039 Accept this 'Social Contract Theory', we are half-brothers
An Ning had an idea, so she said in Italian: "It turns out that I am a Corsican. Would it be more convenient for me to communicate with you in Italian?"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Ning felt Fanny's suspicious gaze.
But even if Fanny is suspicious, it doesn't matter. The system has updated Fanny's favorability before, and now this guy trusts her very much and is one of her own.
Moreover, French and Italian both belong to the Latin language family. If you master one of them, it will be easier to learn the second one.
At most, I would be a little tired, and it would be better to add the title of language genius to my head. This burden cannot be shouldered.
If that doesn't work, you can ask Talleyrand to help announce that this is a gift from our Lord Jehovah.
These days, the Catholic Church still speaks with authority, and a little maid probably cannot question the authority of the Holy See.
Of course, the situation was different after the Revolution. At that time, the priests split into the declarants and the denouncers, and they fought internally for many years. Objectively, the influence of the Holy See in France was greatly reduced, so much so that when the emperor was crowned, he did
In an astonishing move, he took the crown from the Pope's hand and put it on himself.
France is a country known as a filial son of God, and has done many things to deceive the Holy See in history.
France and Hungary are two extremes. One has a filial son with double quotation marks, and the other is a Catholic true filial son.
Anyway, An Ning didn't care about it anymore. He directly opened his plug-in and said to Napoleon in Italian: "Hello, my friend. I don't speak Italian very well. Please tell me if I made a mistake."
The young Bonaparte's eyes widened and he continued to say in broken French: "No, you Italian...do you have a bit of a Genoese accent?"
An Ning was secretly surprised. Genoa was once the suzerain of Corsica, so it might arouse Napoleon's resentment.
But he didn't know how to make himself speak Italian with a Corsican accent. In fact, he didn't even know the difference between a Genoese accent and a Corsican accent.
At this time, Napoleon also switched back to Italian: "You are the first person who is willing to speak Italian to me since I came to France."
An Ning: "Really? I just don't want to waste an opportunity to practice speaking with native Italian speakers."
"Ah, your accent now looks like a Corsican accent again." Napoleon said in surprise, "It feels like I've led you astray."
An Ning was speechless. He had figured out the mechanism of finding a language plug-in. How could he switch to the corresponding authentic accent when he was talking to people from some place?
This is so awesome, I want to find a title for language genius.
Napoleon: "Have you been to Corsica?"
"No, I said I just learned Italian. As for you listening to me now, it feels like a Corsican accent. This may be a psychological effect. You should miss your hometown very much..."
Napoleon nodded: "Yes, after I came to France, they laughed at me all day long, saying that I was a dwarf from Corsica, and that I was a defeated general of the French. Whenever they said that, I missed me doubly.
Think of my hometown. Wait and see, sooner or later I will turn Corsica into an independent country and the pearl of the Mediterranean!"
At this time, Napoleon was still a passionate Corsican youth. His enthusiasm would only be gradually extinguished when he encountered obstacles in his homeland of Corsica.
Before that, An Ning planned to follow him.
Although this is the later emperor, he is only ten years old now, so coaxing a child is still easy and enjoyable for An Ning.
"I was in Paris," An Ning said. "People say that Pauli's attempt to establish a republic in Corsica was the first in the world. Later, the Yankees in the New World established a republic that was also influenced by Pauli, because Corsica
Human struggle shows that the Republic is the mainstream of the future!"
Napoleon looked at An Ning doubtfully: "Really? Do the adults in Paris really say that?"
No, not really. The adults in Paris would just ask where the hell is Corsica?
But An Ning affirmed boldly: "Yes! If people in Paris now advocate freedom, they will travel across the ocean to the New World to watch them build their own country.
"If the Republic of Corsica existed, they would not have to cross the ocean. They would only need to take a day's boat trip to Marseille to see a republic based on the principle of separation of powers!
"In Corsica, they might see the dreams of Rousseau, Montesquieu and Voltaire come true without having to travel across the ocean."
An Ning blew it for a while, making the Corsican boy very happy.
But An Ning changed the subject: "It is a pity that Corsica's attempt was suppressed by the reactionary and degenerate Bourbon dynasty! This is not only the misfortune of Corsica, but also the misfortune of all of us who pursue freedom and equality."
By saying this, An Ning actually confirmed his identity as a "comrade". Regardless of whether he is French or Corsican, he is a comrade who has the same pursuit.
This also laid an opportunity for the future break between Napoleon and the Corsican independence hero Paoli: Paoli was actually an old aristocrat, and he resisted Genoa just to maintain the old aristocratic tradition in Corsica, not for freedom.
As long as Napoleon is guaranteed to be deeply influenced by Enlightenment ideas, he will definitely break with Pauli in the future.
That way you don't have to worry about Napoleon staying on Corsica and becoming the island's lord.
Napoleon was deceived by An Ning, and he no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning: "I... have never thought about the problem from this direction. I see, we are comrades."
An Ning: "Yes, all followers of Rousseau, Voltaire and Montesquieu are comrades. We are the most progressive force in the world. One day the world will change because of us. You should not just focus on Corsi
Jia, but to change the whole world."
The young Napoleon whispered softly: "Change the world..."
An Ning snapped his fingers and said to Fanny, who had been watching their conversation behind her: "Fanny, go buy a copy of Rousseau's Social Contract. I want to give it to this Corsi as a gift for the first time we met.
Chia’s young comrade.”
Fanny: "The one you just called is probably my name, but I have to tell you that I don't understand Italian at all. If you want me to do something, please say it again in French."
An Ning was stunned for a moment - he had just deceived Napoleon so high that he didn't bother to change the language.
He repeated what he just said in French.
Napoleon suddenly woke up from his ecstasy: "No, I have no reason to accept your gift. I just met you today."
An Ning: "But I think you will definitely become a believer of Mr. Rousseau. I have this feeling. After all, you are from Corsica, which once practiced a republic for a short time."
An Ning almost admired himself. Now he realized that he seemed to be quite good at fooling people. Maybe being a programmer in his previous life was a sign of inferiority.
Napoleon was still a little hesitant, and An Ning continued to press forward: "In Paris, this is how I gave a copy of Mr. Rousseau's "Social Contract" to everyone who might become a comrade, so that the next time we meet, we can communicate with each other.
I learned a lot about reading, believe me, it is a very pleasant thing."
Just as she was talking, Fanny bought a book and came out.
So An Ning grabbed the book and threw it into Napoleon's arms: "Looking forward to the next chat with you. Then, I also need to get familiar with the way to school and pick up my military uniform, so I'll take my leave now."
Napoleon: "Uh...oh, okay."
He paused and then said, "Thank you."
An Ning: "You don't need to thank me for the book. I gave it to you to satisfy my selfish desire to increase my comradeship. I also want to thank you for your willingness to accept the book from me, a stranger."
"No," Napoleon hesitated, "I want to thank you for helping me out of the siege just now."
"Didn't you already thank me? It's just a simple gesture, not something worthy of repeated gratitude. So, goodbye." An Ning gently raised his hat.
After doing this, An Ning walked towards the military academy without looking back, leaving a handsome figure on the young Napoleon's back.
At this moment, the system popped up a prompt: [You have left a deep impression on Napoleon Bonaparte, and your trust level has directly reached friendliness. ]
An Ning licked her lips.
Humph, no matter how great he is in the future, he is just a child now, watch me eat him to death!
When the First French Empire was established, I would work with Zalal Cano on logistics and research on new artillery and guns, but I would not go to the front line.
