Clancy spit out a sip of coffee.
He looked at his waiter in disbelief.
"Are you sure that these things you said are true?"
The waiter nodded. He was not only Clancy's personal waiter, but also the person in charge of intelligence. Britain's intelligence system was not as powerful as Longyan.
But it's not too weak, like the big things that have happened in France recently.
All it takes is a little inquiry to find out that this is no longer a secret.
As for Long Yan's construction of the canal in the Isthmus of Panama, it was because Richard deliberately spread it, which made it so easy for the waiter to obtain reliable information.
Clinxi's face suddenly darkened. If Long Yan really built a canal on the Isthmus of Panama that could connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The consequences are unimaginable.
Britain has lost its battle with Long Yan over the Suez Canal, and now the Suez Canal is controlled by Long Yan.
This canal is related to the economic lifeline of Europe.
Known as the Golden Waterway.
But if the Panama Canal is successfully opened, it will directly shorten the voyage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
This is even more terrifying!
The Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the two largest oceans in the world, can cover almost all countries in the world.
Shortening the shipping distance between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans will have a considerable impact on ocean trade.
No one will know the value of this canal once it is opened.
But if this canal falls into the hands of Long Yan.
In addition, Long Yan now owns the Suez Canal. If he holds these two golden waterways...
"Long Yan will control the economy and even the military power of the entire Western world!"
Clancy blurted out that he had realized the seriousness of the matter.
The waiter then said: "General, do you still want to mobilize troops to attack France?"
Clintsy hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the plan remains as usual."
The waiter was slightly startled, raised his head to look at Clincy, and then quickly lowered his head without saying a word.
He stood up and left, passing on Clancy's orders.
Clancy took a sip of coffee and narrowed his eyes. Everyone wanted the golden waterway.
But it depends on whether you have the strength.
Although Britain has experienced economic reforms now, it has eased.
But Clancy was not foolish enough to start two wars, which would not only stretch the front line, but also hurt the allies.
Long Yan is still an ally of Britain, even if Long Yan really dug a canal connecting the two oceans.
Britain only needs to propose cooperation with Long Yan. Why should it cause trouble with Long Yan now?
When the war in France is over, Britain will be victorious. At that time, they will have plenty of time to fight the dragon flames.
Now is not the time.
Thinking of this, Clincy put the focus of the war on the French instead of the Long Yan people.
…
News of the war between Long Yan and France has spread throughout America. It is impossible to hide such news, and Long Yan did not deliberately hide it.
At this time, Spain.
The Spanish leader also quickly received news of the battle between the Long Yan Army and the French Army.
Such news filled his face with joy.
The Spanish leader wished that the two countries were playing tricks on each other so that he could reap the benefits from behind.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
The Spanish leader said calmly: "Don't worry, wait a little longer."
"Is the leader waiting for this battle to end?"
"I think their battle will last for a long time..."
The Spanish leader did not answer. Naturally, what he was waiting for was not the end of the war.
Instead, they are waiting for Portugal's attitude. Portugal has now signed an agreement with Long Yancheng.
As soon as the agreement was signed, war broke out in Longyan City.
According to the agreement, Portugal should first find France to declare war and support Long Yan.
But Portugal's land march has been blocked by their Spanish colonial area.
It is possible to travel by sea, but Portugal has no intention of participating in this war now.
This made the Spanish leader a little worried. He could not imagine that he would be intercepted by Portugal after taking action.
It is for this reason that the Spanish leader has been standing still and waiting for Portugal to express its position.
Only when he was sure that Portugal was really out of danger did he dare to attack Yuncheng with troops and seize the Panama Canal.
His target was always the Panama Canal.
He told Richard the secret, made him believe it, and revealed the news to Britain, intentionally or unintentionally.
Just to let Long Yan start a war.
Long Yan's troops were scattered, and everyone knew exactly how powerful the Indian troops in Yuncheng were.
At that time, Spain only needs to launch an attack to annex Yuncheng, which Long Yan has worked so hard to develop.
The Panama Canal, which is about to be successfully excavated, will also become the possession of Spain.
At that time, the three forces of Britain, France, and Longyan were fighting to contain it.
There is no time to pay attention to him. Even if he wants to, he will be restrained by the other two forces, and Spain only needs to face one enemy.
Portuguese colonial area.
The Spanish chief is confident of defeating Portugal.
The golden waterway of the Panama Canal can definitely make Spain strong again.
The Spanish leaders imagined that their Spain would once again ride on the sea, and neither Britain nor France would be their opponents.
The 'empire on which the sun never sets', which the Spaniards have missed for hundreds of years, has reappeared in front of the world.
…
At this time, the Portuguese colonial area.
Naturally, Janeiro also received the information that Longyan City was attacked by the French.
At this moment, he frowned and didn't know what to do.
They had just signed an agreement with Long Yan. According to the agreement, they should send troops to support Long Yan.
But now that the land route is impassable, Portugal has very few ships left to transport them by sea. The loss of even one merchant ship is not something Portugal can afford.
Moreover, Longyan City does not have a port in North America.
Even if the supporting troops arrived, they would not be able to disembark.
Thinking of this, Janeiro sighed.
However, if they don't support now, it will be equivalent to breaking the agreement they signed with Long Yangang.
This is also not a good thing for Portugal, which wants to develop.
It can even be said to be a bad thing.
If they offend Long Yan, how can Portugal develop?
Thinking of this, Janeiro ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order, if the French attack our friendly countries, we will fight back!"
"Let our troops travel by sea and land to support the Longyan Army!"
"No matter what the outcome is, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch!"
Janeiro's order was quickly issued, and he sighed deeply.
In his opinion, the team he sent out was almost like dying.
He had no hope that this unit would come back alive.
