Getting the Operation Started Right Away

"So, Napoleon's betraying the Kingdom of Spain," Dessalines pondered, his brow furrowing as he absorbed the detailed account from General Desaix. "The future Emperor of France is evidently a man of boundless ambition."

Desaix nodded in agreement. "Indeed, power has a way of consuming any man, leaving them thirsting for more. But His Excellency is different. I can feel it, and I want to be part of creating his great vision in this world. Since both of you are technically under the Republic of France, you are expected to contribute to this cause." 

"No problem for me," Louverture said, pledging his allegiance to the plan. "The Dominion of Saint-Domingue could definitely help on this operation, General Desaix. First, let's talk about the Spanish colony of Cuba. It is currently led by the Governor General by the name of Salvador José de Muro, 2nd Marquis of Someruelos."
