After the fall of Tasmania, Long Yan's army was cut off from supplies by the French army.
Many important supplies have been cut off by the French army, especially food and grass.
After Li He became the temporary commander of the Long Yan Army, he began to solve the food problem of the Long Yan Army.
Finally, after careful consideration, the goal was determined.
This is the factory in front of me, a flour-producing factory on Tasmania.
Li He looked through the telescope and saw that there were not many French soldiers guarding the flour factory, only a few hundred.
"The commander has conducted an investigation. In the dark and in the open, the French army has arranged a total of three hundred troops here, equipped with muskets, no cavalry, and no artillery."
"With such a defensive force, we can definitely take down this flour mill."
Li He made an estimate in his mind and nodded, but he did not agree whether to take action.
There is no problem with such flour mill action.
However, in the face of such important strategic materials, the French army only arranged for 300 people to defend, which was very unreasonable.
Flour has many uses and can even increase the power of bombs.
Li He wondered if France was hiding in the dark and using this flour mill to attract them to attack.
Li He said in a deep voice: "Give me my order, don't act yet, be careful of fraud."
He looked at the flour mill with a telescope, but there were too many obstacles blocking his view and he couldn't clearly see the situation inside. However, he couldn't continue to spend time here, which would increase the risk of exposing his position.
Li He said in a deep voice: "Use a musket to test the situation from the southeast. If there is no ambush, do it tonight, and the others will retreat temporarily."
A team of Longyan troops was sent out and two shots were fired in the southeast direction of the flour mill.
Successfully attracted the attention of French soldiers at the flour mill.
But the French soldiers came out looking for him, but there were no traces.
In this way, the French soldiers who found no one returned to the flour mill.
Other than that, nothing unusual happened.
After repeated confirmations, Li He issued an order to take action.
That night, Li He led 200 people to launch an operation.
Li He led the Long Yan Army into the flour mill and quietly killed the French soldiers.
The three hundred French soldiers inside the flour mill soon noticed an intruder.
Suddenly, gunfire broke out.
The entire flour mill fell into chaotic fighting.
However, this sneak attack by Long Yanjun was very successful.
In fact, when the French army discovered that someone was invading, most of the guarding French troops had already been killed by the Longyan Army.
Only a small group of people were left who were not killed by the Long Yan Army.
Moreover, Long Yanjun was very familiar with the terrain of this flour mill and knew where the key locations were that needed to be quickly controlled.
In this battle, the French army had no power to parry.
This is all due to the terrain.
The battle didn't last long, and Long Yan's army completely occupied the flour mill.
But Li He was not happy too early.
Their situation is still very pessimistic.
The reason why he chose to occupy such a small flour mill was, firstly, because it was close to their base, and secondly, because it was a weak link in the defense of their base.
The terrain inside the flour mill is relatively complex and suitable for defense.
However, what they can think of, the French army can naturally think of, although now that they have occupied this flour mill, the food problem has been temporarily alleviated.
Such a large-scale operation is bound to usher in a large-scale cleaning operation by the French army.
Li He must organize the Longyan Army to form a defensive force during this period of time.
Stop the French troops.
"Clean the battlefield, transport food back to the base, and the rest, prepare to fight. The French may attack at some point!"
Everyone immediately entered the warehouse of the flour mill and transported the stored flour to their base.
While the Long Yan Army was moving quickly.
A team of French troops arrived just at this time.
They heard the sound of gunshots just now when they were far away, and they sped up, but when they arrived, Captain France, who was leading the troops, observed through the telescope that the flour mill had been controlled by Long Yan's army.
No further action was taken.
There are only about ten people in their team, and they are just going to die if they rush up there.
Captain France made an immediate decision and immediately reported the news to General Horn.
And Li He didn't know about all this.
…
At this time, America.
Portuguese colonial area.
In order to contain the Spanish, Qing Yangshuo sent an envoy to visit Portugal.
In order to express his sincerity, Qin Changfeng took the initiative to invite Miao to go.
The Portuguese colonial area is located behind the Spanish colonial area, and it is difficult to cross by land.
Therefore, Qin Changfeng chose to travel by water, starting from the port in Yuncheng and arriving at the Portuguese colonial area along the coastline.
From Qin Changfeng's understanding, Portugal is still a powerful country. Although they have been ruled by the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty for sixty years.
But the eventual freedom from Spanish Habsburg rule was the key to the escalation of hatred between the two countries.
However, Portugal was still a powerful maritime colonial empire.
With the rise of France and Britain, this powerful country gradually fell into desolation. There are not many Portuguese overseas colonies left, and most of them have been annexed by Britain and France.
In South America, Portugal only has this largest colony left, and there are no Portuguese colonies in North America.
But they have always wanted to go back to the past era, the era of maritime empire when Portugal dominated the world!
Qin Changfeng quickly arrived at the palace of the colonial commander from Portugal, although Portugal is a European country.
But there are more Portuguese people here, which is ironic.
In Reagan, Qin Changfeng met de Janeiro, the current ruler of the Portuguese colonial area.
Janeiro was quite surprised by the arrival of the Dragon Flame Envoy. He was the first to bow and salute and said: "Dear Dragon Flame Envoy, your coming from afar has made this place more glorious."
Qin Changfeng nodded slightly. He was just a messenger, but when facing the actual person in power in a land, the other party needed to salute him first.
"Your Excellency, thank you for your welcome."
The Longyan people can enjoy such treatment abroad because they have a strong country.
And all of this was promoted by Liu Zheng.
Janeiro got out of the way and asked Qin Changfeng to go first, and he followed behind.
"Dragon Flame Envoy, do you need our help for this sudden visit?"
Qin Changfeng turned to look at Janeiro, a smile appeared on his face and said: "I came here this time to reach cooperation with Portugal, um, long-term strategic cooperation."
"I don't know, are you interested?"
