Chapter 1848 Witch Club (twenty-four)

  Portto wine is a fortified wine like the Madeira wine drunk by the witches at the Witch Fair. The difference is that Port wine is added with brandy, while Madeira wine is added with high-purity alcohol.

  Is there a difference between alcohol and brandy?

  The army is a purely male world. For these people who may die at any time, there is no difference between alcohol and brandy. Wine tasting belongs to the talents of senior officers.

Alcohol is made from starch materials such as corn, wheat, and potatoes. Brandy’s ethanol is made from the fermentation of sugar in fruits. When brandy is added to Porto wine made from grapes, the flavor of the wine is increased and becomes This is a Port wine with natural sweetness and fruity aroma.

Madeira wine is also known as "Immortal Wine". This wine is "lifeless". It can be stored in a normal environment for hundreds of years like a corpse soaked in formalin, without the need for constant temperature and humidity. Stored in the cellar. Yeast is killed in high-purity alcohol. Port wine is added before the end of the fermentation of grape juice. Yeast means "sin" in the Bible. The bread in the sacrament is usually unleavened, but the Orthodox Church Practical fermented cakes, because they believe that fermented cakes represent the Holy Spirit, and the Western church refuses to say "spiritual prayer" during the dispersion.

  Although with the fall of Constantinople, Orthodox Christians took root in Russia, and some others immigrated to the United States.

When the Salem Witch incident occurred, the new Governor of Massachusetts and Inchris Mather had just obtained a charter from the United Kingdom. At that time, the people of Massachusetts drove the former Governor Andros away, but order was not restored. They needed a new one. The governor.

  The new governor Phipps is not a believer. He did not receive baptism at all. Later, the priest baptized him as an adult, which is not allowed by the Orthodox Church.

When there is no such thing as a new charter, Massachusetts’s election is to elect its own officials without specific belief requirements. This is also included in the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution: it is forbidden for Congress to enact any law to establish the state religion, Obstruct freedom of belief.

The Boston Tea Event is also related to the East India Company’s concession. The East India Company not only facilitates the British Parliament to rule India, it also pays 10% of all taxes in the United Kingdom. The expansion of the British Navy also benefits from this. The source of finance gave it many conveniences in order to allow it to continue to operate, including the right to monopolize operations.

The charter is such a thing. In the past, Spain also signed a trade contract license when its national power was strong, but it was not blank. Portugal obtained a Spanish slave trade license to transport slaves to South America for gold and silver mining. You cannot go to South America for trade without this certificate.

  Spain is not as good as before, and their navy is not an "invincible fleet", but the ocean hegemon, England, still wants to ally with them. Napoleon's famous battle The battle of Toulon began with the British and Spanish coalition forces entering the port of Toulon, helping the royal party together, and in 1801 Spain and Napoleon attacked Portugal together.

There are pro-British factions and pro-French factions in the Spanish court. Both parties are fighting, and there are also in the Portuguese court. Godoy actually allowed Gabriel Ufral to issue blank charters so casually, and I don’t know how much he received. benefit.

  Sometimes there will be such wonders on the earth. Before the signing of the Amiens Treaty, Napoleon’s expedition to Santo Domingo had already set sail. At that time, they were going to be blocked by British warships.

  A warship that cannot fire cannons is a display. Apart from pirates, who would dare to intercept Spanish transport ships?

  The Treaty of Methuen stipulates that British businessmen are not allowed to directly enter Brazil, and William Pitt Jr. felt that Trinidad was more economically valuable than Malta. He acquiesced to Ufrall’s rules of the game because he wanted to ship Mexico’s silver to Europe. The military expenses of the anti-French war were almost all paid by England. For other countries, England needs to "recover blood."

  But the charter is the British control of the trade of other neutral countries. Without this certificate, the navy can become pirates and plunder the merchant ships. Does it deny Spain’s trade contract license?

  Unless England tears off its mask and directly uses warships to attack Spanish gold ships, European countries will be tortured by Spain’s blank charter, and Napoleon must be blamed. How did you release this scourge?

  For another period, such as during a war, this gadget is not so powerful. The war is bound to be hostile. When the British were hostile to the Americans, they robbed American cargo ships.

  The wheat production in Portugal is very low, and it needs American food ships, and the freedom of North America is introduced.

  World peace is different from wartime. William Pitcha’s East India Company is also evasive. Is it possible that he wants to investigate the corruption of the Royal Navy?

  He and Nelson are allies. The corruption problem of the lumber mill that supplies the Navy has been reported. Fortunately, the prime minister is not him. This kind of thing is as far away as signing the "Judgment of Subjugation."

  During the French Revolution, the British fleet was unable to navigate near Amsterdam due to the freezing of the sea. At the same time, the French cavalry mounted horses and stepped across the ice to accept the surrender of this navy.

  The occurrence of this scene is a coincidence, but Bonaparte intends to reproduce it artificially, mobilizing all the saltpetre, and intends to dump it into the cold water so that the British warship cannot move, thus capturing Nelson alive.

  This can be regarded as a kind of climatic weapon. The sea does not freeze because there is salt. There is a freshwater river near Amsterdam that enters the sea, which causes the sea to freeze.

  If you can try to find out, the French navy has been timid since the Battle of Abukir, Egypt. If Nelson is also afraid of Bonaparte not daring to fight, then the British navy will become like that in the future.

  The Prince of Wales also considered that if Nelson is really captured alive, then the British nationals will also lose confidence in the navy. In this case, the Prince of Wales had a secret meeting with Napoleon, when Bonaparte went to review the Western Corps.

  It is not that Bonaparte has not taken over any “legacy” from the supervising government. The efficient new administrative system has given France a new life.

  Americans know very well that full democracy is not only weak and incompetent, but also unwise and inefficient. Cromwell, the Protector of the Country, was set up in the past to allow the two parliament parties to quarrel with each other. When they are busy quarreling, Cromwell can achieve a dictatorship.

  The way to restrict democracy is federalism, which prevents complete democracy in any place and no centralization of power, but it solves difficult problems and creates new problems at the same time.

  No one can listen. The minority obeys the majority. They will not admit that there is a majority tyranny, which is also authoritarian and oppressive.

  The story of Socrates is very famous, in addition to Columbus, Galileo, etc., these are the minority, and sometimes the minority who master the truth.

  The king is sometimes lonely, and they have to face many people who don’t understand him.

  There is a Catholic widow next to the Prince of Wales. In order to marry her, he also bribed a priest to hold a religious ceremony. Protestants and Catholics got married.

  This may be the beginning. Protestants and Catholics are also allowed to marry in the academic agreement. Bonaparte also met an English woman. Although she claimed to be a witch, more people regarded her as a Protestant.

  The constitutional monarchy puts the king on his back. The Prince of Wales does not even have the right to marry a woman he likes. This is a right that ordinary people can enjoy.

Bonaparte is also not free. He cannot exile whoever wants to be exiled by kings like Louis XV. He needs to be assassinated as an excuse to exile Jacobins.

  Everyone needs to put on a personality mask in front of people to be likable. The Prince of Wales, as the master, should listen to the direction of public opinion to rule, and Bonaparte has to act like a commander in command.

What he actually wants is a peaceful life. Of course, no one believes what he said. If he is really a peace-loving person, he would not send Queen Ekaterina during the "Kampo-Formio Negotiation". The cup given to Earl Cobenz fell.

  In fact, Napoleon’s brother, Lucien, who claimed to be Brutus, also fell a cup. It was an informal meeting. At the time, Georgiana wanted to eat beef, and she also wanted to eat fish.

  Although there is a famine, she can eat whatever she wants, as long as she uses a little privilege, just like the mistress of other kings.

  Out of respect for women and people who sacrificed for a peaceful and beautiful life, this experiment was cancelled, and everyone returned to the daily life of masked people.

  Everyone will define the world of bliss and paradise. Bonaparte built an iron-framed greenhouse in the Little Trianon, which is full of plants, but they are not all expensive flowers for appreciation.

  These plants have practical value. Georgian sometimes explained to the servants like a teacher. It is said that it was her former occupation, as if she really wanted to teach them something.

  It looks like a garden of Eden, and the building next to it is her favorite church of Our Lady of Ankang in Venice. It was repaired by the engineers in a short time, and sculptures and furniture are constantly being added to beautify it. It seems that nature and God are in harmony here.

  Hogwarts must be a fascinating place, but as a Muggle he can’t go.

  A long, long time ago, in a place far, far away, there lived a stupid king who thought that he should only have magical powers alone.

  Therefore, the king ordered the leader of his army to form a squad of witch hunting and assign them a group of ferocious black hounds. At the same time, he also issued an announcement in towns and villages across the country: "The king is hiring a magic teacher."

  Those real wizards, no one dare to come out and apply for the job, they all avoid the witch hunting team. However, a cunning liar who knew no magic at all saw the opportunity to make a fortune. He came to the palace and claimed that he was a skilled wizard. The liar changed a few simple tricks, and the stupid king believed that he could do magic, and immediately appointed him as the chief wizard and the king's personal magic master.

  The liar asked the king to give him a large bag of gold, which he used to buy magic wands and other magic necessities. He also asked for a few large rubies, which he said would be used to complete the healing spell; and a silver goblet or two, which he said would be used to preserve and brew potions. All these things were provided to him by the stupid king.

  But what the king didn’t know was that there was a real witch in his courtyard. Her name was Babiti, a washerwoman who was responsible for washing the bed sheets in the palace to be soft, white and fragrant.

  Some magical historians have suggested that Bidou created Babiti based on the image of the famous French magician Lisette de Lapan. Lisette was sentenced in 1422 for practicing witchcraft in Paris. To the surprise of the Muggle guards, Lisette disappeared from the cell the night before she was about to be executed. Later, the Muggle guards were accused of helping the witch escape and were tried. Although there is no evidence to prove that Lisette was an Animagus and squeezed out between the railings of the cell window, then people saw a white rabbit crossing the English Channel sitting on a crucible with sails. This rabbit later became a confidant adviser to the court of King Henry VI.

  If that is true, then England not only took away a mixed-blood Veeva from France, it also took away a legendary witch.

  The feeling of gain and loss is very different. Zero-sum game means that under strict competition, the gains of one party inevitably mean the losses of the other party. The sum of the gains and losses of all parties in the game is always “zero”. There is no possibility of cooperation between the two parties. It can also be said that one's own happiness is based on the suffering of others.

  A happy ending is possible through effective cooperation. But from a zero-sum game to a win-win situation, all parties must have the spirit and courage to cooperate sincerely, don't be clever in cooperation, don't always want to take advantage of others, and abide by the rules of the game, otherwise a win-win situation will not occur. In the end, it is the collaborator himself who suffers.

  There is a man who often has a dream full of myths and epics, but when he wakes up, he is alone.

As a person who loves to be clean, he shaves every day and always does it by himself. No one is worth putting his hand on his cheek. Only when he can’t move, he will make up his mind to let others give He shaves.

  How could someone like him allow a woman to slap him?

   is really an absurd dream, it is so ridiculous, the person who dreams must be a lunatic.
