Chapter 443, Intervention
The atrocities mentioned by Louis refer to the British arms burning Detroit. Although the French invented the trick of burning the city with a burning bomb, the French used the burning bomb to burn the pirates and barbarian cities, to liberate thousands of oppressed and enslaved Christians, and to be supported by the Pope, the entire Europe, and even the whole world. The French burned the city, which was the heavenly fire brought down by God through the hands of the French, just like He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with his own hands, completely embodied the justice of God.
But what the British did in Detroit was a complete atrocity! They attacked those who also believed in Jesus Christ, and were cities built by noble whites; they burned to death a devout Christian who was still calling the name of Jesus Christ at the time of death. Such atrocities mean that the British were no longer worthy of being regarded as civilized people, and they should be regarded as terrible and evil barbarians like Atlas and Temujin!
However, because the wired telegraph across the Atlantic Ocean does not even have a shadow. Although the military-industrial complex already has the technology of wireless telegraph, considering that wired telegraphs are more profitable (because wired telegraphs need to set up lines and need to be amplified and forwarded every other section, so it can bring more business). Therefore, this thing is left to the shelves and strictly confidential. Only some warships of the navy have this thing on it, and it is still under high confidentiality. Except for the captain and the communications officer themselves, no one else even knows the existence of this thing. Therefore, these news cannot be transmitted back to the European continent in a short period of time, so the European version of "Pravda" has not yet been timed to issue a similar editorial. But in Louisiana, "Pravda" has begun to take the lead in scolding the British.
Of course, with the development of Louisiana, things about trans-ocean radio communications have gradually begun to be arranged. Talleyrand was discussing with the Portuguese about purchasing Flores Island, the easternmost end of the Azores Island from them. They planned to build a wireless transit station here and then build a wireless transit station on the island of Saint-Pierre, which originally belonged to France, so that the old and new continents can be connected by radio.
However, this plan is still a plan now. There is still a little time before it is implemented and it will be even more time before it can be put into use.
As Louisiana's "Pravda" started to curse, the French in St. Louisiana who often spoke German immediately organized. The St. Louisiana National Self-Defense Forces began to mobilize along the Mississippi River to the north to guard against the threats that "the barbarians of the new era" might pose to St. Louisiana.
During this process, Louisiana's "Scientific Truth" also found a girl named Hannah, who is said to be a survivor of the Detroit fire. What's more, the girl is still a Frenchman, although she doesn't speak French in a standard way. According to her, before the war broke out, their whole family happened to go to Detroit to trade fur. Because of a little money dispute, after the war began, their family did not leave Detroit immediately. This is also normal. Who would have thought that the British would make such a crazy move?
Later, even though the British were at the city, Hannah and her family were not panicked because it was not their war. And they were French, and they were holding French passports. The French passport read: "No matter where you are in the world, the powerful French army is your strong backing." Could it be that those British dared to fight against French people holding French passports?
However, unexpectedly, the British dared to violate the world's evil deeds and burned the city directly with incendiary bombs. Hannah's family was also trapped in the sea of fire. Hannah's father hugged Hannah and escaped from the sea of fire. Her mother, brother, and several other uncles all died in the sea of fire. Even Hannah's father was seriously burned and died of a serious infection after the burn.
Then the French consulate in Ottawa protested to the British, demanding that the British immediately hand over the murderer who killed French citizens to the French for trial and compensate the French for their losses.
In response, the British Governor-General to Canada said that they condolences for the unfortunate death of a French citizen and are willing to give some compensation to the victims' families out of humanitarian spirit. However, the occurrence of this tragedy is not the responsibility of the British, but it is an inevitable accidental injury in the war. In addition, if the British army violates military discipline, it should be investigated and tried by the British court, so "handing over the murderer for France to be tried" is a completely unreasonable demand, and the United Kingdom will never agree.
After receiving this reply, the Governor's Office of Louisiana immediately announced that it would lift the ban on commercial loans and arms embargoes announced some time ago due to trade disputes.
After the Americans who were in the process of retreating received the news, they immediately rushed up and hugged the French thighs tightly. President Thomas Jefferson sent a special envoy to discuss with Mr. Marcel, the governor of France to Louisiana, hoping to get help from French friends. They not only hoped that they could get weapons and technical guidance from the French, but also hoped that the French could directly send troops to help the Americans fight against the "evil British" like King Louis XVI of that year.
But Governor Marcel did not want to sell his head to help the United States. He said that his authority was limited. As a governor, he did not have the power to declare war on another country unless they directly crossed the border and attacked cities belonging to France. So although he was very sympathetic to the situation of his American friends, he could only make plans to allow Americans to purchase all "civil weapons" in Louisiana without restrictions, and engage in most businesses that do not threaten France's security and interests.
The Americans also proposed that they hoped to rent two new cruisers belonging to the French squadron in Louisiana. Governor Marcel did not immediately refuse this. However, he said that this matter theoretically exceeded his power, and it would not work if he only supported it.
