Occupying Prague is beneficial to Liu Zheng in every aspect.
But for Theresa, this was the ultimate blasphemy.
The refugees in Prague will also erupt again, and the entire Austria will fall into greater chaos.
If Prague is not captured, the Longyan Army will have to maintain their rear security and attack Saxony, which will be a very difficult thing for them.
But it’s not something that can’t be done.
War is for profit.
but……
"Write a letter to Li Hongtian and ask him to negotiate with Vienna. We want to establish a train transportation route!"
Liu Zheng said indifferently.
"yes!"
The cost of doing this will consume a lot of Long Yan's financial resources, but it is also the only way to stabilize the retreat route of Long Yan's army without attacking Prague.
Although doing so is helping Austria's development.
But Liu Zheng didn't care.
A truly powerful country cannot become strong by relying on one or two railway transportation lines.
A truly powerful country must at least have military force, financial resources, and culture.
All three aspects can be powerful.
Force can ensure that the country will not be invaded by powerful enemies.
Financial resources can ensure the normal operation of the country and allow people to live a good life.
Culture can make people more cohesive.
Liu Zheng's order was quickly issued. The plan to attack Saxony will begin after Li Hongtian has negotiated the cooperation project.
Now in Long Yan's factory, all components are produced in a system.
What is produced are components.
It's not like Britain or other European countries, where all production processes are handled in one factory.
This production time is too long and too wasteful.
Moreover, the quality of components is difficult to guarantee.
Now Long Yan's industrial system is becoming more and more perfect.
Every factory produces components, and there are ways to directly guarantee quality control.
From the start of production to the completion of a steam engine, it may require the cooperation of hundreds of factories.
The manufacturers that produce steam engines only need to hand over the corresponding drawings to the source manufacturers and let them produce according to their own needs.
In this way, the production of all parts will greatly reduce time costs.
For Long Yan, it currently takes no more than two weeks to produce a steam engine from ore smelting to assembly on a steam ship.
In Britain, which is known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, the time cost of producing a steam engine now takes at least half a year.
And it takes longer to polish.
But from this point of view, there is no way they can compare with Long Yan.
It doesn't take much time to transport the rails from Long Yan to assemble them into a railway.
The longest time wasted on it is the construction of roads.
After Li Hongtian's project is negotiated, it will be enough time to build the railway tracks.
Liu Zheng looked at the map and quietly waited for the news that Li Hongtian had returned from negotiations.
…
At this time, Egypt.
Nashadir is leading Marina to Sogra's home.
Sugra is a well-known local tribal chief. If he can be persuaded to resist France, it will be of great help to complete his mission and disintegrate the French colonial area.
Marina brought Nashadir to a building with an extremely strong religious style.
His appearance is like a tower-like combination.
Although it has a strong religious overtone, no one comes out of Nashadir at all. This building is in the style of that sect.
However, the sectarian style in Africa is always very strange, and Nashadir did not pay too much attention to such issues.
Marina said to the guard at the door: "I am Marina from the Ebia family. Please ask Sugra for instructions. I will visit him."
The guard glanced at Marina, looking at the gold hidden on her body, and then watched Marina take out a golden badge.
Engraved on it is the totem about Marina's family.
"Please give it to Sugra and he will confirm our identity."
Seeing the badge and the pattern on it, the guard looked at the two people. The mistress of their family also had the same pattern on her hand.
They are all patterns like this.
Thinking of this, the guard immediately went in to report.
Soon, Marina saw a very friendly face coming out of the castle, it was her sister, Alina.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"come on in."
Alina opened the door herself and went out to greet her. When she saw her biological sister, her face was filled with smiles.
The same goes for Marina. She and Alina are biological sisters and have a very good relationship.
It's just that after Alina married far away, the contact between the two sisters became much less.
Marina followed her sister into Socra's castle.
Nashadir also followed in, and it was at this moment that Alina noticed the tall man behind Marina with an unusual temperament.
This man has a fierce aura just standing here.
It was chilling and frightening. Alina wanted to feel like this now. She thought to Marina and said secretly: "Who is that person behind you? It doesn't look like the guards of our family."
Hearing this question, Marina glanced at Nashadir secretly.
Marina found it funny that her sister actually regarded Lord Nashadir as her bodyguard.
Strictly speaking, she can be regarded as Nashadir's mistress. Nashadir can become her husband, which is a luxury for her.
Also guard.
What kind of person can be worthy of such a guard?
Marina did not dare to answer, but quietly glanced at Nashadir, who had a stern face.
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Nashadir's magnetic voice.
Nashadir said calmly: "Marina and I are my fiancées. Dear sister Elena, I came in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts this time. I'm sorry."
Upon hearing this, Marina's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Nashadir in disbelief.
No, fiancée!
For her, this is simply a luxury!
Although he knew that what Nashadir said was false, it was just a way to deceive his sister's trust.
But even if it was fake, Marina felt extremely happy.
Marina took advantage of the situation and took Nashadir's arm, and said very shyly: "Sister, I forgot to introduce you."
"He is my husband."
Facing such news, Alina's face was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but wonder how this man conquered her sister.
She knew very well that her younger sister had higher eyes than the top.
Their family is a big local family with countless wealth and power.
This also developed her sister's judgment, and she looked down on ordinary men.
But this man who looked like a guard was actually able to conquer his sister.
It's incredible.
