Chapter 1302: The person blocking the road

At this time, the French Party of Order was in a mess. They least wanted France and the Austrian Empire to continue to have a direct conflict.

After all, neither Count Chambord nor Louis Philippe wanted to have too much trouble with the monarchs of European countries.

The Party of Order was also the group of people in France who hated the Republicans the most, except Louis Napoleon.

After all, the stronger the Republicans were, the further the Party of Order was from their goal of restoration. The Republicans also disliked the Party of Order, and they naturally would not miss this good opportunity to strike at each other.

The Party of Order was not liked by Louis Napoleon, and now they were put on the cusp of the storm by the Republicans. The Republicans called the Party of Order the running dogs of the king and the mortal enemies of the republic.

After these big hats were put down, the emotions of the people were immediately ignited, and some people even ambushed the Party of Order outside the government gate.

Most of the Party of Order chose to resign and run away. After all, there is no need to worry about firewood, and Count Chambord and Louis Philippe were not without a base at this time.

Tocqueville still did not choose to leave. He wanted to witness where history would go.

However, others did not have this historical complex. After all, they had a greater "mission". No one was willing to die for the so-called Second Republic.

When the Order Party withdrew completely, the Napoleon faction took advantage of the situation and occupied most of the positions. The Republicans did not seize this opportunity. They were still complacent about their achievements.

Although there were many Republicans in France, the factions were complex and did not belong to each other. Some people were advocating war, while others were calling for peace.

The Spanish Revolution and the Franco-Spanish Alliance could not make Hugo feel any glory. He only knew that the stock market was plummeting, and people were dying in fancy ways every day at major attractions in Paris.

A kilogram of potatoes cost ten sous, but there was still no market. There were unemployed workers and farmers without land everywhere, and no one paid attention to them. Alisa O'Jie played Eve naked in the St. Martin Opera House, which caused a lot of chaos and a storm in the city.

Jerome Bonaparte, the former King of Westphalia, became the president of the Invalides, thanks to his nephew who shared a lover with him.

(Here Jerome actually cheated on Napoleon III, but it can't be considered cheating, after all, the mistress they were fighting for was the wife of a third party)

Louis Napoleon ordered the arrest of Count Molay, who had imprisoned him, and the latter fled directly to Alsace-Lorraine with his family.

"When I arrived at the door of the National Assembly, the soldiers always liked to shout 'The enemies of the conspirators are here!'

But I knew that was wrong, and it was the 'friends of the conspirators' who came.

Because I was wrong."

Hugo closed his diary. It was sunny outside the window just now, but it was cloudy in a blink of an eye. He sighed, put away the manuscript, but did not close the window.

Hugo didn't like war at all. If possible, he wanted to end this stupid war immediately, or lock up those kings and presidents to fight.

However, most republicans were still looking forward to this war. They hoped to defeat Austria, increase allies, recover their homeland, and reverse the economic decline.

Republicans were everywhere advocating war, on the streets, in taverns, and in the salons of the upper class.

They seemed to be everywhere, while the Napoleonic faction was much more low-key. If France wanted to attack Catalonia, it had to pass through Andorra.

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, surrounded by majestic and barren mountains. The population has been only more than 5,000 since the 18th century until the 1960s.

Every time France and Spain went to war, the country would be unlucky, after all, the military discipline of both armies was not very good.

At this time, there were quite a lot of French people living in Andorra, so those majestic passes were useless to the French army.

The vanguard of the French army entered Andorra unimpeded, and for the next war, the French army began to recruit local civilians to build outposts.

The number of French troops far exceeds the total population of Andorra, so the French naturally become unscrupulous. The French are fine, but the Spanish and Catalans are miserable.

Everything that happened during the occupation was nothing to the French generals. After all, who cares about the life and death of a group of ants?

The vanguard of the French army was assembled and ready to enter Spain to attack the Catalonia region, cooperating with the Spanish Republican Army to attack the Austrian Empire.

This time the French army did not underestimate the opponent. The elite of the vanguard received a lot of training specifically for fighting the Austrian Empire.

They also had accurate intelligence. The main force of the Austrian Empire had moved forward, and the rear was empty. This was the best time to attack.

However, someone blocked the way to Spain. A dry and thin old man sat in the middle of the mountain road holding a cross high, and tens of thousands of aggressive French elites stopped.

Because the person who came was Bishop Urgell, Andorra nominally had two heads of state, one from France, usually the King of France.

The other is from Spain, held by Bishop Urgell.

This dual rule has lasted for more than 600 years since the 13th century. Bishop Urgell is not only the ruler of Andorra, but also one of the highest-ranking bishops in Spain.

Although the Catholic Church in France was in a mess due to the Republicans and the Revolutionary Party, it still had a high status and influence in the hearts of most French people, and the Bishop was still unattainable.

(This is why Napoleon III wanted to win over the Catholic Church.)

The soldiers hesitated, but the general who was in charge would not sit idly by. The general who led the army knew that he could let a few adjutants drive them away, or let the army bypass the Bishop.

But that would lose the morale of the army. How could they lose their spirit before the war? He decided to refute the other party in person and let him retreat.

"Hello, Bishop. Why are you stopping us from saving Spain?"

"Save? I only see numerous crimes and endless suffering, and a shameless person!"

Bishop Urgell roared angrily. He experienced the war of France's invasion of Spain when he was young, and everything recently awakened his painful memory.

Bishop Urher seemed to have returned to his childhood. The flames rising into the sky, the painful howling, the excited roar of the jackals, his mother who ran fast and his cowardly self

"War is inevitable. You should hate the Austrians who provoked the war."

"War may be inevitable, but atrocities are not necessarily inevitable, and you chose to turn a blind eye. The Austrians brought justice and order, but what about you?

Look at what this peaceful country has become after you have ruined it? Women are forced to leave their children and husbands, men are forced to work for you, and children are left alone to compete with wild dogs for food."

Before Bishop Urher finished speaking, he was shot in the head by the French general opposite him, who sighed.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't challenge the other party's expertise with your hobbies."

Then the general waved and called two soldiers.

"Take the body away!"

As soon as the two men lifted the body, they heard a sound of a broken line. About half a minute later, the mountains on both sides exploded
