The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 161: Provisional Republic of South France

The parliament is subdued, but Paris is not.

In the midst of turmoil, time came to the next day.

At this time, the peace treaty signed by Nasan has been distributed to everyone. The content is very simple, that is, the temporary transfer of the city defense of Paris and the compensation of 400 million francs.

This treaty is considered to be tolerant in the eyes of foreigners, and it may be acquiesced in another country.

But the French were unwilling to surrender to Prussia anyway.

After the initial chaos, many like-minded soldiers soon united, and the number was as many as 20,000.

They publicly raised the banner of opposition, calling on the Parisians to refuse to recognize this peace treaty.

Although the spear was not directed at Take Three, after all, he was the first one to dare to come out and fight against it.

Parisians responded positively and expressed their support.

And they did not refuse to come, whether they were seniors in sixties or housewives, they were all incorporated into the protest team.

Then, most of the protesting soldiers still held their posts, and the remaining small group took tens of thousands of civilians to the Champs Elysées.

The once prosperous Champs Elysées is now deserted. At the moment when the rationing system is implemented throughout the city, almost all commercial activities have ceased.

This leaves plenty of room for the protesters.

The gathering of tens of thousands of people is terrible. Even if the sound insulation of the Elysee Palace is not bad, Nasan cannot continue to work.

He is quite tricky about how to deal with these people, if it's okay for the other party to rebel directly, then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

But the other party just protested, and no one publicly said that he would depose the emperor. This is a bit difficult.

But it's just tricky.

After the 170,000 troops gathered yesterday, they took three general salary increases and a bonus of 200 francs per person, successfully allowing the soldiers to recognize the peace treaty.

There is a soldier in his hand that is not flustered, and he is confident that the situation will not exceed his control...

Just as the emperor showed his gift for speech in an attempt to disperse the people, Gambetta’s hot air balloon successfully landed on the outskirts of Dijon after a day and night voyage.

The 32-year-old republican leader has a certain reputation throughout France. After he revealed his identity, the police who came after hearing the news did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported the shocking news he had brought to their superiors.

However, there is no need for him to report. The Prussian media is already preaching the news in Europe, and you know everything you need to know.

To be honest, no matter who it is, the first reaction is not to believe it.

That's France, the land and sea are the second place, the terrible opponent that has been defeated only 7 times by the all-European alliance.

Now in charge of Napoleon's nephew, he has nearly one million soldiers nationwide.

Paris hasn't been taken, and it's impossible to surrender like this no matter how you look at it.

But the facts are beyond doubt. In order to increase credibility, some media took a close photo of Nasan and Crown Prince William at the scene.

It is well known that photos cannot be P, so this is true.

The only thing that is not surprised by this is Alfonso. After being captured in history, he tried to write to William I begging for mercy. It can only be said that Nasan has a personality that should be counseled, unlike some European soldiers now. Honor is higher than life, which may be related to his wandering experience in various countries when he was young.

However, it is no longer important for what kind of consideration the emperor surrendered. What is important is how to deal with this matter.

In Southern France, the attitude towards surrender has become polarized.

Some people think that this time only 400 million francs have been indemnified. Although the money is not small, it is not a big money for the wealthy France.

If a full-scale war with Prussia is followed up, the money spent may be 5 times or 10 times this amount, and many people will die.

Just admit this result and forget it.

But other people think that this is a problem of European hegemony and ethnic contradictions, and it is absolutely impossible to compromise. Not to mention the compensation of 400 million yuan, it is nothing to do with peace.

In general, those who support the continued fighting have the upper hand, and the war machine that has been activated does not mean to stop, and the French in the south are still continuously armed.

Counting Spain, the army in the south has reached 600,000 at this time, almost reaching the limit of southern France's patriotic enthusiasm.

If you want to go further, you may need to pass legislation to force conscription.

However, the officers did not have this idea. If you count the Paris army, France's army has surpassed Russia at this time, and it has become the world's first army power.

If the army goes further, the materials it consumes may not even be able to carry the developed railway system in France.

The army of South France is going to save Paris, but this gives rise to a problem-the procedure for taking three is completely legal, and the two countries are no longer at war. In what name do they send troops?

Gambida, who had fled to Dijon, came into their sight.

Soon, the army and the local government of South France jointly announced that because of Nasan’s treason, his ruling power would be temporarily cancelled, and the republican government headed by Gan Bida would be a temporary regency.

As for whether or not to retain his emperor status, it will be decided by a nationwide vote after the war.

This move was a compromise within the army. At this time, the Three Kings faction and the Republican faction were entangled in the army, and they couldn't figure it out for a while, so they should first form a republican government to deal with it, but this does not represent the army officers of southern France. It's the Republican.

In fact, there are very few republicans in the South. There are several monarch factions, and any one of them is stronger than them.

Although he decided to send troops, the situation was even more unfavorable than before.

Because in the foreseeable future, they may have to deal with the royalist troops that support Nazionale.

So they urged Spain to send troops to help.

Alfonso readily accepted. At this time, the Spanish army reached 220,000, an increase of 50,000 from the Spanish-Italian War.

The newly mobilized 50,000 stayed on the homeland for defense, and the remaining standing army mobilized an additional 80,000 people to support France.

Counting Garcia’s 30,000 volunteers, a total of 110,000 troops.

Moreover, these 110,000 people have basically been trained for a long time, and some have participated in the Cuban War and the Spanish-Italian War. Both the combat experience and the weapons and equipment are much better than those of the South French miscellaneous army.

Primm got the commandership all the way smoothly.

This time the counterattack was divided into three groups. Spain was responsible for the east side. The ultimate combat goal was to rescue the 200,000 French troops in the Metz Fortress.

To this end, the local government sent 90,000 troops to Primm to help.

It is generally believed that only a hot air balloon is needed to send a letter to Marshal Bazin, the inside should be combined with the outside, and a total of 400,000 troops will deal with the hundreds of thousands of Prussian troops outside the Metz Fortress. There should be no problem at all.
