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

The national defense government has just returned to Paris, and the people of Paris have rebelled again before the president has even sat down. This is indeed an old revolutionary area.

In order to deal with these revolutionary elements, the national defense government began to brutally suppress them. They asked the government troops to use cannons to bombard the demonstrators and use bullets to scare those spontaneously formed National Guards.

But the people of Paris are different from the people of other countries. They are not afraid of artillery shells, and they will open the thread in your head even with a wrench in their hand. They deny the treasonous national defense government and treat the tyrant's lackeys like the pioneers of the Great Revolution. The traitor initiated a liquidation.

The national defense government headed by Thiers actually did not fight for a while. Just two days after returning to Paris, it fled Paris again for fear of being liquidated.

Karl and Friedrich were invited by Varlan, the leader of the Paris Commune, to become special advisers to the Paris Commune. On Karl's recommendation, Garibaldi was invited to become the commander-in-chief of the National Guard.

Varlan had heard of Garibaldi, the Italian guerrilla god of war. Since Karl recommended him, it proved that he was an internationalist.

The Paris Commune no longer trusted the former French generals. They were too incompetent and helped the national defense government massacre people. The people were no longer willing to trust those traitors.

The Commune is more willing to believe those internationalists. The Germans have not been beaten away yet, and their artillery still surrounds Paris. In such a dangerous situation, the Paris Commune still has to fight against the French Provisional Defense Government. What a hell start.

……

On the day Garibaldi arrived in Paris, the members of the Paris Commune had just been elected. Karl and Friedrich were invited to participate as special advisers to the First International, but they could only speak and express their opinions, but actually had no rights. .

The office of the Paris Commune is in a restaurant, which is the temporary office space of the Commune committee members. The tricolor flag with red ribbon and the pure red flag are hung on the wall.

When coming over, Karl and Friedrich took an unusual route. Because the main road was blocked by government troops, they could only go around the alley. At this time, Garibaldi's red shirt troops also came in. , just hit it.

Karl was a little in disbelief when he saw the red shirt soldiers. They were wearing red clothes. At first, he thought they were commune soldiers, but it was strange because the commune soldiers should not have such good equipment.

The two were dragged by the red shirts to meet Garibaldi. Garibaldi recognized Karl. Garibaldi explained his purpose. He came to help the Paris Commune and brought a lot of supplies.

Garibaldi was a relatively casual general. Almost everyone had heard of his deeds, and he was also somewhat related to the First International because he was a member of the German proletarian party and was a member of Congress. , also participated in the international proletarian movement.

So Garibaldi was absolutely trustworthy, and Karl shook his hand.

"Hello, I'm Karl, and this is Friedrich... We are from the First International, you should know."

"Yes, I know, I have heard of your names before."

Garibaldi shook hands with Friedrich again, "The situation is very bad now. Almost all major roads are blocked. I can only take small roads. I don't know what will happen to the commune."

"Let's go to the offices of the Paris Commune first. That's the headquarters of the Commune."

Garibaldi observed the bearded man carefully. He was the famous thinker and philosopher, Karl Marx.

Comparing the two, Karl may not be as famous as him, because not everyone is interested in the proletariat, but there are also many people who follow him, and he is like a mentor among the proletarians in Europe.

The three of them arrived at the temporary office of the Paris Commune. There were hundreds of people in the room, far apart from each other.

When Garibaldi saw this scene, he was honestly a little disappointed... This group of people seemed to have no independent opinions, they were just a bunch of people getting together, and the atmosphere was unusually cold and awkward.

Not as enthusiastic as expected...

Within the Paris Commune there were members of the old League of the Just, as well as anarchists, Jacobins, and the French Communist Party.

Everyone's composition is a bit magical, like gathering together a bunch of people whose color is probably red, but after actual comparison, you will find that some people are indeed red, but the red ones are also all kinds of weird.

What the anarchists talk about is very interesting. Their vision is a completely ideal society, where people are free to do the work they want, distribute according to need, cancel all prices, and eliminate the government. In an ideal society, The people don't need government at all.

Reformists say you fart, then have you never thought that the people will not be engaged in production at all? Without unimaginable productivity, this kind of thing is simply impossible to achieve, and the entire economic system will become a mess.

What both sides said was very reasonable, and Karl also felt that the reformists were right, but it was a pity that this was not an academic forum, but the headquarters of the Paris Commune.

At this time, Varland suddenly appeared on the podium, "Comrades, now that we have successfully driven the decadent national defense government out of Paris, we should now pursue our victory and liberate the country!"

Everyone applauded. Everyone gathered here just for this dream, but there were differences on how to do it.

Many people support seizing the city government first and controlling the area where orders are issued across the country. The second target is the arsenal, so that the soldiers who capture the commune here do not need to hold fire sticks.

But Karl thinks this is nonsense. Although the National Guard has a large number of people, those places are protected by government forces. They should now go and take down the banks in Paris. The Germans only want money, but French workers want their lives.

This sentence is also applicable to the commune. The Germans still only want money, and the national defense government wants their lives. So we might as well use the money to buy weapons from the Germans. After the country is liberated, we can then fight the Germans decisively. Not too late.

The French Communist Party said, stop talking. We are righteous Communists. How can we collude with imperialism? Absolutely not, so they went to the city hall! No objections allowed.

After the meeting, Garibaldi sent someone to take a look at the city hall and found that the national defense government had run away and the government had been moved, but government troops still protected the city hall and weapons depot.

The French defense government first repaid Germany's [-] million franc indemnity, redeemed McMahon and [-] French troops, and relied on them to form a new government army to fight back against the Paris Commune.

Doesn't Garibaldi think it's nonsense to rely on these equipment to build an arsenal? It's better to rob a bank...after all, the Germans may really just want money...

French Communist Party: No, absolutely not. It is politically unjustifiable to buy equipment from Germany. How do you want the proletarians in other countries to see us! Absolutely not!

Garibaldi was very depressed. If you had given me better equipment, of course I would have been able to defeat him. You guys are empty-handed and have no weapons. If you go there, you will die. You might as well rob a bank.

Garibaldi ignored the commune's instructions and ran to rob the bank. After taking the little money left in the bank, he immediately bought [-] rifles and [-] million rounds of ammunition from Germany, as well as a large number of food.

Tina saw that the Paris Commune had sent money, and it was very good. She immediately cleared the inventory and sold the Dreiser rifles and bullets previously produced in Germany to the Paris Commune. Although it was not an advanced thing, it was better than the Commune hand. You still have to be a lot more advanced to get those fireworks guns.

With weapons in hand, the National Guard launched a defensive battle in the center of Paris. Garibaldi was worthy of being a master of guerrilla warfare. He could accurately predict the location of enemy troops, and his micro-management skills were like commanding with a mobile phone.

The [-] government troops scraped together by the national defense government fought fiercely for more than two weeks before they captured a single urban area. This is truly a shame and a disgrace.

The Paris Commune defended Paris and began a long-term tug-of-war with the defense government. The front line gradually stabilized, but the Paris Commune no longer had cash... How long can they hold on?
