At this time, Egypt.
The Longyan Army led by Jiang Xuan, after winning the battle with the French army in the Nile River Basin.
Long Yan's army took advantage of the situation to change its combat strategy with the French army, evacuated the interior of the French colonial area, and instead established a base in the Nile River Basin.
In this way, Long Yan's army penetrated deep into the hinterland of the French colonial area and gained a large area of territory, which was completely retreated and lost.
This can be said to have turned all the previous offensive efforts of the Long Yan Army into nothingness.
But Jiang Xuan didn't care at all about such gains and losses.
For him, this was just a strategic adjustment.
Those territories are a burden to the Longyan Army. If they stay in the hinterland of the French colony for a long time, the Longyan Army needs to step aside to maintain the current situation.
But once this situation is broken, Long Yanjun will fall into the blockade of the French army.
The reason why Jiang Xuan made this strategic adjustment was because it was meaningless and even a little dangerous for them to continue to stay in the hinterland of the French colony.
The second reason is that Nashadir has now developed an army with a size of tens of thousands.
Already established a foothold within the French colonial area.
Jiang Xuan never thought of completely breaking down the French colonial area from the outside.
In the French colonial area, there are countless tribes, large and small, and it is necessary to unify these tribes with completely different customs and abilities.
It is very difficult. Instead of ruling them, it is better to let them rule themselves, and the tribes form a state.
At that time, Long Yan only needs to cooperate with the chiefs of these tribes.
It can really help Long Yan reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Therefore, Jiang Xuan did not want to let Long Yanjun continue to attack at this time and break through the main force of the French army.
They only need to contain it, and the French colonial zone will collapse on its own.
And at this time.
Egypt is not the only large territory in Africa. Egypt is at best a relatively wealthy place in northern Africa.
But in other parts of Africa, the tribes where black people live also have abundant resources.
For Dick, South Africa, Central Africa, and the colonies controlled by other countries will be his main targets for this attack.
Taking advantage of the fact that the French army was now unable to protect itself, Dick shamelessly attacked many French colonies in Africa.
This gave Dawn, the commander-in-chief of the African colonial zone, a headache.
But something had happened, and he had to find a way to solve it.
Africa is the largest supply region for their French economy and development.
If the attack here is short-lived, the French army will be knocked out.
There is no need to continue to maintain the European battlefield.
There is no need to continue maintaining the Australian battlefield.
It goes without saying much about the American battlefields.
The Britons and American settlers would not miss this opportunity.
In great anxiety, he issued an order to recruit the navy and hire black troops.
Cooperate with many indigenous tribes in Africa and let Africans work for them.
The tribes who had never seen the world and were controlled by Dao En using those powerful ships and cannons chose to cooperate with them under coercion and inducement.
The French army began to train black troops to expand its army.
Use this method to resist the British troops.
This greatly slowed down the British attack, which was a good thing for the French.
But Dawn also knew that these black troops could not last long at all, whether it was in terms of armaments or weapons.
They are all very different.
They needed French assistance in Europe itself.
…
At this time, France.
After the death of the cardinal prime minister, Louis XV gradually became extravagant.
Even now the French Empire is overseas and has opened up so many battlefields in Europe.
Louis XV did not economize at all and continued to squander the empire's money.
He wanted to build a small palace for Madame Pompadour next to the Palace of Versailles.
Petit Trianon.
Although such a decision encountered opposition from ministers, France is now a monarchy.
No matter how opposed these ministers were, it was impossible to change the decision that Louis XV had already made.
Mrs. Pompadour said she liked this very much.
As for the reinforcements for Dawn.
Louis XV didn't take it to heart at all. He didn't care at all about the situation in Africa.
What he cares about is the war situation in Australia.
Only with Long Yan's technology can France become stronger. For them, Africa is just a colony rich in various raw materials.
Inner Britain has invaded today. With Longyan's technology, it will be the same if we fight back another day.
And at the Army Academy in France.
Bonaparte also ushered in his second semester.
For him, in the first semester, he was very surprised to see that the French troops were still using the old retro combat methods.
Now that we are in the age of steam engines, the smelting of steel is no longer a difficult problem.
The production cost of muskets is also further reduced.
He also heard that Long Yan has now built a steam train that can transport raw materials quickly. This shows that the industrial age is coming.
With the current use of muskets and artillery.
Their French team still maintains its previous fighting style, which is destined to be eliminated.
"Oh my God, I can't imagine our troops still using column tactics."
"Not long ago, Prussia has proven to us that this tactic has been eliminated. The diagonal combat he used successfully contained the troops' attack. This kind of combat allowed them to achieve a considerable victory with very small casualties."
A friend he met at the Army Academy, Kane, a down-and-out Austrian nobleman, told him: "Bonaparte, my friend, you won't think so when you see it on the battlefield."
"The French troops used such primitive tactics to break through the Prussian defense line."
"In that battle, our Austrian troops also participated."
Bonaparte glanced at him and said, "Kane, do you know how the Dragon Flame Army fights now?"
"Do you know how the Long Yan Army fought? How did it take four days to capture your Austrian port city?"
Kane's face froze and he turned away, not wanting to look at his good friend anymore.
What he said is Austria's biggest shame since the war began.
Bonaparte looked at him and said: "The things invented by Long Yanjun are the products of this industrial society."
"It's because of this kind of thing that your Austrian port city was lost so quickly."
"The Long Yan Army is now making full use of the inventions of the Industrial Revolution to change the way war is fought today."
"Times have changed, Kane!"
Kane turned his head to look at Bonaparte impatiently, and asked coldly: "Since you think that the times have changed and the way of fighting has changed, what weapons do you think we should use to fight now, except for long-range weapons?" Spears and bows and arrows?”
"Does it depend on those expensive muskets and artillery?"
