Hearing this answer, Qing Yangshuo laughed and said, "This is really a smart answer."

"If it's a friend's request, I may not be able to refuse it."

Hearing these words, George felt relieved and his face was filled with gratitude.

"Thank you sir, actually I..."

Qing Yangshuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I haven't finished speaking yet."

George's expression froze.

Qing Yangshuo continued: "But Captain Green and you are my friends."

"You are Britons, not Dragon Flame people."

"You don't even call me you."

Qing Yangshuo put away his smile and said lightly: "George, you know this matter, for me, is both simple and easy, difficult and difficult."

"Even if I reject you, even insult you, and make you my enemy, I won't feel any problem."

"You don't pose any threat to me now."

Captain Green's expression gradually calmed down, Mr. Qing Yangshuo was right.

Even if he refused, there was nothing he could do.

Even if he refused, it would be better for him.

After all, Long Yancheng has to pay a certain price for talking about this kind of thing with Clinxi, and with his current status, he simply cannot afford such a price.

"I see……"

George exhaled and stood up slowly. He still bowed respectfully and said, "Sorry, I'm the one who disturbed you."

After saying this, George turned and left.

When Qing Yangshuo saw this scene, he snorted coldly: "A guy who can't listen to what others say."

George, who was about to step out of the door, pulled back his feet when he heard these words, turned to look at Qing Yangshuo, with a confused look on his face.

Qing Yangshuo looked at him and said lightly: "I can help you."

"But please forget about today's friendship with us, Longyan City."

George was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and his face suddenly lit up. Qing Yangshuo had agreed to his request.

"Mr. Qing Yangshuo, I will never forget the friendship between us."

George thanked him quickly.

Qing Yangshuo waved his hand and said, "In exchange for rescuing Captain Green, I need you to do something for me."

"Sir, please speak."

"No matter what it is, I will help you." George said confidently.

Qing Yangshuo said, "Not now, when I need you, I hope you won't refuse."



At this time, Egypt.

The French colonies in Africa launched several counterattacks in order to compete for the port city of Egypt, but they were resisted by Jiang Xuan every time.

Dick returned to the British colonial area and learned that the battle at the French port had ended and Jiang Xuan won the final victory.

Long Yan's side won, and according to the agreement, Long Yan's side would use this port city as a bargaining chip in exchange for its own mining area.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Dick's face.

In this war, Britain only lost 30,000 people, and it was because of sandstorms.

Without this sandstorm, Dick's losses might have been even smaller.

But when I think about it, I can exchange 30,000 soldiers and two mines that are almost exhausted for two port cities on the Mediterranean coast.

Dick was extremely excited. This was definitely his great political achievement in Egypt.

Britain has wanted to obtain a Mediterranean port for a long time. Through the Mediterranean Sea, it can directly reach the hinterland of the European continent.

Through its naval superiority, it deters France and other countries in the Mediterranean.

But because before, the Suez Canal was occupied by Long Yan.

Other Mediterranean coastal cities were invariably chosen to be occupied by other European countries, giving Britain no chance at all.

But now Long Yan actually cooperates with them.

They even sold two Mediterranean ports at what they considered to be extremely low prices. This was simply a waste of money.

But the more Long Yan is like this, the happier they are.

Dick, who originally didn't have much hope for this war, now heard the news of Long Yan's victory, his eyes were full of greed.

"Prepare the car, let's go find Jiang Xuan and get back our share of the loot."

At this time, Jiang Xuan was organizing construction work in the entire city. The former French Minister of War had surrendered and became Jiang Xuan's subordinate.

Jiang Xuan stood on the city wall, looking at the vast plain outside, his eyes narrowed slightly.

My heart is full of emotions.

A city wall built on such a plain that almost no cannons could destroy was a powerful weapon for defending the enemy.

But it's a pity that he doesn't like this city.

Although a huge price was paid to capture this city, its real purpose was to cut off France's maritime supply lines in Africa.

This makes it impossible for African supplies to be transported to France quickly, thus achieving a containment effect.

Therefore, even in the repair work, Jiang Xuan only made sure that the city would not collapse at a critical moment, and at the very least it must be able to withstand French harassment.

As for the port, Jiang Xuan never intended to leave any usable port to Britain.

Another city has been firmly controlled by Nashadir, and Dick will encounter obstacles everywhere in that city.

But the city, if Britain wanted a port, had to bleed.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan saw a carriage with the British flag hanging on it, driving over.

He smiled slightly, already guessing that this guy Dick would definitely come to ask for the spoils of war.

Soon Dick's carriage entered the city at Jiang Xuan's signal.

Dick and Jiang Xuan met. The two exchanged greetings and did not directly get to the point.

When Jiang Xuan saw this, he was also dragging his feet. Anyway, the initiative was in his hands.

In the end, Dick could no longer remain calm and spoke first: "Jiang Xuan, now that the war is over and you have won, it is time for us to realize what we have between us."

Jiang Xuan looked at Dick with a smile.

"Are your British mines ready?"

Dick also looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile.

"You can take it whenever you need it, we've already prepared it."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said calmly: "The transaction can continue, but I need to know what Britain was doing when we attacked the city, why it was not defended, and why there were French support troops on the battlefield."

Upon hearing the accusation, Dick said calmly: "I didn't want to do this either, but we encountered a sandstorm and all 30,000 of my soldiers were buried."

"It can be said that I am the only one left alive, and I no longer have the ability to stop those French troops."

"And even I narrowly escaped death."

Jiang Xuan sent people to check this matter, and it was not much different from what Dick said, but he still had to ask.

Jiang Xuan sneered.

"We, Long Yan, put nearly 200,000 troops on the battlefield to win this city. Now I can't even sit in my chair, so you come to negotiate a deal with me?"
