The proposal was passed immediately.

On November 2, after Eugenie, the French regent of Paris, signed it into effect, the Paris Guard Corps immediately dispatched 50,000 regular troops to Reims to support Napoleon III.

This time it was no longer 50,000, but the same 70,000 French troops.

On November 5th, the French Emperor Napoleon III, who was stationing 150,000 troops in Reims, fought back. He sent 70,000 troops to break into Verdun, but he was immediately attacked by the Prussian army. In the end, the French army of 70,000 invaded Verdun.
