Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2026 Naughty Wind ([-])

Once people get old, they tend to be mature and prudent, or to put it another way, they tend to hesitate.

Young people are prone to impulsiveness, which also means making quick decisions.

According to Napoleon's consistent temper, he will not send the ambassador to Britain until now.

He was playing chess, and the others could only wait for him to make a decision, but everyone in Xingyuan could feel the tense atmosphere.

If France lost the war with the Anti-French Alliance, then using a not very vivid metaphor, you can refer to the Republic of Florence. Even though the people supported the Republic, the Medici family also regained power with the support of the Pope and Spain. until they perish due to extinction.

How can a country be considered dead?
During the previous chat, Bonaparte told Georgiana that the reason why Austria sent Count Cobenz as a representative when discussing the "Campoformio Agreement" was because these electors were fighting openly and secretly, and discussed several There were no results for a month, and the waltz was still dancing in Vienna. He couldn't wait any longer to establish the Southern Alps Republic.

Although Louis XVIII restored and restored the white lilies, he expelled those who were loyal to Napoleon in the army, or those who claimed to be loyal to him on the surface, and avoided the warlord separatism, but pitied those Medusa lords soldiers who were abandoned by noble officers.

The sanctions of the republic cut off some people and improved the efficiency of administration. At the same time, it also means that the positions need to be filled by capable people. The previous model of relying on mistresses and other relationships in the old system is no longer suitable for the new era.

People in the old era had two situations in handling affairs. Either they were procrastinated, such as customs formalities, which could take up to half a month, or they were extremely fast, which was often done only after delaying the relationship.

Young people are most annoyed by this kind of relationship and looking for ways. Only with strength can they be convinced. When Georgiana was in charge of the cafeteria, I heard those newly promoted senior officials of the republic say, "They have worked hard except when they were born. When did they work hard?" ?”

Later she was driven away because they felt that Napoleon was so influenced by her that he exempted steel from tariffs.

Brokers are selling machines, and Georgiana also intends to buy a few steam engines from Soho Company. The last time she bought steam engines for the Paris water supply system, someone "threaded the needle". The name of the broker was Perrier, but because the negotiations were protracted, Coupled with the fact that the Wilkinson brothers who supplied Soho with cylinders at the time broke up due to a quarrel, Perrier's plan was almost shelved.Because Macdonald University and Marini College came forward to suggest that Boulton and Watt monopolize the power to manufacture steam engines, so that it is convenient for them to manufacture engines in France.

Then Joseph Jarry, a coal mine owner near Nantes, placed an order. He didn't pay a penny. The steam engine was their advertisement, because at the time of the Revolutionary War, Soho was on the verge of bankruptcy like many Birmingham companies, but Bolton chose between letting the company go bankrupt and borrowing money to survive. He borrowed money from a Dutch banker to continue operating.

This is the more troublesome place. Soho is not open to the public now. Obviously, the technology is kept secret. Georgiana thinks that Napoleon is crazy to agree that Soho also has the privilege of monopolizing the manufacture of steam engines in France. Even if she wants to buy it, it is not so simple. of.

Or you can use the previous model of Jerry. Originally, Angzan Coal Mine and Perrier also planned to buy equipment.

Stanley made a profit from this business, but the key to the problem is the engineers. Even Soho assembly engineers are rare, especially those who can get along well with Watt, a Scot.

Soho's model is roughly like this. When debugging a machine, the engineer has to bargain with Watt, the contractor, how much they should be paid every day, or how much commission after the debugging is successful. These are all based on negotiation.

Watt found the engineers rude, careless, and often drunk, and Bolton, who was always easy-going, was also blown up by them and fired two of them.

Georgiana didn't want to poach them. Although assembly engineers were very rare, the two people who were expelled were 20 years ago. The technology had already been innovated, not to mention that they would not leak secrets to "foreign countries".

The English also have a patriotic plot, although they have not much propaganda and education to strengthen patriotism.

These staunch patriots are not afraid of war, but life is a more painful thing than war, and it can make people of backbone feel extremely painful.

She admired Napoleon because of this, he did not give up what he insisted on because of life, and this is also the characteristic of Severus, he stubbornly insisted on practicing black magic regardless of the prejudice of the world.

She is very envious of this kind of person, but unfortunately she is not.

Men are admired for having such a rock-hard character, and she doesn't know whether this is a weakness or an advantage, because a woman with too hard a character is prone to head-on confrontation with the opposite sex.

Her personality tends to be more tolerant, but her tolerance will not give her any competitiveness in a world that promotes competition.

The whole Hufflepuff Academy is like this, not to mention Gryffindor and Slytherin, even Ravenclaw will compete in academic performance, compared to Hufflepuff who is not competitive There is a sense of presence.

Except for Barty Crouch Jr. who became a Death Eater, and Zacharias Smith who ran away, Hufflepuff is a very good boy, especially Cedric Diggory, how much is that? The pride of Hufflepuff for many years, but he died young...

"What are you thinking?" asked Bonaparte.

"One of my pupils," said Georgiana sadly, "died very young."

Bonaparte said nothing.

"I think maybe it's because I put too much pressure on him. He is actually more talented in Transfiguration, but he learned black magic in order to defeat dragons."

"He died fighting the dragon?" asked Bonaparte.

"No, in another game," Georgiana said. "He and another child were teleported to another place, where there is a very dangerous wizard."

He seemed to lose interest in the subject.

She adjusted her mood, not wanting to let her mood be so low, and then affect Bonaparte's mood.

"Do you think he is brave?" said Bonaparte suddenly, "like smiling Maria."

It took her a while to realize that he might be talking about Michelangelo's "La Madonna".

"I'm proud of him," Georgiana said, "but not because he's dead."

"You want him alive?" he asked.

"The dark wizard said, 'Kill that extra'... I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties." Georgiana said with some anxiety, "I don't like killing as a game."

"You don't like ivory jewelry boxes, why do you like ivory chess pieces?" asked Bonaparte.

"I don't know." She looked at the beautiful pieces. "I don't know, Leon."

"Are you fascinated by bloody games?" He asked impatiently.

"No!" she said sternly. "That makes me sick."

"Do you think I'm disgusting?" he asked again.

She did not answer.

"Tell me what you really think." He sat upright and asked.

"I don't want you to hate me," she said.

"I choose truth over pleasure, and so do you," said Bonaparte. "Tell me."

She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist.

Sometimes people encounter this situation, is to be honest or choose a white lie.

Choosing to be honest can cost you a true friend, and a white lie is still a lie, and one day its consequences may be worse when it is found out.

"You made the soldier's choice," Pomona said. "I'm not going to judge you right or wrong."

"Then what are you thinking?" he asked.

"I'd choose death over the road you've chosen," Georgiana said, "unless it's to protect my home."

"You know I'm doing that to save everything we've worked so hard for."

"Isn't happiness because you can make full use of your talents?"

"You said you wouldn't judge my right or wrong."

"Yes, I won't, but you can't stop my soul from feeling the pain." She said sadly, "I said, you are not a statue, you can cry."

"Witches don't shed tears, so you are crying." He said dully, "I have never seen a witch like you."

She thought about the witches she had seen. She did not wear thick glasses like Sybil, but her clothes were also sloppy, and she was not at all as elegant as Naxisha.

"Do you still want to play chess?" she asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

He ignored her.

God, if you are truly merciful, please give us a miracle.

She prayed secretly, like a helpless woman.

It's a pity that kneeling and tears won't change the hard-hearted man's heart, otherwise she really wants to give it a try.
