048 One hit three
Although the blue, white and red tricolor flag has not been designated as the national flag by the Constitutional Assembly of the Kingdom of France, it has been circulating all over the Kingdom of France, and the National Self-Defense Force in Paris directly characterized it as its own military flag.
At this time, the National Self-Defense Force in Paris and the regular army of the Kingdom of France were completely different. It was even completely different from the city guards in Paris, the security forces in the countryside, the police force and other armed organizations.
There have always been voices in the Constitutional Assembly that they want to disarm the National Self-Defense Force and ban this unwanted army.
In the eyes of some bigwigs, the Revolution has ended and there is no need to spend a large amount of military expenditure to maintain the National Self-Defense Force.
Even if the National Self-Defense Force is the staunch guardian of the revolution.
Nowadays, those who earn the fruits of the Paris Revolution are the big bourgeois bankers, liberal aristocrats, speculators and other people from the upper class who have either power or money!
Naturally, some people are unwilling to continue to exist in the National Self-Defense Force, which is composed of Paris citizens. Even today's National Self-Defense Force generals are all upper-class people and obey the Constitutional Assembly.
The fruits of the Paris Revolution have now been completely plundered by the top leaders of the French Kingdom. Even the National Self-Defense Force, which was the current driving force during the Revolution, were controlled by Lafayette and others, and became a sharp blade for fighting for power and profit.
The blue, white and red three-color flags represent different meanings, and blue represents the municipal government during the Great Revolution, that is, order.
During the Great Revolution, the municipal government was inclined to the revolutionary side!
Red represents freedom and the people, and the blue and red are actually the color of the city emblem of the Paris Municipal Government.
White was added later. After Louis XVI surrendered and compromised, the constitutional monarchy led by Lafayette proposed to add white to the military flag representing the revolution, forming the current blue, white and red three-color flag.
The background color of the royal flag of the Kingdom of France is white!
This shows how powerful the constitutional monarchies hold in the Constitutional Convention today.
Without the protection of the constitutional monarchies, Louis XVI would not have been able to restore the king's identity and rights at all.
The constitutional monarchy wanted to imitate the political situation in Britain and reorganize the state's regime and jointly manage the entire France with the king.
Unfortunately, the constitutional monarchies were too idealistic. On the one hand, they recognized the results of the revolution and deprived the absolute monarchy of Louis XVI, and only retained part of the king's rights to Louis XVI, which made Louis XVI very dissatisfied.
And because of his efforts to protect King Louis XVI, he offended those revolutionary parties who wanted to imitate the United States to establish a republic system, and neither side was comforted!
This is also why the constitutional monarchists clearly occupy the general trend in the constitutional convention but still cannot control the overall situation and have endless opposition voices.
When Li Wei saw the messy clothes on the opposite side, but the unified blue, white and red three-color flags, he sighed helplessly.
He didn't know anything else, but Li Wei knew that the Brittany region had become a hardcore supporter of the Paris Revolution at this time, otherwise there wouldn't be so many miscellaneous troops using the blue, white and red three-color flags together.
This is not good news, it means that the bourgeoisie represented by Wallace, the Speaker of the parliament of Brittany, has a stronger power and influence in Brittany than it shows!
The biggest beneficiary of the Paris Revolution was the bourgeoisie in France. This is beyond doubt. It is completely different from the benefit of the people in propaganda. Therefore, the lower-class citizens and farmers who do not have many right to know will think that they are the beneficiaries of the Revolution...
If the lower class people really benefited, there would not be a revolution that won’t be successful until now, and there are still a large number of civilians and farmers who are unable to eat enough!
It is no exaggeration to say that the living standards of the citizens and peasants in France have not improved much from those before the revolution. The riot farmers did burn a large number of contracts, but this was not enough to get them much bread.
The urban class in the city was even more miserable. They had no chance to rob the aristocratic castles at all. The urban class was different from the peasant class. The main ones who exploited the peasant were fiefdom nobles and church forces, while the majority of those who exploited the citizens were bourgeois factory owners.
Now that the bourgeoisie is in power, how can it be possible to improve the social welfare of workers?
Of course, the citizen class is not all fools. As time goes by, more and more ordinary citizens realize something is wrong.
The brain can be fooled, but the belly can't deceive people. The revolution has succeeded, why do they still have no food to eat?
Therefore, the seemingly harmonious city of Paris is actually undercurrents, with various secret clubs emerging one after another, and taverns and clubs have become gathering places for the petty and medium-sized bourgeoisie and intellectuals.
These people are not particularly rich, they live in similar places to ordinary citizens, and they are also smart, and they know the anger in the hearts of ordinary citizens today.
Moreover, this kind of people have no worries about food and drink, and have received various ideological shocks. For the sake of their ideals or just ambitions, they are jointly forming parties and conspiring to launch a second revolution!
The citizen class who cannot eat enough is the best cannon fodder, and smart people can see it!
This is also the reason why the National Self-Defense Force has not been disbanded by the Constitutional Assembly and can receive military pay.
The bigwigs of the Constitutional Assembly are worried that once the bloody citizen armed forces in the National Self-Defense Forces have been disbanded, they will become the main force of the Second Revolution!
The Declaration of Human Rights has pleased the people, but it cannot solve the people's food problem for a long time, and it will explode sooner or later.
Of course, this is not a problem that Wallace and his group need to worry about now.
If a second revolution really breaks out, the densely populated, economically developed city of Paris will definitely be the first eruption point.
The artillery of the Black Dragon Legion had moved to the front row, and the line infantry under Li Wei formed a company formation, slowly moving forward, with military music and drums endlessly.
More than a dozen cannons were penetrated into the gap between the company's phalanx and moved forward.
However, the Ile-Velene Legion on the opposite side had already relied on the advantage of three to one, and expanded into a semi-encircled circle and wrapped up towards Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion.
At the same time, cavalry teams cruised on the periphery, compressing the Black Dragon Legion's activity space.
The advantage of the Iller-Velene legion is too great, and there is no need for any tactics. Just press it up and wrap it up and wrap it up and eat it forcibly.
As the Ile-Villenne legion appeared on the horizon and completely unfolded, Levi discovered that the number of enemy troops on the left and right wings and the three central army was no less than that of his own Black Dragon Legion.
In other words, no matter which direction the Black Dragon Legion attacks, the enemies they encounter are almost the same.
As the distance narrowed, the direct-fired field artillery began to be deployed on the spot. The infantry's footsteps had not stopped yet, and the roaring artillery battle suddenly broke out.
