"General, the Long Yan Army led by Li He is like a fly to us. A fly that cannot be killed should of course be killed."
"But now we are short of manpower, and the top priority is not to attack, but to establish a stable supply line for soldiers."
"In a protracted war, we can't wear out Xie Fang's troops."
Horn sneered, took out a cigarette to light it, and said lightly: "You put it lightly, America is now at war with Britain and Long Yan at the same time."
"Who else can provide us with troops?"
Drew walked to the map, which was a drawn map of the world, and his finger landed on another continent near Australia.
Africa!
Africa is quite backward due to its geographical environment.
The Egyptian region close to Europe developed rapidly and had mastered the smelting of iron and the manufacture of explosives.
In the past period of time, Egypt was an extremely powerful place.
But at the southern tip of Africa, the Africans in the Cape of Good Hope still maintain their traditional hunting methods.
After entering the industrial revolution, the whole world was transitioning to thermal weapons.
But the Africans in this place are surviving in a very backward way by using the most primitive wooden sticks to make arrows and stones as hammers.
Perhaps because of Africa's backwardness, their land has almost inexhaustible mineral resources.
It was also a key plundering area for European powers.
France is no exception. They have a large colony in Africa.
Drew said: "We may be able to let the indigenous people of Africa help us defeat the Dragon Flame Army. They have strong bodies."
"With enough loyalty, they are the most suitable troops to be used as cannon fodder."
General Horn narrowed his eyes slightly, took a sip and blew it away: "This is a good idea."
"Those useless slaves are indeed suitable to be cannon fodder."
"Go ahead and do this, Drew, we can't last much longer."
Drew leaned forward slightly and backed away.
At this time, Li He's side...
"General, in this raid, we gained two artillery pieces and a ship. This time we made a profit!" Ge Dazhuang said excitedly.
Li He hummed, nodded, and said, "Have you found the people I asked you to find who have gone to school?"
Ge Dazhuang scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "General, you are making things difficult for me. There are wars everywhere now. The people you mentioned cannot be said to be absent. I can only say that they cannot be found at all."
Li He glanced at Ge Dazhuang and did not blame him. He could only sigh: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. I want you to help me find some workers who know how to repair ships."
Ge Dazhuang was stunned and glanced at the ship they captured.
The boat is not big, but not small either. It is a fishing boat.
When they captured it, the ship was still in relatively good condition, with no damage anywhere.
Because this is a medium-sized ship, there is no need to build a deep-water port. A simple dock is enough.
They just happen to have control of such a small dock now.
"General, why are you looking for a boat repairman? We can use this boat directly. We can eat more fish with these."
Li He shook his head: "If you are told to go, just go!"
Ge Dazhuang agreed repeatedly and hurried to find the ship repairman.
Tasmania has a fishing tradition and there are many boat repairmen. It didn't take long for Ge Dazhuang to find two people.
He looked at Li He writing and drawing on a drawing and couldn't help but look over curiously.
But I saw that what Li He drew was a boat, and two artillery pieces were built on the boat.
Ge Dazhuang clicked his tongue and said, "General, do you want a battleship? We don't have the ability now."
Li He raised his head and glanced at Ge Dazhuang: "Who said we don't have this capability now? We now have ships and artillery. Wouldn't it be enough to put the artillery on the ship?"
Ge Dazhuang was stunned for a moment: "Ah!"
He didn't understand where Li He's idea came from, but even though he didn't know a few words, he knew it wouldn't work.
The artillery fires on the ground, and the recoil is at best a few times.
But if we were on a boat, or a fishing boat, and hit it with one shot, the recoil would be enough to overturn the boat.
"General, isn't this a bit unrealistic?"
Li He glanced at him and ignored him.
Instead, he called the ship repairmen and told them: "We are going to install these two artillery pieces on the fishing boat. I need help."
The ship repairmen were also stunned for a moment.
Before they could refuse, Li He took out the drawings he had drawn and said, "I have already replaced the drawings. That fishing boat can be converted into a small destroyer. Take a look. There is no problem. Let's move quickly."
The ship repairmen looked at the drawings, and the values marked on them made them dizzy.
But after seeing the picture drawn by Li He, they discussed it and said, "Sir, according to your idea, it is indeed feasible to make such a modification, but we cannot guarantee that it will be successful. This is crazy."
Li He smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if you fail, no one will blame you. Okay, do you want to follow me?"
Several people looked at each other, communicated, and finally said: "As you wish."
Under Ge Dazhuang's shocked eyes, Li He took them away.
Ge Dazhuang scratched his head, still not understanding what they were going to do and why they were wasting energy on such an impossible thing.
…
At this time, Egypt.
Since Nashadir left, Marina has embarked on a journey to find her.
It didn't take long for Marina to hear news about Nashadir.
They fought with the French troops near the Shawn tribe, and no one knew the outcome of the battle.
Marina's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. This is France's home court. Even though the Egyptian tribes have united now, there is still a big gap against the French team.
Marina is very worried about Nashadir's safety.
She immediately rushed to where the fighting broke out, hoping to find something.
…
Outside the granary, there were guards arranged by Nashadir. Through their binoculars, they saw a woman riding a fast horse and coming quickly.
They frowned. This woman looked Arab, not French.
What is an Arab woman doing here?
"Do you want to shoot?"
"No, she might have entered by mistake."
"What should we do?"
"Take it back first. If there are no problems, let it go."
The guards paid attention and intercepted Marina. Marina trembled when she looked at the sudden appearance of the soldier.
But looking at the rebels who were dressed like Egyptian rebels, she asked eagerly: "Do you have a person named Mr. Ou Nashadir here?"
The guards were stunned. Nashadir was their general. This woman actually knew him?
A guard lowered his voice and said, "What now?"
The other thought for a while before saying: "No matter, take her back first. Our general may know who she is."
