Of course, if the Americans need to take the blame, then of course, they must discuss it with the Americans. At this time, the special envoy sent by the United States happened to find Talleyrand, and he looked very anxious. This is naturally due to the fact that the British fleet burned Savannah. After the fire in Savannah, US President Jefferson sent a special envoy, Spear, on a French transport ship, to France. As soon as Speier disembarked in Paris, he didn't even have time to get to the American embassy for a cup of coffee, so he hurried to Talleyrand.

Talleyrand already knew about the Savannah fires by this time, and he and Spear's envoy were old friends. So as soon as he saw Spear, he first greeted him, and after greetings, he said that Spear had lost weight, and after saying that Spear had lost weight, he scolded the British.

"His Excellency the First Consul has heard of the terrible crimes against humanity committed by the British in your country, and he has asked me to express my condolences to you. He asked me to tell you that he always believed that justice would prevail. I believe that the great American people will be able to rely on their own strength to defeat the evil Carthage. ”

This is a good thing to hear, but Spear heard a sentence that seemed to contain a not very good meaning, that is, "I believe that the great American people will be able to defeat the evil Carthage by their own strength."

For a moment, Spear couldn't help but want to ask: "Foreign Minister Talleyrand, can you explain to me what 'must rely on your own strength'?" Does this mean that you are not going to play against the British, but only going to watch the drama across the Atlantic? ”

Of course, it was the United States that was in demand, so Spear could not say such a thing, so he replied: "I believe that with God's help we will be able to defeat these wicked barbarians." But as we fight against the most terrible and evil barbarians in the world since Genghis Khan, we also hope that the civilized world will stand up against those barbarians. ”

"You're right, my friend." "In fact, the whole free world has come forward and united against the wrong things of the British," Talleyrand said. You've just mentioned that you've just taken a boat all the way and then changed trains to just arrived in Paris, so there are some things that you may not be very clear about. On the same day that the British burned Savannah, there were skirmishes between our French fleet, in order to preserve the right to free trade and free navigation, and the British fleet near Carroll Harbour, Ireland. Our fleet was brutally rammed by the British fleet. But we still stood up for our rights and upheld our right to free trade with Ireland.

In addition, the Republic of the Netherlands, as well as the Kingdom of Spain, stood up and launched a counterattack against the evil Goliath giants. Especially Spain, you know, the British have shamelessly occupied the lands that belonged to Spain for many years. Our Spanish friends, because of their love for peace, have always wanted to reclaim their territory by peaceful means. But the British have always regarded our Spanish friends' love of peace as weakness and weakness. So now the Kingdom of Spain intends to stand up and adopt more effective means to solve the problem of Gibraltar. ”

Talleyrand's answer immediately brought Spear to his senses. Because judging by these actions, it seems that France is about to lead the "free world" in a general attack on the British.

Although it is not necessarily a completely good thing that the French are strong, some of the things that the French do in Louisiana are also a headache for the United States. But at least for now, they still have to be moral and face-to-face on the surface.

"In addition to its strong military and economic power, the ideals of the empire are also very important. If an empire loses its ideals and that sense of nobility, then it is almost immediately certain that the empire has begun to collapse. ”

This is said to have been the conclusion reached by Joseph and Napoleon when they were studying history. Therefore, although France is also very unreasonable in handling various international affairs, it still has to do a superficial cover-up, and even does a very good job.

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

"It is only natural for the nations of the free world to help each other." "The struggles of Ireland, Spain, and England, for example, are also in support of the struggles of the United States; And the struggle of the United States is also a support for us, as well as for the just struggle of Ireland and Spain. Well, recently, our Spanish friends have one thing that needs your country's support......"

The so-called need for the support of the Americans naturally means that the Spaniards and even the French went to Gibraltar to Bray, but this matter has to be recognized by the United States.

Although Spear was a little unhappy with the French and Spaniards' retreat, he did not object to the request. This was not only because he was now looking to France, but also because the United States needed news of victory to boost morale. Even if this was not done by the United States, as long as the United States admits it, it can publicize it internally, and the American military still succeeded in striking at Britain.

So the three parties hit it off. On behalf of France, Napoleon expressed his appreciation for the contributions made by the American people to the maintenance of freedom and democracy and the independence of the country.

And Spear also expressed his gratitude for the support of Napoleon's administration. At the same time, he also said that as a member of the free world, the United States has always insisted on upholding free trade and respecting religious freedom. He said that the United States does not discriminate against Catholics, and it does not allow discrimination against Catholics. In fact, except for the Anglican Church, which is actually an espionage organization in England under the banner of religion, the United States treats all legitimate religions equally.

With the support of France and the endorsement of the United States, the Spaniards began to prepare for mine-laying activities near the port of Gibraltar. In order to improve the efficiency of mine-laying, the French simply repeated the old trick and "leased" several of their mine-laying ships to Spain. Then the French quadruple minelayers began to deploy mines near the fortress of Gibraltar under the cover of night.

The French minelayers were the first in the world, specially designed to lay mines, and with these warships, one night, the French, ah, no, were Spaniards, ah, it still didn't seem right,...... By the way, the Americans were able to lay forty mines in one night on the main shipping lanes outside the port of Gibraltar.
