At this time, Europe.
Hannover.
Their battle with the Holy Crusaders has turned into a war of attrition.
However, the supply line of the Holy Crusaders has been cut off by the Long Yan Army's cavalry squad. This war of attrition has been very difficult for the Holy Crusaders.
But Ling Chen's Long Yan Army gradually reversed the situation in the face of adversity.
Except for military facilities and weapons and equipment, Longyan Army has not been replenished, but other aspects have been replenished accordingly.
At least they get the supplementary items they should have in terms of food and grass.
Ling Chen attempted to trap these Holy Crusaders in the city of Hanover.
However, as Europe enters a truce period, peers in all aspects have relaxed.
With the addition of Italy's participation in the war, although Ling Chen was able to block the supply line of the Holy Crusaders, there was no way to prevent everyone from going to Hanover to do business.
The Holy Crusaders are entrenched on the pass into Hanover, and many merchants need to pass through here.
This war of attrition is self-defeating given the economic situation.
There are many merchants who provide help to the Holy Crusaders on the basis of doing business.
In the Longyan military camp.
The chief of staff said anxiously: "General, if this continues, our battle with the Holy Crusaders will become endless. This is completely unacceptable to us."
"A protracted war is not beneficial to us. The Holy Crusaders will use a small force to contain us."
Ling Chen looked at the map and saw that the chief of staff was right.
They should do something to reverse the current decline on the battlefield.
The whole of Europe is in a period of truce and vigorous economic development, and Hanover is no exception.
Now Prussia and Hanover need this period of time to recuperate, and the Longyan Army needs this period of time to prepare its strength.
Although the current Longyan Army has been replenished with food and grass, it is still lacking in armaments, and those Prussian armaments factories must be operational.
Only in this way can their Longyan Army be replenished with military equipment, and the following battle can continue.
Ling Chen said in a deep voice: "Master Liu Zheng has occupied Saxony, and our situation should improve soon."
"The Holy Crusaders will give us this time, will we wait until then?" the chief of staff said, looking at Ling Chen.
"Tingshou Yi Country also participated in the war, and they also reinforced the Holy Crusaders."
"The entire Habsburg-controlled country waged war against us and Prussia."
"Although this is a time of peace, it may not last long. General, we must regain control of Hanover."
“This is how we can stabilize the development in the rear.”
Ling Chen was not unaware of this, he said: "We can no longer let the enemy lead us by the nose."
"Send me an order to arrange for merchants to enter the Holy Crusaders' station to do business."
The chief of staff was stunned. He didn't quite understand what Ling Chen meant. Why would they let their people go to the Holy Crusaders' base to do business?
Ling Chen added: "Since the Holy Crusaders themselves have opened the door for businessmen to enter, we will do it as a favor."
"Arrange our troops to go in, do you understand what I mean, Chief of Staff?"
Ling Chen glanced at the chief of staff.
The chief of staff immediately understood. Ling Chen took advantage of the opportunity for the Holy Crusaders to replenish supplies and inserted the Longyan troops to destroy the Holy Crusaders from within.
What a great move!
"I understand General, I will arrange the manpower now."
…
At this time, on the French island of Corsica.
Bonaparte and Salz each went his own way.
Bonaparte went to France to study at the Army School.
Not everyone can get into the Army School. It also requires a little bit of aristocratic connections. This is an aristocratic school.
Bonaparte's father Carlo was a veritable nobleman of France, so Bonaparte was able to enter this school to study.
Bonaparte showed great interest in all kinds of combat knowledge taught in the school.
It's all so much fun.
However, the school was very unfriendly to such a 'left-hander' who came all the way from France's overseas colonies.
He is often called a left-handed dwarf.
Bonaparte did not take this kind of bullying seriously. He had understood this truth since he was a child.
To gain respect from others, you must be stronger than that person.
Now Bonaparte looks like a dwarf who can only use his left hand. There is nothing powerful about him, and there is nothing about him that makes people respect him.
So he didn't take the insult too seriously.
…
Iceland.
A large island in the North Atlantic Ocean.
After Jones arrived on the island, he was in a numb state for several days.
Although this island is large and can be used for farming, it is not an uninhabited desert island. Yes, there are people living on it.
Jones discovered them and was naturally discovered by them.
These indigenous residents are not at all polite to outsiders.
Jones was tied up on the spot and said to be sacrificed to their gods.
Jones couldn't understand their language, but he knew what would happen when he saw such a posture, especially the expressions of these natives when they saw themselves being carried to the altar.
That's what they call excitement.
But fortunately, Jones, a pirate, has also seen the world.
After he performed some miraculous magic for these indigenous people, they successfully believed that he was a messenger sent by God.
This group of natives had no doubt about the miracles performed by Jones.
It can even be said to be extremely trusting.
So he was released. After a period of research, Jones finally figured out the indigenous languages.
After becoming an angel, Jones got a life like a king.
A life where someone warms the bed when you sleep, and feeds you when you are hungry.
But Jones is still not satisfied with the status quo. Although he got a big island like this, the standard of living on this island is too low.
Those women don't like to take baths, no matter how beautiful they are, they still stink.
As a pursuing pirate, this was something he couldn't bear.
Moreover, the development here is very backward. The residents on the island have always relied on hunting and farming to make a living.
No money, no dreams, a life of nothing.
Jones still misses life on the European continent a little, although those women in the Red Theater are bitches that are loved by thousands of people.
But at least it doesn't stink, and the clothes look good.
Jones thought about the land on Iceland and the living conditions on the island, and what he should do as an envoy, just like others colonizing America and Africa, and gaining a lot of wealth.
He thought of two ways. One was to trick the people on the island into becoming slaves in America, just like in Africa.
He comes to earn a commission.
But such an idea was rejected as soon as it came up. There were too few people on the island, and he also needed a cargo ship.
He doesn't have a boat.
Then there is only one way left, which is to let the people on the island grow cotton and food.
Building a factory would cost too much money. Jones didn't have it. The situation on the island didn't know how to build and use a factory. Only growing cotton was more reliable.
Now is the wave of the Industrial Revolution. I heard that now that there is no war in Europe, cotton cultivation should have good development.
