Chapter 1702 The Goddess’s Secret Word (Forty-seven)

On the Go board, the star position in the center is called "Tian Yuan", which comes from the meaning of "Tian Yuan Point" in ancient Chinese astronomy.

If the chess piece falls in Tianyuan, it will definitely be advantageous to conquer the piece. However, from the etiquette of playing chess, it is very impolite to play the first move in Tianyuan.

During World War II, France suffered a disastrous defeat and was divided into "Vichy France" that surrendered to Germany and "Fighting France" that went into exile.

"Fighting France" established a new government in the African colonies and launched a counterattack with African soldiers, resources and wealth. It can be said that African materials not only helped the French pay off all the loans they owed the British, but also supported 400,000 French troops.

, 300,000 of them African soldiers, led to the recovery of Paris.

Hitler originally planned to destroy Paris, but this idea was really too crazy. Pétain changed his approach and demolished the houses that did not meet Nazi aesthetics or damaged them to the point of being uninhabitable. During Hitler's reign, 6 million citizens were homeless.

Their families can return. More than 200 billion francs of industrial products have been looted by the German army. Three-quarters of industrial raw materials have been looted. 40% of agricultural products have been looted. The Vichy government still has to pay more than 600 billion francs to the German army.

At the end of the war, France owed a debt of 1.8 trillion francs to Britain, the United States and other countries.

It can be said that West Africa played a vital role in the survival of France, but how does France, which was rebuilt after the war, treat Africa?

In 1995, a bomb exploded in the Paris subway, killing eight people. The murderer was from Algernia, Niger's neighbor and another country rich in oil and wine.

Africa supports France's recovery. According to etiquette, France should provide technical support to make these West African countries live a better life. At least build a hydropower station so that they can have electricity. However, not only women are reluctant to leave bustling Paris, but men are also reluctant to leave.

Let's go, stay in the capital and bask in the sun. It's so comfortable to just lie down and make money.

They were unwilling to endure hardship, nor were they willing to invest capital and technology in the colonies, and were even less willing to bear the reputation of "cruel colonizers" and "slave owners", but they still had to make superficial appearances. Therefore, after the war, France politically let

These West African countries have become independent, but their economies still adopt a predatory rule. West African countries sell iron ore, oil, lead ore, olive oil, grain and other raw materials to France in exchange for African francs, which other than France,

Waste paper that is not recognized by the country is used to buy domestically needed steel, diesel, gasoline and other materials that need to be processed at high prices. "Slave owners" are basking in the sun in Paris parks. Countries in the CFA franc system and

The people are being squeezed. Even if the franc is abolished and the euro and the CFA franc are infinitely convertible, the countries in which the CFA franc circulates will still have to hand over 50% of Germany's foreign exchange reserves to the French treasury.

Algeria was the "family property" left by Napoleon. After Napoleon's defeat, tens of thousands of French soldiers were unwilling to work under the Bourbons, so they set foot on Algerian territory and occupied the land after several months of war.

Later, the French army went south and penetrated into the hinterland of the desert, starting a new round of expansion. It can be said that Algeria was the beginning of French colonization in Africa. France later established cities here, and a large number of French immigrants also entered here with the archaeological craze. Since it was founded the earliest, it invested

At most, Algeria has become France's most important colony, and can even be said to be a French province.

After World War II, wars of independence broke out across Algeria. At this time, the French political arena surprisingly reached a consensus and resolutely suppressed the uprising. Until de Gaulle came to power, he believed that the uprising would be unable to be suppressed sooner or later, so he announced an end to the suppression and allowed Algeria to become independent.

Political independence does not mean economic independence. Laziness is an original sin. Niger is located in central and western Africa. It is a landlocked country in West Africa with backward infrastructure. It has no seaports and no land routes. It is like an isolated island in the sea. Even if it wants to transport crude oil, it must rely on the French.

.This actually has another solution, which is to help Africans build some infrastructure to make their lives easier and get rid of their current backward and primitive life. Niger’s water sources are poor, and half of them fail to meet drinking water standards. Not only do some

Famine, and malaria.

What should have been done by the French themselves was done by others. Instead of following the example of the Anglo-Saxons in plundering the colonies, the French could not keep their own family property. Who is to blame?

Other EU countries watched with cold eyes. Germany was not allowed to have an army after its defeat. The size of the active-duty military was expanded by taking advantage of the Cold War. As for the UK...it's hard to say. Other Nordic countries expect them to send troops, so it's better for them to pay for hiring.

The U.S. military has the highest number of soldiers, weapons and equipment, and military quality. But just like the French use CFA francs to squeeze the African people, the Americans are also using dollars to squeeze other countries.

They also wanted to vote against the Iraq War. Who wouldn't want such a good reputation? The problem is that the economic and military lifelines are in the hands of the Americans, so they were kidnapped and put on that tank.

The refugee problem is faced by the whole of Europe. Terrorists are also entering the country with the refugees. Even some ordinary refugees who are not terrorists originally have worrying living conditions in Europe. Even if the church is open to homeless people for free,

No followers of Muhammad would live in it.

Luxury goods are very gorgeous and dazzling, but this thing is very hateful. Fushou ointment was regarded as a luxury product in the 19th century, and only the rich could afford it. It was precisely because it was given a beautiful meaning that people took it

Treat it as a gift or a commodity, rather than something harmful, such as scorpions, poisonous snakes, etc., and keep them away.

Victor Hugo once said that in front of history there are two robbers, one is France and the other is England.

Promoting to let go of hatred and be tolerant to others is a religious matter, and secular matters should be solved using secular methods.

Now that Tianyuan Zhengzi has made the move, he has no regrets. People who are well-informed can see that this move will bring chaos, but they don't know how much chaos it will be. After all, there may be an "ally" holding US dollars behind him.

I will take this opportunity to cause trouble in the Eurozone.

Theoretically, the guillotine was burned by the Paris Commune in 1871, but the method of execution was not beheading.

Marx said that Napoleon was one of the few men with sound brains.

Taking IQ tests is actually very humiliating, but wizards didn't think much of it when they gave Muggles intelligence tests in the 19th century, although the results showed that wizards and Muggles had almost the same intelligence.

So far, Severus has come into contact with all the Muggles from the 19th century. Only this Mysterious Virgin appeared in the 20th century. According to Alette, the goddess of harvest was worshiped here before, and Lester

The "Mr. Gray" in the Ranchi family tomb said that this sculpture was moved to him as a neighbor in 1806. It was the work of the Italian sculptor Canova.

Eugene also provided wrong information. The beach square was not built by Napoleon to welcome Marie Louise, but the child had his own difficulties. As for the information provided by Mr. Gray, it was related to the letter from the church that thought Napoleon was dead.

.

Ancient people believed that the fall of stars was related to the fate of great men or emperors and generals. It was a sign of great misfortune and usually represented the end of life.

In an era when the starry sky can be observed through Hubble, people certainly do not believe in these "superstitions", but one must know that the starlight has been transmitted tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years ago, and the news that humans consider "late" is

In fact, it has already been sent out.

Time has no meaning to ghosts. All they have is memory. Everyone remembers wrongly sometimes, including documents.

The glass balls inlaid in the dome were originally decorated as fruits on the vine and on the cloak of Dionysus, but were later re-decorated by the monks into decorations on the dome.

There is an art pulpit in the Uffizi Palace in Florence. The purpose of this pulpit was originally conceived to house collections and evoke the poetry of nature. It is octagonal and many original masterpieces are displayed in front of red velvet.

But the "Venus of Medici" is a copy of a bronze sculpture, and there are many pearl shells on the dome. They look like water droplets, because Venus was born from water.

It was Napoleon's favorite, he took her from Florence to Paris, and later with his defeat, Canova took her back.

Some people can live by their memories, and some can't.

Severus lit a cigarette in this humid space that was almost like a cellar. This was a habit he learned in order to rebel against the White Wizard.

A few puffs of smoke were blown out with his breath, but they lingered in the air, rising slowly in a spiral shape.

Both Arlette and Baldwin's eyes widened in surprise.

However, the smoke dispersed very quickly, as if what they just saw was an illusion.

"Ah, I remembered it!" Arlette said excitedly. "After the SS removed the remains of the Roman King, the other brothers lit the incense burner to pray for him. At that time, the smoke coming out of the golden incense burner was also spiral-shaped.

"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lucius said unkindly.

"I...I thought it was..."

"Superstitious?" Severus helped Arlette continue.

Arlette said nothing.

"I have an incense burner, but no spices." Severus said slowly, "There is also some suspicious grease."

"What do you think will happen if you light it?" Baldwin asked.

"The worst-case scenario is to wake up all the scorpions in the 'eggs' on the dome, and we may be besieged." Severus said lightly, "Have you seen the mummy?"

"Of course I've seen it," said Baldwin.

"I'm talking about the American movie The Mummy. They demonized the scarab, which represents resurrection. Those bugs will burrow into people's bodies."

"Ugh~" Baldwin exclaimed.

"Do you think those scorpions can get into people's bodies?" Lucius asked.

"I don't know." Severus took another puff of cigarette. "I'm not a arrogant Orion. I don't want to be stung by a Scorpio."

"Then you won't try?" Lucius asked again.

"I'm wondering," Severus said, "whether it's worth it."

What do students at Hogwarts see when they take astronomy classes and watch the stars at night?

I hope it’s not like looking at shooting stars and making a wish
