Putting down the telegram in his hand, Marshal Patrice McMahon sighed deeply. He looked out the window and said with his back to everyone, "Restore the normal supply of the troops, and no matter how you do, you can't let the soldiers go hungry."

"Marson, we don't have much food anymore, and domestic supplies cannot keep up. If there is no limited supply..."

Before the middle-aged officer could finish his words, McMahon interrupted: "Don't worry, the material problem has been solved in China. The government has searched the grain merchants who hoarded goods, and now there is no shortage of food."

Upon hearing this news, everyone showed long-lost smiles. There was no way, the French army's life has been really hard recently.

Not only were the Allies suppressed the battlefield, but even logistics problems occurred. As the British support declined, the French government was no longer able to raise enough strategic materials.

Now is a local defense battle, and everyone cannot retreat, so the French army is holding on with passion. If other things are missing, they can still persist, but if food is missing, it is not enough.

The front line was defeated too quickly and there was no time to regain the food they had previously hoarded. Domestic supplies did not keep up, and local support alone obviously could not support the army's operations.

In order to reduce consumption, Marshal McMahon took the lead in cutting food rations since half a month ago. Except for the front-line combat troops who could barely fill their stomachs, the rest of the people could only eat five points full.

Everyone was naturally happy to hear that the food problem was solved. Except for a few people who found that McMahon's expression was unnatural, the rest were immersed in joy.

After pausing, McMahon added: "Okay, the food problem has been solved. Other logistics supplies have also been solved in China. You will arrive at the front line in a week. Now you can rest assured.

The remaining question is how to fight the French defense battle. Behind us is home. Now we have no way out and don’t want our family to be displaced in troubled times, so we fight this battle for me.

Now I order..."

The military meeting was hurriedly ended, and only a few confidants were left in the command center, or the direct officers of the Bonaparte dynasty in the army.

"Marson, the enemy's air force is becoming more and more rampant, and domestic stations and bridges are seriously damaged. Even if the government solves the food problem, it will not be able to transport it in a short time, right?"

McMahon did not answer directly and handed over the secret message: "Look at it yourself. After reading these contents, you will know why."

After a while, the middle-aged officer trembled with his hands: "This...how...is...is possible?"

McMahon replied bitterly: "I hope this is fake, but this did happen. The domestic rebels colluded with the enemy and stabbed the empire at the most critical moment. Now the situation cannot be changed.

No matter what, we cannot afford to make any unrest. Since they dare to stab us while fighting the enemy, then this mess will be left to them.

The price we paid for this war is too high, and if we persist, the young people will be wiped out. What we have to do now is to end this war as soon as possible and retain our vitality for France."

There is no way, the Bonaparte dynasty is going to be over. As a direct force, they naturally would not have a good impression of the revolutionary party.

Whether it is to preserve the vitality for France or to cheat the revolutionary party, they must surrender and release the anti-French alliance as soon as possible.

Although it is not popular in the European continent to endure the end, surrender requires skills and a suitable reason must be provided, otherwise the people's spitting can kill them.

"Free food" is undoubtedly one of the best excuses for surrender, and no one can expect an hungry army to fight. In this regard, the French people are still very open-minded.

In order to strengthen everyone's determination to surrender, Napoleon IV prepared even the way out for everyone. While sending a secret telegram, there was also a public telegram that solved the food problem.

As for why the government promised food and food supplies did not reach the front line, we have to ask the revolutionary party, after all, by that time the Bonaparte dynasty no longer existed.

Anyway, theoretically speaking, as long as the revolutionary party does not make trouble, food can reach the front line. The revolutionary party cannot get rid of this shady blame.

You can get out of your way without taking responsibility. For everyone, except that they cannot accept emotionally, they are actually not rejecting this result.

After all, it is only a matter of time before the war has been going on.

Everyone insisted on resisting, just to fight for a decent and relaxed ending of the war for the empire. Now that the empire is gone, there is naturally no need to persist.

After a while of silence, a bearded veteran said slowly: "Even if the restrictions are lifted, our food can last for more than half a month. If we want to achieve our goal earlier, it will take an accident now."

If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. You can imagine what the Bonaparte dynasty will be over, and the hostile forces will come to power and become the defeated generals.

If you don’t want to end up in a miserable future, you can only take the initiative. It is naturally the best to be able to restore the throne. Even if you cannot restore the throne, you must continue to destroy the enemy first.

McMahon shook his head: "No need, the Austrians will do it for us. You just need to find an opportunity to expose the location of the granary."

It is incredible to take the initiative to expose your granary to the enemy, but there is no way, the reality is so nonsense.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, if a person is not cruel enough, he will not stand firm.

Secretly taking a gangster can only be considered a pediatric department. Without directly colluding with the anti-French alliance, they are already considered to be morally honest.

Not only the Central and European battlefields, but also the same story is almost staged on other battlefields. With the order of Napoleon IV, officers loyal to the Bonaparte dynasty began to take action one after another.

For a moment, the morale of the French army was greatly boosted, and the originally decadent battlefield situation seemed to have been reversed, and suddenly stabilized the front line.

...

Paris, the rebels who were originally at a disadvantage were about to be finished, and the revolutionaries were ready to run away, but a miraculous turn occurred.

An uprising army that emerged from somewhere did not know how to capture Versailles and reverse the situation.

Unfortunately, Napoleon IV was let go, but this was not harmful. Anyway, after winning, everyone did not have to cut off the emperor's head and vent their anger.

Even the capitalist who gritted his teeth with hatred for Napoleon IV now has no courage to kill the regicide. For no other reason, the anti-French alliance has arrived.

This endgame was originally difficult to deal with. If a monarchy tragedy occurred, the anti-French alliance would slap them off to reshape the majesty of the monarch. At least the Vienna government would be happy to do this.

Both the revolutionary party and the capitalists believed in this. Conservative concentration camps in the European world are no joke.

The thousands of fiefs and nobles alone are enough to make Austria and Russia the base camp of the "feudal diehards" side by side and be despised by thousands of people.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they scolded them, they would have no effect. There is no way. The two diehards are so powerful that it takes courage to point fingers at them.

Well, it is the future to defeat the thrifty monarchy system. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to choose a boss to take charge of the overall situation.

At this point, the revolutionary group that was already in harmony with the appearance and was officially divided. After all, there was only one leader, but there were dozens of revolutionary parties.

In order to compete for the fruits of victory, everyone showed their magical powers, and even fought in some areas. In short, Paris was completely lively.

The provisional government was difficult to bear, but the parliament was born first. Regardless of whether the membership was legal or not, it was better than that, and everyone could finally sit down and discuss the issue.

Looking at the quarrels of Congress, Socialist MP François sternly scolded: "Everyone, calm down first. We can discuss the issue of the presidential election later.

Don't forget that France is in war and is still fighting against the entire European continent. The Bonaparte dynasty was overthrown and we are now required to perform our government duties.

I don’t know if you have noticed that telegrams for help from the front line have piled up in mountains. Those who are short of reinforcements, those who are short of food, those who are short of ammunition, those who are short of artillery, those who are short of medicine, and those who are short of winter cold materials...

In short, what we need on the battlefield is now missing. If we don’t find a way to solve these problems, it won’t take long for the Anti-French Alliance to come to Paris.”

François' warning pulled everyone out of the craze of power. If the enemy could not be blocked, it would be useless no matter who came to power.

"Is this still necessary to consider? Of course, the war will be ended immediately. We have paid too much for this war, and even the empire has been destroyed. How can the people survive if they continue to fight?"

You can tell from the tone that this is a royalist MP, and perhaps a supporter of the Bonaparte dynasty. It is unimaginable in other countries, but here in Paris, nothing is possible.

Although the Revolutionary Party was the main force in overthrowing the Bonaparte dynasty, after the establishment of the Congress, most of the members of the parliament were members of the royalist party.

There is no other reason. The revolutionary party has too shallow foundation and does not have enough reputation to rule. It must rely on these "respected" guys.

If it weren't for the Royalist Party's share of the three, there would be no republican affairs. After all, the concept of republic has not yet been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and most people are still scared of the previous two failed republic movements.

François immediately sarcastically said, "Dear Earl, what price do you think we have to pay to end the war?

I finally waited for this opportunity. If you were the Austrian government, would you show mercy at this time?

Even if they used their interests to buy Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, the German Federation and other countries participating in the war, can they rest assured?"

The three consecutive questions seemed to be a soul-strike, which made Earl Glen speechless. It was not that there was no answer, but that no one was willing to think about this answer, and even more unwilling to face it.

The international situation is so volatile. Just a few months ago, most European countries hoped that France could preserve its vitality so that it could continue to restrain Austria; now, unlike the past, these guys have become France's death talismans.

If you want to reassure everyone, unless France becomes weak enough and loses the ability to threaten everyone, the neighbors will not be able to reassure you.
