Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 747 Paris Commune

On April 15, 1882, on the same day as the International Conference, a number of French revolutionary organizations jointly launched an uprising to promote the socialist Bronchi as the leader.

The rebel army captured the police station, seized the arsenal of the city defense army, controlled the embassy area, and swept most of Paris.

The battle reached the Palace of Versailles. Napoleon IV took the palace guards to escape from Paris overnight. The remote control commanded the army still loyal to the emperor to suppress the rebellion.

Upon receiving this news, Franz was stunned.The first reaction after waking up was: When did the revolutionary party's fighting power become so powerful?Is the French government confused?

No one can answer this question.As in the previous Paris Revolution, as long as the first shot succeeded, it could quickly sweep the city.

The Revolutionary Army occupied Paris, and this international conference became a joke.

During the day I was still discussing how to curb the spread of revolutionary ideas. At night, I fell into the hands of the revolutionary party.

In the end, after experiencing strong winds and waves, Franz quickly recovered and asked with concern: "How many troops can Napoleon IV control, does it have the ability to suppress the rebellion?"

"Not sure!" Foreign Minister Weisenberg shook his head and gave a negative answer.Immediately explained: "In addition to the first division, the second division, the third division, the seventh division, these several lineage units can be determined to support the emperor, the other units are temporarily unknown.

The Paris Revolution has just happened. Everyone is not mentally prepared. It is estimated that many people will wait and see the situation first, and will not show their position for the time being.

Ignoring the army that did not show its position, the army controlled by Napoleon IV still had the advantage, and the Paris Revolution could succeed because the army loyal to the emperor was not in Paris.

The seventh division was suppressing the Lyon rebellion, the first and second divisions were suppressing the Italian independence movement, and the third division was stationed outside Paris.

On the same day that the Paris Revolution broke out, a rebellion broke out on the outskirts of Gornes, only five hours in advance, and the main force of the third division was sent out to suppress it.

Most of the urban defense forces that stayed in Paris were made up of local Parisians. They themselves sympathized with the revolution. After the rebellion, the city defense forces did not send troops to suppress them in time, which was also an important reason for the expansion of the rebellion.

The success of the Paris Revolution was filled with too many coincidences, as if someone were manipulating behind it, deliberately creating opportunities for the rebels.

It is said that Napoleon IV was rebelled only after the war reached Versailles.

The ability to mobilize the army and intercept messages must have considerable strength in the government and the army.

The French Revolutionary Party has not yet been able to infiltrate this point. The powerful and motivated to do so are mostly the restoration forces of the Orleans and Bourbon dynasties."

Franz rubbed his forehead and walked to the window to look into the distance, and now he had to squeeze sweat for Napoleon IV.

There are revolutionary parties looting outside, there are former royal restoration forces inside the government, and there are consortium forces that may fall at any time.

In such a complicated situation, it is not easy to secure the throne.It can be said that this is the most popular throne in the world, there is no one.

Prime Minister Felix: "Not so serious, there are also contradictions within the Revolutionary Party, at least more than ten power groups controlling Paris.

There are also a lot of royalist restoration forces mixed in, and on the issue of overthrowing the rule of the Bonaparte dynasty, they barely united after reaching an agreement.

When it comes to the political system and the distribution of benefits, the original allies become enemies.

Perhaps they will not turn their faces for the time being under pressure from government forces, but they cannot be expected to cooperate closely.

Napoleon IV has now left Paris, and with the prestige of his father Napoleon III, plus the gold dollar in his hands, it is not difficult to obtain military support.

If there is no accident, I think it will take less than a month for the Paris Revolution to end."

"Optimism vs. pessimism", standing on Franz's personal stand, naturally hopes that Napoleon IV will suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.

As for "undercover manipulation, let the Revolutionary Party and the government continue to kill and disturb France." Just think about it, and there is no feasibility at all.

This was determined by the special national conditions of France. The three royal families divided the most powerful royalists, which caused the government to lose its ability to fight for a long time.

In other words: as long as Napoleon IV did not suppress the rebellion in a short time, the Bonaparte dynasty would be over.

It does n’t matter if you switch to another dynasty. Franz does n’t care which dynasty is in charge of France, but if the French regime falls into the hands of the Revolutionary Party, it wo n’t work.

There is such a successful precedent that the wave of European revolution has not yet reached a new height. At that time, do not want to attack Ottoman, too busy to put out the fire.

After pondering for a while, Franz made the decision: "It's better to be so, but we still have to plan for the worst.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicates with Britain and Russia. Presumably they do not want to see the situation in France out of control. They can organize and interfere with the coalition when necessary."

"Europe is the root." Franz hadn't recognized it before. Now he has to admit that this sentence is still very reasonable.

As a European country, no matter what its strategic core is, it has to be affected by the situation in Europe.

On the face of it, civil strife broke out in France, and now Austria is the best choice to reunite Germany.

However, so many politicians in the Vienna government did not propose this plan.

Obviously, things are not so simple.Now the German region is also surging, and there is a wave of revolution after wave.

At this time, sending troops to unify the German region is equivalent to introducing the revolutionary wave into Austria. For a long period of time in the future, the Vienna government will sort out the contradictions between the children and the children.

When you open the map, you know that Austria ’s strategic situation is not good at all.

To the east is a greedy teddy bear, to the west there is a bully France, and to the south is the Ottoman feud. If the German region is unified, the north will face the Nordic Federation and Britain.

On the face of it, Lancy ’s civil strife, the Russians are still licking the wound, and Austria still has the ability to start first, so that the threat can be resolved in advance.

However, France and Russia are all great powers, and they will never be able to die in one go.Under the power trend of hatred, everyone will fall into long-term confrontation.

Politics is not simply a game of distinguishing between friends and foes. There are no eternal rivals between countries. In the face of interests, the relationship between "enemy and friends" may reverse at any time.

If a country blindly wages war against others because of potential threats from its neighbors, then the days of universal enemies are not far away.

The Vienna government chose the Ottoman Empire as a breakthrough. In addition to its strategic needs, the big reason is that they are relatively weak and can slap to death to solve problems once and for all.

...

Tours, this ancient city, once again became the political center of France after the Renaissance.

After fleeing Paris, Napoleon IV rushed to Tours in one breath, and this became the temporary office of the French Empire government.

Frankly speaking, the Bonaparte dynasty is quite popular.Napoleon far away is the pride of France, and near Napoleon III is also a hero of France.

Although Napoleon IV did not have any great achievements, but he did not have any inferiority. Ordinary people did not feel much disgust at him as an emperor.

The incessant rebellion in the country does not mean that everyone wants to rebel. Many of the rebellions are caused by the capitalists.

In the economic crisis, they fell into the rock, hoarded their prices, and drove up prices, forcing the bottom-level people to survive, and others jumped out of rebellion.

Among the many insurgent incidents in France, a large part of them were people rushing to grab food, and the people dispersed after the robbing.

It is only Paris that is full of revolutionary ideas. In small and medium-sized cities like Tours, the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people is not very high.

The best evidence is that Napoleon IV was warmly welcomed by the residents of Tours.Of course, this has nothing to do with the news of the Paris Revolution.

"Have the fifth and sixth divisions set off?" Asked Napoleon IV

Army Secretary Luskinia Hafez replied: "The Fifth Division was promoted yesterday morning, and the Sixth Division also departed this morning. They will arrive in Paris to suppress the rebellion in up to three days."

Hearing this news, Napoleon IV was relieved.The army's willingness to accept orders means that the situation has not reached an unmanageable level.
