Chapter 1775: A Letter Home

Qin Zhangfeng looked at him, and both fell into silence.

He knew exactly what Qiaozhi wanted to say next; it was nothing more than asking for help to return to the British Front.

But what Qiaozhi said next caught him quite by surprise.

"General Qin Zhangfeng, I would like to ask for your help to return to the front line and seize control from the commander."

Qin Zhangfeng was stunned, feeling quite surprised.

He had not expected Qiaozhi to make such a request.

Qiaozhi pleaded again: "Our British Front is on the verge of collapse. I implore the General to help us, at least let me obtain command of the front line."

Qin Zhangfeng shook his head, stopping Qiaozhi from speaking further.

He said: "I am sorry Qiaozhi, we in Longyan do not wish to join this war right now."

"As you can see, we only have over a thousand Longyan soldiers, and these forces are needed to maintain the stability of Longyan Third City; they cannot be deployed."

"I can only help you return to the front line."

"I will provide you with sufficient supplies and weapons, but for other matters, we in Longyan cannot help you now," Qin Zhangfeng said apologetically.

Qiaozhi sighed; he had long known he would receive such an answer.

But he had still held onto hope when asking.

Qiaozhi nodded: "Alright, I understand. Regardless, I must thank you for your generosity."

Qin Zhangfeng helped Qiaozhi replenish his supplies and sent men to escort them to the British Front.

For Qiaozhi, this was already enough.

With the escort of the Longyan soldiers, their British Front would have a greater advantage.

As for the French Soldier who had led Qiaozhi out of the jungle, Qiaozhi gave him a Bullet without hesitation.

In his words, the Lord's promises are made to people.

And not made to anything else.

In his eyes, Indians were born guilty, as slaves beyond redemption.

That the French Soldier possessed Indian blood was the greatest insult to him; he absolutely would not allow such a person to exist.

Moreover, letting a French Soldier leave alive was not an extremely dangerous thing for them.

The current high-level commanders of the British Front were in an unclear situation, but at least it was certain that someone had definitely defected.

News of their return could not let the French know, lest they encounter misfortune.

Qiuer expressed anger over Qiaozhi killing that French Soldier.

He believed this was an act of treachery.

Regarding this, Qiaozhi did not offer much explanation.

But under Qiaozhi's leadership, everyone still arrived safely at the British Front.

Seeing the fortress ahead, Qiaozhi felt as complex as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned.

He did not know what kind of commanders Gelin was facing here, or why such a situation had been caused.

……

At this time, Europe.

Britain.

Newton invented calculus, and a scholar in Prussia also invented calculus.

The two triggered an academic debate because of this.

Newton received strong support from the Bulidian Huangjia Xueyuan, and they all believed the Prussian scholar had plagiarized Newton.

Newton did not like the Bitter Remonstrance, but the other party had published the plagiarism in the newspapers.

Claiming it was his own research achievement, this was something Newton could not tolerate at all.

Newton wrote a letter to him, asking him to come out and explain what was going on.

Far away in Prussia, Leibniz was also shocked after receiving Newton's letter; he had studied calculus for so long, only for someone else to have researched the same theory.

Leibniz had never expected such a situation to arise.

To prove that he was the scholar who had researched calculus, Leibniz immediately set off for Britain.

He launched a debate with Newton.

Hu Xi'er and Mo Cheng's eyes lit up when they saw Leibniz.

They were very clear about the situation in Prussia; during the Great Age of Discovery, Prussia was caught in internal strife, missing the opportunity for development.

Later, Frederick II gradually strengthened his country during the wave of the Industrial Revolution.

They had not expected that a country like Prussia could cultivate a mathematician capable of being mentioned in the same breath as Newton.

After the two of them and Newton came into contact with Leibniz and saw the other's research manuscripts, they knew everything.

This research manuscript was in a completely different direction from Newton's research on calculus.

But both men had proven the existence of calculus using different methods.

Based on this point alone, it could be inferred that both Leibniz and Newton were people who had researched calculus.

Newton had only researched it two days earlier than Leibniz.

Yet Leibniz had published it a step earlier than Newton.

Newton informed the Bulidian Huangjia Xueyuan of this result, but this group of people expressed that they could not accept such a result at all.

They still believed that Leibniz had plagiarized Newton's research findings.

Newton was furious because of this.

"Newton, let it go. People are only willing to believe what they want to see; you don't need to say anything more," Mo Cheng said, stopping him.

Newton looked at him, let out a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Sometimes, I am truly disappointed with this country!"

He gave a cold snort and turned to leave the Royal Research Academy of Britain.

He felt ashamed and angry that he had no Method to prove the innocence of Leibniz, yet he was helpless.

He had no Method to change the thoughts of others.

Now, the research and development of the Fearless battleship has entered its final stage.

There was no longer any need for Newton to do anything, so after returning home, he began to pack his bags.

Hu Xi'er frowned as she looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Newton did not look at her; he placed all his research notes into a leather suitcase, as he did not want to stay in Britain for even a moment longer.

"Leave here, go to Longyan, go anywhere, in short, I do not want to stay in this place that makes me angry."

Hu Xi'er was stunned; she looked at Mo Cheng beside her and asked in a low voice:

"What is wrong with him? Why does he suddenly want to leave here and go to Longyan?"

"What did you say to him?"

Mo Cheng shook his head and said: "It is not like that, the matter is as follows..."

Mo Cheng recounted what had happened inside the Royal Academy once more.

After listening, Hu Xi'er nodded.

"Oh, so that is how it is."

"However, if we leave Britain now, we have no preparations at all; isn't it a bit too rushed to leave?"

Mo Cheng pondered for a moment and called out: "Brother Newton, we are all key personnel under surveillance by Britain now; have you thought about how we are going to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Newton immediately stopped organizing his research plans; he looked at Mo Cheng, frowned, and asked: "Does it need thinking? Isn't it fine to just leave?"

Hu Xi'er covered her face, and Mo Cheng pressed his hand to his head.

This sounded like such a simple answer: just leave.

"Have you forgotten how we were stopped by British Soldiers the last time we tried to leave, and aren't there still British Soldiers watching your house nearby?"

"Ah?" Newton only then realized the severity of the situation.

He hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do? I really cannot stay in this godforsaken place for even a minute longer."

Hu Xi'er thought for a moment and said: "Mo Cheng, write a letter to Longyan; the New Year is almost here, we should be going back too."
