Chapter 1366: Guardian of Carthage

  Chapter 1366 Guardian of Carthage

   Throughout the ages, it has been the most common thing to encounter harsh and complex environments on the battlefield. Different regions in the world have created different climates and topography due to differences in geography and climate. The desert Gobi climate is very dry, there is a shortage of water, and there is no food to supply. Napoleon ate all the dog meat during his expedition to Egypt.

  But in fact, fighting in the desert is not the most terrifying. If it is said that the most difficult place to fight is jungle warfare.

  The small Pacific islands of World War II are all meat grinders.

  Compared with the French army from afar, the Saint Dominic guerrillas who are familiar with the terrain actually have an advantage. The only advantage is that most of the land in St. Dominic has been developed and turned into a farm, which may be better than the small Pacific island.

  There are almost no ordinary civilians in the jungle, especially the virgin forest, and the damp rain forest will also prevent the flintlocks from firing.

  Combining these conditions, the Chinese people finally won the algorithm, which is also a miserable victory.

  Napoleon’s rule was built on the basis of “dazzling victory”. A tragic victory cannot stir the passion of the French, let alone the failure of the previous expedition to Egypt.

  It is not only French and British people who came to participate in the hunt. Georgiana found that he did not follow the "king" to hunt. There were also many people wearing exotic costumes in the camp, including people wearing Southeast Asian costumes.

  Mrs. Rana, who temporarily serves as the maid of Giorgioanna, explained to her that this was Batavia’s envoy.

  The draft peace treaty signed on October 10 was only a preliminary consensus on the territories of Malta, Egypt, and the Cape of Good Hope. The trade agreement was still under negotiation. At that time, these allies were not allowed to participate in the meeting.

  In addition to trade, there is also the exchange of prisoners. In short, it seems too early to have a celebration party so early.

According to the rumors I heard from Giorgioanna, that celebration banquet was more interesting than Napoleon’s birthday celebration. Napoleoni’s ability to compose stories was quite powerful. After all, he once dreamed of being a writer. He had a great time at that banquet. Almost everyone They were all bluffed by what he called the Egyptian princess named after the "full moon".

Godin Poitwin even wanted to write an opera based on her story. The story of Marathi he wrote before was a big success, and the originally unknown young man suddenly became a famous "queen" writer in Paris. .

  The court marshal Di Roque was in charge of the script and book review when Lucien was away, and he was also Ufral’s son-in-law.

  Jules Uvral is the cousin of Julian Uvral. This family is a Spanish banker and lives in Paris. As a minister who participated in the Wuyue coup, Ufrar was not imprisoned like the mayor of Antwerp, but he could not leave at will. This time buying food just gave him a chance.

  The speculators will not let the opportunity pass. Everyone can see that the Anglo-French peace talks are only temporary. Even if they take risks, they will even offend Napoleon. Ufral could not help but reach out and seize this opportunity.

"The Butler" Granit was also chatting with Godan and Dillock. Sophie was next to Godin and listened to them in a seemingly unintelligible way. Maybe she found it really boring, so she was a little distracted. She first found out that George Anna walked toward them, and immediately pulled Godan's sleeve, and the men's eyes gathered on her.

   "No matter day or night, your beauty is always so dazzling." Granit said with a smile.

   "Thank you." Georgiana smiled and said, "What were you talking about just now?"

   "Six warships funded by Spain to your country." Granit said.

  It is impossible to break through the British navy with the Spanish navy alone. This is why Charles IV of Spain was so financially tight that he could not ship silver coins from Mexico to Europe. Spain has been an ally of France since the Battle of Toulon.

  What can six old warships do? The Spanish Navy is not the "Invincible Fleet" of the past.

  "Do you know which port these six warships sailed from?" Granit asked again.

  She shook her head.

   "Carthage, the hometown of Hannibal."

  Georgiana opened her eyes wide.

  "Your husband has a strong opponent." Granit teased, "We were just discussing whether these six warships will participate in this expedition to St. Dominic."

  She has a strong sense of unreality. Are the "hero" they discussed and the man who asked her to make a silly face really the same person?

   "The last time you played against Dusan Louvidul's army, how did it feel?" Dylock asked.

   "I'm afraid you have to ask our officers." Granit said somewhat arrogantly.

  "Are they still using poison arrows?" Dylock chuckles.

   "As far as I know they know how to use guns."

Georgiana remembered that the place where the ancient Indians lived grew a very poisonous plant called arrow poison. The locals often cut a scar on the trunk to let the resin flow out, and then apply the resin to the arrow. Hunt prey.

  This poison almost sees blood in the throat, and the Indians used this bow and arrow against the British colonists.

   "Does Saint Dominic have arrow poison wood?" Georgiana asked.

  Diloque and Godin didn’t understand what she said.

  "I don't think there is any. Arrowwood is only found on small islands in the Pacific." Granite said the Latin word for Arrowwood verbatim.

  "I know its antidote." She said happily, "Chew the lobelia first and then the horseshoe asana. Finally, eat some potatoes to detoxify."

  "How did you know?" Granit asked.

   "I know some herbs, it is recorded in the book." Georgian said, "These two plants only grow in India and Asia. It is often said that there is an antidote near the poison, just like arrow poison wood only grows in the Pacific Ocean."

   "You can make amulets for those who are going to travel." Granit said, "I heard scholars say that Egyptian wise women would use witchcraft and medicine to treat patients bitten by snakes and scorpions."

   "This is indeed a good idea." Georgiana applauded, "I can put the antidote in the amulet."

  "Please forgive me for taking the liberty, I will be out of company first." Godan suddenly said to Granit, then stopped Georgian's shoulder and took her away.

  There was Sophie who followed. After they left, Dillock and Granit immediately continued the topic.

  Walking to a place out of Granit’s sight, Godan stopped, and then looked at Georgiana with a smile.

   "Are you looking for something to do with me?"

   "I have an idea." Georgiana looked up at Godin "How about we build a monument?"

  "What to commemorate?"

"I was reading Cicero's book just now. Hannibal planned to **** a gold pillar from Juno's temple, but he wasn't sure if it was pure gold or gilded, so he drilled a hole. Found that it was pure gold inside, and was about to take it away, Juno appeared in his dream that night, and she warned him not to do that, otherwise she would let Hannibal lose a good eye, Hannibal listened In response to Juno’s warning, he ordered someone to build a golden calf from the gold shavings drilled out earlier and place it on the top of the pillar. I remember that Napolioni’s two expeditions to Italy did not erect any memorials. The names of the people who participated in the war are engraved on the pillars."

  Gordan smiled and shook his head.

   "Is this a bad idea?"

   "I suspect that I am dreaming." Godin smiled and said, "and it is a dream full of myths and epics."

   "I remember that you have a relative who is an architect. How about letting him take charge of the design?" Georgiana ignored Godin's crazy words.

  Why doesn’t she feel that way?

   "Where are we going to stand? What style?" Godin asked.

  "This is not the key point. I need gold and silver." Georgianna said, "Anyone who wants to leave her name on the pillar of the Chinese watch must donate money."

"How much do you need?"

"Don't ask me, you go ask him." Georgina gestured to the forest. "Especially silver. I want to do porcelain business. I will replace the silver plates of the nobles and rich people with porcelain plates. Go and ask. Is the porcelain factory in Fuer state-owned?"

   "Yes, miss." Godin said obediently.

  "Sèvres' porcelain was used by the French royal family, and the king often gave them as diplomatic gifts to other royal families." Sophie continued.

   "I believe other generals will be very interested in your proposal." Mrs. Rana said quickly.

  "I like bisque, the Rococo style is too gorgeous." Georgiana said to Godin, "but the porcelain for the Prince of Wales is a little bit gorgeous."

   "Yes, miss." Godan said with a smile.

  "Go and call Mrs. Leoncourt, I need the medicine from the pharmacy." Georgiana said to Mrs. Rana.

   "Yes." Mrs. Rana curtseyed to her, and then left.

   "Where did Matilda go?" Georgiana asked Sophie.

  Sophie shook her head.

   "I have a script to write. After she records the content, you can continue to write." Georgiana said to Godin, "Go work."

  Gordan bowed to her and left.

   "This is a hunting ground, but I don't want my maid to become someone else's prey." After Godan walked away, Georgiana said, "Please pay attention to your own words and deeds."

   "Yes, miss."

"If any of you dare to deceive in my name like Jeanna in the necklace incident, I will not just whip you up, I will ruin your face with a soldering iron, you go find her, I want to organize women We make amulets."

  Sophie curtseyed and left.

   Now Georgiana is alone.

   "Carolan, are you there?" she asked.

   "Yes." Caroland said lazily.

   "Do you think the one just now is magic?" Georgiana asked.

   "I don't know." Caroland whispered, "You looked a little scary just now."

   "I had no talent for prophecy before, and I don't know what happened." Georgiana said calmly.

   "Why don't I write the script for you, how about it?" Caroland said, "I have time anyway."

   "It's up to you." She said indifferently.

  It happened that the hunting team came back, and the horn was sounded in the camp.

  It seems that everything is the same as in the old times, except that the "king" has changed individuals.

In the crowd, she stared at the knight who was wearing a gray coat and was surrounded by hired servants. He looked a little serious and didn't seem to notice her sight, or was used to the feeling of being watched, and didn't look back. she was.

   "My king forgets me." She whispered Hearn's words in English. If she becomes a ghost, he will make a white deer with a crown and lock the throat like Richard II. Will he wear it at any time?

   "He won't forget you." Caroland persuaded, "You are like Isis, put him together again."

Giorgioanna remembered another secret recorded in the church library. The deeds of Domitian, the last emperor of the Flavic dynasty in Rome, were eradicated in the world. Only one sculpture was left in the entire Roman Empire. He His body was chopped into pieces, and his wife collected his broken body together and stitched together piece by piece.

   Then she found a sculptor and asked them to show the fate of her husband, and then the lady put the statue on the road to the Jupiter Temple.

  The church's book describes that he is an emperor hated by the elite and loved by the common people because he has funded many construction projects and provided entertainment for the masses.

  The army also loves the emperor. In addition to improving the treatment of soldiers, he personally led several military operations.

  This led to the emptiness of his treasury. He took a lot of wealth from the rich in a nearly robbery manner. Many of the Senate were executed by him for treason. In the end, the senators conspired to assassinate the emperor.

  The Senate was very happy with the death of the emperor, the civilians were indifferent, and the army was very sad. When the army was preparing to avenge him, it failed to make the trip due to lack of leaders.

  Domitian worships Minerva, and Christians regard him as one of the early emperors who persecuted Christians. The demon number 666 is a metaphor for Domitian.

  Gave the army "favoring" and privileges, and then it will be the turn of the rich and upstarts, otherwise they will dislike Napoleon, and will dazzle with others instead.

  After Hannibal's failure, Carthage remained independent in name but in fact became a vassal of Rome.

  How embarrassing.

  Amidst the cheers of the people, she walked to her tent silently, and later she had to face the "national hero" who had taken off her dazzling coat.
