Chapter 498 Magic will help France become great again! (Please book, please vote)
The sapphire ring on Queen Victoria's fingertips rippled in the morning light, and the gilded dome of the malachite hall flickered. When Viscount Palmerston's official box opened, a mystic aura from the East hit the face.
A lead-sealed document bag specially used by the British Cabinet was a dragon fire paint with fangs and claws. This was the badge chosen by the Cabinet Magic Conference for the British Magic Committee.
"Your Majesty, this is the draft charter of the British Magic Commission." The Prime Minister unfolded the parchment. Prince Albert put on his glasses, took the document, looked at it carefully, then handed it to the queen, and nodded slightly.
The Prime Minister continued: "Since modern magic originated in China, Article 13 states that candidates of the president need to be able to master Chinese quickly; secondly, they must have sufficient scientific literacy. The people of the Royal Academy of Sciences believe that magic
There is no boundary between him and science; finally, he should be a devout believer of the Anglicans,
It is best to be proficient in theology."
The Queen's scepter hit the ground, and the bells of Westminster Abbey passed through the colorful windows. She stared at Michael Faraday, the first on the list: "Faraday? What is he doing?"
Palmerston's cigar smoke condensed into a cloud of "auspicious clouds" in the air that seemed to come from the mysterious East, and then slowly dissipated: "Your Majesty, he may be the closest person in England to master magic!"
"Why do you say that?" asked Prince Albert.
"Because Wang Libin, the representative of the Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, ordered a generator in London that he didn't know what it was for, and repeatedly asked the British officials who accompanied him about the situation of Faraday who discovered the law of electromagnetic induction, and even wanted to be convenient.
He was invited to give lectures in China. According to the recollection of our former minister in China, the generator ordered in London and made by the French was later installed in the palace of the Prime Minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Suzhou...:::.
So the cabinet's magic question conference guessed that mysterious electricity is likely to be a kind of psychic energy. Professor Faraday is an expert in this field, so I listed him first on the list of candidates for the chairman, and he is also the magic committee spirit.
The only candidate for director.”
The Queen pointed her finger at George Stokes, the second candidate on the list: "What is this Stokes doing?"
"He is a mathematician, a master of logic." The Prime Minister took out a paper full of formulas and large paragraphs of text from the document bag and handed it to Prince Albert. "He used mathematical calculations and logic
Deduction,
Prophecy, magic, and curse were analyzed, and a relatively reasonable explanation was given. He also believed that combining mathematics and occupation could help unravel the secrets of prophecy, and prophecy was the gateway to the magic world!
, He is also the number one candidate for the Magic Committee's math director."
The queen's eyes swept over Sir Wenxian's name again, he ranked third on the shortlist of the chairman of the Magic Committee and was also the number one candidate for the Director of the Oriental Mystery Affairs.
The Prime Minister took another cigar and said: "Sir Wen Xian's scientific literacy is slightly inferior to the previous two, but he is already proficient in Chinese, and has a lot of research on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is familiar with all the works of Luo Yaoguo, and he is also one.
Devote the Holy Lords believers.”
The Queen was not moved by Palmerston's words, but looked at the last person on the list, and then her eyes lit up: "Arthur Richard Wellesley...::.. The second generation
Duke Wellington? Is he also proficient in science and Oriental mysticism?”
The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Your Majesty, he is a Wellesley, his own person! And he is also an excellent soldier, loyal to the royal family." The Queen nodded, and the Prime Minister continued, "In addition, he is still
Members of the Masonic and the Hermes Society of England.”
Prince Albert interjected, "Hermes Society? It's the one who specializes in alchemy, crystal balls, and tarot cards? I didn't expect that the second Duke of Wellington would be interested in these things."
The Queen finally smiled satisfied: "Isn't this exactly the talent we need? I think with the second Duke of Wellington, Britain will continue to lead in the age of magic, just like her position in the industrial age.
!”
When the twilight on the Seine River condensed into a mist, as if it had obscured the future history, Napoleon III was cutting open the commander-in-chief of the French Expeditionary Force François Celtan Conrobel with a letter breaking knife inlaid with Waterloo's broken iron.
The general sent a quick message from the front line of Crimea. With the description of this French general, the smoke of gunpowder, the disease and the long and difficult winter on the battlefield all came into the mind of the French emperor one by one.
Of course, there is also the bleak back of his uncle, Emperor Napoleon, when he retreated from Moscow.
The footsteps of the imperial secretary shattered the illusion in the emperor's mind. The blue sealing paint of the telegram in the man's hand oozed out of the smell of Russian ice. The emperor quickly opened the telegram, looked carefully, and then exposed it.
He looked surprised: "The British have established a magic committee...:::. This time they are really efficient, they are one step ahead of France!"
"Call Archbishop Paul!" The emperor suddenly pulled open the scarlet velvet curtains. In the twilight God of War Square, a team of emperor's guards were conducting routine patrols. The sunset fell on the snow-lit bayonet, reflecting golden light.
, it's just dusk is approaching.
France has lagged behind Britain in the era of industrialization, and can no longer lag behind in the upcoming era of magic...:::. With the help of magic, France will definitely achieve greatness again!
"Check with my royal carriage!" the emperor shouted, "Call the foreign ministers as well... ::... and Professor Fluron and Professor Benal, be sure to be quick!"
Seeing the imperial secretary running away, the French emperor took out a piece of royal parchment from his desk drawer, and then wrote beautiful floral characters on it with a quill pen. The beginning was: My dearest
Mathilde.::::
When the emperor's carriage invited Archbishop Paul, Foreign Minister Alexander Varevsky, two colleges of the French Academy of Sciences, Professors Tuflolon and Professor Benal to the Duilary Palace, the emperor had already invited Archbishop Paul, the
After writing a long letter to Princess Mathilde, he sent it to China with the fastest steamship. Although Mathilde and Luo Yaoguo are not familiar with it, Li Hongzhang's ancestor seemed to be a great ancient Chinese
Magicians, people respectfully call him the Supreme Laojun.::::. He should know some secrets of magic, right?
"Architect, Duke, gentlemen of the Academy of Sciences!
The emperor sat on the velvet cushion of the imperial throne, with a very solemn expression: "Just received the news, the Queen of England has signed the decree to establish the British Magic Committee...:::. The United Kingdom once again walked in front of France, the first to go
Entering the age of magic!”
"Your Majesty!" Archbishop Paul whispered, "In fact, Britain is not the first country to enter the magic era, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the first!"
Napoleon III's face looked even more ugly: "Then we are even more behind! France must lead...:
She can't be a backward, mediocre country! Now, please tell me how should I use magic to make France bigger?"
Hearing this question, the two French Academy of Sciences were a little stunned. Professor Fluron and Professor Benal were both engaged in medicine, physiology, biology, and magic, but they do not doubt it now.
Human beings have entered the age of magic.
The reason is simple. The British, who have always been leading, have established a magic committee! France has to keep up anyway. Since the defeat of Napoleon I, France's national policy is to "follow" Britain, not only keep up in international politics, but also
Following strategies are adopted in all other aspects, allowing the British to explore the way forward, and France will be the second child. This will not only keep France from falling behind Britain too much, but also save the expense of exploring unknown fields.
And exploring the emerging magic is undoubtedly risky and costly... If Britain does not do this, then France should not follow. Now that Britain has begun this exploration, then France
You have to follow up.
"Your Majesty," Professor Fluron helped his monocle and said seriously: "We should give full play to the advantages of the French education system and establish the world's first magic academy!"
Professor Benal added: "The British Magic Committee has established three directors of psychic energy, mathematics and mysterious problems in the East. Then the French Magic Academy should set up corresponding departments to psychic energy,
Mathematics and Orientalism conduct systematic research and exploration."
The French Foreign Minister immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, I suggest that this magic academy can be named after your great uncle Napoleon I, and is called Napoleon I Magic academy."
Archbishop Paul took the opportunity to propose: "Your Majesty, I think that letting the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fight together with the French army will definitely help the French magic experts to see the secrets of Eastern magic!"
Napoleon III was quite satisfied with the suggestions made by the four people in front of him, and he spit out a sip of the smoke from the cigar.
Then he watched it slowly spread out in front of him, as if the future also appeared in front of him: "Very good,
France must lead the world in the issue of establishing a magic academy.::::.The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has not yet opened a magic academy, right?"
"No." Archbishop Paul shook his head, "In fact, there are only a few people who truly master magic in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."
Napoleon smiled and said, "This is Eastern conservatism. We cannot do this in France. This will only make magic lose...:::. I will immediately allocate funds to establish the Napoleon Magic Academy to carry out systematic and comprehensive magic research and education.
.Magic will surely make France great again! In addition, France welcomes the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as an ally to send troops to the Crimean Peninsula...::::.Alexander, you are responsible for negotiating with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's mission!"
