Chapter 999： Bourbon restoration

The Spanish government has not yet made a decision, but the French civil war came to an end first. Regardless of how hard the new Paris government works, there will be no way to change food.

The sky and the earth are big, filling the stomach the most. Regardless of the general situation of the revolutionary government, ordinary people can't fill their stomachs today. Who can care about tomorrow?

There are only three ways before everyone: first, accept the new government honestly, and then be starved to death; second, rush out to survive, if you are lucky, you may be able to avoid the minefield perfectly; third, Rebellion and retake food from the revolutionary government.

Those who choose the first way are almost starved to death, even if they haven’t been starved to death, they only have half their lives left; those who choose the second way are either killed by bombing or retreat and escape. The sky is not much more than the European bison.

(Note: The European bison went extinct in 1627.)

In order to survive, more and more people in Paris joined the uprising. The new Paris government has been exhausted, more and more urban areas are occupied by the insurgents, and the situation has reached the most critical moment.

Danielle has long lost the spirit of the past, this round of social beatings is too cruel, and extinguishes all his illusions.

The intellectuals, students, and gangsters who originally supported the new government have now changed their faces. How much support there was before, how hostile is now, it seems that the situation is out of control because of their incompetence.

That said, it seems to make some sense. Judging from the results alone, the performance of the new government is indeed not very good. But to say that they are incompetent, it is really wronged.

If the only enemy was the Royal Party, the new government led by Danielle would have killed the Quartet a long time ago, and it is estimated that the whole country has now been calmed down.

It is a pity that the enemy they face is the entire European society. The radical revolutionary ideas are not only opposed by the aristocracy, but even by the bourgeoisie.

The ordinary people, who should have been their biggest supporters, also stood on the opposite side of them because of their stomach problems. Looking up, the whole world is their enemy.

...

The roar of guns is getting closer and closer, and every time Paris is crying. Seeing the enemy approaching, the captain of the guard dutifully reminded: "Mr. Danielle, the First Division has collapsed, and the enemy is coming here. Leave!"

Obviously, this is not the first time he has urged Danielle to run away. It's just that Danielle is firm and has persisted until now.

"Leaving, where do you think I can go if I leave now?"

"Rather than hiding in a corner and being caught by the enemy in the end, it's better to wait for them here. Even Robert didn't run. Am I not even a traitor?"

A politician is not easy to be a politician. Once you get too deep into the play, you can't get out. Now Danielle is too deep into the play. He firmly believes that the hapless Robert is a traitor, and he is a hero who saves the people from fire and water.

In other words, he deliberately paralyzed himself and prevented himself from waking up to escape the cruel reality.

After all, the situation is now clear, no matter who comes to power, he will not let his former leader go. Who made him break the rules of the game first?

Not only is he the boss who can't escape, but the younger brother behind is also unable to escape liquidation. But people are lucky, and Danielle's unwillingness to run doesn't mean that his subordinates can't run either.

Even if you can't get out of the city, Paris is so big, just find a small corner and drill inside. In this age of chaos, it is not easy to find a person.

...

Not sending troops to attack the city does not mean that Carlos does not care about the development of the city. In order to control the intelligence for the first time, Carlos dispatched airships to investigate every day.

The details are unclear, but Carlos still knows the general situation in the city. Once the new revolutionary government is finished, does he want to take over the mess in Paris?

If possible, he would rather take the order later. Even if it will lead to prolonged time for his succession, Carlos will not hesitate.

There is no way, as soon as we take over the market, we must assume the important task of helping the people and restoring the economy. It's not that Carlos likes to evade responsibility. The problem is that the mess is too big, and if you take it all at once, it will probably crush his shoulders.

Buy food if you don’t have enough food. Vienna’s control of food exports is only aimed at the revolutionary government, and the Bourbon dynasty is not within the limits. The only problem is that there is no money in the pocket.

Times are changing, and the cost of restoration is constantly rising. Even with the support of the noble group, Carlos's pocket was already empty after the formation of a restoration army and the resettlement of a large number of refugees.

"Borrowing money" is undoubtedly another headache. France’s huge debt has scared away all international banks.

In order to raise funds, Carlos started a crazy big sale model.

Overseas assets invested by the Bonaparte dynasty—sell; a series of infrastructure including ports, wharfs, roads, bridges, and parks—sell; state-owned banks, industrial and mining enterprises—sell; ...

In short, as long as there is no industry that can be realized, there is nothing that cannot be sold. If anyone pays, I guess Carlos wouldn't mind even selling the Palace of Versailles.

The most regrettable thing is that the situation in France is now collapsing, and the original valueless industry can only be sold for one floor price.

The floor price must also be sold. Who makes them short of money? Generally speaking, Carlos has done one thing recently: raise money-buy food.

In the restoration coalition headquarters, Lieutenant General Felix reminded: "His Royal Highness, the sound of guns in the city has been reduced, and it seems that the battle is about to end.

The time to seize Paris is approaching, and now we need to organize manual mine clearance and clear a road for the army to pass. "

When the mines were buried, how happy they were to play; when they were clearing mines, how hard they were. No one knew that civil strife would break out in Paris, and the mines were buried as hard as possible to avoid the enemy rushing out.

The inner three floors and the outer three floors are densely packed with mines. Even the soldiers responsible for burying mines can't accurately remember where they are buried.

Facts have proved that the landmine siege law is indeed very effective. The defenders in the city have been blown up in multiple attacks.

It's troublesome when clearing mines. This is a high-risk job. A bad operation will send oneself to the sky.

"Organize people to explore slowly. This kind of thing is not fast. The food in the city should be able to last for some days. We still have time. When necessary, we can organize airships to put food into the city."

They were all horrible ideas, but Carlos said without changing his face.

Excavating slowly, it seems to be responsible for the personal safety of the soldiers who cleared mines, but in fact, I want to accept the mess later.

Originally, the food in Paris can still last for a while, but after this wave of civil war, it is still unknown that it can last for a few days.

What's more, people's hearts are complicated. Even if there is food in the city, it is impossible to distribute it to everyone fairly. The end result is nothing more than that those in power continue to feast, and ordinary people continue to starve.

The airdrop of food is even more nonsense. The few old and broken airships in their hands can drop a dozen tons of food into the city every day. It looks like a lot, but it's a drop in the bucket.

If you don't suffer from shortage and unevenness, if you don't have enough food, you can only grab it. In a sense, putting food into the city is not solving problems, but intensifying conflicts.

Knowing that it was a bad idea, Carlos had to adopt it, because he had no better choice now.

As a reserve king, there is always something to do when the people are in dire straits. Even if the sequelae of these measures are serious, the starting point is always good.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many good intentions to do bad things, and they are finally forgiven; but those who really do good things often face accusations of impure motives.

Being able to stand out from many candidates, Carlos naturally does not lack political skills. If it is really a trash, even if the nobles are willing to accept a useless puppet, the Bourbon dynasty cannot let him out ashamed.

The situation in France is so chaotic, no matter who is up there, and the means are not ruthless, don't try to stand firm.

Looking at the problem from another angle, the more chaotic the current situation in Paris, the greater the casualties and the smaller the hidden dangers that will be faced after the future acceptance.

After the chaos ends, it is estimated that for a long period of time in the future, the people of Paris will become more familiar with the revolutionary party.

...

The wheels of history are rolling forward, which cannot be blocked by personal will. On December 7, 1893, the radical revolutionary regime led by Danielle was destroyed in the vast ocean of People's War.

On December 10, the Bourbon Restoration Group led by Carlos officially entered Paris. On the 12th, Carlos was crowned king in the ruined Palace of Versailles, and France once again opened the Bourbon era.

The restoration was successful, but Carlos, who was looking at the messy Palace of Versailles, regained the Bourbons, was not happy at all.

The years of hardship have just begun, and not only the Palace of Versailles is ruined, but the whole of France is in a state of waste. The resettlement of refugees, the restoration of the economy, and the repayment of debts have become the three big mountains weighing on Carlos.
