Chapter 3380 The Tide of the Earthly World (XV)

Georgiana walked towards the room where she was to meet the messenger.

Stanley mentioned Josephine just now. Rather than arousing her jealousy, it was better to say that he reminded her.

Americans once made a movie about Cleopatra. It is said to be a loss-making movie with a duration of 4 hours. Only the movie "Gone with the Wind" about the Civil War can be compared with it.

Chaos is an opportunity for men, but a disaster for women. When the deserter broke into the manor, Scarlett did not use a gun to "stop" him. This poor place with nothing can still hold a "party".

When facing a beast, there is no need to feel any guilt when shooting, because if you don't shoot and kill him, he will do something worse than a beast. It is even more undesirable to beg the intruder like Lily did. A woman's tears only work on "people" who care about her. Lily lives in peaceful Britain. Britain was not like the European continent during the two world wars.

Her rock-hard character that she believes she is right is similar to Voldemort's. Lily believes that there are only black magic and people who do not use black magic in this world, while Voldemort believes that there is no absolute good and evil in this world.

Lily does not look like a witch in every aspect, and of course she does not want to be a witch. When Severus first called her a witch, she still thought it was not a good word. However, when the wizard called her a mudblood, she still had the same attitude.

Most people can react to insults in time and fight back. Stanley kept calling Augustus and the Queen, which was like the German princes calling Talleyrand "Your Highness", a title that encompassed thousands of words of flattery.

There was an "enemy", they called themselves "no one", just like Odysseus, but Odysseus felt that he was no one, even though he had come up with the Trojan Horse plan to make the Greek coalition win. Because of this, he can be anyone, including pretending to be a beggar.

In addition to establishing the Roman Empire, Augustus also kept the empire at peace. In 13 BC, the Senate built an altar of peace (ara pacis) for him. It was discovered in the 17th century. The reliefs around the altar did not record Augustus's victory, but recorded his family and praying for peace. Augustus wore a sacrificial robe, not a warrior's dress.

There is a very famous sculpture of Augustus, he is wearing a breastplate with a relief on it, which is a Roman soldier presenting the Parthian flag to him.

Only the king can conquer Parthia. Caesar was the victim of this prophecy, although he was assassinated, this prophecy was just one of many reasons.

Augustus was not like Caesar. He had no interest in Cleopatra, who ate 100 million sesterces for a meal, and even tied her and Antony's bodies to a chariot and brought them back to Rome. The image of women on the altar of peace was also dignified.

Horace's odes also reflected the spirit of the times. He believed that the affair between men and women was the cause of the civil war:

Marriage has become a victim of a filthy era.

The stain spread from one family to the entire nation.

This is the source of our shame, drowning the people and the motherland.

In the imagination of the Romans, stepmothers are vicious creatures. They pour poison into their husbands' ears and put it into the food of their children born from their ex-wives.

Livia was such a stepmother in the eyes of the Romans. Whether it was the death of Lucius in Marseille in 2 AD or the death of Gaius in Armenia, it was believed that it was related to her conspiracy, so that she could successfully help him ascend to the throne. Her great-grandson Caligula called her "Ulysses in a petticoat".

How can a woman not be kind? How can a vicious woman be cute?

In "Golden Eyes", there is a villain female killer. There is a scene telling that she and 007 meet in a steam bath. That bath is Roman style. She seems to be the incarnation of a succubus.

Georgiana opened a bathhouse on the Ourc Canal just to give the muddy canal workers a place to wash after work, but she didn't expect this to become a "problem".

After the Sardinia Conference, the magical animals were hidden. Compared with those fictional monsters, there is still a kind of monster that is easier to find.

The fruit on the tree of good and evil did not directly make people bad, but made humans have the possibility of becoming bad.

After Eve touched the tree, she knew that her death was approaching, so she wanted to pull Adam to die together, otherwise after her death, Adam would have a new woman. If Adam also ate the forbidden fruit, they would live and die together.

At this time, the door in front of Georgiana opened, and two people were inside. One of them walked around the window impatiently with his hands behind his back, and the other sat on the sofa to pour tea for himself.

They noticed the movement at the door and looked at Georgiana together.

She smiled at them.

It was not a fake smile... more like a reward, after all, they didn't give her jewelry, which women love.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen." Georgiana said to the two men, "Thank you for your gifts, I like them very much."

"I was betting with Count Levi, which one you prefer, ancient Greece or ancient Rome, and it seems that I won." The old man standing by the window said.

Georgiana looked at the younger one.

In fact, before the signing of the Treaty of Campo Formio, Bonaparte had already formed an alliance with Sardinia, although the Directory did not agree with him to do so at the time, and Bonaparte could get the assistance of 10,000 Piedmontese soldiers without paying any price.

Bonaparte had been hinting or hinting to Georgiana to ask Switzerland to send troops... General Ney occupied Zurich without bloodshed, and some subsequent actions made him appreciated by Bonaparte and Talleyrand.

She didn't know if Murat could do the same as Ney, but people who went out to fight couldn't take care of both ends, and the rear needed peace and security.

"Winning or losing is not important." Georgiana looked at the older messenger. "During the Thirty Years' War, Denmark didn't actually have to get involved, but the Danes wanted to expand their influence in the Baltic Sea, and they hastily marched without sufficient preparation. Denmark suffered a serious blow. Not only did it sign the Treaty of Lübeck with the German Emperor to guarantee non-interference, but the war also severely damaged Denmark's vitality and had to ally with Sweden."

Both looked at her.

"It would be great if the King of Denmark didn't participate in the war. Gunpowder can also be used to set off fireworks. During a visit, the King of Denmark invited James I to visit his big ship. Unfortunately, the tides in Britain were unpredictable, so he could only set off fireworks during the day." Georgiana said with a smile.

"But not everyone can drink as well as he does," said Count Leville. "I heard that the garrison of Gibraltar was drunk."

She felt that they didn't understand at all.

Now the Kingdom of Sardinia only has Sardinia, and Napoleon's huge empire didn't even defend the "natural border" in the end...

"I heard that General Augereau is in urgent need of guards now, and no one is more familiar with the situation in Turin than us." Count Leville said.

Stanley snorted lightly, as if his throat was itchy.

Georgina remembered the pocket watch that Murat gave her at this time, so why not take it out now?

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and soon the Marquis of Rollebon appeared.

"Madam, the carriage is ready." Rollebon said at the door.

She didn't remember arranging a carriage...

"Excuse me, gentlemen." Georgiana said to the Sardinian envoy, and then followed Rollebon.

No matter where you go, leave this place first.
