Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

After driving away Fabre's delegation, Tina issued an ultimatum to the French defense government in Paris, peace talks or war.

But the French defense government didn't seem to hear it. They believed that Prussia was here to destroy France. For the sake of their own property, they could not let the Prussians invade under any circumstances.

In order to stimulate the people's patriotic enthusiasm, the national defense government elaborated on the terms of surrender. After hearing this, the French people became excited and angry from the bottom of their hearts. They decided to kill Prussia for the sake of France.

Originally, Prussia had the right to unify Germany. France not only disagreed, but also launched a war of aggression against Prussia. But now the offensive and defensive positions have changed. The conditions proposed by Prussia are to completely destroy France.

This completely ignited the patriotic enthusiasm in the hearts of the French people. Although it was just a misunderstanding and jealousy, in the eyes of the French, the Prussian war had gradually turned from a war of self-defense into a war of aggression.

Although the fighting enthusiasm was very high, the Prussian army's offensive speed was very fast. Bittenfeldt's Second Army attacked one after another and captured major cities such as Laon, Bellona, ​​Amiens, Arras, and Lille, basically all of northern France. Everything was pacified.

However, the advance was getting more and more unsmooth. The residents of the Alsace-Lorraine region began to harass the Prussian army continuously. The whole of France was like an iron wall. The advance of the front line was becoming more and more unsmooth. The Prussian army had originally At this time, the crushing offensive became somewhat powerless.

Tina took great pains to force the Paris government to continue negotiating with her. The spies in Paris told Tina that the national defense government had embellished Prussian terms and told the people.

Tina felt that there was still room for fuss here. She asked the spies to continue spreading rumors, claiming that the French defense government was ready to accept the terms, and also revealed all the little thoughts of Thiers.

"The government of defense intends to surrender to Prussia. Prussia only wants their money at most, but the people of Paris want their lives!"

Under the instruction of Prussia, the French newspaper Awakening published this article. This incident vividly criticized the crimes of the national defense government for betraying the country and seeking glory, and excited the public sentiment in the country.

At this time, Moltke's [-] troops also arrived at the gates of Paris. August personally supervised the battle. Almost all senior Prussian officers participated in this struggle.

An army of [-] people surrounded the city of Paris, and there was also a National Guard organized by the French defense government called a [-]-strong army in the city.

Of course, according to Moltke's inference, their [-] figure was most likely exaggerated. The total population of Paris was only about [-] million. How could they summon an army of [-]? There is a high probability that it will be less than [-] yuan.

Now France's standing army has basically been wiped out. The army temporarily formed by the national defense government can't find qualified officers to lead it, and more than half of the troops still don't have guns.

They didn't even have guns, let alone cannons. Facing the Prussian army just outside the city, none of them dared to take the initiative to attack.

The next day, May [-], the Prussian army attacked Versailles, a satellite city of Paris, and the temporary wartime headquarters was also transferred to Versailles.

When Moltke ordered the siege, the French defense government did nothing. They did not evacuate the masses, prepare for war, build a military system, or even negotiate with big capitalists.

But it seems that there is no discussion. Those big capitalists with real resources have been poached by the British. The small and medium-sized bourgeoisie who form the national defense government are really beasts.

They stole the people's expectations for the republic and made a fortune in the name of the provisional government. Most of the people's donations were pocketed by them. The enemies are still at odds with each other.

Some capitalists took up guns, rushed into the factories of big capitalists, and robbed the wealth. However, they did not use these factories to produce weapons. Instead, they sold them to Britain or Prussia.

The people of Paris seemed to have seen through the hypocritical and ugly nature of the national defense government. They tore down the cathedral and the royal gardens one after another and smelted them into guns and cannons, just to be able to defend Paris.

Under the control of Prussian spies, August contacted Karl, who was still in Paris, and his good friend Engels.

Of course, Karl didn't particularly like August. After all, if what the national defense government said was true, August really planned to occupy half of France.

Instead, Nakar would support the French people's war of resistance. Prussia's Patriotic War ended at the Battle of Sedan.

Auguste promised him through a letter that she would never cede French territory. She planned to help the proletariat. As long as she paid compensation, she would not take French territory.

Karl was very suspicious of Auguste, but Auguste had always been very credible. He agreed to Auguste's request, met with Eugène Baudier, a member of the French Communist Party, and negotiated with him about Paris. For matters related to the Commune government, the French Communist Party must lead the new government.

Most people may not have heard of Baudier's name, but when it comes to "The Internationale", everyone is familiar with it. He is the author of the Internationale, but the melody was not written by him, but by a man named Duguet's French Commissaries composed a tune for the Internationale.

The French Chicken Contest is in full swing, and various parties have begun to compete for power. Royalists and Republicans have begun to attack each other.

The national defense government organized people who were willing to resist in the unoccupied areas in the rear, and most of the farmers and workers also entered Paris. These simple people from the French ceded land had patriotic ideas and a will to resist. They came here to fight with the Prussians. Fight to the death.

But they were soon disappointed. The Paris Defense Government did not arrange accommodation for them, and most hotels did not allow country people to stay. Taverns and restaurants were not open to these farmers and workers. Stores were in trouble and the prices of consumables increased. dozens of times.

The French petty bourgeoisie looked down on farmers and workers, and the proletariat was so angry that before attacking the Prussian army, they took a gun to kick down the door of the petty bourgeoisie and staged a battle between Parisian dragons and French peasants for the outside world.

French Celestial Dragon: The smelly dragon came to Paris to beg for food? We have a white flag in Paris, what's wrong with you?

French farmer: You are called a Parisian, right? When I and Napoleon fought against each other, your hair hadn't even grown yet!

While Moltke was sitting and fighting outside, the situation in Paris was like going back to the Middle Ages. No one knew what was going on, but there were robbers everywhere.

There was a huge riot in Paris, and the national defense government was furious. I am the government. What are you playing at? Give me a fight!

The national defense government carried out a brutal suppression of the workers' groups. Two or three days passed, and the situation became more chaotic and more and more uprisings occurred.

Seeing this, Tina felt confused. What on earth were they playing?

A bunch of nobles are talking nonsense, it’s better to let Napoleon III continue to be in power...

Coincidentally, the French think the same way. Rather than being ruled by these nobles, I would rather engage in feudal restoration...

The national defense government was unable to do anything. It kept shouting for resistance, but refused to give guns. It called on the people of Paris to resist, but they did not resist. It claimed that France would not stop fighting, but they were unwilling to fight on their own.

Tina couldn't stand it anymore and ordered Moltke to storm Paris, "mobilize cannons and bombard Paris."

Mao Qi was shocked, what the hell is this so big?

Although he had some concerns, Moltke still chose to obey the command, but he still understood that if Paris was really razed to the ground, France would probably start Mein Struggle.

He calculated the location accurately, and the cannon would hit the places where important officials of the national defense government were located, such as their residences and factories.

It is to tell the Parisians that Prussian artillery can hit Paris, but we are not so easy to talk to. If we don't surrender, we will let Paris become the second Sedan.

The national defense government immediately gave up. They abandoned the French people and chose to negotiate with Prussia.
