Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2385 Consequences of Victory (Part 1)

   On March 15, Caesar's nephew was far away from Rome, because at the end of 45 BC, Caesar sent him to study abroad in preparation for a future expedition to Parthia.

For four months Octavian lived with a group of friends and squires in Apollonia, a city on the west coast of Macedonia, a city strategically located along the Via Egnatius, which traverses the Greek peninsula to In the Aegean Sea, since Apollonia had been kindly treated by Caesar, the locals welcomed his nephew.

  In winter, Octavian received voice training and practiced speeches. At that time, there was no amplification equipment, and even so, not everyone could hear it, and the messenger needed to read it from a distance.

One day, while he was training with a cavalry of non-citizens, a letter from his mother let him know of Caesar's assassination, which she wrote on the 15th of March, and contained only Caesar's assassination. The messenger didn't know much about the basic situation of the letter. He left Rome immediately after he got the letter, and rushed here in a hurry. Octavian's mother urged him to return to Italy immediately and try to keep a low profile.

Soon the news of Caesar's assassination spread, and the military tribunals and centurions of the various legions stationed nearby came to visit Octavian, expressing their sympathy and anger against the assassin, and expressing their support for him, some even said Willing to accept his command to march into Rome. If nothing else, all 6 legions stationed in Macedonia were formed by Caesar after the Battle of Pharsalus, and the initial appointment and subsequent promotion of each officer required Caesar's approval.

  The wars in the East were known to be lucrative, and they were grateful for the favors Caesar gave them in the past, and they also hoped to be richly rewarded in the future. In addition to the soldiers, representatives of the city of Apollonia also came to offer condolences and ensure the safety of Octavian.

The news of Napoleon's assassination in Mechelen also spread in Paris. Similar situations have happened before. The battle of Marengo was killed in Dessai. Napoleon was sad for several days. As a result, Le Brun and others thought that Napoleon died. Moncey, the then commander of the gendarmerie, was responsible for keeping the lines of communication and communication clear, but he was harassed by the guerrillas, and then the rulings began to "prepare" for Napoleon's death.

Mortier arrived in Mechelen from Paris, and he heard the news from the British ambassador about the delivery of Polish prisoners of war. This time the news was kept strictly confidential, unlike the previous Swedish merchant ships, which went everywhere after they arrived at European ports. Spread everything you see in Santo Domingo.

Pomerania, which belongs to Sweden, strangles Prussia's estuary to Szczecin, but Prussia also has Hamburg on the Elbe, although it did not belong to the neutral state of the Basel Treaty at first, and is now under the protection of Prussia. Down. Although the winter is approaching, the British navy will not sail in the Baltic Sea, but after the resumption of navigation, the required asphalt and food supplies will still be obtained from the shore.

  In this situation, despite the bombardment of Copenhagen by the British navy, Prussia hoped that Britain would revise the strict "Navigation Regulations" 11 hours after Napoleon's passage through the English Channel.

  Prussian writers and critics slammed a series of diplomatic measures after Prussia's withdrawal from the anti-French alliance in the newspapers, believing that it was "self-destructive" and would bring "fatal danger". But given Prussia's financial deficit and integration with the newly occupied Polish territories, it was probably their best bet at the time.

Whether it was the Seven Years' War or the American Revolution, it can be seen that the war in North America outweighed the gains. In the Seven Years' War, France lost a large number of North American colonies. The North American Colonial Congress felt that it was no longer necessary to pay taxes to England for defense. If it was just to deal with the natives, The militia was enough.

   This is the opposite of the U.S. Ministry of Magic and No-Maj, they have a strict registration system for wands, and it is not like the constitution stipulates that everyone is free to carry guns.

  The Dark Mark was released when the Death Eaters attacked the Quidditch World Cup and made the front pages of the newspapers. When Grindelwald was running for election, supporters from all walks of life cast their own signs in the downtown area of ​​Berlin. It is unclear whether it was because Grindelwald made the law of international secrecy lose its authority, or because the fanaticism caused wizards to ignore the law of international secrecy. .

The followers of    Grindelwald were not so crazy, at least they rushed up the mountain when Grindelwald was not elected president of the International Federation of Wizards, and Grindelwald left by himself.

However, living in the Muggle world is still more comfortable than hiding in the mountains. In 1760, the Magical Congress moved to Williamsburg, Virginia. At least the wizards can buy coffee and bread in the small shop on the road after get off work, without having to buy their own Take the seed, turn it into a tree with the Farmer's Growth Charm, then roast, grind, brew yourself, and get a cup of coffee.

  But money is needed to live in the human world. In that speech in Paris, you could see many people in ragged clothes. These are all "pure blood aristocrats", and they are not as good as the Muggles who they call "vermin".

   In the words of Voldemort's father and his girlfriend, the Gaunts' house was a "disappointing" and they didn't want to approach it at all.

  The Gaunt family was also rich, and their ancestors left nothing to their descendants, except for Slytherin's locket, rings, and a "noble genealogy".

  The wool workers' uprising in 1378 was an armed struggle for the poor people to seek equality, but pure blood never felt sorry for themselves, at least they didn't want to change the status quo because they were cornered and unable to live.

The traditional poor will feel contented when they get the least food and clothing, but purebloods are frustrated, they blame their failure on the existing constraints, Grindelwald gave them a banner of justice, that Wherever the flag goes, that family's house is guaranteed to burn to ashes and those who do it will feel no guilt.

   They will plausibly tell the audience that this is saving the world, and then walk away.

  The best way is to kill the situation in its infancy, but unfortunately the British Ministry of Magic missed the opportunity. Maybe the Aurors are busy traveling and falling in love in romantic Paris.

   This led to the end of the war. The decline of pure blood families led to their insufficient population. Although there were many Muggle-born wizards, it was very difficult for them to become "warriors". There were not many members of the Order of the Phoenix. During the First Wizarding War, many people died because of betrayals by traitors. In the Second Wizarding War, even fewer were willing to come back and continue to fight. Even people like Mundungus joined. But she still learned something from that organization, unity, tolerance, trust, and there was Snape in the Order who was worse than Mundungus, who was a former Death Eater, and also had a clear purpose, No one wants to follow a headless leader.

Equality without liberty will create a more stable social model than liberty without equality, but this is what the Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness Contradiction.

  If the group cannot think about the contradiction, then the individual should have time to think about the contradiction.

   How can slavery and equal liberty coexist? And no one would want to be an immoral, even though slavery was called a "necessary evil" in the founding days, it should be eliminated when it stabilizes, not with "the happiness of slaves" and "the misery of free workers." "Make a comparison.

  The slave owner feels that he is moral and benevolent, he does not feel that slavery is unjust, and the slave feels that he is more fortunate than the free worker, so he does not feel that there is a problem with the system.

The fact is not what the designers of this set of rules thought. Equality has a target. The equality of the colonial parliament is the British Parliament, and the target of freedom is not bound by the United Kingdom. They are not willing to lower the standard, and The poor and slaves are equal.

  The road of pioneering and entrepreneurship of the farmers of the westward movement is the road of suffering of slaves and the road of blood and tears of the aborigines, but it is almost impossible to stop them now.

   Conflict in the Mississippi area is about to break out, and even the barren land in Louisiana is sold, and the attitude of the British Parliament will not be the same as it is now.

   After knowing the general situation, Georgiana was taken to the suite of her residence by Mortier. Everyone came, and then Mortier left and closed the door.

   Farron handed her a document.

   "What is this?" asked Georgiana.

   "A letter of protest written by the British ambassador in Hamburg, he was restricted from freedom and could not leave the embassy." Farron replied.

   "Who did it?" asked Georgiana.

   "How can Hogwitz persuade other northern cities to join their alliance if Prussia doesn't intervene?" asked Bowens, who planned to open a cotton textile factory.

  Georgianna looked at Aston Martin, who remained silent.

   "Sit down and talk, gentlemen." Georgiana said to them, "Would you like tea or coffee?"

   "None of them." Bowens muttered "Damn coffee."
