3074 Gambetta resigned

On December 17, 1870, just eight days before Christmas, there were suddenly countless notices posted on the streets of Paris, and countless newspaper boys were delivering their tickets on the streets.

The surrender order of the Provisional Defense Government has finally been informed to the people of Paris and France!

"...I declared to the whole of France with a deep heart that because the war has scarred France and the situation is irreversible. If we continue to fight, we will only put the motherland in a state of doom..."

“…After the joint resolution of the Provisional Government and the urgent consultations with the Prussian side, the Provisional Government of the National Provisional Government solemnly announced the conditional surrender to Prussia in exchange for the end of the war…”

"...From the time when the draft treaty was signed, both sides immediately stopped all military operations, and the city defenses in Paris were transferred to Prussia for responsibility, and Prussia must ensure the smooth flow of the road to transport materials to Paris in all France..."

"...The resistance movements in various French provinces will be stopped immediately from now on. All military organizations will immediately put down their weapons and stop their offensive operations against the Prussian Legion..."

"...The Loire Corps, immediately stop fighting, station on the spot, and maintain the existing military dividing line..."

"...France will pay 200 million francs of war reparations to the Prussian side and 60 million francs of war reparations to the Chinese..."

The whole of Paris was stunned, and the whole of France was also stunned. Gan Bida of Orleans looked at the telegram in his hand and couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed and confirmed it again and again, and finally tore the telegram to pieces.

"Losing power and humiliating the country! Losing power and humiliating the country! Can you sign such a city alliance? It's simply a loss of power and humiliating the country!" Gan Bida burst into tears and shedded.

When Metz surrendered, Garbida had drunk a bottle of whiskey of heights, and he locked himself in a tent and cried all night.

But after the emotions were released, Gan Bida stood up like an iron man and continued to command the Southern Legion to launch an attack on Prince Carl.

Although the results of the battle during this period were not ideal, there were more and more regular troops in northern Prussia, and these elite veterans were not something that a group of new recruits who had just started the battlefield could solve.

But the Southern Legion is becoming more and more courageous as it fights. With the support of the Southern Province with endless potential, as long as there is enough time, the war will definitely reverse.

But unexpectedly, Trosh from Paris surrendered, and the bad news on sunny days directly caused Gan Bida to collapse!

Countless commanders rushed into the command center, and they surrounded the Minister of the Interior and were panicked.

"Minister...the Provisional Government has surrendered, how can we fight? Do we have to disobey?"

"Is the veteran general crazy? How can such a shameful treaty be signed? How can 260 million francs be given to the enemy for free!"

All of these officers were so angry that some even shouted the slogan of marching towards Paris and disbanding the provisional government! He didn't think about it, Prince Carl's legion in the north was blocked like a mountain, how could you march!

Just when the command center was in chaos, the civil servants under Gan Bida spoke weakly, "Mr. Minister...we...we hope you can calm down!"

"There have been some abnormal movements in the southern province recently, and the situation has become a little different... Our combat readiness work has suddenly encountered many obstacles, and the efficiency is far less than before..."

What exactly happened? After listening to the rewards of his civil servants, Gan Bida's heart was three points colder than hearing the surrender declaration!

It turns out that those southern provinces that have not experienced the harm of war are also the traditional territory of the royalist party!

What is the royalist party? In fact, the composition of these people is very representative, mainly aristocrats, conservative capitalists, and the power of the Holy See.

And these three types of people have the highest prestige in southern France!

Those who have studied modern human history are very clear that the main forces of people's ideological awakening are the first ones, the intellectual class, and the second ones are the working class.

Farmers have always been synonymous with conservatism, which is a common phenomenon around the world.

The same is true in France. Those farmers who have been locked in the countryside for their entire lives are basically instilled with the people around them.

In those noble villas in beautiful countryside, the great men patrolled their territory majestic. In the bells of the church, the devout pastor led the villagers to perform mass.

Who is a conservative capitalist? To put it bluntly, he is a Chinese squire!

These three types of people are closest to farmers and have the most knowledge. Who else can they listen to if uneducated farmers don’t listen to them?

And these three types of people are basically seventy-eighty-eighty-ninety-ninety-ninety-ninety-ninety-nine!

When the French emperor began to order remote control to the royalist party in Kassel, these people began to control the behavior of farmers in various names.

It is now the end of the 19th century, not the mid-twentieth century. The working class is still much weaker at this moment. The economic foundation of southern France is actually supported by peasants and conservative capitalists.

Once these people start to disobey the enemy, the efficiency of preparing for war in the south will be significantly lagging behind.

Local governments began to cry for poverty, farmers refused to overdue taxes, and local powers even asked the provisional government to pay the arrears of farmers immediately...

The white slips signed under the patriotic flag were not easy to use, and more and more farmers are asking for cash transactions!

Even in daily work, local provincial officials are often pointed at the nose by farmers and scolded, "Why did they still not drive the Prussians out after fighting for so long?"

"If your interim government cannot do it well, then ask Your Majesty to come back and continue to do it! Who else can you find if you don't look for the Bonaparte family?"

Look! Farmers are so short-sighted, they are so easy to be exploited by people with ulterior motives!

Gan Bida sat on the chair, and everything was connected together. He suddenly understood and woke up. It turned out that someone had already arranged everything.

Behind the entire Franco-Prussian War is an extremely fierce big hand who is constantly manipulating the internal conflicts of France!

"What a terrible enemy! Use the enemy's contradictions to attack the enemy, and use all the best to differentiate France... Who is this person? Bisme or Xiao Lotte?"

"Damn it!"

Gan Bida stood up and said loudly, "My comrades, the situation is unclear at the moment, we cannot act rashly... From now on, stop attacking, seize the time to train the soldiers..."

"All localities continue to expand their troops and continue to organize materials..."

"However, I must make a statement. In order to protest the life of the Provisional Government, I decided to resign! I quit this Minister of the Interior and I don't want all positions in the Provisional Government!"

"Immediately send me a telegram to all France. I do not agree to the interim government's ceasefire agreement. I, Gan Bida, resigned!"

The officers around them also understood, and they pulled their chests high, "Please rest assured, your resignation, our Loire Corps will always obey your orders!"

"This interim government is a cartilage! We will use our cannons to help you prepare for the new government!"

"The Loire Corps will always be your strong backing!"

Only then did Gan Bida realize how wonderful it is to master the army!

No matter what, the army is always purer and simpler than the place! If this army was created by you, it will be like your child and will never leave you forever!

The army admires the good man, not the appointment document!
