Steven sighed when he heard the choice George made.
"As long as you can come back alive, I can assure you that no one will hold you accountable. The military does not want to give up on you until it is absolutely necessary."
George nodded, feeling much more relieved with this assurance.
Steven stood up, put on his hat, and said: "I will convey your order acceptance information to them, and our people will give you the greatest help."
“You can always look for this person if you need anything.”
Steven handed a folded note to George.
He said coldly: "This is a contact method. If you contact us according to the above method, you can get the help you want, but you only have one chance. You need to wait for subsequent contacts."
George put the note away.
Steven said: "I hope you won't need it. Goodbye."
After saying this, Steven turned around and disappeared into the dark night outside.
At this time, Martha walked in, looked at the open window, and looked at her husband with something different in her eyes.
She frowned and asked: "George, are you going to travel far again?"
George looked at the smart Martha in his arms and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He had only been married to Martha for a short time, and the peaceful days had not lasted too long. He was about to go out again, and he still had to carry out an extremely dangerous mission.
When he thought of this, George felt a little sad.
He could not reveal the content of this mission to Martha yet, so he could only say to her: "This time I am going to Long Yan."
"I'm just going there to deal with our business issues. There's no danger."
Martha stared into George's eyes, and from his eyes, Martha had already read the traces of George's lie this time.
His eyes were wandering, and his hands were making incomprehensible gestures.
But Martha didn't intend to expose George's lies, and just asked: "When are you leaving?"
"tomorrow."
Martha put her arms around his neck and said, "So we still have a few hours, we haven't done this in a while."
"This time, you have to satisfy me..."
George watched Martha's seductive lips rise into a charming smile.
But it shocks me. Unmarried men don’t know how lucky and unfortunate it is to have a wife who loves him deeply after getting married.
Martha pushed George down, a moving look on her face.
George looked at her increasingly charming appearance and was completely smitten.
By the next day, George had to hold on to something while walking, while Martha looked unfinished.
She whispered to George: "You have to come back soon."
George now felt like these words were spoken to him by a pure angel using a devil's voice.
George coughed twice and did not answer Martha's words. Instead, he ordered his entourage to prepare the carriage.
A trip to Longyan City, which is neither long nor short, requires a lot of supplies.
After the butler and attendants had prepared his luggage, they quickly got George into the carriage.
Martha watched George's carriage slowly leave, and suddenly sighed in her heart. When she was about to return to the house, George's voice suddenly sounded.
"A week, I'll be back in a week."
Martha's loss disappeared and her smile returned.
Martha felt happy.
…
At this time, Yuncheng was on the other side of America.
The battle between Spain and Longyan City has basically come to an end.
Spain was unable to withstand the Long Yan Army's attack and was quickly defeated. They never waited for support from the French Army.
Moreover, after Spain returned, it was attacked by Portuguese troops.
The two countries are feuding, and now that Spain is in trouble, Portugal will never miss this opportunity.
Moreover, the treaty they signed with Long Yan made it clear that if Long Yan or Portugal were attacked, they would try to launch an attack on their allies.
They will treat all countries that launch attacks as enemies!
So when Spain attacked Yuncheng, the Portuguese troops launched a war against the Spanish country without any hesitation.
The level of fighting between the two countries is much the same, but because Spain was just defeated by the Longyan Army in Yuncheng, the current Spanish troops are very fragile.
There was no way to stop Portugal's attack.
In Yuncheng at this time, Qin Changfeng did not withdraw his troops after defeating Spain.
Instead, these soldiers will be left in Yuncheng permanently to protect the Panama Canal, which will be opened today.
The construction of the Panama Canal took a lot of manpower and material resources because the rocks in Panama were difficult to dig.
Therefore, Liu Zheng specially designed the water gate.
Using this design, they finally built the Panama Canal's bed on land well above the water level after mining very little rock.
This kind of design can now be called a miracle.
Today is the day when such a miraculous river was opened. The first phase of construction has been completed. The Panama Canal now has the ability to allow ships to pass through, but the displacement of passing ships is limited.
Ships that are too big cannot pass through yet.
Qin Changfeng stood in the control room of a sluice, looking at the majestic Panama Canal. A few years ago, this was just an above-ground canyon.
Except for jungles and wild beasts, there are no living creatures. Even the Indians living here are very taboo about this place.
But now it is a beautiful river, a golden waterway that can connect the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
The first phase of the construction of a river like this today has been completed, and a river like this today is about to be officially opened.
After thinking of this, Qin Changfeng felt inexplicably excited. Unfortunately, Mr. Qing Yangshuo was unable to see such a magnificent landscape while guarding Longyan City.
The chief engineer who designed the Panama Canal came up and said to Qin Changfeng: "General, the inspection has been completed and it can be passed."
"Okay, let's start!" Qin Changfeng said to them in a deep voice.
The chief engineer immediately issued Qin Changfeng's order, and soon the sluice was opened, and the Long Yan merchant ship, which had been preparing to pass through, sailed into it.
Qin Changfeng looked through the telescope as the ships in the distance entered, and saw that the ships were very stable after entering.
At this time, the second sluice was opened to release water. As the water level continued to rise, the ship soon reached the same height as the water level of the second sluice.
At this time, the second sluice was completely opened, and merchant ships sailed in smoothly.
The third lock repeats the previous action, and the merchant ship quickly passes through the three locks as if going up the stairs and enters the lake of the 4 Panama Canal.
The merchant ship passed quickly through the lake and reached the canal at the other end. Qin Changfeng couldn't help but feel nervous.
