Chapter 1876: Telescope and Musket

"Not bad, you are very not bad." Qin Zhangfeng nodded in great approval.

He held the Telescope and said, "It is very impressive that you could think of this Method."

Pan Zhiping was a bit embarrassed by the praise: "General, I thought of this Method during a chance opportunity. Although the Telescope allows me to see further and aim more accurately, our Muskets, especially the long-barreled Muskets..."

"Although they have great power, they are not convenient and are not very suitable for offensive combat."

"They are only suitable for sniping from behind the scenes."

Qin Zhangfeng nodded. He chewed on the name and said, "You are right. This gun is suitable for sniping; its purpose is to take the head of an enemy general from a thousand miles away."

"It is not suitable if one considers close-quarters combat."

Qin Zhangfeng looked at Pan Zhiping and smiled: "Are you interested in joining our Longyan weapons development department? I think a soldier like you with frontline combat experience should be able to create more weapons there."

When Pan Zhiping heard this, his eyes crinkled so much he could barely open them.

"Really, General? Can I enter the weapons development department?"

Qin Zhangfeng nodded, confirming it repeatedly.

Pan Zhiping was struck by immense happiness, his joyful expression overflowing: "I have long had many ideas I wanted to realize, but I never had the chance. Thank you, General, for giving me the opportunity to realize them."

Qin Zhangfeng said again: "No need to thank me; this is a result you earned yourself."

"I also hope you can develop even more powerful weapons for Longyan."

"Then when should I report for duty?"

Qin Zhangfeng spread his hands and said, "If you want to go now, then go now; if you want to go tomorrow, then go tomorrow."

Pan Zhiping did not stay for another minute and immediately headed to the weapons development department.

After Pan Zhiping left, Qin Zhangfeng went to select some Longyan Soldiers, since Pan Zhiping had invented this weapon capable of long-range attacks.

If he did not make good use of it, it would simply be a disservice to Pan Zhiping's invention.

Qin Zhangfeng wanted to establish a sniper unit composed of Longyan Soldiers with good marksmanship, specifically to use for long-range interdiction of enemy important generals and those fire-attack points.

Although this long-barreled Musket cannot serve as the main force for close-quarters combat, and one still has to use those Muskets with a range of about two hundred meters.

But for long-range sniping and sneak attacks, this is a divine weapon.

And at this time, America.

In Longyan City, Qingyang Shuo received news from Yun City.

It was said that a unit claimed to be sent by the Portugal Colonial Area to assist Longyan.

Qingyang Shuo was slightly stunned. They had just reached a cooperation agreement with Portugal, and Longyan City had encountered an attack. If they followed the procedures of other countries, they would definitely have abandoned the Longyan army.

But what Qingyang Shuo did not expect was that the Portugal unit not only did not do so, but instead sent troops to support them.

This shows the determination of Portugal to stand with them.

Qingyang Shuo folded the letter and put it away, saying: "Send someone to Yun City to tell the Portugal unit, thank them for their kindness, but Longyan City is fine. If they are willing to stay in Yun City, they can stay."

"If they are not willing, they can also return to Portugal, and we will cover the expenses."

The attendant beside Qingyang Shuo recorded Qingyang Shuo's words and handed them to the messenger.

Qingyang Shuo looked at the scenery outside the window; the snowy scene no longer existed, and the trees were beginning to turn green again.

But Qingyang Shuo did not feel the arrival of spring at all; it was still cold.

France had already come to attack Longyan City. With such a big move, it was impossible for Britain not to know.

But there had been no news from Britain at all.

They had neither launched any military activities nor assisted Longyan.

Now the stalemate between France and Longyan is like

A pool of stagnant water; if the fish that is Britain comes, it is very likely to stir up this layer of water.

Qingyang Shuo was even a little worried that Britain would not come.

Although this is not the best time, if Britain really chooses to go to war with Longyan in America at this time.

Then their Longyan would have every reason to take advantage of this time to annex the British Colonial District in America.

In one fell swoop, they would become the largest power in North America.

This is not groundless; the Panama Canal is about to be excavated. After the Panama Canal is opened, the Longyan navy can directly pass through the Panama Canal to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

With Longyan's powerful naval strength, wanting to destroy the British colony in America is not a difficult task.

But Qingyang Shuo felt that he might not live to see that day.

Britain was much more cautious than the French troops in this matter.

Qingyang Shuo sighed and shook his head.

The attendant walked over and asked: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about a small matter..."

At this time, the British Colonial District in America.

Daoqi waited in the post-war hospital for three days and finally decided to take a risk.

To kill Qiaozhi and Gelin in the hospital.

But this matter was very risky. The generals who had sold out the general with him at the beginning were now all dragged by Daoqi to share the risk.

Even if the operation failed, Daoqi would drag them along as cushions.

These few generals had no Method at all.

To them, it was also important that Qiaozhi and Gelin died, but now they had the protection of General Amos; if it were really exposed, they would end up dead regardless.

But with death imminent, they felt they could still give it a try. As long as the people who knew about this matter died, they would not be exposed.

Moreover, although they were in the hospital, protected by General Amos's bodyguards, the difficulty of the assassination was very high.

But it is not impossible to succeed.

This matter is still workable.

After thinking of this, they immediately began to take action.

Someone found the design blueprints for the post-war hospital, but when they saw the hospital's design blueprints and the security work involved.

They abandoned the previous plan.

To blow up the entire hospital.

The sturdiness of this hospital building required a massive amount of explosives to destroy, and it was not because they could not obtain this quantity of explosives.

It was because the security forces here were too powerful.

There were eleven patrol teams alone, rotating twenty-four hours a day, and this did not even include General Astimo's bodyguards.

This level of protection, which was almost like a dragnet, caused Daoqi's first plan to miscarry.

So they came up with other ideas, such as hiding poison in the food or creating micro-explosives.

Poison gas, assassination, and a series of other Methods... all ended in failure.

This was a situation with no Method; General Astimo had raised the security level of this hospital to a very high standard, and they had absolutely no Method.

Just when Daoqi was at his wit's end, he suddenly thought of a Method that was not really a Method.

He thought of impersonating the nurses inside.

If anyone could safely enter Qiaozhi and Gelin's room, it would be the nurses or the doctors; they would not be suspected by General Astimo's bodyguards, and even less likely to attract the attention of strangers.

"We might be able to dress up as doctors or bodyguards and go in to give Qiaozhi and Gelin a stab."
