Australia, before dawn.
There was deathly silence on Tasmani Island, and no one knew that a conflict had quietly broken out.
After Li He was assassinated, Long Yanjun quickly launched action.
Judging from the assassination soldiers who died at the scene, it is not difficult to distinguish their identities. They are all French immigrants to Australia.
And they also have well-made muskets.
There are only two places on the island where gunpowder can be obtained, and one is the Longyan Army.
One is Drew's place.
Drew's hoarding of black powder was already known throughout the city, and the answer to who the murderer was was almost imminent.
The Longyan Army didn't hesitate at all, and they quickly rushed to Drew's mansion.
But Drew isn't here at all.
Li He looked at the traces at the scene and learned from the call girl who was accompanying Drew just now that Drew was called away in a hurry.
After getting this information, Li He instantly realized something was wrong.
"Quick, everyone is ready to fight, return to their posts immediately, and inform the Australian mainland that we need support!"
Everyone was stunned and had not yet realized what was going on.
There is obviously no war going on, so why should we ask for support from Australia?
They had no idea why they were doing this.
Li He drove them away: "It's too late to explain. You hurry up and inform everyone. The war will break out soon."
Although they didn't know why Li He said this, they all maintained considerable trust in Li He.
Seeing Li He being so anxious, they didn't say anything more.
These people immediately organized their manpower and set off immediately.
Li He took a deep breath. It was not that he was alarmist, but that a series of clues were now connected. Drew must be plotting to rebel and overthrow Xie Fang's regime.
Those who assassinated him were well-trained and equipped with muskets. They were not hired killers at all.
These are definitely elite soldiers trained to perform assassination missions.
Li He once trained with General Qin Changfeng, who at that time formed such a special force.
Each of them is the elite of the elite, dedicated to performing various special tasks.
Obviously those assassins are no different from special forces.
After the gunfire, they immediately chose to retreat without any hesitation, because they knew that if the operation failed, they could not be exposed.
How could a normal assassin have such ability?
If Li He had not been in Qin Changfeng's army and learned how to conduct counter-reconnaissance, he would have known immediately whether these assassins had come to his mansion.
Otherwise, his life would have been lost long ago.
…
After the soldiers of the Long Yan Army rushed back, they immediately reported Li He's guess to the superiors.
But the newly appointed commander of the Dragon Flame Army had long been bribed by Drew.
I didn't take such things to heart at all.
It was even strictly forbidden to discuss such information. They thought it would shake the morale of the army and were immediately arrested by the Longyan soldiers who promoted this information.
Because no one in Long Yanjun paid attention to such information. Those who paid attention to this information were arrested and fired.
This gave Drew enough time to pass General Drew's order to the French soldiers who had been lurking on the island for a long time.
The French soldiers who received the order quickly rallied.
Just before dawn, fighting breaks out.
French soldiers raided key facilities on Tasmania, occupied key transportation routes, and cut off connections between the Longyan Army.
After the military camp was attacked, the generals of the Longyan Army who had been bribed by Drew realized that something was wrong.
But it was too late, war had broken out.
Due to the lack of necessary preparations, the attacked Long Yan Army was completely at a disadvantage.
There are not many Longyan troops stationed on Tasmania, only 50,000 people.
If they had listened to Li He's advice and been prepared before, the current situation would not have happened.
But without if, many of the 50,000 Long Yan Army had no time to participate in the battle and were killed by sudden shells.
The situation has become extremely critical. The newly appointed general Long Yanjun thought of sending a signal to the Australian mainland to request support.
But when the newly appointed Long Yan Army general arrived at the port, he made a sad discovery.
The Yinzhou ships anchored in the port had long been occupied by the French troops, and there was no longer a ship that could allow them to send out messages for help.
At this time, Li He heard the sound of artillery fire. He rushed out and looked at the raging war outside.
Long Yanjun was almost in a one-sided situation.
Li He couldn't help but shed a few tears, but he realized it too late.
He rushed onto the street and looked at the Longyan Army soldiers who died in the battle. It was too late.
The war had broken out, but he realized it too late.
Otherwise, this situation would not have occurred.
Looking at the French troops charging forward, Li He's hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and the death of his brother filled his mind.
At this time, he was already filled with anger. These French soldiers had to pay the price for this!
Li He fiercely wielded his knife and killed the French soldiers.
He wanted revenge on his brother.
…
On the other side, Drew looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled.
Now the entire Tasmani Island is filled with the sounds of battle, the sound of cannons, gunshots, shouts of death...it seems to form the most beautiful music.
Playing the prelude to chaos.
Before dawn the French forces would have complete control of Tasmani.
General Horn looked at the map, and everything was developing as they expected.
"Drew, soon our forces will gain control of this island."
"But our supply lines have not been established, and now we need more time to improve our defenses."
"Remember, you have to fight for forty-eight hours. Before that, if Australia sends troops, we will be difficult to resist."
"I have already passed our action plan to France, and I believe they will receive the information soon."
Horn turned around, looked at Drew, and said in a deep voice: "Drew, it's time for you to take action."
Drew raised his wine glass. The bright red wine was particularly bright under the candlelight.
"Here's to our eventual victory!"
"Here's to our eventual victory!"
The two drank the red wine in their glasses.
Drew put down his glass, glanced at Horn, and put on his hat.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone, and there was only one ship on the route to Australia. Drew looked at the Australian continent in the distance on the deck and smiled.
There are Long Yan's advanced factories on this continent, as well as laboratories that can rival Long Yan.
But it will all belong to France.
This day will come soon.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Drew's mouth.
