Chapter 756: The Law is not Responsible for the Public
Chapter 739: The Law is not Responsible for the Masses
A star’s fire can start a prairie fire, and revolution can be contagious, especially in France, a country rich in revolutionary ideas.
Napoleon IV swallowed the bitter fruit of concessions to the consortium, originally thought that after obtaining the support of the consortium, his rule would become more consolidated, the reality is in the opposite direction.
It has been proved that capital needs restraint. Once the restraints are released, capital will eat people.
According to the agreement with the consortium: the French government handed over the economy to the market and did not interfere with commodity prices.
There is no doubt that this was the original culprit that led to the skyrocketing of prices in France.
In the context of overcapacity around the world, prices were able to skyrocket, and it is self-evident what this means.
Versailles Palace, Napoleon IV sat there with a melancholy face, motionless. The successive rebellions in the country had plunged him into self-doubt.
“Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived, when will the meeting begin?”
The voice of the maid woke Napoleon IV up.
“Invite them over, today’s meeting will be held here.” Napoleon IV casually replied
According to the rules, there was also a fixed place for deliberations. However, there was no such creature as an imperial historian in France, and when the emperor was in a bad mood, no one would dwell on such minor issues.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
……
Minister of War Luskinia Hafiz: “Your Majesty, after two days of bloody fighting by the 7th Division, we finally broke through Lyon yesterday afternoon and expect to purge the Lyon area of rebels within the next two days.
The 5th Division arrived in Toulouse yesterday evening and by this time has begun to suppress the rebels, it won’t be long before good news arrives.”
Without any surprises, the French Revolution fully illustrates what it is: “Coming and going.”
Lyon, the source of this revolution, was also the first place to be suppressed. The so-called blood bath was actually for the sake of taking credit.
It can be said that as long as the Paris revolution did not succeed, no other region could have succeeded in whatever way it was tossed around.
Napoleon IV nodded with satisfaction, the army’s performance was still good, according to the current situation, it wouldn’t take long for the rebellion to be suppressed.
Police Minister Ansorge: ”Your Majesty, last night we broke up another case of treason in Paris, arresting 36 people from the revolutionaries.
This is the fourth case of treason we’ve solved within this month. All indications are that there is a dark hand behind this.
At the moment, we have not gathered enough information to determine who the black hand is.
The main suspects include the international anti-French forces such as Britain and Austria, the restoration forces of the former dynasty, and the domestic bourgeoisie.”
There was no mention of the Revolutionary Party, and that was because the revolutionary forces in France were relatively dispersed, with more than three-digit numbers of large and small revolutionary organizations, most of which were three-minute old, replacing the old with the new every day.
What is a revolutionary party today can become a royalist party tomorrow, and the identities of the two are convertible.
The factors affecting their change are also varied; it may be a certain government policy, a certain speech of a government official, or even because of the weather.
This is not an exaggeration at all. There were really revolutionary organizations that temporarily cancelled their uprisings because of slippery roads on rainy days.
Of course, the reason is not that the roads are slippery in the rain, but that they have abandoned the revolution in response to God’s call.
There’s nothing wrong with that. In Europe, God is in charge of everything.
Since it rained during the uprising, it meant that God did not want to see a military disaster. As a devout believer, naturally, you can’t go against God’s.
These days most of the revolutionary organizations in France are grassroots, without their own political platforms, without a unified leadership, most of the revolutionary members are free to come and go, and they don’t have the strength to take big actions if they want to.
Including the rebellion that broke out in front of them, it was actually also led by the labor unions. As for the Revolutionary Party, their main role was to spread revolutionary ideas, plus waving the flag.
Napoleon IV frowned, his intuition told him that these few suspects might all be behind the scenes.
The restoration forces of the former dynasty needless to say, people want to change their own king to the throne, they have to make things happen ah!
Ying Ao had just knocked them on their asses in the financial markets, and it was only natural that they would continue to engage in conspiracies now.
Especially Lyon rebellion, direct French textile industry was hit hard, the British is the biggest beneficiary, the suspicion index is full of.
France and Austria are each other’s biggest rivals for continental hegemony, and the government of Vienna agreed that there was also a suspicion of blackmail.
Even if the Lyon rebellion at the beginning, and these two countries have no relationship, now it should be involved.
The last object of suspicion, the “domestic bourgeoisie”, need not be suspected.
The number of capitalists is so large, and they are not united, so it is only natural that a few of them are interested in the revolution.
Napoleon IV sighed, the complexity of the situation made him feel on pins and needles. A single enemy is not scary, the most troublesome thing is collusion between inside and outside, that will kill people.
After contemplating for a while, Napoleon IV made a decision: “Notify the consortium and order them to calm prices within a week.
If they fail to do so, all the agreements we reached before will be null and void, and the government will not rule out the use of special means to stabilize the domestic situation.”
It is a naked “threat”, Napoleon IV knows very well what the basis of his rule. If this continues, it won’t take long to follow in the footsteps of the July Dynasty.
Compared to this, offending the consortium is only a small problem. The strength of the consortium is no longer strong, it is also only economically strong, as long as the foundation is stabilized, they will not be able to turn a big wave.
The capitalists are all very big, it’s okay for them to make some small moves in the dark, but it’s impossible for them to personally fight the revolution.
While everyone was weighing the pros and cons, another piece of bad news arrived.
“Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Last night there was a rebellion in Rome, Turin, Cagliari, Chambéry, Nice and many other cities.
Among them, Cagliari and Chambéry have already fallen, other areas are still fighting, and the local government is requesting support from the garrison.”
The Italian Independence Organization is no match for the French Revolutionary Party on the mainland, and the two are not at all in the same league in terms of fighting power.
The Italian Independence Organization not only had nationalism as its platform, but also had no shortage of military and organizational talent. When the Sardinian royal family went into exile, they had quite a few followers.
In recent years, with the banner of the Sardinian royal family, coupled with the secret support of Britain and Austria, the Italian Independence Organization gradually unified.
In order to eliminate the Italian independent organizations, the French government made a lot of efforts, but still had little effect.
With the support of many gold masters in the European continent, the power of the Italian independence organization not only did not weaken, but also became stronger day by day.
Napoleon IV was alarmed and said, “The Ministry of War immediately sends troops to suppress it, and absolutely can’t leave any breathing space for them!”
Unlike domestic rebellions, European countries have limits even if they engage in small actions, and the political system determines that it is impossible for everyone to flagrantly support the revolutionaries.
Italian independence organization is different, the leader is the royal family of Sardinia, the banner is “independence” + “restoration”, is also a member of the monarchy.
Once they had gained a foothold, the anti-French forces in Europe were bound to support them, and then it would not be so easy to suppress the rebellion.
……
Vienna, the Austrian government has received a protest from the French. How is it possible to screw up without leaving a trail?
Without any surprise, Austria’s support for Italian independence organizations was still discovered by the French government.
The French protest, without stirring a single wave in the Vienna government, was casually discarded by Franz.
Have to admit, France is to pull hatred, especially after the establishment of the “Great French Empire”, that is clearly written in the head of the villain boss, waiting for everyone to brush copies.
Except for the two main forces of Britain and Austria, which were really involved in the planning of this rebellion, the other countries actually did not make much effort.
In addition to individual countries in political diplomacy by the French bullying, out of revenge heart to contribute money and effort.
Most of the European countries only contributed to the Italian independence organization out of sympathy, or because the royal family was forced to save face.
With so many countries involved, the Paris government didn’t know where to start even if it wanted to retaliate.
During this recent period, the vast majority of European countries have received letters of protest from the French government, and things have gone here and then gone away.
This is really “the law is not responsible for the people”. Both now and in the future, the French government can not use this excuse to hold everyone accountable, or the anti-French alliance will come.
Franz asked with concern: “Is the Paris government really in danger?”
Fighting the French Empire was one thing, getting the French Empire killed was another. If the French Empire really collapsed now, it would not be good for Austria.
Revolutions were contagious, especially at this time when the European continent was in the midst of an economic crisis. Once the French revolution succeeded, it would inevitably trigger the outbreak of a new wave of revolutions on the continent.
When the time comes, Austria will have to send troops to help put out the fire in the European countries. Franz did not like this kind of hard work which was not pleasing to the eye and had to be done.
Prime Minister Felix: “Your Majesty, Paris is now a powder keg, but with the slightest spark, it could explode at any time.
If the French government responds well next and pacifies the underclass in time, the crisis can still be suppressed, or else the Bonaparte dynasty is likely to be overthrown as a result.
Compared to the crisis in Paris, the Lyon Rebellion and the Italian Independence and Independence Movement are nothing, as long as Paris is not in chaos, the French government will be able to solve these small troubles sooner or later.”
Franz nodded, countless facts have proved that the biggest “powder keg” in Europe in recent times is no longer the Balkans, but the holy land of revolution, Paris.
In order not to detonate this powder keg, Austria to engage in small actions, only stay to support the Italian independence organization, never encouraged the revolutionaries to start a rebellion.
On this issue, the British and Austrian position is unified, the Paris revolution is full of too much uncertainty, we do not want to burn themselves.
Under the butterfly effect, the history of Europe had been changed beyond recognition. Franz did not dare to guarantee that there would not be another Napoleon in France.
Now the French empire, the bottom is still very thick, change a genius leader, still able to make Austria eat a lot.
To be on the safe side, it is better to boil the frog in warm water. Toss a few more times, and wait for the French to lose almost all of their wealth, and then rush up to make up for it is the king.
