Gerald said on the sidelines, "War? The Yankees are cowards! It won't be long before we can drive the Yankees out of our land."

Rhett raised his eyebrows habitually, took out a cigar, and said, "Ah, I still stick to my opinion, the hope for the south is very slim."

Gerald was very angry and couldn't help saying: "What do you know? Speculators!"

Rhett ignored Gerald, but turned to Margot: "Miss Margot, what do you think?"

Marge smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What about the truth, what about the lie?"

"Of course the truth is, as a lady from an upper-class family in the south, I just need to focus on the manor. The land is our foundation. As for the lie, I once read a sentence in a book that is very Philosophical."

"Please say."

"War is for politics, and behind politics is the shadow of power and money intertwined." Mag said, "The most famous and well-known is the Battle of Waterloo .”

The Battle of Waterloo proposed by Margot is really a pun.Those who know little about history will only know that on this day in Waterloo, France and the anti-French coalition fought.And those who really understand this period of history obviously know about another war without gunpowder.In just a few days, Britain's national debt changed hands several times.It can be said that without the honorable Regent, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, even if Britain won the Battle of Waterloo, it would be tantamount to losing the war.

That Mr. Nathan Rothschild was really good.If Her Majesty the Queen Mother Regent hadn't been aware of his plot and had taken measures in a timely manner, and if Her Majesty the Queen Mother Regent hadn't married Prince William, who was only the Duke of Clarence at the time, Britain would have had to wait to issue national debt. Others winked.

More than 40 years have passed since the Battle of Waterloo. Among the people present, only Margot, Rhett Butler and George Clark understand the whole story of the battle. Ellen may know a little more than Gerald.As for the others, they only know superficially.

Gerald was not happy.

Because he couldn't understand what his daughter Margot was saying at all, and he didn't know why Margot smiled at Rhett and George.But this did not prevent him from understanding what Margot had not said.

Margot is not optimistic about the south either!

Gerald was very angry.

He was ashamed that he had such a timid daughter.

Although Scarlett is out of her mind because of Ashley, she has always been a two-faced person who can pretend.Otherwise, Ellen would have found out what was on her mind long ago, and her obsession with Ashley Wilkes would have become the talk of the neighbors long ago, not as it is now, only a few hate her , The little girls who often stared at her every move whispered behind her back.

Therefore, even if half of his mind was mourning his love, even if half of his heart was mourning his unfortunate marriage, Scarlett still didn't get distracted too much.

At least Scarlett found out about his father's displeasure with his sister Marge.

It was a godsend.

Scarlett has always regarded women other than his mother as his enemies, and Margot not only broke his confession with Ashley, but also taught him a lesson. For Scarlett, this is a great shame .

Scarlett could not stop thinking of teaching the younger sister a lesson.These days, Scarlett regretted it all the time. That day, in the library of Twelve Oaks Manor, why did he care about Ashley and not slap this sister?She had wanted to give this sister a long time ago.Who made this sister so arrogant?

Scarlet raised a smiling face and said, "Margo, what book are you reading? What war, power, and money, the teachers in the girls' school don't necessarily know about it? The teachers in the girls' school don't know how to teach this..."

Scarlett knew very well that Gerald, who was already very angry, would definitely help him teach his flamboyant sister a lesson as long as he let his father know that this kind of thing did not conform to the norms of a southern lady.

But she forgot that she is not the only one here.At least Suellen was keeping an eye on her.

As soon as Scarlett finished speaking, Suellen said, "Scarlett, how do you know that the teachers at the girls' school don't know this? Didn't you get expelled from the school? Margot is the smartest in the nearby counties." girl."

In fact, Scarlett was the only one of the sisters who went to a district girls' school, which once made Suellen jealous.Of course, she didn't drop out of school, although she did only study for one year.Suellen would say that, of course, to dismantle Scarlett's platform and deliberately disgust Scarlett. .

Just as Scarlet hated this sister, Suellen also disliked Scarlet everywhere.

Scarlett immediately glared at Suellen.

It never occurred to her that Suellen would tear herself down.

What made Scarlett even more unexpected was that Rhett Butler actually said: "I also admit this, not only in the nearby counties, but in the entire United States, there are not many women who are as smart as Margot. "

Scarlet blurted out: "Isn't even Melanie better?"

Scarlett's heart is Ashley Wilkes, how can he not be jealous of Melanie Hamilton who is Ashley's fiancée?

Rhett raised his eyebrows, finding it extremely amusing, while Ellen felt greatly ashamed.

On the contrary, George Clark said: "In my opinion, Miss Melanie is as attractive as Margot. However, that Miss Melanie is full of charm because of her pure heart, while Margot It is charming because it is full of wisdom. These are two completely different charms. Like Margot, Miss Melanie has a strong heart. But I am not sure whether Miss Melanie's heart can pass the test of war, But I believe that my Margot will be able to."

The author has something to say: In real history, the Rothschild family relied on the issuance of national debt by the masters of Britain and France, which led to a series of political and social problems.

Therefore, some people say that World War I broke out because Europe wanted to get rid of the control of the Jews.
