after the success of the Second Revolution.

Countless people are executed every day, either for crime, politics, or bad luck, but the atmosphere in Paris is tense.

Sometimes Yevgeny even suspected that the new government was deliberately using political struggles to reduce the population in order to reduce food consumption in order to survive the food crisis.

This is not unfounded. Although the war was over, there was still not much food to flow into France. The food crisis in Paris was even more acute after the Vienna government cut grain exports to France.

According to preliminary estimates, the food deficit in France in 1893 would be as high as 6 million tons, of which 3.2 million tons could be solved through imports and smuggling, and a gap of 2.8 million tons could not be filled.

Theoretically, if there is a shortage of food, the whole population will tighten their belts, for example, reduce livestock and pets, and stop extravagance and waste, and the crisis will almost be over.

However, the reality is very cruel, the rich are still rich, extravagant and wasteful, and occupy a large amount of food, which exacerbates the food crisis, and only the low-level people are hungry.

At present, the French government wants to survive the crisis on its own, and the only way to get the aristocracy, farmers, and capitalists to hand over their surplus food is to reduce the population.

Yevgeny admitted that he was thinking too darkly, and that, according to the current situation in France, if he really survived the crisis by reducing the population, it would not be thousands of people who would die, but millions.

If it weren't for the severity of the crisis, it is estimated that the French government would not have engaged in such an extreme internal purge. It seems to be eliminating dissidents, but in fact, it is more of an effort to survive the crisis.

At least the grain merchants who hoarded in Paris were clicked, and the confiscated grain was used to help the refugees.

Compared to the previous revolutionary government, the current French government has clearly done a better job. Through a series of means, order in Paris was restored in the shortest possible time.

During the entire execution process, President Robert did not open his mouth from beginning to end, which made Admiral Yevgeny, who wanted to see the excitement, very disappointed.

Obviously, this is a performance. As for Robert, the unlucky man who was sent to the guillotine, he had already been manipulated, and he didn't even have a chance to shout injustice.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Yevgeny: "Let's go, Andrew." There's no excitement to watch now! ”

Lieutenant General Andrew, who was on the side, shook his head: "Your Excellency, to be exact, there should be a bustle, but we can't see it."

The new French government is playing so big, I'm afraid the French aristocracy won't be able to sleep tonight. If they continue like this, they may one day fall on themselves with the butcher's knife.

You must know that this has a criminal record, in history, the French Revolutionary Party has cut off the head of the king and killed many nobles, and now this scene cannot help but make associations with them.

It's time to see how the two sides fight, but it's a pity that the Allies forbade us to interfere, otherwise there would be so many bad things now, and we would ......"

Yevgeny interrupted: "Alright, Andrew! These problems are something that politicians are worried about, and you and I are both soldiers, so we should not mix too much.

Besides, Danielle is not a simple commodity. Being able to restore order in such a short period of time and temporarily intimidate the nobles in the city is definitely a difficult lord to deal with. It will not be easy for us to intervene if we really send troops to intervene. ”

It is easy to defeat the revolutionary army, but the question is how to deal with the aftermath after defeating the revolutionary army.

It's not that Admiral Yevgeny boasted about it, if the Russian army was really allowed to sweep through the city of Paris, it is estimated that the French would not only have to worry about the current food problem, but also consider whether it is necessary to move the capital.

In order to rectify the military discipline of the Russian army, General Yevgeny has been working hard since he took office. For example, vigorously develop the smuggling side business, and the money earned not only increases the income of officers, but also subsidizes the food of Russian soldiers.

This is the pot of the tsarist government, and the logistics supply is the same as the native Russian army, which makes the "Russian officers and soldiers stationed in Paris", who are accustomed to seeing big scenes, think?

Can't they be treated as the army of the victorious country as well as the French soldiers of the defeated country, right?

Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, the loyalty of the gray cattle is still unquestionable, as long as it can fill the stomach, basically there will be no major problems.

It doesn't matter if you can't make a fortune by relying on military salaries, Russian officers and soldiers are the best at doing it themselves. Paris is so rich, even after the war, the oil and water are huge, and you can just make a little money......

The Allied command forbade the Russian army to intervene, in addition to putting pressure on the French aristocracy, but also fearing that the Russian army would lose control after entering the city and turn Paris into a human purgatory.

If it really comes to that point, let alone any war reparations, no one knows when the situation in France will be stabilized.

There are two sides to everything, and there are disadvantages and advantages. Although the Russian army is not easy to use, it has great deterrent power!

Tell the French that a powerful time bomb has been placed next to you, and with the slightest press of the remote control, Paris will be reduced to ruins.

As for the consequences?

The big deal was that the war reparations could not be collected, and the Allied forces stationed in France suffered heavy losses. These can scare most of the countries of the anti-French alliance, but they cannot frighten the mastermind behind the scenes, Franz the Great.

As long as the current few years of economic hardship were overcome, war reparations would be dispensable to the Holy Roman Empire; Not to mention the losses of the Allies, it is not that their own army has no reason to feel distressed at all.

It is not cut down now, because leaving this "sword of Damocles" will do more good than harm to the Holy Roman Empire.

It is not only possible to use the Allies to limit the development of the French; It was also able to use the interests of France to unite the countries of the anti-French alliance and consolidate the position of the HRE Empire in the European Continental Union; By the way, it also gave the Russians the confidence to go south to India.

……

The official residence of the President of Paris was renovated from the former residence of the Prime Minister of France, I don't know if it was cursed, and everyone who stayed here had to say goodbye to the comfortable days.

None of the seventeen consecutive French presidents has been able to stay for a month, and the worst one has been directly guillotined.

Danielle's arrival undoubtedly broke this record, and it is now the 34th day of his stay, but the final outcome is still unknown.

Smoking a cigar from an unknown source, President Danielle looked at his cronies and asked, "Barker, what's the reaction of those noble lords now?" ”

"The aristocracy is stepping up their tandem, and the Orthodox, Orleanists, and Bonapartist high-ranking factions are secretly holding secret meetings. We weren't people enough to be informed of what they were talking about.

Judging from the current situation, they should not have reached an agreement yet, otherwise it would not be so quiet. ”

The success of the Second Revolution did not change the aristocracy's control of the army, and once the three royalists agreed, Paris could change at any time.

Danielle nodded: "The people who informed us, don't stimulate these noble lords for the time being, as long as they don't move, we shouldn't be in a hurry to move."

The most important thing now is to intensify the infiltration of the army, because if we do not control the army, our revolutionary cause will not be stable for a day.

And don't forget to collect the prisoners of war released by the Allies. Don't look at these people who lost the battle and became prisoners, but that's not their responsibility.

Once armed, they are still the most capable army in France, and now the regular army in the country was all second- and third-line troops before, and it cannot be compared with these elites at all. ”

People are good learners, and with the experience of the previous revolutionary government in Paris, Danielle realized the importance of the army early on.

"The military does not interfere in politics and must remain neutral in the domestic political struggle", such nonsense, Danielle has never believed.

If it weren't for the control of the national army and a group of private armies in their hands, would the three royalists have the status they have now?

As soon as the royalists reached an agreement, the originally neutral French military would immediately tear off the pretense and support a new king's restoration.

There is the example of Napoleon III, and the royalists only need to copy it once. Even now there is no need for such trouble, the united royalists are far stronger than Napoleon III were back then, and a single coup d'état can be achieved in one step.
