Chapter 2043 "Watchtower" (1)

The fleet was joined by some more midway, and when it arrived at Boulogne-sur-Mer, it already numbered 50 ships, and it was already night.

Napoleon disembarked here, and there were already many people waiting on the beach. There was a large military camp on the beach in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Bonfires were lit along the way from the military camp to where Napoleon disembarked, and orange flames were lit on the beach. They were constantly being blown out of shape by the sea breeze, as if they would ignite the clothes of the soldiers standing next to them at any time.

Georgiana did not ask why he did not continue sailing under the cover of night, because Boulogne-sur-Mer already belonged to the province of Calais and the Strait of Dover, and it would be very risky to continue sailing.

Maybe you have to turn overland when you get here. There is still a thoroughfare from Boulogne-sur-Mer to Calais. However, there are two people standing in the front row of the welcoming team. They are Admiral Latouche Tver, and from Colonel Viuel of the Netherlands, the former fought against Nelson, and although it was only a local conflict, he won the victory.

Colonel Viyuel has many years of experience in naval warfare and is very familiar with the sea conditions in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The two were only briefly introduced, and Napoleon entered the military camp surrounded by the garrison generals. As for Georgiana, she originally planned to stay where she was and spend the night on the boat, but she was taken to a country manor by a group of people. , it was not far from the base camp, and for a moment, she thought she was under house arrest.

It wasn't until she was invited to observe how to prepare a portable altar and saw the priest in white that she felt at ease. After the portable altar was arranged, all military and civil personnel living in the manor would attend mass.

Sure enough, they all returned in the middle of the night. Bonaparte did not stay in her room, and they went out again the next morning. As usual, he went to the nearby highlands and gave a speech there.

It is said that Caesar conquered Britain from that place.

Then he ordered a wooden house to be built on the high ground, which was large enough to house an astronomical telescope, which could be used to observe the sky and everything that happened on the sea.

Le Guerre, who was brought here by Georgiana and followed inexplicably from Rouen, came in handy. Although he was a utopian architect, he was a carpenter and architect. In addition, Napoleon also planned to build an artillery position here. In the future, many mortars with exaggerated caliber will be set up here, which can cover 3000 toas, which is about 3 nautical miles. In addition, some cabins for the navy generals and the navy minister will also be built, so we arrived at Bro The first day of nirvana was spent like this.

Wherever Napoleon went, he stirred up a frenzy. Men called him Caesar, and everyone who could see him blushed with excitement. Especially when the new artillery was being tested, the sound it made was so loud that it The ground beneath their feet was trembling, but instead of fear, they felt like they had gotten a new toy.

The next day they used a flat-bottomed boat as a target. Napoleon personally operated a new cannon and hit the target with one shell. The compliments were gushing.

Georgiana didn't accompany him. Why was she, an English woman, watching that scene?

She wants to find a place to build a church. The next time she comes to Boulogne-sur-Mer, she won't have to build a portable altar to hold mass. Moreover, there will be a hospital near the church. One day, this place may become a battlefield, and then civilians will

will be involved.

Trespassing should not be allowed in churches and hospitals, but the French often looted things in churches when they were in Italy. Later, Napoleon shot several people to stop the chaos.

While in Verona, someone also attacked the hospital where wounded French soldiers were staying.

If war is like a running chariot, Napoleon's army is a fast and powerful chariot that discards its baggage. But soldiers are also human beings, and they also need to eat. Napoleon's way of supplying supplies was to rob local residents.

, faced with such an army, Tsar Alexander adopted scorched earth warfare and let the cold Russian weather deal with them.

Even if it were Georgiana herself, she would be like Alexander. If Napoleon's troops landed in England one day, she would burn London or other cities, but Britain does not have such cold weather to assist.

She will not intervene in the Muggle war like Henry Potter. This has nothing to do with the International Secrecy Act.

In the past, Li Hongzhang signed a trade treaty with Japan and sent Japan urgently needed supplies before the war between the two countries. He may have misunderstood the so-called spirit of contract by Europeans.

Contracts can be broken. Sidney Smith's agreement was broken once in London, and later the two sides fought another war in Egypt.

The French were not completely wiped out, nor did they surrender collectively. There was no benefit in letting the British and French armies continue to fight. It was profitable to transport the French expeditionary forces away by ship, although the French took away most of the loot.

, didn’t the Rosetta Stone stay and be taken back and placed in the British Museum?

Only those who have demonstrated sufficient strength are qualified to negotiate conditions. Of course, there should be no scruples in betting on the fate of the country in war. Even if you risk your own life, you can gain fame for generations to come.

But Georgiana is a woman, and women are not allowed to gamble. "In the past" she saw some female mummies in Venice.

Being recognized by their creditors, they can still survive in society.

Women may be able to do whatever it takes to get revenge like Princess Medea, but they are not as good as men in risking their lives. When they specialize in a craft, even if it is a woman who usually cooks, most men will eventually become top chefs.

Women like Figuer choose to join the dragoons like men, but in appearance she is not much different from men, and she is just as tall and strong.

Georgiana did not choose the path of head-on confrontation with men. She believed that this was to attack the stone with an egg.

Napoleon also had a soft-hearted side. He was very kind to his old subordinates. The groom who drove her carriage used to be a member of the Guards. Later, when he reached the age of retirement, he was reluctant to leave Napoleon and tried his best to stay.

Not all people are stone-hearted, she hopes to awaken this side of their humanity, which is beneficial to women, and love is the most suitable weapon for women.

Teresa asked Talyan to rescue her from prison, and he launched the Thermidor coup for her. In Georgiana's eyes, this was romance.

She remembered the French meal she had at Victor Hugo's house. She was very worried at that time. Even though she was eating delicacies stolen from Mount Olympus, she didn't feel very romantic. Fortunately, Severus invited her to dance.

This failed date was saved.

She almost forgot that the reason why all of this happened was because she saw the "future" in the crystal ball created by Nicoléme. A commotion throughout Europe was about to happen, and she was said to be the "link" of it all.

She is just a "ball of thread", not the root of everything, so she is powerless to change some things.

If a signed contract can be broken, even one engraved on stone, there is an oath that cannot be broken, and that is an unbreakable oath signed by magic.

Severus had to take care of Draco for the rest of his life until the day he died.

So if Draco died before him, did he fail to fulfill his oath and be punished?

Hope appears and disappears in the painful dizziness, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

If she were to build a church, its walls would be full of hollows that looked like bullet holes but also allowed light to shine through, leaving mottled spots of light on the dark walls.

It must be beautiful, even though it's not Gothic, Baroque or Norman.

It should be built of cement, so that arbitrary curves could be pinched, and it should be called the Church of Saint-Pierre. There is a church of the same name in Geneva, where Rousseau spent his childhood and Luther preached.

.

As for why she thought of this? Maybe this is the so-called divine revelation.
