124 Parade
"Have all the officials loyal to Lord Li Wei in the city been evacuated?"
"Don't worry, Fatis, the new mayor of Rouen is a surrendered liberal aristocrat who surrenders with his army. The troops he leads are mixed with multiple liberal aristocrats' private armies, and the mayor is just a person on the table.
Even if he is taken down, it will be difficult to control this army.
And these people who surrendered with the army, the French Kingdom that Lord Levi just established cannot be rejected. This time it happened to be used as your battle to become famous.
Rouen is the capital of Seine-sur-Maritime province of Upper Normandy. After taking it, you can call on all the rebel forces to unite under your command and seek an important position in Jacobin, Paris.
Now Jacobin is having a very thrilling stir in Paris. The unpopular trousers led by Jacobin's radicals don't even listen to the ruling leader of the Gironde. If Paris continues like this, it will be a mess sooner or later.
Of course, this is also your chance to climb up quickly!
Those radical Jacobin party leaders attach the most importance to military power. As long as you achieve your results, you will not be buried."
Aren, who belongs to the Secret Front Spy Division, said to Fatis earnestly.
"You don't need to tell me these great principles, since Rouen City does not have our own people, I can let go of my hands.
Lord Li Wei’s power is so powerful. My original subordinates have only been training for a month, and their marksmanship can reach this level. With such a trump card, I will not fail!”
"Those soldiers who have received training from Lord Levi are also loyal to Lord Levi. You'd better not let them charge on the front line and kill too many people, so that you can win over the reorganized guerrillas in recent times... Oh no, it's the Jacobin National Self-Defense Force charging in front.
Those sharpshooters are responsible for fire cover.
We cannot provide you with material support. The weapons, equipment and food and supplies of your troops need to be found by yourself. The seized good guns are given priority to those sharpshooters. They will not betray you and Lord Li Wei!"
Alanne kindly reminded.
This is the first time that Fatis's armed forces have taken the initiative to attack a big city several months after they were "rescued". Aren naturally has to give it a careful advice.
Arain is the direct person in charge of Senave’s single-line contact with Fatis!
"Hehe, I'm familiar with this. There are many people in Rouen who are very unfriendly to Lord Levi's policies.
Mobilizing the masses here can make my uprising twice the result with half the effort!”
On the main road of Rouen, Kanore and his family were driving towards the city government.
Karnol lifted the curtains from time to time and looked at the numb citizens outside, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I don't know whether my decision is right or wrong. If I had known this, I would have surrendered to Li Wei directly with Senavi.
As a result, after several turns, the team dispersed, and I had to take you to the new Kingdom of France…”
"Father, the situation is different now than before. The villain Brisso forced the constitutional monarchy to resign collectively, relied on violent means to take office, and even put King Louis XVI under house arrest and turned France into a republic!
After all, we are nobles, and Li Wei is not bad at all. At least he has taken the banner of the Kingdom of France, so that we will not be regarded as traitors when we surrender.
What's more, we are in return for Uncle Lar. He and a group of liberal nobles have surrendered with their army. As long as Li Wei wants to continue to establish the banner of the Kingdom of France, he will not dare to do anything to us!"
"Yes, my child, you see it thoroughly."
Kanoll stroked the forehead of the teenage boy in front of him, with a kind smile on his face.
Kanoll and his group of carriages soon arrived in front of the city government gate. As soon as Kanoll got off the carriage, he saw a group of parades holding the flag "Freedom, Equality, and Love", rushing over at a glance.
Karnor was shocked. In his impression, under Li Wei's rule, he had strict management of the people. If someone really marched together to oppose him, he would even directly pull the cannons into the city and bombard the parade crowd with shotguns!
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big. There are so many people in a country. It is impossible for all to agree with the laws issued by the government. There will always be a group of people who are dissatisfied with society.
Therefore, relatively peaceful demonstrations will occur in many countries, but the only type of country does not exist. It is that marches involving anti-government remarks will be dealt with as a serious crime!
In other words, if the police or the army directly suppresses the parade, as long as the action is ruthless, naturally no people dare to marche and demonstrate...
Of course, this is not suitable for the harmonious society in the later 21st century. That society has great significance and it is impossible to really shoot and suppress the people marching.
But it doesn't matter in this era. If it weren't for the great revolution in Paris, the people wouldn't have had the concept of parades. At the beginning, the large-scale assembly and parade of citizens would have exploded.
However, the people's march in this era is not empty-handed, the government has no human rights concerns, and the people are not stupid, so why would they not take their own "weapons" when they march on the streets?
At this time, Karnor saw several citizens in front of the parade, holding old-fashioned hunting rifles!
The type of front-mounted smoothbore gun that requires fuse firing.
What made Karnol even more frightened was that there were escorts from Rouen's fully armed security forces on both sides of the parade.
After Rouen surrendered to Li Wei, he naturally established a security regiment. However, the garrison army belonged to an army carefully selected and trained by 997. Therefore, the first garrison army in the city of Rouen, which had not been surrendered for a long time, had not yet appeared in the first batch of garrison troops, only the security regiment.
As for the police, they are not well-organized and have no right to equip guns, so they naturally won't appear here.
Security groups are usually formed by locals. The security groups in villages and towns are rural people in villages and towns, and the security groups in cities are recruited by citizens in cities.
Therefore, these security groups must have relatives and friends in the civic parade. This is a collective movement. Kanoll doesn’t know who the organizer is, but someone must have attracted the security groups in advance!
It was precisely because of the escort of the security team along the way that the parade was not suppressed in advance and walked over easily.
Fortunately, the soldiers standing guard and guarding at the gate of the municipal government were not from the security group, but private soldiers brought by the liberal aristocratic generals who surrendered to them. These people did not maintain the Li Wei regime, but the liberal aristocratic boss sitting in the municipal government.
