I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

Arthur's heart was surging, and he said excitedly, "Yes, Napoleon is such a person, and he has implemented this spirit throughout his life!"

Xia smiled and didn't comment too much on this. He just carried the kettle to the pool nearby, picked up some water, and then placed it on Calcifer's body.

"Napoleon's life was indeed unparalleled, and even in the long history of mankind, only a few have reached this level.

but"

Char sat on the chair and looked at Arthur.

"I hope you will do one thing in the future, that is, if you encounter something that touches you, you should seriously think about it from all aspects.

We can think like this now. "

After a pause, Xia Ya pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"Let's first review Napoleon's life.

His parents were poor nobles in Corsica and had lived in poverty since childhood.

When he was not much older than you, he stayed away from his parents and entered the non-commissioned officer school in France.

Most of his classmates are wealthy aristocratic children. They have been looked down upon for a long time and are always alone.

After leaving school, he entered the army and became a second lieutenant and then a lieutenant, but he was still poor.

So he stayed away from the luxurious crowd, studied hard, and turned into a young officer with a pale face and a very gloomy look.

However, when he was twenty-four years old, a great revolution occurred in France at that time and space.

This gloomy young officer suddenly became a major. In the battle of the Revolutionary Army to regain the Toulon Fortress, he made a contribution with his outstanding command.

You also know what happened next. With a lack of weapons and insufficient training, Napoleon led his army to suddenly cross the Alps and enter the Italian plains like a tsunami.

He defeated the Austrian army with lightning speed, and then captured Italian cities one after another. No matter where he went, he won one victory after another.

When Napoleon returned to Paris with glory and wealth, he was warmly welcomed by the people of Paris and became a well-deserved triumphant general.

At that time, France had just experienced the Great Revolution, the political struggle was fierce, and the domestic situation was also turbulent.

The French people pray from the bottom of their hearts for peace and order.

Napoleon took this opportunity to reorganize the government by force and centralize power in his own hands. He was initially one of the three consuls and later ruled for life, eventually ending the republic and ascending to the throne.

At that time, Napoleon was only thirty-five years old.

In just ten years, he ascended to the throne from an unknown, gloomy young man and poor military officer.

After becoming emperor, Napoleon remained unstoppable. European countries formed an alliance with Britain as the center and tried to overthrow him several times, but all ended in failure.

In war after war, Napoleon, who was born as a soldier, showed his talent to the fullest. Whether in Austerlitz, Jena or Wagram, Napoleon continued to perform outstanding victories that would go down in history.

The Netherlands bowed to his feet early on, the Italian peninsula was at his disposal, Germany succumbed to his power, and Spain also entered his sphere of influence. Except for Russia, the European continent was almost unified by him in this way.

When Napoleon convened a European conference in Erfurt, four German kings and thirty-four princes gathered to pay their respects to him.

Surrounded by them, Napoleon watched the performance of the famous actor Talma specially brought from France. At this time, Napoleon was already a veritable "Augudus".

At this moment, his will alone is enough to determine the fate of tens of millions of people on that continent. He stands at a peak that many people will not be able to reach in their lifetime.

But just a few years after that, he fell from this peak into the abyss. "

Arthur nodded, "Because the expedition failed."

"At that time, basically all European countries surrendered to Napoleon, but one country was difficult for Napoleon to conquer because of its strategic location, and it never surrendered to Napoleon."

"British Island." Isabel whispered. It is not difficult to guess that due to the geographical location of the English Channel, no army can cross it.

Char nodded, "In order to put Britain into trouble, Napoleon banned European countries from trading with Britain, but Russia did not obey his order.

This made him furious, and he planned a large-scale expedition to Russia.

As you know, it ended in a disastrous defeat, but Napoleon's armies were victorious and even captured their capital for a time.

But even the emperor was still unable to resist the harsh winter there, and eventually had to retreat.

The soldiers who retreated in the ice and snow were starved, and hundreds of thousands of them froze to death. Those who did not freeze to death were also killed in the pursuit of the Cossack cavalry.

When they first invaded Russia, there were more than 600,000 troops, but when they left, there were only less than 10,000 soldiers left. It was extremely miserable.

News of Napoleon's defeat soon spread to Europe. Prussia, which had been seeking to get rid of Napoleon's oppression, took the lead in resisting. Other countries then formed an alliance again and attacked France.

Severely wounded, he could no longer defeat the coalition forces. After the defeat, he was exiled to the Island of Elba. He once escaped and gathered his troops again, and then came the Battle of Waterloo.

But unfortunately, his past invincibility still failed to extend to this battle.

He failed.

He was eventually imprisoned on a small island called St. Helena on the west side of Africa.

Napoleon spent five and a half years without freedom on this island with a harsh climate, and finally died there alone.

The fate of this once glorious emperor is lamentable.

In that era of time and space, rounds of turmoil followed one after another, boiling like boiling water, and various class issues emerged one after another.

Events that might have taken fifty or even a hundred years to unfold in other periods appeared one after another during the twenty years of his rise and decline, and all of these events were related to his name.

He must establish a new order for France after the great turmoil and constantly repel foreign aggression.

After dealing with these matters, he had no time to rest at all. He still had to stand at the political center of European countries and deal with various complicated and complicated diplomatic relations.

He handled all this very well, and not only personally adjudicated domestic issues, but also commanded three or four large-scale wars. Each command was enough to be called a tactical model.

Outside of war, he is also full of decisiveness, without any hesitation, and seems to be tireless. No matter what kind of difficulties he is in, he shows his unyielding fighting spirit and the self-confidence of a king.

He is indeed a hero, rising in adversity, brilliant, fast, full of vitality, as magnificent as the sun. The process of his decline is also a tragedy, and he is indeed worthy of people's worship.

But while we lament his life, we also need to think about it.

Is he perfect?

In other words, what did he accomplish using his extraordinary power?
