18th century total war

Chapter 54 Louis XVI in Action
This congressman is still too young, or he is obsessed with interests, and only wants to make a name for himself, but ignores that politics is a black hole that is a hundred times more evil than capital.

When he proposed to make government officials transparent to the public, it was basically equivalent to announcing a death sentence for himself, but he didn't know it, and there he dismissed all the congressmen who raised objections with sharp words.

Even in the 21st century, the affairs of the government cannot be open and transparent to the people!
Not to mention the 18th century today?

But this does please the Parisian bourgeoisie, if his words can get out...

An ordinary meeting ended hastily under the indifferent gaze of everyone.

The congressman stepped down happily, thinking about how to find someone to make the content of today's meeting public.

However, when the congressman walked towards the newspaper office quickly, a tall carriage pulled by a frightened horse suddenly rushed out of the narrow alley, and before he could recover, he flew into the air!
Immediately afterwards, by a very coincidence, a frightened carriage got out and ran over the young congressman who was coughing up blood, saving him a lot of suffering in the world and going directly to God to repent...

This matter was quickly resolved according to an ordinary traffic accident. It is rare to see that the bureaucrats at all levels of the Paris city government have become very tacit, no matter what party they are, it seems that they have no intention of investigating the death of this ignorant young councilor. .

Even though there was a lot about the car accident that was suspicious.

As for the family members of the young congressmen, they had nowhere to go when they wanted to sue, and they were even harassed and warned by hooligans in Paris!
As for the establishment of a separate charitable foundation for the embezzled money and distribution to the local poor people, it never appeared at the Constitutional Convention again, and it was not even recorded in the annals of history!
The citizens of Paris have never even heard of it. Someone once spoke at the Constituent Assembly for them.

It is true to promote one's own political ideas, but this kind of declaration that offends the entire government bureaucracy is purely courting death.

Do you really think you are smart enough to figure out a solution to the stolen money problem?

It's not that other people can't think of it, but that no one dares to touch it!

In other words, those officials don't need to make changes in this kind of thing, they are the beneficiaries themselves!
I really want to change, let's talk about it when the people are really in charge of their own affairs!
This incident also became a warning, making many enthusiastic intellectuals understand that the victory of the Great Revolution was only aimed at the decadent autocratic monarchy and the aristocracy, not that the common people could really overthrow the rich.

No matter who is in power, it is the rich and powerful who count!
Even if there are powerful and wealthy people who are born in the common people, they will become one of them. This is the evil nature of human beings.

The warrior who slays the dragon will eventually become the new dragon.

The dirtyness of politics is not politics itself, but those who manipulate politics. As long as they want to satisfy their selfish desires, they must use dirty means, while flaunting their glorious image, while letting their relatives and friends override above the law.

Under the law are ordinary people, above the law are those in power!
And the small group of people in the political center of Paris are fighting for the position of those in power above the law.

As for Li Wei's defeat of the Ille-Vilaine Provincial Legion, he only mentioned one sentence at the Constituent Assembly, and then sent a severely worded counter-insurgency copy to the Brittany region, and no one paid attention to it. .

The struggle for power in the city of Paris is not over yet. Lafayette, the leader of the constitutional monarchy who holds great power, has separated political views from the republicans in the Jacobin Club. Lafayette has led his own party to split from the Jacobin Club. , founded the Feuillon Club.

The most powerful constitutional monarchy faction split, which saw opportunities for other parties. At the same time, the Jacobin Club gradually formed its own political ideas and new parties.

Not to mention the open and covert struggles of the Constituent Assembly, even King Louis XVI did not stop at this time.

In the royal palace in Paris, Louis XVI has just sent away the secret envoys from Austria. This is already the third batch of foreign secret envoys sent away by Louis XVI!

The results are very remarkable. As long as Louis XVI escapes to the territory of Austria or Germany, the Holy Roman Empire is willing to form a coalition force to help Louis XVI push it all the way to Paris and restore his absolute monarchy!

The monarchs of European countries are not fools either. They naturally saw the danger of the Paris Revolution.

Therefore, revolutionary ideas and revolutionary governments must be nipped in the bud.

Once a European power like France is completely stained by revolution, it will shake the entire European monarchy!
Revolutions spread!
As a matter of course, helping Louis XVI to regain control of the Kingdom of France is the most cost-effective way for the European powers, and they can also make some deals with Louis XVI to gain some political benefits.

This is a win-win deal.

Even the British, who is a constitutional monarchy, also sent people to contact Louis XVI in private, willing to contribute to his restoration.

The king of the United Kingdom is also very powerful, and he hates the violent reforms of the Paris Revolution. Although Britain already has a cabinet and a parliament, most citizens in London are still living in dire straits.

Once the revolutionary idea spreads, London citizens who are hungry, like Paris citizens, will become the best breeding ground for revolution.

Louis XVI was cheated by the Great Revolution. That was because Louis XVI was too stupid. He made a wedding dress for the United States of America for no reason and emptied the treasury. He was unlucky and caught up with the rare drought in a century. ...

However, Louis XVI would not accept his fate willingly. Taking advantage of the fact that the small parties of the Constituent Assembly were dissatisfied with the fact that the monarchy was dominant, Louis XVI's underground work was flying.

Although Louis XVI has been deprived of many monarchical powers, his freedom has not disappeared. After all, it is impossible for a constitutional monarchy to put a monarch under house arrest!
Therefore, Louis XVI still has a lot of cards, and even many old noble officers are still loyal to Louis XVI in their hearts.

Including the regular army of the Kingdom of France displayed in the German-French border area, there are also a large number of supporters of Louis XVI, provided that Louis XVI can escape there...

Why did the Paris Revolution go so smoothly?
It is because the big boss Louis XVI was captured at the beginning of the Great Revolution. As a result, the old forces in the entire French Kingdom immediately became leaderless, fighting on their own, and could only be slaughtered...

Once Louis XVI breaks away from the control of the Constituent Assembly, in the name of the king alone, he can set off a full-scale civil war in France!
