Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1555 "Cooper"

  "Do you know who killed Grand Duke Ferdinand of Parma?" Gil Gobert said, "I heard you can predict the future."

  "Do you know what this is for?" Georgiana asked absently.

  She is reading documents about Switzerland. For three centuries, Switzerland has been divided into 13 cantons with different characteristics and constitutions. The central states, or forest states, still maintain the ancient Teutonic customs and hold their own people's assemblies to decide things. Every governor is fully armed to attend the assembly.

The prosperous plains are under the hereditary control of wealthy citizens’ families. In addition to these sovereign states, there are also some states with very unclear status, including Geneva, Basel, Bien, St. Gallen, and Alsace. The ancient imperial cities of Mulhouse, Grizon, the Duchy of Nachatel and Valais on the Upper Rhone. Finally, there are subordinate regions: Allgäu, Turgau, Ticino, Vaud, etc., all of which are governed to varying degrees by the rulers of the states.

This is the ancient Swiss Confederation. It is somewhat like a chaotic alliance of mountain clans, plains dwellers, and urban citizens. Napoleon’s Malmaison Agreement did not weaken Switzerland, but Switzerland was born to be a country suitable for the federal system. He just obeyed public opinion and gave each state the power to formulate its own constitution.

   "We are betting." Gobert said, "I think it was a woman."

  Georgiana smiled, "Because poisoning is a woman's means?"

  "I think it is the Queen of Etruscans." Gobert said, "Do you think the Führer will hand over Parma to Louis I."

  Georgiana was taken aback.

   "Do you think I'm crazy, too?" Gobert asked with a smile.

  "How did she do it?" Georgiana asked back, "I remember that Grand Duke was surrounded by French people."

   "I thought this is what you women are good at." Gobert said, "Ottens gave birth to a baby boy, his name is Napoleon-Louis-Charles, on the night you went out to play."

  Georgiana was expressionless.

   "There is a legend in the palace that the head of state is the true father of that child."

  Georgina threw the documents onto the table with a "bang".

  Ten months ago, Napoleon was busy with the founding of Italy in Lyon. Did he have time to spend time with his stepdaughter?

   "What did Louis say?" Georgiana asked.

"He didn't want to admit this child at all." Gobert said. "I heard that Louis I had epilepsy. Mary Louisa had a son and a daughter. If Louis I were to rule the Duchy of Palma, his son would be Carlo Ludovico will become the next Duke of Parma, and because he is young, this Spanish princess will become the de facto ruler of Etruscans and Parma."

   "She is not welcomed by the locals." Georgiana said coldly.

   "The same is true for you. Many people don't like you, but the last time you suddenly took refuge, you made a lot of noise." Gobert said.

  Georgiana was confused again.

   "Who said I took refuge?"

   "I heard the priests in the palace say that. You went to a monastery. Many people are willing to testify for you. You are not as crazy as the newspaper said."

  Retreat is a spiritual practice of the Catholic Church. It is said that every year believers will take a period of time to leave the worldly life and learn introspection. This is indeed better than mental confusion and suddenly wandering into the forest and the wild.

  She slapped the table with anger.

   "What's wrong?" Gobert asked inexplicably.

   "Do you think it is easy to pay back the debt?" Giorgio Anna said angrily, "Especially Spain and Portugal have religious courts."

  "I think you can not think about it for now." Gobert said, "The Swiss issue involves the UK, and the agent named Moore is the supporter behind Reading."

   "I know what's the use of these?"

"You know Sir Meri. I think you can explain to him a misunderstanding. The friendly relationship between France and Russia is not based on the Mediterranean and Turkey. He does not need to regard us as a threat." Gobert said, "The messenger itself has Title spy."

   "You mean Meri sent information to London..."

   "I didn't say that." Gobert interrupted Georgiana.

  Georgiana looked down at the information again.

  Democracy is indispensable in the Swiss forest cantons, but the urban aristocrats want to maintain the old system.

  In 1798, the supervising government imposed the French regime on Switzerland. Only three years later, Switzerland fell into war at the rate of a coup d’état once every four months.

  French withdrawal also followed the opinions of the Swiss Republicans, who felt they could solve their own problems. Now the Federal Party, where the old nobles belonged, has become the majority, and the Unification Party has become a minority and shrunk in Lausanne.

   "What did the head of state tell you?"

  Georgianna remembered the possibility of a marriage between Britain and France, which he had said in a dream.

  If Napoleon also supported the Federal Party like the British, it would be easy to explain.

  The republic has only one constitution. Unlike a federal system, which can have many ministries, the constitution of the republic should be based on the public interest, not for the benefit of its own state. This is the dilemma caused by the new constitution of Toussaint Louvidul. If Napoleon allows him to make a constitution successfully, then the political system of the French Republic will change, regardless of whether Louvidul recognizes Santo Domingo in the constitution or not. French colony.

  If he recognizes the French Constitution, then he cannot be the first ruling of Santo Domingo, let alone for life, but Santo Domingo can have local autonomy, independent in finances, taxes, and even military command. The church left her with the governor’s judicial power, but he only confirmed the death penalty. If Santo Domingo abolished the death penalty, then the governor would not even have this power, just a display.

As long as Dusan is in charge, even if he is still Saint Domingo's first ruling, he will lose all his power, only retain the title, without the right to rule, and give him several million francs a year, which is admired by everyone in France. Wealthy life.

   Constitutionalism means independence, and he seems to have plans to become king, but he killed his nephew. Hereditary is to find someone who is related to him by blood. Does Du Sang have any other relatives?

Even if Santo Domingo succeeds in independence, France will cut off trade, and the United Kingdom will turn its target to Cuba to seize the cane sugar market that Santo Domingo has given away. It will also add an American Louisiana, who has found something that can be grown in the subtropics. Sugarcane varieties too.

  Spain and Portugal have their own economies like this, unless you find Russia, Prussia and Austria.

  Although Prussia is now occupying Hannover, it was also coerced by Napoleon. The foreign minister of Prussia obeyed Napoleon's words, and probably because Prussia thought he was still the Prussia during the time of Frederick the Great.

  As for Austria, there are only two seaside ports. If it weren't forced to do anything, who would come up with the idea of ​​extracting sugar from beet, how easy it is to squeeze sugar cane.

  According to the current relationship between Britain and France, the "Peace of Amiens" may be torn up at any time. Even if France without sea dominance takes back Santo Domingo, the products on that island will not be shipped to France.

  That’s why Napoleon asked her what happened to the sugar factory.

   "You have to find a way to save Dusan's life, don't let him die." Georgiana said weakly.

"The former Minister of War, Louis-Auguste Le Tonne de Bretheil has returned to his country, and he is currently in close contact with the Royalists." Gobert said indifferently, "but he is loyal to Louis Sixteen, the two living brothers of Louis XVI didn't like him."

   "Then what's the use of him doing this?" Georgiana asked inexplicably.

  "Do you still want a pure soul?" Gobert said blankly, "If you want to know, I can tell you."

   "No, I don't want to listen." She shook her head.

   "I need money." Gobert said.

   "How much do you want?" Georgiana asked helplessly.

   "600,000." Gobert said.

  Georgiana did not ask carefully, she signed the check directly.

  "You shouldn't trust me." Gobert said, looking at the check on the table.

  "Do you think I should ask you why you want so much money?" Georgiana smiled and said, "Or I want to suspect that you are in your pocket?"

  Gobert did not answer.

"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." She said coldly. "I have read an article. The author thinks that soldiers should be allowed to avenge their comrades at the scene of the incident, otherwise the soldiers' souls will never be peaceful, and you I've also heard that most of the generals who died this time were Morrow's comrades-in-arms. Do you understand what is meant by comrade-in-arms?"

   "I have heard a lot of stories about being betrayed by comrades in arms." Gobert sneered and said, "Don't take people too noble."

  "What kind of person a person becomes does not depend on his ability, but on his choice. You look at Leon, and you tell me, besides women and power, what is he particularly obsessed with?"

  Gobert did not speak.

   "You are safe if you are greedy for money." Georgiana whispered, "After all, you are not a woman, Gobert."

  　 This chapter is made up. In history, how Archduke Ferdinand died without an illness is one of many secrets. There is no clue at all. Perhaps he really died of illness.
