167 Cheering Paris
"Long live the revolution!
Long live freedom!
…………”
On the Paris Revolution Square, ordinary citizens gathered spontaneously, waving the red, white and blue flags. The expression on their faces was like they were hitting medicine, cheering and singing and dancing to celebrate the many victories from the border.
The victory of defeating the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Portugal was not large in scale, and the Kingdom of Spain had no intention of retreating (the "cheerleaders" sent by the Kingdom of Portugal were subconsciously ignored by the people of Paris), so the citizens of Paris did not think they could truly defeat the terrible anti-French alliance.
However, when the news of the defeat of the anti-French coalition, led by the strongest combat power, and the Italian coalition with the strongest combat power, reached tens of thousands of people, came back, the people of Paris were in a state of excitement.
The seemingly powerful anti-French alliance was unable to even attack the great French Republic. This was based on the premise that there was a rebel Levi with superb combat power within the French Republic!
Such a great victory did not require the Jacobin National Salvation Committee to send people to call. As long as the news spreads, many celebrations spontaneously appeared among the citizens of Paris and even all the major cities controlled by the Paris Revolutionary Government.
In order to get along with the people, capitalists have generously donated money to provide free wine and drinks and cheap black bread for the celebration!
This scene gave the Paris people an illusion that the French nation has stood at the peak of the European continent!
Look at the long list of country names among the member states of the Anti-French Alliance, as long as anyone who can count them is proud of it from the bottom of their hearts.
The cohesion of the French nation has once again exploded at this moment!
Due to the particularity of the Revolutionary Army of the Salvation of the Country, the cohesion of the French nation has increased, which means that the morale of the Revolutionary Army of the Salvation of the Country will be higher and more stable!
After all, soldiers in the revolutionary army of the country will also receive letters from their families and know good news in various senses.
The Paris Revolutionary Government led by Robert Spear naturally would not miss this opportunity and began to negotiate with the suppressed domestic financial capital community with a large amount of confiscated fixed production.
This means that Robert Spear does not intend to continue to use the Revolutionary Court to target financial capitalists!
The reason is very simple. It’s too expensive to expand the army and fight!
The French people below don’t know how bad the finances of the revolutionary government are today. Even if they have confiscated many properties, in addition to cash, all the goods need to be cashed out!
Now the French Republic has fought a civil war for several years, and some anti-aggression wars will be joined during this period. The domestic aristocrats have been completely defeated and the bourgeoisie has suffered heavy losses. The international community has already begun to implement trade blockade and political isolation policies on the French Republic.
This leads to a very realistic problem. It is becoming increasingly difficult to cash out non-cash goods confiscated by the French Revolutionary Government.
In this era, the nobles themselves represent rich people. The aristocrats are gone, and half of the rich people are directly missing. The remaining rich people in the capital world are frightened by the revolutionary courts. Many people either run away or start secretly transferring assets abroad, and they dare not buy confiscated goods auctioned by the French Revolutionary Government.
In addition to arable land, fixed properties have been falling again and again, including real estate.
The most valuable thing during the war is the house. If the battlefield spreads to the vicinity of one day, and the house is not destroyed after the war, it will be really favored by God...
Therefore, except for the fact that the property prices in Paris did not dive (Paris is the capital and is considered to be the safest, and a large number of new politicians were born here, and they also have the money to buy houses and become real estate buyers), there is no place in other cities that does not reduce the price.
No one took over these fixed assets, so the French Revolutionary Government naturally recovered less and less funds. At this time, Robert Spear could only bow to the financial capital world!
The foreign financial capital industry does not have the courage to try the guns of the anti-French alliance, so the financial capital industry that Robert Spear cooperates with can only choose in China.
Fortunately, Robert Spear had not taken ruthless measures against the banking industry before, and left many financial capitalists in Paris, who wanted to run away but dared not escape...
Robert Spear personally brought people to the door to offer generous political conditions, especially the legal protection treaty for the financial capital industry, which would be written into the constitution and would be given up on the treatment, and the financial capitalists in Paris realized that the National Salvation Committee had finally admitted defeat!
The financial spring they were terrified and waiting for has arrived!
In fact, Paris financial capitalists didn’t have much cash at this time. Paris rioted and changed governments back and forth, and the losses of these rich people were not low. It was not that they were robbed, but mainly because many political investments were losing money...
But who says that without cash, you will be "no money"?
Those fixed assets in the hands of the revolutionary government, except for auction cash, seem to have no other way to recover funds, but when it comes to financial capitalists, it is completely different. After all, people in this era do not know much about what the "leverage effect" in the financial world is!
Robert Spear has a high political IQ and is quite good at winning people's hearts. However, his knowledge in finance and economics is just a little better than that of ordinary people. He has no idea how heavy the burden would be on the French revolutionary government after engaging in a friendly and win-win cooperation model with those financial capitalists!
However, Robert Spear at least achieved his goal and could continue to maintain the consumption of expansion training of the revolutionary army in the country-salvation, as well as the next full-scale war against the rebels of Levi!
Amid the cheers of Paris, Li Wei on the other side was frowning.
In Li Wei's eyes, the anti-French alliance was originally a kind of help, but he never expected that this "help" helped the French revolutionary government further unite the public opinion and made the morale of the revolutionary army save the country even higher!
Li Wei's General Administration of Military Information will know this kind of news by just a little inquiry. Under the rule of the French Revolutionary Government, both in the military and in the civilians, they have become unwavering in the final victory of the revolution.
The momentum that Li Wei finally made many French people wonder whether the revolution will achieve final victory, and was destroyed by the anti-French alliance...
At this time, Li Wei finally no longer had expectations for the anti-French alliance. In addition to the British who had never landed, the entire anti-French alliance was almost beaten up by the French revolutionary government!
Of course, not all news is bad.
