Chapter 254: Time and Space Vortex: The Downfall of the Orleans Dynasty

France, Paris...

October in Paris should have been the most romantic season of the year, but an unprecedented economic crisis has swept across France.

First, BNP Paribas announced the suspension of business, and then the First Bank of France, although it said it was operating normally, the news that followed made the entire market seem to have experienced a cold winter.

Bank of Paribas lost 500 million francs in the Chinese stock market, equivalent to 20 million pounds.

(In gold terms, the pound to franc ratio is one to twenty-five)

This amount is equivalent to 120 million Chinese dollars, which is the profit of BNP Paribas for at least four to five years. (The entire French finance is actually lending)

The losses of the First Bank of France were even worse, with direct losses of more than one billion francs, equivalent to 40 million pounds and 240 million Chinese dollars.

If the money is lost in the French financial market, then forget it. At most, it is an internal division of wealth. But if it flows overseas, it will be difficult to get the money back.

After the incident, France urgently summoned the Han minister and issued a serious protest, questioning the suspicion of financial robbery by the Han state.

The Han minister said that everything was market behavior, and said that Han itself also suffered heavy losses.

He also presented so-called evidence and even accused French financiers of trying to short the Han stock market, but was eventually counterattacked by the market.

Then there is the so-called pile of evidence. Looking at this evidence, the French themselves are confused and do not understand whether it is true or false.

And soon, France had no chance to cause trouble to Han, because the lovely Paris citizens made trouble again and again.

(France needs freedom, damn Louis Philippe!!)

(Burn, let everything burn!!)

(go to hell!!)

(All my money was robbed by the shameless Orleans Dynasty and the Han people...)

(Louis Philippe should be sent to the guillotine like the last Louis!!)

First, there was a campaign against Louis Philippe and even the Kingdom of France, followed closely by riots in the streets.

"Go back, go back quickly!!"

A group of French soldiers armed with rifles stopped the Parisians.

"You bastards, you are supported by French taxes, and now you are pointing your guns at us, at your sponsors, you bastards..."

"The tyrant Louis Philippe used the weapons in your hands to suppress your brothers and sisters, but you are willing to be his slaves!!"

"If you are French, get out of the way, if you are not French, shoot!!"

The leader, a young French man named Vitlin, stood at the front of the team without fear, looking with sharp eyes at the soldiers holding guns to block them.

The soldiers on the opposite side were a little hesitant. After all, as Wetterling said, they were all French.

"Shoot, shoot quickly!!"

The noble officer next to him looked at the hesitant soldiers, his expression changed, and he immediately shouted.

But no one seemed to have heard it, and some even simply put down their guns.

The leading noble officer had already realized that something was wrong at this time, and without hesitation, he pointed the muzzle of his revolver at the seductive bastard in front of him.

Click...

Stuck! !

While the noble officer was in a daze, Vitlin, who had saved his life on the opposite side, immediately seized the opportunity and shouted:

"Glory to France, glory to France!!"

"Glory to France, glory to France..."

When the intensive slogans started, the situation changed fundamentally.

"What the hell, I quit this job!!"

"I won't do it anymore..."

"Hang Louis Philippe!!"

Following the defection of the first soldier, a total of 500 soldiers from a guard regiment under the Paris headquarters also defected. (Small group format)

As the commander, Wetterling, as if he had seen victory, stepped forward directly to serve as the commander of the so-called Paris Independence Army. Although this so-called commander only had 520 guns and less than 3,000 rounds of ammunition under his command, But this is still great news for the current opponents of the Orleans Dynasty in Paris.

But soon, they encountered a head-on attack, because Louis Philippe sent troops into Paris.

bang bang bang...

Dense bullets were flying everywhere on the west side of Paris, and a body would fall on the ground from time to time.

"This damn tyrant, this executioner stained with the blood of Parisians!!"

Wetterling looked at the soldiers who were constantly falling to the ground on the opposite side and wearing white armbands. These were the soldiers who wanted to realize his ambitions. In less than an hour of fighting, one-third of them had been lost. If the fighting continued, all would be lost. The army was destroyed.

While Wetterling was fighting bloody battles in the West City, a heated discussion was taking place in the East City.

"No, everyone has seen the current situation. If we declare bankruptcy, we will be sent to the gallows!!"

"If the purpose of bankruptcy is to get hanged, then it is better to continue to deceive. Anyway, the current situation is so chaotic. We will directly announce the suspension of business during the chaotic period. I believe there should be no problems..."

The president of the First Bank of France is trying his best to persuade those major shareholders who want to go through bankruptcy, evade punishment, and take away the last assets.

To put it harshly, these people are planning to get rich.

We should take advantage of the current chaotic period to complete the cleanup of bank assets and strip away the most valuable ones. Finally, we will leave a bank that has become an empty shell and file for bankruptcy protection.

In the end, everything became a burden to the French.

As for them, of course they went to London with the stolen wealth. After all, the property protection there was pretty good.

But the CEO in front of him, who still had the last trace of conscience, actually wanted to persuade them to stay. What a joke.

Even if you go to the gallows, I think it's better for you to go to the gallows for everyone! !

"After the board of directors decided to fire Percy Shaq immediately and hold him accountable for the failure of the investment!!"

"Mr. Shaq, you will receive a court summons!!"

Looking at the president in front of him, the shareholder of First Bank, he wiped the cigarette ashes on his chest with a handkerchief with great disdain, and then left.

Twenty minutes later, the First Bank of France, after the Bank of Paris, announced its closure, citing chaos and business adjustments as the reason.

In fact, it is emptying out the last bit of wealth.

And this news completely swept through the Eastern District, which was still struggling to maintain order.

Countless people took to the streets to support what was happening in the West End, and even typed:

(Hang the banker, hang Louis Philippe)

With the chaos in the East District, several other places gradually became chaotic.

The Kingdom of France has reached its most dangerous moment! !

.............................................

"Trash, it's all trash!!"

"Whatever you say, it can be solved in an hour, but now, it's been three hours, and the whole of Paris is out of control!!"

"asshole……"

In the Palace of Versailles, Louis Philippe was like a furious beast, constantly insulting the incompetence of the army in front.

"Your Majesty, everything will be over, just like last time." Queen Mary walked to Louis Philippe and comforted her. Her eyes were full of worry. After all, Louis Philippe's mental state had not been good since the assassination.

"They are all trash, why does the kingdom raise such trash?!"

“Where’s Gabriel??”

Louis Philippe ignored Queen Mary's comfort and directly questioned the attendant outside.

"General Gabriel is currently presiding over the overall situation at the front." Facing Louis Philippe like this, the attendant's voice even trembled when he answered.

When Louis Philippe heard that Gabriel was on the front line, he felt a sense of security that he had never felt before. After all, although Gabriel had annoyed Louis Philippe because of his recklessness in the early days, he later discovered after being reactivated that this guy was still It's very easy to use and shows no mercy to those who resist.

It was also because of this that Gabriel was able to become the commander of Paris appointed by Louis Philippe.

"Queen, don't worry, everything will pass."

"everything will get better!!"

Louis Philippe held Queen Mary's hand and comforted her affectionately.

Queen Mary looked at her husband's state and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to meet the conditions for those people to be here. After all..."

"Stop talking, Mary, these people will never be satisfied. Once they give in this time, they will push forward and eventually devour the whole of France!!"

Louis Philippe knew what Queen Marie was going to say next, so he interrupted without hesitation.

In his opinion, this time will be the same as before, all objections will be suppressed, and no one in France can resist his orders.

Neither can God! !

Queen Mary looked at Louis Philippe who was so arbitrary at the moment. She always felt that this was their last chance. Once they gave up, it would probably bring about destruction.

…………

bang bang bang...

"Burn, burn everything!!"

"Burn all the sins away!!" "Haha..."

All over Paris there were flames and countless dust.

The sound of gunfire, laughter, and fighting filled the entire city of Paris.

"General, the Orleans Dynasty is almost over, you should not become their martyr!!"

"If you join us, general, your status and the safety of your family will be guaranteed."

"You will even wash away the reputation of executioner and become a hero of France!!"

Across from Gabriel, a lobbyist from the resistance is trying to convince him to defect.

Gabriel listened for a long time and said: "What good can I do?"

As for the man opposite, named Poti, when he heard Gabriel talk about the conditions, a hint of joy flashed across his face. After all, he was not afraid that Gabriel would ask for conditions, but he was afraid that he would refuse without asking for anything.

"If the general is willing to obey the public opinion of France and join our independent army, once successful, you will become the Minister of War. This is something Louis Philippe cannot give you..." Poty said to Gabriel in a seductive tone.

Hearing this, Gabriel's face showed interest. After all, for him, the most important thing is the benefits, or status. After all, if there is no benefit, who is willing to take this risk.

At this time, Bodi upped the ante again, "In addition, we will also wash away the shame of these years for you and clear your name!!"

As soon as these words came out, Gabriel's face visibly fluctuated. Although he called those who opposed him every day as bastards and shameless traitors, did he really not know what he was doing? ?

No, of course Gabriel understood. Not only did he understand, he did it, very thoroughly.

Now Gabriel seems like a man who wants to repent.

Once I had no choice, now I just want to be a good person.

After thinking about it, Gabriel stood up from his chair, looked at Bodie and said:

"I have decided that I will work with all French people to overthrow this shameless and evil dynasty!!"

"We will rebuild a new France!!"

“A France for all French people!!”

Bodi looked at Gabriel who was shouting emotionally to him. He suddenly understood what shamelessness meant. A butcher who had massacred hundreds of French people was now standing with the French. There was no comparison in the world. Is this something even more ridiculous? ?

Although he felt very disdainful and even a little disgusted, Bodie still extended his hand to Gabriel and then said:

"Welcome, General, you are on the side of the French and on the side of justice!!"

Gabrielle held Bodi's hand tightly and replied emotionally:

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!!"

The winds of history are blowing again! !

.........

"Rush, kill that tyrant!!"

"kill!!"

Outside the Palace of Versailles, there were rebels wearing French military uniforms everywhere. The palace alone could not hold on for much longer.

In the palace, everyone fell into an unprecedented panic.

"Merciful Virgin, merciful God, please bless us..."

Queen Mary even knelt down in front of the icon of the Virgin Mary and prayed continuously.

Louis-Philippe, who was in the palace, looked at the dense crowd outside and the rebels flying the French flag. At this moment, he truly felt the pain of Louis XVI in the past.

It was an unprecedented pain.

His dynasty is collapsing and his life is coming to an end.

Louis Philippe looked at the frightened maids and guards outside, with a carefree look in his eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Tell Gabriel that I agree to his terms, but he must protect the queen and my princes..."

"If he agrees to this, I will not commit suicide. I will die in his hands, on the guillotine like Louis XVI, to fulfill his name as a hero!!"

After saying this, Louis Philippe showed sarcasm on his face, and then continued to give instructions:

"Tell Gabriel that the Palace of Versailles cannot be harmed. It is the Kingdom of France throughout the ages and even the palace of Napoleon. It cannot be harmed. If he is still a Frenchman, he should stop all this!!"

Apparently, Louis Philippe saw the signs outside calling for the burning of Versailles.

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

The guard ran out tremblingly, almost falling down.

"Are these the only demands he has??"

Gabriel looked at the trembling guard in front of him, his old acquaintance.

"Really, His Majesty Louis didn't make any more requests. Oh, by the way, he hopes to drink a glass of wine before he dies, the bottle he treasures!!" The guard told Louis Philippe's only condition concerning himself, After finishing speaking, he looked at Gabriel with fearful eyes.

After all, this guy is really not a good person. The executioner stained with the blood of the French has now transformed into a so-called independent hero. This is really ridiculous! !

When Gabriel heard this condition, he actually couldn't bear it. After all, Louis Philippe was really good to him and gave him a title, reputation, status, and even rights.

But I betrayed him like this, and it couldn't be justified no matter what.

But the reality is that Louis Philippe must die in his hands. This is a script that has been arranged long ago. It is like an opera that has been performed to the end, and the secret cannot be revealed.

So Gabriel quickly agreed to all Louis Philippe's conditions, and even agreed to send someone to let Louis Philippe's queen and children leave France and seek refuge in the Netherlands.

"We won, we won!!"

bang bang bang...

When the people inside the Palace of Versailles surrendered, the opponents outside immediately gave out thunderous cheers.

And the gunshots that kept ringing in the sky.

The next day, Place de Ville in Paris.

There was already a huge crowd of people at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the last moment to arrive.

In the center of the square, there is a huge guillotine. The funny thing is that it is a cultural relic from the Louis XVI period, specially brought from the Paris Museum.

When thinking about the current Louis Philippe, the fate of the two Louises is so similar.

There is even a feeling of time and space coinciding.

"coming……"

"The tyrant is here!!"

When the prison car escorting Louis Philippe passed by, the whole street was whispering, and when Louis Philippe got off the prison car.

The entire square suddenly fell into a chorus of abuse.

"Fuck him!!"

"Hang him and make his head into a wine glass..."

"Let his soul have no rest!!"

Louis Philippe listened to the insults around him without any expression.

But as he passed by Gabriel, he looked at him with meaningful eyes for a long time until he was dragged to the guillotine.

"The tyrant Louis Philippe harmed France, massacred French people, and conspired to seize power..."

Gabriel on the stage was detailing Louis Philippe's crimes, even tracing back to his accession to the throne.

"In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Second French Republic, I sentence the tyrant Louis Philippe to death!!"

"Execution..."

Following the order, there was a "swish" sound, and the huge, white and shining guillotine fell. In an instant, the head of a middle-aged French man "bumped" to the ground.

"Long live, long live!!"

"Long live General Gabriel!!"

"Long live France..."

Cheers for Gabriel erupted in the square, and even shouts of hurrah were heard.

Standing in the square, Gabriel looked at the singing around him and fell into intoxication.

He felt that he was really a hero, but just when he was proud, he could always escape the look in Louis-Philippe's last look at him.

That was a look he would never forget.

With the death of Louis Philippe and the independence of Paris, various parts of France became independent one after another and quickly formed a coalition government.

The Second French Republic! !

London, outside a villa.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, your newspaper!!"
