Chapter 1986 "Eagle" and "Dove" (4)

Le Havre, which has not experienced war, looks like an Italian city at first glance, with red roofs like Lyon. The difference is that the roads here are straight, not as winding as Lyon.

When the patrol team entered the city, not only cheers were heard, but bells were also ringing from the port.

Napoleon rode at the front, waving to the cheering crowd.

The same situation happened in Rouen. Georgiana also felt very excited at first, but now that she was holding the letter from the Ministry of Magic, she didn't feel that way at all.

Britain's first female Minister of Magic, Artemisia Lufkin, is a Hufflepuff. Will she be a match for a French pure-blood noble?

This dispute is still related to Georgiana. Magical creatures have appeared, and there are also suspected purifiers. This is a problem for both the international secrecy law and the stability of wizard society.

It is difficult to become a female politician. If she does not succeed, it is still a question whether there will be female ministers in the UK in the future. Anyway, France will probably not have female ministers.

Georgiana is the main witness and also a person involved. She really needs to come forward. In comparison, she has no interest in the ball.

She glanced at Leila du Renard, who had just boarded the carriage. She was sitting in the corner in a polite manner. Madame Barrion had already returned to her husband's carriage.

When in the restaurant, Napoleon was careful to avoid "Gaza". People who lack geographical knowledge may not be able to tell the difference. What happened in Jaffa is still a taboo, and there was no publicity in the newspapers.

Some things are too dirty for a pure girl and will stain her soul. She'd better worry about the ball.

"Has the list been drawn up?" Georgiana stretched out her hand to Feryl.

But it was Matilda who took out the list. She didn't ask in detail. She looked at the list. Almost everyone at the table was on it. In addition, she also saw an extra name, Father Dupuy.

, he was Napoleon's principal when he was studying in Bruenne and currently manages the library for Napoleon.

It was strange that he did not sit on that table, probably because his position was just that of a librarian, and his title was not comparable to that of the Minister of the Interior and the President of the National Industrial Association.

She had met him and he was a decent man, but nothing happened after that. After all, they had never spoken, they just knew each other.

"Raise him up one level." Georgiana scratched Father Dupuy's name with her fingernail and handed the list to Matilda.

"Yes, ma'am," said Matilda.

"Can you get the list of people for the party tomorrow?" Georgiana asked Leila.

"Isn't it tonight?" Leila asked.

"Today?" Georgiana said in surprise.

Leila nodded.

"Madam is already very tired. The party will be held tomorrow." Matilda said coldly.

Leila hesitated to speak.

Georgiana glanced at the sky outside, it was already a little dark.

"It's almost six o'clock." Felicity took out her pocket watch and said.

At this time the carriage passed a dilapidated church.

Britain is weaponizing yarn. The child laborers who are sent to factories are not workers, but apprentices. After all, parents will be laughed at if their children go to work in factories. However, the parents' wages are higher than those of child laborers. In this way, the factory

The main payback speed is slower.

So someone came up with an ingenious idea. The factory owner signed an apprenticeship contract with the manager of the parish orphanage and promised to provide food and accommodation for the children. These apprentices became one of the important sources of labor for the textile factory.

Compared with orphanages in this era, the orphanage where Tom Riddle lives is really good. She sincerely hopes that there will not be another Voldemort in this era.

It didn't take long for them to turn a corner, and now they could see the harbor. The pier was full of boats with their sails furled.

"Look, ma'am, it's the Pomona!" Alice suddenly said excitedly.

Georgiana also looked out and saw that it was indeed the ship given to her by Bonaparte.

"I give you a task." Georgiana said to Leila, "postpone the welcome party until tomorrow."

"What?" Leila said in panic.

"If you need help, you can go to Diloc. If you can't solve the problem, you will go back to Rouen tomorrow." Georgiana threatened.

Leila seemed at a loss, after all, she was only 16 years old.

But Georgiana did not compromise. By this time the carriage had stopped and they arrived at the town hall in Le Havre.

It is probably the most magnificent building, with a blue roof and a geometric garden in front. City officials are lining up at the door.

"It's too late." Leila said with a sad face.

Georgiana ignored her and got out of the car after the car door was opened. The fishy sea breeze blew a little cold on her body.

Maybe people are really different and she couldn't enjoy this overseas interview as much as an outing.

She followed other officials into the city hall. As soon as she entered, she heard thunderous applause. The hall was brightly lit, and well-dressed dignitaries were greeting her with smiling faces.

Le Havre is equivalent to Liverpool in the UK. How many of these people were engaged in the slave trade?

She was very anxious to get away and looked back at Leila, who seemed to have not figured out a way yet.

Georgiana breathed a sigh of relief and touched the wand hidden in her sleeve. At this time, Bonaparte was greeting the officials.

These people included both men and women, and not many were young and beautiful. It seemed that Josephine still had some sense of proportion.

In this situation, she has no intention of playing Quidditch. However, Artemisia's first task is to establish the International Magical Cooperation Department, establish trade standards, establish specifications for items, and hold a Quidditch World Cup during her term of office.

, and sending British representatives to the International Confederation of Wizards.

This means that without her efforts, Britain would not be represented at the International Confederation of Wizards.

Why does she feel weird?

She didn't know why men were so keen on power, or whether Napoleon regretted it after taking power. Anyway, she was bored to the extreme.

"It's over here." Colonel Loston walked up to her and said, "We have to leave for Belgium."

She looked at him.

"I asked my wife to stay with Josephine. I thought she could help me get a position as a diplomat in London." Colonel Loston shrugged helplessly. "You have seen what kind of attitude General Andre has."

"Yes, I know." Georgiana sighed and said, "He hasn't decided whether to fight or make peace?"

"Of course he hopes for peace. You are not as good as Josephine in this regard. She always makes Napoleon happy." Loston said, "But the king does not need comedy. Tragedy is the classroom of great men."

"I don't want it to turn into a tragedy," Georgiana said.

"I think so too, you know the factory law..."

"I know," said Georgiana.

"Then do you know that this law was proposed by Robert Peel Sr.," said Loston. "Last year, another plague broke out in Robert Peel Sr.'s factory. This was the first plague since the plague broke out at Radliffe Factory in Lancashire in 1784."

The second time, the law was drafted by a doctor named Percival, who was a social reform activist, and the first reading was passed with the cooperation of the two of them."

"Where's the second reading?"

"Robert Peel Sr. became the defender of factory owners." Loston stared at her. "I think I have an idea of ​​what the British are like."

Georgiana smiled sarcastically.

At this time, surrounded by the crowd, Napoleon went up to the second floor. It was like a palace in Venice, very suitable for dancing. Looking out from a window on the second floor, he could just see the harbor not far away. At this time, people on the ship

The signal lights were all on, and the lights reflected in the water looked like stars in the sky.

"When do we meet?" Rabastan Lestrange asked.

"I was tired today and blew out all those lights."

Rabastan glanced at her.

"Yes, ma'am," Rabastan said, turning and leaving.

Not long after, a strong wind suddenly blew from the sea, as if a storm was coming.

The signal lights on the ship were equipped with wind protection devices, but they all went out for some reason, and then there were no lights to watch during the lighting ceremony.

"Leila!" Matilda suddenly shouted, and it turned out that the delicate girl had fainted.

Georgiana suppressed her laughter and asked the people around her to carry her away. By the way, she asked where she would be stationed tonight and followed her.
