"The Lord's will?"
Ling Chen looked at her doubtfully, the one in the white robe had a smile on her delicate features, and smiled lightly.
"General, God says not to abandon the believers in Austria."
"Please, protect them."
Ling Chen fell into silence, not expecting this woman to make such a request.
The majority of Austrians believe in Catholicism, which is considered heretical by other sects.
As long as they are discovered, these people must be labeled as heretics and spread the controversy of cults.
There are irreconcilable doctrinal conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism.
Therefore, when the two sides meet, they are fighting each other for life and death, since they cannot explain each other through words and doctrines.
Then use physical means to persuade the other party, end the life of the pagan in the other party's eyes, and achieve the purpose of persuading the other party.
Long Yan dared to go so deep into the heart of the European continent under the guise of aiding the Protestants.
So these Protestants are the targets they want to help and the people they want to win over.
But the strategic goal now was to get to the homeland of Prussia as quickly as possible.
The Protestants gathered there, gained a popular base, and established a base to help Prussia solve their current crisis.
There is not much food and grass left.
If you continue to stay in Austria to protect the pitifully few Protestants here, it will be inconsistent with the current strategic goal.
If you go there rashly, if you don’t have enough food and grass...
What a dilemma.
If they do not assist these Protestant believers, Long Yanjun's slogan will be empty words, and it will definitely be difficult to gain a foothold in Europe.
But if they want to help these Protestants, there is now insufficient food and grass, and they will not be able to get assistance from the native Prussian residents if they continue to stay in Austria.
By the time Ling Chen leads this army, it will be an isolated and helpless army.
It will be completely wiped out by Austria in its own territory.
What a dilemma.
The one in the white robe could see the dilemma hidden in Ling Chen's eyes, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
She smiled slightly and said: "If the general feels embarrassed, it's okay. The Lord's will does not necessarily need to be completed now."
But now those Austrian Protestants are on the verge of life and death...
"I will still follow the Lord's will and become the guide of the Dragon Flame Army in Austria and Prussia."
"No!" Ling Chen said in a deep voice.
The one in the white robe, her eyes lit up slightly.
Ling Chen looked at her touching face and said solemnly: "We, Long Yan, have an old saying, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Since we are here to aid the Protestant religion, we will never watch any believer of the Lord suffer."
Hearing these words, the woman in white robe actually blushed.
Only then did Ling Chen realize that he was leaning too tightly against the other person's face and was still staring at him.
Ling Chen hurriedly turned around and coughed twice in embarrassment: "Wait a moment and tell me where the Austrian Protestants are."
Ling Chen turned his back and his face felt a little hot for some reason. Thinking of what he had done just now, it was really not in line with etiquette.
How can you talk directly to a girl's face, but this European woman is really pretty.
Ling Chen's face became even hotter when he thought of this.
At this moment, an ethereal and graceful voice came from behind: "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Diana."
"Diana..." Ling Chen recited it several times in his mind.
It sounded more and more pleasant, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
"General, don't you want to tell me your name?" Diana asked with a smile.
"Ling Chen." Ling Chen answered simply.
But he never looked back at Diana again.
Diana's beautiful brows wrinkled slightly, shrugged, and looked at Ling Chen with a pair of beautiful eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Not long after, Ling Chen heard slight footsteps, it was Diana and three people leaving.
For some reason, Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had developed a courageous body. He had the ability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes.
But I don’t know why I felt a little nervous when facing Diana.
It is not known where this tension comes from.
Ling Chen couldn't figure it out, so he dispelled the slightest tension and thought carefully.
What a dilemma.
From beginning to end, there was only one choice.
If the Austrian Protestants are not saved, Long Yan's slogan of supporting the Protestants this time is not just empty talk.
It will also give Liu Zheng and even Long Yan a bad reputation for not keeping their word.
Then they will face the verbal criticism from the European forces, and the Protestants will also lose their trust in Long Yan under these verbal criticisms.
After all, Long Yan chose to refuse help when faced with the Protestants' request for help.
Once this happens, it will have irreparable consequences.
Moreover, as long as this fact is established, it will be useless if the Longyan warship does not go to Prussia's homeland.
Ling Chen's army can only become a lone army.
Complete isolation in Europe will even affect the direction of the European battlefield.
After a while.
Diana came over to tell Ling Chen where the Austrian Protestants were hiding.
Ling Chen was slightly stunned when he saw the location pointed out by Diana on the map, wondering if it was God's will or a coincidence.
The location of these Protestants was actually the same city as the city he was marching to next.
Ling Chen smiled and shook his head. Not long after, he gave the order for the army to set off. The destination remained unchanged.
…
At this time, America, Yuncheng.
At the city lord's house, Qing Yangshuo received secret letters from Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
Qing Yangshuo stroked his beard, a smile blooming on his face.
The content of the letter is what happened to Wan Shang and Fang Dalong in France. Here is a brief summary.
They have penetrated into the enemy's interior, are close to the enemy's high-level officials, and have initially gained the enemy's trust...
"Things in France have developed, and things in Britain should be coming soon. Well, there's no rush. Let's delay for a while."
Qing Yangshuo was sitting in a wheelchair and thinking. In this way, the conflict between France and Britain would escalate quickly.
Long Yan is now sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and there is no problem at all.
The situation is great.
However, there is still one problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. The construction of the Panama Canal has been initially completed.
The basic factory construction in Yuncheng is almost complete.
The scale of buildings in Yuncheng is several times larger than that of Longyan City.
Moreover, the construction of basic factories in Yuncheng is a top priority, if not for the fact that Longyan City is Longyan's central city in America and has an extremely special strategic location.
Located at the core of the current traffic artery.
In terms of scale and productivity alone, Yuncheng is stronger than Longyan City, and its military strength is also stronger than Longyan City.
Qing Yangshuo looked into the future. If the Panama Canal is successfully built, Yuncheng will be Long Yan's second maritime transportation hub city in the Americas.
Direct communication between the two oceans.
The strategic attributes are stronger than those of Longyan City!
