Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1573 Life and death sniper (3)

   "This is the bronze horse you are talking about." Amidst the chirping of seagulls, Gon Saiyi looked at the bronze sculpture above St. Mark's Basilica and said, "You said he didn't want to be emperor. I still believe that he doesn't need victory..."

   "What do you think Louis XVI gained in the War of Independence in North America?" Severus asked suddenly.

  "This...a colony?" Gonsai asked.

"The colony that France lost in the Seven Years' War has not returned after the War of Independence." Severus curled his mouth. "Louisiana is still coming back from Napoleon. In the current history books, there is no American War of Independence. For the French, it seems that the Americans themselves won the War of Independence."

  Felix Young concentrated on licking the ice cream, seeming indifferent to what the two said.

"The French spent more than thirty times the military expenditures of the Americans in the War of Independence. France made a huge contribution to American independence. Do you know what the Americans did during the Second World War?" Severus Asked again.

  Gonsai was silent.

"The Americans made a lot of money during World War II, and they also earned prestige. Then they signed the Bretton Woods Agreement. The U.S. dollar was pegged to gold and other currencies were pegged to the U.S. dollar. France paid such a high price during the War of Independence and did not get it. What good, you can understand that this is a failed investment." Severus said, "There is only victory without trophies. What do you think the civilians would think? Napoleon showed the victory products to the exhibition, and established himself with public opinion and real objects. Prestige, if a person has a strong prestige and the ability to maintain a strong prestige, then he can rule the country as he pleases, such as Robespierre, when his prestige is still there, he can be put to death with the reign of terror Many people, and when his prestige was wiped out and power fell, he was quickly guillotined by those who had supported him. He needs the confidence, spoils and territory that victory brings him, which will consolidate his prestige. After all, he is not a hereditary monarch. The legitimacy of his power has always been questioned. Every triumphant triumph is like a wonderful show. It is taken to fight for power and highlight his personal reputation. You know Kang Nari Fudge? If it weren't for the return of the Dark Lord in the end, what he did in the Triwizard Tournament would actually have the same effect."

  Gon Saiyi opened his mouth and said nothing.

"This kind of prestige and lack of successful support will soon disappear, just like a soap bubble, so he lacks a sense of security. In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, he needs to constantly hold power, but the trophy he really wants is not a bronze horse. Nor are they famous paintings and sculptures."

   "Woman." Gong Saiyi said at this time.

  Severus smiled again.

"Is not it?"

   "If he really liked beauties so much, he would have had many mistresses like Louis XV."

   "Then what does he want?"

   "I told you that it is love. It is not only the love between men and women, but also the love of the people for the monarch. You can understand it as the kind of love that is similar to maternal love, unconditional, selfless dedication, and fanatical love."

  Gon Saiyi smiled and shook his head.

   "Do you think it's incredible?"

   "Everyone is calm." Gon Saiyi said with a sigh.

"Flowers cover the abyss. He thinks he has become the sovereign of Europe, but many people compare him to the figure who caused the most damage to Europe after Genghis Khan. He is not just Attila in Venice, but Attila in Europe. On the issue of alliances, he retains the feeling of citizenship, thinking that the alliance formed by marriage is indestructible. The daughters of the Austrian royal family were taught to make sacrifices for the country since they were young. You can understand that they are trained to be qualified. "Political commodities", but their identity is princesses, they are soulless and at the mercy of others, which can satisfy his desire to control, especially when there are people who oppose him everywhere, but this kind of woman cannot hold him for him. In the rear, when he was defeated in Russia, there was a coup d'etat in the rear, and he had to leave the army and return to Paris."

  "I thought it was Queen Louisa who gave birth to the King of Rome and forgot to die." Gonsey said.

"Pomona did the same before. She really hopes that the wizards can continue to multiply. She has always hoped that I can find a young woman to marry." Severus said blankly, "She treats herself and us all. As a fertility machine, I later woke her up by scolding her."

  "What did you say?" Gong Saiyi asked curiously.

"The German'birth farm' I used, women should not have children for the country, but for love. The spirit of'selfless dedication' she learned from the white wizard was overthrown. The white wizard herself actually I don't like Muggles very much."

   "Why?" Gong Saiyi asked.

Severus did not speak. After a while, he said, "The Tsar burned Moscow down. If Napoleon had searched for the food left in Moscow, his army would not starve to death in the ice and snow, but he did not search for the only food left in the city. , Leaving them to the civilians, do you think he did it right?"

  "Are you talking for him?"

"I will look at a person objectively, just like I will look at the white wizard and the dark lord objectively, but I admit that I will look at a person too well, which caused me to almost die in the end. I think he wanted what he wanted. It is still prestige, he is not bad in the evaluation of the Russians, even if the price he paid is the lives of hundreds of thousands of French people."

  "Not a Frenchman, when he expedition to Russia more often..."

   "Poles." Severus said with a sneer. "He took away one hundred thousand elite troops from Warsaw when he was passing by Warsaw, thanks to his "Mrs. Poland."

  Gonsai did not speak.

"That woman is not only Napoleon’s mistress, but also his intimate contact. She has completely fallen to his side. A general like Napoleon, he wants to control an army of hundreds of thousands. You know if she really wants What will it do if Poland is restored?" Severus asked.

  Gonsai shook his head.

   "What about you?" Severus asked Felix.

   "Let the two big men fight first, and when they both lose, I will pick up what they grabbed." Felix said.

"Like this kid said, Poland can provide supplies to the French who retreat, and it can also provide building materials to the Russians who rebuild Moscow. If both sides receive her favor, it will give her a little affection, even if it is no longer. The country can also make a fortune, don’t forget, the final national boundary is determined through negotiation."

  "Where can a woman think so much?" Gonsey said impatiently.

   "In history, Napoleon often took Valevska to openly pair up, I'm sure he didn't dare to treat her like that." Severus gritted his teeth and said.

   "Why?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"He will be regarded as a pro-British faction. He is a famous patriotic general." Severus said with a stiff face. "He is like Picasso. Women will bring him creative inspiration, but he is likely to be the woman behind him. No love, only Josephine, if he didn't want to marry a princess, he wouldn't divorce her, Valevska wouldn't even count as a spoils."

  "Do you think...she is a trophy?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"I told you that he was a slave." Severus said slowly. "This slave only obeys a cold-hearted master. He wrote to Josephine before, and Josephine didn't reply much, so he obeyed her. After he had status and power, he wrote to Josephine, and she returned immediately, and she was very enthusiastic. She lost that kind of initiative."

"How did you know?"

   "I like to open other people's letters." Severus said sarcastically, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone who likes to collect manuscripts."

   "Snape, how can you be so calm?" Gonsai asked.

"I'm working." Severus said flatly. "Actually, Napoleon in that world almost died. It was Pomona who saved him. At the time, John used a cannon to aim his carriage. His whereabouts are very predictable. , Just like the assassination on December 24, 1800."

   "Because Josephine wants to go to the theater?" Gonsai said.

  Severus looked at the bronze horses again. "When the horses pulling the cart can decide their destination, it's the owner who tells them to go where they go."

   "Your metaphor is disgusting." Gonsai accused.

   "The easy way to think of is often not a good idea. Do you know what is the biggest loophole in the way you just mentioned?" Severus asked Felix.

   Felix shook his head.

   "Poland has already obeyed, and there is no need for Napoleon to send people to persuade them to send troops. He asked Valevska to go to Vienna and let Metternich remain neutral. This is to protect his own back..."

   Felix looked at Severus dumbfounded, as if he didn’t understand what he said.

   "I will let you know Hagrid someday." Severus said to Felix, "You will understand what I mean."

  "He is a member of the Order of the Phoenix just like you?" Gong Saiyi asked.

   "I hope I am not." Severus said dryly, as if he had just chewed a rock biscuit.

   "Snape, I seem to understand why she loves you so much." Gonsai said, "Although you don't look good."

   Severus sneered, pulling Felix and Gonsai to apparate together.

  　 Napoleon’s early wars saved more money than Louis XVI, and later he was a bit squandering the French population

  　　 Every time I see that piece of history: French farmers are very happy to get land from Napoleon, but their son is gone

  　　 The "little chief" from the common people became a cannibal.
