More than half a month has passed, and no one knows where the British army is. Even Dick, the British talker, has not discussed countermeasures with Nashadir.
How to attack French port cities.
Nashadir reported the incident to Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Xuan's reply to him was:
People with big fists speak the truth. We Longyan people have an old saying, 'To convince people with reason', you can understand it yourself.
Nashadir understood instantly after seeing the first two words.
Nashadir sneered, but did not expose Dick's crude lie.
The basic condition for Britain and Long Yan to cooperate is to jointly attack France.
"Hopefully the British army will show up when it's time for him to show up."
Nashadir looked at Dick's face calmly and said calmly: "The Dragon Flame Army can appear anywhere he wants, such as...here."
Nashadir reached out and clicked on a random location on the map.
Dick's face instantly turned pale, and he stared at Nashadir.
Nashadir ignored him and turned around to leave the city lord's palace.
After Nashadir left, Dick slammed his fist on the table, his expression gloomy and scary.
Just now, he, a British media person in Egypt, was threatened by a dog raised by Long Yan!
Dick looked at the map, where Nashadir's finger landed, and exhaled heavily, his eyes becoming timid.
That location was his administrative region in Egypt.
It's Dick's home base.
Nashadir's threat to him was very simple and clear, he was telling him clearly.
If you don't cooperate, we can send troops from Cairo down the Nile River to attack your city.
It only took Dick a few seconds to be very sure that Long Yan now had the full ability to go south and attack his base camp.
Nashadir is a bastard who can talk the talk and act it out!
Jiang Xuan must have given instructions for this matter.
Britain currently does not have enough troops in Egypt. Due to the confrontation with France, most of their troops are placed at sea.
Dick sighed. This was one of the reasons why he delayed sending troops.
Dick wanted to watch Long Yan and France fight so that they could reap the benefits.
Although he had reached a cooperation agreement with Long Yan, he had no intention of contributing.
Dick calmed down and planned to continue dragging it out. Even if Long Yan wanted to go to war with him, they would be severely damaged.
However, he still had to make a show of it, at least he had to get hold of Long Yan's steam engine first and then break up with them.
Dick thought for a while and wrote on the envelope: Send 30,000 troops to prepare to take over the port...
…
On the other side of Egypt, Sashar, who was being targeted, had not received any news about the Long Yan Army.
But as a French talker, he always had a hunch that he was being targeted.
"What's going on with Long Yan and the Britons recently?"
Sashar's counselor reported: "Since we concentrated most of our forces in this city, we have never heard from them again."
"Britain is at war with us at sea. Although we have always been at a disadvantage in the war at sea, we have always been strong on land."
"Britain's strength in Egypt does not permit them to wage war against us."
"As for Long Yan, although they have this strength, if the current Long Yan army launches an attack on us, they will definitely use all their strength."
"Then they have no way of protecting the British army."
"Cairo is now in the hands of Long Yan. Although it is flying the British flag, it belongs to Long Yan on the surface. If a war really starts, Cairo and the Suez Canal will be short of troops."
"At that time, Britain could not be tempted. They had been coveting the Suez Canal for a long time."
Sashar nodded after hearing his counselor's analysis, feeling that what he said made sense.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at the counselor who was confident that the Long Yan Army would not attack, and asked a question.
"But what if Long Yan and Britain unite?"
"Because of Prussia, Britain and Long Yan were forced to become allies."
"Although there is deep hatred between the two countries, it is not impossible for the two sides to unite in Egypt for the common interests."
Upon hearing this, the counselor fell into deep thought.
This was something he didn't expect. He determined from the bottom of his heart that Long Yan and Britain would not attack, and did not consider the possibility of them forming an alliance.
After all, not long ago, Long Yan backhanded Dick.
And Dick was speechless and had nothing to say.
"What the general said does not make sense, but according to our intelligence now, the two sides have not made any moves to form an alliance."
"Yes." Sachar thought for a moment and immediately said: "This is France's last window to Africa. We must not make any mistakes."
"Strengthen the latest defenses to prevent sneak attacks by Long Yan or the Britons."
"yes!"
After Sachar gave the order, he looked at the entire African map and realized that France had too many colonies in Africa.
And it's extremely large.
However, the rich resources in these colonies can only be transported by water if they want to support them back to the mainland.
There are many ports in Africa, but none of them are as important as the port in Egypt.
Because this port has direct access to the Mediterranean, supplies can be transported to mainland France in the shortest time.
It's not like Sashar has never thought about taking back the port city occupied by Long Yan.
It's just that the risk is relatively high. At that time, Sashar attacked Cairo and lost most of his troops in that battle.
The British also lost too many troops.
Otherwise, Long Yanren would not have been able to make two sneak attacks and be successful both times.
Sashar sighed, now they had lost the possibility of occupation. Although their army had received assistance, it seemed to be huge in number.
But Sashar is very clear about the strength level of these aid troops. Most of them are local Egyptian troops. These troops do not have much actual combat experience, and their armaments are still stuck in the last century because of the constant depletion of the Egyptian royal family and nobles.
There are no new muskets.
The degree of corruption in the army has reached the point where Sashar's scalp feels numb.
To put it simply, if we expect these local Egyptian troops to fight, it is better to pray to the Lord for miracles and divine punishment to punish all the enemies of France.
Sashar is very worried about the current situation. The strongest force now is the Longyan people.
France looks very strong now, but in fact it is already strong on the outside and weak on the inside. If Longyan and the British join forces to attack.
There is a good chance that the port city will not be able to hold on.
Thinking of this, Sashar sighed. Both Longyan and Britain were changed by the industrial revolution.
It is said that the king of their country is no longer the one who holds the power. Policies are discussed by ministers, the results are determined by voting, and finally implemented.
