Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2253 Fierce Frenzy ([-])
Mention Voldemort, the first thing that children of Harry Potter's generation think of is the monster with no hair and a snake-like face.

But the people of Pomona's era remembered his handsome face, especially when he smiled, reflecting an elegance, and he was even more aristocratic than the so-called pure-blood nobles.

Women often admire themselves and are jealous of each other's beauty, even goddesses are not immune, but once a man has this beauty, this "sin" is forgiven, even like Bella.

In fact, the straight-line distance from Ghent to Bruges is not far. You can even see the spiers of Bruges spires from the towers of Ghent. The general tortuous entanglement makes the journey that can be completed in one day become two days.

If Bruges is a red medieval city, then Ghent is a city with natural stone gray. The Earl's Palace in the center of the city maintains the castle style of the Crusades, with ancient Roman walls and moats.It can be said that there is no decoration inside, and it is still completely stone. What's worse is that it used to be a prison and a court.

In such a place, Georgiana is no longer in a "naughty" mood. The garter belt and lace match very well, especially after adding a bow to the side of the white stockings.

But even if the clothes were worn by Voldemort's mother, she probably wouldn't be able to save her "marriage". The Gaunt family and her generation don't know how to grow up like that. Fortunately, Voldemort looks like his father.

The Order of the Garter is a garter with inscriptions in Latin meaning "sham on him who thinks evil of it".

Legend has it that when Edward III was dancing with a countess, the countess's garter suddenly fell down, causing everyone to laugh, and Edward III rescued her.

The same is Edward III. In 1340, he showed the world the new president of England in Ghent. There are three lions representing England and blue irises in France. The British king behind him will add the French king to himself. title.

John of Gaunt was involved in the Wars of the Roses, and all in all, it was a city that pained her, even though it looked bustling.

In the eleventh century, the people of Ghent imported wool from England, and then produced cloth, known as a trading city.

After an industrial spy stole British textile industry technology in 1800, Ghent soon became Manchester on land. Bonaparte stayed here for two days just to visit those factories. Soon a sugar refinery will be built here. , this is the first "good news" they have received in Belgium, and the previous cities have all promised to accept French food.

In fact, the canal that the Bruges wanted to dig in the 14th century was connected to the canal in the 17th century, but even if the ruler had already planned it, they still had the right to say no, not like the colonies.

Before coming to Belgium, she thought that the Belgians would be as "flexible" as the Dutch, and it would be easier to promote sugar beet planting than France. She really didn't expect that Ghent was the first to agree and signed a contract to purchase French equipment.

Perhaps it is because they are "sensible people". Ghent's manufacturing industry is well-developed. As long as there are blueprints, British textile factories can be reproduced. It doesn't matter whether the French hand over the equipment. They have to pay anyway.

This made people feel unspeakably depressed, although Bonaparte liked his orders to be carried out immediately, and they set off for Antwerp by land the day after Chaputal signed the contract with them.

Still the same, even though the Scheldt River can be passed from Ghent to Antwerp, there are too many twists and turns on the natural river course, and the straight-line distance from Ghent to Antwerp is not too far.But something unexpected happened. When they passed by a small town named St. Nicholas, they were warmly welcomed, and the locals even performed a show for them.

Louis XIV once joined forces with the United Kingdom to deal with the Netherlands. The period from 1650 to 1750 was the "Golden Age" of the Netherlands, but it was the "Dark Age" of the Netherlands. After the death of the Archduke Albert of Austria, the Netherlands and Spain fought for The southern Netherlands went to war, and the southern Netherlands was returned to Spain.

During the War of the Spanish Throne, the Spanish Netherlands was occupied by France. After the war, according to the "Treaty of Utrecht", it was divided into the Austrian Habsburgs. The Austrian Habsburgs wanted to split the Southern Netherlands. In exchange for territory, France was allowed to send troops to Prussia during the Seven Years War. However, the result was that Austria failed to defeat Prussia, and this agreement was not negotiated.

The town of St. Nicholas belongs to the North Netherlands and has not experienced as much suffering as the South Netherlands. However, the Batavian Republic established by Napoleon redraws the national border. The town of St. Nicholas and Antwerp are independent from the Netherlands, so the town People are so happy.

Georgiana didn't ask about the railroad.

With a traffic line, the town will become more prosperous than it is now, and it will also attract wars. After becoming a traffic artery, it will become a place of contention.

She only realized how muddy the roads in Belgium are after walking the field once, and laying a railway pulled by a steam engine is not just a matter of spending money.What's more, the war will be in any place. Light railways have the advantage of being easy to erect. Only ballast and basic sleepers can be laid, and if they are damaged by shelling or heavy loads, they can be repaired quickly.He is a man of calculations, especially when it comes to issues like war that may drag down a country's finances, and he can prevent troops from losing contact due to the breakdown of communication lines, which is a big taboo.In the past, he always liked to talk about wars, not just his own case, but also other people's cases. Prince Eugen set up many checkpoints on the supply line, and correspondingly dispersed his troops, even if those were reserve teams, waiting to link the two sides of the strait. Once the bridge was broken, he could only watch the reserve team be surrounded and wiped out until the pontoon bridge was erected.

There are also forts on the border between France and the Netherlands, where floodplains can be formed by using the locks.It cost 400 million francs to repair it at the beginning, and now it costs [-] million francs to maintain them every year, which is a waste.

She felt as if she had guessed something, but before she could think about it, she was surrounded by enthusiastic Belgian women who didn't care about her identity at all.

In the afternoon, Pierre Francis Charles Augereau, the general of the garrison stationed in Belgium, arrived to meet Bonaparte.

Yet he was snarled by Napoleon.

"Even if you resign, before you get my order to evacuate, what you have to do is not to pack up and leave immediately, but to stick to your spot until you receive my order. If this is wartime, I can do it now AWOL and shoot you."

Just when Georgiana thought he was really going to kill someone, Augereau's "handling" came to an end, and he was ordered to retire immediately.

Georgiana could see that Augereau was in a daze, and she was in a daze too. Wasn't Bonaparte in a good mood before?

Now that the Dutch garrison has no generals, who will command them?

She felt that she seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand. After thinking about it again, she figured it out again. So many military strategists hadn't guessed his intentions, let alone a woman.

Then she was thinking again, she clearly knew that she was an illegitimate daughter, even if she could have a son, he would not be able to marry her, how could she still be reduced to this point?

To blame can only be blamed that she didn't fight hard at the Urk Canal, and she did have a crush on him, giving him a chance to take advantage of it.

There is a saying that the best defense is offense. No matter how tight the defense is, there will always be times when the "chessboard" is best not to be placed on your own land, unless it is like Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "Dead land and then live." ".

Hogwarts was considered the last stronghold, but she didn't intend to die if she couldn't hold it. Why did she say to Bonaparte that Theodora's "purple robe is the most beautiful shroud"?

She didn't understand, maybe it was the same reason that men saw that he would obey what he said, he just had this magic, even though he was only a Muggle.
