Jiang Xuan did not answer this question. This was Long Yan's top secret.
It was Liu Zheng who became the top secret after Long Yan proposed the concept of 'electricity'.
Steam engines will eventually be eliminated. Others may not know this, but Jiang Xuan has always been very aware that in the laboratory far away in Liangzhou, there is the latest steam engine studied by Long Yan, or it should not be called a steam engine.
It should be called - internal combustion engine.
Nashadir was still a little disappointed that he didn't get the news he wanted to know from Jiang Xuan.
But what Jiang Xuan said next made Nashadir feel refreshed.
"Master Liu Zheng said that a giant internal combustion engine manufacturing plant will be built in your territory in the future."
Hearing this, Nashadir was shocked and immediately smiled.
"Then did Mr. Liu Zheng say when he would build a factory here?"
Nashadir asked anxiously.
The Suez Canal is now controlled by Long Yan, but the Suez Canal is also within Nashadir's territory.
Nashadir has seen the future development of shipping, and there are considerable benefits here.
Especially when you see that many European powers such as France and Britain have a territory that is not even as large as a large city in Longyan.
It is by relying on strong shipping and a powerful navy that they have plundered the world and become one great power after another.
Although Nashadir has no intention of becoming a great power now.
But it is still possible to develop transportation by sea and rely on the Suez Canal to achieve this goal.
Nashadir grinned when he thought of this.
"This matter is not urgent. The war is not over yet, and it is too early to build such a large factory."
Nashadir thought for a moment and nodded.
Indeed, building a giant steam engine manufacturing plant also requires manufacturing other related industries.
Although these industries exist in our own territory now, they are not in large numbers and cannot be scaled up.
Thinking of this, Nashadir took a deep breath. There was no need to rush this matter, and he had to figure it out slowly.
Now that he got a positive answer from Jiang Xuan, Nashadir felt much more relieved.
"good."
When the matter came to an end, Jiang Xuan immediately informed Liu Zheng of the successful negotiation.
Now that war with France has officially begun, everything must be prepared.
They are now in a cooperative state with Britain.
Although both sides are reluctant and reluctant, there is nothing they can do.
In the whole of Europe, Britain and Prussia were allies, while other European countries were hostile to them.
Longyan is an ally with Prussia.
It is impossible for Prussia to give up Long Yan, a powerful ally. Although Britain has a slight grudge against Long Yan, these grudges can be temporarily put aside in the face of absolute interests.
Join forces to deal with their biggest enemy at this stage first.
At this moment, Egypt returns to Dick in its colonial area.
"General, why should we agree to Long Yan's shameless request to trade a port city and a steam engine that we barely need in exchange for a city that produces iron ore."
The British people who followed were actually very angry about the outcome of the negotiations.
They don't understand why their side has to give up such huge benefits.
That is the resource of an iron mine. Although it is not as precious as other mineral resources, it is still a mine.
Dick had an angry look on his face the whole way here.
But at this moment, when he returned to his colonial area, he showed a proud smile.
He looked very proud.
"How do you know we lost money on this deal?" Dick asked.
His men, the chief of staff, didn't know why, and in their eyes it was a loss.
Although Long Yan's giant steam engine is powerful, their British steam engine is not bad either. Although this kind of thing is good, it is not as important as an iron mine.
The Chief of Staff is full of confidence in Britain. He believes that Britain can develop a steam engine of this level as long as it studies it enough.
"The iron mine is so close to Cairo and the geographical location is good. This place is a treasure mountain for us."
"We gave it to the Longyan people so easily. This is not to strengthen their power."
This is true.
But it's not entirely true... Dick smiled and said: "Don't worry about what we told him. Let me ask everyone first, who is our enemy now?"
"French people." Everyone said without thinking.
The chief of staff looked puzzled as to what this had to do with the Longyan people.
Dick nodded: "The French have too many colonies in Africa, but the fastest route for them to take shipping is through the Mediterranean. But now France has two port cities in Egypt, one is occupied by Longyan. The other is still In French hands.”
"Since our enemy is France, then why are the enemies of our enemies not friends? Why can't we win over them?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
The chief of staff snorted coldly and said: "That's true, but we have grudges with Long Yan. If France falls in the future, how will we get along with Long Yan?"
"Long Yan has ports in Europe and controls the Suez Canal. These are extremely important strategic locations."
"If we develop in Europe, we may not be able to avoid Long Yan in the future."
Nashadir smiled lightly: "That's why we need Longyan's steam engine."
"With Long Yan's steam engine, I believe that with our British talents we can definitely develop a steam engine that is more powerful than Long Yan's steam engine."
Nashadir looked at the chief of staff looking at his men and asked: "By then, our British navy will be the best in the world, and the dragon flames can't stop it, right?"
The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, his body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly felt that his position was too small.
If you master the technology of Dragon Flame, let alone an iron mine, no one can stop it under the powerful British ships and cannons.
France's overseas colonies have lost their advantage in shipping, and their fate can only be destruction.
When I thought about it, these chiefs of staff understood why Dick could become Britain's talker in Egypt.
And he can only be a chief of staff. The fundamental reason is that his structure is too small.
Not as good as others at all.
After thinking about this, the chief of staff no longer struggled.
Instead, he said: "You still have to stand on the shoulders of giants to see farther and higher."
Dick looked at his chief of staff and nodded, agreeing with his words.
Dick immediately wrote a letter telling Britain of his decision and the cooperation he had reached with Long Yan.
After writing this letter, Dick sighed.
In fact, if possible, he would prefer Britain to be the giant, but unfortunately Britain is not.
Long Yan is now the giant, and the leader of this giant is Liu Zheng.
