Chapter 2370 The King's Shadow (Part 1)

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

The French had dominated trade in the Levant for nearly a century, and even the news of the beheading of Louis XVI was unaffected except for a few French merchants who expressed their condolences.

In 1797, France signed the "Campo Formio Treaty" and obtained the Ionian Islands. Sultan Selim III noticed something strange. Just a few months before Napoleon was about to set sail, a large French expert advisory group in Turkey, Greece, Syria and the surrounding areas had received orders to pack their bags and go 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 soon occupied the power vacuum, and it was the perfect time for Ottomans to reshape the Egyptian province.

But the British didn't trust the Turks, and at the same time they were worried that Napoleon would try to take back Egypt, so they tried to restore the powerful Mamluk family, so they put pressure on the Ottomans to pardon those Bey who restored their own family.

The Ottomans were reluctant to do that, but they succumbed in the end. The French on the Ionian islands were not isolated from the world. Like everywhere else, the theater became a key place for people to socialize and spread the word. Despite the authorities' best efforts to give residents a sense of "the free age of Greece," riots of all sorts erupted in the theater. In order to maintain order, the police chief had to issue disciplinary codes in Greek, Italian, and French, prohibiting smoking, swearing, and carrying weapons in the theater.

Ionian Island is also known as the Garden of the Gods, but as long as you think that your business is at risk of being snatched away, no one is in the mood to continue to "vacate" here. However, if the French want to return to the Levant, France needs to repair its relationship with the Ottoman Empire.

As a "neutral country", Prussia hopes that England can make greater concessions in the "Navigation Regulations". The most important competitor of Mocha Coffee is its overseas colonies. The principality of the country was ceded away, but the marriage between Prussia and Orange in the Netherlands gave them a glimmer of hope. This time they carve up Austria, and they also brought Nassau-Orange.

The territory 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. When Frederick the Great left behind a principle—"Germany belongs only to himself"—this principle was also left behind, and even the Tsar was involved in this partition because of Baden. The Pope, a traditional ally, said that "the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans no longer exists."

In July 1794, when the French army regained strength after the defeat at Nerwinden, and entered the lowlands again, in a tavern in Utrecht, 36 people from local associations from various provinces of the Netherlands were dispatched to discuss and assist the French army in advancing. The Dutch plan, it is said that they are ready, as long as the French army appears, they will fight the Orangemen. Facts have proved that this information is accurate. By the end of September, the printed posters and leaflets have flooded the whole of Amsterdam. October An armed uprising broke out, and with the cooperation of the Prussian and British garrisons, the Orange regime finally suppressed the uprising.

When the French army entered the Netherlands, the towns were filled with tricolor flags, and Utrecht was full of jubilant crowds.

General Cérulière was born into a well-bred noble family. 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-Gouffier can transport cultural relics from Athens because he holds a charter from the Ottoman Empire. In addition, he also helped the Ottoman Empire to establish the Imperial Naval Engineering School, using the artillery, fortifications and and naval construction experts to develop a modern army for the Ottoman Empire.

This situation continued until 1793, when the Montagne took the leadership of the Revolution and sent a new ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. The count was confused and embarrassed by his situation, and finally fled to St. Petersburg to serve as the head of the Russian public library. .

The newly established society in Istanbul no longer studies Greek civilization, but Eastern languages. They should have received the news by now, and they should look for the book about yin and mandrill written in Turkish in the library of Istanbul.

If Timur hadn't received the news in 1402, the battle of Jingnan had occurred in the east, and perhaps the westward expedition would not have stopped.

It wasn't Georgiana's intention to ask the scholars in Istanbul to look for that book, but Bonaparte was probably really frightened by the "ghost flowers". In a sense, they were more terrifying than werewolves.

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

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 make Venice independent from the Eastern Roman Empire.

Monroe finally found Siers and Talleyrand, hoping to resolve the "Mississippi Crisis" peacefully. France could not sell the entire Louisiana, retain the fertile Mississippi Delta and Orleans, and transfer the desolate and barren north to the The wilderness of the West was ceded to the United States.

This is completely different from only planning to buy Orleans at the beginning. They also made a condition that if Napoleon agrees to this proposal, he will support France in future wars.

Cotton does not require fertile black soil, but this is not the point. In his first report on the national debt, Hamilton clearly pointed out that the debts of France, the Netherlands, and Spain should be paid off.

"The government's credit needs to be established on a solid foundation, and it is necessary to do so. But there is no talk of repaying the British loan before the War of Independence", which was written in 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 local industry of the importing country. For example, the tea at the Boston Tea Party was not produced in the United States, but it was monopolized by the East India Company, and coffee and other beverages were also produced in the United States.

After the Boston Tea Party, Prime Minister North immediately used the "Boston Port Act" to fight back. Although this choked Boston's throat, it also put the East India Company in a dilemma in Boston.

Exemption from tariffs on British steel is of course a preference, but in order not to create a monopoly, it is necessary to introduce steel from other countries, so Bonaparte brought up the Silesian issue in front of the ambassadors of Prussia and Austria.

Although Metternich's method was a little dark, but he thought highly of her too much, how could she make Bonaparte give up Silesia.

At this moment, she heard the music of the cello, and through the open French windows, she could see the cellist Di Boer playing.

"Want to hear it?" Bonaparte asked her.

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

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