Chapter 2370 The Shadow of the King (Part 1)

   Before Napoleon decided to expedition to Egypt, there were still many Europeans living in the Levant.

  The French have dominated Levantine trade for nearly a century, and even when news of the beheading of Louis XVI came, nothing was affected except for the mourning of individual French merchants.

   In 1797, France signed the Treaty of Campo Formio and obtained the Ionian Islands, and Sultan Selim III noticed the difference. Just a few months before Napoleon was about to set sail, a large group of French expert advisers in Turkey, Greece, Syria and surrounding areas had received orders to pack up and head home. It's just that the vast majority of them did not return to France, but stayed in the Ionian Islands.

   After the French withdrew from Egypt, the British and Turks quickly occupied the power vacuum again, and for the Ottomans this was the perfect time to reshape the Egyptian province.

   But the British did not trust the Turks, and at the same time they were worried that Napoleon would try to retake Egypt, so they tried to restore the powerful Mamluk family, so they pressured the Ottomans to pardon the Bey who restored their own family.

  The Ottomans were reluctant to do that, but they succumbed in the end, and the French on the Ionian island were not isolated. Like everywhere else, the theatre became a key place for people to socialize and spread the word. Despite the authorities' best efforts to make residents feel "Greek's Free Age", various disturbances occurred in the theater. To maintain order, the police chief had to issue a disciplinary code in Greek, Italian and French that banned smoking, swearing, and carrying weapons in the theater.

  Ionian Island is also known as the Garden of the Gods, but as long as they think that their business is at risk of being robbed, no one is in the mood to continue "vacation" here. However, for the French to return to the Levant, France needed to restore relations with the Ottoman Empire.

As a "neutral country", Prussia hopes that England can make greater concessions in the "Navigation Regulations". Mocha coffee's most critical competitor is overseas colonies. Prussia has no overseas colonies. The duchy of Prussia was ceded away, but the marriage of Prussia and Orange in the Netherlands gave them a glimmer of hope. This time they divided up Austria, and they also took Nassau-Orange.

  The domain of the Nassau family is located in Hesse. After the establishment of the Republic of Batavia, William V ran here and is currently protected by Prussia.

   When the Treaty of Amiens was signed, the Netherlands ceded Ceylon, and the Prince of Orange received compensation. Frederick the Great left behind a principle - "Germany is your own" - which was also left behind, even the Tsar was involved in the partition because of Baden, a traditional ally of the Habsburgs The Pope said that "the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans no longer exists".

In July 1794, when the French army regained its strength after the defeat of Nellwinden and entered the lowlands again, in a tavern in Utrecht, 36 people from the Dutch provinces and places sent 36 people to discuss and assist the French army to advance. The Dutch plan, they were said to be ready, as soon as the French appeared, they would fight the Oranges, the intelligence proved accurate, and by the end of September the printed posters and leaflets had flooded the whole of Amsterdam, and by October An armed uprising broke out. With the cooperation of the Prussian and British garrisoned troops, the Orange regime finally suppressed the uprising.

  When the French army entered the Netherlands, the town was full of tricolor flags, and Utrecht was full of jubilant crowds.

General   Sélirie was born into an educated aristocratic family, and unlike Count Choiseul-Gouffier, a diplomat who had been active in Istanbul, he was good at dealing with Prussian issues rather than Greek history.

Choiseul-Guffier holds a license from the Ottoman Empire to transport cultural relics from Athens. In addition, he also helped the Ottoman Empire set up the Imperial Naval Engineering School, using the artillery and fortifications of the "Advisory Group" and experts in naval construction to develop a modern army for the Ottoman Empire.

This situation continued until 1793, when the Mountain faction took over the leadership of the Great Revolution and sent a new ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Confused and embarrassed by his situation, the count finally fled to St. Petersburg and became the head of the Russian public library. .

  The newly established society in Istanbul no longer studies Greek civilization, but oriental languages. Now they should have received the news and searched for the book about yin and mandrill written in Turkish in the library in Istanbul.

   If Timur did not receive the news in 1402, the Battle of Jingnan occurred in the east, and perhaps the westward expedition would not be stopped.

   Asking the scholars in Istanbul to find that book was not what Georgiana meant, but Bonaparte was probably really frightened by that "ghost flower", and in a sense, they were more terrifying than werewolves.

  Werewolves are also creatures of the dark night, but they have to wait until the full moon night. Ran Yin lives completely in darkness. They feel that darkness is a huge theater, where all the characters are absent, but all the plots are included.

  Blind people turn their vision from the outside to the inside, and it seems that they are not so easily confused by external appearances.

  If this is the case, how could Enrico Dandolo come up with such a way to free Venice from the Eastern Roman Empire?

Monroe finally found Syers and Talleyrand, hoping that the "Mississippi Crisis" could be resolved peacefully. France could not sell the entire Louisiana, retain the fertile Mississippi Delta and Orleans and other areas, and transfer the desolate and barren north to the north. The western wasteland was sold to the United States.

  This is completely different from the original plan to buy Orleans. They also opened a condition that if Napoleon agreed to this proposal, he would support France in future wars.

  You don't need fertile black soil to grow cotton, but that's not the point. In his first report on national debt, Hamilton made it clear that France, Holland, and Spain had to pay off their debts.

   "The government's credit needs to be built on a solid foundation, and it is necessary to do so. But it did not say that it would repay the British loan before the War of Independence", which was written into the "Paris Peace Treaty".

The premise that   dumping is beneficial to the importing country is that there is no production in the country, and it will not cause monopoly and monopoly prices, or will not affect the domestic industry of the importing country. For example, the tea of ​​the Boston Tea Party, tea is not produced in the United States, but it is monopolized by the East India Company, and the United States also produces coffee and other beverages.

  After the Boston Tea Party, Prime Minister North immediately fought back with the Boston Harbor Act. Although this choked Boston, it also put the East India Company in a dilemma in Boston.

   Duty-free for British steel is of course a benefit, but in order not to create a monopoly, it is necessary to introduce steel from other countries, so Bonaparte brought up the Silesia issue in front of the ambassadors of Prussia and Austria.

Although    Metternich's method was a little dark, he also looked down on her too much, and she had no way to make Bonaparte give up Silesia.

   At this moment, she heard the music of the cello, and from the open floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see the cellist Di Boer playing.

   "Want to hear?" Bonaparte asked her.

   She felt strange and looked him up and down, "Why are you so busy all of a sudden?"

   "You're strange." He said rebelliously, and then walked to the hall where dances and banquets were usually held.
