Chapter 1376: The Egyptian Battlefield

Franz is dead.

The Duke of Lorraine has been sentenced, and the era of the Lorraine Family has come to a complete end because they offended a Longyan.

The fire lasted for an entire night.

The chaos continued until the next day, and this farce finally ended with Teresa's pacification.

There will be no investigation into the responsibilities of these commoners tonight; the Duke of Lorraine got what he deserved.

Many Nobles in Vienna suffered huge losses this night because they were people of the Duke of Lorraine.

After this night, Liu Zheng was nowhere to be found.

Teresa looked at the castle that was once familiar yet strange, feeling somewhat dazed.

Liu Zheng did not spend much time in Vienna, but he left an unforgettable impression on Teresa for the rest of her life.

"Sigh, I hope he can return to Longyan safely."

At this moment, Victor and Austin walked over with serious and earnest expressions: "Grand Duke Theresa, there is urgent military intelligence waiting for you to handle; I hope you will not be decadent."

"Mm." Teresa nodded and looked at the sky; if she could, she really would not want to be the Archduchess of Austria anymore.

But she still followed the two of them out.

And at this time, Liu Zheng and the Prince of Yong had already left the city.

Liu Zheng looked at Vienna with deep emotion; he did not expect that when they finally left, Teresa would still help them.

The city was in a state of chaos, and although they had originally left the city, when they reached the city gate, they were let out without the slightest obstruction.

"Chief Councilor, what shall we do next?" the Prince of Yong asked.

Liu Zheng grinned: "Naturally, it is to assist our friend, Frederick."

"I heard that he has encountered no small obstacles; let us first return to our port city and rendezvous with the main army!"

……

At this time, Egypt.

The troops of Jiang Xuan and Nashadier had already captured the French Colonial Area.

Thanks to Louis XV issuing the order to attack the British Colonial Area, one of the two most important port cities for France in Egypt, otherwise Jiang Xuan and Nashadier would not have been able to take this city so easily.

At this moment, the French Army that was on an expedition to Britain did not yet know that their port city had been shamelessly raided.

The French Army general, Sashaer, was currently immersed in the shameless raid on Britain's most important city.

The Nile Delta region, which is almost the lifeline of Egypt, is rich in resources and is one of the few treasures in this arid country.

Moreover, it also has extremely important strategic significance, being close to the Suez Canal, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the Suez Canal belongs to Longyan, it is relatively simple to attack and occupy the Suez Canal from Cairo.

The Suez Canal is the lifeline transport channel for the European economy; it is now controlled by the Longyan, but who does not covet this canal?

It is just that France needs this canal more; the Suez Canal can greatly reduce the difficulties in French transportation.

Many of France's strategic materials need to pass through the Suez Canal to be shipped to Asia and America.

Britain's Geography does not require reliance on this Suez Canal to transport its own materials to the country or ship them out.

Therefore, it is better for the Suez Canal to be in one's own hands than in the hands of one's enemies.

France and Britain have been bitter enemies for hundreds of years; Sashaer was very excited when he snatched this important city from Britain.

Although the Suez Canal is still in the hands of Longyan, it is already within reach of falling into his own hands.

At least there is already such an opportunity.

"Issue the order to have our city quickly transport materials and soldiers; this city must absolutely not be lost."

Sashaer issued the order and soon sent people back to their port city to transmit the intelligence.

Report to the ruler of France, Louis XV, that they have already obtained Britain's important city, Cairo.

Although the losses this time were quite large, by capturing Cairo, France's

strength will be further strengthened.

Moreover, several very important cities downstream in this Egypt region are basically under his own control; Britain has already lost this war in Egypt.

Sashaer imagined that in this Egypt, they, France, probably had no opponents.

Longyan?

The main force of Longyan's million-strong army is in Austria; in that place of the Suez Canal, there are only Jiang Xuan and Nashadier.

I heard they were almost defeated by the British before.

It can be seen that Longyan's combat power is not very good.

Thinking of this, Sashaer grinned; the current France's war situation in America has fallen into a stalemate, although they have obtained a gold mine with extremely high gold content.

However, because they are at odds with Longyan City over there in America, materials cannot be shipped out, and reinforcements cannot get in; unless they can take down a port city, otherwise, that gold mine is basically wasted.

And at sea, ever since their country's fleet was defeated by Longyan's Supply Ship, they have been unable to hold their heads up, and they have not gained any advantage in clashes with Britain.

Now it seems that only he has achieved a major victory in Egypt, capturing Britain's important city and realizing a blockade along the Mediterranean Sea coast.

As for the control of the Suez Canal, that is also a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Sashaer's mood was completely relaxed; it seems his military merit will definitely be rewarded with the title of Count.

Just at this moment, a person rushed into Sashaer's office urgently.

"Officer, it's bad!"

Sashaer frowned; it must be that those British people have killed their way over again. He swept away his previous state and rose abruptly from the table.

"Everyone, prepare for battle; it must be that those British people have killed their way over!"

Sashaer snorted coldly; although the British were defeated by him, they still had troops in Egypt.

Although he had long expected that they would come to snatch this city, he did not expect it to be so fast, as he had only occupied it for a short while.

"Why, are you not going quickly to convey my order? If you delay the military situation, I will hold you solely responsible!"

Sashaer saw that soldier standing motionless and reprimanded him.

The soldier immediately said, "Sir, the British have not arrived yet."

Sashaer was stunned; they hadn't arrived?

If there were no enemies, where did this urgent military intelligence come from?

"What kind of false military report is this? Do you believe I can execute you on the spot right now!" Sashaer raged.

It was all this new recruit's fault for ruining his good mood for the day.

"Report, sir, a military dispatch has come from our port; our garrison has been completely wiped out, and the port has been occupied by the Longyan Army!"

The new recruit said solemnly.

Sashaer was instantly dumbfounded; he grabbed the soldier by the collar and shouted, "What, say that again!"

"Report, sir, the port is now Longyan territory."

"We have lost it."

Seeing the soldier's firm expression, Sashaer could not believe it; he slumped powerlessly into his chair, staring at the sky—lost?

How could it be lost?

It was perfectly fine when he arrived.

Longyan was so far away from there, how could it be possible to launch a surprise attack on his port city?

A series of question marks raced through his mind, but he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
