Since March of 1803, a new spectacle has been built not far from the Freedom Palace.

Because of the railway connection, the Liberty Palace area has gradually become prosperous. The scenery here is beautiful, the transportation is convenient, and it is far from the city, and the air is better. In addition, because you have to take a train to come here, the poor are generally unwilling to take a train and run here without problems, so there are very few poor people. There are few poor, which means that law and order are relatively good. It is especially suitable for those who have a very good heart and don’t see poor people come to settle down. So now this area is already one of the most important wealthy areas in Paris.

Even before the construction of the Freedom Palace, some well-informed people who knew everything about the sky, or who were simply the sky, had already bought all the land around this area from the hands of the state. At that time, the area was still deserted and there was nothing. Valuable, but now the value of the land here has risen rapidly.

Two years ago, at the insistence of Napoleon, the École Normale de Paris was also moved to this area. At that time, because the railway had not yet been built, the place was relatively deserted and the land price was low. In order to facilitate work, Laplace, as the executive vice principal, also bought a small villa here-anyway, the land here is cheap. Just two years later, the price of his villa has doubled. Calculating now, the money earned by this villa is much more than the money earned by Laplace as the principal of the Paris Normal University. Therefore, one of the things Laplace regrets most now is that he only bought a villa at that time. Especially when he knew that Mr. Monge had bought three villas here quietly, three sets. This old guy is really enviable.

In addition to the Paris Normal University, the University of Paris has also moved part of its colleges here. But the University of Paris is too big, unlike the Paris Normal University, if you say you move over, you can move over, so they just moved the art school.

It was Sunday again, and a group of art students took their easels and went to the Palace of Liberty to sketch. When everyone is drawing, it is inevitable to discuss another building next to it.

At this time, more than half of the new wonder has been completed. In fact, by this time, the main building has basically been completed, but some necessary renovations have not yet begun. In order to reduce the impact of noise and dust on the surroundings, the entire periphery of the construction site was surrounded by walls. However, from the hillsides where the students often go when sketching from life, the whole construction site can still be seen relatively clearly.

"This stadium is huge. It's almost time to catch up with the Colosseum." Nicholas sat down in front of his drawing board, while continuing to trace the Palace of Liberty under the morning glow on the canvas, he spoke and did nothing to do. Fedorov chatted.

"It should be a little bigger than the Colosseum in size. It's like the Freedom Palace is a little bigger than the Pantheon. But we are far away now. From here, everything is smaller." Fedorov replied.

"When do you think this thing can be fixed?" Nikolai asked again.

"Next summer, the Olympic Games will be held here. So, the project should be ready soon." Fedorov said, "Sometimes I really feel that the process of building it is a real miracle. My friend , Do you remember that when we first moved here, this place was completely a wasteland. In less than two years, such a huge building rose from the ground. Think. It took the Romans 80,000 slaves and it took decades to complete the Colosseum. For the French, it took only two years to build them."

"They have reinforced concrete. But don't you think that reinforced concrete things still look inferior to real rocks. They lack that feeling. You understand..."

"Come on, Nikolai." Fedorov shook his head disapprovingly. "You should know that the Pantheon and the Colosseum originally used a lot of cement. Of course, there won't be at that time. Rebar, but the rebar is inside, you can’t see it, don’t you? What is the difference? Well, maybe the time is not long enough, so there is not enough weathering marks."

"Perhaps." Nicholas said. "Do you think Bonaparte is in power like Rome very much."

"Isn't everyone aware of this? Otherwise, why did everyone get him a Medal of British Berate, and the people of the Holy See actually wanted to investigate the emperor of a big country for an unreliable rumor. Why is this? Isn’t it obvious? Bonaparte reigns like Rome, especially the crown of Rome."

"Bonaparte gave a speech a few days before he came to power, saying that the democratic system is the best system and that he will always be loyal to the French Republic." Nicolas said.

"Hehe, what a politician said... only kind people like you will believe it. However, one thing is really strange. Generally speaking, at this time, some media should begin to promote the superiority of the monarchy. Because according to the truth, Bonaparte’s time for the crowning of power should be very close. At this time, we are still saying that the democratic system is good, and then the turn will be too hasty, and problems may occur.

"You said that Bonaparte's reign is likely to be crowned emperor soon?" Nicola asked.

"Otherwise, why did the pope send someone to investigate the affairs of the Austrian emperor at this time? Isn't it just to bring the crown back to Bonaparte?"

"But the relationship between Austria and France seems to be pretty good today."

"So, there are some things that people really don't understand."

Just as the two foreign students were muttering, the Holy See officially sent investigators to Austria to prepare to investigate the case of the Holy Roman Emperor's alleged heresy.

In this regard, Austria was extremely angry. They announced that the investigators of the Holy See were prohibited from entering Austria and sent an ultimatum to the Holy See, asking the Holy See to immediately stop this insulting behavior and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. They expressed the hope that the Holy See would immediately rein in the precipice, change course, and not go further and further in the direction of hurting the feelings of the Austrian people. Otherwise, any consequences caused by this should be the responsibility of the Holy See.

The threat in this sentence is already very obvious. The Holy See naturally refused to accept such threats and immediately protested to Austria. The Holy See stated:

It is the traditional right of the Holy See to examine the purity of believers' faith, and this right comes from the supreme God. The unreasonable behavior of the Austrian government is a blatant contempt for the Holy See, and even for God, which in itself has slipped to the edge of heresy.

But both the Pope and God are kind and can tolerate mistakes. The Holy See's investigation was originally intended to punish the past and the future, and to treat illnesses and save people. This is not just a survey, it is also a help. Therefore, there is no insult to His Majesty Franz II. His Majesty Franz II should also face the help from the Holy See in a humble attitude of changing what is available, but not encouraging. Instead of adopting such an erroneous attitude, resisting the care of the Pope.

Therefore, now His Majesty Franz II and the Austrian government under him really should immediately rein in the precipice and change course. The Pope is looking forward to the confession and apology of His Majesty Franz II.

This statement of the Holy See naturally further angered Austria, at least it seems so. Austria announced the suspension of the Eleven Taxes of the Holy See. Before the Holy See changes course, cancels the insulting review of His Majesty the Emperor, and apologizes to the Emperor, these taxes will be temporarily kept by the Austrian Royal Family.

This decision naturally made the Holy See very angry. The Holy See sent a special envoy to Austria to ask Emperor Franz II to immediately cancel this resolution. However, this envoy was attacked by an unidentified person in Vienna and was injured as a result, and had to temporarily suspend his mission and return to the Holy See.

This incident made Emperor Franz a little passive, but he still insisted that he would not allow a gold coin to leave Austria and flow to the Vatican until the Holy See canceled his "humiliating investigation".

So in September of this year, the Holy See once again issued a note to Franz, asking Austria to pay the eleven tax within a time limit, otherwise it would take "absolute measures" against Emperor Franz II.

But Emperor Franz II continued to remain unmoved. The Austrian media has also begun to directly attack the Pope, even threatening that Austria should go to Rome like Emperor Henry IV did in the past, and help the Holy See change for a pope.

Of course, this kind of rhetoric is just talking, because now, between Austria and the Pope, there is still the French Republic’s core ally-the Republic of Northern Italy.

Other newspapers ridiculed the Pope. They laughed at the pope for bluffing, and they didn't dare to do anything. A newspaper even described the pope as a shivering coward hiding behind the icon of **** in a cartoon.

Interestingly, His Majesty Franz's resistance has improved his image among the people a lot. Since his repeated defeats in the war with France, His Majesty Franz II has been regarded by many as a representative of cowardice and incompetence. He was even portrayed as a representative of immoral tendencies in the arrangement of him. The one with "No Limits". After some operations today, everyone still feels that His Majesty the Emperor still smells like a man, like an emperor.

Of course, such an approach naturally made the Pope have to really react. Therefore, in February 1804, under the crown of the Pope, an edict was officially issued, announcing the expulsion of Franz II's membership and depriving him of the title of "Emperor of the Romans".

As for the actions of the Holy See, Austria also responded immediately. They declared that Pope Pius VI was old and weak, in a coma, and was no longer suitable for the role of Pope. Therefore, Austria does not recognize the validity of the edict issued by Pope Pius VI. And His Majesty Emperor Franz II is naturally still a Catholic, and "the emperor of the Romans."

Regarding the contradiction between the Holy See and Austria, the friend of Austria, the French made a picture that had nothing to do with me, I was just watching a theater. At the official level, French Foreign Minister Talleyrand issued such a statement in which he stated:

The French Republic has always adhered to the policy of religious freedom and the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The French Republic hopes that all countries and religions in the world can live in peace, seek common ground while reserving differences, and make progress together...

In short, although Foreign Minister Talleyrand said a lot, but really compressed it, it is basically this sentence: It’s my shit?

Even the French media didn’t care too much about this matter. Although it successfully made the front page of "Science Pravda" on the first day at this time, it failed to occupy the headline position because of the headline news. Yes: "The French Academy of Sciences officially awarded the Prometheus Prize".

Yes, the day when the Pope announced the expulsion of Franz II from his membership was just when the French Academy of Sciences issued the first "Prometheus Prize for Mathematics" and "Prometheus Prize for Medicine". So this decision not only failed to make headlines in the "Science Pravda", but also hardly made headlines in other mainstream newspapers.

Strictly speaking, because Catholicism is the common belief of the French after all, the "Science Pravda" still gave the pope the crown and put his edict on the front page; and went to those places where Protestantism is believed, such as For the Rhine Alliance and the United Kingdom, this news didn't even have its turn on the front page.

In the Rhine League, because the mathematics prize was given to Gauss, who was born in Brunswick, the headlines of the newspapers there were naturally reports on Gauss's award. The content in other places on the front page is naturally all kinds of introductions about Gauss’s achievements, although to be honest, introducing Gauss’s achievements is a problem for most newspaper reporters and editors. . Not to mention that in the early nineteenth century, in the twenty-first century, how many reporters and editors knew those things about Gauss? Even just a few years before Joseph's journey, he still saw a news on the Internet that "Chinese students threw leftover raw materials all over the floor in a mathematical modeling contest."

Fortunately, "Science Pravda" helped them solve this problem. "Science Pravda" has a lot of popular science about Gauss' mathematical achievements. Just copy them over. Although the popular science in "Science Pravda" is generally "every word, every number, and every symbol above, I can recognize them separately, but I don’t understand what they mean together." But those silly North Germans just like to watch. Although they don’t understand at all, they still read these things and then said to themselves, even though I didn’t understand anything, But the people from the Rhine Alliance are amazing!

As for the Pope’s removal of the Austrian emperor’s membership, what does it matter to us? Put it at the back, put it at the back, um, the first edition will include news about our Gauss and popular science on Gauss's academics. second edition? That is to introduce the medical awards-we can't be too partial. In addition, I need to interview Gauss’s friends, classmates and elementary school teachers. Well, do you know how Gauss counted as 1+2+3...+100 when he was a child?

So the affairs of the Pope and the Austrian emperor will naturally go to the third edition. Even if it is the third edition, the position of the previous point should be used to admire the selflessness of the French.

As for the UK, their situation is not too different. The headline of the first edition is naturally to report on the situation of the awards, and the rest of the pages are naturally used to introduce the various situations of the two winners. Considering that Carol's achievements have been widely known in the previous "Lancet" storm, so the introduction about him can be simpler. However, the introduction of Gauss can not be less.

And Gauss is still a child prodigy, which is more necessary to report. Readers in different countries have a preference for prodigy stories, so almost every newspaper reports on how Gauss was a child as a 1+2+3...+100 story.

But these things are resolved on the front page anyway. After all, Gauss is not British, and Carol, this is worse, he is rebellious. Therefore, the space required to report them is naturally less than that of the Rheinland Alliance. So the first edition can put all these contents down.

Only in the second edition, the British felt that they should publish some reflection articles on the current state of the development of science and technology in the UK ~lightnovelpub.net~ to reflect on why the UK is uncompetitive in such awards. In addition, let me introduce by the way, their main opponent, the French development in this area, and their various places worth learning from the British-so there is no place for the second edition of the Pope's edict.

When it comes to the third edition, well, I have to serve international students who are going to study in France in the future, and introduce the situation of various schools in France. Especially this time, although the mathematics prize fell into the hands of Gauss, but the other three people who were shortlisted for the mathematics prize with him were all from the Paris Normal University, which made the British full of interest in this newly established university, so they introduced These schools have spent a lot of layout. Finally, the Pope’s dismissal of Austrian membership failed to occupy a prominent place in the third edition.

As for Austria, the news did not appear in the newspapers at all. A few days later, many people announced that the Austrian government declared that Pope Pius VI was old and in coma, and was no longer suitable for the role of pope. Therefore, Austria did not recognize the news of the validity of the edict issued by the Pope Pius VI, only to know that the Pope expelled the emperor from his membership and deprived him of the title of "Emperor of the Romans".

In short, the original move by the Holy See should have attracted the attention of the entire European community, but because they deliberately chose a good time, coupled with the intentional or unintentional cooperation of all parties, it was quite calm. Up.
