"Basic Principles" and rejected it.

In fact, the fact that the French do not have equipment is not a problem of human nature, but that it is too difficult to process and the cost is too high. Currently, only the Austrian army in Europe uses it.

Yes, the "new invention" that member was so boastful about was the air rifle designed by Italian inventor Bartolomeo Girardoni around 1779. Its basic size and weight were about the same as a flintlock gun, and it had a tubular magazine that could hold 20 rounds of bullets.

.

After installing the magazine, the user first erects the barrel, lets the bullet in the magazine slide to the bottom of the barrel, and then pushes a push rod at the rear of the barrel, through the flat spring connected to the side tube.

Load the bullet and enter the ready-to-fire state; after each shot, press the push rod again and the spring will return. Then repeat the above action again.

The biggest feature of this gun is that it can fire 25 times in one minute. It also has a high rate of fire, low shooting sound (compared to a flintlock gun), and no flame at the muzzle; in addition, because the inside of the barrel is engraved with ratchet rifling,

As a result, the shooting distance can reach up to 150 yards (137 meters).

The special gas storage tank it is equipped with is the butt at the tail. It is connected through threads. When shooting, the check valve at the interface is controlled to release the compressed gas through the linkage of the hammer. Each gas tank can be fired about 30 times.

The internal pressure is 800~850 PSI. The only troublesome thing is that you need to bring at least three compressed air tanks and matching tool kits during combat.

Well, it’s not surprising that there are Austrians behind the Royalists; after all, Marie Antoinette is the Archduchess from Austria, and the army of the Republic is still at war with the Prussian-Austrian forces. So it’s always

Both the Committee of Safety and the National Convention acknowledged this statement.

So the next question is, how did the attacker escape with three people, one large, two small, and one small? The city of Paris is now under full martial law. Tens of thousands of people have been searching for a whole day. Even a mouse escaped from the Temple Tower.

Now that we can catch them, where are the big living people?

Sewers? Of course we have looked for them. The problem is that the sewers in Paris in these days can suffocate people to death, so some people speculate that there must be an unknown secret passage inside or near the Temple Tower. The royalists are

It was through this passage that three people including Louis Charles could be taken away, while hundreds of people could escape unharmed.

Needless to say, you have to dig three feet into the ground to find the entrance to the passage!

During the General Security Council and the Paris Commune, they sent people to interrogate Marie Antoinette many times, hoping to pry answers out of her mouth. But Marie Antoinette dared to make the decision to stay.

They were prepared to be killed even if they were killed. The husband was gone, the children and Lady Elizabeth were taken away, and the Jacobins also had no bargaining chips to blackmail.

When the Jacobins saw this, they thought this was going to be really difficult! They did not dare to torture the queen. After all, the majesty of the royal power had not been shattered in the hearts of the French people. Otherwise, how could Napoleon be successfully elected ten years later?

Where is the emperor?

A few days later, the news of Louis XVI's death spread to all directions. After learning about it, various countries responded quickly.

British Prime Minister Peter Jr. first announced that the murder of Louis XVI was "the worst and most brutal act in human history." Immediately afterwards, the British Parliament unanimously voted to adopt a war proposal against France and approved war funding; Spain immediately recalled its garrison

Ambassador to France, and planned to declare war on France; then the Netherlands also began to actively prepare for war against France.

Catherine II of the Russian Empire learned of the news when she was about to go to bed. She was deeply shocked and saddened, and ordered the entire Tsarskoye Selo to mourn Louis XVI for six weeks.

Coupled with the previous Holy Roman Empire and Prussia, public opinion in almost all European monarchies has begun to oppose the First French Republic and demand the release of Marie Antoinette.

The reaction of the United States is more contradictory. They verbally support the Republic in trouble, but inwardly they feel that the death of Louis XVI is an opportunity, and they may not be able to repay the debt!

For the newly established French First Republic, after winning the battles of Valmy and Gemepis, it had occupied the entire Austrian Netherlands. It was a very exciting time. He was ordered to go to the Belgian front line to investigate the needs of the troops.

Danton declared: "The boundaries of France are defined by nature. The territory will be bounded by four points, the Atlantic Ocean in the north, the Alps in the south, the Pyrenees in the west, and the Rhine in the east."

On the tenth day after the Castle Temple incident, after learning the news from Britain, the National Convention decided to take a preemptive strike and declare war on Britain and the Netherlands.

In addition, Robespierre, Danton and others, who had successfully resolved the political crisis through self-defense, decided not to stop and proposed to set up a special court to try Marie Antoinette and let her compete with Louis XVI.

Go with me!

In such a tense atmosphere, the delegation from Beihai Town bid farewell to the Paris City Council. It was now winter and they wanted to return home while the storm at the Cape of Good Hope was at its lowest.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After discussion, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided that De Guigne should serve as the accompanying translator. In addition, De Guigne’s family will also accompany him to the East. The public reason is that the old De Guigne

Influenced by the Chinese scholar Jiao Xun, I wanted to explore and study the origins of the Chinese people.

In addition, at the suggestion of De Guigne, the four "Ra gods" Lavoisier, Lacroix, Lagrange and Laplace, as well as the National Convention member Marquis Condorcet will also carry

The family heads east. They will serve as goodwill envoys for the French government on a three-year academic visit to the town of Butterworth.

In fact, due to Zhao Xin's interference, the factional struggle in the National Convention has become increasingly intensified, far exceeding the pace of history in another time and space. The Jacobins were sharpening their knives, and Lavoisier and Gill, who were tax collectors in the king's era,

Condorcet, the core of the Lundists, had already sensed that the storm was coming. Thanks to Jiao Xun and Huang Chengji's prior communication and strong invitation, they decided to leave France with three other scholars.

Taking Lavoisier as an example, he had been forced to resign from the Gunpowder Committee and move out of his residence and laboratory at the Royal Academy of Sciences before coming to North Sea. In addition, for the Paris Commune controlled by the Jacobins

Said that the French Republic needs neither scholars nor chemists! (These are the original words when Lavoisier was sentenced to death.)

On November 25, the National Convention and the Paris City Hall held a warm and grand farewell dinner at the Tuileries Palace. Early the next morning, Deng Fei and his party were cheered by tens of thousands of Paris citizens.

Embark on the return journey to Le Havre.

Zhao Xin, who had already sent the three Louises to the Thor in advance, and then secretly returned to Paris, looked back at the city of Paris that was fading away, and couldn't help but murmured: "The king is dead, long live the
