C2811 Great Xiaxia Divergence (1/2)

Despair filled every pore of the empire. From Paris to the Marseille, from the cities to the villages, all the people of France could smell the scent of despair.

The news of the army's consecutive defeats was already a foregone conclusion. Although the news of the navy's crushing defeat was forcefully suppressed by the empress, the rumors never stopped.

The workers on the left were arming their own Self Guard, they started using various channels to stock up weapons, there were also Blanqui's men in the weapons factory in Paris, they had even marked out the location of the cannons.

As long as the time was ripe, not only would these workers possess rifles, they could even snatch cannons!

The People's Republic of China did not stay idle either, especially for those like Gan Bida, who were the leaders of the Dojo of Limits. They left the stinky pond in Paris and began to use their influence to promote the Republic's ideology.

Moreover, these people were constantly encouraging the youngsters to join the military camp. They encouraged the people to contribute and even used their patriotism to forcefully take over some of the warehouses.

To put things bluntly, Gan Bida could transfer even more resources than Queen Ou Renni!

It made sense, because Paris was a land of death, while the vast south of France was a country with a deep strategy!

Of course, there were also schemers and schemers like Thiers. He used all sorts of methods to steal the wealth of the Imperial Bank, and then used this wealth to arm his own guards.

Thiers was not stupid. He knew that tens of thousands of Gold franc could not even organize an army, all he wanted to do was to defend Paris, the center of political power, and use a strong guard to hold the council in place.

Thiers had planned for the Empire to collapse sooner or later, and at that time, the France would definitely return to the system of the Republic.

Whether it was the presidential or the prime minister system, these people needed the strong support of the council!

The moment Da Xia was about to fall, Thiers's money and guards would be able to protect these powerless councilors. As long as they could control the majority of the councilors, they would have a place for Thiers in the future.

Everyone was making preparations. Everyone was waiting for the upheaval that was about to occur!

There were even some nobles from other branches of the Bonaparte Family who had already started evacuating to England or Spain. What was interesting was that Empress Ou Renni actually drank up all the wine that was stored in the Tuileries' Palace for over a hundred years and over.

In fact, Ou Renni's heart was also filled with despair!

During this period of time, he had lost more than five kilograms, and his hair had already turned white overnight. The high mental pressure caused his appetite to continuously ache, and he seemed to have to fight against the illness with all of his might.

His son, Prince Eugen, was also in a tough spot. The two dark circles around his eyes were like smoke that had been smoked before.

In the morning of the patrol city, Crown Prince had personally witnessed a group of random soldiers rushing into the houses to rob food, and even raping women.

The adults' scolding and the children's pain made him heartbroken. The angry Crown Prince immediately ordered his men to be killed on the spot.

But they never would have thought that Ironfist City's military discipline would be exchanged for anger from countless soldiers. Killing the soldiers was already out of control of the army, and Crown Prince knew that if they continued to lose like this, the army would turn into a mess sooner or later!

From then on, Crown Prince did not dare to casually shoot and kill soldiers. Even if he encountered a case of adultery or looting, he would only use his whip to punish the soldiers.
