Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2435 The Reckless Man's Plan (1)

  Although according to the isolationist foreign policy determined by Washington, the United States tries not to directly intervene in the disputes in Europe, but the actual situation is that many Americans have joined the anti-French alliance or the French army because of their past "grievances".

   Soldiers are not members of parliament. They often carry blood debts, or avenge their relatives and friends. But these are personal actions, not in the capacity of diplomats.

   But just like William Pitt Jr. made so many promises to the Irish when Britain and Ireland merged. When it came time to fulfill them, once the king vetoed, he could not fulfill the promise and had to resign, but the whole situation had been settled. What's more, the President of the United States must obtain the consent of Congress if he wants to go to war abroad, but if the President mobilizes the military to participate in foreign military operations for less than 60 days, the consent of Congress is not required.

That is to say, Jefferson can use the power of the president to transfer a regular army of 2,000 people to Europe for 60 days. Once the 60 days arrive, he will be like Cinderella and leave before the magic disappears at 12 o'clock. Should Bonaparte take them and throw them away when they leave? "Crystal Slipper" come to the theory?

   They did not fail to fulfill the agreement, but is there any difference between fulfilling it and not fulfilling it?

  The Americans might as well give some financial support, such as setting up a cotton trading center in Le Havre, and not shipping cotton to Liverpool, provided they are not afraid that the British Navy will come out to "fish".

  What matters to Britain is sea control, and when Napoleon crossed the Strait of Dover, the British Parliament was also debating whether it should send troops to stop him.

   Not long after the outbreak of the French Revolution, London also noticed domestic political differences. Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds were not represented in Parliament, but there were as many as 168 representatives in the six southwestern counties.

With industrialization and urbanization, the population distribution of England has been very different from that of the Glorious Revolution. The population of the southwest has grown slowly, and the population of the newly industrial cities has been very dense. Manchester did a census in 1773, and in 1801 I did it again and doubled it.

  Why are you arguing about this issue at this juncture? No one remembers it anymore. It may be because the army recruited from the countryside, and the stenographer who was in charge of recording the meeting had no time to write it.

The    MPs were arguing there, and the Privy Council was not idle. The British navy did not directly transport the cultural relics that "assisted" the French from Egypt to London, but transported them to the Booker Museum in Liverpool for temporary storage. For a while, many people went to Liverpool to watch the fun, and the rich people competed for each other. Purchases, especially the treasures of Luxor and Karnak, became the coveted treasures of the European elite, and the romantic reverie about the "Oriental" soon spread to the whole high society, and books, prints and costumes about the "Oriental" became popular. .

As Napoleon crossed the strait, two British warships caught up with the fleet, and the young navy on board had absolutely no idea of ​​shelling Napoleon's ship, but there was a Lord of the Privy Council, who was six feet two inches tall and had a brown head. curly hair, dark blue eyes, and flexible muscles.

   He served on the British Navy "Tobago" when he was 6 years old. He came from a wealthy Cornish family. At the age of 14, when his ship hit an iceberg, the crew left the team without authorization and joined the "Discovery".

   When he was 16 years old, he went to Cape Town, South Africa, and tried to "show his skills" with marksmanship to please a local girl. The captain punished him severely and slapped him in public.

   "Wait." Georgiana asked "Why..."

   "He was targeting people," said Henry Petty, "the natives to be exact, and when his father passed away in 1793, he called home to take over the estate."

   "What does he want to do?"

   "Listen to me." Henry Petty said impatiently.

A few days after returning to London, the Lord met the captain who had slapped him. He was 20 and the captain was 41. They fought in the street, and soon the beatings dominated the headlines and cartoons. Jia painted the farce as a comic sneer. In the end, the two ended in a duel, and the captain was killed by the Lord's gun.

   Later, the Lord went to sea again and in 1798 shot an officer on board who threatened to mutiny, and was prosecuted by the Martinique Military Court.

  Because someone could testify that the officer did say the threat, the Lord was arrested and interrogated, but he was not imprisoned, but he bid farewell to his naval career and returned to London. Instead of living in a grand mansion on Park Lane, he moved to the second floor of a grocery store somewhere in Charing Cross.

   While serving in the Navy he met an Irishman named Barry, who was also a sharpshooter and a boxer.

  As he got older, the Lord still couldn't control his temper. In 1801, a light show was held in London to celebrate the recovery of George III. Each family was required to light a candle and place it by the window.

This is how Louis XII tried to "light up Paris" before using whale oil to solve the problem of lighting and street lamps, but the Lord brought a thick wooden stick that day, along with some rabble, waving it from side to side, and smashing the residence and the residence The candles and glass in the grocery store below were knocked out.

  No one could stop him, and finally the Thames Police came to warn him that he would start a fire.

  Harry must have been surprised to see the Leaky Cauldron for the first time, how could there be such a place in central London.

   That area has a nickname called "Bermuda", which is the place where legends say it will cause mysterious disappearances, shipwrecks, and plane crashes.

  Lord's behavior is not too outrageous, and he has no conclusive evidence that he has done illegal things, in short, he still has a place in the Privy Council.

  Because he was a dangerous man, Thames Police sent patrolmen to pay more attention to his residence, and it was soon found that the Lord was missing. Then they went to the Lord's friend Barry, who said he was on a crazy mission - to assassinate Napoleon. Along with him was another sharpshooter, Best, who was also a master swordsman.

  Georgianna was speechless in surprise.

   "If the French find them, give them to me or Sir Merry at once." Henry Petty said wearily. "Don't let them get in trouble."

   "I see." Georgiana said calmly.

   "Besides, I have something to tell you, your dance teacher, Saint Merry, who was Napoleon's advisor on the colonies..."

   "I know, he and Josephine are from Martinique," interrupted Georgiana.

   "Then did you know that he was a spy for Josephine?" Henry Petty said, "He wrote her every move here, everything that happened every day."

   "So you want me to be like him? Write every day to tell you about Bonaparte's every move?" Georgiana said angrily, "Do you know..."

   "If he hadn't gone, we wouldn't have been so close to you." Henry Petty interrupted her. "Anyway, you have to be careful about that person, don't trust him."

   "Why should I trust him?" Georgiana asked rhetorically.

  Henry Petty shook his head, and just as he stood up, the door of the lounge opened, and a middle-aged man in a cloak walked in.

   "Who are you! Come on..."

   Before Henry Petty could finish speaking, the middle-aged man took out his wand and stunned him.

   "Muggles now are really weak." The middle-aged man put his wand back in his jacket pocket. "We need to talk, young lady."

   "Who are you?" Georgiana asked the Moody-like man in a trance.

   "My name is Farris Spavin and I serve in the Ministry of Magic's Executive Division." Spavin sat down in a chair. "Bad news."

   "What more bad news?" she asked with a smile.

   "The Muggles are going to level Charing Cross, and we'll lose the entrance to the wizarding world, don't you think?" Spaven said.

   "Oh, I remember!"

"what?"

  Georgianna smiled and shook her head. "You will live a long life."

  Spaven looked at her inexplicably.

   "Who wants to level this street?" asked Georgiana.

   "Prince Regent," said Spavin indignantly. "It's all the stuff learned from Europe."
