Chapter 393, crowning the elected government
To say that God's will is so obvious that any scum who wants to disobey God's will will will certainly not succeed. So as soon as the wooden gate was opened, Polina, who had been blessed by God, rushed to the front, and those scum who tried to resist God's will, such as the Englishman named Andy in the first way, his horse accidentally collided with the horse in the second way, although there was no accident such as falling from the horse, but the speed of the Englishman was also obviously affected.
And now he is still blocked by other horses, and it has become difficult to accelerate or something, and horses have to rely on speed to cross obstacles in many cases, and in the case of suitable speed, it is a lot less effort to cross obstacles. Now it takes a lot of effort for Andy to catch up, and the whole rhythm is disrupted.
As for the Russian named Onegin on the other side, he was quite clever and did not collide with the seventh path, but in order to avoid the collision, his rhythm was also disrupted. In this way, Polina rode the dust and ran ahead undisturbed. And this track, she and her horse are already familiar and can't be more familiar. So just after the first lap of the race, Polina already had a clear advantage.
Although Andy and Onegin later got rid of the distraction and rushed to the front, the gap between them and Polina was already obvious, and even widened - because Polina's strength, at least on this track, was already very strong.
So in the end, Polina won the show jumping championship with an absolute advantage.
In the sprint and skeet races that followed, Polina won two more titles, making her the most winner of the Games. However, Polina's legend ended here, and in the subsequent pistol shooting and rifle shooting competitions, Polina made mistakes, especially in the rifle competition, when the last shot only needed to hit more than five rings to win the championship, Polina hit someone else's target with a nine rings. As a result, he didn't even get the third place.
The final event of the Olympics is the marathon. The marathon starts at the Panthéon and ends at the main venue of the Olympic Games, with a total distance of 42:195 kilometers. It was a very difficult project, but surprisingly, there were quite a few people who signed up for the project, and some even made their own Athenian military uniforms, armed with cowhide shields and short spears. Turning a good sports game into a carnival carnival.
However, these people couldn't run far, and basically didn't even run out of the city of Paris, and they withdrew from the race. By the time the athletes ran out of Paris, there were only a dozen people left in the original team of more than 100 people. But this is not the most embarrassing, the most embarrassing thing is that in the end, there are only two people who insist on running to the finish line. And the podium of the Olympic Games, according to the practice of later generations, has three positions.
With the end of the marathon, all the events of the entire Olympic Games are over, and all that remains is the closing ceremony. The closing ceremony is naturally the same old thing in the future, group exercises, speeches by various leaders, and mayors of the cities where the next Olympic Games will be held...... Well, I'm sorry for this one, I haven't picked it yet, so, this one has been skipped.
Of course, the final speech was still made by the Pope and the consul Bonaparte.
The Pope first said that this Games, a successful event, is a peaceful event, a grand event that conforms to God's will, and a grand event that can please God. He was full of confidence in the complete success of this grand meeting and in the realization of permanent peace in Europe. He was confident that Napoleon Bonaparte would lead the French people and indeed the people of Europe to usher in a golden age.
Finally, he said that there was an important gift to be entrusted to Bonaparte on behalf of God.
With that, he turned to Napoleon and motioned for him to come forward. Napoleon stepped forward. A bishop next to the Pope brought up a beautifully decorated box. The Pope opened the box and pulled out a crown from it.
"I, Servant of God, Pope Pius VI, by the will of God, I hereby declare that I grant Napoleon Bonaparte the title of Consul, 'Emperor of the Romans', Your Majesty Bonaparte, may God be with you."
As he spoke, the Pope placed the crown on Napoleon's head.
Napoleon seemed to react at this time, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty the Pope, how can you say that I am the first consul of the French Republic and the elected head of government, and I can become an emperor?" I see if you're ......"
"God has decided, and it is up to you to be the emperor of the Romans." The Pope said, "Besides, Your Majesty Bonaparte, you are the emperor of the Romans, this is the will of God, do not doubt the will of God." God said that if this was to be done, it would be done. Just as God believed that you would be able to protect the pious people of Rome. ”
"In that case......" Napoleon nodded, turning to the rest of the crowd in the main stadium who were surprised and excited by the sight:
"I, Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Consul of the French Republic elected by the French people, and the Anointed of God, Emperor of the Romans. I would like to make the following commitments to you today:
As the democratically elected first consul of the French Republic, I will, as always, uphold the democratic system and the republican form of government in France, and God testifies that France will always be a government of the broad French people, a government dominated by the broad masses of the French people, and a government at the service of all the French people. ”
This sentence was heard by all the people in the stadium through a loudspeaker, and everyone cheered: "Long live the First Consul!" Long live France! ”
"Long live democracy! Long live the republic! ”
If it had been Joseph who was speaking at this time, he would have waved at everyone and shouted "Long live the people." But Napoleon was not a time-traveler and would not play this kind of parody show. So although he waved to everyone to calm down, he didn't say the phrase "Long live the people".
When the cheers had subsided, Napoleon spoke:
"At the same time, as the anointed one of God, the emperor of the Romans. I'd also like to ask you to think about the question: What is Rome? What are Romans?
What is Rome? Is it Virgil's poetry? Is Pliny's "Nature's Angels"? Is it the Twelve Bronze Table Method? Is it the algebra of Theophondas?
Rome is the sum of all this, Rome is civilization, it is exploration, it is law, it is freedom. Rome is the civilization of mankind!
So what are the Romans? Anyone who aspires to the truth, to follow the law, and to pursue freedom is a Roman.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think, this is why God has given me the incomparably glorious title of Emperor of the Romans, and why I have accepted the crown of the Romans as the first consul of the French Republic. Long live Rome, long live human civilization. ”
