Fox of France

Chapter 209: , Napoleon’s speech

Napoleon stepped on the British and Prussian flags, and under the **** of the guards, with his head held up, he stepped into the Parliament building like a proud rooster. When he walked into the National Assembly Hall, all the MPs stood up and applauded him. Of course, some people clapped and said in a low voice: "Isn't this like Caesar walking into the Senate?"

"Unfortunately, there is not a Brustu among us." Someone lowered his voice and said.

But no matter how some people vent in their mouths or hate in their hearts, the new Caesar has already stepped onto the podium in strides. Unlike the historical Caesars, the new Caesar has already made up his mind to enter the Senate. Ah, no, it should be that as long as you enter the National Assembly, you must bring an army that can suppress the resistance of all members of the entire National Assembly.

Napoleon stepped onto the podium and looked down at the audience, then took out the prepared speech, glanced at it again, and said:

"Gentlemen, today I bring you the news of victory. Our army, in Italy, in Verdun, in Rhine, in Hanover, in Berlin, is constantly hitting the reactionary feudal rulers with heavy blows, those The shameful banner of the aggressor is now being abandoned by our brave soldiers in the Senate — ah, it should be on the steps of the National Assembly. This is the proof of our great victory.

Our victory forced those feudal princes to admit that the freedom and independence of France is stronger than that of the Alps, and they cannot be shaken by parasites and clowns! In front of our powerful army, those who used to speak wildly to France, threatened to use bayonets to send the so-called "Orthodox Kings" back to continue to rule us, squeeze us, they even said that they would slaughter our people and bloodbath Paris A glorious city. But now? With chains around their necks and the keys of their city in their hands, they bowed their heads and confessed to France.

Members and gentlemen, we can cheer, because the freedom and independence of France have been guaranteed, and the long-awaited peaceful life of the French people is coming! "

Whether they were supporting Napoleon or ostensibly supporting Napoleon, the parliamentarians clapped enthusiastically, especially when someone discovered that the Minister of Public Security Fouché had also come to the meeting, and they applauded while watching with gloomy eyes. When the others, they applauded more intensely. But a very serious question arose immediately, that is: when can we stop applauding? Everyone applauds and looks at the people next to them. In short, everyone is determined not to be the first one. People who stop applauding.

This continued applause even made Napoleon a little uncomfortable, and he had to make a gesture to stop them from clapping.

After the applause finally subsided, Napoleon continued:

"Gentlemen, quelling the domestic rebellion and defeating the intervention forces abroad. This is not the end of the French Revolution, but the beginning of the French Revolution, and even the first step of the French Revolution.

So, gentlemen, what is the next step for France?

To answer this question, we must first ask a question: that is, why did the French people want to make a revolution?

I know that some friends want to say, because we want freedom, democracy, equality and many other things. These statements are correct, but I want to say that this is not the most fundamental thing, so what is the most fundamental thing? "

Napoleon stopped. He looked down at the members of Parliament below, and replied after a while:

"The most fundamental thing is that the French people want to win a prosperous and happy life! Their right to a beautiful and prosperous life can no longer be trampled by the greedy feudal rulers.

In 1792, just before the Prussian Marshal of Brunswick made the arrogant, shameful, and "bloodbath Paris" declaration, a maid in my house, Aunt Sophie, once told us like this He complained:'Before the revolution, we had no bread to eat; after the revolution, we still had no bread to eat-isn't the revolution a white leather? ’

This is the Aunt Sufi who raised such a question. When the invading army of Braunschweig approached Verdun, she resolutely sent her husband and two sons into the volunteer army. This is them. Valmy, with fearless courage and overwhelming power, defeated the enemy of the revolution, saved France, and saved the revolution. At that time, as an ordinary soldier, I also fought side by side braving the enemy's artillery with them. This was the most glorious moment in my life.

Since the French people destroyed the Bastille which symbolizes feudal despotism in 1789, we have been under siege by the reactionaries at home and abroad. The situation of the revolution is precarious. I don’t know how many times it was like a candle in the wind. . But it was those unknown warriors who had no bread to eat in the past and still do not have bread to eat. They used their indomitable struggle, with their blood and lives, time and time again, at the most critical moment, to save France and the revolution. !

Gentlemen, I am convinced that although their names are unknown, their career will be immortal! "

The councillors applauded again.

When the applause subsided, Napoleon continued:

"Gentlemen, why are these unsung heroes willing to use their blood and life to defend the revolution when there was no bread to eat before the revolution, and there was no bread to eat after the revolution? This is because they know that before the revolution Eating without bread is totally different from eating without bread after the revolution. There was no bread to eat before the revolution, because the bread that should have belonged to the people was looted by those feudal rulers. There was no bread during the revolution. That's because we have to eat frugally to resist the counterattacks of domestic and foreign reactionaries. As long as we defeat them, our people and future generations will be able to eat bread.

Gentlemen, please thank our people! The people of France are the greatest people and the most reasonable people in the world. They can understand these, can understand the temporary difficulties in the revolution, and are willing to endure the pain that ordinary people can't bear. Therefore, although they have not been able to eat full bread after the revolution, they are still willing to defend the motherland and the revolution with their blood and life.

Gentlemen, the people of France are the greatest heroes of the French revolution. I suggest that we should all stand up, salute them, and cheer them-long live the people! "

The MPs hurriedly got up and cheered.

"Gentlemen, now the reactionaries at home and abroad have been overthrown, and the situation of the revolution has never been brighter. Now is the time for us to honor the promises we made before the revolution to our people.

We once solemnly promised our people that they will have the right to be free from want and fear, and they will have a happy and prosperous life. Now is the time for us to fulfill this promise.

If today, nine years after the revolution of 1789, when this reactionary group has been overthrown and is unable to pose a direct threat to France’s security for the time being, we will not be able to fulfill our promise and let Our people complained, "Is the revolution a white revolution?", not only can we not be able to explain to the people of France, but also to the people of the world. Our revolutionary government is a feudal government. I and everyone here It's all Louis XVI!

Gentlemen, I have a feeling that our work will be recorded in the annals of human history, because it points the way for freedom-loving people all over the world.

Our revolutionary work is not over yet, the revolutionary movement is still moving forward, and we must continue to work hard. Those foreign feudal princes and our domestic reactionaries will never be reconciled to their failure, and they will definitely make the final struggle when they feel they have a chance. They will also engage in destruction and trouble in various ways, and they will try to restore the feudal dictatorship in France every day. This is inevitable and unquestionable. We must not relax our vigilance.

Our democratic system is a powerful weapon that guarantees the victory of the revolution and opposes the restoration conspiracy of internal and external enemies. We must firmly grasp this weapon. Internationally, we must unite with all countries and people that love peace and freedom, so that our struggle to guarantee the victory of the people's revolution and oppose the restoration conspiracy of domestic and foreign enemies will not be isolated. As long as we persist in democracy and unite with international friends, we will be invincible forever.

Gentlemen, the work of restoring and developing the national economy is before us. There are some difficulties before us, and they are many, but we are sure that all difficulties will be overcome by the heroic struggle of the entire French people. The people of France already have extremely rich experience in overcoming difficulties. If we can survive the long and extremely difficult years and defeat the powerful internal and external reactionaries, why can't we build a prosperous country after victory? As long as we are united ~ www.readwn.com ~ as long as we persist in democracy and get rid of the shackles of feudalism, we can quickly win victory on the economic front.

Gentlemen, our national defense will be consolidated, and foreign interveners will not be allowed to invade our country again. On the basis of the heroic and tested French army, our armed forces must be preserved and developed. We will not only have a strong army, but also a strong navy.

Let the internal and external reactionaries tremble in front of us, let them say that we can't do this, that's all, the indomitable efforts of the French people will surely achieve their goals.

Long live the people of France! "

In the thunderous applause, Napoleon then took out his long-prepared political reform plan, and submitted it to Congress for discussion and consideration. The "Science Pravda" published the full text of Napoleon's speech, as well as his political reform and people's livelihood plan. In this plan, Napoleon promised to the entire French people that he would lead the French people to eradicate poverty and deprivation, just like an enemy's army.

The cry of "Long live General Bonaparte" resounded once again in the streets of Paris.
