The Paris Revolution was successful and Napoleon IV was exiled, and as soon as the news of his exile was heard, a major political earthquake broke out in the European continent.

Anyone with a little politically savvy knows that a republican government emerged at this time, which was disastrous for France's decision.

Controlling Paris and controlling France are two concepts. Without the threat of foreign enemies, the revolutionary government can also use political means to unify the country and slowly clean up the Bonapartists in the officialdom and the army.

Obviously, this is impossible. The anti-French alliance will not leave them time to integrate the country. Faced with the millions of troops of the anti-French alliance, the revolutionary government that only controls Paris does not even have the power to gain a leap.

Strength is the basis of negotiations. Without enough strength, France's desire to preserve its vitality after the war is simply a dream.

In London, after receiving this sudden bad news, Prime Minister Gladstone was so angry that he overturned the table.

How is France like? He can't care about it now. The key is that the Bonaparte dynasty was destroyed.

You should know that they had just reached a secret agreement with Napoleon IV not long ago, investing 18 million pounds to purchase all the main battleships of the French Navy.

I thought I had a big advantage, but I didn't expect that the Bonaparte Dynasty would no longer exist before Moji was done.

The Bonaparte dynasty was gone, so naturally no one could fulfill the secret agreement before. Now is not the most awesome era in Britain. Even if the London government wants to force the revolutionary government to continue to fulfill the contract, it is impossible to use the secret agreement.

There is no way, there is too much content on the anti-French alliance in the treaty. Once it is exposed, Britain will not be able to stay in Europe.

If it is just like this, it's no big deal. Just think that this secret agreement does not exist. The problem is that the money paid can't be collected now.

Originally, the French sold warships to raise military expenses to fight Austria, and the London government paid the money with pleasure, and paid half of the cost before delivery.

There is nothing to say now, it is directly bad debt. Even though I know that the money has fallen into the hands of Napoleon IV, the London government cannot publicly recover it.

Not only can you not ask for debts, you must also find a way to cover the cover. If the news leaks, not only will the plan to plot against the French warships go bankrupt, but political enemies will also seize the handle of illegal operations.

According to regulations, such large-scale transactions must be approved by Congress. Obviously, such secret transactions are not suitable for discussion in Congress, and the Gladstone cabinet can only take action first and then report.

There are precedents in Britain for similar things. As long as it is successful, it will not be criticized. Unfortunately, Gladstone failed this time.

After calming down, Prime Minister Gladstone: "Immediately send someone to communicate with Napoleon IV and promised him that as long as the money is returned, we will support his restoration."

Foreign Minister George explained helplessly: "It's useless, Prime Minister. We have sent people to contact Napoleon IV. Now his condition is very bad, and our people dare not stimulate him too much.

To avoid accidents, our people had to talk to the French government in exile. Unfortunately, they demanded that the treaty continue to be implemented and immediately issued an order to hand over the navy to the warships.

Considering that the government in exile has lost control over the navy, this hasty order is no better than waste paper, we can only choose to refuse."

No matter how depressed the emperor was, he was also the emperor. Seeing that Napoleon IV was about to die, the British representative who was originally preparing to seek revenge was instantly lost.

Unable to determine whether it was a real disease or a fake disease, the British representative naturally did not dare to take risks. He was afraid that he would be too irritated and asked Napoleon IV to directly receive the lunch box and force the emperor to death on his back.

Napoleon IV did not come forward, and the exiled French government pretended to be confused. It was obvious that it did not believe the British government's promise and was ready to swallow the huge sum of money directly.

Hearing this result, Gladstone gritted his teeth and asked, "Are they sure we dare not take revenge? You need to know how much it does not cost to solve a government in exile."

Foreign Minister George shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister, the French are really not worried that we will attack them now.

Although Napoleon IV was exiled overseas, the foundation of the Bonaparte dynasty was not completely lost. Because of hatred, these people should be regarded as France's most determined anti-Austrian faction, and Napoleon IV was their natural leader.

Neither the Orleans nor the Bourbons would jump out of anti-Austrianism at this time. Once the revolutionary government surrendered to the anti-French alliance, the anti-Austrian forces in France would move closer to them.

If they were dealt with, they would collapse the anti-Austrian forces within France, which was equivalent to helping Austria.

At this time, we not only cannot attack them, but also find ways to strengthen their strength and even support their restoration, so as not to have a single voice on the European continent.

In this regard, as long as the Bonaparte dynasty insists on opposing the Austrians, it will be nothing left to keep the money in their hands."

Even though he knew he was cheated, he not only could not retaliate, but instead had to increase his efforts to support him. Gladstone felt that the world was crazy.

However, this is the reality. For the sake of the national interest of Britain, the French government in exile must exist, otherwise the French anti-Austrian elements will not find the organization.

After pondering for a while, Prime Minister Gladston reacted and sighed: "Napoleon IV is such a good method! He didn't even miss the face, so he cheated a huge sum of money from us."

…

"Since he is so powerful, why is he in exile?"

…

"No, there is something wrong with the Paris Revolution. The Bonaparte dynasty was not so fragile and could not collapse so quickly!

The troops stationed in Paris were the direct descendants of Napoleon IV. If they had not been transferred, the revolutionaries would have never succeeded.

It seems that we are all fooled by him. The collapse of the Bonaparte dynasty was planned by Napoleon IV. The current revolutionary government is just a scapegoat he prepared.

Oops, the European War is about to end early. Napoleon IV will not leave a chance for the revolutionary government, and there will be problems with the French army on the front.

There is no time left, we must immediately negotiate with the revolutionary government and finalize before the French surrender..."

It is not a loss that he was the most successful prime minister in the 18th century in Britain. Gladstone analyzed the truth of the matter through only some clues.

Even though I knew, Napoleon IV used open conspiracy. Even though I knew it was a pit, everyone had to jump in. From the beginning of the armed uprising, the revolutionaries had no way out.

The responsibility for the rash war was thrown to the bourgeoisie, and the responsibility for the defeat was blamed on the revolutionary party. The emperor Napoleon IV became a victim.

I also gave a barely reasonable explanation to the people: defeat is not because the emperor is incompetent, but mainly because there are too many traitors. Internal and external troubles erupt together, but I can't help it.

As soon as the treaty is signed, the people will point their finger at the surrendered revolutionary government, thus downplaying the responsibility of the previous government.

...

In the face of the rolling waves of history, personal power is insignificant. The Paris Parliament is still quarreling about food issues, so the front-line troops will be out of food first.

On October 19, 1891, on the third day after the French army had no food, the elderly Marshal Patrice McMahon publicly issued a telegram to publish "Your Conspiracy Success".

The article tells the bloody sacrifices made by the French army on the front line to defend their country, denounced the revolutionary government's conspiracy to rob the country and force them to surrender, and to cut off the army's logistics.

Immediately afterwards, the troops on the front line were ordered to lay down their weapons and surrender. It seemed that it was agreed, and then the French commanders in the south, west and central areas followed the trend and issued a power.

For a time, France was filled with electricity. Almost every French general had to turn on electricity before surrendering, and scolded the Paris Revolutionary Government. It seemed that if the electricity was not sent, he would not be able to keep up with the times.

A slaughter fell from the sky, and it was completely confused by the confused Paris Revolutionary Government. They were indeed ready to do it, but the armistice negotiations had not even begun. What were they selling?

The explanation is useless. Napoleon IV painstakingly planted the mines, which have now been detonated.

The military unified its position and insisted that the revolutionary government colluded with an anti-French alliance, cut off the supply of food and supplies from the front-line troops and forced everyone to surrender to the enemy. The Paris Revolutionary Government had no room for explanation.

It is not because of how much influence the Bonaparte dynasty had in the army. If he could control the entire country's army, Napoleon IV would not have to go into exile.

In the final analysis, it is for the sake of profit. Someone always needs to be responsible for defeat. Especially the military that has suffered defeat is the first to be hit. It can be imagined that these generals who have defeated the war will not have a good life after the war.

In order not to be spitted to death by the people's spits, they, like Napoleon IV, needed a scapegoat to take responsibility. At this time, the Paris Revolutionary Government came up.

If you want to be the boss, there is no problem. The Paris Revolutionary Government nominally regained military power with a few telegrams. As the boss, he naturally had to take care of the family. The original responsibility of the Bonaparte dynasty has now fallen on the revolutionary government.

Since they were all burying mines, Napoleon IV naturally would not leave too much strategic materials in Paris, including the food and food stored along the way, which were also resold and were transported away.

When the Paris government took over the regime, it happened to be the time to transport the front line. A truckload of ships of shipments were seized by the Revolutionary Army before they even set off from Paris.

If they continue to send to the front line, they will go hungry. Without saying anything, they will naturally requisition first. This requisition will not be removed.

The inability to control local governments and the inability to raise enough food to transport them to the front line in a short period of time, directly leading to the out of food for the front line troops.

Things have happened. No matter how the Paris Revolutionary Government explains it, the front-line troops were cut off.

The whole of France was in chaos. With the power outage, the revolutionary government in Paris was pushed to the forefront.

The students and intellectuals who originally supported the revolution have become hesitant now. The aristocrats, peasants, and some workers who were originally against the revolution are now disliked by the revolutionary government.

Even the capitalists who had just been released from prison and were about to usurp the fruits of the revolution stopped and chose to wait and see the situation first.

There is no way, the anti-French alliance has already been fought. Paris's strategic position itself is very bad. Not only is there no danger to defend, but it is also close to the front line. Once the troops on the front line surrender, Paris is the new front line.

At this time, if you can't deal with the anti-French alliance, you are asking for trouble.
