After Drew was captured, Wu Kunpeng commanded the Long Yan Navy to launch a large-scale battle in Australia.
Li He's troops took the opportunity to seize the port.
The French soldiers stationed at the port did not expect a force to come out from here. They were caught off guard by Li He's troops.
They were quickly defeated by Li He's troops.
France's ports didn't have many troops to begin with, so a defeat like this was simply normal.
After the port was captured, the French soldiers who were engaged in a naval battle were distraught when they saw what was happening on the shore.
If the port is gone, it means that they are now engaging in meaningless resistance.
At this time, the generals on the supply ship saw the conflict at the port, and the rebels were waving flags.
Under his attention, the troops occupying the port, Long Yanjun
Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered all-out fire to destroy the French fleet.
Now that they have a landing site, they need to occupy the landing site as soon as possible to avoid being recaptured by the French troops on the shore.
Their attacks became more intense.
One shell after another hit the French fleet group.
Long Yan's battleship uses a steam engine power structure, and the size and power of the artillery are astonishingly large.
This is not that kind of lead bullet. The cannonball fired by Longyan Army is a bomb. Once it hits the French battleship, it will cause a huge explosion.
Under such an explosion, the Longyan Army's artillery shells quickly destroyed the French fleet.
The French fleet's weapons are not on the same level as Long Yan's weapons, and they cannot cause much damage to Long Yan's steel battleships at all.
The French fleet quickly collapsed under the weapons of Dragon Flame.
Wu Kunpeng's fleet immediately sailed towards the captured port, although it was not known which fleet captured the port.
But seeing the dragon flame flag waving on the other side, one can conclude that it is one of our own.
After Wu Kunpeng's troops approached the coast, when he saw the general of the resistance army, his expression changed slightly: "Li He?"
"Wu Kunpeng, it's you!"
"How come you are so miserable when you stay in Australia?" Wu Kunpeng patted Li He on the shoulder, who was dressed like a beggar.
Li He laughed, looked at Wu Kunpeng, punched him in the chest and said with a smile: "How can you talk? I am also your squad leader, why don't you find me a military uniform?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
When I was under Qin Changfeng, the two of them were in the same class under the same military camp.
What neither of them expected was that they could actually see each other here.
"Squad leader, what's going on? Why did it become like this?"
Li He sighed, took a puff of cigarette and talked about the past.
"These hateful French people!" Wu Kunpeng said through gritted teeth.
"I've caught that Drew guy, so shoot him now!"
Hearing these words, Li He was stunned, but when he saw Wu Kunpeng stood up suddenly, just to settle the score with Drew, he grabbed Wu Kunpeng's open leg and said in a deep voice: "Come back!"
"You're a general now and you're still so impulsive!"
Wu Kunpeng turned to look at Li He, hesitated for a moment, and sat down.
He heard Li He say: "Now is not the time to attack Drew."
"As you just said, Drew has transported a group of scientists and engineers to Longyan. We have to keep him to exchange those scientists and engineers back."
"After the hostages are rescued, it will be the best time for us to take action against the French army."
Wu Kunpeng clenched his fists: "Then why don't we avenge our dead brothers? If it hadn't been for this bastard, the little leper wouldn't have died!"
When he mentioned the little leper, Li He's eyes trembled, and the cigarette in his hand seemed to stay in time and space, and the picture remained still for a few seconds.
To Li He, these few seconds seemed as long as a century.
He said in a deep voice: "Revenge must be avenged, but the life of the entire French people who started this war must be demanded, not just one Drew, the little leper's life cannot be left to him alone!"
"It's too cheap for him!"
…
At this time, the battlefield in Australia was reversed.
Africa on the other side.
The Italian army came to the area where they had been friends for a long time, Somalia.
Although Somalia has few resources, it has a very critical geographical location.
Known as the Horn of Africa, ships entering the Red Sea can be controlled from here.
This is a key lifeline that can control the Mediterranean countries. However, after Italy captured Somalia and turned it into a colony, it failed to successfully control the Latin Gulf region.
In this way, countries in the Mediterranean can gain greater benefits, and the reason is very simple.
Long Yan's fleet has firmly controlled Latin Gulf in their hands, how could they give it to others.
Therefore, Italy, which controlled Somalia, was not satisfied with this dry area.
His troops decided to launch an aggressive war against the ancient civilization on the Ethiopian plateau with a history of more than 3,000 years.
But before going to war, Italy hesitated.
Now France and Long Yan are competing for territory. Even if his goal of entering Ethiopia at this time is not their territory, it will cause speculation on the other side.
If there was a war with the Long Yan Army and the French Army, Italy thought about it, and it would win with a high chance.
The Italian generals thought that it was their country that had the final say in the Sinai Peninsula.
Rome, the ancient capital of the Holy Roman Empire, is now under his control. Even the Pope is trapped in Rome by their troops. The current Pope has not left Rome for a long time.
With such strength, Long Yanjun and the French army should still be able to win if they join forces to attack.
Moreover, I had no intention of competing in the French colonial area.
I just want to have some ideas about the Kingdom of Aksum next to me.
The Kingdom of Aksum was first established by Semites who immigrated from the Arabian Peninsula.
Now there is a black rule. The reason why Italy wants to invade the Kingdom of Aksum is not because of the resources in the other country. Although the Ethiopian plateau is full of resources, these resources are not valuable.
The reason why he wanted to occupy the Kingdom of Axum was to engage in the slave trade.
Now America is engaged in slave-holding and plantation economy.
This kind of human trafficking can also be used by both sides. It's a hugely profitable deal, and Italy naturally doesn't want to miss it.
But in the past, this kind of business was developed in Britain and France. Italy felt that if it didn't enter the market, there would be no hot soup left.
The slave trade established on these two huge continents, Africa and America, has reaped huge benefits that every country can covet.
So Italy wants to invade this 'civilized country' in Africa.
He set off from Somalia to the Ogaden region, and he was going to invade the Kingdom of Aksum from this wasteland.
