Chapter 1573 Life and Death Sniper (3)

"This is the bronze horse you are talking about." Gong Saiyi looked at the bronze sculpture above St. Mark's Church and said while the seagulls were chirping, "I still believe you when you say he doesn't want to be the emperor. He doesn't need to win..."

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

"This... colony?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"None of the colonies that France lost in the Seven Years' War was returned after the War of Independence." Severus curled his lips. "Napoleon still wanted to return Louisiana. In the current history books, there is no mention of the American Revolutionary War."

Regarding the French, it seems that the Americans themselves won the War of Independence."

Felix Young concentrated on licking the ice cream and seemed indifferent to what the two people were saying.

"The French's military expenditure in the War of Independence was more than thirty times that of the Americans. France risked its life and made a huge contribution to American independence. Do you know what the Americans did during World War II?" Severus

asked again.

Gong Saiyi was silent.

"The Americans made a lot of money and gained prestige during World War II, and then 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 in the War of Independence but failed to gain

What are the benefits? You can understand that this is a failed investment." Severus said, "There is only victory without spoils. What do you think the civilians will think? Napoleon displayed the spoils of victory and established himself with public opinion and physical objects.

Prestige, if a person has strong prestige and the ability to maintain strong prestige, then he can rule the country as he pleases. For example, Robespierre, when his prestige is still there, he can execute him through the Reign of Terror.

Many people, and when his prestige was ruined and his power fell, he was quickly guillotined by those who once supported him. He needed the confidence, spoils and territory that victory brought to him, which would consolidate his prestige.

, after all, he is not a hereditary monarch, and the legitimacy of his power has always been questioned. Every triumph is like a wonderful show, which is done to win power for him and highlight his personal reputation. You know Kang

Nally Fudge? If the Dark Lord hadn't come back in the end, what he did in the Triwizard Tournament would have had the same effect."

Gong Saiyi opened his mouth but made no sound.

"This kind of prestige will disappear quickly without the support of success, just like a soap bubble, so he is insecure. In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, he needs to constantly hold power, but the trophy he really wants is not the bronze horse.

Nor are famous paintings and sculptures.”

"Woman." Gong Saiyi said at this time.

Severus laughed again.

"Is not it?"

"If he really liked beautiful women so much, he would have had as many mistresses as Louis XV."

"Then what does he want?"

"I told you, it is love, 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 mother's love, without conditions, selfless dedication, and fanatical love."

Gong Saiyi smiled and shook his head.

"Do you think it's incredible?"

"Everyone will be calm." Gong Saiyi sighed.

"The flowers covered the abyss. He thought he had become the suzerain of Europe, but many people compared him to the person who caused the greatest damage to Europe after Genghis Khan. He was not only Attila of Venice, but also Attila of the entire Europe.

On the issue of alliance, he retained his citizen sentiments and believed that the alliance formed by marriage was indestructible. The daughters of the Austrian royal family were taught to make sacrifices for the country from an early age. You can understand that they were trained to become qualified

'Political commodities', but their status is that of princesses. They have no souls and are at the mercy of others. This can satisfy his desire for control, especially when there are people who oppose him everywhere, but this kind of woman cannot keep it for him.

On the rear, when he was defeated in Russia, there was a coup in the rear, and he had no choice but to abandon his army and rush back to Paris."

"I thought it was Queen Louisa who sacrificed her life to give birth to the King of Rome." Gongsei said.

"Pomona was like this before. She really hoped that wizards could continue to multiply. She always hoped that I could find a young woman to marry." Severus said with an expressionless face. "She took care of herself and us.

She was treated as a fertility machine, but I later scolded her to wake her up."

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

"I used the German 'birth farm'. Women should not give birth to children for the country, but for love. The spirit of 'selfless dedication' she learned from the white wizard was overthrown. The white wizard himself actually

I really don’t like Muggles.”

"Why?" Gong Saiyi asked.

Severus didn't speak. After a moment, he said, "The Tsar burned Moscow. If Napoleon had plundered the remaining food in Moscow, his army would not have starved to death in the ice and snow, but he did not plunder the remaining food in the city."

, leaving them to civilians, do you think he did the right thing?"

"Are you speaking 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 led to me almost dying in the end. I think what he wanted

It's still prestige, and he's pretty good in the Russians' estimation, even if the price he paid was the lives of hundreds of thousands of French people."

"Not a Frenchman. When he went on an expedition to Russia, he was more..."

"Poles." Severus said with a sneer, "He took away one hundred thousand of Warsaw's elite troops when he passed through Warsaw, thanks to his 'Polish Lady'."

Gong Saiyi said nothing.

"That woman is not only Napoleon's mistress, but also his close liaison. She has completely swung to his side. A general like Napoleon wants to control an army of hundreds of thousands. You know if she really wants to

What will happen if Poland is restored?" Severus asked.

Gong Saiyi shook his head.

"What about you?" Severus asked Felix.

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

"As this guy said, Poland can provide supplies to the retreating French, and at the same time, it can provide building materials to the Russians who are rebuilding Moscow. If both parties accept her favor, they will give her a little favor, even if they no longer

The country can also make a fortune, don’t forget, in the end, national borders are determined through negotiation.”

"How can a woman think so much?" Gong Saiyi said impatiently.

"Historically, Napoleon often took Valewska openly to have sex with her. I'm sure he wouldn't dare to treat her like that." Severus gritted his teeth and said.

"Why?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"He will be regarded as an Anglophile, but 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 probably the woman behind him.

None of them love her, only Josephine. If he hadn't wanted to marry a princess, he wouldn't have divorced her. Valewska is not even a trophy."

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

"I told you, he is a slave." Severus said slowly, "This slave only obeys a cold-hearted master. He used to write to Josephine, but Josephine didn't reply much, so he obeyed her.

Later, when he gained status and power, he wrote to Josephine, and she wrote back immediately and very enthusiastically. She lost that kind of initiative."

"How did you know?"

"I like opening other people's letters." Severus said sarcastically, "Come on, I will take you to meet a man who likes to collect manuscripts."

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

"I'm working." Severus said calmly. "In fact, Napoleon in that world almost died. It was Pomona who saved him. At that time, John pointed a cannon at his carriage. His whereabouts are easy to predict.

, similar to the assassination on December 24, 1800."

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

Severus looked at the bronze horses again. "Whenever the horses pulling the carriage can decide the destination, they will go wherever their master tells them to go."

"Your metaphor is disgusting." Gong Saiyi accused.

"Easy solutions are often not good ideas. Do you know what is the biggest flaw in the solution you just mentioned?" Severus asked Felix.

Felix shook his head.

"Poland has already submitted. They will send troops without Napoleon sending people to lobby. He asked Walewska to go to Vienna and asked Metternich to remain neutral. This is to protect his own retreat..."

Felix looked at Severus confused, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"One day I will let you meet Hagrid," Severus said to Felix. "You will understand what I mean."

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

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

"Snape, I seem to understand why she loves you so much." Gong Saiyi said, "Although you are really not very good-looking."

Severus sneered, pulling Felix and Gongsei to disapparate together.

Napoleon was much more economical than Louis XVI in his early wars, but later he was a bit squandering France's population

Every time I see that period of history: French farmers were very happy when they obtained land from Napoleon, but their sons were gone.

The "little corps leader" who came from the common people turned into a man-eating demon king.
