"Dreadnought-class battleship repair..."
George was slightly startled. The Dreadnought-class battleship is a powerful battleship developed by Britain. With the cooperation of his own troops, it should be unlikely that the French fleet will suffer any damage.
And even if it is damaged, it is still a matter of repairing the factory. Why should this matter be discussed at the highest level meeting in the British Colony.
George suddenly recalled what Qing Yangshuo had said to him, and instantly understood what had happened.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and tried his best to control the shocked expression on his features.
Fortunately, everyone was silent in the pain of the Dreadnought-class battleship, and almost turned a blind eye to him.
George took a deep breath and walked in.
Clincy saw that it was George, and his already gloomy face was even more astonished. It was simply incredible that Qing Yangshuo could bring George back alive.
"Is the matter settled?"
George smiled and said: "Living up to expectations, Long Yan agreed to provide us with weapons and also allowed our merchant ships to pass through the port of Panama. As for the insider, they will find out.
"However, this is all conditional."
Clancy raised his eyebrows. This was very different from the task he assigned to George, but it was pretty good to get such an answer.
After all, now he didn't even have the bargaining chip to negotiate with Long Yan. Clintsi asked: "What kind of conditions?"
"Everything requires chips. They want to get gold coins. Your Excellency, this is the price list provided by Long Yan."
George took out a price list and spread it out so Clancy could see it more clearly.
Clintsy saw the price above: "A ship costs one hundred gold to pass, and a dragon fire cannon costs one thousand gold..."
Seeing this densely packed and detailed price list, Clancy's already gloomy face turned even darker.
"Grab the money!"
George smiled and said: "This is the most generous condition Long Yan can give us. We are looking for Long Yan to cooperate, not Long Yan looking for us to cooperate."
"Your Excellency Clincy, this must be the lowest price I can negotiate. I really have no choice. Please understand."
Hearing this, Clancy gasped for breath. He looked at George: "I know..."
"You go down."
Such an offer would rub salt into Clancy's wounds, but Clancy had absolutely no way to refuse.
George did not move. He looked at Clancy and said calmly: "Your Excellency seems to have forgotten that I am also a congressman. I am qualified to participate in such a meeting."
"I think your Excellency will not refuse a member to attend the meeting."
George pulled the wooden chair, making a harsh sound that penetrated Clancy's irritated and disgusted ears.
Seeing him sit down, Clancy's eyes twitched and she was about to say angrily: "George..."
"George, of course you should participate in this parliament. This is your right."
The people from the military department took over Clancy's words and said with a smile.
Clancy stared coldly at George and the person in charge of the military department, Marshal Vic.
Marshal Vic looked at Clincy with a smile and said calmly: "This is what we agreed on. Now that the matter has been settled, we should proceed as we agreed."
Clancy closed his eyes tightly, and the muscles on his face squirmed due to the force of George and Marshal Vic.
He took two deep breaths to try to calm down.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Okay, the meeting will continue. Now that there are no Dreadnought-class battleships, what method should we use to contain the French army and regain the supply line of the St. Laurent River?"
George said: "We have other warships. These battleships can also block the French troops. We just need to quickly end the battle in Quebec City before the French troops recapture the supply line."
"Then this will all be over."
Clancy looked at George who was speaking and said coldly: "George, it's not you on the battlefield now, it's General Astimo. We don't have enough weapons to launch an attack on the French army!"
"Besides, Quebectown is a town on a mountain, and we don't have artillery that we can use!"
George spread his hands and said: "We have just negotiated with Long Yan to purchase weapons. Long Yan's grenades and artillery can completely meet our needs."
Hearing such frivolous words, Clinxi could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and cursed: "Are you a lobbyist sent by Long Yan!"
"George, you are a member of Britain's parliament, not a member of Longyan!"
With a bang, Clancy stood up suddenly, the chair slid backwards and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Everyone looked at Clancy.
George sat innocently on the chair and said: "Chief, this is the fastest solution I can think of to solve the battle now. You are also a soldier and know that Longyan's weapons can quickly help us solve the battle."
"For this battle, we only need to pay a small amount of money, but the big thing is the pattern."
"The important town of Quebec is the only important town of the French army on the east coast. Once it is settled, our British colony can control the entire east coast of North America, and France will cut off one of its most important colonies."
"What do you think?"
Marshal Vic also echoed: "George is right. When we attack the French colony, isn't it because we want to compete with the other party for control of the east coast and the territory in this area?"
Everyone thinks that the plan proposed by George is the best plan.
Their military did not control the finances of the British colonies, and Clinsey had financial power.
Clancy didn't want to give any money to this side, but now he was forced to do so by the people from the military department.
“We don’t have that much budget right now.”
George sighed and added: "Judging from the information in front of me, our Dreadnought-class battleships can no longer be used. Now, as your Excellency said, we should end the war as soon as possible."
"It's best to take advantage of the fact that the French army hasn't counterattacked yet."
"If we wait for them to retake the supply line of the St. Laurent River, the situation of the battle will change, and I believe the French army will not give us too much time."
"Every minute and second we waste now is buying time for the French to counterattack."
George looked at Clancy and said sincerely: "Sir, make a decision. You know the current situation better than I do."
Everyone also looked at Clancy.
Clancy sighed. He could no longer refuse. The Quebec region was very important to them.
This kind of plan is actually the safest, and Clincy also knows it.
Now, most of the people in the parliament have agreed with this plan, and whether they agree or not has no effect.
He could only sigh and said for the sake of the overall situation: "Okay, I will ask people to purchase these weapons from Long Yan. I hope your military department can quickly capture the Quebec position."
"The war cannot continue to be consumed."
"As ordered..."
