Suez.
Nashadir.
This person has not appeared on the stage of history for a long time.
He was sitting on his tall building, looking at the busy Suez Canal scene, holding a liquor from Long Yan in his hand.
With his eyes flickering, he couldn't help but burst out the anger in his heart.
Why?
It was obviously him who landed in Suez first!
Why did Ling Chen come directly to take over later! He should be the person in charge here. But when the powerful Ling Chen came here, he became the king here!
Nashadir, who once took his five thousand brothers and traveled thousands of miles to get here, has become an outsider!
"Asshole!"
Nashadir's mood is naturally understandable.
He was originally a governor of the Safavid Dynasty, why should he be here and suffer this injustice!
He has his own firm beliefs!
He has his own powerful soldiers!
But he was summoned by Ling Chen every day and left immediately. This Ling Chen completely used him as a coolie!
He was fooled!
That abominable Longyan man!
These hypocritical Longyan people!
"Boss..."
Just then, one of his subordinates ran in.
Nashadir also sighed when he saw his brothers. They were all good fighters, but they were used by Ling Chen as coolies... When he ran in, his shoes were still stained with mud! Damn it, he was the one who brought his brother to this situation.
He is the one who feels sorry for the brothers!
"Why, Ling Chen is making things difficult for you again?"
Nashadir took a sip of wine.
The subordinate had a stern look on his face: "Boss, it's not that... we can still bear this grievance. It's someone from France!"
"What?"
"France?"
Nashadir's eyes lit up when he heard this.
What are the people in France doing with me?
Nashadir seemed to be used to being ignored.
"Still a general..."
The brother looked around and whispered.
"oh?"
Nashadir stood up and took a deep breath.
I used to be a famous governor of the Safavid dynasty. Even the Safavid king had to give him a bit of a thumbs down! Why has it fallen to this point now?
Liu Zheng!
Damn Long Yanren!
Led by his brother, he walked through several alleys.
Recently, the entire Suez has been busy preparing for the final opening. When they heard that Liu Zheng was coming to the site, these people in East India were even more excited.
so……
No one cares about Nashadir...
no one!
Walk to an abandoned warehouse near the port.
This time, it was a relatively secret meeting.
but……
He hadn't seen the Frenchman yet, and when the warehouse opened, he was stunned.
this?
Seeing the piles of combat supplies in front of him, he forgot to breathe for a moment.
"This is……"
Nashadir's breathing was a little rapid.
"Hahahaha! Lord Nashadir, I'm glad to meet you!"
Behind a pile of supplies, a tall man with blond hair walked out laughing.
"you are?"
Nashadir was not a fool, and he quickly understood the path in front of him.
Someone is planning to give me something!
And this man is French!
"Honorable Lord Nashadir, I am Christine from the French Army!"
"Christine?"
Nashadir took a deep breath and his eyes lit up.
This man is relatively famous in France, and even in Europe as a whole.
He is a relatively young and energetic general of the French Royal Army.
He was born into a noble family and had solid military theory. He seemed to be a representative of France's new generals.
he……
Actually came to find yourself in person?
Moreover, Nashadir never expected that France, a country that was completely different from him, would actually give him so many things.
Twenty red barbarian cannons and three thousand flintlock muskets! Tons of ammunition!
Not only weapons and equipment, but also a large amount of bedding and food...
His eyes continued to flicker.
What is the purpose of giving away these war preparation materials?
Of course this goes without saying...
"General Christian, what does this mean..."
Nashadir laughed and pretended not to be moved.
Christine's body was full of the temperament of a European aristocrat, and she smiled elegantly: "When Nashadir was in Safi, he was a world-famous lord, so I really don't know why you are willing to do this. How about being a pawn under an Indian company?"
These words pierced Nashadir's heart.
Why?
Of course I have no choice!
If he had his way, who would want to look at Ling Chen's stinky face every day!
He clenched his fists angrily.
As Liu Zheng is about to arrive in Europe, the situation in Europe has actually begun to become strange.
Britain marches into Egypt, but France wants to win over itself...
After thinking about it, the blood clot in Nashadir's brain suddenly cleared. He is now a hot potato!
After all, he was the one who came to Suez first!
The natives here were all conquered by him!
However, now that Ling Chen is here, there is a dove occupying the magpie's nest!
but……
The people of Nashadir still have fighting power!
Now these hegemonic countries throughout Europe are eyeing Suez!
France has sharpened its sword.
Britain is definitely not willing to give up...
Britain cannot win Suez, and naturally does not want Suez to fall into the other two camps, so it will definitely spend a lot of money to win over itself!
Located at the junction of three continents, enjoying the resources of two major countries in the world!
hehe……
A dragon flame is nothing!
Nashadir believes that within a few years, he will be able to build a powerful empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa in this region!
He had just consulted with Christine for a while and returned to his residence.
really.
"General, guests from Britain are here."
"Please!"
…
Arabian Sea.
The weather was warm and comfortable, and Liu Zheng felt very comfortable standing on the deck blowing the sea breeze.
Xie Chan walked out of the cabin and lay on the railing, bored.
"We have been sailing on the sea for several days and nights. When will we arrive at our destination?"
Although it was novel to see the sea for the first time, and it really excited Xie Chan for a while, after all, she got tired of it. She was tired of seeing the same scenery every day.
Furthermore, although the Conqueror is large, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the endless sea. A slight wave in the sea will cause the Conqueror to shake a lot.
No comfort at all.
Xie Chan was not a pampered princess, but the erratic feeling under her feet was really unbearable.
"Don't be anxious, count the days, it's almost done today."
While Liu Zheng was comforting him, the shadow of land appeared on the sea level.
"Brother, we are here!"
In the distance, Jiang Xuan waved to Liu Zheng excitedly. This period of wandering made Jiang Xuan, a seasick man, almost spit out his gall. Now that he saw land, he finally saw hope!
The Conqueror and the battleship group slowly docked, and at this time, people from the East India Company and Nashadir came to greet them.
Even though Nashadir had his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, after all, Liu Zheng had helped him so much in the first place, and he still had to show the due etiquette for rekindling the relationship.
Nashadil stepped forward, intending to hold his fists in the Dragon Flame salute and say hello, but when he saw Liu Zheng in front of him, Nashadir suddenly became cold.
It was hard for him to imagine that Liu Shilang, the rumored mentor and passionate writer, would actually be such a cheerful and sunny young man!
"General, do I have any questions?" Liu Zheng asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, I just didn't expect that Liu Shilang would be so young..."
"General Na, pay attention to your title. Now, it is no longer Liu Shilang, but Liu Shoufang."
As Nashadir was talking, Ling Chen couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."
Nashadir looked embarrassed, but tried his best to hide his anger.
Liu Zheng laughed and said it was nothing.
But the spark between the two people could be seen in their eyes.
"General, don't worry. Speaking of which, the general has the greatest credit for the construction of the Suez Canal. Liu Zheng should express his gratitude!"
After saying that, Liu Zheng bowed deeply.
"Ah this?"
Nashadir quickly gave him some support. Although he knew that Liu Zheng was just acting, he still admired Liu Zheng. How could a person of such a status pay such a big tribute to himself in full view of everyone!
At least, the face is enough!
Ling Chen was beside him, looking unhappy.
Why is a Nashadir like this?
Nashadir's mood felt better.
In any case, Liu Zheng is currently a superior person. As a superior person, he can actually lower his posture in front of him...
Liu Shoufu is indeed not simple.
Liu Zheng's arrival did not attract excessive attention.
Because the Suez Canal project was still at its busiest, he followed Ling Chen and Nashadir around.
He deliberately paid attention to Nashadir's performance.
Ling Chen's overly strong character seems to have brought great unhappiness to Nashadir...
This is a bomb...
You know, this Nashadir is not a vegetarian. He himself has five thousand soldiers, and when he was in Safi, he was a character who could beat the king to pieces...
If this relationship is not handled well, something bad may happen at any time.
"Brother, this Nashadir..."
Jiang Xuan said cautiously next to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng calmly shook his head and stopped Jiang Xuan's words.
Compared to Jiang Xuan's caution, Liu Zheng seemed very indifferent.
Regarding the Suez Canal, Liu Zheng knew it well.
Even if Nashadir benefited from Britain and France in the future and became stronger and wanted to get rid of his own rule, Liu Zheng would not care. He even hoped that this would happen.
After all, Nashadir was the first to set foot in Suez. Although Ling Chen came later, Nashadir still occupies a very good territory here...
Due to both emotion and reason, Liu Zheng could not openly seize Nashadir's territory.
The international community will not allow Liu Zheng to do this...
but……
What if it was Nashadir who couldn't help it anymore?
Suddenly, the way Liu Zheng looked at Ling Chen became unusual.
Before, he thought that it was Ling Chen's strong character that naturally suppressed Nashadir... It seemed that Ling Chen had matured a lot since taking charge of the East India Company.
He did this completely with deep meaning...
Although Nashadir is considered powerful, and may even receive full support from European powers, he is completely rootless now, and it is still impossible to develop a powerful force here. And Long Yan's combat power is developing rapidly at any time...
At that time, was it not easy to win over an emerging force?
Liu Zheng is not a person who likes to eat alone. He is willing to take Nashadir to make a fortune together. If Nashadir wants to kick himself out and enjoy the dividends of the Suez Canal alone, then I'm sorry, you can't even follow me to drink soup. The chance is gone.
Now, it's up to Nashadir's own choice.
…
The entire West Asia was under Liu Zheng's control, but at this time, Long Yan's Liaodong was in chaos.
At first, the plague only spread among the army, but as time went by, plague appeared in Hailanpao, Vladivostok, and even the Khabarovsk area.
Now, not only Xiao Qian was panicked, but also the government officials in Liaodong were panicked.
Liaodong is now at an important stage of development. If the plague spreads to Liaodong at this time, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Liaodong!
Development stopped, the population dropped sharply, and immigrants stopped moving in...
If the plague spreads, Liu Zheng's layout in Liaodong will be destroyed!
Xiao Qian hasn't slept for two whole days.
Although he was a general leading troops in war and knew nothing about treating diseases and saving lives, he still fought hard with the military doctors for two days and two nights.
These two days were not in vain, they finally found the source of the plague!
They found stinking rat corpses on the bodies of Tsarist Russian soldiers!
This plague is the plague!
