Propaganda about the war between the United States and Britain was to be carried out not only in the Americas, but also in Europe. In particular, the recent completion of the telecommunications tower on the island of Flores, which the French bought from the Portuguese, and with the help of this tower, along with several other towers, Louisiana and Europe can finally be connected directly by radio.

That's a big deal. Prior to this, Europe and the Americas were separated by oceans, and the speed at which news could spread was entirely limited to the speed at which ships sailed. Something happened in the Americas, and it took months for the news to get back to Europe, and it took months for the European side to react and send the decision back—for such a long time, it was long ago unknown what it would become, and the decision made locally was afraid that it would be inappropriate for a long time.

In fact, it is not only the mother countries of Europe and their colonies that have such problems. In fact, any empire with a vast territory has faced such a problem. Because there is a limit to the speed at which information can be disseminated, these countries have all encountered this problem in controlling the periphery. If you insist on centralization, the whole empire will become a brontosaurus. Considering the speed of nerve conduction, if someone cuts it in the tail, it will take a long time to know. And the Great Empire will react more slowly than that. Of course, it is still much stronger than a few decades later when I learned that the Red Rabbit Country was a fat puff that believed in Marxism-Leninism.

So, like the empires of antiquity, the colonies of the Americas, as well as the colonies elsewhere, were entrusted to the governors to rule with full authority. In addition to the fact that the governor cannot be hereditary, he is almost a feudal lord in power. But in this way, the mother country of Europe has to worry about whether the governor or something will cause secession and independence, and simply create a country of its own and become its own king. In order to firmly control these colonies, the mother country of Europe must ensure that its power is overwhelmingly superior to the colonies, and even if it sends only a partial division, it must have the ability to push the entire colony to a new conquest. And to have such a capability, it is necessary to suppress the development of the colony, especially the development of the colony's industry.

For example, Spain's perverse behavior in the American colonies is not without reason, and an important purpose is to curb the development of these colonies, and only in this way can the domination of the colonies by the mother country be guaranteed.

But since the independence of North America, the situation has changed. In the original history, after the United States became independent, it was surrounded by colonies that were considered weakened, so the United States was able to expand rapidly, except for Canada, the strongest Britain in the world, which was supported by the mother country and survived, no country's colonies could withstand the United States. Even in this time and space, before the French returned to the Americas, the Spaniards were bullied by the Americans in the Americas.

As a result, these European countries are in a dilemma, if they continue to suppress the development of the colonies, so that the colonies cannot make even a single bullet, then it is naturally easy to control, but they will definitely be constantly bullied by the United States, today to cut five cities, tomorrow to cut ten cities, and then have to sleep overnight, look at the four realms, and the US military is coming.

If he develops a colony, he will have even slightly weaker industrial capacity than the United States, which will certainly make him stronger in the face of the United States. But it leads to the problem that the colonies are likely to become independent, as the Americans did.

Considering that the Americans called, it was really impossible to sell the colonies for money; If the colonies had become independent, there would have been nothing. So in the original history, everyone's choice was almost always to continue to suppress the development of the colony. And when Napoleon took Louisiana back and began the development of Louisiana, many Europeans were waiting to see the French jokes. They felt that it would not be long before most of the developed Louisiana colonies would have an independent wave, and then maybe there would be another North American Revolutionary War.

Of course, there are doubts that Napoleon would have wanted to send his son or one of his brothers there to be king. For example, Franz next door has always thought so, and has hinted more than once that if Napoleon made the Louisiana Overseas Province the Kingdom of Louisiana, they could provide the Kingdom of Louisiana with a princess who could be the queen.

However, the advent of radio communication technology made it possible to carry out efficient centralized rule in all parts of the vast empire. After this line of communication was opened, the Louisiana Overseas Province really became a larger, farther province.

However, at this time, one of the most direct effects after the opening of this line was manifested in the news.

With the opening of this line, news from the Americas could appear in European newspapers almost a few hours later. News from Europe will also appear in the newspapers of the Americas within hours.

This advantage in the dissemination of information is made even more obvious by the advantages of the media system, in which France is already in a clear position. In Europe, for example, coverage of the Americas is largely monopolized by the French. The media in other countries can only reprint the news. In the Americas, reporting on the situation in Europe has also become the preserve of the French media, after all, except for the French, everyone else has only old news.

Today, the focus of French newspaper coverage is, of course, the war. Today, however, the war in Europe is not raging. The Eight-Nation Coalition still did not land in Britain, and on the Spanish side, it only continued to blockade the fortress of Gibraltar. However, the British had made certain preparations and stockpiled a lot of supplies, so for the time being, there was no material difficulty and no food. As for the storm, look at the Gibraltar Fortress, everyone expressed no interest.

So the war in Europe today is almost a sit-down war. Such a war is really inspiring. Speaking of which, because the war in Europe has been at least until now, although the level is very high, but the intensity is not too large, at least it has not made people on the European continent feel much pain, on the contrary, because of the impact of the war, the economy has improved a little. Therefore, the guys in Europe are not only not afraid of war, but have a lot of feelings of watching a play. The sit-down wars in Europe today are just too unenjoyable. As soon as the report of the war in North America came, it immediately aroused everyone's interest.

French newspapers had already reported on the burning and killing of British troops off the coast of North America, but that was a few months ago. And because the channel is not smooth, the report is relatively brief. After the opening of the new communication channel, both Scientific Pravda and Kommersant gave detailed descriptions of the war in North America.

"Scientific Pravda" first devoted an entire page to a systematic review of the situation before France entered the war, including the occupation of Washington by British troops, and the subsequent burning of coastal cities by British troops along the way. In short, at that time, the United States gave the impression that it was vulnerable and beaten by the British.

Then there is the description of France after it entered the war. As soon as France entered the war, the tide of the war immediately changed, the British began to retreat, and the French army won consecutive battles. Although "Scientific Pravda" also pointed out that the French army participating in the war in North America was mainly militia, and its combat effectiveness was far from being comparable to that of the French regular army. The British kept retreating at this time, more because of logistical difficulties. But the report of continuous victories still made the French people proud.

"Hehe, our French militia can defeat the British one after another. I, France, am really invincible in the world! A young man reading a newspaper said proudly.

"Most of the militia in the Louisiana Overseas Province are German-speaking overseas citizens, and even they were able to win such victories, which is true." Another young man couldn't help but say, "If we go, won't we beat the British to the ground?" ”

"Why haven't we landed in the UK yet?" Someone else said.

"However, it was also mentioned in the newspapers that our successive victories were mainly due to the fact that our navy had cut off their supplies, coupled with our clear superiority in strength, and for some reason the British preferred to surrender to us because we were civilized."

"Where? And such a thing? ”

"You flip back, and it says that some American soldiers refused to accept the surrender of the British, and even lynched prisoners. If you look at this report, it is mentioned that the reporter saw the Americans kill the captured British soldiers with bayonets. Also, there's a ...... in this place," the man simply read.

“‘…… Near Aurora, about a company of British troops surrendered to the cavalry battalion of the commander of the Bock battalion. Commander Bock, anxious to pursue the enemy, handed over the captives to Captain Andrew of the Georgia 3rd Army, a nearby American friend, and asked them to be escorted to our prisoner of war camp at Fuller. Captain Andrew promised to send the prisoners to the prisoner of war camp.

However, after completing the combat mission, the battalion commander Bock found that there was no record of these prisoners being received by the prisoner of war camp at all - they were all gone. In order to prove that Battalion Commander Bock did not lie about his exploits, our troops made contact with the 3rd Regiment of Georgia and found Captain Andrew, who was receiving prisoners at that time. Captain Andrew confirmed that he and his infantry battalion had received ninety-two prisoners from us in the area around Aurora. As for the whereabouts of the captives, according to Captain Andrew, on the way to Fuller, the captives rebelled and tried to steal the guns of the American troops, and then the Americans killed them all in self-defense. ’

Well, look, do you really believe that a group of unarmed captives who have surrendered their guns will take the initiative to attack a heavily armed army that outnumbered them? The Brits aren't good, but the Brits aren't stupid. There is no doubt that these people were slaughtered by those Yankees. ”

"Those Yankees are Georgian? I remember that their hometown was tossed by the British, well, the British made a 'three-light' on their side, and it is conceivable that they would do such a thing. One person said.

"Isn't it?" Another said, "But they do it for a certain reason, but it's not a civilized man's way." And if these Englishmen were captured by them, then I won't say anything - the British are barbarians anyway, between barbarians and barbarians, whatever they want, and barbarians have no honor to speak of anyway. But in this matter, the British surrendered to us! We have guaranteed them all the rights guaranteed in the Joint Declaration between the Holy See and the French Republic after their surrender. Aren't they trampling on our honor by doing so? ”

"Where do barbarians know this!" Another said.

"Abominable, yet ......"

"Yet they are our allies. It is true that the Turks are more civilized and civilized than them. ”

In North America, the French newspapers, on the other hand, would introduce the achievements of European civilization, such as the Joint Declaration of the Holy See and the French Republic, to promote the spirit of tolerance and generosity, and to the point that a country or a people is not civilized.

Of course, this is indispensable for explicit or roundabout accusations of the Americans' various war atrocities. And these reports have different repercussions in different parts of the United States.

In the south, the southerners don't care about these preaching at all, whether you are civilized or not, in short, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is the law of Moses!

But in the North, the Yankees are relatively more interested in what Europeans think of them. Therefore, the northerners always blame the southerners for doing things too much, affecting the international image of the United States, and dragging them down. Of course, the northern Yankees also know that this can't be said directly, if it is said directly, the slave owners in the south are not allowed to fry the pot? Therefore, they changed their way, that is, to sing the spirit of tolerance and the "Joint Declaration between the Holy See and the French Republic" with the Virgin White Lotus of France, and strongly demanded that the United States should also respect the universal spirit and take the initiative to join this statement, so as to truly become a civilized country.

Relying on the advanced and powerful nature of France, the universal spirit proclaimed by the French is always particularly good and spiritual. It is particularly attractive to the American folk, especially the northern folk. So in the United States, especially in the northern states, there are many French, although they may not speak French, but they are very much in the spirit of France.

As for these people, as soon as the war stopped, they immediately noticed that there were indeed too many "uncivilized" places in the United States. For example, slavery in the United States.
