章節 228: Napoleon's Leniency

"I've been going through the reports about what's been going on in Saint-Domingue, trying to get a handle on the situation," Napoleon said as he smacked his lips. "I must  say, it's been pretty brutal." 

"There has been a lot of power struggle in Saint-Domingue, Your Excellency. Only our faction has managed to make any real headway," Toussaint replied, his expression earnest as he leaned forward slightly. "The different groups on the island have been wrestling for control, but our faction has been the most successful in making progress."

Napoleon nodded, taking another bite of his cake before responding. "And you accepted my invitation to Paris to make sure that progress goes steady, am I right?"

Toussaint nodded in agreement. "Absolutely, Your Excellency. Being here gives me the chance to establish a direct line of communication with the French Republic and ensure that our efforts in Saint-Domingue align with the larger goals."
