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

France once again fell into war, and the people in the old revolutionary areas once again took up arms to resist the reactionary national defense government.

The German army surrounded Paris for half a month. After taking a rough look at the situation in the Paris Commune, it seemed that it could still fight a dozen times. The Wehrmacht would not be able to defeat the Paris Commune in a short time.

But the Paris Commune now has nothing left. According to estimates, it will take about three months for the national defense government to completely settle the Paris Commune, and then happily put on the debuff of a chaotic government.

As the head of the British Empire, the Lilian government supported the Paris Commune, but it was only in solidarity. Instead, she provided loans to the national defense government and lent money to the French to repay Germany, thus redeeming those captured soldiers.

The public opinion base of the Paris Commune was too low, and public opinion was overwhelmingly unfavorable. No province except Paris, France, responded to the call of the Paris Commune.

Tina tried to negotiate with the national defense government again. The armistice treaty was signed, but the problem now is that the treaty has only been negotiated and has not yet taken effect. The German army cannot withdraw immediately, and they still have to watch.

But the national defense government is now too busy to negotiate this condition with Germany. Moreover, it is still in the civil war. If they sign this surrender treaty now, it will not explode on the spot.

In the history of otl, the Paris Commune broke out after France formally signed the surrender treaty. Great gods such as Karl, Friedrich, and Garibaldi did not participate in it, and it only existed for two months.

But everyone is here, and the Paris Commune broke out in advance. The two sides only have a temporary truce, and everyone has not yet completed negotiations on the treaty. The national defense government cannot represent France, and they are not the legal government of the country yet.

After the coronation ceremony of the Kaiser, the temporary wartime headquarters was still in Versailles, and there were almost [-] French troops here. Tina was waiting here. It was already July, and the Paris Commune had been going on for almost two months. , the government troops did not even penetrate into the urban area of ​​Paris.

This made Tina very disappointed with the National Defense Government. Even after the ultimatum was issued, the National Defense Government still did not respond. They wanted to delay. Now if they attack Paris, the German army will be used as a weapon by the National Defense Government.

There is another way...

Since the German army has not retreated, Napoleon III is now under house arrest in a fortress, chatting with his generals every day. After McMahon was ransomed by the provisional government, he was so depressed that he could only chat awkwardly with Bazin there every day. .

At this time, Tina suddenly pulled him out and asked him to sit in the carriage. The supreme Napoleon III returned to his loyal Palace of Versailles.

If the national defense government says it doesn’t want an emperor, then it doesn’t want an emperor? Just in time, give the commune people and republicans some strength.

Napoleon III and a dozen of his officers were inexplicably pulled to the Palace of Versailles. In front of hundreds of German soldiers with guns, Tina demanded that Napoleon III be crowned emperor again...

When Napoleon III came, everyone was confused? What the hell am I going to claim the title of emperor again? Then should I change my name to Napoleon IV? The third and fourth generations are the same person... What a joke from hell.

The result seems not to be the case, but to restore the position of Emperor Napoleon III, and this emperor signs a surrender document with the German Empire.

Then the captured French troops of about [-] were returned to Napoleon III. You can do whatever you want with the three. They have already threatened the national defense government. Since they want to drag it out, there is no way here. Give me face.

Under the threat of a group of German troops, Napoleon III once again put the crown on his head.

"By the grace of God, Emperor of the French, Emperor of the French Empire and its dependencies, Napoleon III."

After the Pope read out the title of Napoleon III, Napoleon III resumed his throne. Although he was forced to proclaim himself emperor, he was indeed the legal emperor. After proclaiming himself emperor in the morning, he would sign a surrender treaty in the afternoon.

It was up to Napoleon III and his political team to sign this treaty. The politicians around Napoleon III were serious politicians. They discussed with Tina a plan that could minimize the French people's opposition to the treaty. German hatred.

[-]. France returns the four southern provinces of Belgium and recognizes Belgium’s independence.

[-]. Recognize the German Empire and allow the German Empire to annex Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hesse and Luxembourg.

[-]. Germany occupied Alsace (except the Belfort area) and eastern Lorraine, including the Metz Fortress, for thirty years. Thirty years later, a referendum was held to decide whether to remain in Germany or return to France.

6. Pay Germany [-] billion in war compensation, [-] billion in economic compensation, and [-] billion francs in prisoner of war fees. A total of [-] billion francs will be paid in six years. The German troops will remain in Paris and the northern French provinces until the compensation is paid off.

[-]. Cede some Pacific islands and the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands in North America to Germany.

[-]. France joins the European Union and fulfills its European Union obligations.

[-]. Germany recognized France’s colonies in Africa and Asia and pledged not to establish colonies in Africa.

[-]. The French Empire and the German Empire formally established diplomatic relations. France and Germany sent ambassadors to each other to maintain peace between the two countries.

As for why it is [-] billion, it is because the national defense government has spent hundreds of millions of francs to redeem some French soldiers and sent them back. On the surface, a little less is very useful.

This treaty is much better than the one signed with the national defense government. The little colony doesn't matter. France didn't want the Belgian land anymore. The Belgians were too troublesome, so they just returned it.

The point is that Alsace-Lorraine was only occupied by Germany and was not completely integrated into Germany. It depends on how well Germany manages it in the future. If it runs well, everyone will be happy and everyone can live on.

If things don't work well, just go back to France. This will allow most of France to blame the Alsace-Lorraine people and not shift the problem to Germany.

It wanted to keep it, but Germany did not keep it, so that it could also fool the French people.

Tina was very happy when she got this surrender treaty. The politicians under Napoleon III did have something, which was very different from the nobles of the National Defense Government.

The terms they proposed can make Germany agree, and can suppress the French blood pressure to a point where it will not explode. Losing money is not a problem, because they can't see how the money will be lost.

But the key point is Alsace-Lorraine. This area cannot be ceded to Germany directly. First, it is occupied by Germany. After a referendum, everyone will be happy if they return to France. If they stay in Germany, everyone will hate the French there. Rape...

After Germany signed the treaty, it formally withdrew its troops, ending the Franco-Prussian War.

Napoleon III looked at the [-] troops and a dozen generals behind him, and then looked at Paris, "Who called the national defense government?"
