Fox of France

　　 Robespierre has indeed published several articles recently, strongly opposing some hardliners in the parliament to initiate a preemptive war against Austria.

　　 At any time, the parliament is always full of radicals. Because generally speaking, parliamentarians do not have to bear political responsibility for their words and deeds, because they have no decision-making power. In this way, the congressmen become a bit like the former superintendents who eat the country and can speak nonsense without any scruples.

On the other hand, among a large group of parliamentarians, if someone wants to stand out, stand out and become the leader of the parliamentarians, there must be some way for everyone to see him clearly amidst the crowds; He could still hear his voice amidst the crowd.

To do this, the first method is like Mirabeau, who is half a head taller than others, eight feet tall, and eight feet tall. Even if you hide in a crowd, it is like a firefly in the night. Be seen at a glance. Coupled with a natural loud voice, speaking like a lion roar, it can easily cover other people's voices.

　　 It’s just that this method requires too much congenital conditions, and not every member of Congress has the same ability as Mirabeau. In fact, since Mirabeau was defeated by the disease, there has been no such person in the French parliament. So the remaining legislators can only use the second method, which is to sensationalize, use horrifying topics and shocking claims to attract attention. Anyway, Members don’t have to take responsibility. Isn’t it just nonsense? Who won't? Therefore, the more brainless you are about emotions, the more courageous and resolute and reckless, the more you can lead the trend.

　　 Just like the Citi state in later generations, when a certain chieftain was still a senator, he repeatedly proposed to sever diplomatic relations with Dongda Chi State and restore diplomatic relations with Frog Island. When he became the commander, he completely forgot about these things and regarded all these things he had said as emitting greenhouse gases. Only I, Lord God, would leave the group when it said retiring from the group, and repair the wall when it said repairing the wall. This is really a rare sincere gentleman in the history of the Great Citigroup.

　　Since this is the case in the parliament, irrational views naturally tend to prevail. At this time, institutionally speaking, the king with the veto power is required to step on the brakes. However, the king did not want to step on the brakes on this issue, because he also yearned for war. In the eyes of the queen, if a war breaks out, the divided France will be vulnerable to a blow. Then they can rebuild their kingship under the protection of the Austrian bayonet. Therefore, the king had no intention of stepping on this brake. What's more, since the fleeing incident, although the parliament has determined that the king was kidnapped and restored all the rights of the king, the king has lost the trust of the vast majority of parliamentarians. He has antagonized the parliament and treated himself No good.

　　According to Napoleon's analysis, nowadays, in terms of interests, only those in the Jacobin Club are the ones who truly love peace. But Jacobin had too few seats. Prior to this, they were able to stop the Fayanists' attempts many times, relying on the tacit alliance with the Mafia. Even so, in the parliament, they can only achieve insufficient success and more failure. Nowadays, the Mafia will not be on their side in this matter, so relying on them alone, it is now impossible to "more than defeat".

　　 In order to solve this problem, Robespierre called several of his good friends together to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone knows that if there is a war now, it will only benefit those people." Robespierre said. "If the war fails, it goes without saying that all the fruits of the revolution will disappear, and France will go back to the past again. And if the war is won? Then some people can establish a personal military dictatorship as the “heroes who saved France”. Therefore, our most important task now is to prevent as much as possible. war."

"Maximilian," Mara said, "I can write articles exposing the royal family and calling on the people to be wary of conspiracies in war fanaticism. But I'm not sure how effective it will be. You know, my article is for parliament. Basically no effect."

　　 Mara’s "Friends of the People" newspaper, can be said to be famous in Paris. Especially before the king fled, he reminded the people more than once in the newspaper to be vigilant and prevent the king from fleeing. In the beginning, most of his remarks were regarded as unfounded and worrying nonsense, and Mara was also regarded as a clown in grandstanding. But the facts have proved his foresight, so now the influence of "Friends of the People" in Paris has greatly increased, but because of position issues, this influence is still limited to the middle and lower levels in Paris. In Parliament, Mara does not have enough influence.

　　 "Unless there is another revolution..." Saint Just said.

　　 "The timing is not yet ripe." Robespierre shook his head.

　　 "We can think of ways to improve the timing." Saint Just continued.

　　 "Tell me what you think?"

"We can put forward a series of proposals in the parliament that are beneficial to the people of Paris, but will inevitably be rejected by the parliament, such as restricting the price of food, prohibiting speculation, controlling the issuance of coupons, and avoiding the issuance. After the Bin faction came to power, they did not issue less instructions)” Saint Just said, “They will definitely veto these proposals, and every time they veto, the people will be educated once, and they will be disappointed in the parliament of those masters once more. , Their anger will be even more prosperous, and at a certain time, when they fully see that the current parliament does not represent France, they will surely initiate a revolution again."

"But, Louis, this will speed up their pace of launching war." Robespierre said, "We will do all of what you said. But now, we urgently need something that can hold the war. The way. Even if it only takes a while. Lafayette is already issuing vouchers to his soldiers as military pay. This has naturally brought a series of complaints in the army and the National Guard. There is no doubt that, It will damage his influence on the army. As long as we hold him for a while, he won't be a Caesar!"

　　 "Joseph Bonaparte was under Lafayette. He was a very clever man. We might as well discuss with him, maybe he would have a way." Saint Just said.

"Look for him?" Robespierre frowned. "I think Mr. Bonaparte is actually very reluctant to intervene in these things with us. And he has already done us a big favor last time, and he has been affected by it. A certain loss. Lafayette has recently moved him and his brothers to remove them from key positions."

"Mr. Bonaparte will not care about it." Saint Just said, "Mr. Bonaparte is really not willing to interfere too much in politics. His interest is more on the side of nature-this is natural. Because he is very talented in those things. But you have seen the last time. Mr. Bonaparte is a moral and decent man. His loyalty to France and to the revolution is beyond doubt. I think As long as we reach out to him, as long as he can, he will definitely help us."

　　 "Are you talking about the Corsican nobleman?" Mara said in a mocking tone, "A nobleman, can you get your trust like this?"

　　 "Can the nobles of Corsica be regarded as nobles?" Saint-Just said, "Furthermore, nobles are not necessarily unreliable, and civilians are not necessarily loyal to the revolution, such as..."

"Well, Louis, I know that although you are not a nobleman, there is a'virtue' in your name. But you think he can do it? Is he the wise Solomon? If he is really so smart, he will I won’t be able to solve the “four-color problem”. (Obviously, the setbacks on the “four-color problem” still make Mara a little bit worried) The solution may not be in his place, I also have a solution here!

Saint Just heard Mala’s use of the word "Germany" in his name and wanted to argue with him immediately, but when he heard that he claimed that there was a way, he suppressed his anger. I asked, "What can you do?"

　　Mara rolled her eyes at Saint Just~www.readwn.com~ but ignored him. Mara is very ugly, he also knows that he is ugly. Like most other ugly people, he hates the handsome guys most, not to mention that St Just is almost as handsome as this. The guy who violated the laws of nature naturally made Mara even more angry when he looked at it.

　　 "Mr. Mara, what do you think? Let's discuss it together." Robespierre said.

　　Mara can give Saint Just a look, but he cannot treat Robespierre like that. So he opened his mouth and said: "Lafayette is a hypocrite, and a coward! We just broke his conspiracy, he didn't have the guts to do so..."

Speaking of this, Mala night laughed like an owl: "Hehehe, maybe, in order to prove his innocence, this hypocrite will try to work with us to avoid war. Mr. Robespierre, do For this kind of thing, my newspaper has limited effect. You'd better publish some articles like this yourself. Believe me, it will work. What I am best at is dealing with hypocrites."

　　……

　　 After the meeting, Mara left quickly, and Saint Just said goodbye to Robespierre. Robespierre saw that Saint Just's mood seemed not too high. He said to him: "Louis, this man Mara is like this, his body is full of thorns. Whoever he talks to can make people half to death. But don't take him too seriously, his ability is still good , And he is very loyal to the revolution, and he is also clean and self-disciplined. With more contact, you will know that Mara is actually a good person."

　　 "Mr. Robespierre," Saint-Just said, "I don't think about Mara just because of his attitude. I'm just thinking, does his method really work?"
