After Robespierre finished speaking, the venue was once again in an uproar.
"Don't want a king?"
"Isn't that like those New World people?"
A member of Parliament immediately stood up: "We just chose to become a constitutional monarchy not long ago, and now we are about to become a republic. Isn't it a bit of a joke?"
The congressman's words were echoed by many people.
Moreover, many of the onlookers spoke in agreement, and these people were immediately looked at with strange eyes by the people around them.
The crowd was very clearly and blatantly divided into two groups.
Someone shouted loudly: "Before, you said you didn't want the Pope, and now you don't want the King. If this continues, you will become lawless!"
Robespierre: "Don't you understand? It is because of these bad things that we will be defeated. Now the whole of France is in danger! Facts have proved that what we need now is a complete revolution! Put away all the old and bad things
Get rid of everything!
"Historically, Britain has given us a reminder that the British revolution won victory only after hanging the king!
"Now, although we don't have Cromwell in France, we can still hang the king!"
Philip Equality said tremblingly: "Well, as the father of the current king, I object. What's wrong with my child? It was you who helped him to the throne, and now you are talking to yourself about hanging him.
...You just need someone to take responsibility for failure!"
Danton jumped on the case: "This is not a question of responsibility, but a question of incomplete revolution! The south of France controlled by Frost has formed a de facto republican system. Only a republic can save France!"
Danton's words sparked widespread agreement.
Then a young man with a handsome face stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Friends! Our motherland France is in danger now! If saving France requires us to hang the king and hang the traitors, then we will hang them!"
"
If An Ning were here, he would definitely scream in surprise.
Yes, because this handsome guy is St. Just, the archangel of the revolution who is famous for his handsomeness.
Saint-Just's speech further intensified the conflict between the two parties and made the quarrel even more heated.
Finally, the Jacobins gradually gained the upper hand.
The Congress reached two consensuses: first, large-scale conscription to save the motherland; second, a comprehensive liquidation of the enemies and traitors of the motherland.
Robespierre spoke for the eleventh time after the day's debate, setting the tone for the day's debate: "Everyone! The facts are very clear! The traitors headed by the king must be liquidated, and the king must die, because France must
born!"
**
It was already a week later that the news reached Italy.
An Ning was shocked: "What the hell, did Robespierre really say this?"
Barras nodded. News from Paris would basically be sent to Barras first, because he is the special correspondent of the Paris National Assembly in Italy: "Yes, that's what Mr. Robespierre said."
An Ning pursed her lips.
Of course he knows Robespierre's famous sayings. The "original version" of another time and space is "Louis must die and the Republic must live." It was when Robespierre was debating whether to execute Louis XVI.
Your speech.
An Ning did not expect that history would return to its original path in this way after deviating so much.
It seems that the situation in Paris is really complicated. The people in Paris decided to take the first step to liquidate the domestic opposition because they were afraid that after the Austrians invaded Paris, the opposition would take the opportunity to liquidate.
The other thing is the conscription bill. An Ning remembers that in real history it was because of this conscription that the conflicts in the Vendée and other places completely intensified, igniting the great rebellion in the Vendée.
Barras looked at An Ning's expression and asked doubtfully: "Why, you are not satisfied with the result of moving towards a republic? Yes, after all, the current king is the son of the Duke of Orleans, and the Duke of Orleans is your benefactor..."
An Ning shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I am worried that such drastic measures will lead to the complete division of France.
"We are already facing a formidable enemy and yet we are taking such drastic measures. What on earth are Robespierre and his gang thinking?"
Tranquility is still the thinking of the Chinese people. Modern Chinese people have been baptized by that era, and their thinking habit is that when facing a powerful enemy, they should first unite their forces to resist foreign enemies.
This is the wisdom left to contemporary Chinese people.
But the French obviously do not have this wisdom.
In the face of foreign enemies, they decided to clear out the internal opposition first.
An Ning: "Taking such radical measures will lead to domestic division, which is not conducive to resisting the Austrians."
Barras looked confused, because he couldn't figure out An Ning's tendency, so he chose to remain silent.
But Napoleon didn't have so many scruples: "It doesn't matter, the royal party was going to be liquidated anyway, so we just took this opportunity to liquidate it completely."
An Ning: "Now that we are in a mess internally, how can we deal with external enemies? There are only two fortresses left between Austria and Paris."
"It's easy." Napoleon said confidently, "It won't be over until you go back!"
An Ning was shocked: "Should I go back?"
It's as if I can make 200,000 Prussian-Austrian troops stop if I go back!
Napoleon said confidently: "The more critical the situation is now, the greater the benefits will be if you go back and beat the enemy away! If you go back now and beat the enemy away, think about it, you are the Cromwell of France.
It’s the French Caesar!”
An Ning frowned and teased: "Then should I take the opportunity to change my name to Gaius?"
Caesar's surname is Gaius, and An Ning's joke would make the Roman chefs ecstatic.
"No problem!" Then the Roman chef Napoleon was very excited, "If you change your name to Gaius, I will change my surname to Octavian!"
An Ning: "Then I was stabbed to death by Robespierre in Parliament, right?"
No, Robespierre would probably use the guillotine?
What kind of fusion of historical memes?
Napoleon laughed loudly: "It's better not to do it. I hope Andy will always live. You are my best friend and mentor!"
At this time, Barras finally understood An Ning's tendency, so he boldly said: "So, you are ready to return to Paris? Are you finally going to return to Paris?"
An Ning pouted: "Well...if I don't return, is it possible to hold Paris?"
After asking An Ning, I regretted it and thought to myself, what am I doing? I'm not really a military genius. I can turn the tide once I return to Paris.
However, after all the questions were asked, Barras looked ecstatic: "Only you can defend Paris! There is no doubt about it!"
