Chapter 1955: Providing Weapons

At this time, America.

After Kenteer's troops were defeated at Longyan City.

The strength of France was greatly reduced, and with Britain also beginning to cooperate with those Indians, it was difficult for France to maintain its troop levels.

Under such conditions, France, having been pursued by the victors, had already lost all its strongholds in the Mississippi River Basin, with only the town of Quebec City in the Canada region holding on desperately.

In order to prevent the evil consequences from continuing to spread, Richard wanted to cooperate with Longyan again.

Even if it meant spending money to smuggle equipment from Longyan City.

And at this time in Longyan City, after Kenteer's defeat, Longyan City had entered into post-war restoration work, and Qingyang Shuo had been living quite leisurely recently.

Qin Zhangfeng had been sent by him to Yun City to intercept the Spanish troops.

Judging by the battle results, his operation was very successful; for a short time, the Spanish troops did not have sufficient capability to launch an invasion against their Yun City.

And the situation in North America was also basically stable.

Britain, in order to obtain the territory of the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes Basin, had specifically come to visit Qingyang Shuo.

The huge price paid was to request that Longyan City do nothing during this period of time.

Qingyang Shuo understood Kelinxi's meaning, and Qingyang Shuo agreed to it.

Having someone who could help them attack the French troops was quite good, and just relying on this wave, Longyan City's harvest was quite abundant.

It was also during this period of time that the British troops won battle after battle!

And at this time, Qingyang Shuo received news from Wan Shang and Fang Dalong.

Richard wanted to obtain some weapons from Longyan to stabilize the war situation.

If it were before, Qingyang Shuo would have flatly refused this request, although selling weapons could bring in a large amount of wealth.

But now that the French troops actually dared to attack their Longyan, because of this issue, he did not want to provide weapons to the French troops.

France could not be allowed to grow strong again; according to the information Qingyang Shuo had obtained, they had already received news that Yun City was building the Panama Canal.

That was why Richard had made up his mind to attack Longyan.

Attempting to seize the Panama Canal, everyone knew the value of the Panama Canal.

But did Britain, whose naval strength was superior, know of the existence of the Panama Canal?

Qingyang Shuo had heard that on the Atlantic Ocean, Britain had already manufactured steam battleships comparable to supply ships.

This was not good news for him; this kind of British battleship would directly threaten the safety of their Panama Canal.

If Britain used such battleships to attack, then they would find it very difficult to resist the British offensive.

At that time, the Panama Canal would face an even more serious crisis.

After thinking of this, Qingyang Shuo made a decision.

The British troops could not be allowed to continue to grow, otherwise they would truly face a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, Qingyang Shuo made a decision: Britain needed an opponent, at least for a short time, so that Britain could not threaten the Panama Canal.

With sufficient troops deployed around the Panama Canal for Longyan, after thinking of this, Qingyang Shuo decided to provide France with a minimum supply of weapons.

Allowing them to suppress Britain's expansion on the battlefield.

Qingyang Shuo quickly gave a response to Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, letting the two of them tell Richard.

The quantity of weapons they could obtain.

……

After Wan Shang and Fang Dalong received the reply, they immediately informed Richard.

"Great, with this batch of weapons, the northern battlefield can be maintained for the time being, and it won't end up in a miserable situation."

Richard looked at Wan Shang and Fang Dalong excitedly: "You two have performed a great service for our French Colonial Area."

"I will petition His Majesty to grant you titles"

"and fiefs!"

The two bowed their heads slightly to express their thanks, and Wan Shang added: "Thank you for your generosity, Excellency, but what I just informed you of is the total amount of weapons we can obtain."

"General, you also know that these are special times, and the difficulty of transporting these weapons is very high; it is not that simple for us to obtain these things."

"The price is also not something we can control; the first batch might arrive very soon, but we don't know when the subsequent ones will arrive."

Richard nodded heavily; he had anticipated this before making such a decision.

The occurrence of such a situation was also within his expectations.

"Rest assured, price is not an issue, and I will have the troops cooperate with you on transportation."

Wan Shang bowed his head slightly and stepped back, having received the promise.

He had no more issues.

Richard was calm on the surface, but his heart ached; the price of this batch of Longyan weapons they were buying was simply too high.

But he had to buy them; Quebec absolutely could not be lost.

The existence of Britain's steam battleships had already cut off their supply lines at sea; if the land transport lines were also cut off, this war would not be able to continue.

The French elite troops in Quebec would absolutely lose this incomparably important town.

So even though his heart ached, Richard gritted his teeth and agreed.

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong were laughing inside; Richard was truly bleeding heavily this time.

The price of these weapons was even higher than before.

But now Richard could only swallow his resentment and produce this money.

"Go, leave this matter to the two of you to be responsible for; once they arrive, have the troops use them on the front line immediately."

"Yes."

Wan Shang and Fang Dalong withdrew……

……

At this time, in the British Colonial District.

On the front lines, under the leadership of General Astimo, the war situation is slowly advancing; after seizing the Saint Lawrence River, they have already cut off the supply lines of the French forces.

For Kelinxi, this should have been a good thing, yet he could not bring himself to be happy at all.

The reason is simple: General Astimo is a person who immigrated from Britain to settle here.

Belonging to the Military Department, his victory directly drives a change in the political situation of the British Colonial District.

The local forces in America are gradually strengthening, but because of Britain's policy toward the colonies.

Even if the political forces in America become more numerous and larger, there will not be any change.

The American Colonial Area still belongs under the supervision of the British mainland.

These immigrants could never truly manage this place.

But this has placed great pressure on Kelinxi; he still has the most powerful force of Britain, the navy, in his hands, but he lacks the support of troops on land.

This makes it very difficult for his strategies to continue to be implemented, but if internal strife were to occur at this time.

It would become very difficult, so Kelinxi has no choice but to endure it.

He does not want to let the British Colonial District and Britain fall into conflict under his tenure.

This would be extremely disadvantageous for Britain.

Therefore, Kelinxi has been watching the growth of the Military Department, until Qiaozhi proposed the independence of America in Fojilisi.

He could no longer tolerate it.

The Military Department and local forces can grow, but the American Colonial Area must belong to Britain!..

This is his bottom line, and he will absolutely not allow anyone to destroy it!
