Chapter 1902: Trading Space for Time

His combat methods achieved great results.

Under his interference, the French troops were confused, which bought time for Li He's operations.

Because it had been a retreat operation, their troop casualties were not that severe, but the Battleships and Cannon that Li He had gone to such lengths to produce were all completely destroyed.

Facing the Resistance Army that had already scattered, the French commander suddenly heard an explosion in the distance and, seeing the wolf-smoke rising, knew something was wrong.

The target he was guarding was the armory.

"Quick, fall back to defend!"

"Quick!"

The French commander immediately rode his horse back to defend, but Fake's troops emerged at this moment to entangle them.

This meant the French troops had no Method to march at full speed.

"These Resistance Army soldiers are as annoying as flies!"

On the other side, the Resistance Army led by Li He, after defeating the French troops at the armory, immediately launched a larger-scale operation.

This was just one step in their action plan.

This action plan had only just succeeded, and they had to act as quickly as possible to attack the next stronghold before the enemy troops returned.

Adjust the troops' supply lines.

The fall of the armory was not just received by that one French unit.

As the wolf-smoke rose, many French units realized that the Resistance Army had started a battle.

Late at night, Delu received an urgent military report: "The Resistance Army has launched an all-out war; many French units have been attacked and suffered heavy losses."

Delu raised an eyebrow, slightly stunned; he had not expected the current Resistance Army to still have such strength.

Daring to start an all-out war with them.

Under his policy, a large number of Black Troops were hired, and under the suppression of these Black Slave Troops.

The Resistance Army should have been compressed to the point where they had little strength left.

But looking at it now, that was clearly not the result.

Boom, boom, boom!

Delu lit the gas lamp, opened the door, and saw General Huo En still wearing his pajamas.

General Huo En glanced at him, shoved past Delu, walked in, and with a slap, pressed the night's military report onto the table.

"Delu, didn't you say there were no Longyan City troops left on Tasmania? How did so many troops suddenly pop up?"

"Our soldiers have paid a heavy price because of this!"

Delu lowered his head and said, "I also just received the information. General, isn't it better that these Resistance Army members have exposed themselves? We can take this opportunity to wipe them all out in one go!"

Huo En snorted coldly: "What about Australia?"

"Our main offensive target is Australia!"

"Why waste time on this wretched island?"

Delu deliberated and said: "They have already exposed themselves. Given our troop strength, we can now completely annihilate them all."

General Huo En said again: "Our main force is already conducting an island-landing operation. Tasmania must be stabilized as our rear."

"It cannot be delayed any longer, Delu. You are responsible for the operations on the island. You know we have only so many troops; you should know I cannot order our troops to withdraw for such a wretched island. You know this!"

Delu nodded repeatedly, keeping a very humble posture, but a flash of viciousness crossed his eyes.

"General, you are right. Australia is our target. I will clear out those Resistance Army members."

General Huo En snorted coldly and slammed the door as he left.

With a bang, after Huo En left, Delu's eyes were full of anger.

The French troops were able to land on Tasmania this time because of his management over such a long time.

It was also the result of his hard work over this long period.

Now that they were attacking Australia and about to land, he had not received any credit at all.

Delu quickly regained his cold expression.

He changed his clothes and walked out the door with a profound look in his eyes.

"Resistance Army..." Delu sneered, stepped onto a Horse Carriage, and headed off to an unknown destination.

At this time, in America.

French Colonial Zone.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong received the intelligence sent by Qingyang and submitted it.

"Your Excellency, we have not failed our mission. We have obtained the complete topographic maps of the area near Longyan City, as well as some of the defense maps."

Richard's face lit up with joy. He took them, looked at the two maps, and laughed loudly: "Good! With these two maps, our attack will be much simpler."

Richard looked at the two of them and said: "Very good, you have done well. If this operation is successful, you two will take the top credit."

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong bowed slightly: "This is what we two should do."

"Good, go on. We will need you two to provide more intelligence on Longyan in the future."

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong looked at each other and withdrew.

Richard looked at the map, the smile on his face gradually shifting and changing. He took out another map to compare them.

After looking at both maps, he snorted coldly and threw the maps submitted by Wan Shang and Fang Dalong heavily onto the ground.

"How dare you lie to me!"

The other map in his hand was one that Richard's secret agent had stolen from Wan Shang and Fang Dalong's home.

The two topographic maps were almost identical.

However, on the defense map, the two differed greatly.

The defense map presented by Wan Shang and Fang Dalong was very rough, and much of the information within was not clearly recorded.

The other defense map in Richard's hand, however, recorded the defense situation of Longyan City in detail.

Although Fang Dalong had saved Richard, he did not trust these two people; after all, they were Longyan, and having two Longyan collect intelligence on Longyan.

It carried a bit of a probing nature, and furthermore, it was to see whether these two were loyal to him.

Now it seems they are not loyal and even have some ulterior motives.

Just at this moment, the general who was supervising the battle at the front rushed back.

Seeing Richard's furious appearance, he immediately requested to speak, saying: "Sir, what has happened? Why are you so angry?"

Richard gestured with his chin toward the defense map on the ground and said in a deep voice: "I was almost deceived by two dogs."

The general picked up the defense map on the ground and took a look; the information on it was very sparse, and the Longyan defense situation that could be determined was even more pitifully little.

The general frowned and said: "Such a defense map can be used, but it is of little use; too much information has been concealed."

"Take a look at this one," Richard handed the other Longyan military defense map to the general.

When the general saw the other defense map, his expression changed drastically.

"Sir, where did you get this defense map? With it, our subsequent operations will be much simpler."

Richard let out a cold snort and said indifferently: "They both came from the hand of the same person."

The general was stunned and compared them again; the gap between these two defense maps was extremely large.

The general snorted coldly: "Now there is no doubt that this detailed defense map is the real one. Sir should severely punish these two villains!"

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "No rush, keep them; I still have a use for them."

"Take these two maps and give them to Kenteer; tell him I am waiting here for news of his triumphant return."

"Do not let me down!"

"Yes!"

The general said in a deep voice: "I will certainly not fail the mission!"

He turned and left, and the corners of Richard's mouth curled upward; this kind of battle would become devoid of suspense.
