Chapter 10, Bourbon Restoration

The Spanish Government had not yet made a decision, but the civil war in France had already come to an end. No matter how hard the New Paris Government tried, they could not conjure up food.

In the grand scheme of things, nothing was more critical than filling one's belly. The common people didn't care about the bigger picture of the Revolutionary Government; if they couldn't satisfy their hunger today, who would care about tomorrow?

Now, everyone was left with only three choices: first, to obediently accept the rule of the new government and then starve to death; second, to break out and seek a way to survive, potentially avoiding landmines if lucky; third, to rebel and snatch back food from the hands of the Revolutionary Government.
