Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 29: Paris (5)

After the commotion at the beginning, in the next three days, Paris became unexpectedly calm.

It seems that the citizens of Paris have accepted the fact that they have been abandoned.

Although somewhat reluctant, they adapted to this rapidly changing world at an astonishing speed.

This is the Parisian, whose bones are full of the restraint and pride of the citizens of the big cities, but when the living environment changes, they will immediately show an unparalleled smoothness and market share.

This may also be a survival instinct of the French nation, after all, they have been ruled more than once by the barbaric foreigners they despise.

What the Germans could not understand was that while the German team began to set up a tight encirclement around Paris, life in Paris returned to the prosperity level before the war overnight.

Since he has declared himself an undefended city, he no longer has to worry about being attacked by the Germans. Since he will soon be occupied and managed by Germany, there is no reason to restrain himself according to wartime standards.

The resentment caused by the ruthless abandonment of his own government, plus the unwillingness of becoming a resident of a world-class metropolis into the residents of the occupied territories, and with a little contempt for those brutal and rude Germans, even the slightest difference is no different. With the dead dog mentality of breaking the bowl, Paris began to indulge himself completely.

The lighting control and curfew have been lifted for more than a month, and the citizens of Paris lighted up the electric lights in all rooms like children. On that day, the entire Paris city was starry and flickering throughout the night, becoming a real city that never sleeps.

The curfew has been lifted, and the rich and luxurious nightlife in Paris has reawakened with the city.

The bars and restaurants have been closed for one month after the start of the night, the lights at the nightclubs and the entrance of the Jiyuan have begun to flash again, and the theaters and concert halls have resumed performances, even the movie theaters that can only play some news films during this time That evening, the screening of those feature films began to resume, and although they were only old films, the audience was still eager.

On this night, the citizens of Paris who had been sullen for more than a month due to the **** war finally gained a complete liberation and satisfaction.

The following morning, the streets of Paris restored the quietness of the past. Residents went to work by tram and subway just like every morning in the past. Shops and various service industries continued to open for business. Vendors in the market were still selling. The hustle and bustle of the goods they stockpiled makes people almost forget the war.

The citizens of Paris try their best to keep their pace of life as they are.

Most of the companies and enterprises in Paris have stopped running, but these employees and workers are still very busy, they may not even know what they are doing, but if there is work on hand to do If you don’t think about anything else, although they know that everything is an illusion of emptiness, it can give them a sense of security.

The Parisians are waiting for the German team to enter the city. In the hearts of all Paris citizens, this is a destiny. Now it is only a matter of time.

Citizens who fled from the city back to the city brought news of the German presence outside Paris, which meant that the Germans had arrived, and a German tank might appear at the corner of the street in the next minute.

The citizens of Paris are waiting for this moment with contradictory psychology, and there is a trace of anticipation in fear, looking forward to the end of this nightmare as soon as possible. At least a large part of the citizens think so, as long as Germany takes the city, then Paris will It has nothing to do with this war.

How Paris will develop in the future is not a matter for them to consider, and the days have to go on, even if they start to speak German tomorrow.

The citizens of Paris covered up their uneasy mood with a calm and meaningless look, and no one found that the innumerable dark tide behind the peace and tranquility on the surface of Paris was slowly surging.

Three days have passed, but the moment the Parisians were expecting did not arrive, which made the shrewd Parisians feel a little puzzled.

Why didn't the Germans enter the city? Why do they not occupy the capital as soon as possible and get this rare honor?

What prevented them, or did the Germans have another plan, is there any conspiracy in the Germans?

The illogical practice of the German ** team has caused countless doubts in the hearts of Parisian citizens, and various rumours have been introduced as the doubts increase.

After three days of calm, the city of Paris began to stir up again. Various internal news emerged from various dark corners like mushrooms. The Parisians began to be impatient with the present embarrassing situation.

"The Germans are preparing to enter the city. They are relatively poor and it takes a long time to make dresses."

This is really a stupid speculation, but it is ironic that it is the most truthful one among all street rumors.

"The Germans are making plans. They are going to bring all Parisians to Germany to do their coolies, otherwise why would they spend so much effort to besiege Paris, in fact, to prevent any Parisian from escaping."

Imaginative rumors, and more logical, I really did not know that it came out of the brain of that genius.

"The Germans are going to blow up Paris, they are going to kill us, these barbaric Germans are inhumane, just like what they did to Rotterdam, they destroyed the whole city, and my relatives there escaped After a life, the Germans burned there and killed millions."

This is the scare of **naked threats, it sounds really scary, but people think that this is too ridiculous after thinking about it, except that you can scare the ignorant women and children, not many people will really believe and come up with it. The guy with this rumor must have done work like a tabloid reporter.

"The Germans are negotiating with the French government. France has been defeated. The French government is trying to use Paris as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Germans, so the German talents did not enter Paris. The government abandoned us, just like all capitalist governments for their benefit. Abandoning us laborers, we can't just be traded by them as commodities. We must unite to fight against these dirty capitalist politicians and fight for our temptation.

We must take up arms and defend our homeland and dignity, just like the Paris Commune. We must fight against the aggressors to the end. We will never accept the fascist rule of the German Nazis. The Parisian citizens tempted to stand up and fight, Victory belongs to the people. "

This one. . . . This is a naked incitement, and it sounds very familiar. It might be more perfect if you can chant a few more times, Long live Soviet or Ula.

This is just a small part of the various rumours and exclusive insiders spreading on the streets of Paris at that time. During that time, there were countless rumors of various parties and fancy on the streets of Paris.

The Parisians were at a loss, and there were countless small pulpits on the streets for a while. On each pulpit there was a guy who spit foam and screamed his most accurate news to the surrounding citizens and taught the citizens now How to deal with it.

Countless legal and illegal large and small groups of small and varied organizations, like popping out of the stone, suddenly appeared in front of the citizens of Paris.

They have a variety of names, such as the Black Hawk Lily Iron Cross Alliance, which is composed of French people who support Germany’s occupation of France and uphold the Germanic spirit to save France, as well as the French Paris zi who called on the Parisians to unite and fight the Germans. Lure Federation.

The National Self-Defense Force of the Third Republic, determined to use violent destruction to deal with the German occupants, and the French Peace Party that appealed to the people to use an irresistible peaceful method to maintain the survival of the French nation, prepared to unite all the Parisian proletariat and laborers to unite and defeat The capitalist system and the Red Steel Alliance of fascist invaders.

There is even a religious doomsday jury filled with religion from head to toe. Although the citizens have never understood what the organization is doing, people often see them meeting in the cemetery at night, and they seem to be engaged in sacrificial activities. .

The ideas advocated by these groups are different, and some of them are contradictory. When the competition enters a heated state, these conflicts have inevitably evolved from verbal friction to direct confrontation.

It started with scolding and fighting each other, and finally developed into a small-scale armed fighting.

The citizens of Paris first watched these farce with cold eyes, but when some things involve their own interests, the citizens also joined the performance involuntarily. For a time, you can see hand-held banners and sticks everywhere in the city of Paris The parade shouting their respective slogans.

But after all, the activities of these organizations have not affected the order and operation of the city of Paris. The morale of Paris, which had no morale, did not deliberately interfere. At most, it prevented some weapons and arrested some troublemakers who took advantage of the fire. .

This chaotic situation makes some Parisians feel a little worried, but most Parisians still hold the mentality of watching the white drama, palliating this chaos to continue until the day of a large-scale riot.

This was the first Sunday morning after the German siege of Paris. Most of the citizens of Paris fell asleep lazily at home, and then they were awakened by the sudden blast of gunfire that suddenly sounded over the city.

At that time, most people thought that the Germans had entered the city. They did not understand why the Germans had to shoot. Paris had already announced that they had given up resistance.

But at least they are finally here, and they no longer have to wait as fearlessly as they did a while ago.

Many people have a sigh of relief and a sense of sadness at the same time. This day has finally arrived.

But when they carefully opened the curtains and looked on the street, they found that things were not what they thought they were.

Those who appeared on the street with a rifle and fired randomly into the sky were not German infantrymen wearing gray uniforms, but French soldiers wearing tan coats and blue Adelian helmets, and some civilians wearing ordinary coats. .

What happened was that the witnesses were completely confused by this scene. But when they saw the French soldiers and citizens holding a blood-red banner and everyone had a blood-red armband on their sleeves, they immediately understood what was happening.

It was a sign of the Red Steel Alliance, and it seemed that these noisy guys had finally launched an armed uprising.

The riots that had been hanging in Renault's mouth were actually launched in Paris surrounded by the Germans. I really don't know what is in the brains of those uprising organizers.

No Parisian ran out of the house to show his support and support to those guys who shouted loudly with slogans, saying that their thoughts were backward or their consciousness was low. At this time, even the idiot could see that this uprising would definitely end in farce. Everyone stayed quietly at home drinking tea waiting for the show to end.

The farce was really suppressed by the Parisian citizens, and the word repression may not be appropriate.

The rebel organizers spent several days instigating the soldiers of the two battalions of the Paris Army to launch the uprising.

Although more than 500 soldiers and more than 100 armed citizens are not very strong, the leaders of the uprising insisted that as long as they held up the red flag, the revolutionary Parisians who had been oppressed for many years must be Will support them accordingly.

As long as they have the support of three million Parisians, they will surely be able to win the final victory.

It is a pity that they overestimated the revolutionary nature of the Parisians and underestimated the survival wisdom of the Parisians.

As a result, when they were surrounded by the two regiments of soldiers who arrived at the news center, they did not see a lovely laborer come out to echo them.

The uprising was moderately suppressed. Compared with the previous suppression of similar uprisings in history, this repression can really be described by the word mild.

Only three people died from the beginning to the end of the farce. This is truly unprecedented.

The officers and soldiers who participated in the uprising laid down their weapons at the shouting of their superior commander, and the members of the Red Steel Alliance who participated in the uprising wisely chose to surrender. After all, no one wants to fight for a present in a battle that looks mortal. It seems a very false victory and lost his life.

The three people who died in this farce are all the core organizers of the uprising. Watching this great revolution strangled by the swaddling baby, in order to show their firm beliefs and to set an example for future revolutionaries, They chose to commit suicide without turning back.

In the broadcast room of the Paris Radio Station they occupied, they were originally prepared to read the petition to the citizens of Paris after the uprising was successful. These three core leaders sounded the prepared zha medicine and completely destroyed this Paris. A well-equipped studio.

The scene was messy, and there was blood and flesh everywhere. The tragedy at that time made all the French soldiers rushing into this room vomit, and at the same time, the only channel in Paris that spread news to the outside world was cut off.

General Danz was furious at this, and he pointed at the nose of the Acting Superintendent of Paris and the commander of the group army, General Herring, and scolded for an hour.

The disgraced director and generals who were scolded by their bosses roared and gave orders to their subordinates to ban illegal associations throughout the city.

The sound of Jing Bao, which had not been heard for a week, sounded again over the city of Paris. The Paris Super Team and the French team showed their high efficiency that they had never had before wearing this uniform. It was only one night, Paris The size of the organization was swept away.

The sudden increase in the number of prisoners in the prison resulted in a series of wars fighting for living space, but this is no longer a question for those savvy and military officers to consider.

When the sun shining over Paris on Monday, the city of Paris once again restored its former calm. If anything is different, then only the citizens of Paris expect the Germans to end the siege of the city and come in immediately to occupy Paris The expectations are even stronger.

During this time, the Germans knew nothing about these farce in Paris.

On the twelfth day of the siege of Paris, when the German front-line troops began to build the 47th barbed wire barrier in the outskirts of Paris because they were too boring, the French could not bear this situation and continued to finally let go of their restraint. And pride, began to actively seek dialogue with the German team.
