Chapter 2154 Flower Struggle (62)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote in "Review of the Two Political Works of the Abbe de Saint-Pierre":

Each country believes that it is in everyone's interest to weaken an arrogant enemy who wants to dominate the world, not to mention that in addition to this common interest, each country can also obtain the individual benefits it wants to achieve. Although each country is worried about weakening an arrogant enemy,

After a tyrant, another tyrant will appear, but he will not give up the individual benefits he wants to obtain because of this.

Georgiana put down her book and looked at the sunshine outside the window. If everything went well, they would arrive in Calais today, and then it would be her turn to be busy.

If possible, she would even like to read the "Nick Poirot" travelogue.

After Grindelwald, the tyrant who tried to rule the world, was imprisoned in Nurmengard, which was built to imprison those who opposed him, the new "tyrant" Voldemort appeared in England, which Grindelwald had never touched.

After Voldemort was defeated, the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback appeared again. His rule was characterized by bloodlust. He wanted to infect as many people as possible, bite as many as possible, and create enough werewolves to conquer the wizards.

.If that day really comes, it’s hard to say whether he will have the ambition to rule the world.

"What are you thinking about?" Bonaparte walked up to her and asked after washing.

I’m thinking about how to prevent you from becoming everyone’s “prey”.

Georgiana looked at him and thought, but didn't say anything.

“I was thinking of the summit after Calais.”

"need help?"

"This is an urgent issue that needs to be resolved at this summit." Georgiana said.

"France doesn't need a secret police." Bonaparte adjusted his sleeves. "And Aurors."

Georgiana said nothing, then he kissed her on the cheek and left the cabin.

The nature of Aurors is different from that of Venice's secret police and uniformed guards, but she doesn't think he can listen.

Secret rule is a very bad way of governing, and no outstanding ruler needs secret rule.

However, agents work in the dark, just like the dangerous people who also operate in the dark.

Although Bonaparte did not arrest and execute the person in charge of the shipyard last night, he still gave a speech:

Yes, you have done a lot. The ships you built have filled the Republic with joy, but this does not mean that you no longer need progress. The French people will bring light to the whole of Europe, but when people talk about us, they will not

Would you say that we are good at winning, but not good at using victory? How to use victory and peace, gentlemen?

The British factory model is based on maximizing efficiency. Time is gold and people are just part of the factory machine.

What's more, this model is still closed to the outside world and requires industrial spies to spy on intelligence. Bonaparte wants the workers and designers of these shipyards to change the previous model and create a new and efficient production model. She seems to see

A dwarf arrived and was waving a whip at the sheep.

Napoleon was indeed not a benevolent ruler, but he was good at taking advantage of victories and treaties. He even left a "back door" in the treaty to facilitate future wars.

Louis XVI won the American War, but failed to make proper use of this costly victory. What benefits did France gain from the Treaty of Paris?

Many people love peace, and Georgiana does the same, but the natural disasters of 1816 will lead to famine.

Whether in the East or the West, people's stomach capacity is about the same. During the Qianlong period, the population was about 100 million. It is impossible for everyone to eat rice. The yield of rice grown in two seasons in Guangdong is not enough. High-yield crops in the Americas such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are not enough.

Promotion is imminent.

The promotion method used by Chen Hongmou was persuasion, which was definitely much slower than forcing farmers to plant potatoes. Louis XVI also used a trick to promote potatoes, asking some soldiers to pretend to guard the potatoes, and then leave after dark so that others could steal them. Georgiana used

The best way is to let agriculturists hand over advanced farming methods to farmers, but advanced technology also requires money. If farmers take loans to buy land, they will not be able to purchase farm tools and livestock.

Cooperatives allow farmers to raise funds to buy what they think they need, which is protected by the Civil Code. Cooperatives are different from joint-stock companies. Bullying of small shareholders by large shareholders is like not giving them dividends when it is time to distribute them.

Promoting the "Civil Code" is not just a way of printing, there are other ways. After the army wipes out the bandits, the next step is "civilian rule".

Sacrifice 1% of the gross national product of steel in exchange for the disorderly expansion of British steel and competition with the textile industry. In this way, even if the trade treaty creates tariff barriers, the influence of the textile industry lobby on Parliament is reduced.

, the British would not tear up the peace treaty so easily, form an anti-French alliance, and continue the war with France.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows the importance of steel. War cannot be separated from steel, but they don’t know the 1% ratio. They just heard that steel is very important. Napoleon listened to the slander of the British female spy and actually exempted steel from tariffs. Will they?

Do you want to defeat this "foolish king"?

If Napoleon was the lifelong First Consul, then this problem would not be a big problem. The new constitution was approved by the French people's universal suffrage, and the people supported him to become the lifelong First Consul.

But now he is not. Just like George Washington, the length of his term can determine the term of his successor. Even Emperor Qianlong reigned for 61 years. Because Kangxi reigned for such a long time, he used the reason that he could not surpass Kangxi.

, passed the throne to Jiaqing.

If Napoleon dies or is removed from power by a coup, Europe may plunge into 50 years of civil war.

The war brought by Gustav lasted for thirty years, and the war between Britain and France lasted for a hundred years, but no one would believe this "prophecy".

If a tyrant is weakened, a new tyrant will be born. No one will give up the benefits they want to obtain, and eliminating a tyrant is beneficial to everyone. Who doesn't want to be a hero who defeats evil?

On the contrary, killing a virtuous monarch will be resented by people and called him a careerist and a "regicide". In order to oppose him, people will form an alliance. It is beneficial to everyone to weaken an arrogant enemy who wants to rule the world, not to mention this In addition to common interests, each country can also obtain individual interests it wants to obtain.

The population of Europe makes it difficult to form a large-scale army, so mercenaries are so active on this land. They have no loyalty at all, and the battlefield is their "playground".

When the war reaches a certain scale and affects production like in Siam, and food becomes scarce, bark and grass roots will become food, then people will remember the benefits of peace.

It is difficult to find someone who completely understands you, not to mention that most of the time your enemies understand you better than your friends.

This is why we need "enemies" who reflect us as truly as a mirror and will not tell white lies because of various concerns.

At this moment, the boat moved, and the farewell team on the dock played music. In the sound of music, they began their next journey.

It would be great if everything went well. Did any of the people on the shore say "bon voyage" to them?
