"If you get it, don't leave quickly. Don't block here and delay the people behind you from receiving the food."

Looking at the slightly moldy potato in his hand, the young man couldn't believe that this was his food for the day.

I couldn't help asking, "Didn't there be a piece of bread yesterday? Why did I have only one potato today? How can we live?"

The official responsible for distributing food scolded disdainfully: "What are you talking about? Why don't you think about it yourself?

If it weren't for your refugees, the city wouldn't have been short of food. Now everyone is hungry, and it would be good to have enough food. I still want to pick on it, get out of here!"

In the face of hunger, all the ugliness of human nature were exposed. The influx of refugees harmed the interests of the locals. Although the new government is trying its best to suppress the conflict between the two sides, the conflict between the two sides has never stopped secretly. As the situation continues to deteriorate, this contradiction is becoming increasingly fierce.

Although the situation in Paris is changing and the government has changed several times, the middle and lower-level officials are basically the same group of people.

Seeing that the new government was about to end again, the bureaucrats also became crazy. As long as they could make money, there was nothing they dared not do.

The first one to be unlucky were naturally foreign refugees. Anyway, these people were helpless and died in vain. Naturally, they were the most bullied targets.

Do the top leaders of the new government really don’t know?

not necessarily!

The enemy was too cunning and directly adopted the siege tactics and did not enter the city at all. Even if the new government had thousands of plans, there was no room for it to play.

Originally, they planned to instigate the lower-level soldiers of the noble coalition, but now they are blocked by rows of mines, and both sides cannot even contact.

In this context, if the top leaders of the new government do not want to go to the guillotine, they can only stand firm and wait for the arrival of the revolutionary climax.

The food stored in the city is limited, and if you want to last longer, you can only reduce the population. The bureaucrats below do whatever they want, and the top government officials may not be happy to see it.

To be more dark, if the refugees do not clash with the locals, the people who are not well fed will have to target the hatred at the new government.

People’s greed is infinite. After tasting the sweetness of reselling food, they can no longer stop it. It is not surprising that this scene in front of them will appear.

"What? There is only one potato. Is it going to starve us to death?"

"There is only one potato. Could it be that someone embezzled our rations? One potato is to force us into a dead end."

"No, I have to get the bread today!"

...

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The gunshots sounded, and the scene instantly became quiet. Facing the soldiers carrying live ammunition, refugees without organization really found it difficult to raise the courage to resist.

"Kill those who cause trouble!"

"We save all these free foods for you one by one. If anyone feels dissatisfied, he can refuse them, no one will force you!

If you want to get relief food, then follow the rules. If you don’t have enough food, that’s your own problem. There are a few people in Paris who can eat enough, and everyone is hungry. Why can’t you do it?”

The middle-aged official's murderous words suppressed the chaotic scene, leaving only a pair of glaring eyes.

There is no right or wrong in the adult world, only pros and cons. You can see from a glance that most of the refugees who come to queue up are young and strong, and they rarely see the old and weak. What happens behind this is self-evident.

Everyone is working hard for survival, there is nothing to blame, and no one is much cleaner than anyone else. If you want to survive in this troubled world, you can't be cruel.

...

In the presidential palace, Daniele, as the leader of the government, is now leaning out the window, with countless sorrows between his eyebrows.

The crisis belonging to Paris has just begun, and it is autumn. The main contradiction in Paris is food. After a while, heating will become a new contradiction.

"A good cook cannot cook without rice." Daniel racked his brains and could not think of a solution to the shortage of supplies.

If the two sides had a compromise before raising the butcher's knife to the nobles, the Bourbons would probably make a deal with them, and it would not be difficult to fight for a preferential treatment for a whole Paris.

It is no longer possible now. In the previous purge, the revolutionary government had already occupied the blood of the aristocratic group. Surrender was a dead end, and only by holding on to it can there be a glimmer of hope.

Although he is unwilling to admit it, the cruel reality tells Danier that this "glider chance" is becoming more and more illusory.

The expected revolutionary climax has not erupted for a long time, and Daniele knew that the revolution had failed again. It was not because they did not work hard enough, but because the enemy was too strong.

From the moment the Royalists reached a compromise, the strength of both sides was doomed. The Bourbon dynasty was behind the continental alliance, and their height was nothing.

Even the United States, which originally leaned towards them, is now impossible to support them at this time under the pressure of the Continental Union.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The knock on the door sounded, pulling Daniel back to reality, and slowly said, "Come in!"

The young man panted: "Mr. Daniel, our negotiations with the enemy have failed. They refused to open a hole and let the people out of the city on the grounds of worrying that we were pretending to be refugees."

"knew!"

Daniele replied coldly. It seemed that this was just a trivial matter and was not worthy of attention.

This is also expected. Politics is cruel, and the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty is about to be successful, so naturally they are unwilling to create extracurricular problems at this time.

Opening a hole to let refugees go out of the city seems to be a little problem, but in fact it is asking for trouble. If you have more than one million words, you won’t say it. The key is that it increases the risk of failure in restoration.

There are millions of people in Paris. If these people are left in the city, they will be able to eat down the revolutionary government in a few months. Nothing has to be done, and the Bourbons can win.

If all these people were released, all the material crisis in the city would be solved. Then there was nothing to say, and I could only fight street battles with the revolutionaries.

I won’t mention the heavy price. The question is whether the refugees received will be grateful to the Bourbon dynasty for this?

The answer is: No.

People's hearts are complicated. Maybe everyone will be grateful at the beginning. However, this kind of gratitude will not continue. Soon, everyone will turn into hatred due to the inadequate resettlement and insufficient material supply.

With the instigation of the revolutionaries, an anti-hunger uprising might break out outside the city. Similar things have happened in human history.

If I really wanted to let the refugees go, the revolutionary government would have done it as early as the beginning of the civil war, and there would be no need to wait until now.

If the noble coalition forces immediately launch an attack on the city after they arrive, then the refugees are the best cannon fodder and can be used to consume the enemy's strength.

As an extreme idealist, in Danier's eyes, as long as he can realize his ideals, everything can be sacrificed, including his own wealth and life, let alone a bunch of refugees?

After pausing for a while, Daniel added: "Melon, please inform me to start the backup plan. At this point, I can't take care of that much."

The young man's face changed drastically and hesitated: "Mr. Daniel, do you really want to do this? The enemy may not be fooled. If the enemy does not come, then..."

"Nothing in case!"

"Either live or die. This is a gamble. If you win the bet, France will be an ideal country without oppression and exploitation; if you lose the bet..."

At this point, Daniel's words came to an abrupt end. If they lost the bet, they were all dead, so naturally they didn't need to know what was going to happen next.

...

"Super the food, or you will be beaten to death!"

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man surrounded him started the attack first. At this time, food is life, and it is impossible to survive.

A similar scene is performed every day in the streets and alleys of Paris. In the face of hunger, nature's most instinctive survival of the fittest is presented.

The police, who were supposed to maintain order, gradually withdrew from everyone's sight at some point. Except for the officials gathering areas and main roads, they were almost nowhere to be seen in other areas.

In order to survive, more and more people began to join in groups. One by one, a group of black forces emerged, with all kinds of vicious crimes emerging one after another.

The government's indifference finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the people. The anti-hunger movement sprouted from refugee camps and soon spread to Parisian workers and citizens.

On October 21, 1893, a massive anti-hunger march broke out in Paris, and the shouts of the people were directly transmitted to the command center of Carlos outside the city.

Whether to launch an attack on the city has once again become the focus of controversy among the nobles.
