Chapter 934 The scenery of lakes and mountains
Tolbeck's words soon spread throughout Europe along with the news of France's defeat in Belgium.
The strongest reaction was naturally from the French. The French Provisional Government originally wanted to add glory to the establishment of the Second French Republic.
When news of the defeat reached France, the founding ceremony of the Second French Republic almost turned into its funeral.
Angry people rushed into the newly renamed Place de la République. The French Provisional Government renamed Place de la Concorde to Place de la République to commemorate the founding of the Second French Republic.
The top leaders of the Second French Republic are gathering here to celebrate the founding of the Second French Republic.
But the angry people can't control that much, especially the families of those fallen soldiers.
If they had won the war, they could comfort themselves that they had sacrificed their lives for the country, but now they could not accept that they lost against Belgium.
The grand celebration turned directly into a public execution, and the senior officials of the Second French Republic were forced to relocate in embarrassment.
The fact that the public has such a big reaction is inseparable from the French government's long-term false propaganda. The French government portrays Belgians as European primitives who lack the ability to think and are barbaric and ignorant.
At the same time, there is another point, that is, the elite troops sent to Belgium have been stationed in Paris. Many of their family members are in Paris.
Most of these people are the breadwinners of their families, and they have left a lot of mess behind them. The city of Paris is not considerate of the poor.
The military families who had lost their main source of livelihood had to either leave honorably, die of cold and starvation on the streets of Paris, or do something less than honorable and stay in Paris.
In addition, the economic and social problems that had existed since the time of Louis-Philippe had not been solved, but had become more serious during the Provisional Government.
As the situation at home and abroad worsens, people have gradually lost confidence in the government.
Parliament of the Second French Republic.
"Damn it! If Oudinot from your reformist newspaper hadn't acted without permission, things wouldn't be where they are today!"
As soon as the members of the Nationalist faction came up, they attacked the Reformist faction for their unauthorized actions. The latter did not dare to show weakness, and someone immediately stood up and said.
"How did I hear that the battle was commanded by Major Compaore? Your Nationalist men actually seized power on the battlefield! Is there any reason not to lose this battle?!"
"Nonsense! Can you believe what a deserter says?"
"If you don't listen to the people who came back from the battlefield, why are you here making nonsense?"
"It's not credible that those people are deserters! I'm a member of parliament elected by the people!"
"Bah! The list of candidates was drawn up by your National Newspaper! No matter how you choose, it's all your people!"
"You reformists are not much better! I know very well the price of your votes! A kilogram of bread!"
"Bah! At least it's better than your free sex!"
"Is it not considered prostitution if I pay for it? Doesn't it count as cheating if I give you bread?"
"At least the people have received tangible benefits from us!"
"Benefits? If you hadn't tried every means to prevent us from imposing commercial and industrial taxes, would the situation be where it is today?
to be honest! You are the bastards of those businessmen and factory owners! The bread you distribute will require them to work a thousand times as much to repay it! "
"We are here to protect the future of this country! Without industry and commerce, how can we compete with Britain and Russia in the future! Don't forget how the British developed!
You have no right to criticize us! If you hadn't insisted on inheriting the debts of the Orleans Dynasty, we wouldn't even have money for military pay and pensions now!
Is your allegiance to the Second French Republic? Or your Jewish master? "
At this time, both sides want to throw the pot to the other side, as for the solution. Excuse me! No!
Perhaps history has its inevitable trajectory. Although Louis Eugene Cavaignac did not take credit for the recovery of Algeria, the task of stabilizing the situation in Paris fell on him.
Because at this time, neither Bellevue, Lamosilière, nor the members of the Napoleonic faction were willing to accept this mess, let alone bear the infamy.
As for Oudinot, he had already boarded a passenger ship bound for the United States, while Compaoré was missing.
The Reform and National factions are still entangled over whether Oudinot or Compaoré should take the blame.
If it weren't for the powerful enemy of the German Confederation and the anger of the people in the old district of Paris, they could have continued their quarrel for another month.
To be honest, when it comes to the fight between France and the German Confederation in Belgium, which side is the aggressor?
Although the Principality of Belgium should be legally a protectorate of France, this treaty was signed by Louis Philippe, which means that the suzerain should be the Orleans Dynasty.
This gave Franz room for maneuver. The French Provisional Government overthrew the Orleans Dynasty, but Louis Philippe, the monarch of the Orleans Dynasty, was still in the province of Alsace-Lorraine.
Therefore, as long as Louis Philippe does not recognize that the Second French Republic has this right, then the Second French Republic is an invader.
The capital of Tyrol, Innsbruck.
This city located in the mountains has been very lively recently, because many monarchs have visited here.
Louis Philippe was not the first and he will not be the last.
Almost every monarch will initially be attracted by the scenery of lakes and mountains along the way. After all, the beautiful scenery of the Alps is indeed refreshing.
But crossing the San Diego Pass, what they saw was an even more intoxicating picture.
