Chapter 1364: The Cannon of Longyan Fire

America, Longyan City.

Qingyang Shuo took the British Captain Gelin to view the cannon that had just fired the salute.

Captain Gelin took a rough look, but his eyes were full of surprise.

This is the equipment of Longyan? It is worthy of being a powerful kingdom in the mysterious East to be able to produce such a weapon.

"These are all things phased out by our Longyan, now used for things like salutes," Qingyang Shuo said nonchalantly.

Captain Gelin looked unconvinced; after experiencing the Industrial Revolution, their British technical level had advanced by leaps and bounds.

But a cannon of this standard was the highest level in Britain.

Captain Gelin paused his steps and said, "Qingyang Xiansheng Shuo, I know your Longyan weapons are superior, and you also said just now that you would take me to see your newest cannon. Why haven't I seen it yet?"

Captain Gelin's eyes sharpened as he said, "It wouldn't be that you don't have one, would it?"

Qingyang Shuo chuckled a few times without speaking, instead walking straight toward the building ahead.

The fish had already taken the bait; next, he would have to reel it in slowly.

Captain Gelin's face was full of disdain, thinking to himself that these Longyan people just loved to do these mysterious things.

But he still followed; it was already very late, and the doors to the building were open, but it was impossible to see what was inside.

This was a vital military supply area, so open flames were not allowed.

After Qingyang Shuo went in with a few soldiers, he soon came back out.

"Respected friend, what I want to show you now is the most powerful cannon we currently have in Longyan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Gelin's expression changed; he saw a heavy, archaic cannon barrel being pushed out from the dark building.

Even though it was dim, to a veteran of the battlefield like Captain Gelin, this cannon was gleaming.

It was as if it were the most dazzling light in the darkness.

Captain Gelin stepped forward quickly to view this cannon by the dim moonlight.

The more Captain Gelin looked, the more his brows furrowed; as a veteran, he didn't need to look too much to judge whether a cannon was good or not.

The cannon before his eyes simply exceeded the imagination in his heart; it was truly capable.

This level of craftsmanship was countless times higher than what they had in Britain.

"How is it?" Qingyang Shuo asked with a smile.

Seeing this cannon, Qingyang Shuo felt reluctant to part with it, but you have to lose a calf to catch a cow.

Qingyang Shuo knew this cannon was truly powerful, with extreme lethality.

Even in Longyan, it was extremely difficult to manufacture such a cannon.

Not to mention the high cost, the materials used were also very hard to find.

This time they came to America, they had only brought five such cannons.

"Hmm, respected Qingyang Xiansheng, according to my estimation, this cannon has large-scale destructive capability, and it is lightweight, making it very suitable for jungle marches."

Captain Gelin couldn't put it down; they in Britain were currently at war with France.

The location of the battle was in mountains and jungles.

Heavy weapons like cannons could not be used, but seeing this cannon, Captain Gelin thought of a possibility: the possibility of using heavy weapons in jungle warfare!

He made a prompt decision; although he was only a captain, his authority in Britain was still quite large.

"Respected Qingyang Xiansheng, may I ask if we in Britain could purchase one of these cannons?" Captain Gelin asked with very little confidence.

"The price can be discussed."

After saying this, Captain Gelin knew he had been too impatient; after all, this was Longyan's most powerful cannon at the current stage, and it would be a miracle if Qingyang Shuo agreed immediately.

Qingyang Shuo glanced at him and, instead of answering the question, said, "Haha, Captain Gelin, you haven't eaten Longyan cuisine yet, have you?"

"To thank you for sending our two merchants over, I have specially set up a banquet at the City Lord Mansion to host you."

Qingyang Shuo said mysteriously, "This time, there are good things that you wouldn't even be able to taste in Britain."

Captain Gelin was somewhat disappointed, but this was within his expectations; after all, this kind of cannon could not be sold to them right away.

Although Britain and Longyan were currently in a cooperative relationship in America, such military equipment was still very sensitive.

But Captain Gelin was not disheartened by this.

Qingyang Shuo led the way, feeling a sense of relief, and they soon arrived at the City Lord Mansion.

Captain Gelin looked at the dishes Qingyang Shuo had prepared and was stunned; they had never eaten such delicacies in Britain.

What they ate most in Britain was potatoes, and they had even developed a hundred ways to eat them.

But they had never eaten Longyan cuisine.

"Mm, not bad, delicious, delicious," Captain Gelin praised with every bite.

"Thank you for the praise. According to our Longyan rules, at the dinner table, we must have a drink!"

Don't look at Qingyang Shuo as old and disabled, but he didn't hesitate at all when it came to drinking; he downed a cup of this fierce, murderous-spirited Yinzhou Drunk in one gulp.

Seeing Qingyang Shuo's enthusiasm, Captain Gelin was likely infected by his mood and said in broken Longyan, "Have a drink."

Glancing at the small cup Qingyang Shuo was using to drink, Captain Gelin very disdainfully poured the wine into a bowl.

Let you Longyan people see how we British drink.

He also imitated Qingyang Shuo, picked up the wine bowl, and drained it in one gulp.

He usually drank like this in the army; he thought, what difference could Longyan wine have from his own British wine?

The fierce liquor entered his throat, burning, and suddenly the aroma of the wine rushed into his brain; Captain Gelin was shocked and looked at the wine cup.

Although Yinzhou Drunk was famous, not everyone had drunk it.

Captain Gelin had never heard of it in the army, and he was known as someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

"What kind of wine is this? The taste is very special."

Qingyang Shuo watched him drain the cup in one gulp and was instantly stunned; he was used to drinking this liquor in Longyan, and he always used a small cup.

But this fellow, he took a whole bowl in one go, drinking like this… impressive!

"Are you alright?" Qingyang Shuo asked.

Captain Gelin only felt a bit dizzy before his eyes, the fumes of the liquor rising to his head; his fair skin flushed red, and he swayed as he said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I can still..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he fell headfirst onto the table and passed out.

Although he was a soldier, his tolerance for alcohol was not high, and since it was his first time drinking this kind of strong liquor, he naturally got drunk.

The other British people present were stunned after seeing their superior officer collapse.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.

Qingyang Shuo was also stunned; he had not expected Captain Gelin to get drunk so directly.

The other British guards looked at the wine pot on the table with unfriendly gazes, wondering what on earth was inside it.

It certainly wasn't poison, as the Longyan person from just a moment ago had drunk the same thing.

Just at this moment, Captain Gelin, who had been drunk under the table, suddenly said, "Good wine... I, I can still drink more!"

The British guards looked at the wine pot on the table strangely; this thing was actually liquor, and a single cup of this stuff could actually knock Captain Gelin out?
