章 744: Chapter 7, The Paris Commune

On April 15, 1882, the same day that an international conference was convened, several French Revolutionary Organizations jointly initiated an uprising, unanimously electing the socialist Blanqui as their leader.

The Rebel Army seized the police stations, captured the City Defense Military Arsenal, took control of the embassy district, and swept through the majority of Paris.

The flames of war reached the Palace of Versailles, and Napoleon IV, together with the Palace Guard, fled Paris overnight, remotely directing the still loyal troops to suppress the rebellion.

Upon receiving this news, Franz was completely shocked. When he came to, his first reaction was: When did the Revolutionary Party become so powerful? Is the French government made of paper?

No one could answer this question. Like previous Parisian revolutions, once the first shot was successful, it could quickly sweep across the entire city.
