On September 5, 1869, with the fall of the territory of eastern France, there was a panic of public opinion in France. Many French people pointed the finger at Napoleon III and the French government. Naturally, Napoleon III would not be charged, so the prime minister of the French government. Olivier became the target of thousands of accusations.

The failure of the first war had immediate political impact, the government of the French Prime Minister Emile Olivier collapsed, and on September 10, after Napoleon III nominated the French parliament, Charles Cousin Montauban formed a new French cabinet. government.

This person is 74 years old and belongs to the main battle camp of Queen Eugenie.

The newly formed cabinet government members have not yet breathed a sigh of relief, but the war in eastern France is even more urgent, because Prussia has brought a bigger tsunami of war this time.

On September 13, 1869, the Prussian First Army suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the French province of Namur in the east. The war in the French province of Namur was in danger. If it could not stop the Prussian attack, it would probably be After taking the province of Namur you will step into Sedan, France, if that is the case, it will be a huge blow for France, because the province of Namur was taken from Belgium, and Sedan is It is an inherent territory of France, and the nature of the two is different.

Moreover, the defensive fronts of Lorraine and Alsace in the south have lost Lorraine, and Alsace seems to be unable to keep it for long. Under the circumstances, Napoleon III already knew that he could no longer avoid it.

So, on September 15, 1869, Napoleon III, the emperor of France and the French commander-in-chief, and the nearly 13-year-old Crown Prince Eugene Louis Jean Joseph left Paris for the front line in eastern France to command the army.

At this time, Empress Eugenie took control of Paris when Emperor Napoleon III was the commander-in-chief of the army. At the same time, the French government resumed the law adopted during the war of 1859, and Empress Eugenie served as the Queen Regent of France for the third time.

After the news spread to Europe in France, different countries had different views. But one thing is the same, that is, it can be seen that France is finally struggling in the Franco-Prussian War, and it is not as easy as the former Prime Minister Olivier who has fallen from power.

......

When the changes in Paris spread to London, Queen Victoria's face changed greatly.

At Windsor and Buckingham Palace in 1856, her one-time husband, Prince Albert, joined Yang Qingguo, Napoleon III and his wife, and the couple most impressed Queen Victoria was that they kept the hosts on the British side fascinated by their conversation.

In particular, Napoleon III's straightforwardness and determination also convinced Empress Eugenie's initiative and elegant demeanor.

The then 37-year-old Queen Victoria took over a deep friendship with 30-year-old Eugenie, and the official meeting this time changed some of the Queen's prejudices about Napoleon III and France.

It contributed to the thawing of many difficulties between Britain and France at the end of the Crimean War.

And it was after that time that she became interested in Eugenie. In the past ten years, Eugenie has carried out two regents, both after Napoleon III left Paris. This is an ambitious woman who is not willing to hide in Woman behind man.

At this time, Napoleon III was on the front line, and Eugenie was behind the scenes. Is this really suitable for France?

Queen Victoria didn't know what the outcome would be, but she did know that it would lead to chaos in the ruling power in France.

as predicted.

Since Napoleon III came to the front line, the Paris government under the regency of Queen Eugenie was out of the political need to maintain its own rule. After Eugenie was unable to forcefully stop the Paris nobles, Queen Eugenie had to accept their demands and was coerced by these Paris nobles to intervene on the front line again and again. Commander's combat deployment. The purpose of preventing the front-line troops from retreating deep into the war zone is to protect the interests of the great nobles in the front-line border areas, and the public and private use of public weapons has seriously delayed the actions of the French army.

The final result was that the French Emperor Napoleon III, who was in command of the front line, was ridiculously only able to obey the command of Paris, thus making a big mistake of his own suffering for the future.

On September 18, 1869, the Legion of Laiyin, the main force commanded by Napoleon III, was re-established separately. At first, the Legion of Laiyin had ordered to retreat to the barracks of the Legion of Summer in the strategic hinterland in the middle of the country.

After the news came out from nowhere, it shocked the whole Paris, and many people were angry again. Napoleon III actually chose to retreat?

Abandoned east to territory?

How is this possible?

Many people, especially those who like the republic but don't like the royal family, are scrambling around for this reason, scrambling and running, and calling on the royal family to apologize on the streets of Paris.

Many Parisians with territorial interests in the east were also very dissatisfied with Napoleon III's abandonment of the east and caused his own losses. Under this emotion, the pressure was almost all on the Paris government. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

As a result, the Paris government composed of Eugenie and the great aristocrats, who was under attack, had to admit that if the army had withdrawn, many vested interests in the capital who had lost the interests of the east would make trouble or even rebel. The consequences were very serious, so the situation quickly changed They were transferred to Napoleon III in the front in a more serious way, causing great passiveness on the front line. The advance could not handle Prussia. Go back, many people in Paris were unhappy, so Napoleon III commanded. The Legion of Reine was in a dilemma. In this case, retreating should not be an option for Napoleon III.

Don't retreat after being beaten?

After the "farce" of the front lines in eastern France and Paris was spread to various countries, people couldn't help laughing.

Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Disraeli looked at each other and finally sighed.

Queen Victoria: "French Emperor Napoleon III is cocooning himself"

Disraeli also sighed: "It seems that in this Franco-Prussian war, Prussia really has the upper hand. It was originally evenly matched. Perhaps, it will be beyond everyone's expectations."

After Queen Victoria frowned, she suddenly asked, "Is there any change in the countries around Fapu?"

Disraeli was very curious about this and said: "Not yet, but the Netherlands seems to have been interacting frequently with the Swedish and Danish military recently, and it seems that something is brewing, but there should be no big plans, and it will never intervene in the Franco-Prussian war. Bar"

The speaker is unintentional, listening intentionally.

Queen Victoria's expression changed drastically.

"Not sure, people are really ready to participate in the intervention."

After speaking, without waiting for Disraeli's suspicious look, he ordered: "Immediately ask the MI5 people to focus on the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, while watching the French and French. I think that this time the French The war may soon take a sharp turn.”
