At first, Americans were really taken aback by this priest. But then someone yelled from behind: "Father, you can't shield sinners! You get out, we don't want to do it to you!"

Following the shout, a U.S. ensign with dark skin and a long scar on his face came over. He stood in front of Father Thom, put one hand on the revolver hung around his waist, and stared at Father Thom with bright red eyes: "Father, many murderers, many sinners have escaped into yours. The church, the sacred church should not be used to shelter them. Please hand them over and let us handle them."

But Father Thom was still standing there, smiling and saying, "My child, the holy church will not defend the true sinner. But my child, religiously speaking, the power to judge who is a sinner is in the hands of God. From a secular perspective, you are a fighter, but you are not a judicial officer, and you have no right to carry out any law enforcement actions.

Besides, Second Lieutenant, I am not blind, and I did not fail to see your actions after entering the city. Lieutenant, you look around, and then tell me, what do you see? The whole city is burning! Don’t tell me that these fires are naturally ignited or the Canadians themselves! Now I give you those who have taken refuge in the sacred church. What terrible things will happen, do you think I don’t know? Lieutenant go back, in front of the temple of God, please retreat to you and your people! "

"Father, this is war, it is collateral damage. And the burning of the city is not our first start. To say that the burning of the city, when the British are burning our city, priest, have you stood up to stop it?" The second lieutenant obviously did not intend to retreat.

"Second lieutenant, do you see the banner behind me? Have we stood up to stop it? Decades ago, when you were oppressed by the British, we French stood up and fought with you. You can win independence. , We French did our best. In this war, after the British did those things that were angry and grieving, we French also stood up for God’s justice. Lieutenant, if we didn’t stand up, we are now on the front line. Still in New York!" Father Thom replied sternly.

That American ensign did not know how to answer for a while. He didn't know that Father Thom used a typical sophistry technique here-exchange concepts. The second lieutenant said clearly "Have you stood up and stopped?" But the priest replaced it with "Have the French stood up and stopped?" Of course, even if the second lieutenant discovered this, it was actually useless. Because the priest has passed such a hand, the Americans feel that they are at a disadvantage under the tricolor banner, and their aura has been suppressed. As long as the priest controls the latter things properly, it is enough not to make Americans angry.

In addition, missionaries and other things, all the work of a lifetime is on one mouth, a small slave owner in the southern United States, a second lieutenant of the US military, what should he talk to a missionary? So, don't use hobbies to challenge people's careers. It will definitely not be good to do so. It is as if in another time and space, Pushkin, the father of Russian literature, proposed a pistol duel to Dantes, the Tsar's guard.

Now the second lieutenant regrets it very much. If just now, he directly ordered the two soldiers to peacefully control the priest, and then went in and arrested all the Canadians. what? Temple refuge? Sorry, I am a farmer, I don’t understand; what is the French flag? Sorry, my eyes are bad, I didn't see it. Wouldn't it be good to leave the rest of the wrangling to those professionals?

But it doesn't work anymore. His previous actions have made it clear that he knows this is a church, and he also knows that the French flag is on it. So if he comes back now, it will be difficult for diplomats who professionally wipe their butts. Therefore, the second lieutenant is now very embarrassed.

But the second lieutenant didn’t want to admit defeat, so he said: “Father, but our people did see British soldiers escaping into your church. These soldiers did not surrender, and even if they surrendered, he should be kept in prison. Camp instead of staying in your church. So, at least let us take these soldiers away."

"Second Lieutenant, where are you going to take these soldiers?" Father Thom asked.

"Of course it was taken to the prison camp," the ensign replied.

"Then, Lieutenant, you dare to put your hands on the Bible and guarantee the salvation of your soul that they will be sent to a prisoner of war camp instead of being killed directly by you on the corner of the street?" Father Thom asked.

"Father...I..." The ensign's voice was low. After all, guys in the American South are generally very religious. It's nothing more than ordinary lying. Putting your hands on the Bible and lying at the cost of the salvation of the soul is really stressful for Southerners who truly believe in God.

"Second lieutenant, can you tell me where your prisoner of war camp is? I think this shouldn’t be a military secret anymore. I hope I can go there and see if your prisoner of war camp is really humane, follow In line with the humanitarian spirit of the Joint Declaration of the Holy See and the French Republic. Then I can safely let these poor people into your prisoner of war camp. Well, my boy, tell me, I can go to your prisoner of war camp to see See?" Father Thom said again.

However, the Americans did not prepare a prisoner-of-war camp at all, and even the rudimentary prisoner-of-war camp like the Rhine Camp of later generations. What do you want a prisoner of war camp for? I caught the British and asked if I had been to the southern United States. If you have said it, just shoot him directly; if you haven't been, then you must be deceiving people, and just shoot him. What do you want a prisoner of war camp for?

Therefore, the second lieutenant hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that the second lieutenant hesitated, Father Thom took the opportunity to say: "Second lieutenant, if this matter is not easy to handle, you can go and ask your superiors."

The American ensign nodded when he heard this, and said, "Well...but the priest, the city is in chaos right now. Many British people are still resisting and shooting randomly. You'd better not run around."

Then the second lieutenant said to the soldiers next to him: "You protect this place, don't let those dangerous criminals run in."

The soldiers all saluted him, and the ensign paid a salute, then turned and left.

As the ensign left, Father Thom breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the American soldiers next to him again and began to preach to them. Of course, it's all about forgiveness and salvation.

Just while preaching, Father Thom looked at the road over there from the corner of his eyes.

After a while, I heard the sound of horses hoofs from the other side of the road, and a group of cavalry came galloping with the French flag. Father Thom looked at the rushing French cavalry and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During the siege, the French basically only left a symbolic army, the main force of which was this cavalry battalion. But this cavalry battalion carried a major mission. That is, when the city defense collapsed, I quickly rushed to this church and met with Father Tom here. As for Father Thom, in addition to being a priest, he also receives two allowances from the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Public Security.

Today, Father Thom, and the French cavalry of this battalion, the most important task is to save as many Canadians as possible in order to prepare for future public opinion propaganda.

And this preparation for public opinion propaganda, the main thing is to describe both Americans and British as barbarians. Then go one step further and attribute all Anglo-Saxons to uncivilized barbarians. Therefore, in the French cavalry battalion that remained, in addition to many medical staff, there were also many reporters.

To be honest, Americans in this era are still very simple, yes, very simple. They still don't know the effect of manipulating world public opinion. This effect can even tear the entire United States directly.

In this war, the contradictions between the North and South of the United States have already been exposed and even intensified. The southerners felt that the losses in the war were the heaviest, and it was the southerners who sacrificed the most, but the only little benefit actually went to the north. They already felt that it was very unfair. But the northerners felt that the war would have ended long ago if it hadn't been for the paranoia of the southerners. And if it weren't for the paranoia of the southerners, most of the most important and best territories would not have been occupied by the French in the later stages of the war. If they were willing to give the British who surrendered a way to survive, how could those people face the United States and resist desperately, and once they saw the tricolor flag, they immediately surrendered?

Generally speaking, southerners think that the Yankees are too cunning and take away all the benefits. It’s nothing more than the French pretend to be the Virgin. You and we belong to the same country. You don’t want to help us avenge, but you follow the French to pretend to be the Virgin. It’s really bad. The northerners felt that the Southerners were so stupid that they didn't know their way. In short, one thinks the other party is bad, the other thinks the other party is stupid.

Then, the Frenchman ran up to stab him. Over the years, French media has penetrated a lot in the United States. Of course, many newspapers are still Americans in name, but in reality, there is often a French sponsor behind them~lightnovelpub.net~ Under their control, this kind of contradiction has become more and more serious. It became obvious.

Of course, it is not obvious to instigate, so the French method is often like this. When reporting on this war, the southern newspapers first emphasized the critical situation, and then praised the southern soldiers, who fought bravely, and once again saved the north and saved the north. Under this propaganda, the southern guys looked very happy, and at the same time, they faintly formed a stereotyped impression of the northern guys-Yankees are afraid of death in wars and love to be slippery. We rely on us to support them, or else light Relying on them, they had already surrendered.

As for northern newspapers, when reporting stories about the army fighting bravely in the north, they always like to describe simple-mindedness. The Southerner who only knows that he is reckless, paranoid, arrogant, and always in trouble strategically.

This kind of report, looking at any one of them, seems to be complimenting people from your hometown. It seems that the mention of North Koreans or Southerners is not the main thing, just a handy comparison. However, as soon as there are many such reports, such stereotypes are generally accepted by both sides-the seeds of division are unknowingly buried in American hearts.
