How many people died in Paris that night? No one can count it clearly. Some people say 3,000 and some say tens of thousands. All data were destroyed. Only some sporadic folk records can be used as circumstance evidence.

At the end of Napoleon III's rule, the most strongly opposed class in society was actually the workers, petty bourgeois, and some enlightened intellectuals.

Because these people did not receive any benefits from the Second French Empire, the empire's conquest and expansion did not bring them any benefits.

Social wealth is seriously polarized, and aristocrats and large capitalists have taken almost all of their wealth, while it is difficult for the lower-level people to solve their food and clothing problems, let alone education and medical care.

This is an inevitable stage of the development of capitalism to imperialism, which is basically a hurdle that must be overcome in the evolution of the European power society. Unfortunately, Napoleon III did not have the ability to solve this problem.

Launch reform and give up some of his own power in exchange for a stable and excessive social conflicts? He and the borers around him will never be willing to give up the fat in their mouths.

The result is that social conflicts accumulate more and more. The seemingly strongest world, but in fact, it has already been full of internal injuries.

The most hit by the crackdown, the most deadly people, were basically concentrated on the left-wing workers' parties. After all, the small capitalists and intellectuals had a wide range of connections and fewer people. Napoleon III would not attack them unless he had to.

And those large number of workers' parties naturally became the targets of slaughter.

This is no longer a false case. This is a one-sided massacre. The diaries of some witnesses in later generations were made public. The scene at that time made future generations shudder when they heard it.

"A sudden heavy and bloody smell came from the banks of the Seine River. At a drainage estuary fifty meters west of my house, a blood river was actually flowing into the Seine River..."

"The blood water was red and quickly dissolved in the river. The Seine River, which had just started to roll, could easily dissolve the redness, but the bloody stream did not stop for fifteen minutes..."

"Just as if someone poured countless red fuel into the Seine, the bright red blood bandage began to spread gradually and soon cut a red stream in the blue river water..."

"It's not just the drain outlet that was flowing out of blood, but walking three kilometers along the river bank, there were four drain outlets that were flowing out of blood..."

"Some streets in the industrial area were blocked. Pale-faced coachmen drove their horses to drag heavy carts out of the city. There were no pedestrians on that road except them and soldiers, and the roars of martial law were endless..."

"Everyone knows that the canvas covers the corpse, and the occasionally exposed corner is full of the pale and loose hair..."

"This scene was completely blocked in France, and no one dared to report this news, but Napoleon III could not stop the whole of Europe's remarks. The massacre quickly took a walk in the land of Europe..."

Later generations can see from the diary that my anger was at that time. Almost every page of the paper was poked through by a fountain pen. There was no honor for the emperor, only one commanded name Napoleon III, which shows how high the anger of the people in Paris was at that time.

When the news of the Paris massacre reached Britain, Benjamin was also stunned. He never expected Napoleon III to be so crazy.

Benjamin's plan for France was very insidious. On the one hand, he would never allow Xiao Lotte's power to dominate East Asia. Therefore, on the Far East issue, Britain would join forces with Tsarist Russia and France.

However, Britain's basic national policy will not change, that is, it will try every means to suppress France, which ranks second. Therefore, it will definitely make France suffer more and bleed more during the French-Prussian War, and even Britain allows Prussia to win in some aspects.

This is a very sinister plan, definitely two-faced and three-faced plan, Tsarist Russia, Prussia, France, Chinese... These four most noisy countries, Britain is preparing knives behind their smiles.

What Benjamin wants is to attack all countries, but you still deserve my favor.

It is precisely because of this consideration that he prepared a grand welcome banquet for the Chinese people, and also cooperated with France to strangle the Chinese Oriental series of reports.

Benjamin's abacus is so smart. State visits should give you enough face, but excessively weakening France's power is absolutely not possible. Britain still expects France to fight harder. The French-Prussian War is best ending with both sides.

If you, Xiao Letian, disrupt the situation, broke the balanced power of Europe, which directly weakened France's war mobilization ability, which would increase Prussia's chances of winning.

The war cannot be ended so easily. These European land powers must die more and consume more national strength and wealth, which is in line with the interests of Britain.

But I never expected that Napoleon III was already crazy and faced with the aggressive attacks of the Chinese people, he actually made a lot of tricks.

Paris creates a tragedy? Don’t you want to fight? Before the National War, you hurt the emotions of the working class? Dig your own grave!

Do you still dare to send additional fleets to the Suez Canal? What do you want to do? Do you dare to stop my British warships? Don’t forget that you just have more shares and you have not obtained completely independent garrison rights!

British intelligence agencies issued emergency telegrams to the Prime Minister three times a day, and all clues pointed to one point.

"No! The French must not hurt our guests. This state visit is the glory of our British Empire. There must be no trouble. Benjamin I ask you to use all means to protect the safety of our guests!"

This is the Queen's original words. Benjamin then realized that one of the top secret information given to him by the intelligence agency was also given to the royal family.

It is true that the Queen does not speak on weekdays, but not speaking does not mean that she does not know. No one in the UK dares to object to the major events related to the national system.

Benjamin sighed and returned to the official residence and issued an order to the Navy, "to do our best to protect the security of the Qing and Chinese visiting missions, and all armed forces in the colony must mobilize..."

"In the face of the provocations of the French, we must not show weakness. We must ensure that the fleet passes through the Suez Canal safely!"

The Queen and the Prime Minister reached an agreement, and the entire colonies of the Sun-Down Empire received orders. When the Indian authorities received the Prime Minister's strict orders, the Governor did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered the remaining fleets to assemble to the Suez Canal in advance.

Another memorandum was sent to Sri Lanka and sent to the joint fleet, which led to the urgent visit of Major General Jason.

Note: The massacre of the working class in France is not a fabrication, but in fact, the killings in real history are much more ruthless than those written in the book.

After the most famous Paris Commune movement was suppressed, the new French government mobilized its troops to enter Paris and began to massacre ordinary people who supported the commune.

At that time, the French-Prussian War was just over the end, and hundreds of thousands of Prussian troops were stationed outside Paris. According to many Prussian officers, the Parisian citizens massacred at that time were in units of tens of thousands.
