No matter who is directing the war in France now, Qing Yangshuo must ensure that they will not threaten Longyan City.
This matter needs to be investigated, and this person needs to investigate.
Prepare for a rainy day!
Regardless of France's current attitude, this matter must be investigated.
This is what Qing Yangshuo must do.
At this moment, a person Qing Yangshuo was very familiar with came over.
Qing Yangshuo looked at him and said nothing.
He gave a slight salute and said proactively: "Sir, now that the battle between Britain and France has broken out, we in Longyan City must make a decision."
"Yeah, not bad." Qing Yangshuo nodded.
He looked at the person who spoke, it was Wan Shang, Qing Yangshuo said in a deep voice: "You are right, now we must make a decision."
"What's the attitude like from Richard's side?"
"He asked me to check Long Yancheng's attitude. He does not want Long Yancheng to participate in the war. He hopes that Long Yancheng can continue to remain neutral."
Hearing this, Qing Yangshuo laughed.
"Richard is very ambitious. If he really thinks so, that's fine, but if not, our situation will be very dangerous."
Wan Shang nodded, indeed.
"Now Qin Changfeng is launching an Indian uprising in France. Although the war has ended, this matter is not over yet. It can even be said that it has just begun."
"Most of France's large territories are made up of Indians. Now that there is such a big news, Richard is busy dealing with the aftermath."
"Plus facing the British attack."
"These two things alone make Richard too busy to spare any time."
"Of course he wants to stabilize us, it's just a delaying tactic."
"As long as one of these two things comes to a conclusion, just wait and see, Richard will definitely target our Longyan City."
Qingyang Shuo said coldly.
France also has deep conflicts with Long Yancheng, especially in America.
Long Yan had publicly stated before that he would never support France, and even cut off France's shipping routes, making France a turtle in the urn in America.
Supplies could not be shipped out, and they could not contact mainland Europe, which greatly affected the struggle between France and Britain for maritime hegemony.
After that, Longyan City had various open arms and equipment transactions with Britain.
Directly affected the battle between Britain and France.
France had already occupied the gold mine, but with the support of Long Yan's weapons and equipment.
Britain has a great advantage in the competition for gold mines, and these two things alone are enough to make France resentful.
Not to mention other things.
Although there is a saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
This sentence is true, but there is no interest exchange between Long Yancheng and France. It can even be said that the existence of the other party hinders its own interests.
It is absolutely impossible for France to shake hands with Long Yancheng and make peace now.
Whether it was because he was afraid that Wan Shang would come to inquire about the news, or he took the initiative to send an envoy to express his goodwill.
This is not enough for the so-called delaying strategy, as long as the other party frees up his hands.
Then what awaits Longyan City is the French offensive.
Long Yancheng must not sit still and wait for death, but it will not take the initiative to provoke a war.
At least for now, Longyan City must show its neutral status.
Qing Yangshuo sighed: "Richard, if you want to stabilize him, you can tell him that we can talk about our weapons and equipment."
Wan Shang understood why Qing Yangshuo did this.
It is also a delaying tactic.
He and Fang Dalong had been doing weapons and equipment business with France, but they were doing it behind the scenes.
Now they've made it clear.
In fact, he is telling Britain and France that he maintains absolute neutrality.
This may cause dissatisfaction in Britain, but as long as Long Yancheng does not admit it, Britain will not be able to catch anything.
"Without further delay, you start now. First, stabilize Richard and make him think that there is no threat to Longyan City now."
"Okay!" Wan Shang nodded and set off immediately.
Before the Indian war broke out, Wan Shang came to Longyan City to inquire about information.
It's been long enough and he should hurry back now.
If something changes later, Richard must not be allowed to free his hands and threaten Long Yan.
Wan Shang set off immediately.
Qing Yangshuo did not see Wan Shang off, but watched Wan Shang leave the city silently.
He did not give Wan Shang the task of investigating the general. This was not because he did not trust Wan Shang.
But for their own safety, their current identities are Longyan merchants who defected to France because they helped Richard with intelligence.
That's why he became a popular person around Richard. This is his status.
With such an identity, if you want to investigate the French border defense general.
Investigating this French military genius is simply seeking death!
This increases the likelihood of identity exposure.
If their identities are exposed, the series of reactions that will follow will be the most terrifying.
It's not that Qing Yangshuo doesn't trust Wan Shang and Fang Dalong's loyalty.
However, why choose the most difficult path when there are obviously better options.
So Qing Yangshuo sent out other people to find out the news.
The matter about France comes to an end first, and the next thing to do is the defense of Longyan City and the retreat route.
These things require the help of another person.
Qin Changfeng’s help!
However, since the Indian uprising and Qin Changfeng led the Indians to fight out of the French colonial area, there has been no news about Qin Changfeng.
This made Qing Yangshuo a little worried.
After all, Qin Changfeng led a force that had just been established.
The organization, strength, and management system of the army are not yet perfect.
They are just troops with a certain combat effectiveness, even if Qin Changfeng has trained and commanded countless soldiers.
Such a force is also a very big challenge.
At least Qing Yangshuo has never heard of any general who commanded such an army without any problems.
But at this time, Qing Yangshuo received a letter from Yuncheng.
I saw this letter and the signature on it.
Posted by Qin Changfeng.
Qing Yangshuo was stunned. Just now, he was thinking about Qin Changfeng's current situation and why he hadn't contacted him yet. He didn't expect that he would receive Qin Changfeng's letter so soon.
Qing Yangshuo tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
Looking at the content above, I was even more surprised.
Unexpectedly, Qin Changfeng could bring such a force back to Yuncheng. This was simply a miracle.
Qing Yangshuo felt relieved after seeing Qin Changfeng's letter.
In the letter, Qin Changfeng said that repairs would be done in Yuncheng for the time being, and after the Indians were settled, he would return to Longyan City.
Qing Yangshuo closed the envelope. I'm afraid there won't be that much time for Qin Changfeng to make repairs in Yuncheng.
He picked up the pen and wrote on the letter paper...
