Chapter 1945: A Carefully Laid Plan

At this moment, in the Spanish Colonial Area.

The Spanish Commander had already learned that the 30,000-man force he sent to attack Yun City...

... had encountered an ambush by the Longyan Army just after entering the sphere of influence of Yun City, and now the entire unit was in a state of lost contact.

And at this time, the Spanish Commander received an urgent message.

"Report to the Commander, the general has returned."

The Spanish Commander stood up abruptly and said urgently, "Quickly call him in."

After the Spanish commander entered, he paid respects to the Spanish Commander.

He said in a deep voice, "Commander, we received false intelligence, the entire army..."

The Spanish Commander stepped forward two paces, grabbed his arm to stop him from bowing, and said in a deep voice, "How many of the troops did you bring back?"

After receiving the intelligence that they had lost contact, the Spanish Commander knew that this operation was ominous and would certainly be a defeat.

But there are degrees of failure.

If a significant number of troops could still survive and they had not lost their main force, that would be the best thing for them.

However, the face of the Spanish commander turned pale instantly; the general who was once like steel seemed to have suffered a major blow.

Seeing his expression, the Commander froze and asked, "Did you bring back a force of 10,000?"

The Spanish commander shook his head blankly.

"Five thousand?"

There should at least be that many, the Spanish Commander thought, but he watched as the commander's head continued to shake.

He sensed that something was wrong, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "How many people did you actually bring back? Tell me directly!"

The Spanish commander did not speak, and the others did not speak either.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence; finally, the Commander's personal guard whispered a few words into his ear, and his complexion changed drastically.

He looked at his commander in complete disbelief.

"A force of 30,000, and you only brought back a dozen or so people?"

"Ah!" The Commander's earth-shattering roar echoed throughout the entire palace.

The commander looked blankly at the furious Commander and said, "We encountered an ambush by the Longyan Army."

"The troops were scattered."

"The supply column was lost, and I don't know the current status of the remaining troops."

"But, only a few of us survived."

"Commander, this battle was clearly self-directed and self-acted by the Longyan Army; they designed a trap for us to jump into!"

"I will not make excuses for myself; after encountering the ambush, my command was correct."

"But in this battle, we cannot see any hope of victory."

The Commander looked at the commander with a cold expression; that was a loss of a 30,000-man main force.

It was not a small number; the Spanish in the South America colonies only had a total of over 300,000 people, and this one blow wiped out their most important main force.

The situation would be critical from now on, and they would only be able to defend passively.

Not only did they have to guard against the Longyan Army, but also the troops of their neighbor, the Portugal colony.

They had harbored hatred for over a century.

Having lost such a force, they would face the threat of Portugal troops for a long time to come.

And they would no longer have the ability to attack Longyan's Yun City or seize that Golden Waterway.

"You deserve to die!"

The Commander said coldly, and he waved his hand; his guards beheaded the remaining soldiers and the commander all together.

Since the entire army was wiped out anyway, a few more deaths made no difference to them, the Spanish.

After thinking of this, the Spanish Commander sighed.

The top priority now was to find a Method to curb the further

deterioration of the situation.

He could no longer fight the Longyan Army; if it continued, their current Spanish colonies might not even be preserved!

After thinking of this, the Spanish Commander said, "Prepare the horses, prepare the ships; I want to go to Longyan City in person to negotiate peace..."

Negotiating peace was his only choice now.

At this moment, Egypt.

After Jiang Xuan established a supply line on the Nile River.

Their front line was completely stabilized.

However, Nashadier's rear operations had fallen into a very difficult situation.

The French troops were blockading the area.

Nashadier had already controlled the area of the Sugela Tribe, but after experiencing several battles, the number of people in their troops had dropped sharply.

Even without experiencing these battles, they were constantly recruiting soldiers.

The troops had developed to the point where only 20,000 were able to participate in combat.

A force of 20,000 was not considered many; it could even be said to be pitifully small.

Because the offensive situation on Jiang Xuan's side had turned into a Protracted War, the French troops were able to free up their hands to encircle and suppress Nashadier's troops.

But the number of troops France could mobilize was not many either.

Therefore, they implemented a blockade plan to trap Nashadier's troops in one area and limit their development.

Now Nashadier was trapped in the Sugela Tribe, with no Method to break through the blockade.

Their weapons, their food, and their armies had no Method to fully display their prowess!

For this reason, Nashadier now urgently needs to break through the blockade and continue to expand outward.

Yet at this very moment, Harris's troops happened to come knocking.

Harris is a Commander of the Wahala Tribe, but he has now organized a force that, under the slogan of opposing colonialism, helps the French colonists rule.

Their goal is to crush Nashadier's troops.

In order to obtain intelligence, Nashadier, Henry, and others infiltrated Harris's tribe, and while gathering information, they attempted to incite their troops to defect.

However, this was all discovered by Harris.

But the two made a wager, as Nashadier wanted to teach this Commander of the Wahala Tribe a lesson on the battlefield.

He wanted to tell him that being a dog leads to no good end, especially being a dog for the French.

Another reason for Nashadier doing this is that he does not want to wield the butcher's knife against Arab tribes or his own Egyptian people.

Right now is the time to oppose colonialism, and if they were to have internal friction with their own people at this time...

It would only be a futile effort; for them, and for the Egyptian people, it would be something that pains their loved ones and gladdens their enemies!

However, there are simply too many tribes, large and small, in Egypt; although they all oppose colonial rule, the traditions and customs between their tribes are vastly different.

Nashadier just wants to take this opportunity to integrate these tribes of Egypt and tell them who the real enemy is now.

At the same time, he also wants to tell them how they should get along within the peace won after this battle is fought.

After escaping from Harris's tribe, Nashadier arrived at his own garrison area.

Because his whereabouts had already been exposed, Harris would certainly not leave him with too much time.

Taking advantage of his return to the troops to launch a sneak attack and catch them off guard—this is the best opportunity.

After Nashadier returned, he immediately ordered a state of emergency, but a whole night passed, and they did not receive any news of an attack by Harris's troops.
