Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1582 Life and Death Sniper (12)

  On the list of entourage, Georgianna added Stephen's name.

In addition to art and music without borders, capitalists also have no borders. The current situation is very complicated, and bankers are afraid to invest at will. In contrast, investing in DuPont’s gunpowder factory and French agriculture is relatively safe. Bankers We are also willing to invest money.

  Investing in the handicraft industry in France is very risky because they will face competition from British goods. If only from the perspective of profit and tariffs, reducing tariffs can increase imports, and reducing prices to achieve the goal of small profits but quick turnover is beneficial in the short term.

However, in addition to economics and politics, political economy has to consider political issues and long-term interests as a ruler. France is not a military government after all. Beet sugar production is an industry that can change the world. However, the French are sometimes that bad. Knowing the flexibility, just like asking French farmers to grow sugar beets, it would be impossible for French sailors to target the ship's hull instead of rigging. Even the British said it would be useless.

  This is because some people are used to using the right hand, and it is so difficult to train him to use the left hand. Stephen said that he is not afraid of leaking secrets, but he can appear to be very knowledgeable.

If you say that the French are inflexible in their brains, it’s not right. Reselling is easy. With the left hand in the right hand, the money is easily made. The key is this process. This is not just a question of profit, but also the cotton in the eastern Mediterranean and the weaving in Lyon. Weaving machines, thousands of cotton yarn workers, engineers, steel mills, steel workers, processing industries, etc.

  The slaves of Santo Domingo only think about freedom. If they do not get Santo Domingo, the British can go to Cuba to develop. With the addition of sugar from the Antilles, the British sugar merchants have the right to set prices. Fortunately, the French are not as fanatical about sugar as the British. The key point is that Santo Domingo is the key to the Gulf of Mexico. The British restricting American trade in West India is also part of the blockade. The French occupied Santo Domingo. Coupled with the British control of Cuba, if they maintain an alliance, they will impose an island chain blockade on the Americans in the Gulf of Mexico.

Napoleon’s considerations are of course different from those of ordinary people, but businessmen also have practical problems for businessmen. This is a trade war. Trade wars are often conducted through high tariff barriers and non-tariff barriers. This kind of game is very complicated. In comparison, The British demand for Portuguese Porto wine is higher than for cotton products. Napoleon closed all ports in Portugal, including Porto. Then the Porto wine has to go to the Freeport of Lisbon to ship. Why waste the cost and time so much? Isn’t it possible to open the port of Porto directly and load the ship on the spot?

  It takes money to rebuild Lisbon, which is also a kind of central blood-sucking method. Do Porto people feel unfair and want to fight for independence?

Some people in France like it and others don’t, especially those Portuguese who have been robbed of their gold and wealth. Napoleon’s original plan was to split Portugal between the north and the south and hand it over to an Italian king and a Spanish king, including Lisbon. The region of central Portugal was left to the royal family of Bragança.

Talleyrand is full of dirty water, so he is not afraid of being accused of corruption. If the xyz incident can be barely understood as a political orientation, France is going to wage a quasi-war with the United States, and he did it after the Battle of Orange Grove. The matter was completely traitorous. Who caused him and the Portuguese minister's wife to rekindle their old relationship?

  Most ministers’ wives would not engage in this kind of "diplomacy", which led to their collective refusal to go to Talleyrand’s house for Christmas. And from a certain point of view, Napoleon hated Talleyrand, the foreign minister's reputation is too bad, it really hinders France's diplomatic image.

Georgiana had to accept the gift from Monroe. At present, the United States still has "friends" with France. Although they have been sanctioned, other things such as food and fur that are not within the scope of sanctions can still continue to trade, and there is a common enemy, Bai Bury pirates.

She accepted gifts from others not only as bribery in the eyes of some people, but also meant to help others. The timing of Monroe's gift was when they were going to visit the north. Belgium originally belonged to Austria, because the peace treaty was ceded to If France builds up a sugar factory, Austria, which has no tropical colony, will covet it. By coincidence, William Pitt Jr. hoped that France would return Belgium to Austria, and that the United Kingdom would still occupy Malta, and the Mediterranean would also covet it. To eat sugar.

In the past, Portugal made so much money to monopolize the spice trade. At that time, Portugal prioritized the use of matchlocks and primitive grenades in naval battles. At that time, the lethality of grenades was limited. This allowed the Portuguese navy to rely on the cold weapons era, especially naval battles. Occupy an advantage when boarding a ship.

  This is also the characteristic of Portuguese swordsmanship. German swordsmanship generally uses long swords, and sometimes requires two-handed swords. Figer is a woman, although she is stronger than most women. Foil using small swords was popular in Napoleon's army. This was not suitable for her. Her power was not enough. When she used foil, it was almost like dancing.

The Portuguese are good at swift swords. There is not much space on the deck. Compared with rounded swords, thin thorn swords are more suitable. If you want to use an image metaphor, it is to wear a mask and like to draw "z". , Zorro, who robbed the rich and helped the poor, Zorro's area of ​​activity is South America.

There are many similarities between Spanish and Portuguese swordsmanship. They belong to the Iberian Peninsula. They can also use swift swords to solve the contradictions in the streets. The Spanish call swift swordsmanship "laverdaderadestreza", which means the highest art. Spanish swift swordsmanship is based on the circle. The foundation, which is full of complex geometric lines, requires sophisticated calculations for every movement, and at the same time understands medicine and understands what is deadly or what causes great damage, not so much courage and skill The contest is more like a mathematics competition for intelligence.

As for how Figer could tell that the Freemason she was fighting against was a Portuguese rather than a Spanish, Giorgioanna didn’t know. For example, she couldn’t tell the difference between the Spanish Swift Sword and the Italian Swift Sword. Again, she is a complete layman.

Giorgioanna has a feature that is not good enough, that is, she just asked if she didn’t understand. Originally, Talleyrand and Napoleon thought that Portugal had no wealth to squeeze, and even part of the land in the north was bought by the British. , But they all forgot about teaching property.

It seems simple to persuade the Portuguese to sell the educational property for the sake of national revival. Unfortunately, France’s credit is terrible, and an industry cannot appear out of nowhere. It must be developed and designed according to local conditions, not like Cinderella’s sisters. In order to put on shoes that did not fit, he cut off his toes.

  It must have shed a lot of blood, but Cinderella looked at the bloody, rusty crystal shoes and put it on, because that was her last chance.

Georgiana didn’t know what to do. She was going to ask someone who knew what to do, so she asked Matilda to bring her the most gorgeous black mink cloak that she had sent today. She wanted to wear it to meet and fetch it. Polioni.

  Normal women wear good-looking clothes to meet people they like, and men will forgive her even if she causes trouble.

  Sometimes it is good to be a fool.

In the book Leviathan, it is written that if the people of any country are not obedient and therefore uncoordinated, not only will they not be able to prosper, but they will soon disintegrate and ruin the country, just like Pelias’s Like a few foolish daughters, they chopped their old father into pieces and threw them into the cauldron to cook, but he did not become a young man.

  British goods are cheap and good quality, and poor people with low incomes will buy them, but if they are not restrained...

  As for the smuggling of Murat and his wife, Caroline, Caroline’s son Ahill could not become Napoleon’s heir. Georgiana thought she might not have imagined that she would be very jealous of the boy born to Ottens.

  This is why Georgiana feels women can’t do politics, but war makes men crazy, and only a few can stay awake. Occupying Valais will make the soldiers feel honored, but France loses in diplomacy.

  If those martial artists could understand, Marmont wouldn’t have formed a party to deal with Georgian.

  He has no private interests, and the quality of the newly cast guns is much better than before. The key is that force cannot solve all problems.

  It’s no wonder that Jefferson would say that he believes in a sensible Napoleon. If men are too emotional and easily impulsive, who knows what they will do.

  　 I never thought that one day I would be able to block the United States with the island chain

  　　 This dream is really good
