Chapter 2080 Tianshui Jiji (6)

  There have been many scholars studying why Spain fell.

  Perhaps as Bonaparte said just now, silver is very important, but having silver does not mean having everything.

  On the way to the crowd on foot, Georgiana thought, what would happen if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty agreed to “align” with the British World Regiment?

First of all, the British must have a foothold if they want trade in East Asia. It is not a small island, but the scale of India. After the Manchus accepted the arms of the British World Regiment, they could assist the British in safeguarding their interests in India. Occupied by French or native Indian rulers.

  The time of Macartney’s mission coincided with the Second Anti-French Alliance, and England had to pay “a lot” for the Union Army’s military expenses. The Manchus received artillery and guns, and England received much-needed silver. Although this still cannot solve the problem of the Manchus’ inability to produce advanced weapons in the local area, and the “Westernization Movement” will still be needed to solve the manufacturing problems in the future, at least one channel to understand the outside world will be preserved in this way.

  Of course, this is just an assumption. After all, this means allowing other countries to engage in their own interests, and it will also tolerate England’s expansion in East Asia. The emperor has already made his decision, so according to the Eastern Art of War book, "Go up to war, then go down to attack the city." Diplomatic channels have been unable to achieve the goal, so the next step is to prepare for war.

  A country does not have to be powerless to swear its sovereignty. To maintain its sovereignty, force must be required. In the end, the issue of sovereignty must be resolved by force. Even Einstein said that as long as a sovereign country possesses force, war is inevitable.

  In addition to curiosity, war is also a driving force for human progress. Muggles will not invest in making time travel machines, but will invest in making atomic bombs, and wizards will use time converters to conduct more dangerous experiments.

  The big history may not be so easy to change, but the local and personal history can be changed. Most of them are insignificant little people, like a grain of dust in the era, leaving no trace.

  But how different are these little people and big people?

  The people who disappeared in the known time experiment are all wizards. Of course, the wizards will only count the wizards. There are too many Muggles. Although they are small people, they have the power of witchcraft that some big people crave, just like the king in a fairy tale. It is precisely because of his desire that he was deceived by the liar.

  When Georgiana appeared, the crowd of onlookers automatically gave her a way out, and she found that someone actually saluted her.

She thought it was a little funny, but she still walked to the center. There was no fountain on the hillside. The so-called fountain was sprayed out of a wooden barrel. A young man stood beside the barrel. He looked better than Napoleon Bonaparte. So a few years younger.

  He saw Georgiana with an elegant and charming smile on her face.

  There is a kind of "magic power" on his body that is different from Napoleon. Georgiana raised her hand and asked him to kiss the back of her hand.

   "What is this doing?" she asked in a sweet voice.

  "Small bugs and bugs." The young man said in French with a foreign accent.

   "Mr. Clemens Metternich can make water burn like oil." said one of the onlookers.

   appeared again.

  Georgiana wanted to roll her eyes. The “miracle” of turning water into oil and water into wine has lasted for so many years, and no matter how many times it fails, human beings are still tried and tested.

  But what surprised her even more was that this young man was Metternich. He was a celebrity in history.

   "Is he right?" Georgiana looked at Metternich and said.

  "You can watch it by yourself." Metternich said and activated his device. After the fountain started spraying water, he stroked the water column with a lighted paper, looking like he was lighting a candle.

  Georgina observed carefully for a long time, the fire was orange, and she did not smell any strange smell.

   "Can you take it apart?" Georgiana asked, looking at the barrel.

  Meternich smiled and said in English, "Secrets make women more attractive (asecretmakesawomanmoreattractive). Let us keep this dark sense of secrets."

  Georgiana looked at him for a while.

   "Chemistry?" she asked.

  "Dresden is an interesting city, where people believe in both science and magic." Metternich said.

   "Have you been to Dresden?"

  "I worked as a diplomat there for two years."

   "Why don't you continue to be present?"

   Metternich watched Georgiana not speaking, and she subconsciously covered her face with a fan.

  "Are you a magician or a diplomat tonight?" Georgiana asked.

  "Which status makes you happy?" Metternich asked.

  She smiled.

   "Why do so many people want to make me happy tonight?"

   "Maybe it's because we want to see your charming smile, madam."

  She didn’t know what to say, but Metternich took the initiative to say, “Dresden is a beautiful city. It’s called Florence on the Elbe. You might be interested in the local customs.”

  Georgina didn't say anything, Metternich naturally walked to her side at this time, and the two of them left the crowd of onlookers together.

  The reason why Spain did not send envoys is obvious. The peace between Britain and France is very detrimental to them. She was also surprised that Austria would send envoys to congratulate them, because Napoleon’s attitude towards Austria is not friendly.

  He seems to be turning his face faster. After all, he asked Austria to buy horses and food last year because of famine.

  This may be because at that time the Amiens contract had not yet been negotiated, and the United Kingdom continued to block seas. French ships were unable to sail in the Mediterranean, so they needed land transportation, so they needed to borrow from Austria.

  Now Britain and France are at peace. Judging from his recent series of actions, Austria is the most likely to be unlucky. On the contrary, it seems that Prussia, which she has acted for, seems to be quiet.

  In other words, many people hope that Britain and France can continue to fight, and many people are looking forward to her death.

   "Can you tell me the secret of the fountain now? I promise not to tell anyone." Georgiana said.

  "Can you answer me a question."

"you say."

   "Are you really a witch, I promise, I won't tell anyone." Metternich said.

  Georgiana chuckled.

"Even if you do not know magic, I believe you have enough charm. The veil does not cover your face, but adds a sense of mystery. You only noticed that Lord Bonaparte was in a daze for you. I wonder if you noticed him. The person behind?"

   "I really didn't pay attention." She said in surprise.

   Metternich laughed and said nothing.

   "That's why a woman looks at me like that?" Georgiana said incredulously.

  "It was the first time I saw Bonaparte because a woman smiled at him and followed her. Everyone wanted to see your smile, so that they made you happy." Metternich said.

  Georgiana had to admit that she felt very happy now, but this kind of happiness soon disappeared when she saw a woman wandering around the mobile library out of the corner of her eye.

  The banker’s wife, Josephine’s friend is indeed beautiful, the key is to be young, and have a belly that can give birth to children.

   Regardless of how mysterious and intelligent you are, if you can’t give birth to children like Catherine Medici, it’s still difficult to gain a foothold in the court.

   "Why don't you smile?" Metternich asked.

  "Talk to me about Florence on the Elbe, I want to hear it." Giorgio Anna said with a cold smile.

  Meternich was not here to flirt, he talked about the local customs smoothly.

  He is very eloquent and looks very beautiful, which is more pleasing to the eye than Talleyrand, but Georgiana did not listen so seriously.

  After the Napoleonic Wars ended, Europe entered the "Metnich Era" in the next thirty years. He believed in the classical European diplomatic principles of "balance of power" and was a firm defender of feudal kingship.

  Sometimes you have to distinguish between friends and allies.

  She is still understanding this sentence, to be honest, this sentence is really puzzling.
