Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3219 Theater of Cruelty

Jefferson and Adams were diplomatic partners of very different stature, both in stature and character.

Adams was five feet seven inches tall and aggressive by nature. Jefferson was six feet two inches tall, slim and slender, and always had a serious expression on his face.

In 1787, the two of them went to Buckingham Palace together as envoys to sign an economic agreement with King George III. At this time, they felt that they were already independent countries, not colonies.

However, they waited until noon before George III received them, and his attitude throughout the entire process was extremely dismissive, which was painful for both Adams and Jefferson.

However, during the Revolution, when French exiles took possession of the secret agreement of 1778 and demanded that the United States assist France against the British in accordance with the obligations required by the agreement, Washington declared neutrality. So when Jefferson's envoy said that if Napoleon could sell Louisiana and the rest of the war be on France's side, the administration "remained silent."

The news of Saint-Domingue was quickly overshadowed by the larger news, the secularization of the Holy Roman Empire, which Talleyrand felt was his credit. When Napoleon won, he was omnipotent. When Napoleon failed, it was Talleyrand's turn to "perform".

The relationship between Jefferson and Adams has changed since the two became presidents. In other words, Jefferson was more inclined to justice and internal affairs, and did not intend to violate the Constitution and set up a standing army and navy. On the contrary, after Adams came to power, he would definitely step up military construction.

Joseph was still determined not to sell, Lucien seemed a little relenting, and the Finance Minister became increasingly anxious for money.

The Americans have indeed practiced isolationism since the death of Washington, but when other European countries were involved in the anti-French alliance war and were fighting to the death, their ships flew the flags of neutral countries and gained huge profits, and their warships also flew under the flags of neutral countries. Set out to the Mediterranean in the name of eradicating pirates.

If "all goes well", after all the Baltic countries sign a treaty, neutrals from the Elbe to Brest will first go to a British port to "accept inspection" (pay taxes), and then sail to France and its allies. shore.

But now that Napoleon has put pressure on Hamburg by arresting assassins, this plan has been shelved. Although giving up peace and starting war is also a way.

If Louis XVIII went to Cologne and declared himself king directly, the royalists might still respect him a little. At that time, Louis XVII was not only imprisoned in the Temple Tower, but he was also a child. If he was not Louis XVII, but Just a member of the royal family like Princess Marie Theresa, he might still have a chance to survive.

If a heavy load is placed on weak shoulders, not only will the goods on the load be destroyed, but the porters will also be crushed to death.

The royalists also knew how to find a Bourbon prince who looked worthy of following, but... Napoleon's old classmate Alexandre de Marchi was also among the exiles this time. He had served in Condé's army, but He was now penniless and his family property had been confiscated during the Revolution, so he could only ask Napoleon to do him a favor.

The French army has a tradition of relying on a solidarity of soldiers to govern, with officers who stand out for their military talent and technical knowledge. It is organized in the form of dining groups or teams of 16 people. The members of the team eat, work and rest together, and also experience the horror of war together. From this, the members experience the brotherhood of life and death.

Bonaparte was like this when he was studying in the military academy. He had his own opinions, but not everyone liked him. It was raining heavily that day, and when he was hiding under a tree, a classmate driving a carriage passed in front of him. Passing by, but not intending to give him a ride.

Anyway, Napoleon was very surprised and emotional after meeting his old classmate, and was a little out of sorts the whole morning.

From what Mr. Martin said, he seemed to want Georgiana to comfort her at this time, or to communicate and promote feelings. After all, Bonaparte's feelings at the moment seemed a bit fragile.

If she were a normal woman, she would have been persuaded by Mr. Martin.

Pomona didn't even go out when Severus was so vulnerable. How could she go for such a small thing?
It would be better if another woman fell in love with him at this time, and if he fell in love with someone else, she would be freed from this immoral and dishonorable relationship.

If you don't like it, just say no clearly. This is what Pomona admires about Lily. She is always very clean and does not ask Severus to do something with an old love. Maybe not everyone knows the relationship between love and favor. Anyway, Louis XIV did not miss the old relationship with Prince Eugen's mother and let him take a high-ranking position in the army, although the final result proved that Louis XIV was wrong.

According to the concept of French law, silence means disagreement, although according to the artistic conception of the poem, "when talking about love, silence is better than words."

Georgiana always remembered Marie Antoinette's troublesome feather, and she refrained from complimenting others, lest others think she wanted it.

But when she smiled silently, Mr. Martin thought she acquiesced, and then asked the actress to sing an opera she didn't like.

This may be a bit of a fuss, but wouldn't a feather cause such a big disturbance?

In the Padua Library, she read an analysis of the constitution written by an Italian scholar. The French constitution has two fundamental flaws. One is that it cannot guarantee political justice, and the other is that all industries are not equally cared for.

How could Chaptal think of becoming Georgiana's guardian again? He didn't pay much attention to it when he took on this position before.

The only thing she could think of was her wife's Rondock group, either complaining about "unfairness" or asking for more "favouritism."

Women should not get involved in politics. At Josephine's dinner table, the Americans originally only wanted to get Louisiana, and they went to sell the entire state while chatting.

St. Breschamp used "Sir" when introducing Martin, and when introducing nobles, he added "De" and his previous title.

Obviously, regardless of whether she agrees with the publication of a dictionary or not, the nobles have to distinguish between "true and false" rather than "old and new".

After Lancaster was driven away, the York family granted many nobles. There was a student in Pomona, and his family was granted the title of noble at that time. After 500 years, it also became an ancient noble family.

The wizarding world has caused a lot of trouble over the issue of "pure blood".

Even though Hercules was of humble origin, he obtained the consent of the gods of Olympus through "proper channels" and became a member of the Star Sequence.

Chateaubriand wanted to change Bonaparte's words from "the ruthless goddess of fate took away Admetus' life" to "created difficulties and obstacles."

The goddess of fate once told Admetus that if he found someone willing to die on his behalf, he could escape death, but no one was willing to die on his behalf, even though they had to lose a wise king like him, only his His wife Alcestis, a woman of her prime, was willing to die in his place as a sacrifice to the God of Death.

There were many nobles who were willing to go through fire and water for the king, but she didn't expect many people to understand what he said.

When he and the soldiers gave orders, they were very concise. Turn left, turn right. You could understand it immediately. Who could understand such complicated instructions?

She wanted to see who could capture him when he was vulnerable, so Georgiana continued to listen to the opera without any worries, even though she didn't like it at all.
