"Prime Minister, you said that the Longyan people have been lying in wait for our city for a long time, but most of Egypt is a desert. Even near our port city, the sky is full of yellow sand. How could they stay there for so long! "
"This is impossible!"
The weather in the desert can change throughout the day. The last moment it may have been so hot and scorching that people would not want to stay in the scorching sun for a moment longer.
But in the next second, strong winds may rise, causing clouds, rain, and even hail. The temperature will drop rapidly, and winter will come in the blink of an eye.
There is also a lack of water resources and food. Few people can live in the desert for such a long time without staying in an oasis.
What's more, such an army has survived in the desert for so long without being discovered.
"Are these Longyan people the chosen ones, or do they have supernatural powers?" Some ministers questioned.
The ministers in the French court immediately exchanged their opinions fiercely.
But no one thought that Long Yan could survive in the desert for that long.
Louis XV looked at the commotion in the court and shouted coldly: "Quiet!"
Upon hearing this cold shout, these ministers immediately fell silent.
Louis XV glanced around the ministers, looked at Bruce, and asked: "Prime Minister, the Longyan people are still humans, they are not gods!"
"You have to take responsibility for what you say."
Bruce laughed, glanced at Louis XV's sullen face, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what the first thing Long Yan did when introducing the Suez Canal?"
"Attack the Austrian ports."
"I remember that it took less than four days for the Austrian port to fall, but the Dragon Flame fleet did not land from the sea. The city was occupied by the Dragon Flame army from the land.
"Then where did their troops come from?"
The ministers fell silent. When the military report reached France, they all felt as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially when it was later confirmed that the Longyan Army landed on Nashadir's territory.
When they got the news, they shouted that the Longyan people were marching like ghosts!
"The distance from the port of Nashadir's territory to the city in Austria is at least seven days. At that time, the Dragon Flame Army took four days. The Dragon Flame people are neither gods nor ghosts!"
"So they must have used some new invention that we don't know. Just like the original Yinzhou ship, it can march quickly!"
After Bruce said these words, a layer of gloom suddenly seemed to envelope the entire court.
The minister was silent, and so was Louis XV.
They knew that Long Yan was the pioneer of the industrial revolution, but they did not expect that their technological level had advanced to this stage.
Equipment that can move quickly!
The invention of this thing can directly affect the direction and even the final outcome of a war.
Bruce glanced at these ministers, smiled lightly and said: "However, I am talking about joining. Maybe Long Yan has other means to do it that we are not aware of."
"For example, it's possible that the initial landing place of their Dragon Flame Army was not in Nashadir's territory, but somewhere else."
Everyone seemed to have not heard these words and remained silent.
After all, Bruce's inference was too scary. If Long Yan really mastered such technology, Long Yan's millions of troops in Europe would be enough to defeat them.
Louis XV looked at Bruce with complicated eyes and asked in a deep voice: "If Long Yan really has such equipment, do we still have a chance to win?"
Everyone looked at Prime Minister Bruce.
Quietly waiting for Bruce to pronounce the result.
But no matter who it is, they all understand what this result is, but no one pokes at this layer of window paper, and everyone still has a glimmer of hope.
"No." Bruce poked through the window paper.
After hearing this result, everyone's expressions darkened, and the hope in their hearts was extinguished.
Louis XV, the hero of France, also fell into a long sigh. Although France has experienced the industrial revolution in recent years, its powerful empire has been declining day by day.
Now they are competing with Britain for maritime hegemony, but they are always at a disadvantage. America was originally their hope.
But now America is completely blocked by Britain and Long Yan. Without sea ports, Louis XV has no way of knowing what the situation in America is.
Louis XV fell into deep thought. They would not necessarily lose this war. Prussia's only allies were Longyan and Britain, and Britain could not provide military assistance to Prussia.
France has a great chance of winning this war, but France is destined to lose too much.
Thinking of this, Louis XV had a headache. He could not announce his withdrawal from the war now. If they withdraw from the war, their losses would be even greater.
What a dilemma.
At this moment, Bruce's voice sounded.
"However, according to the information from my informant, Long Yan also has a factory in Australia, and Australia is led by Long Yan's former prince Xie Fang."
"The level of scientific research there is not weak. Maybe we can go to Australia and have a look." Bruce said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Louis XV's eyes lit up, Australia.
It was an independent continent. Louis XV had heard of it, but he had no intention of attacking that place.
Because there is the Dragon Flame Army there.
But when Bruce said it was Xie Fang's territory, Louis XV was relieved.
Xie Fang was the prince of Long Yan, but in Louis XV's eyes, Xie Fang was the Australia where Liu Zheng was exiled.
It seems that the strength is not as good as Long Yan, and the most important thing is that the level of scientific research there is not low.
This kind of good thing, if we don't occupy it now, it will be easier for others.
"Give me my order to send troops to Australia!" Louis XV immediately issued the order.
It didn't take long for the French fleet to quietly set out to sea, aiming for Australia.
…
At this time, Australia.
Xie Fang returned to his palace. It had been a long time since he came back from Longyan. Every time he recalled what he saw in Longyan, he felt uneasy.
Under the leadership of Liu Zheng, Long Yan came out with interesting things almost every day, and his achievements in science and technology were simply not worth mentioning compared to Long Yan.
Not to mention anything else, Long Yan beat him to pieces just for basic factory construction.
As for armaments and the like, what he visited in Longyan made him feel numb. This level was much higher than his own.
His own troops were still old men brought over by Long Yan. This time they returned to Long Yan, and many of them even came back again.
Hey, compared to Long Yan, Australia today is simply a remote country.
Xie Fang was deeply shocked!
Xie Fang turned over bitterly, thinking to himself whether he should learn from Liu Zheng and establish private ownership?
But on second thought, he might as well forget it. Australia still has a lot of problems waiting for him to deal with.
