Fang Dalong and Wan Shang had a sudden thought, and they looked at Richard.
Their identities must have been exposed. A trace of panic flashed on their faces, but they quickly stabilized their facial expressions.
If their identities were exposed, Fang Dalong and Wan Shang would not be here now, but in the dungeon of France.
Now Richard invites them here for such an important meeting.
That means their identities have not been exposed at least yet.
Thinking of this, the two of them gradually calmed down a little.
The two stood up, leaned forward slightly, met Richard's gaze, and said, "Sir Richard, if you have any orders, just tell us."
Richard's sharp gaze faded a bit, and he said: "Since you have become members of our French colonial area, I think you should be able to provide some information on the attack on Long Yan."
"I don't think you two will agree to my request."
The two of them almost lost control of their facial expressions. They were originally undercover agents in the French colonial area photographed by Qing Yangshuo.
Just wanted to get some information about France.
Now that France and Long Yan are at war, the two of them are still thinking about how to tell Long Yan the news. Now, it's better. Richard directly announced that the two of them will directly provide the information about Long Yan.
They were Long Yan's undercover agents, how could they possibly provide France with accurate and reliable information.
Thinking of this, the two frowned and looked very complicated.
"Your Excellency Richard, we should indeed provide information about Longyan."
"But the two of us still care about Longyan City."
Richard chuckled, thinking that these two people were really businessmen, and at this time they were exchanging bargaining chips with him.
However, France really needs information about Long Yan.
Richard waved his hand and said directly: "We have no choice but to attack Long Yan."
"You Longyan people died in our French colonial area, will you come here to hold us accountable?"
"Okay, okay, I can promise you some conditions."
Wan Shang took a step forward, bowed deeply, looked at Richard and said, "As long as you agree to our three requirements, we can provide you with the corresponding information."
"Speak." Richard said indifferently.
"First, the French army can only fight the Longyan Army. The civilians living in Longyan City should not be targets of attack. They have nothing."
"We are only opposed to Qing Yangshuo's arbitrary behavior. We do not have any hatred for our Long Yan."
"Okay, there's no problem with that."
Wan Shang continued: "Second, we need your assurance that after capturing Long Yan City, we cannot declare it to be your land. At least this place officially belongs to Long Yan."
"We are only helping Longyan City to eliminate evil. We do not want foreign enemies to occupy them."
Richard hesitated, but finally agreed.
In his opinion, the conditions proposed by Wan Shang and Fang Dalong were just to make themselves look less like traitors.
Richard sneered at this behavior of betraying the country and establishing his own image of greatness.
But now, he still needed Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, so he didn't say much.
"What is the third point? You can tell me now."
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The two of us will become the ministers of your intelligence department and have all the powers to be responsible for Long Yan's intelligence."
"I believe, Sir Richard, you will agree to this request. No one has more information about Dragon Flame than the two of us."
"There is no one else who knows better than the two of us how to distinguish whether the Dragon Flame information is useful or false."
Richard hesitated.
Although Fang Dalong saved their lives, Richard still did not maintain 100% trust in the two of them.
After all, they are declaring war with Longyan City, and Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, the two Longyan people, are not worthy of complete trust.
After thinking carefully, Richard said: "Yes, yes, but the deputy ministers under you and others will be our French elites."
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong looked at each other and smiled and said, "Of course."
Richard saw that the two of them agreed, but still maintained distrust.
He thought for a while and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't met the two ladies yet. Tomorrow, tomorrow night."
"Let us celebrate the upcoming victory, and don't forget to bring your family members with you."
Hearing these words, both of them felt their hearts skip a beat.
Richard wanted to threaten them with their families and keep them as hostages to prevent them from making any rebellious moves.
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong bowed deeply again and said, "This is natural."
Richard begged them in no way to refuse.
This was the only way to get Richard to completely let down his guard and trust the two of them.
…
At this time, late night is approaching and dawn has not yet risen.
Longyan City is still in darkness.
But suddenly a fire lit up.
The fire was rapidly expanding, accompanied by blood, fire, and thunderous sounds of battle.
It was as if Longyan City was going to be submerged.
"kill!"
This is the French soldiers attacking. The rockets in their hands are lost and they throw themselves at the Longyan Army desperately.
Fortunately, Long Yanjun had already been prepared.
The moment before the French army launched their attack, the Long Yan Army hiding in the dark outside Longyan City had already discovered the whereabouts of the French army.
As early as when the French army arrived at Longyan City, the war had already broken out.
Qing Yangshuo was sleeping in the city lord's mansion, and an urgent message knocked on his door.
"Sir, the French army is invading."
Qing Yangshuo didn't panic at all when he heard the news. He had long expected that the French army would most likely launch an attack, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Although I don't panic, things are urgent.
Qing Yangshuo immediately issued an order: "Give me the order. The Long Yan Army will immediately mobilize its forces to stop the French army. Where is General Qin Changfeng?"
"He has gone to the front."
Qing Yangshuo nodded and said: "Stabilize the situation in the city. Don't worry, we have enough food to support us for a long time."
"Send people to calm the emotions of the people in the city and mobilize soldiers. We must not let the French attack!"
Instructions were issued quickly.
Qing Yangshuo is disabled, but at this moment, an old man who should be enjoying his old age in peace, comes to the city in a wheelchair and personally directs the comfort work of the residents.
As for the front line.
As soon as the battle broke out, he rushed to the battlefield and personally supervised the war on the battlefield.
Under his command, the French army's offensive momentum was gradually curbed.
There is Qing Yangshuo inside to calm the victims, and Qin Changfeng outside to resist the enemies.
Longyan City is temporarily declared safe.
Facing the gradual defeat, a crazy idea came to Kent's mind.
