Chapter 1332: America Progress

Teresa watched the departing horse carriage, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Liu Sheng could have easily left through the back door with Count Austin; there was no need for an explanation.

After all, although Franz was so despicable, his family remained a great Noble house of Austria, and she had obtained her position as Grand Duke precisely because of Franz.

Liu Zheng was merely a Longyan merchant; Teresa did not quite believe that a country would go to such great lengths for one person.

Franz, whose face had been beaten until it was swollen, waited until the carriage had traveled far away and vanished without a trace before he immediately jumped to his feet and cursed, "You Longyan person, you dare to hit me! Just you wait!"

Teresa snorted coldly, walked up to Frezi, her anger undisguised in her eyes, and sneered, "Lord Frezi, today you slandered and framed the Grand Duke of Austria."

"You had better think about the trial you will face tomorrow."

Having dropped these words, Teresa did not spare another glance at the man who made her feel sick and nauseated, boarded her horse carriage, and sped away.

As for the Nobles who had stayed with the attitude of watching a show, they left one after another, leaving the scene in astonishment.

Franz framing Grand Duke Theresa for having an affair, and a Longyan person angrily beating Franz—the thought of this incident alone was amusing.

However, that Longyan person would likely have a difficult time in Austria from now on.

Although Franz was a shameless scoundrel, he still relied on his powerful family; even Grand Duke Theresa had no Method to deal with him.

It was all because behind him stood the largest family in Austria.

Teresa's rise to become the Grand Duke of Austria was also due to this family.

The Lorraine Family.

The actual controllers of the Duchy of Austria, and Franz's protective amulet.

Count Austin sighed; Liu Zheng had offended Franz, and he himself was powerless to help, as the influence of this family was too vast.

He also did not believe that Longyan would go to great lengths against Austria for the sake of an ordinary person.

Although Longyan had now allied with Frederick II and had even captured a port in Austria, these were all minor skirmishes.

After all, that Chief Councilor of Longyan, Liu Zheng, had not yet truly declared war on Austria.

Soon, the bustling castle of Count Austin creaked.

The castle gates closed, appearing silent and still in the dark night.

Outside the gate, only Franz remained, his face still swollen; thinking of the threats from Teresa and that Longyan person, his expression was full of malice.

He had no Method to deal with Teresa; no matter what, she remained the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Austria, and if his family had to choose between him and Teresa.

He would definitely be abandoned, but that Longyan person.

"Just you wait!"

Franz left this sentence behind and slipped away while clutching his face, a vicious plan already forming in his mind.

……

And at this moment, on the other side of the ocean.

As the war intensified.

Britain and France, in order to compete for maritime hegemony, had even affected their own overseas colonies.

In several clashes in India and Egypt, neither country had won, and neither had lost.

They set their sights on the mysterious, not yet fully developed continent: America.

After several years of development, Britain had already seized large swaths of territory there and immigrated its own people.

As for the original inhabitants under British rule, the Indians were either exiled or slaughtered, disappearing entirely.

France, however, adopted a different policy; they had very few immigrants, but by relying on advanced weapons, they established a slave-based rule.

They occupied the most fertile regions of America, forcing the Indians to become their slaves.

At the same time, they provided aid to Indian tribes, stirred up the anger between the two Indian tribes, and brought endless war and pain to this place.

France was reaping the benefits, relying on one hand to conquer large areas of Indian territory and expand outward.

Britain

and France's spheres of influence had already met, and a war between the two sides was inevitable.

And at this time, in the mountain basin where these two forces met.

Qingyang and Qin Zhangfeng from Longyan had already helped the local Indians build the first city of their own.

"Brother Feng, good morning."

"Teacher Qingyang, good morning."

A group of Indians greeted Qin Zhangfeng and Qingyang in not-so-authentic Longyan Language, and the two smiled and nodded in response.

They had not been here for a short time; it was Qingyang who had taught the local Indians the Longyan Language.

They had learned almost enough; the local Indian languages were different between each tribe, making communication difficult.

And after Qingyang and Qin Zhangfeng helped them build the city, for the sake of better communication.

They did not choose the language of Britain or France.

This group of Indians had all tacitly chosen the Longyan Language, and thus, the Longyan Language became the default language of this city.

Qin Zhangfeng looked at the city he and Qingyang had built with their own hands, feeling immensely proud.

When they arrived at the City Lord Mansion, the most important building in the city, they looked at the map hanging inside.

On it, small Flags in three colors—red, blue, and white—marked the current division of power in America.

The red Flag represented Longyan, the blue Flag represented France, and the white Flag represented Britain.

But at this moment on the map of America, the blue Flags and white Flags covered almost the entire continent.

And there was only one red Flag, which was the basin surrounded by mountains where they were currently located.

"Teacher, is our progress too slow?" Qin Zhangfeng asked.

Their mission in coming here was to develop America, but now the territories of France and Britain were so large, while their own territory was so small.

Moreover, Longyan had now also intervened in Europe, and the situation was already extremely intense.

Caught between the two powers of Britain and France, it is difficult for them to survive.

Qingyang Shuo smiled slightly, without a trace of Qin Zhangfeng's nervousness; he turned his wheelchair, pointed to a location on the map, and said indifferently.

"Heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony."

"This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides and relies on natural barriers; we occupy the geographical advantage."

Qin Zhangfeng nodded; it was indeed so, as this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he believed that the military technology brought over from Longyan would be absolutely fine in the hands of the Indian army.

Speaking of the Indian armed forces, at the beginning, Qin Zhangfeng had expressed doubts about this group of backward Indians.

He thought they were still in the era of eating raw meat and blood, and their weapons were also very backward.

But he did not expect that after Qin Zhangfeng's training, not only had this group of Indians improved significantly, but these simple people also had good character.

"Human harmony—General Qin, do you think we Longyan have achieved human harmony here?" Qingyang Shuo asked in return.

Mentioning this, Qin Zhangfeng smiled slightly; after such a long time.

The Indian tribes here had voluntarily submitted, and they even elected him and Qingyang Shuo to become the City Lords here.

Human harmony—they had absolutely achieved it.

"Naturally." Qin Zhangfeng was quite confident.

Qingyang Shuo asked a question he already knew the answer to, nodded, and suddenly said: "We have achieved human harmony, but if Britain or France were to offer heavy profits to win over those Indian chiefs, we Longyan do not have many people here."

"At that time, what should we do?"
