Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2043 "Watchtower" ([-])

The fleet added some more halfway, and when it reached Boulogne-sur-Mer, it already had a size of 50 ships, and it was already night.

Napoleon disembarked here, and there were already many people waiting on the beach.There is a large military camp by the beach of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Bonfires were lit along the way from the military camp to where Napoleon disembarked. The orange flames were continuously blown and deformed by the sea breeze, as if they would ignite the people standing next to them at any time. Clothes on soldiers.

Georgiana didn't ask why he didn't continue sailing in the dark, because Boulogne-sur-Mer already belonged to the province of Calais and the Strait of Dover, and it would be very risky to continue.

It may be necessary to turn overland when arriving here. There is still a thoroughfare from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Calais. However, there are two people standing in the front row in the welcoming team. Colonel Veuer, of Holland, who had fought Nelson, was victorious though only a partial skirmish.

Colonel Veuel has many years of experience in naval warfare and is very familiar with the sea conditions in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The two were only briefly introduced, and Napoleon entered the barracks surrounded by the generals of the garrison. As for Georgiana, she planned to stay where she was and spend the night on the boat, but was taken to the country estate by a group of people , not far from the base camp, for a moment, she thought she was under house arrest.

It was not until she was invited to observe how to prepare a portable altar and saw the priest in white that she felt at ease.After this portable altar was set up, Mass was attended by all military and civilian personnel living on the estate.

In the middle of the night they all came back, Bonaparte did not take her room, and they went out again the next morning.As usual, he traveled to the nearby highlands, where he delivered his speech.

It is said that Caesar conquered Britain from that place.

Then he ordered a wooden house to be built on the high ground, big enough for a telescope to be used to observe the sky, and to watch all that happened at sea.

Le Quere, who was taken by Georgiana and followed here from Rouen inexplicably, came in handy. Although he was a utopian architect, he was a carpenter and architect.In addition, Napoleon also planned to build an artillery position here. In the future, many mortars with exaggerated calibers will be erected here, which can cover 3000 Toas, which is about a distance of 3 nautical miles.In addition, some huts for the admiral and the minister of the navy were to be built, so the first day in Boulogne was spent in this way.

Wherever Napoleon passed, there was a frenzy. The men called him Caesar, and everyone who saw him was flushed with excitement.Especially when the new type of artillery was being tested, the sound it made was so loud that the ground under their feet trembled, but instead of daring to feel fear, it was like getting a new toy.

The next day they used a flat-bottomed boat as a target, and Napoleon himself practiced a new cannon, which hit the target with a single shot, and the compliments were endless.

Georgiana didn't accompany him, what was she an English woman doing watching that scene?
She wants to find a place to build a church. When she comes to Boulogne-sur-Mer next time, she doesn’t need to build a portable altar to hold mass. There will also be a hospital near the church. Maybe one day this place will become a battlefield. will be involved.

Trespassing should not be allowed in churches and hospitals, but when the French were in Italy, they robbed churches a lot. Later, Napoleon shot several people to stop the chaos.

While in Verona, there was also an attack on a hospital where French wounded soldiers were staying.

If war is a galloping chariot, Napoleon’s army is the kind of fast and powerful chariot that discarded its baggage, but soldiers are also human, and they also need to eat. Napoleon’s supply method is to rob local residents , Facing such an army, Tsar Alexander adopted scorched earth warfare, letting the cold weather of Russia deal with them.

Even if it was Georgiana herself, she would be the same as Alexander. If one day Napoleon's army landed in England, she would burn London or other cities, but Britain does not have such cold weather to assist.

She won't be involved in the Muggle Wars like Henry Potter, and that has nothing to do with the International Statute of Secrecy.

In the past, Li Hongzhang signed a trade treaty with Japan, and sent urgently needed materials to Japan before the two countries went to war. He may have misunderstood the so-called spirit of contract of the Europeans.

Contracts can be broken, Sidney Smith's agreement was broken once in London, and the two sides fought again in Egypt.

The French were not wiped out or surrendered en masse, and there was no benefit in letting the British and French armies continue to fight.It is profitable to transport those French expeditionary forces away by ship. Although the French took away most of the spoils, didn't the Rosetta Stone stay and was taken back and placed in the British Museum?
Only those who have demonstrated enough strength are eligible to negotiate conditions. Of course, there should be no scruples in the war of betting on the fate of the country. Even if you put your own life on the line, you can change your reputation for generations to come.

But Georgiana is a woman, and women are not allowed to gamble. "Before" she saw some women's mummies in Venice. They were crucified for participating in gambling. Recognized by creditors, they can still survive in society.

Women may be able to do whatever they can for revenge like Princess Medea, but they are not as good as men in terms of killing their lives.When they specialize in a craft, even if women usually cook, most of them become top chefs are men.

A woman like Figel chooses to join the dragoons like a man, but she is not much different from a man in appearance, and she is equally burly and strong.

Georgiana chose not to go head-to-head with men, she thought it was hitting a stone with a pebble.

Napoleon also had his soft heart. He was very kind to his old subordinates. The groom who drove her was a former guard, but he was old enough to leave the army. He was reluctant to leave Napoleon and tried his best to stay.

Not everyone is hard-hearted and wolf-hearted. She hopes to awaken this side of their humanity, which is beneficial to women, and love is the most suitable weapon for women.

Teresa asked Talyan to get her out of prison, and he staged a Thermidor coup for her, which was romance in Georgiana's eyes.

She remembered the French dinner at Victor Hugo's house, she was so worried, even if it was a delicacy stolen from Mount Olympus, she didn't think it was very romantic, fortunately Severus invited her to dance That saved the failed date.

She almost forgot that all this happened because she saw the "future" in the crystal ball made by Nicolas. A commotion across Europe was about to happen, and she was said to be the "link" of everything.

She is just a "thread ball" and does not untie the root of everything, so she is powerless to change some things.

If it is said that a signed contract can be torn up, even engraved in stone, there is a kind of oath that cannot be reversed, and that is an unbreakable oath signed by magic.

Severus will take care of Draco until the day he dies.

So Draco passed away first, did he not fulfill his oath, and then he was punished?

Hope flickered in and out of painful dizziness like stars in the night sky.

If she was going to build a church, its walls would be riddled with holes that looked like bullet holes and let light in, leaving dappled spots of light on the dark walls.

It must be beautiful, although it's not Gothic or Baroque or Norman.

It should be made of cement so that you can make any curve you want, and it should be named Saint-Pierre Church, there is a church of the same name in Geneva, where Rousseau spent his childhood and where Luther preached .

As for why she thought of these?Maybe this is the so-called divine revelation.
