The atrocity Louis referred to was the burning of Detroit by the British Army. Although the France invented the tactic of burning cities with incendiary bombs, the France burned down the city of pagan pirates and barbarians to liberate millions of oppressed and enslaved Christ. It was a righteous act supported by the Pope and all of Europe and even the world. The France burning of the city was God sending down heavenly fire through the France, just as He had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, perfectly demonstrating God's justice.

But what the British did in Detroit was utter atrocity! They attacked a city built by noble white people who also believed in Jesus Christ; they burned devout Christians who were calling out the name of Jesus Christ even in their dying moments. Such atrocities show that the British no longer deserve to be considered civilized people; they should be regarded as terrible and evil barbarians like Attra and Genghis Khan!

However, Atlantic Ocean wired telegraphy was still nonexistent. While the Military-Industrial Complex possessed wireless telegraphy technology, wired telegraphy was considered far more profitable (as it required laying cables and frequent amplification and relay, thus generating more business). Therefore, this technology was shelved and kept strictly secret. Only some naval warships carried it, and even then, it was kept highly secret; apart from the captain and communications officer, no one else knew of its existence. Thus, news couldn't reach the Europe continent in the short term, and the Europe edition of * Science Truth Daily * hadn't yet published a similar editorial. But in Louisiana, * Science Truth Daily * had already begun to vehemently criticize the Britain.

Of course, with the development of Louisiana, arrangements for transoceanic radio communications gradually began to be made. Talleyrand was discussing with the Portugal the purchase of Flores Island of the Azores. They planned to build a radio relay station there, and another on Saint Pierre Island, which already belonged to France, so that the old and new continents could be connected by radio.

However, this plan is still just a plan at the moment; it will take some time before it is implemented, and even longer before it can be put into use.

As the Louisiana * Science Truth Daily * launched its attack, the France people in Saint Louis Louisiana who usually spoke German immediately organized themselves. The Louis National Guard began moving north along the Mississippi River to guard against the potential threat posed to Saint Louis Louisiana by the "savages of the new era."

During this process, the Louisiana -based * Science Truth Daily * newspaper also found a young girl named Hannah, who claimed to be a survivor of the Detroit fires. Even more alarming, this girl was France, though her French wasn't very fluent. According to her, before the war broke out, her whole family was in Detroit trading furs. Due to a minor financial dispute, they didn't immediately leave Detroit after the war began. This was understandable; who would have imagined the Britain would commit such a heinous act?

Even when the Britain army was at the city gates, Hannah's family remained calm, because this wasn't their war. Besides, they were France, holding France passports. The France passports stated. "Wherever you are in the world, the mighty France army is your strong backing." What could the Britain possibly do to a France family holding France passports?

Unexpectedly, the Britain dared to defy the world and directly set the city ablaze with incendiary bombs. Hannah's family was also engulfed in flames. Hannah's father carried Hannah through the fire, but her mother, brother, and several other uncles all perished in the inferno. Even Hannah's father was severely burned and died shortly after escaping Detroit from a severe infection caused by the burns.

The France consulate in Ottawa then protested to the Britain, demanding that the Britain immediately hand over the murderers of the France citizen to the France for trial and compensate the France for their losses.

In response, the Britain Governor General of Canada expressed his condolences for the tragic loss of a France citizen and offered some compensation to the victim's family out of humanitarian considerations. However, he stated that the tragedy was not the responsibility of the Britain, but rather an unavoidable case of collateral damage in war. Furthermore, if British Army had violated military discipline, the matter should be investigated and tried by Britain courts. Therefore, the demand to "hand over the perpetrators to France for trial" was completely unreasonable and would absolutely not be agreed to by the United Kingdom.

Upon receiving this response, the Louisiana Governor's Office immediately announced the lifting of the previous embargo on commercial loans and arms embargoes imposed on the United States due to trade disputes.

Upon receiving this news, the United States, who were suffering repeated defeats, immediately rushed to the France, clinging tightly to their coattails. President Thomas Jefferson sent a special envoy to negotiate with Mr. Marcel, the France governor of Louisiana, hoping to obtain assistance from their France allies. They not only hoped to receive weapons and technical guidance from the France, but also hoped that the France would, like King Louis XVI of the past, directly send troops to help the United States fight against the "evil Britain."

However, Governor Marcel had no intention of selling out to the Americans. He stated 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 France cities. Therefore, although he was very sympathetic to the situation of his United States friends, he could only allow United States to purchase all "civilian weapons" in Louisiana without restriction and to engage in most businesses that did not threaten France security and interests.

The United States then proposed leasing two new cruisers belonging to the France Louisiana Squadron. Governor Marcel did not immediately refuse. However, he stated that this matter was theoretically beyond his authority and could not be done solely with his support.

Jefferson's envoy immediately understood the governor's meaning: the governor wanted him to win over a truly influential figure to endorse the matter. Everyone knew who this influential figure was. In Louisiana, there were two governors, one in the open and one in the shadows. One was Governor Marcel, who lived in the Governor's Palace, and the other was White Castle Bonaparte, the chairman of the Louisiana Development Bank, the First Consul of the French Republic, Emperor of the Roman Empire, the invincible Anglo -Bonaparte Saxon, protector of Corsica and North Africa, and brother of Napoleon Bonaparte Louis.
