In order to defend this mine with astonishing gold content, France sent a large number of troops to garrison.
At this time, Britain also sent troops to try to take back the gold mine from the hands of the French.
The two armies have not yet engaged in battle.
At this moment, Longyan City, the city lord’s mansion.
Qin Changfeng is now running in both directions. Today he is in Longyan City.
Qing Yangshuo received the battle report, and the French and British armies had already set off.
"Mr. Qingyang, your strategy is really powerful." Qin Changfeng praised.
He looked at the battle report and moved the flags representing France and Britain to the map of the gold mine.
It is foreseeable that a war will inevitably break out in that place, and it is destined to be a protracted war.
But Qing Yangshuo frowned, looking at the map of Longyan City without any expression of joy like Qin Changfeng's.
Qin Changfeng also noticed something was wrong with Qing Yangshuo's expression. He was startled and asked, "Sir, the plan is done. What else do you have to worry about."
Qing Yangshuo did not answer Qin Changfeng, but clicked on the battle report on the table.
Qin Changfeng picked up the battle report, opened it and glanced at it a few times, his expression suddenly became solemn.
"They Britannia still dare to send troops over, I will go out and destroy them right now!" Qin Changfeng picked up the knife and was about to leave.
At this moment, Qing Yangshuo's voice sounded.
"Come back, don't be impulsive."
Qin Changfeng paused, looked at the door, sighed, then turned back and slapped the knife on the table.
"Mr. Qingyang, our Longyan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If these British guards enter the city, what should we do?"
"There is no other way. Britain has our people in their hands for the right reasons, and we now have a cooperative relationship, so we can only let them in." Qing Yangshuo sighed and said.
"Can……"
Qin Changfeng clapped his hands, his face full of anxiety: "Then we can't let them enter our Longyan City with weapons!"
But Qing Yangshuo shook his head: "No, it won't work if Long Yancheng doesn't want them to come in this time."
"When you act, you have to act like it."
Qin Changfeng had no choice but to sit on a chair and take a sip of tea. He understood what Qing Yangshuo meant.
In order to prevent Britain from becoming suspicious, Long Yancheng had to reassure them first before Britain would attack France without any worries.
Britain and France will focus on the mineral veins. Only in this way can Longyan City have a chance to reap the benefits.
"Pass on my order. In order to welcome our friends from Britain and send our Longyan merchants back, Longyan City has decided to hold a banquet for three days."
"Implement a curfew during special periods and increase the number of patrols by Long Yan's army."
Qin Changfeng knew that these orders were just a delaying tactic. If the British guards didn't fall into the trap, there was nothing they could do.
"General Qin, how is the progress of the factory you are building in Yuncheng?"
Yuncheng is the name of Long Yan's second city in America, although the entire city has not yet been built.
But it has also begun to take shape.
"The progress is steady. I use the food to hire the Indians to work, and they are very happy."
Qing Yangshuo expressed his approval. They also brought extremely advanced agricultural technology from Longyan, which has already been established in Longyan City. The food output is now enough to meet the expenses of the two cities.
The place on the Isthmus of Panama is densely forested and there is no cultivated land yet, so now we can only rely on Longyan City to provide some necessary supplies.
"I'm sending you some food. Your progress will be accelerated."
Qin Changfeng nodded, and then reported on the current situation of military training.
These Indians originally lived in the jungle, and basically all of them were good hunters.
But now the Indians there are being persecuted by the Spanish. Their survival is already difficult, and now it is even worse.
Qin Changfeng also used grain as military pay, attracting many Indians to join the army.
"Such a force cannot yet form combat effectiveness."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qingyang, I will definitely make these Indians an effective fighting force." Qin Changfeng promised, patting his chest.
Qing Yangshuo was still reassured about Qin Changfeng's ability in military training.
The only thing on Qing Yangshuo's mind in Yuncheng now is the Panama Canal.
"Is there any progress regarding the canal?" Qing Yangshuo knew the answer, but couldn't help but ask.
"There hasn't been much progress. Our current level cannot cut through 40-meter-deep rocks."
The Panama Canal is a very important move made by Liu Zheng in the Americas.
This move is directly related to Long Yan's development in America.
But so much time had passed without any progress, and Qing Yangshuo couldn't help but feel anxious secretly.
At this moment, a boy came in.
"Reply from Lord Chief Assistant."
Qing Yangshuo's eyes lit up and he took Liu Zheng's letter from the boy's hand.
However, he didn't have high hopes. After all, Liu Zheng had never surveyed the Isthmus of Panama.
Qing Yangshuo only attached a map of the Isthmus of Panama to the letter. There was no way to explain the entire Isthmus of Panama to Liu Zheng in the letter.
Qin Changfeng also had no hope. He was someone who had explored the canal and knew the difficulty of this canal.
Qing Yangshuo opened the envelope, looked at the contents inside, and his eyes lit up: "Wonderful!"
Qin Changfeng was stunned and asked immediately: "Master Chief Assistant, is there anything you can do?"
Qing Yangshuo nodded and handed the letter to Qin Changfeng. He looked at the pattern Liu Zheng drew in the letter.
I immediately understood what Liu Zheng meant.
In my heart, I admired even more, their chief assistant, Long Yan, Liu Zheng.
"Ship locks, Gatun Lake, artificial canals..."
"Awesome, this plan is designed for the Isthmus of Panama."
This plan takes advantage of the topography of the Isthmus of Panama, from high to low, designing Gatun Lake at the high level and setting up ship locks at the low level.
When the ship comes, close the rear lock at the lower level and use the characteristics of water flowing to the lower level to raise the water level at the lower level.
After raising it to a high level, open the ship lock and let the ship pass through Gatun Lake. At the artificial canal on the other side, put it over and use the ship lock to control the water level changes.
"With this plan, there will be absolutely no problem with the Panama Canal."
"Well, hurry up and get ready, this matter has to be put on the agenda!"
"Okay, sir, Long Yancheng's side..."
Qing Yangshuo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't you still trust me?"
Qin Changfeng nodded, immediately took Liu Zheng's drawings and rushed back to Yuncheng.
The Panama Canal issue is their top priority now.
But at this moment, the once powerful Spanish Empire is now eyeing the city built by the Longyan people in Panama.
The Isthmus of Panama is their Spanish colonial territory, how could they give it up to Long Yan!
Spanish leader Babbitt watched the night fall with cold eyes: "Brothers, prepare to charge! The hateful Longyan people must not build a city on our territory!"
