"Half done, what do you mean?"
When Richard heard this, he showed confusion.
Fang Dalong nodded: "There are other difficulties to achieve this. After all, money is not everything. There are also transportation and connections that need to be smoothed out."
"After all, the two of us escaped from Longyan City, although people in Longyan City now think that we came out to do business."
"But after being away for so long, I started doing arms business when I got back, and it's still difficult to do it in large quantities."
Richard frowned slightly, he understood the truth.
But now it is imminent. Although I don't know why Britain has not launched a second wave of attacks until now, Richard always feels that there is a conspiracy.
Britain now has weapons of this level, with extremely long range and great power.
If they were to launch an attack, Britain would occupy two French positions, which would threaten France's current situation.
The gold mine may not be saved.
It is now late autumn. If Britain gains two positions at this time, it will be difficult for them to attack if they form a cornering force.
France will never see this scene. If Britain only has one position in hand after winter, then France will rely on the Indians in their army to use their best jungle hunting skills.
You can definitely kill the Britons after winter comes and completely take the gold mine into your own hands.
Richard frowned and looked at Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, and asked, "The problem can be solved. Tell me, can these problems be solved?"
"Let the two of us discuss this for a while."
Fang Dalong and Wan Shang discussed quietly for a long time.
Richard's patience was worn away little by little, but he didn't lose his temper. He just kept tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
The two Longyan people in front of them still have uses and cannot be killed directly.
An hour passed quickly.
When Richard's patience was about to be worn away, the knocking sound became more and more urgent.
If this could kill people, Fang Dalong and Wan Shang would have been killed hundreds of times.
"How's it going?" Richard's tone was full of impatience.
There was no longer the gentleness of Corporal Li Xian before, his face was expressionless at the moment.
Fang Dalong quickly said: "There is a way to get cannonballs from Long Yan."
Richard's eyes lit up.
Fang Dalong continued: "But you can't do too much each time, otherwise you will be suspicious."
This was the result of a long-day pretentious discussion between him and Wan Shang. In fact, the two of them had already planned this matter.
Things like Dragon Flame Cannonballs could only be sold to the French in small quantities and could not be supplied in unlimited quantities.
According to Qing Yangshuo's wishes, he wanted to maintain the balance between the French and the British.
Let both countries see victory, but both of them are far away from victory.
Only in this way can Long Yan develop better in America, and even be able to do one thing and make two kinds of money.
Richard frowned after hearing this.
It can only be limited, which makes him very unhappy, but there is nothing he can do about it.
According to their French research, this dragon flame is very useful in this kind of jungle, even too useful.
It only takes two doors to completely turn the tide of the battle.
A fort that can move at high speed in the mountains and forests may not be invincible.
Theoretically, when fighting in mountains and forests, the terrain is complicated and mostly consists of mountain roads, and the mountains and forests obstruct the view. Although artillery, a war machine that is difficult to transport, has strong lethality.
However, due to lack of accuracy and long range, they completely lost their value in the mountains and forests.
But the Dragon Flame Cannon is different. Their sizes and materials are different. This kind of fort only requires the combined efforts of two people to lift it.
Moreover, the two people carrying the dragon flame cannon can move in the jungle at will, and they can fire one cannon and then fire another cannon in another place.
Make the enemy hard to defend.
The only problem now is that such a dragon flame cannon cannot exert its true power due to the lack of special shells.
Richard looked at Wan Shang and Fang Dalong and asked, "How many dragon flame shells are there at most in each transaction?"
Fang Dalong thought for a while and said: "Ten at most, any more will make people suspicious."
"Ten..." Richard murmured.
Ten pieces are simply not enough for a battle.
Ten cannonballs would probably be completely destroyed in less than ten minutes.
Richard stared at Fang Dalong, frowned and asked, "Can't there be more?"
Fang Dalong shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that we don't want to make more deals."
"It's that the channels are restricted, and this is not a time of peace, and there are too many unrest in America."
"What's more, as far as I know, there is no arsenal in Longyan City now, which means that the shells in the club are all transported from Longyan."
"Long Yancheng must be extremely vigilant against such a reserve of arms."
"Ten really can't be more."
Fang Dalong sighed and said.
Richard made a dull sound and thought for a moment.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept the ten dragon flame shells Fang Dalong said.
"Then go and get ten dragon flame cannonballs."
Fang Dalong from Wanshang took the order, but did not leave. Instead, he was still in Richard's office.
Richard looked at the two of them doubtfully and asked, "Why don't you two leave?"
Fang Dalong smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you also know that the two of us don't have much money now."
"We really don't have the money to pay for ten Dragon Flame shells in advance, so you see..." Fang Dalong looked at Richard and begged for it with a very thick skin.
Richard glanced at the two men indifferently, and the atmosphere became tense.
Finally, under the gaze of Fang Dalong and Wan Shang, Richard reluctantly took out a piece of paper, looked at them and asked: "How much do you want?"
Fang Dalong chuckled and said: "Not much, one cannonball and ten gold coins."
"It's only ten gold coins. It's really not..." When the words came to his mouth, Richard was stunned and suddenly realized something was wrong.
He looked up at the smiling Fang Dalong, and his voice rose several syllables: "How much do you want!"
Fang Dalong raised ten fingers and said with a smile: "Ten gold coins."
"You are stealing money!"
Richard screamed!
Fang Dalong scratched his cheek and smiled awkwardly, but there was a look of embarrassment on his brows: "Sir, it's not that I deliberately raised the price, but there are some links that need to be cleared."
"After all, what we want is the shells of Longyan's highest-tech artillery. This price is already the cheapest solution we can think of now."
"Others may not have this opportunity yet."
Fang Dalong blinked and said, in fact, the production cost of Long Yan cannonball was less than fifty copper coins.
You can get ten cannonballs from Long Yan without even paying a penny.
But France’s wool must be gathered when it needs to be.
After listening to Fang Dalong's words, Richard thought that all this was for that gold mine with a high gold content, so he said feebly: "Okay..."
