Chapter 1885: True and False, False and True

Within a few days, Qingyang Shuo received intelligence reports from Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.

Seeing this news, Qingyang Shuo chuckled, and looking at Qin Zhangfeng, he smiled.

"General Qin, the French side simply cannot wait to annihilate you all."

"They are currently searching for terrain maps and troop deployment charts."

Qin Zhangfeng nodded: "This is about the same as the information I recently obtained; that kid Kenteer also sent people to map out the terrain of Longyan City."

"It seems they want to launch an attack on our Longyan Army as soon as possible."

Qingyang Shuo pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps we can make something of this matter."

Qin Zhangfeng appeared to be listening intently, and Qingyang Shuo said indifferently: "Perhaps we can..."

As he listened, Qin Zhangfeng's expression changed more and more.

"Sir, this plan is indeed good, but wouldn't doing this also reveal our own troop deployment information to the enemy?"

"Wouldn't it be better if it were all fake news?"

Qingyang Shuo shook his head: "Not so, not so."

"True is false, false is true."

"Only when there is truth within the falsehood will the French be more likely to believe that this intelligence is genuine."

"General Qin, that cartographer you captured still has great use; make him one of our own, find an opportunity to release them, and remember to be discreet."

Qin Zhangfeng's heart stirred, and looking at the expression of Mr. Qingyang Shuo, the corners of both their mouths lifted into knowing smiles.

"Understood."

At this time, Australia.

On the Australian battlefield, Li He now felt grateful that he had not wasted those study courses while in the Longyan Army.

Because of the practicality of these courses, Li He used the knowledge he had learned on Tasmania to organize a group of Longyan Army soldiers, and by relying on salvaged discarded machinery and books, they actually managed to set up a simple workshop during this period.

Relying on it, they actually equipped that small boat, which was outfitted with two cannons, with a Steam Engine.

This greatly improved their maneuverability for maritime combat.

The Longyan Army began to be grateful for why Qin Zhangfeng and Lord Liu Zheng had pushed for these study courses so forcefully in the beginning.

Now they also sincerely thanked Li He, the top student who had been able to score first in his class during the examinations in the troops.

Relying on the knowledge Li He learned, the surviving troops of the Longyan Army grew increasingly stronger.

Harassing the French troops also became more and more adept.

Under such circumstances of lacking supplies, the various tactics they developed and the simply-made weapons they produced could all cause no small amount of damage to the French troops.

But there were also failures, and as for the price of failure, it was heavy...

However, as time passed, the reputation of this troop led by Li He grew larger and larger.

The warship equipped with a Steam Engine that Li He manufactured actually performed a meritorious deed.

Relying on that ship's steam power and two cannons, they took advantage of when the French troops were attacking Australia.

They raided a port once, sank a large ship, and temporarily destroyed the port.

This raid directly brought Li He's reputation to its peak.

On this small island, such news spread very quickly.

Other troops, whether they were remnants of the Longyan Army or guerrilla forces formed by local indigenous people.

Came one after another to pay their respects.

Although they had no interest in Li He's rank of Commander, they were very interested in Li He's supplies.

France now controlled most of the combat supplies on the island, and these troops were not all as lucky as Li He's troops.

Possessing a Li He who could produce supplies.

Relying on these supplies, Li He quickly won over a group of troops.

And the direct impact of the growth of the guerrilla forces was that Delu and Huo En could no longer sit still.

After the guerrilla forces expanded, they.

Conducted more harassment against the French troops.

Their idea of wanting to rely on Tasmania to attack the Australian continent was also gradually being broken.

"Delu, put aside the war at sea for now; I need you to gather troops to attack these flies, especially Li He's troops—they must be destroyed!"

Huo En slammed the table in anger and said coldly.

Delu let out a breath and said: "General, we can send troops to wipe them out, but there are many indigenous inhabitants on Tasmania, and I believe their existence is hindering our combat plan."

Huo En raised an eyebrow and said indifferently: "Whoever hinders our French troops from fighting, kill them; I do not wish to hear any more intelligence about where Li He's Longyan Army has raided."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Delu nodded: "Understood!"

And just at this moment, a guard came in to report: "Report General, Li He's Longyan Army has raided our small armory once again."

"We lost one ton of Black Powder, two hundred Muskets..."

Huo En's expression froze, then the veins on his forehead bulged, and he slammed the table in anger, making a huge sound.

He looked at Delu coldly; Delu let out a muffled snort, his expression turned cold, and he walked out angrily.

Behind him came General Huo En's cold and harsh words: "Kill them all; all we need is the Factory here, nothing else is important!"

Delu did not stop his footsteps; he immediately went to gather the troops.

And on the other side, Li He had just finished raiding the French small armory.

"Move fast, destroy what you can't take; we must withdraw from here before the French troops arrive."

The Dragon Flame Army now led by Li He is no longer just the Dragon Flame Army, but a United Army of the remnants of the Dragon Flame Army and the guerrilla forces on the island.

Li He calls it the Tasmania United Army, or United Army for short.

Looking at these supplies, Li He's mouth curled into a grin, even though he has not yet made contact with Australia.

However, based on observations over this period, fewer and fewer French battleships are returning intact.

This means they are getting closer to victory.

And during this time, because of their surprise attacks, the French navy's operational frequency has inevitably decreased.

This is a good sign for them.

Li He believes that if they continue to fight, they will eventually achieve victory.

However, they cannot always rely on this method of seizing supplies.

This method is not safe for Li He.

For the troops, it will also cause irreparable damage; their offensive mode should be harassment, rather than targeted attacks on important French areas.

They won this time, but the next time could be a failure.

It is impossible for them to succeed every single time.

Moreover, Li He understands that there are not many troops that can truly be deployed at his command; even within the Dragon Flame Army, there are units that do not follow his orders.

The current surface-level cooperation is merely putting in the minimum effort to exchange for the maximum benefit, to exchange for the supplies in his hands.

Li He is contemplating in his mind whether there is a possibility that could allow these units under his command that do not follow his orders to take the initiative.

They could also fight harassment battles, and ideally, it would allow him to replenish supplies.

Li He thought for a moment; right now, he is the only one on the entire Tasmania island who can provide supplies.

An idea gradually took shape in his mind.

He can now be said to have a monopoly on the island's supply chain.

If the troops want to obtain supplies, they can only ask him.

Wait, this is just like the merchants in Longyan who conduct certain businesses.

By monopolizing the supply of the upstream and downstream, one can set the price of goods themselves; this is also the reason why some goods can be sold so expensively.
