Chapter 1767: Stealing a Bicycle

"Bonaparte, haven't you also been consistently repeating that we should learn more advanced experience from the Longyan, which is beneficial to our development? Why are you rejecting such a statement now?"

Sals said, feeling puzzled.

They had discussed this issue before, especially regarding the Battle of Dresden, where the Longyan army achieved victory in this battle at almost negligible cost.

At the time, both Bonaparte and Sals believed this was attributable to the Longyan's technological level, which surpassed the present.

After all, although people had wanted to manufacture things that could fly in the sky for a very long time, it seems only the Longyan have succeeded now.

And they even applied this invention to warfare.

Furthermore, there is the power of Longyan gunpowder; they do not know why the power of Longyan gunpowder is clearly greater for the same substance.

At the time, both Bonaparte and Sals had imagined that if they were to choose a country to go to in the future, the first choice would definitely be Longyan.

They would go to learn the other side's advanced experience.

"If we can choose, why not follow the result we discussed initially and go to Longyan?"

Bonaparte pointed to the old objects in the Count's mansion: "We can replace these things with new ones, but the land beneath our feet is still Corsica."

"If you bring Longyan knowledge to this land and no one understands it, what then? It would be just like the newly invented Steam Engine."

"One of us must find the current shortcomings of France, so that in future changes, we will have more definite goals."

"Rather than having the order established by Longyan overturned and returning to the past," Bonaparte said as such.

He turned around to look at the two elders, his body leaning forward: "Father, Uncle."

"If you truly are doing this so that we can better cope with future sudden situations, you should let Sals go to Longyan, and I will go to the French mainland."

"For us, this is the best choice."

Bonaparte looked at the two of them with a firm gaze.

Count Carlo and Sals's father looked at each other and spread their hands.

He said: "Fine, there is no problem with that."

Count Carlo walked over and looked at Bonaparte: "My son, you are the young man with the most foresight on this island, which is why your uncle and I wanted to find a way to send you out of Corsica to the French mainland."

"Alright, now the war does not leave much time for this island; they must depart as soon as possible."

……

At this time, America.

In the jungle, Qiaozhi led Qiuer and a group of volunteers, traveling through the jungle relying on limited intelligence scouted out by the Telescope.

They were lucky; on the second day after obtaining the Telescope, they successfully arrived at one of the high points in the jungle.

The terrain here is hilly, belonging to a shortcut to the Ohio River front.

This was originally a backup route for their British troops to retreat, but they did not expect it to have already been occupied by French troops.

Qiaozhi climbed to the treetop and looked into the distance through the Telescope.

"There are no signs of the French Army in the Northeast direction, but our British positions are in the Northwest direction. Unfortunately, from here I can see that French troops are stationed in at least three places."

Qiaozhi came down from the tree and looked at the group: "Perhaps we should think about how to bypass these French troops and safely reach the front line."

The group retorted: "Why go to the front line? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Northeast and return to Britain?"

"I no longer want to enter this war; I want to go home."

Qiaozhi looked at the group and said: "When we became part of the Expeditionary Force, we could no longer go back."

He looked again at the silent Qiuer and said: "Qiuer, you should know this."

The group looked at Qiuer.

Qiuer sighed: "Qiaozhi is right; we cannot go back now."

"If we return to Britain now instead of heading to the front line, we are deserters. If caught, we will have to bear very serious consequences, perhaps even death."

Someone among the group asked: "We are the people who survived from the Expeditionary Force; they shouldn't know."

Qiaozhi let out a laugh: "That is where you are overthinking; we are likely already listed as fallen."

"If you return alive to the safe British Colonial District now, what will those people think?"

"Can they tolerate you living and returning like this?"

"Only by going to the front line is there hope of living."

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent. Qiuer stood up, looking at everyone whose heads seemed to be pressed down by dark clouds, their entire hearts stained with the haze of death.

He did not speak, but walked to Qiaozhi's side.

He gave a look: "What are you still waiting for?"

"We must hurry to the front line to end this war."

The group watched as Qiaozhi and Qiuer walked at the very front of the team, their inner hearts undergoing a brief yet violent struggle.

Finally, they all followed the team one after another.

……

At this time, Europe.

Tsarist Russia had already established a new intelligence agency, and those spies within the Ottoman Empire were all mobilized.

The goal was only one: to spy out the movements of the Longyan army and the Ottoman Army.

Under the instruction of Naleishi, a powerful intelligence system was established. Although the intelligence of the Longyan army belonged to highly classified information.

But under Naleishi's deduction by gathering various information, a very accurate conclusion was still reached.

They even learned the reason why the Longyan people were able to march rapidly in a short time and succeed against the Russian Army.

This made Naleishi feel the terror of the Longyan now.

Surprised by the rapid development of Longyan technology, it had already exceeded their imagination.

The Longyan people developed a Variable Speed Device, which was a transmission device made using a few things called Gears and a Chain.

Although they did not know how it was operated or how it was manufactured.

However, this thing was indeed researched by the Longyan into something called a Bicycle, which runs extremely fast.

This allowed the Longyan to have a marching speed that surpassed most Cavalry.

In war, speed is of the essence!

That is the principle being spoken of.

"Find a Method to get our hands on this device; only with this device can we match the Longyan army in speed, otherwise in the coming wars, we will only be led by the nose by them."

After Naleishi's order was issued, their spies soon began the action plan for the 'Steal the Bicycle' project.

At this moment, within the territory of Poland occupied by the Ottoman.

A large group of so-called Tsarist Russia agents gathered together to discuss how to steal the Bicycles from the hands of the Longyan.

They took stock of the places where these Bicycles were kept, all of which were in the most heavily guarded, highest-level military bases of the Ottoman.

Ordinary people who lingered there for even a minute would be dragged in by the Ottoman army for three days of strict interrogation.

As for entering these military bases using abnormal methods, they thought about it.
