Fox of France

v1 Chapter 125: , Robespierre's counterattack

This series of blows seemed to make Robespierre faint. In order to protest against the "National Salvation Committee" against him, he actually said that the illness would no longer participate in the "National Salvation Committee" meetings, and his important supporter, Saint Just once again, because the anti-French alliance forces were gathering in the north, and there was a tendency to attack France, Just was sent to the northern warlord. In this way, in the "National Salvation Committee", the only people loyal to Robespierre are Kudong. In the eyes of many people, this is completely Robespierre's madness, and he is not far from extinction.

However, those who really know Robespierre know that this person will never give in easily. He must be planning a terrible counterattack.

Robespierre was not ill. Everyone noticed that during the day, he smiled and appeared in various slums, talking and laughing with the poor people, inquiring, understanding their living conditions, and spending time with them. In the evening, he returned to his small attic, wrote something, and then had someone mail a letter to someone, or met some people who came to visit him secretly.

Foucher should have been staring at Robespierre, watching his every move, if so, he would definitely be able to spot a clue in advance. And see through Robespierre's plan. However, at this most terrible moment, something went wrong in Fouché's home.

Fouché’s only six-year-old daughter is sick, and it may be pneumonia.

In this era, pneumonia is an extremely terrifying killer, and the lives it takes are even far more than Robespierre's guillotine.

No matter what kind of irony and criticism the chameleon Fouché would be given by people in later generations-for example, Zweig once described Fouché as "a person without blood, tears and heart." But even Zweig admitted that Fouché was very A wife is a good husband and a good father to the children.

Fouché has been loyal to his wife all his life, although his wife is just a "poor, humble, unbeautiful, short" commoner girl. After he became famous, many people with status like him often have countless mistresses. They even exchange mistresses with each other, just like Paul Ballas later on. But Fouché, who has been in a high position for a long time, has never done anything in this regard.

Fouché also carefully isolated his children behind various political storms and kept these things from touching them. He is gloomy and majestic outside, and you never see Fouché's face with a smile while working. One look in his eyes and one action can scare countless people, and make countless people sleepless at night because of guessing the possible meaning of his eyes.

However, even in the most dangerous and difficult moments, as soon as you return home, the glacier-like poker face that has not melted for ten thousand years will immediately disappear and become the warmest in the world. Smile.

He would hold the children in his arms and rub their little faces with their bearded faces, so that they could giggle because of itching; he would call them "little beloved", "be careful", and accompany them. They play all kinds of the most childish games and enjoy it. He was never at home and mentioned outside matters to his family. But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he immediately turned back into that insidious, vicious, fickle and terrifying secret police chief.

His daughter’s illness interfered with Fouché. His reason told him that he could not relax at this time; his knowledge told him that pneumonia might be infected and he should stay away from her; but emotions and knowledge also told him that his daughter It won't last long, maybe soon, he will prepare a small coffin for her.

"Maybe there won't be too drastic changes." Fouché said to himself. He knew that this was actually self-deception, but, for the first and only time in his life, he tolerated his irrational behavior.

Fouché gave more of the related matters to others, squeezing out his time so as to accompany his daughter who is about to die soon. In order to avoid infection, he pushed his wife and other children aside and took care of his daughter by himself. The people who succeeded him were hard to beat in terms of ability, so these actions by Robespierre failed to arouse their vigilance.

During this period of time, Robespierre met with many people in the Jacobin Club. He told them that if he collapsed, the forces previously oppressed by Jacobin, those people would be The Lisuo faction and even the Dandong faction will counterattack. At that time, will they still let go of those people in the Jacobin Club?

"The blood has flowed out, the head has rolled off, the hatred has been deep-seed, each of you has blood in your hands, do you really think you can change the door at this time? If I fail, their fate in the past will definitely be Reappear on you!"

These terrible words frightened those people. They trembled, knelt on the ground and shed tears, confessed to Robespierre, and cursed the viper called Fouché in the most vicious language that tempted them to commit crimes.

A few days later, at another gathering of the Jacobin Club, the former chairman Robespierre suddenly appeared in the gathering. Then a member told everyone that he wanted to expose a poisonous snake to everyone, hoping that everyone could recognize the true face of this poisonous snake.

The name of this poisonous snake is naturally called "Joseph Fouché". This man has made a lot of false accusations and accused Fouché, including Fouché and a large number of men and women in an open meeting, including Fouché. There are a lot of illegitimate children, including the story that Fouxie and his illegitimate daughter can't help but tell-I don't want to think that even if Fouxie has an illegitimate daughter, considering Fouxie's age, that daughter can be how old.

Before the shocked Fouché had time to refute, Robespierre followed. He said that a scum like Fouché actually got into the Jacobin Club. This is really a shame to the Jacobin Club. He suggested that everyone vote immediately to expel this morally corrupt hypocrite and viper from the Jacobin Club.

So the Jacobin Club immediately voted. The result of the vote was that Robespierre's faction overwhelmingly expelled the current chairman, Joseph Fouché, from the club.

It was a thunderous blow. The advantage that Fouché had gained in his previous plan was completely lost almost at this moment. The guillotine, which had been far away from him, seemed to be not far away again. Considering that Robespierre also chopped off Demoulin’s wife's head the day before Demoulin’s head was chopped off, and Robespierre was a witness when Demoulin and his wife were married, And the godfather of their daughter. Fouché couldn't imagine what the result would be if he was pushed to the guillotine, his wife, and his children.

After regaining control of the Jacobin Club, those committee members who originally saw Robespierre seem to lose power and had their own opinions, went to visit Robespierre one by one and asked him Repent and ask him for forgiveness.

Some people even simply proposed that Robespierre is worthy of the world, and the world is incomparable in the past and the present. It should be carried into Dick Tuduo (a non-permanent governor in the ancient Roman Republic, and also translated as a poisonous officer. When the country is in a state of emergency) , Nominated by the Senate, and served by the consul, the power of the poisonous vegetable officer surpasses and overrides everything, including all powers such as administration, military, legislation, justice, culture and education.) to ensure democracy and freedom in France . Of course, this suggestion was rejected by Robespierre. But at the time, Robespierre was almost a Dick push.

Foucher has now returned to his past life again. Although his report had been approved by the National Salvation Committee before that (Robespierre was pretending to be ill at that time), he was expelled from the Jacobin Club. His situation became dangerous again. Now he can no longer accompany his dying daughter at home. While he was hiding in Tibet, his six-year-old daughter died of pneumonia. When the child was buried in a coffin, his father was not with her.

Fouché has never really hated a person like he does now. Before and after, he had cut off his head and didn't know how much, but for him it was just a routine, and he had no hatred for those people. But now, he has the only real enemy in his life.

Robespierre did not stop pursuing those "traitors" because of the current victory. He also clearly realized how many people hated him; and he knew clearly that his foundation was not stable. He didn't believe anyone else, including those who knelt at his feet and confessed to him with tears—whether it was from the Jacobin Club or from the National Salvation Committee. He knows that if he reveals any flaws, these people will definitely betray him again-as long as a person has been a traitor once, he cannot be expected not to be a traitor a second time!

Therefore, Robespierre needs a truly reliable base disk. Now, Robespierre feels that the only ones that can become his basic disc are those without trousers.

As a result, Robespierre controlled the National Assembly and passed more extreme decrees that were more beneficial to the trousers. He strictly restricts prices, and does not hesitate to disrupt the operation of the entire economy. Some laws and regulations may not even be mentioned by Ebel.

These laws, economically speaking, are often sloppy, and they are very harmful to the interests of all "decent people." Robespierre also knows that his measures will only make those in the National Assembly and even the Jacobin Club hate him more. But these people are already unreliable, so even if he cares about them, will they be loyal to him? What he really worries about is whether the pantsless guys really trust him because of this, have they really forgotten how he chopped off the heads of Ebel and others who represent the pantsless guys?

"You have betrayed Robespierre once. Robespierre will never believe you again. Otherwise, he won't be like this to please those without trousers. The reason why he hasn't cut off your heads, then It’s because he is not sure if the trousers-less guys really continue to stand on his side as before. But I want to tell you that people are forgetful, especially when they are bought by materials. The trousers-less guys just stand. On his side, you, and you will definitely follow Dandong's old path!" Faucher said in the face of Congressman Paul Ballas.

"But everyone is too scared to do anything." Ballas replied.

"Then we will find a way to make them more fearful. This fear will definitely make people act." Fouché whispered, and at the same time showed a vicious smile like a jackal, "Mr. Ballas, you Do you have a very reliable hand, like Charlotte Cordy?"

"Do you want to assassinate Robespierre?" Ballas said in horror.

"No, I don't want to adopt such a method. Even if such a method is successful, the consequences are too unpredictable." Fouché shook his head. Kodai assassinated Mara, but it could not prevent the emergence of the reign of terror. Even, in a sense, her actions added a martyr to Jacobin and made the Jacobin's rule more stable.

"Then what do you want to do?" Ballas asked.

"Find someone to assassinate Kudong. The assassination must be carried out in a crowded place, the action must fail, and the failed person must commit suicide." Foucher said.

Ballas was silent, and when Fouché said this, he naturally understood what Fouché meant. The assassination was unsuccessful, so it would not trigger a stormy reaction, but the assassination was done in broad daylight. Once the assassination failed, the assassin immediately committed suicide. It is impossible not to investigate such a thing. As long as an investigation is conducted, everyone from the trousers to the congressmen will be at risk, and there will be many gaps to drill.

At this time, you only need to say to others in the past, "The Public Security Committee is already investigating you, and you will be on the list of the next group of people arrested." This is enough to make many people go to talk to Robles for their lives. Peel desperately.

"You can go find Talien, he might recognize such a person." Ballas said.

Talien was born at the bottom, and as far as his origin is concerned, he is an out-and-out trousers. He was originally a member of the Ebel faction. When Robespierre purged the Ebel faction, he was serving as a special commissioner in the Bordeaux area ~lightnovelpub.net~After Ebel and others were killed, he was recalled. Robespierre accused him of killing innocent people in Bordeaux and embezzling public funds, and expelled him from the Jacobin Club. If there are no other changes, his next step must be to go to the guillotine. But at this time, Foucher was elected chairman of the Jacobin Club, disrupting Robespierre's rhythm, so Talien survived.

Before the revolution, Talien had contacts with some low-level criminal gangs. He was Ebel's confidant. He would definitely find someone loyal to Ebel and hated Robespierre and others. It is indeed better to find him for this kind of thing.
