Josephine may be a squib, her senses are sometimes frighteningly sharp, and even those wizards who use concealment spells and especially reduce their sense of existence will be noticed by her, and then they directly use the identity of the old nobleman in her Haunted around.

Josephine has many habits of the old aristocrats, such as liking extravagance, and she is a little naive. Julife Ufral heard the news that the United States wanted to buy Louisiana, and Georgiana remembered that the famous purchase was made for 80 million francs. If Napoleon sold Louisiana, then not only the 75 million owed by her can be repaid, but there is even a surplus, but if she does that, then it will be like those who sold the land left by their ancestors, and then in Paris The French aristocrats who live in luxury are no different.

Napoleon reused Lange not only because he was an official in Lyon, but his views and theories were very suitable for what Napoleon was going to do next-to buy a large amount of British grain. Lange has built so many granaries and needs to fill them up. He can’t stand the temptation of high grain prices at this time. British farmers who don’t export incentives will sell a lot of grain. High grain prices will put a lot of pressure on the treasury, but "The fleeting moment, Napoleon will not let go of this opportunity.

Conscription in the UK is much more difficult than in France. Professional soldiers think that the militia is useless, but the British overseas colonies need a lot of soldiers. Many organizations similar to the French National Guard have formed in the UK, but this team only serves in the country. The regular army's supply of troops was exhausted. It was not until 1799, when the British modeled on France that conscription was legal rather than voluntary, that the work of recruiting troops became slightly easier. But these soldiers are just like what Napoleon saw. Most of them are recruits. There are not many troops that can really fight. The Royal Navy is still the biggest reliance.

William Pitt Jr. in opposition is currently busy with infighting, and Nelson is his ally. During the war, Pitt used loans to make up for the deficit. Now it is Addington's turn to come to power, and he will start paying back the money for Pete.

In order to obtain the source of troops, the British Navy completely disregarded the protests of the United States on "human rights" and adopted the "Raff" method to force foreigners to join the army, and even sent prisoners to serve on the ship. Of course, the scene was not drinking red wine and eating on the battleship Canned, well-dressed and wig-like, the French aristocratic navy with the sea breeze can imagine.

The British navy is a pirate if it takes off its uniform, just like the French army is full of robbers. At the same time, William Pitt, Jr. also ordered that food be included in the scope of the embargo, and this ban was reiterated in 1795. This measure actually put all French The peaceful inhabitants of the city were treated like the inhabitants of a besieged city. The British blockade was tighter than ever, France's land borders were at least open in past wars, many continental countries remained neutral, and the Mediterranean was not under British jurisdiction.

The countries of the Anti-French Alliance blocked the ports of France, froze the assets of the French, prohibited the sale of embargoed goods to France and cut off all loan relations. Except for the corner of Switzerland, the French border was surrounded by large armies.

The measures taken by France were to cause extremely serious damage to the trade of the anti-French allies with the cooperation of pirates. Although the ocean-going fleet was escorted by warships, nearly 600 ships were lost every year, and the insurance premiums soared. Ships were gradually replaced by neutral countries.

Now that "peace" has been achieved, combating piracy has become the content of the agreement in the peace treaty. The Berber pirates operating in the Mediterranean Sea and North Africa have become the primary target, and the Pirates of the Caribbean have not been mentioned.

At first, Georgiana thought that Lucien Bonaparte had accepted bribes from whom, but then Julian Ufral told her that this was a rule in the financial circle, and that France would pay off the arrears of the previous court before they could accept bribes. loan to France.

France's credit is so bad that it needs the credit of the Dutch to do business. In 1799, Britain also tried to occupy the Netherlands with its remaining troops, but this plan failed. Ceylon is a colony of the Netherlands, but it is now occupied by Britain and France. Of course, the two countries have to give some compensation to the Duke of Orange.

The Amiens peace talks are over and there will be negotiations in Berlin. British newspapers are now concerned about whether Napoleon will open up France and the markets controlled by France, which is directly related to his economic policies.

Julien Ufral told her that the information was not without cost, and instead of asking Georgiana for an office, he asked her if she had been shaving Napoleon lately in the morning.

Julian had a beard, except for his lips, and his chin was clean-shaven.

She didn't tell anyone about this, after all, it was much more important to prevent Napoleon from selling Louisiana in a flash than letting the "King" stand up for her.

She had no way of knowing if this was another ploy by William Pitt Jr., who had promised not to sell Louisiana to third parties when France acquired it.

Louisiana is far away in the New World, and is closer to the United States than France. Is it really cost-effective for France to send troops to take it back?

Georgiana, after all, was not as energetic as a young man, and she returned to the residence at dusk, and just as she sat down, Michel came in, knelt at Georgiana's feet, and put her head on her knees.

"What happened?" Georgiana asked.

"I heard people say that Santo Domingo is a terrible hell. Before my father set sail in Toulon, the two Swiss brigades mutinied when they heard that they were going there." Michelle said softly, "Dermide's mother is going that place."

"She didn't go there voluntarily," said Georgiana, as lightly as she could. "Paulina was taken aboard."

"He wanted to write to Mom," Michelle said. "I wanted to write to Dad, too."

"Go and write, I'll see if I can think of a way." Georgiana stroked Michelle's hair.

"Although Dad supports slavery, he is a very nice person." Michelle said pitifully, "He is willing to go for us and the country where no one wants to go."

Georgiana did not comment on this.

Because she also thought that the planter's daughter was difficult to get along with.

"The reality is cruel, long and savage. Even a man wants to escape from reality. Your letter will be a kind of comfort to him." She said softly, "Although I think he may need you more support from his side."

"Will you support the first ruling?"

"certainly."

"Then can you go to St. Luke's Palace tonight?"

"You little rascal..."

"Please, I have written a letter and I still need someone to deliver it." Michel immediately hugged Georgiana's leg and said, "If you are going to see him tonight, he may not go to Malmaison."

"He is Josephine's husband after all." Georgiana said helplessly.

"He doesn't want to stay in that house covered with black gauze everywhere. He once quarreled with Josephine. Since they are going to be covered with black gauze, why did they have to install so much in the decoration?" Michelle looked up at Georgiana "Aren't you afraid of Marie Antoinette?"

"She's not scary, child. She's just an ordinary woman. She made some wrong choices and ended up decapitated. She's a fool, but she's not harmful. She's just asking Josephine why Lying on her bed instead of strangling her directly." Georgiana smiled wryly, "I'm actually scarier than her, do you know how I will deal with Jeanna?"

Michelle nodded.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"If I don't make the same mistake as that woman, you won't punish me."

"Sometimes even if we don't make mistakes, punishment will still come to us. Adultery is actually a matter between two people, but Octavian only punishes women. According to Roman law, I should be sentenced to death."

"Don't say that, there is always thinking about death."

"In fact, I really want to be a virgin of Vesta, to protect the sacred fire and make it pure, but I didn't expect it to become like this. I should be locked in the basement, leaving a lighted lamp, waiting for people outside The basement was sealed so I could slowly suffocate."

"Stop it!" Michelle said eagerly.

Georgiana smiled and stroked Michelle's face, "I just saw a piece of pure white silk with a gold border in the warehouse. Go and get it. I will wear it to meet him at night."

"You're going to dress up as the Virgin of Vesta?"

"Have you ever seen such a virgin as I am?" Georgiana stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare supper.
