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

Since June, many large-scale uprisings have broken out in Paris, and the Franco-Prussian War did not end with the armistice agreement. The major domestic parties began an unprecedented competition for power.

The French people did not surrender. Even though the German army surrounded Paris and the national defense government was crazy and traitorous, the French people still said that I could not accept it and chose to arm civilians and start a confrontation with the Prussian army and government.

Although the brutal siege has not ended, Germany has not pressed hard at all levels. The French people are dissatisfied with the armistice treaty. They are eager to overturn the established fact of France's defeat. It is best to return the national border to what it was before the war.

Probably let Germany make peace with France, France will not lose its territory, and then see if some compromises can be made to get Germany to withdraw its troops. But the question is which government should be allowed to negotiate with the German Empire?

The royalists say that Napoleon III should be allowed to negotiate, and the republicans say that Thiers should be allowed to form a democratic parliament, and then representatives of this parliament should negotiate. The French Communist Party is still on the verge of making water.

Paris soon heard about Auguste's coronation as German Emperor in the Palace of Versailles, but to be honest, it didn't matter because the French people had never been to the Palace of Versailles. They only knew that it was awesome and brilliant, but who I don’t even know what it looks like inside. What if it’s actually the high-end Notre Dame de Paris?

Most people said it didn't matter, or that compared to the fire under their noses, it didn't matter where the Kaiser was crowned.

Moreover, the Palace of Versailles is a thing of the TM aristocrats, and it is not the common people's turn to get angry.

When the siege began, the people still did not stop what they were doing. They worked very diligently and built defense facilities. Except for the first wave of bombardment of Paris, Moltke never carried out large-scale attacks on Paris. Bombarded.

On the other side, Manteuffel rushed back to Metz immediately after the coronation ceremony. When the French army in Metz Fortress was at the end of its rope, Bazin fought hard and led the remaining French army to launch a desperate counterattack. It was of little significance, and suffered heavy losses. Manteuffel's defense line was impregnable, and the French army alone was not enough.

Finally, after a series of negotiations between Bazin and Manteuffel, the national defense government also began a new traitorous operation. They asked Bazin to surrender, and Napoleon III's special envoy also ran over to ask Bazin to surrender.

Finally, in response to public expectations, Bazin led the remaining hundreds of thousands of French troops to lay down their weapons and signed the surrender document. At this time, the Second French Empire was truly destroyed.

The siege of Metz Fortress lasted for almost three months, and the casualties paid by both sides were not small. Manteuffel's First Army was also considered the elite among the elite, so Bazin's defeat was not unfair. You can only say that his luck is indeed not very good.

He encountered a very stable general, the most elite German army, and a leader who tortured him crazily behind his back. In the few days he had been in Metz, the leadership team had changed several times, and he was helpless.

But in any case, the number of French troops who died in his hands was still relatively small, and it was actually a way to stop losses in time.

But Paris was not so happy when they heard the news. They persisted in confronting the German army amidst hunger and artillery fire. You, Bazin, as the last general of the French Empire, actually surrendered at this time?

In July, after two months of siege, the French people helped each other at first and were able to control the situation. However, the national defense government was too low. They could not obtain food from the outside world. The armistice agreement had been signed. , and there was no way to convince the Paris people to accept the terms.

And rather than negotiate with Germany, they are more willing to take advantage of this opportunity to gain more benefits. This makes the government have no appeal, and the park has become a dilapidated fortress with fortifications everywhere, but the people inside are half dead.

Don't tell me that the people in Paris are anxious, the German army outside is also anxious, why haven't you organized a legal government yet? What kind of lunacy is your national defense government? It takes two months for a pig to run from Berlin to Paris. How long did it take you to hold a vote?

August and Tina came to the conclusion that it seemed we had to think of other ways. August set his sights on Italy...

As we all know, Italy is a very abstract country. On the one hand, it is full of martial virtue, and on the other hand, its record is impressive. If you can fight, you can definitely fight, but it always feels like it is not interesting. But it is such a country with a legendary general.

The master of guerrilla warfare, Garibaldi...the leader of the Red Shirts, was very social and very polite. August sent people to Italy overnight to invite Garibaldi.

Garibaldi in this world line was not exiled by Vittorio. Instead, he received an honorary military rank after the war with Japan. Next, he stayed in Germany to retire. Because Auguste was good to him, he ran there. He participated in the construction work of the People's Party, and was successfully nominated by the People's Party in the Prussian Parliament and became a member of the House of Representatives. He has some say in politics and a few words in military affairs.

Anyway, he was more comfortable than in Italy, where he had to be tortured by Ma Zhining. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out, he chose to support the French republicans, but he did nothing after that.

Mainly because he was in this position, so he inevitably heard some rumors. Garibaldi also had some knowledge of the embarrassing things that happened to Thiers and his team. He found that the Republicans in nm seemed to be even less of a thing than Napoleon III, helping them. They look like people with cerebral palsy, what are they doing? It doesn't make sense.

So he didn't go to help France. The Prussian flag was almost lost, but at this time August came to him again and asked the old marshal to lead the red shirt army to charge again. Would this be to help the Republicans? Yes, this would be to help the French Communist Party.

Garibald was so excited that he immediately took a train from Frankfurt to Versailles. After getting a general understanding of the situation in France, he rushed into Paris with some relief food provided by Germany and two to three thousand volunteers, and ran to find French Communist Party.

However, it is obvious that Garibaldi did not find the French Communist Party when he entered. He found Karl Marx.

……

Thiers, the head of the National Defense Government, was a man of great lack of virtue and relatively cheap. When the German troops slowly withdrew, these secretly fleeing National Defense Government returned to his loyal Paris.

Then it began to harm the masses. The National Guard was the main force in the battle to defend Paris. Although they had bad guns from the last century, they fought the Germans to the end. On the contrary, the national defense government clamored for the National Guard to be replaced as soon as they came back. Lowered their arms and arrested all members of the National Defense Council.

In order to suppress the domestic riots, citizens and the National Guard came out and started fighting against the government troops. Even women and children joined in.

What about the defense government? Are they cowardly? Not cowardly at all, they also believed that the truth was within the range of the cannon, and then they pulled the trigger on innocent people, killing all the women and children.

The people of Paris burst into tears. They picked up their dead children, and their anger was completely ignited.

"Down with the national defense government! Down with the French reactionaries!"

The high-pitched Marseillaise echoed in the city, and the National Guards launched a battle with the government forces. A provisional government in Paris composed of the French Communist Party and the First International, and the Paris Commune was born.
