An Ning followed the captain to the viewing platform.
Lafayette's face really looked disgusting.
It can also be understood that this is the so-called great power that shakes the master.
Although An Ning is not Lafayette's subordinate.
Lafayette: "It's really a good performance. When the opera was performed before, I should have known that it was your handiwork."
peaceful:???
Lafayette: "Stop pretending, the opera "The Storming of the Bastille" that was performed recently was composed under your instruction, right?"
An Ning: "I don't know, is there such an opera?"
Lafayette snorted, did not continue, and changed the subject: "Come on, let's raise the tricolor flag representing freedom together. According to the resolution of the National Assembly, this will be the national flag from today on."
An Ning said "Oh" and then followed Lafayette.
When they arrived at the flagpole, Lafayette took the flag-raising rope, then handed the back section to An Ning, and the two of them pulled the rope together to raise the tricolor flag to the top.
The Master of Ceremonies shouted: "Salute to the tricolor of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity!"
The crowd burst into cheers again.
Lafayette took the rope back from An Ning, tied it to the flagpole, then strode to the front of the viewing platform and began his speech.
"Everyone, as you all know, one year ago today, we ushered in a new era..."
Someone shouted below: "Did you create it? Then why are you not in the opera?"
Lafayette immediately pursed his lips and frowned.
An Ning was even more curious. He had been back to Paris for a week and had not heard of this opera. Is it because everyone who came to visit the manor assumed that I was the one who created this opera, so they tacitly didn't mention it?
Don’t they think I’m some careerist who is deliberately trying to expand my influence?
I'm not! What I've been thinking about from the past, to the present, and in the foreseeable future is "I just want to save my life in troubled times and don't seek to learn and reach the princes."
I want to fish!
The more An Ning thought about it, the more he felt that he should go find the guy who staged the opera to see who was responsible for this and whether someone wanted to harm him.
As for Lafayette, he pretended not to hear the cries of the crowd and continued his speech: "Although some unexpected situations occurred and some more blood was shed during the capture of the Bastille, this cannot conceal that this was a feat.
, since then France has entered a new era.
"After that, a series of dazzling changes took place, and now France is a brand new country! A country with a constitutional monarchy, where everyone is equal, and full of liberty, equality and fraternity!
"From now on, France will become a benchmark for European countries and lead them into a new era!"
An Ning thought, yes, just because France took the lead, all the monarchies in Europe later united to encircle and suppress France.
Now they have no action, just because Austria, Prussia and Russia are all staring at Poland.
Soon the world will become a world without Poland.
After annexing Poland, it is estimated that other countries will react and deal with free France.
Lafayette finally finished his speech.
According to the process, Louis XVI should preside over the ceremony next and wish France a better tomorrow.
As soon as Lafayette left, the crowd in the square shouted: "Mr. Frost, please speak!"
"The Lion, the Lion of Bastille speaks!"
Lafayette stopped and turned to look at An Ning, his face seemed to contain a thousand words.
"When the masses ask you to speak, just say a few words." He said.
An Ning nodded, then passed by Lafayette, walked to the highest point of the viewing platform, and looked at the crowd below.
There were no loudspeakers in this era, so An Ning could only shout with all his strength: "Everyone! One year ago, I led everyone to defeat the defense of the Bastille!"
——Actually, they were carried in!
An Ning pinched the second half.
"Under the situation at that time, I felt that something had to be done, otherwise there would be no change in France as a whole! We are obviously the birthplace of the Enlightenment, and the reforms of Queen Theresa of Austria and Frederick the Great of Prussia were all
The inspiration we have received here can be said to be the origin of these reforms!
"Is it reasonable that a country like ours still adheres to the old system of 150 years ago? Our current system is still the masterpiece of Cardinal Richelieu!
"This is obviously wrong. The birthplace of Enlightenment thought is the most conservative and backward country in Europe. There must be something wrong with it! So that day, I led the patriots who wanted to seek change and stormed the Bastille to express my gratitude to
The old system goes to war!”
The crowd below cheered.
An Ning raised his hands, suppressed the applause of the crowd, and continued: "But my mission ends here. As everyone knows, I am just the son of a cobbler. I only studied a little bit at the military academy in Brienne.
, far less intelligent and knowledgeable than the gentlemen of the Parliament!”
In fact, An Ning also studied at the Military Academy in Paris and even taught at the university, but it is not important. Don't worry about these details. The key now is not to let too much false fame fall on yourself.
During the Great Revolution, it was very dangerous, and people would be dead at some point.
An Ning: "As you all know, I rarely speak in parliament because I feel that I don't have the insight to make high-level remarks!"
**
Robespierre sat in the audience and frowned as he listened to An Ning's words: "What is he talking about? He is obviously full of true knowledge and insights. I have learned a lot from him!"
Danton: "Don't you know him yet? He is a little too humble!"
Robespierre: "This is not possible. This is actually a shortcoming. France needs talents like him!"
Marat: "Yes, if you have talent, you should show it thoroughly. Tomorrow's Friend of the People, I will severely refute his unnecessary humility!"
**
An Ning didn't know what her best friend was talking about.
He continued: "Fortunately, the work that requires rough men like us has been done now. The Bastille has been breached, and Conta's rebellion has been suppressed. From now on, there should be a peaceful and peaceful era.
I leave it to you knowledgeable gentlemen to govern the country!
"A warrior like me goes to guard places where there are still unstable factors!"
**
The Duke of Orleans frowned: "What the hell... He said a few days ago that there would be more turmoil in the future."
Talleyrand next to the Duke suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, okay, he is retreating in order to advance! He first excused himself and said that he would leave it to good gentlemen to govern the country, and then when the world is in chaos, he will be called back.
, Wonderful, wonderful. Your prospective son-in-law is very politically minded!"
**
An Ning finally finished speaking. At the end of his speech, he said: "As the beginning of a new era, I propose that we all sing "It Will Be Okay" together to express our expectations for a better future!"
After saying that, he started singing the first line himself.
Immediately afterwards, a jagged chorus sounded throughout the venue, and gradually the chorus became louder and louder, and finally turned into a chorus of the entire audience.
An Ning is like a conductor, waving his hands randomly on the stage to keep time.
After singing the song, he turned around and walked towards Louis XVI, bowing in front of the king: "Your Majesty, I have finished speaking, it is your turn."
Louis XVI curled his lips: "Well, very good, very good."
He stood up, patted An Ning's shoulder, and then walked forward.
An Ning is quickly rejuvenated.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, he was stopped by a young man.
"Mr. Frost!" The expression on the young man's face was like a groupie who has finally met his idol. "Hello! Mr. Frost! I wrote the opera "The Storming of the Bastille"... No, I
It's the composer who composed the music for that opera! I came from Cologne, so I met you!"
An Ning thought to himself, it's just you who fucks me, isn't it? Wait until I have a good talk with you!
An Ning: "Who are you?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ludwig von Beethoven!"
