Chapter 2042 first lord
If you have a famous younger brother, how would it feel to be taken care of by him as an older brother?

Not only Joseph Bonaparte had this distress, but John Pitt, the elder brother of William Pitt Jr., also had the same problem. Although he inherited the title and property of his father William Pitt Sr. It's really too bad.

He was Lord of the Privy Council from 1796 to 1801, losing that position with the resignation of William Pitt the Younger, now the Duke of Portland, and himself rejoining the Navy.

Many people suspected that Napoleon had deliberately sent Moreau's people to Santo Domingo this time, and the British Navy also had the same problem.

In other words, some people think that the Lord of the Admiralty should not continue to be in charge of the military, and the governor of Gibraltar has also been replaced by the Duke of York.

Of course, the Duke of York will not go to Gibraltar to be the governor in person, but he can find an agent to go.

This amphibious monster brought Napoleon's expedition to an end in Acre after Sidney Smith's ultra vires, and he signed the "Agreement of El Arish", allowing the French army in Egypt to return home after the surrender.

London didn't want to let a French soldier go home at all, but the damn agreement had already been signed. In order to veto the agreement, they sent a general to fight in Egypt. Although the French army suffered heavy losses, the final treaty signed was still the same. The British wanted to send out warships to transport the French back to Europe.

In 1801 Sidney Smith was recalled to England and "asked" him to retire from the army, with a pension of £1000.

However, instead of continuing to cause trouble in Europe, he ran to the United States and became a congressman.The most important thing is that he also had a hot fight with the princess Caroline of the Principality of Saxony, and the princess was not only his lover, but also the army quartermaster George Canning and the painter Thomas Lawrence.

There are rumors that a "Mamma Mia"-style plot broke out. Of course, this is just a legend. The difficulty is that this "legend" actually spread from the United States to Europe.

Sidney Smith is vain and self-willed. On the other hand, he is brave and full of vitality. He regards himself as a knight and is almost the same as Napoleon in terms of overreach. Napoleon saw Little Gibraltar in the Battle of Toulon and thought it was the real best position .

Of course, Sidney Smith was not commanding the "frigate" this time. If it was him, he might have fired at the right time.

After the 20th century, there was the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The original ocean was a state of shared property. It was not until 1493 that Alexander VI drew a papal meridian that the ocean separatism began.

In 1609, the sea power of the Netherlands rose. At that time, a Dutch international jurist published "On the Liberty of the Sea", proposing that the sea cannot be occupied and is not the property of any country.

In 1618, British scholars published "The Theory of Closing the Sea", opposing the theory of Dutch international jurists, and believed that the British monarch had the right to occupy the sea around Britain.

According to the British statement, the strait between the United Kingdom and France should belong to the United Kingdom. France does not agree that this difference can be resolved through a fight.

Of course, a more civilized approach can also be used. Italian jurists have proposed that a country has sovereignty over its territory and the sea adjacent to its coast. This sea is called territorial sea by him.

In 1702, the Dutch again divided the sea into the territorial sea and the high seas. The ownership of the territorial sea and the coast belonged to the sovereign state, while the high seas did not belong to any country. Determining the width of the territorial sea is the famous "cannon range theory". In Bismarck's words, "the range of the cannon is justice".

Since the 17th century, the Netherlands and France have implemented the cannon range rule. By the end of the 18th century, according to the range of the cannon at that time, it was proposed that the width of the sea area controlled by the coastal countries should be three nautical miles. All nautical miles are subject to French sovereignty.If he had been hit by a British shell, of course the Amiens contract would have been veiled, and if he had survived, the trouble would have been endless.And the Pomona is a cruise ship, which is a civilian ship used for transportation and tourism. Napoleon boarded the Pomona as a passenger. He not only remembered the postal route, but also remembered the forts along the route. The type, range, etc. of the cannon used.

If Britain is a victorious force at sea, but as long as it is under the command of Napoleon, Britain cannot expect to defeat France on land. This has almost become a consensus in Europe. What is more critical is the navy's overseas spending and the timber used to build ships for the navy. The corruption scandal that broke out in the factory, and then Bonaparte took Georgiana on board.

She thought she could persuade the British to let Bonaparte sail to Belgium with her connections.

Napoleon did not need to rely on women. Even when he first became the commander-in-chief of Italy, many people thought that he got the position through Josephine.

Napoleon didn't gamble with money, he gambled with something else, and her heart was pounding at the moment.If the British really feel that they can solve many problems by eliminating him at this time, then no one on the same boat as him is safe.

However, the range of the cannon was far inferior to the telescope. Anyway, after the ship sailed out for a while, no warships were found on the high seas, so that she could play chess with Bonaparte basking in the sun under the mast.

He was obviously inattentive and his play was not up to par, but Georgiana didn't feel that winning him was something to celebrate at this time.

The other people on the deck did not seem to be relaxed and freehand, especially when crossing a bay, because the sand was washed out by the freshwater river, they had to drive a little to the open sea to prevent being stranded. problem occurs.

But this was temporary, and maybe the British didn't expect that he would really dare to cross the Strait of Dover by boat. This is also the essence of the surprise attack-unexpected, as simple as putting an egg on the table.

Before he smashed the egg and stood it on the table, I am afraid that no one would have thought of this. It would be easy to see him demonstrate.

This is also impossible. Last time Napoleon sent the navy to rescue the army trapped in Egypt, and let Mullah attack Taranto to attract the attention of the British navy, but the French navy was afraid of losing the fleet, causing the same disaster as Aboukir. It was a fiasco, docked in the port, and missed the fighter plane, which eventually led to having to use the agreement signed by Sidney Smith to withdraw the French expeditionary force from Egypt.

Confidence is very important. In fact, the British Army is not as bad as the legends say, but before Wellington appears, the British Army may continue to endure the oppression brought by Napoleon.

Or put it another way, keep them from knowing how terrible Napoleon is, just like what Albus did to Harry, let him grow up in the Muggle community, he doesn't understand the fear brought by Voldemort, ignorant people are fearless, dare to say directly Named "dark lord".

Some people may think that she is worrying unfoundedly. Napoleon abdicated or died, and it is impossible for France to break out of civil war.The severe cold weather in Russia froze many people to death, but if there were not so many conscripts and they stayed at home, wouldn't they not have to join the army and go to such distant places?

There is a story about a poor ghost. His ancestors have been poor for generations, but he was unwilling to marry a maid, so he mustered up the courage to propose to a girl with 300 francs. Why did this girl fall in love with him?
In order to save her son, the mother would spend all her savings to pay the military service tax, so that he would not have to join the army, and he could safely stay in the countryside and continue farming and herding cattle.

Or he suddenly discovered that he was very good at fighting, from a small soldier to a marshal gradually.After all, Napoleon said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Every soldier has a marshal's staff in his backpack, and the annuity he gives to heroes is millions of francs.

Not just money, but also mansions, beautiful women, and a luxurious life that the poor man could never dream of in his life. Sidney Smith slept with a princess of a principality, and that poor man could also sleep with a female elector, princess, or even a queen.

What kind of commander brought out what kind of soldiers, Napoleon was a very proud man, he put on beautiful uniforms for those soldiers, making this hard-working profession that no one wants to go bright.

Wordsworth wrote a poem:

There are two kinds of voices in the place where giants lived in the past, one is the howling of the sea, and the other is the shouting of the mountains, both of which are majestic and powerful.

Liberty, this is the tune you have chosen!

A mistress can be understood as a female speculator, and many men have them. The Duke of York also has a woman named Mary Anne Clark. Isn't the Duke of York going to send someone to be the governor of Gibraltar?By bribing her with money, she can introduce that person to the Duke, and even if she cannot get the governor, she can be recommended as an officer.

There was no such thing in Georgiana, who wrote to Paris before embarking to find out the doctor who had invented the soda ash method, and the gas lamp maker who was going bankrupt in Geneva.

She doesn't know what will happen, but since she has given herself to fate, she can only take one step at a time.She can't plan in advance like Napoleon, after all, he believes that fate is in his own hands, although he is not sure that the matter of being in power for life seems to be decided on a whim, just like her who let fate control her same as people.

This can be understood as an experiment. After all, Britain is also testing people's acceptance with banknotes. So far, it has been calm and nothing has happened?

Maybe, nothing will happen.
