Chapter 231: Arriving in Eastern Europe
Char's clairvoyance gave him another perspective on the world, giving him a clear direction for the future of the world.
As Char said, this war is only the beginning, not the end.
The people lost in this war, the land occupied, and the countries that are strong or weak as a result, will be the cause of the next war.
Of course, the root cause is the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution will widen the gap between the industrialized and agricultural countries, and as the industrial revolution brings cheap goods to another country, the deficit of the country will widen, and the country will gradually become unable to pay its debts.
The state is different from the individual, there is a legal limit for people who cannot pay their debts, but the state does not, the state is a violent machine, and when they cannot pay their debts, they will make the best choice, that is, war, that is, to kill the creditor.
One contradiction after another will be re-stacked and eventually released at a critical juncture.
At that time, these are not the only people who will die, and more powerful weapons will make the war more brutal.
The pattern of the world will also change as a result, Britannia may disintegrate or become stronger, and so will Beichen.
Therefore, there is no need to rush these things, the seeds are planted, and they will eventually take shape in the future.
However, these things have nothing to do with Char for the time being.
After all, human beings have to measure the earth with their own feet, and all Char has to do is to guide.
Next, just wait.
this day.
Char was lying lazily on the chaise longue in the courtyard as usual, and Cassifer was flying in the air at the moment, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the sun was warm.
Next they're going back to Northern Europe.
Char's previous travel plan was to enter Northern Russia from Northern Europe, and then go around the northern part of Beichen to tour the southern land.
So in fact, if they follow their plan, Egypt will arrive very late, but because the plan of the Philosopher's Stone is advanced.
Although they were in the air, in fact, due to the existence of the magic barrier, the wind was not too strong, and only a slight breeze was filtered by the barrier and brushed across their cheeks.
Alicia sat on a chair on one side soaking her coffee, feeling a little more awake just after waking up for a cup of coffee.
She has become very proficient, grinding the beans in a manual grinder, placing the filter paper on top of the cup, and finally pouring the ground coffee into granulated sugar on top of the filter.
Then pick up the kettle on one side and pour hot water on it.
After the hot water passes through the ground coffee, it becomes a coffee filter and enters the cup.
Her movements are very clean, and there is a different artistic conception, which makes people feel like they are watching a tea ceremony.
Alicia was facing Char on her side, her chair had no backrest, and she was wearing a silk pajama that showed off her waist and hips when she sat down.
This kind of curve is not something that can be achieved through exercise, some people can lose body fat through exercise, so that the waist is slightly thinner, but generally the fat on the buttocks will also be lost with exercise.
And if you want to make your waist thin and have a certain amount of fat on your buttocks, showing a beautiful curve and straightness, that is only what genes can do.
Char had noticed this a long time ago, but the most beautiful thing was when she sat with her bare jade back, the lines of her back were very even, her skin was white and delicate, petite and delicate, and she had a soft bone feeling, which made people want to caress it with her fingertips.
But there is no obscene feeling, just like the ancient Greek human body sculpture, with a natural human body beauty, very artistic.
So Char is now appreciating it from a pure beauty perspective.
But this is not Char's outfit, his desire has been satisfied last night.
As if sensing Char's gaze, Alicia turned her head and whispered.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, you're so charming, Alicia." Char said with heartfelt emotion.
Alicia's ears lifted, although they weren't a couple who had just been together, she was still happy to hear her lover's praise.
She silently lifted the coffee pot and poured herself and Char a cup of coffee.
"What do you want to eat at noon today?" Alicia asked, "How about pan-fried tuna?" β
"Sounds good." Char said.
The tuna in the castle's freezer had been distributed to the students a few nights ago, but they still had some left.
That night, Tony carried the tuna straight around the auditorium, enjoying a round of exclamations from the students, who really understood the fishing.
He also made the skeleton into a taxidermy and hung it directly on the table behind his office.
"We're going to Eastern Europe next," Alicia thought for a moment, "and how about another borscht?" β
Borscht (Russian: ΠΠΎΡΡ), also known as beetroot soup, is a dish that is widely used in Eastern Europe, probably between the 5th and 9th centuries BC.
"Will you do it?"
"Of course I do." "There are a lot of people from Russia in Britannia. β
"Sounds good, I haven't drunk borscht yet."
As they talked, the castle gradually descended to its heights, descending into the clouds, and then slowly descending on a hill.
With a slight tremor, several of the castle's mechanical feet sank deep into the dirt, startling a few birds to flutter their wings and fly high.
Winter has just passed, spring has just arrived, and the tender green shoots have used their accumulated winter strength to sprout their branches, and under the castle is a lush meadow surrounded by dense forests.
Eastern Europe has abundant tree resources.
The Russian people first lived around the forest, and their ancestors built their dwellings with local materials for generations, and the wood resources were inexhaustible, forming a traditional wood-based structural architectural style.
Below the hillside is the land where the Slavs lived.
Since the end of the 10th century, after the acceptance of Christianity, under the influence of religion, stone buildings began to appear on this land, but they were mostly used for public buildings.
The main purpose of this form of stone architecture is to create a solemn, elegant, great, and noble atmosphere based on God, so that believers can feel a sense of reverence.
The appearance is elegant and elegant, high and square, with a number of semicircular canopies standing at the top.
In that era of polytheism, for ordinary people, there was indeed a certain feeling of God being above all else.
However, they were not completely influenced by Western Europe, and still have some national architectural characteristics of their own, such as the architectural techniques developed from wooden structures, such as the layered structure and the large inclined tabernacle spire, as well as the folk reliefs derived from the facades; Freestanding tower structure with tall and grand style.
St. Petersburg, which was used as the capital in this era, is located on the Baltic Sea coast, at the mouth of the Neva River, and is the political, status and economic center of the country.
Although the history of this world has changed beyond recognition, the course of the country's history has not changed much.
Before that, they welcomed a male lord.
The fifth Tsar of the Russian Romanov dynasty and the first emperor of the Russian Empire, known as Peter I in history, also existed in another world.
Later generations honored him as Peter the Great, one of only two "Greats" in Russian history.
In the history of this world.
Peter I ascended the throne in 1682, became pro-government in 1689, and in 1697 sent a mission to Beichen to learn advanced technology, and himself went with the delegation under the pseudonym Corporal Pyotr Mikhailov.
He successively studied shipbuilding and navigation technology in Beichen and the Western Empire, and hired a large number of scientific and technological personnel to work in Russia.
After returning to China, he actively set up factories to develop trade, culture, education, and scientific research, and at the same time reformed the military, established a Europeanized army and navy, and then waged war.
In 1721, after his victory in the Northern War with Sweden, Peter I was awarded the title of "Emperor of All Russia" by the Russian Senate. On February 8, 1725, Peter I died in St. Petersburg.
During the reign of Peter I, comprehensive reforms were carried out in the fields of politics, economy, military and science and technology, and the history of the development of politics, economy, culture, education, science and technology in modern Russia all originated from the time of Peter I.
Make Russia one of the great powers of Europe.
If this country can develop according to the course of past history, then it has the ability to become a pole of the world without Char's interference.
Perhaps in the agricultural era, such a large amount of permafrost would not be able to sustain human beings, but in the industrial age, it is different, and the huge resources will make heavy industry extremely powerful.
It will also give them a very good strategic depth.
In the past, this empire did not know how many heroes had been dragged to death by relying on this strategic depth and climate.
Napoleon fell here, and even the fallen painter who also conquered most of Europe came to an end because of this land.
Beichen's strategy is to the south, and the ultimate strategic target is Australia and Zealand Asia, and it is not interested in the frozen soil in the north, which also gives the country room for development.
"I have two more classes in the morning." Alicia came back to her senses and said, "I'll walk around the city with you when I get back." β
She leaned over Char and kissed her lightly, then walked into the castle to change her clothes and go to class.
Char picked up the coffee she had just brewed, silently dispersed the outer barrier, blowing the breeze from the valley with the fragrance of mountains and trees, admiring the architectural beauty of this culture in the distance.
I have to say that the artistic achievements of this country are actually very amazing.
As a country that connects Europe and Beichen, they have been influenced by the cultures of both the East and the West, and have developed their own culture accordingly.
Char, as if thinking of something, also walked back to the living room, and came out again, with a beret often seen on the painter's head.
He also carried a small bag in his hand, which contained a drawing board and brushes and some paints, and he always had to find some hobbies to kill time when he lived for a long time.
Char actually painted a long time ago, and even painted well, which means to develop into art.
It's a pity that after the appearance of AI, his dream of being a painter was directly stillborn, and then he went to learn his broken sociology.
The buildings here are good, and if there were wars like World War I and World War II, it would be a pity if the architecture was destroyed.
So it's a good choice to record it with a drawing
