Chapter 459, chain reaction (4)

Of course, if the Americans need to take the blame, of course they have to discuss it with the Americans. At this time, the envoy sent by the United States also came to Talleyrand and looked very anxious. This is naturally because the British fleet burned Savannah. After the Savannah fire, US President Jefferson sent the envoy Spear to France on a French transportation ship. As soon as Spear got ashore in Paris, he didn't even have time to go to the US Embassy to have a cup of coffee, so he hurriedly found Talleyrand.

Talleyrand already knew about the Savannah fire at this time, and he and the Envoy Spear were old friends. So when he saw Spear, he first exchanged greetings. After the greetings, he said that Spear had lost weight. After saying that Spear had lost weight, he scolded the British.

"Your Excellency the First Governor has heard of the terrible crimes committed by the British in your country that despise mankind, and he has asked me to express my condolences to you. He has asked me to tell you that he always believes that justice will prevail. Believe that the great American people will surely be able to defeat the evil Carthage by their own strength."

This is good and nice, but Spear heard a sentence that seemed to contain a bad meaning, that is, "Believe that the great American people will definitely be able to rely on their own strength to defeat the evil Carthage."

For a moment, Spear couldn't help but want to ask: "Foreign Minister Talleyran, explain to me what it means to 'can't rely on your own strength'? Does this mean that you don't plan to work against the British, but just plan to watch the show across the Atlantic?"

Of course, America is now asking for help, so Spear could not say such words, so he replied: "I believe that with the help of God, we will definitely defeat these evil barbarians. But when we fight with the most terrifying and evil barbarians in the world since Genghis Khan, we also hope that the civilized world can stand up and oppose those barbarians together."

"You are right, my friend." Talleyrand said, "In fact, the entire free world has stood up and united to oppose the British's wrong practices. You just mentioned that you took a boat all the way and then changed the train and just arrived in Paris. There are some things you may not be very clear about. On the same day when the British burned Savannah, our French fleet had some skirmishes with the British fleet in order to safeguard the right to free trade and free navigation near the Port of Carol in Ireland. Our fleet was brutal impacted by the British fleet. But we still insisted on our own rights and safeguarded the right to free trade between us and Ireland.

In addition, the Republic of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Spain have stood up and launched a counterattack against the evil Goliath giants. Especially Spain, you know, the British have shamelessly occupied the land belonging to Spain for many years. Our Spanish friends, because of their love for peace, have always wanted to regain their own territory through peace. But the British have always regarded our Spanish friends' love for peace as weak and bullied. So now the Kingdom of Spain intends to stand up and use more effective means to solve the Gibraltar problem."

Talleyran's answer immediately made Spear come to his spirit. Because judging from these actions, France seemed to be about to lead the "Free World" to launch a general attack on the British.

Although it is not necessarily a complete good thing for the French to become stronger, some of the things the French did in Louisiana also gave the United States a headache. But at least for now, they still have to be moral and shameless on the surface.

"In addition to strong military and economic strength, the ideal of the empire is also very important. If an empire loses its ideal and its sense of sublimity, it can almost be directly judged that the empire has begun to collapse."

This is said to be the conclusion drawn by Joseph and Napoleon when studying history. Therefore, although France is not reasonable in handling various international affairs, it still needs to be covered up on the surface, and even does a good job.

"I am personally very grateful to hear this news. I agree that the free world should unite and defeat the English barbarians." Spear agreed.

"It is a matter of mutual help among countries in the free world." Talleyran replied, "For example, the struggle between Ireland, Spain and England is also a support for the struggle of the United States; and the struggle of the United States is also a support for us, and for the just struggle of Ireland and Spain. Well, recently, our Spanish friends have something that needs your country's support..."

The so-called need for American support naturally refers to the Spanish or even French going to Gibraltar Bre, but the United States has to admit this.

Although Spear was a little dissatisfied with the French and Spanish's reluctance, he did not object to this request. This was not only because he now wanted France, but also because the United States first needed news of victory to boost morale. Even if this was not done by the United States, as long as the United States admitted it, it could promote it internally, and the American army successfully attacked Britain.

So the three sides hit it off. Then Spear met with the first ruler Napoleon under the arrangement of Talleyran. The two sides held cordial talks on some issues of common concern. Napoleon, on behalf of France, expressed his appreciation for the contributions made by the American people to safeguard freedom and democracy and national independence.

Spear also expressed gratitude to Napoleon for his support in power. At the same time, he also said that as a member of the free world, the United States has always insisted on maintaining free trade and respecting religious freedom. He said that the United States does not discriminate against Catholicism and does not allow discrimination against Catholics. In fact, except for the banner of religion, it is actually the Anglican Church of the English spy organization, and the United States treats all legal religions equally.

After receiving support from France and endorsement from the United States, the Spaniards began to prepare for mine-burning activities near the port of Gibraltar. In order to improve the efficiency of mine-burning, the French simply used the same trick and "lent" several of their mine-burning ships to Spain. Then the French's four mine-burning ships began to deploy mines near the Gibraltar Fortress under the cover of night.
