Chapter 1794: War Descends

Australia, before the dawn arrives.

Tasmania is deathly silent; no one knows that a conflict has quietly erupted.

After Li He was assassinated, the Longyan Soldiers quickly launched an operation.

Judging by the assassin soldiers who died at the scene, it is not difficult to distinguish their identities; they are all French who immigrated to Australia.

Furthermore, they have well-made Muskets in their hands.

Currently, there are only two places on the island where one can obtain gunpowder: one is the Longyan Soldiers.

The other is at Delu's place.

The fact that Delu is hoarding Black Powder is known to the whole city; the answer to who the culprit is is almost self-evident.

The Longyan Soldiers do not hesitate at all; they quickly rush to Delu's mansion.

But Delu is not here at all.

Looking at the traces at the scene, Li He learns from the call girl who was just accompanying Delu that Delu was hurriedly called away by someone.

After obtaining this information, Li He instantly realizes that something is wrong.

"Quick, everyone get ready for battle, return to your posts immediately, and notify the Australian mainland; we need reinforcements!"

The crowd is stunned, not yet having reacted to what is going on.

Clearly, no war has occurred, so why request reinforcements from the Australian mainland?

They completely do not understand why this must be done.

Li He drives them on: "There is no time to explain; you all hurry and notify everyone, war will break out very soon."

Although they do not know why Li He would say this, they all maintain considerable trust in Li He.

Seeing Li He so anxious, they do not continue to say anything more.

These people immediately organize manpower and set off at once.

Li He takes a deep breath; it is not that he is alarmist, but now that a series of clues are connected, Delu is definitely plotting a rebellion to overthrow Xie Fang's regime.

Those who assassinated him were well-trained and equipped with Muskets; these could not possibly be hired killers.

These are definitely elite soldiers who have been trained to carry out assassination missions.

Li He once trained under General Qin Zhangfeng, and at that time, General Qin Zhangfeng had formed such a Special Forces unit.

Every one of them was the elite of the elite, specifically used to carry out various special missions.

Clearly, those assassins are no different from Special Forces.

After the gunshot, they almost

had no hesitation and immediately chose to retreat, because they knew that even if the operation failed, they could not be exposed.

What kind of normal assassin would have such skills?

If it were not for the fact that Li He had once stayed in Qin Zhangfeng's troops and learned how to perform counter-reconnaissance, he would have been able to know the first moment those assassins arrived at his mansion.

Otherwise, his life would have been lost long ago.

……

After the Longyan Soldiers rushed back, they immediately reported Li He's suspicions to their superiors.

But the newly appointed Longyan Soldiers commander had long been bought off by Delu.

He did not take such matters to heart at all.

He even strictly forbade the discussion of such information, believing it to be shaking the morale of the army, and directly had those Longyan Soldiers who spread this information arrested.

Because no one in the Longyan Soldiers valued such information, those who did value it were either arrested or dismissed from their posts.

This gave Delu plenty of time; he issued General Delu's orders to the French Soldier who had long been lurking on the island.

The French Soldier who received the orders gathered quickly.

Before dawn, the battle erupted instantly.

The French Soldier raided key facilities on Tasmania, occupied traffic arteries, and cut off communication between the Longyan Soldiers.

After the barracks were attacked, those Longyan Soldiers generals who had been bought off by Delu finally realized that something was wrong.

But it was too late; the war had already broken out.

Because of the lack of necessary preparations, the attacked Longyan Soldiers were completely at a disadvantage.

The Longyan garrison on Tasmania was not large, only fifty thousand men.

If they had listened to Li He's advice earlier and been prepared, the current situation would not have occurred.

But there are no "ifs"; many of these fifty thousand Longyan Soldiers were blown to death by sudden Cannonball fire before they even had time to join the battle.

The situation was already extremely critical; the newly appointed Longyan Soldiers general thought of urgently sending a signal to request reinforcements from the Australian continent.

But when the newly appointed Longyan Soldiers general arrived at the port, he sadly discovered.

The Yinzhou ships docked at the port had long been occupied by the French troops, and there was not a single ship left that could allow them to go out and deliver a distress message.

At this time, Li He heard the sound of artillery fire and rushed out to see that the outside was already engulfed in the flames of war.

The Longyan Soldiers were almost in a one-

sided situation.

Li He could not help but shed two lines of tears; it was he who had realized it too late.

He rushed onto the street, looking at those Longyan Soldiers who had died in the battle; everything was too late. Exit the transcoding page, please download the app to read the latest chapters.

The war had already broken out; it was he who had realized it too late.

Otherwise, such a situation would not have occurred.

Watching the French troops charging over from the front, Li He's hand gripped his sword hilt tightly; the death of his brothers filled his brain.

At this moment, his fury had surged into his heart; these French Soldier must pay the price for this!

Li He fiercely drew his sword and slaughtered his way toward those French Soldier.

He wanted his brothers to take revenge.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Delu looked at the scenery outside the window and revealed a smile.

Now, the entire Tasmania Island was filled with the sounds of battle—cannon fire, gunfire, shouts of killing... as if composing the most wonderful musical movement.

Playing the prelude to chaos.

Before dawn, the French troops would completely control Tasmania Island.

General Huo En looked at the map; everything was developing exactly as they had anticipated.

"Delu, our troops will soon gain control of this island."

"But our supply lines have not been established, and we now need more time to perfect our defenses."

"Remember, you must secure forty-eight hours; before then, if Australia sends troops, we will find it difficult to resist."

"I have already transmitted our operational plan back to France, and I believe they will receive the information soon."

Huo En turned around, looked at Delu, and said in a deep voice: "Delu, it is time for you to act."

Delu raised his wine glass, the bright red wine appearing exceptionally vivid under the candlelight.

"To our eventual victory!"

"To our eventual victory!"

The two men drank the red wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Delu set down his wine glass, glanced at Huo En, and put on his hat.

The first rays of the morning sun shone out; there was only one ship on the route to Australia, and Delu stood on the deck, looking at the distant Australian continent, revealing a smile.

On this continent were the advanced factories of Longyan, as well as laboratories that could rival those of Longyan.

But all of this would belong to their France.

This day would come very soon.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Delu's mouth.
