Chapter 3512 whispering branches (Part 2)
When Pomona and Severus passed through Bern in the 20th century, they visited the local "Bear Park". They went according to the introduction in the travel magazine. There was no one in the park at that time.
Severus bought a camera there, he didn't say how much it cost, but with the price of the hotel suite they were staying in, she figured it wouldn't be cheap.
Aloyes Redding served in the Spanish army and returned to Switzerland before the outbreak of the Revolution. 17rgarten) fought the French army on the ancient battlefield, but victory did not favor him and he was forced to submit to the new regime, but Reading and his friends never gave up their efforts to restore the federal system.
The canton of Fore (Forest) formed a resistance alliance and sent representatives to the canton of Schwyz to meet with Reading. They decided to raise an army in Zurich and put it under the command of General Bachmann, who was Louis XVI of Switzerland. A veteran of the Guards, he served in Sardinia after the Revolution as a major. He was later promoted to command the Swiss Army and took orders from the British. After the Treaty of Amiens, the army was disbanded, and he and his comrades returned to Switzerland.
Madame de Staël's father, Necker, was a famous banker in Switzerland and the finance minister of Louis XVI.
In fact, Switzerland is very rich. Barney said that Bern is like a golden mountain. In 1798, Napoleon planned to expedition to Egypt, but lacked military funds. Both the Directory and him set their sights on Switzerland and Rome, so the French invaded Switzerland that year. , they "carried away" gold bricks and gold coins worth 16 million francs, ordnance and ammunition worth 7 million francs, and other supplies worth 18 million francs in Switzerland.
At that time, there were 68 ruling families in Bern and 86 ruling families in Zurich, and they were allowed to add "von" to their names to indicate their noble status.
The Canton of Graubunden abolished the privileges and titles of the nobility in 1798. In 1797, Napoleon planned to incorporate the Canton of Graubunden into the Republic of Western Chalpi, but the Graubunden people refused and gave them a second choice. Given the chance to become citizens with equal rights or leave, he confiscated the properties of all the noble families of Graubünden.
So when Bachmann returned to Switzerland, he led a "mixed" force composed of a small group of regular troops and a large number of armed peasants with only pitchforks and sickles. These peasants only needed to change their weapons and they could serve as the royal guard." Swiss mercenaries".
The Swiss had agreed to give Napoleon an army, but at the same time, the "Mediation Act" also required that "the Swiss Republic will have no national army, and the cantonal self-defense forces will accept the help of the French army to defend the fortress when necessary." Ney stayed in Switzerland to ensure that The Conciliation Act can be implemented. But just last month, a rebellion broke out in the barracks in Bern. Ney mobilized all the French troops to rush to Bern. The rebels were planning to go to the arsenal to occupy the cannons there, but the French army stopped them and headed towards the barracks. Drive them away. The rioters lost confidence and returned to their barracks, letting their commanders order them. The riot ended at 1 o'clock in the night, and Ney kept the French army fully armed until sunrise the next day.
The cause of the rebellion was a rumor circulating in the army, and the unit was about to be transferred to France. The camp was very quiet before 11 o'clock that day, until a cavalry horn broke the silence.
"What kind of rumor is that? No, are you asking for leave at this time?" Georgiana said in disbelief.
"They were just misled. Except for the five rioters, the rest were not punished." Ney looked at the road ahead and said, "The Swiss Republic Army continued to march towards the French border. This time they did not encounter any obstacles. You almost met."
She didn't understand why Bonaparte would transfer Swiss people to France.
Then she asked "What would happen if I called the Swiss?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm asking you." Ney looked at her and said with a smile, "What do you think will happen?"
she imagined.
Originally, according to the Swiss constitution, cantons were only allowed to have self-defense forces. In order to meet her needs, cantons would restart conscription, and then...
"So, I did the right thing?" Georgiana asked.
"What do you think Murat would have thought if he didn't see the reinforcements?" Ney asked.
She now wondered whether Bonaparte wanted another brother-in-law.
"What other options does he have?" Georgiana asked Ney.
"The Austrians have always wanted to take back Lombardy. They once assembled an army of 60,000 people in Bavaria, but now Bavaria hopes to form a barrier between France and Austria." Ney said.
"Bavaria also wants to become the second Prussia?" Georgiana asked.
"I am only a soldier, and I only know that if Austria now wants to make a legitimate claim to Veneto, it must recognize the Treaty of Luneville, which is not only a reaffirmation of the Treaty of Campo Formio; Give up the sovereignty of the left bank of the Rhine. They can not lose the Veneto, but they cannot lose the Rhine. The treasure of the Nibelungs is the honor of old Germany, which will always be lost. You just mentioned Queen Maria Theresa, then you It should be known that it is tariff barriers that lead to the separatism of small countries, which is particularly prominent in the Rhine region, and this is the main reason why many people on the left bank of the Rhine support France.”
Georgiana thought of Schendelhannes, no wonder he lost the Left Bank.
So she casually told Ney the information she heard from Radesky.
At this moment, she felt the feeling of being treated as a chess piece again. Only the chess player knows the overall situation, while the chess piece is like being in the fog and can only act according to the orders of the chess player.
This feeling is not good, but if she were to play by herself, she didn't think she could win, so taking one step at a time was the best choice for her.
At this time, they had walked back to Villa Melzi, and breakfast was arranged in the pavilion by the lake. There were also two other guests waiting.
They should be the Countess of Porte and the Marquise of Crusoe. The Marquise's maiden name was Bezier, which was the name of a port in southern France, very close to Spain.
It is no longer known how old it is. It is said that it was a colony of ancient Rome. Crusoe is the name of another old town. It is located on the banks of the Rhone Valley, and the remains of the 12th-century fortress can still be seen.
Porte (portes) is translated into English as port, or it can be said that it is a noble title made up by the king to raise money.
These French women all have very sweet and beautiful smiles, and their table manners are very elegant, as if they are not eating, but playing some musical instrument.
They speak briskly, confidently and appropriately, and the key is that they are very tactful. Even if Georgiana frowns, they will notice it and talk about other topics as if to "save the situation".
It is impossible to go wrong with such a breakfast, but Georgiana herself feels aggrieved.
At the same time, she thought of Severus, who always said bluntly that her well-trained smile was ugly.
How can it be good-looking if it is not a sincere smile?
After breakfast, Bougainville "happens to appear" and continues to play in the villa with Ney. The two ladies follow Georgiana, as if waiting for her to give orders.
Canned food is still a luxury, but it is still regarded as military supplies to Saint-Domingo, even though it contains horse meat.
If there is a franchise or "buyout", Georgiana herself will also become "smiling and welcoming".
What's more, the sealer used to preserve wheat in ancient Rome was cast iron, just like canned food.
What should we play?
At this moment, she turned her head and saw Coco, and she had an idea.
