Iceland's geographical location is a bit special.
It is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is very large. According to Jiang Xuelan's description, it is almost twenty times the size of the current main city of Liangzhou.
With an area of almost 100,000 square kilometers, it can be said to be a very large island on the sea.
According to Jiang Xuelan's description, this island is sparsely populated and has large arable land suitable for growing cotton.
It is said that Denmark, another European power, once occupied this island and it was their colonial area, but Denmark itself seems to have forgotten this.
In short, the island is now in a very backward stage. The society on the island is still in the agricultural era, and the people who believe in gods appear from nowhere.
A pirate who knew nothing acted as God's messenger on that island and occupied the island.
Jiang Xuelan established a cooperative relationship with him, established a trade center on the island, and even owned a large plantation on the island.
After hearing this, Li Hongtian immediately understood the key points. Denmark is a major power in Europe. He and Norway merged to rule that sea area.
Jiang Xuelan told him this because she wanted to use the power of Long Yan to save the island, and it would be best to be able to go out independently.
This way her business can continue on the island.
In fact, dismantling the colonial system is something Long Yan is very happy to do.
The reason why these European powers are powerful is because they developed superb warships during the Age of Discovery.
Relying on these battleships, they invaded other continents, colonized and occupied their resources, and strengthened themselves.
If the European colonies can be dismantled, the strength of countries large and small in this place will be greatly reduced.
Li Hongtian nodded: "I will find a way to deal with this matter, but there is no rush."
Jiang Xuelan nodded. She knew how difficult this matter was, even though she was doing business in Iceland and had not been harassed by Denmark.
But if Denmark comes to its senses and finds itself doing this kind of thing in other people's colonies.
As a businessman, she will definitely not end well at that time.
After thinking of this, Jiang Xuelan asked Li Hongtian for help. While she was still in front of Li Hongtian, she had a good impression.
"In this way, you first mark the location of Iceland on the map."
Jiang Xuelan runs boats all year round, and the nautical chart is also a kind of map. She clicked on a place on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, close to the territory of Tsarist Russia.
Mark the approximate location of Iceland.
Li Hongtian was slightly startled when he saw the location of Iceland. Others may not know how important Iceland's geographical location is, but Long Yan, who had fought against Tsarist Russia, knew it very well.
Whether it is Tsarist Russia, France, or Prussia, this big island needs to pass through if you want to go to America.
This is a bit interesting.
The geographical location is relatively important and it owns a large area of cultivated land. Its independence is very valuable to Long Yan.
After some consideration, Li Hongtian finally made the decision to send people to negotiate with Denmark, no, to inform them to abandon the Icelandic colony and start the chapter of dismantling the colonial regime.
However, this matter still needs to be figured out slowly.
The Danish Empire was originally the Kamal Union consisting of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
But now the Kamal Alliance exists in name only, an empire formed by the merger of Denmark and Norway and the annexation of surrounding territories. The country is strong and strong.
However, due to climate reasons, there is not much land suitable for human habitation. Most of the time, their land is surrounded by ice and snow.
Going to talk to the powerful Denmark about dismantling the colony now is a bit of a fool's errand. Long Yan must wait for an opportunity.
Wait for a suitable opportunity.
…
At this time, France.
In the Palace of Paris, Louis XV ignored the government affairs for a long time and directly asked the Prime Minister to manage all affairs on his behalf.
This allowed the divine power to develop greatly.
The cardinal has been prime minister for a long time. As he grows older, France now enjoys continuous military and political affairs.
All kinds of war information came one after another.
He could no longer hold on and passed away this morning.
His death, coupled with Louis XV's inaction, directly led to domestic chaos.
The death of the cardinal made Louis XV decide to follow the example of rule without a prime minister.
France has become his personal dynasty, which is definitely not good news.
Since the beginning of the war, Louis XV's decisions have been stifling.
Especially after expanding the battlefield in Europe, we are still thinking about the current overseas colonies.
Doing so would only aggravate the domestic situation, but Louis XV was like a willful child, using the power in his hands to shout: "I want it all."
But now France's mainland cannot spare any spare energy to attack the Prussian troops, and their overseas colonies have fallen into a three-way melee.
Africa is France's main resource export area. Egypt is currently fighting, and South America is also fighting.
Or with the other two who have powerful power at sea, Longyan and Britain.
This is undoubtedly stupid.
The French warships were already too far behind them.
At this time, France also opened two battlefields in America.
Still fighting against Longyan and Britain.
There is also Australia. France is trying to annex the Xie Fang regime in Australia and wants to obtain Long Yan's technical support in Australia, but now it seems that this is just a dream.
After France captured Tasmania, Australia's war progress was very slow.
Faced with this situation, France must send more troops.
But if you do this, Africa and the Americas will not receive support from the French army, and you may even lose large tracts of colonies.
But Louis XV seemed to be crazy and did not give up the fight for Australia.
He believed that the value of the Longyan factory on the Australian mainland was much higher than the value of those colonies.
However, everyone knows that Australia is a continent at any time, but the resources on it are extremely scarce.
Many resources need to be imported from the Americas and Africa.
Australia is important simply because of its geographical location.
The huge throughput of Australia's ports made him rich, and the current ruler of Australia is Xie Fang, the deposed Crown Prince Long Yan.
Such a regime established by Prince Long Yan in Australia has received assistance from Long Yan.
But is Long Yan’s real core technology on the Australian island?
After this period of fighting, controversial voices have been raised in China. They believe that Australia does not have the most advanced technology of Long Yan.
Although the Yinzhou ship they used was also very powerful, it was far from reaching the level of the Longyan supply ship.
Everyone is already opposed to attacking Australia.
But Louis XV was the emperor of France, and without the constraints of the prime minister, no one could object to his words.
The helmsman of the ship France, the emperor under the monarchy, was steering the giant ship named France to crash into an iceberg. This was something they had predicted.
No one on the boat could stop it, they could only try their best to keep it running, even if it was about to collapse.
