Chapter 198, Rebellion and Coup
Soon the Duke of Brunswick got the latest information: on the opposite side, the devil who organized a defense like a wall of iron walls, the nightmare Joseph Bonaparte, who was also named Bonaparte, was hit by a bullet in the previous battle, and he was unknown to life and death.
"We hit another French commander?" The Duke of Brunswick felt that the news was a bit nonsense. However, there were not too many nonsense things on the battlefield. For example, during the Seventy Years' War, did the Nordic Lion Second Master lose his life in the battle of great victory?
In addition, neither of the senior officers of the British and Puerto armies were willing to bring back a big defeat and one general succeeded in thousands of bones. Although it seemed not good, it was better than one general’s failure in thousands of bones. Anyway, thousands of bones were already dead, right?
But if you don’t know the true or false, you will hit the head and then be violently ravaged by others using various means, then you will really not even allow your self-esteem. So, everyone decided to stop and take a look first. Of course, you must also strengthen your defense on the other side.
At the same time, Paris looked chaotic. Because Joseph considered that he had to hide it from Paris at the same time. Because there was almost a colander in Paris, all kinds of news, as long as the guys in Paris knew it, all kinds of businessmen would know it immediately, and then, there were some military secrets, which the bankers knew faster and more specific than the generals.
Those businessmen often have the habit of stepping on several boats. If any secret is in their hands, the royal party or even spies from other countries don’t know it, it would be strange. So if Joseph told the Parisian government that he was just pretending to be injured, it would not take an afternoon. People with a little money and a little status in Paris know that they are pretending to be injured. What else can you do?
But hiding the government's supervision also brought another problem, that is, the people who supervised the government took this matter seriously. Then, this military secret that should be highly confidential was immediately known to all Paris, and some newspapers even published the matter.
Of course, Pravda immediately stood up to refute the rumors and said: "When the country is in trouble, everyone must be calm and do not believe in rumors or spread rumors!"
However, Pravda did not provide any definite evidence to confirm that the legends on the market were all rumors. On the contrary, people found news from another news in Pravda that seemed to be used to confirm this rumor: on the front line of Cato, General Morrow repelled the British attack and would quickly go to Verdun to support General Joseph Bonaparte's battle.
In everyone's opinion, this military mobilization almost confirmed the authenticity of the legend of Joseph's injury. Obviously, if Joseph had not been injured, why would he urgently transfer Morrow over to him at this time?
In addition, some other actions seem to confirm this. According to some newspapers, Mr. Lavoisier, who had just returned to Paris and re-teached the post of the University of Paris, suddenly left Paris and returned to Toulon due to work needs. In addition to Mr. Lavoisier, it is said that many researchers working in the "military-industrial complex" went to Toulon "due to work needs". However, "Perresian" did not refute the rumors. He just said: "This is a normal transfer that has been planned long ago."
Of course, it would be fine if it was just like this. What's even more terrible is that there were once again various things that ran away with money in the government. For example, when the employees of the Ministry of Finance went to work that morning, they found that the minister's secretary Garcia had never come. Then someone soon discovered that Garcia used his forged signature to take away a large amount of government funds in the name of receiving wages from the government department and ran away with his sister-in-law.
This is not an isolated case. There are countless things like this.
In such chaos, the royal party became active again, and some guys, especially the National Self-Defense Forces in some communities where the prolific people were concentrated, once again hooked up with them. Anyway, the Red Army and even the military police have been taken to Verdun by Joseph. In some places, the royal party's white flag was even blatantly hung out again.
This situation in turn has increased the chaos in Paris. On the other hand, the public security departments that have always effectively suppressed various activities of the Royal Party also seemed particularly lazy at this time. There are rumors that the Minister of Public Security Fouche was also interacting with the Royal Party. Paris seemed to be about to change again.
Napoleon naturally received a message from Joseph, and at this time his army had already entered a state of rapid marching and was rushing towards Paris as fast as possible.
On the night of Dandelion Day in 1798 (March 16), a rebellion broke out in Paris. At noon the next day, speculators who turned to the royalists quickly occupied most of the area of Paris and began to prepare to siege the Capitol building again. But at this moment, news suddenly came that General Napoleon led a large army to Paris.
So an interesting scene appeared. Although Napoleon's army did not appear, the National Self-Defense Forces that surrounded the Capitol Building suddenly disappeared in large numbers. When General Ogero's cavalry appeared in the square outside the Capitol Building, the entire square and around the square were so empty that it could be used to film "I am a Legend".
In short, at the most critical moment, our General Napoleon Bonaparte once again saved the republic and the revolution. What is even more rare is that in this rebellion, General Napoleon Bonaparte and his troops showed amazing restraint. Even without a single rebel killed, he calmed down the rebellion very peacefully. He fully demonstrated the style of the Italian legion's mighty and civilized army.
After successfully suppressing another rebellion of the royal party and finding all the members who can still be found, (some members had already run away before the riot began, and now they don’t know where they have gone, so naturally they can’t find them). For the future of the country, General Napoleon personally gave a speech to Congress.
On the way to the speech, Lucien said to Napoleon: "Napoleon, are you ready for the speech? I'll tell you, when you are speaking, you have to..."
"Come on, Lucien." Napoleon waved his hand, as if driving away a buzzing fly. Fortunately, he did not mean to use Lucien's intestine to tie a bow around his neck. "I have been in the army, I don't know how many times I have given a speech. What is the speech? I still need you to teach me? Just wait and see!"
Then Napoleon entered the parliament hall with great confidence and gave a speech to the parliamentarians.
In his speech, Napoleon said that the French government today is too unreasonable, weak, corruption and inefficient, full of all kinds of scammers, scum, and traitors, who have brought the great situation to such a point. This is completely ruining the efforts of revolutionary soldiers. If this continues, the French Revolution will be over sooner or later. In order to save the revolution and save France, he suggested that the government should be reorganized immediately and a strong, honest and efficient new government should be established to defeat all revolutionary enemies.
Napoleon thought the MPs would cheer at him like his soldiers, but the MPs questioned him:
"General Bonaparte, are you going to establish a military government?"
"General Bonaparte, are you going to be a poisoned man?"
"We overthrew a tyrant, do you want to be the second tyrant now?"
Later, the shouts of "Down with the tyrant of the Poison Vegetables, Long Live Democracy" simply rang out.
The actions of the members of the parliamentarians were completely beyond Napoleon's expectations, and Napoleon did not prepare a plan for this. For a moment, he looked pale and was at a loss.
Perhaps Napoleon's actions inspired the members of the parliament, and they simply left the seat and surrounded Napoleon. Napoleon had already begun to look around and planned to find a place to escape quickly.
"It's so damn. I didn't bring a gun when I came in!" Napoleon thought.
At this extremely urgent moment, a team of soldiers and police rushed in under the leadership of Lucien and Fouche.
"Bang bang!" Lucien fired two shots into the sky.
The aggressive congressmen immediately returned to their seats, just like seeing the elementary school student of the class teacher.
Lucien gave Napoleon a wink and signaled him to go out quickly. Then he walked up to the podium, looked around the crowd fiercely, and said, "I know that some of you have betrayed the revolution, betrayed France, and become Bourbon's lackeys! Do you still want to murder the heroes of the revolution and the savior of the Republic now? Don't be deceived by these guys, be vigilant, beware!"
The members of the parliament were a little turbulent, but when everyone looked at the soldiers who were armed with guns and fired, they stopped talking.
"Now I propose to remove the immunity of those MPs who collude with the royal party. Everyone raise their hands to vote," Lucien said, raising his hands first.
Then, the members of the parliament raised their hands one by one.
"Very good, vote!" Luciendao.
Then Lucien gave his position to Fouche, who took out a small notebook from his side and started chanting his name. Every time he pronounced a name, one person was pulled out by the police. Fouche didn't read many names, only five. However, these five people were the guys who took the lead in attacking Napoleon just now.
After all these people were dragged out one by one, Lucien said again: "Now, can we ask Mr. Napoleon Bonaparte to continue to come back to give a speech?"
So Napoleon was invited back, and his speech became very brief: "Everyone heard my suggestion just now. Now we raise our hands to vote. Who agrees and who opposes?"
So all the members present at the Five Hundred People voted very unanimously in the spirit of responsibility for the revolution, France and history.
