At this time, America.
French colonial area.
After Wan Shang exchanged views with Fang Dalong again, Wan Shang went to see Richard.
Richard met with Wan Shang in his office.
"Brother Wan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you anymore." Richard chuckled.
"Dear Mr. Richard, please forgive me for being away for so long." Wan Shang saluted.
Wan Shang knew about the Indian uprising in France, and he also knew that Richard almost lost his life in the uprising, but if Richard didn't mention it, he would never say another word.
He, a Long Yan man who had just returned, knew too much information at this time.
Easily arouse suspicion in others.
"Okay, okay, these are all small things. How did things go this time?" Richard got to the point.
Wan Shang straightened his expression and said, "I met Mr. Qing Yangshuo, the lord of Longyan City."
"His meaning is very clear. Longyan City remains neutral and will not participate in the battle between France and Britain."
Richard nodded, looked at Wan Shang and smiled: "Longyan City currently has a military transaction with Britain. If they do not participate, then Longyan City should stop their transaction with Britain."
Wan Shang added: "Qing Yangshuo also gave me an answer about this matter, according to his statement."
"Long Yancheng will not stop trading with Britain, but it will also make deals with France."
"They also guaranteed that whatever Britain can get from Longyan City, France can also get from Longyan City, but such transaction information cannot be operated openly by Longyan City. He also said, Mr. Richard, will you Understood.”
After listening, Richard laughed.
"It's a good plan to take advantage of both sides."
"The Lord of Longyan City is very powerful."
Wan Shang echoed: "That's true."
Richard said calmly: "Okay, Brother Wan has been tired of traveling and traveling these past few days, so let's get down first."
Upon hearing these words, Wan Shang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible look, his face was startled, and he bowed and left.
"Thank you Mr. Richard, I'll take my leave now."
After Wan Shang left, Richard paced back and forth in the room alone, looking at the map hanging on the wall from time to time.
Staring at the location of Longyan City.
This position is too critical. If they can win this position, France can attack and retreat.
It is a very important place to attack the British colonization.
Also, the technological level of Longyan City is obvious to everyone.
France's technological level is not as good as Long Yan's, or even as good as Britain's. Richard has heard that Britain and Long Yan have opened a military factory together.
Specialized in the production of weapons.
If they could take possession of Long Yanjun's weapon manufacturing factory, their French weapon manufacturing level would rise to more than one level.
But if there is a war with Longyan City now, it means that France is fighting two major forces at the same time.
The price they need to bear will be very expensive.
Richard looked at the location of Longyan City on the map and pondered for a long time.
I thought about it again and again.
Finally, he picked up the red dart on the table and hit it on the map.
The location of the dart is Longyan City!
…
After Wan Shang left Richard's office, he left there immediately without making any further stop.
Richard's attitude just now made Wan Shang aware that something was wrong.
He immediately took a carriage to the hospital where Fang Dalong was recovering.
Fang Dalong was about to change the dressing, but when he saw his doctor, he was slightly startled.
Fang Dalong quickly regained his previous expression and said, "Doctor, when will my illness be cured?"
Wan Shang said: "It won't get better for the time being, and it may even get worse."
"Anyway, just stay here and recuperate for a few days."
After saying that, Wan Shang patted his shoulder and left in a hurry.
After hearing what Wan Shang said, Fang Dalong's heart skipped a beat.
What these words mean is that the current situation has changed, but we are just thinking about the bad changes.
Fang Dalong's eyes darkened. Wan Shang went to report to Richard on the situation in Longyan City today.
It seems that something unexpected happened.
After thinking of this, Fang Dalong's heart sank.
Long Yancheng had to be notified immediately. He looked at the Chinese medicine doctor who came over and said, "I need you to do me a favor."
…
At this time, on the other side of America.
Longyan City.
The trap garrison arranged by Qin Changfeng was not completed.
This kind of defensive arrangement is inherently an extremely time-consuming matter.
Moreover, Qin Changfeng is currently busy not only with the deployment of Longyan City's defensive forces, but also with the arsenals near Longyan City.
These are the foundation of Longyan City's establishment in America.
As the city lord of Longyan City, Qing Yangshuo was not idle either.
Qin Changfeng is responsible for military affairs.
Qing Yangshuo is responsible for economics and logistics.
War is a war of attrition. If the two are evenly matched, it depends on who has more money.
However, if Longyan City is besieged, no matter how much money they have, it will be of no use. What they need is food.
Qing Yangshuo crazily stocked grain in Longyan City and built many granaries.
Not only that, Qingyang Shuodi also ordered people to open up land in the surrounding areas of Longyan City specifically for growing food and vegetables.
At this moment, Longyan City was transformed into several areas by Qing Yangshuo.
Grain and vegetable cultivation is one area, and livestock breeding is another area.
These were originally supposed to be industries outside the city.
But now they have been moved to the city by Qing Yangshuo.
Normally, these things don't seem to be valuable things, but if Longyan City is once besieged, these things are the most basic guarantee.
Qing Yangshuo must ensure that there is no chaos in Longyan City.
Longyan City has few troops and is surrounded by unsupported troops, so they can only spend their time defending the city.
So Qing Yangshuo is ready for a protracted war.
At the same time, Qing Yangshuo also informed Yuncheng to be prepared.
If the defense of Longyan City fails, then they can only evacuate to Yuncheng.
As long as the construction of the Panama Canal is completed, no matter how chaotic the war situation in North America is at that time, Long Yan will have a chance to fight back to Long Yan City.
Longyan City can be lost now, but Yuncheng must not be lost.
As for Long Yan's third city, it is still under construction. Although he has high hopes from Qing Yangshuo, the war will come early.
This city cannot play a big role because it is too far away from Longyan City and Yuncheng.
But Qing Yangshuo still left a spark of fire there.
But that's the worst-case scenario.
Just when Qing Yangshuo was busy preparing everything, he received a crucial message!
