I Am the Crown Prince in France

Chapter 660 Caribbean Confederation

Marquis Rojas' eyes widened and he exclaimed:

"How...how can this be possible?"

Brissot said: "There are not many black slaves on Juan Island, so those guys in the abolitionist movement don't pay much attention to this place.

"If you can promise them not to interfere in their affairs, improve the treatment of black slaves on Juan Island, and even cooperate with them privately, it is possible to exchange them for their promise not to interfere in Juan Island."

"This..."

"There is nothing to lose by contacting them. Our country is about to leave the Caribbean, and I really don't want to see you facing the same situation. "

At the same time that Brissot met with the Governor of Juan Island, representatives of the abolition movement in Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Lesser Antilles gathered in Saint-Domingo to attend the first plenary meeting of the Caribbean Abolition League.

Auge stood on the high platform of the Parliament Hall in Port-au-Prince and said passionately to representatives from all over the world:

"The road to freedom and liberation has never been smooth. On the contrary, we are facing the death threat from the most powerful and evil country in the world-Britain!

"Although we have rock-like firm beliefs and the courage to not fear death, there is no doubt that we are still not strong enough.

"In the face of the devil's army, we can only defeat them and consolidate the results we have achieved if we unite more closely!

"And if we fight alone, we will most likely be defeated by the British one by one in the end.

"Our relatives and friends will be shackled again, return to the damn plantation, and die under the slavery of the whip!

" "Do you want to see this happen?!"

A tsunami-like roar suddenly erupted in the parliament hall:

"No, we must not let the devil succeed!"

"No one can take away our freedom!"

"We must unite and teach the British a lesson!"

Oger and the others gradually quieted down and continued:

"According to reliable information, 5,000 British soldiers will arrive in the Caribbean by ship in three months. Together with Brand's remnants, we will face 6,500 British troops!

"In order to better mobilize our forces - only by gathering all our soldiers can we fight the British - I suggest the establishment of a 'Caribbean Military Committee' to unify the mobilization of troops from all over the country.

"I call on all fighters who fight for freedom and equality to join this committee.

"We will use the most sincere unity and fearless spirit to defeat all enemies who want to continue to enslave us!"

The Bahamian President's envoy was the first to raise his hand and said loudly:

"The Republic of the Bahamas will join the Military Committee! Guard our freedom with our brothers in Saint Domingo! "

If Saint Domingo had not sent Louverture with 800 soldiers to reinforce the Bahamas, Nassau would have probably been lost.

Louverture has now been awarded the title of Honorary President of the Bahamas for Life and has a huge influence in the Bahamas.

And Auger is his superior.

So, the Bahamas joined the military committee called by Auger almost without hesitation.

Then, the representatives of Jamaica also expressed their willingness to join.

The leader of the military commander of the Jamaican abolition movement, Oriol, was also sent by Saint Domingo. And the current rebels in Jamaica are relatively weak and are looking forward to obtaining military assistance from the outside world.

Immediately afterwards, Saint Vincent and Barbados also agreed to join the military committee.

Their rebels have all received the support of Saint Domingo's abolitionists. The British abolitionists had received weapons and funding from the slave organizations, and they had cooperated with the British army to mobilize the British army before, so they were also happy to establish a military united front.

In this way, all blacks and mixed-race people in the entire Caribbean region, except for Juan Island, formed a close military organization.

Behind them are more than 2.1 million blacks. Even in the three relatively close places of Saint-Domingo, Jamaica and the Bahamas, there are more than 1.6 million blacks.

In addition, there are more than 300,000 mixed-race people, most of whom are on the side of the abolitionist organization.

The total population has reached 2.4 million.

You know, when the American War of Independence broke out, the population was less than 3 million.

Oger excitedly raised his arms and shouted:

"Long live freedom! Long live the Caribbean Alliance!"

Dozens of representatives present immediately shouted:

"Long live freedom!"

"We will win! "

Auge was excited as he watched the fiery scene in front of him.

With this "Caribbean Military Committee" as a foundation, the finances of the islands can be gradually integrated through military expenditures and later supplies, thereby maximizing the impact on politics.

He has only one goal, which is to establish the "Caribbean Confederation".

A truly powerful country!

And Mr. Brissot has shown him a handwritten letter from the French crown prince. As long as the confederation can be established, it will receive full support from France.

...

Osman.

Constantiniye.

Grand Vizier Damat Melka Mohammed smiled at the French Foreign Minister who was limping out of the carriage, bowed slightly, and said in fluent French:

"I thought you had returned to Paris and submitted our trade agreement to His Majesty the Kingdom."

Talleyrand returned the greeting by touching his chest, and smiled:

"Maybe I fell in love with Constantinie. You see, I've only been away for a few days, and I can't wait to come back to find her warmth. "

He followed Melka Mohammed to the post house next to the palace in a familiar manner, and whispered in a low voice:

"To be honest, the trade agreement last time was not enough for me to take back."

"I swear, that's the most generous terms I can offer."

"Well, the number of merchant ships will be increased, and the tariffs on textiles and grape juice will be reduced by 2.5%. It's really generous." Talleyrand teased, "This reminds me of the butcher shop downstairs in my house. The boss will sell all the goods that no one wants. I always like to say this when using leftovers as extras.”

Melaka Mohammed stepped into the door, turned his head and said:

"You came back from the Mediterranean just to tell me about the butcher shop in Paris, right?"

"If I say that I want to buy a lot of meat this time, such as a whole sheep," Talleyrand followed into the room decorated with colorful geometric patterns, pulled up a chair and sat down, "then will you give me more?" Big deal? Oh, coffee, thank you.”

Selim III's "New Order" reforms have been carried out for more than two years, which has caused many changes in the Ottomans. For example, chairs began to be accepted by people, and people no longer had to sit on the floor when talking.

Melaka Mohammed said calmly: "But your family can't eat so much, right? If it's just a business, it would be difficult for me to give you a discount.

"Look, I have no shortage of customers here."

Talleyrand took the coffee from the servant and smiled slightly:

"Of course not. Please believe me, I will be your store's biggest customer in the future."
