Seeing that everything happened as expected, Liu Zheng smiled slightly and nodded.

Nashadir next to him was extremely excited now.

This is Liu Zheng!

This is Mr. Liu!

There is nothing wrong with following him and having meat to eat!

Who is Loggins?

Although he experienced a defeat in Australia, he still has some popularity in Britain.

He is a young talent of the Royal Navy and comes from a noble family.

did not expect……

As soon as Liu Zheng took action, he immediately withered.

The second time...

The second encounter was defeat.

This Dragon Flame Man is really poisonous!

Even though Nashadir was flirting with Britain, his position was to follow Liu Zheng's, so he wouldn't be polite at all if they started fighting now.

"Let's go back."

Liu Zheng saw that the overall situation was basically the same, so he took Jiang Xuan and others back.

He didn't dare to stay here too long, not because he was worried about his own combat effectiveness, but because he was worried about Loggins.

If Loggins' navy sneak attacks on his own fleet from behind, then the morale of these 50,000 people must be unstable. If Hans leads his army to kill the generals, they will run the risk of being annihilated.

But obviously, Liu Zheng's worries were unnecessary.

Loggins simply did not have the courage to take the initiative to fight the Yinzhou ship.

Last time in Australia, he had personally experienced the firepower and range of the Yinzhou ship. He is a person who seeks stability and will never take action at an uncertain time.

Loggins is indeed somewhat impeccable. His defense does not give his opponents any chance at all.

However, this is not a good thing for him.

War is a very complicated thing. Fighter opportunities will always disappear in an instant. If you miss them, you may lose the initiative in the war.

This is the current battle for the canal with Long Yan.

Long Yan hoped to hold him back. As long as he can continuously gain advantages while avoiding a major war, Liu Zheng is sure to win this war.

Loggins did not take the initiative to attack, which not only bought Liu Zheng time, but also increased the conflict between their army and navy.

This is why, since ancient times, a famous general has been so important to a war. Because an experienced general is a decisive factor.

If a general like Ushakov or Rumyantsev reacted very differently in this situation.

They will attack decisively and seize the fleeting opportunity on the battlefield.

However……

Loggins is not Ushakov or Rumyantsev.

In fact, he is not as good as Hans...

"Coward!"

"Coward, this damn Loggins, what does he want to do!"

"The majestic Royal Navy, that's it?"

Now Hans is furious!

I'm fighting with Long Yan's people, but you're just watching the excitement?

If it weren't for the existence of the United Kingdom, he would really want to destroy these English people.

Hans was British, but he was not English.

The former is a nation, while the latter is a race.

Britain is not a unified country, it is a United Kingdom composed of four countries.

These four countries are, from largest to largest, "England", "Scotland", "Wales", and "Northern Ireland".

Wales and Northern Ireland have always been controlled by England due to their weakness, but Scotland is different.

The Scots had established their country in Britain a long time ago, and it can be said that they are the original inhabitants of Britain.

As for England, they were "invaders" who came to Britain only a few centuries ago.

The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, but now, it is only because England wants to colonize overseas better that it turns the war with Scotland into friendship.

Ordinarily, unity and common development should be a good thing for both parties, but in fact, England enjoys all the benefits, while Scotland plays a thankless role.

England's shipbuilding technology was far superior to Scotland's, so almost all of the benefits from the great voyages fell into the hands of the English, while the Scots only sent people to garrison and manage the occupied areas.

Hans plays such a role.

The taxes they collect from managing this place must be handed over to the parliament in a certain proportion. In the end, what is left in their hands is actually a very small part.

Getting less money doesn’t mean there are less things to do.

Wherever there is repression, there is resistance. When Britain begins to impose excessive taxes, the people of the colonies will definitely set off a wave of anti-colonial struggle. Although their overall strength is far from that of the British army, they will still give the British army a surprise. Causing casualties...

All of the above are the reasons for the discord between Hans and Logins. There are irreconcilable contradictions between military services and races. Now, Long Yan's invasion has brought this contradiction to a critical value. If the situation is further stimulated, it is not impossible for them to have a civil war.

Liu Zheng, of course, does not expect this. He just needs to hold on for a while and wait for Long Yan to regain his strength.

Although he is abroad, Liu Zheng has been paying attention to domestic developments.

Liu Zheng's intelligence organization reported the recent domestic situation to Liu Zheng, and after reading the contents of the intelligence, Liu Zheng couldn't sit still.

Less than a month after he left, Long Yan's situation changed a bit quickly.

The plague actually spread in the Northeast!

The spread of the plague caused Beidacang's economic growth to stagnate instantly. This was the top priority in Liu Zheng's plan. He did not expect that such an accident would occur.

The economy of the Northeast is the strongest support for Liu Zheng's global layout. If there is a problem in the Northeast, it will have a huge impact on Liu Zheng's market. If he wants to maintain the previous layout, Long Yan's finances will be in deficit.

Now, Long Yan is a large-scale interest group, and various forces come together because of their interests. But if the fiscal deficit makes these guys unprofitable, then the system they have worked so hard to establish will be lost. It will be destroyed in one day.

Fortunately, the Li Dynasty actually dispatched the navy and drove away the Tsarist Russian fleet, which relieved the pressure on the Northeast region. Otherwise, Long Yan would really be in danger of collapsing.

At that time, I just wanted to do a favor and sold a lot of weapons and equipment to Lee Hyuna. I didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise!

Now, Liu Zheng has to go back and take a look.

The Northeast is unstable and the situation in the DPRK is bound to be turbulent. At this time, he, the chief assistant, must return to the country to suppress the battle.

As for Suez, the previous raids had greatly weakened the strength of the British and Egyptian defenders. With Jiang Xuan's help, Nashadil should have no problem holding on. Moreover, even if they did not have the strength to hold on, Liu Zheng was not worried. Because he has found the best helper for Jiang Xuan.

"Brother, are you going back now?"

Jiang Xuan was a little reluctant to give up.

Liu Zheng chuckled and was noncommittal.

Originally, the focus of his visit to Suez this time was to attend the opening ceremony of Suez.

But what can be done...

As soon as he came here, the situation became complicated.

But this is normal.

Suez is so important.

Neither Britain nor France would allow Suez to complete it so smoothly.

Originally, Liu Zheng wanted to go to France to see if he could find Napoleon, and then support him in doing something.

Unexpectedly, the plague in Northeast China spread.

It’s ruined...

He sighed: "I'll leave this to you. Xi'er and Mo Chen will come over in a while, and it will be fun for you two."

On the same day, Liu Zheng's fleet group began to set sail.

Liu Zheng was rushing back to Long Yan, and at this time, something big happened to Long Yan.

Dunhuang fell.

Rumyantsev actually led an army through the Gobi Desert and attacked Dunhuang by surprise!

Although Dunhuang was an important military town, because Long Yan spent a lot of energy on the northeast and southeast, and because Dunhuang was already an inland city and the threat of war was small, the armaments were slightly depleted.

With their weak defensive capabilities, they were unable to withstand Tsarist Russia's 200,000-strong army. The Tsarist Russian army took over the ancient city of Dunhuang in less than five hours with little effort.

Where is Dunhuang? That was within the territory of Liangzhou, and Dunhuang was the west gate of Liangzhou. Once Dunhuang was lost, the gate of Liangzhou would be wide open, and Liu Zheng's base would be in danger.

Even Rumyantsev himself did not expect that this time he would cross the desert and fight to the death. Unexpectedly, he would actually have a chance of survival!

Although they lost nearly 20,000 people during the journey, if they can finally capture Dunhuang, the sacrifice will be worth it!

Controlling Dunhuang was like putting a nail under Liu Zheng's butt. He wanted to see how Liu Zheng would solve this situation!

Not all of Long Yan's crises come from the northwest, Long Yan's direct north also has fatal threats.

The Mongolian cavalry rushed over.
