Chapter 1498 Like a dream but as real as a dream

Sweden is a member of the Hanseatic League. The first purpose of the Hanseatic League was to suppress piracy, combat privateering, and eliminate unreasonable tolls. Later, it evolved from a simple economic alliance into an economic, political, and military alliance. Many cities

Join the alliance in order to obtain commercial benefits or obtain security guarantees.

In order to gain British support, the Bourbon royal family gave all overseas colonies to Britain. Through the Treaty of Amiens, Britain returned all colonies to France, including Guadeloupe. Napoleon always fought for every inch of territory.

It is possible for him to claim the island of St. Barthélemy from Sweden.

The so-called neutral countries are often not absolutely neutral. The British Royal Navy believed that Denmark was secretly supporting Napoleon, so it bombarded Copenhagen. Copenhagen is located in the Oresund Strait, which is the choke point of the Baltic Sea.

Whether it was the Seven Years' War, the Anglo-French War or the early days of the French Revolution, Denmark did remain neutral.

Denmark not only has Andersen's fairy tales, but also the Danish royal family. The life of marrying a royal family is not as "fairy tale" as outsiders think. Caroline Matilda, the youngest sister of King George III of England, married Christian VII

It was only after his death that he learned that he had a mental illness. Her marriage was not happy. The king lingered in Copenhagen's romantic places all day long. He and his entourage unscrupulously beat citizens on the streets, broke windows, and destroyed furniture for fun. He even publicly

Declaring that he could not fall in love with the queen, he eventually fell into a state of mental coma, experiencing symptoms of paranoia, self-mutilation and hallucinations.

Sometimes dreams can be confused with psychotic hallucinations. Napoleon may have thought he was crazy and thought Georgiana was a fictional character created after his schizophrenia.

Many geniuses have problems in this area. John Nash Jr., the discoverer of game theory, suffered from schizophrenia. In order to treat the mental illness of Christian VII, the reformist and radical Johann Friedrich Struensee became the king.

consultants and personal physicians.

He has a quick mind and a clear mind. He taxes gambling and keeping high-quality horses, punishes regressive behavior, rebuilds the judiciary to reduce corruption, and builds state-owned barns to stabilize food prices. Compared with the crazy king, he is undoubtedly more charming.

Now, living alone and neglected, the young and beautiful Queen Caroline Matilda began to have an extramarital affair with Struense. The Queen almost fell in love suddenly after several years of unhappy marriage.

I can’t wait to reveal my youth and joy to the world.

She repeatedly exposed her disheveled clothes to the maid after Strunzer visited her in her room. The two lived together openly in the summer villa, behaved intimately at court balls, and later lived in a luxurious chalet in the palace.

In the building. Although one is upstairs and the other is downstairs, there is a secret staircase connecting them. The queen later left a princess. People's separation from Strunzer was finally ignited. This consultant had an idealistic impatience.

, his large-scale reduction of the power of the nobility made him many enemies. In the end, opponents from all walks of life came together to oppose Struense and the king, making people outside the court believe that the king was not crazy, but was only controlled by others.

Queen Mother Juliana Maria also participated in the dissenters' coalition.

The process of the coup was very simple and not thrilling at all. In 1772, after a palace masquerade, the opponents broke into the palace of Christian VII and forced him to sign an arrest warrant. Afterwards, they led the army to arrest the couple.

The lover caught him.

The king regained power and was put on a golden carriage by the people to parade in Copenhagen. The court trial began. The queen denied that she had anything to do with Struensee, and Struensee defended himself. He denied the accusations against him by the court.

, claiming that he had no intention of disobeying the laws of the country and usurping the royal power, and that his friendship with the queen was innocent.

But he was executed three months later, and the king divorced Caroline Matilda, who, although retaining her title, eventually left Denmark and was exiled to her brother's home in Denmark.

The German Elector of Hanover spent the rest of her life in Celle Castle. She died of scarlet fever in 1775 at the age of 23.

Christian VII was the titular king from 1772, and Denmark was controlled by Christian VII's stepmother, Juliana Maria, his half-brother Frederic, and the statesman Ovie. In 1784, Denmark

The eldest son of Lorraine and Christian VII came of age. He was educated in the education method advocated by Rousseau's Emile and grew up with two common boys. He learned from his uncle, the regent Frederic, through a duel.

He gained full power. In 1788, he abolished serfdom. However, he had differences with the British on the issue of shipping neutrality. This was related to his pro-France and pro-Napoleon, which led to the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801.

He did not choose as his wife her stepmother Juliana Maria and the Prussian princess supported by King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Instead, he chose the German Hesse-Kassel family, which had close marriage ties with the Danish royal family and the British royal family.

The princess was his wife, and she had been giving birth to him continuously since 1790. Unfortunately, no son survived, so even though she was a princess, Princess Marie-Sophie had to continue to have children until she gave birth to a male heir.

Of course Gobert would not let Bonaparte climb up from the outer wall of the tower. If the First Consul of France fell to his death like this, then his sin would be great.

Bonaparte always came to her residence after dark. Georgiana didn't want to be Caroline Matilda. Young girls are prone to pregnancy, but they are also prone to falling into the sweetness of love and doing stupid things. Even the people in the castle

Everyone kept secrets, but Georgiana still gave orders, especially to the inquiring Matilda, not to show off about it everywhere.

What's more, civilian life is conducive to keeping a clear mind, at least away from mental illness, so she will also accompany Bonaparte to visit incognito among workers together with Duloc.

The French Parliament is also discussing the Factory Act passed by the British Parliament, but it is difficult to pass the restoration of the seven-day rest system.

Not all workers hope to restore the seven-day rest system. They hope to earn more income by working more. Some families have six or seven children. How will the family live if the father does not work?

To accompany a leader, a great man must make sacrifices. He is not only the father of a family, but also the father of a country and a nation. If Napoleon wanted to be a human being, he still had a decent personality, but he also knew that he could obtain gains through deception.

Many benefits.

He always tried his best to show his positive side in front of Georgiana. She also learned about what happened after the riots in Cairo, Egypt from Belle.

Belle was very afraid of him. When Bonaparte appeared in front of Belle for the first time, she was so scared that she knelt down.

It is really incredible for people in the 21st century to see this scene. How could anyone kneel down, but that scene happened right in front of Georgiana.

Sultan Kebir was like the sun when he was in a good mood. He did not blame Belle for telling Georgiana those shady things. He let Belle stand up on her own. With such a sage and mighty look, Georgiana wished she could hit her with a stone.

Give him the sword.

So the story about Napoleon standing guard instead of a soldier who fell asleep while standing guard is really just a story. If a soldier really fell asleep while standing guard and was seen by Napoleon, he would definitely be dealt with according to military law and would not be shot, but he would be shot.

It is inevitable that the military police will invite you to drink coffee.

The Vikings who expanded westward formed Denmark, and the Vikings who expanded eastward formed Sweden. The simple way to put pressure on Sweden was to support Denmark. Gustav IV was frugal, pious but mediocre. In 1800, he

Norrköping convened a parliament, but after encountering fierce opposition, it stopped convening. It would have been easy for Napoleon to coerce him, but if the king was pushed into a hurry, he might join the anti-French alliance and impose restrictions on French trade in the Baltic Sea.

cause impact.

Even Alexander of Russia had to "listen attentively" to Napoleon and show a respectful attitude, regardless of whether he was beaten deaf by Queen Catherine.

With just a reminder, Napoleon could do the unimaginable, and that was the case with railroads. Georgiana didn't remind him that he could fly across the English Channel in a hot-air balloon. Instead, he launched a hot-air balloon filled with books.

Let it fly away at the celebration.

Maybe this is God's will.

"What are you thinking about?" As soon as he finished chatting with the workers, Leon held her hand and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"It's nothing." She smiled and said, "I'm just in a daze."

He kissed her in the street, and Diloc turned his head away.

"Long live France," he said happily after kissing her.

She giggled.

"why are you laughing?"

"No one will believe it."

"Tell me."

"My French lover is actually you." She pinched his ancient Greek nose. "They will think I'm crazy."

He said nothing and seemed to be deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Georgiana asked.

"I don't believe there are women like you in the world." He said softly, "It's like a dream."

"Then keep dreaming," she said, and kissed him.

Just like on the streets of the 21st century, every couple who comes to Paris will do the same.
