Chapter 1486 The Battle of the Island Owners
Chapter 1487 volunteer
Toussaint Louverture should be a big man. In comparison, the Corsican is not only short, but also very thin. If the two of them are asked to duel, I am afraid no one will agree.
Compared with other outrageous duel methods, Georgiana felt that France and Saint-Domingue each sent three people, and Rome and Alba Longa each selected the three best warriors from their own city-states for a duel.
The city-state will gain the right to rule the defeated city-state. Of course, the French cannot agree to hand over the rule of France, so the bet is exchanged for the rule of Saint-Domingue. The warriors of Saint-Domingue won.
Saint-Domingue will be independent, and they can accept the slaves who came here from the United States to seek freedom, and continue to live in poverty but freedom.
When Georgiana was Pomona and taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she often wore clothes covered in mud. Many men first choose a clean woman when choosing a mate, and then hope that she can behave elegantly, not necessarily that she
very beautiful.
Severus didn't mind her dirty look because he himself had greasy hair. She was the best gardener in Britain, and the herbs she grew were the best, just enough for the youngest.
Used by the Potions Master and Head of Slytherin.
They have always cooperated well, but what makes her most happy is the resurrection potion. The mandrake she cultivated brought the petrified students back to life.
Napoleoni once said to her, if herbs are not used on humans, what use are they?
But if you ask her if she would like to go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and continue to teach children to take care of and collect magic plants in the greenhouse, she would not be willing.
She would rather go to Elba Island and build an illusory casino in the capital city called "Metropolis", where nobles, wealthy people and even the royal family from all over the world can go there. It will become the second Venice, with everywhere on the island
They are all exquisite buildings.
Sometimes companionship and support are not enough, you also need encouragement and motivation, which is what Napoleon is good at.
If even the leader is desperate, the soldiers will have even less motivation. When the slaves of Saint-Domingue fought for freedom, they were invincible. If they were independent, it would be another matter. The main consumer group of their crops was still
In the West, Britain has clearly stated that it wants to develop in Cuba, and in their grand plan, Brazil and France will not want their things. Neutral countries may try...
These will be solved later. France has lost 20 generals, and they will not let it go. But the Poles have made it clear that they will not suppress slaves. They are unwilling to fight for such a "cause".
Even they themselves lost many comrades and officers.
If she were in another situation, Georgiana herself would choose to be like the Poles, but this solution was the only one she could think of.
Islands such as Saint-Domingue and Guadeloupe are all in the Americas, so far away from the mainland. As long as the peace is broken and Napoleon's navy does not have sea control, it will still face a situation of being blocked by the British navy. At that time, those stationed there will
The French expeditionary force in the Caribbean will face a much more dangerous situation than in Egypt.
She wondered whether the people of Saint-Domingue would listen to the Polish mediation, or whether it would be better not to let them intervene in the dispute. For example, Georgiana herself regretted meddling in the Muggles' business.
After experiencing this incident, she became even more disgusted with Hermione Granger's move to spread free ideas to house elves. Did she ever think about how much bloodshed this would cause, and how such a minister of magic would lead wizards to destruction?
of.
She needed to sort out her thoughts, organize them into words, and then hand them over to Chief of Staff Bertie. She could no longer rely on her identity to hand the documents directly to Napoleon like last time. It would be better to do this kind of overstepping as little as possible.
.
In the army, the company commander also has to obey the brigade commander's orders. It is impossible for the company commander and the brigade commander to be "equal" so he refuses to execute the order and then directs the company according to his own ideas.
The mayor of the commune must also listen to the county magistrate, the county magistrate must listen to the county guard, and the county guard must listen to the central government. This is the fastest way to establish order. There may be other geniuses who will come up with better ideas, but in the
In this era she lives in, it is impossible to achieve absolute equality for everyone.
Only before death, everyone is equal. Whether a slave or a general, if he is hit by a bullet, he will die. There is also the law. She had underestimated Toussaint Louverture before. Since his constitution requires everyone to be equal before the law,
And if he still abides by the local laws, then he can bring a written code. There are so many lawyers and jurists in France. After coming to France, he can argue with these people one by one, provided that he keeps his life.
Napoleon did this when he dealt with Barras. He asked Josephine to lure the Barras and his wife to have breakfast at her house. Barras was so cautious that he chose not to go and let his wife go. As a result, she became Napoleon.
of hostages.
It was impossible for Bonaparte to let Toussaint Louverture continue to lurk in the plantation. She wanted to find a place to imprison Toussaint Louverture so that he would not be killed by the guards in prison.
.
She was busy typing on the typewriter. She didn't even write a draft this time, but inspiration came from her mind like a fountain.
It is impossible to remain absolutely neutral. Saint-Domingue must choose a side and cannot change sides, otherwise no one can truly trust either side.
It is absolutely impossible to restore slavery. Napoleon was a Jacobin before and it was the Jacobins who liberated those slaves, so he absolutely cannot restore slavery.
After she finished writing, she wanted to find someone to read it for her, but found that there was no one else around. Neither Matilda nor Figuere were good at this field, let alone the townspeople and Mamluk slaves from Sèvres.
Already.
There is no shortage of literati in Paris, but there are very few available at this moment. A candidate pops up in her mind, Fonta, who wrote the eulogy for George Washington, but why should he help a man who has lost power?
She sighed deeply and slumped in her chair.
Georgiana also caused a lot of troubles of her own, such as mining and railway problems. There were conflicts between the new rich and famous and the remnants of the previous dynasty, maybe they wanted to nationalize steel like tobacco.
In the past, steel was only used for military supplies, such as cannons, muskets, and a small amount of civilian use. After applying steel to buildings and roads, this is a chicken that can lay golden eggs. She made Leoncour and the others tolerate it many times.
, they will not give in this time.
When Junod was the governor of Paris, he could arrest British people and put them in military camps. Marmont did not have this power, but he should not be underestimated.
At this time, Leoncourt was the governor of Seine County and had administrative power in Paris. Perhaps because of this, he was able to recruit the former deputy prosecutor of Seine Province and the current senator, who also had a "royalist" background.
Ludrell pulled over to his side.
Since Lederer used allusions to Caesar and Gaul, he should not have minded building an ancient Roman aqueduct in Paris. Gallicism played an important role in the disputes between politics and religion in the Middle Ages, but Gallicism
It would be a disadvantage for the Byzantines from Corsica to raise their heads.
If Georgiana had been an ambitious demagogue, she would have told those who were not convinced that two foreigners could not govern their beloved France, even if Napoleon's dream was to be buried beside the Seine.
A neutral country wants to give the same benefits to different parties. She gave one document to the French and one to the British. This is "fair", but in the eyes of some people, what she did is undoubtedly traitorous.
.
The content on the document is not a secret, and if the French don't use this method, then it is just a piece of waste paper.
This time she didn't dare to do the same thing again.
"Matilda!" shouted Georgiana.
Not long after, her inquiring maid appeared at the door.
"Send someone to ask Lord Ludrell to come over, and remember to bring purple roses." she said to Matilda.
"Madam, do you want me to do this kind of errands?" Matilda pouted.
"That's an honored guest. It only shows respect if you go to invite him. If it weren't for the inconvenience for me to go out, I would go there myself." Georgiana said angrily.
"It's better for me to go," Feige said. "Should I go in a high-profile manner, or quietly?"
"Take a Mamluk," Georgiana said to Figel, "and put on your dragoon uniform."
"Then I'm going too," Matilda said.
"You're going to get your chance to be in the limelight again!" Georgiana said with a smile.
"Let me go~" Matilda said coquettishly.
"It would be very embarrassing if people don't want to come." Georgiana said, her smile reduced.
Now Matilda shut up.
"Thank you for coming at this time, Lieutenant Feigl." Georgiana said to her sincerely.
"You're welcome, ma'am." Figel said with a smile, then turned and left.
