Chapter 2029: Tense Situation

~7 min read 1,240 words

At this time, on the European battlefield.

After the Liegnitz war ended, Frederick II led his troops to continue marching toward Xilixi.

But he did not know that the Russian-Austrian Allied Forces had already changed their operational plan; their target was the heart of Prussia.

Berlin!

Berlin is the capital of Prussia, the most important place.

If Berlin were to fall, their Prussia would fall.

At this time, Frederick II still believed that the Russian-Austrian Allied Forces would focus their combat attention on the rich land of Xilixi.

……

And at this time, Prussia's ally.

Britain, the stabilization of the Hanover war situation, allowed their pressure to decrease sharply.

They urgently needed to develop deeper cooperation with the Longyan; the destruction of the Dreadnought-class Battleship required them to build a more powerful military within more time.

To occupy the overseas colonies of France.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that France is currently on the verge of turmoil.

In this war, France's overseas colonies were almost cut off, and on the European mainland battlefield, they did not gain much of an advantage.

Furthermore, they did not achieve any phased results.

Britain wants to continue expanding outward through this war, making its maritime colonies even more vast.

The curtain call of the French Empire seems like an inevitable result.

And just at this time, Louis XV, by invading Australia, plundered Longyan scientists and engineers.

Using inhumane methods, he achieved a leap in technology.

It is just that such development is built upon death.

The Longyan are filled with hatred for what France has done.

Although Liu Zheng is busy taking care of his children, he has now placed France at the top of his list for the next destruction.

……

At this time, America.

With the end of the Quebec war of conquest, Britain's Colonial Area did not expand much, but it occupied almost all the ports on the east coast of America.

Richard of the French Colonial Zone, in order to be able to transport the resources of America back to the mainland.

Could only use the Panama Canal opened by the Longyan in Yun City to enter the Atlantic Ocean, otherwise they would only be able to increase their voyage by three months.

Making their ships face greater danger.

And not only that, Qin Zhangfeng led the Indian troops and attacked directly from the southern end of the French Colonial Zone.

Forcing the French Colonial Zone to cede territory.

They were already at the gates at this time; Richard had no good Method, so he could only look for a suitable candidate to negotiate with them.

He urgently summoned Wan Shang and Fang Dalong, wanting to send the two of them to Longyan to discuss terms.

But Richard still does not know that Wan Shang and Fang Dalong are the very people who caused him to fall into this situation today.

In Richard's office.

As the leader with the highest authority in the French Colonial Zone, Richard walked up to welcome them at this time, two outsiders from Longyan.

"Two brothers, you must save my life."

Richard nearly knelt to the ground; his appearance was extremely humble!

Seeing Richard's appearance, Wan Shang and Fang Dalong hurriedly helped Richard up, while inwardly they were laughing secretly.

Seeing him like this, a great sense of satisfaction arose in their hearts; once upon a time, Richard was still the type who was guarded and indifferent toward them.

"Sir, why is this? What could the two of us possibly do?" Wan Shang asked in surprise.

Fang Dalong chimed in from the side, saying: "The two of us don't have much ability either; what could we possibly do?"

After the two of them took control of the French Information Department, they had long known what happened in Quebec.

And not only that, General Qin Zhangfeng being able to reach the gates so quickly was something they had an undeniable contribution to.

As for why Richard was so anxious to summon the two of them, Fang Dalong and Wan Shang were even more clear.

When his son, Ausilige, found the two of them.

Fang Dalong and Wan Shang were already perfectly clear.

Richard sighed deeply and said: "We lost Quebec, the battle was lost, and now General Qin Zhangfeng has led the Indian troops to launch a surprise attack from who knows where, and they are already at the gates."

"They want our richest region, which has abundant mineral deposits and farmland."

"I……"

Fang Dalong and Wan Shang both understood; they looked at Richard and said with a show of loyalty: "Sir, just give the order and tell us what to do."

Richard frowned tightly, then sighed, walked to the side, and said: "You are Longyan people to begin with."

"I want to send the two of you to negotiate; perhaps you can negotiate some terms."

The two were stunned after hearing this.

Wan Shang said with a bitter smile: "Sir, the two of us have already become naturalized French citizens; going to negotiate with Qin Zhangfeng, I'm afraid we have no advantage at all."

Fang Dalong also pondered for a moment before saying: "Qin Zhangfeng has never been able to tolerate sand in his eyes."

"The two of us are... sigh, I'm afraid he won't listen to us."

"It might even make France look even worse because of this matter."

"If the situation becomes worse, the two of us will be sinners."

Richard looked at them and said again: "No, I have seen the abilities of you two."

"You represent the Messenger of France in this negotiation, and I will have people protect you well."

Seeing Richard's expression, Wanshang sighed even more and made a decision: "Fine, since it has come to this, I will make the trip and meet this Qin Zhangfeng!"

"What about you, Brother Fang?" Wanshang looked at the hesitant Fang Dalong.

Richard also looked at him.

Looking at the two of them, Fang Dalong also said: "Since you are both going, is there any reason for me not to?"

"However, sir, if I should meet with any misfortune after I leave, I implore you to send our families and our two corpses back to Longyan; the tradition of Longyan emphasizes that fallen leaves return to their roots!"

"Very well!" Richard agreed readily, and even added: "If you two can handle this matter properly, then you will be the greatest heroes of the French Colonial Zone!"

"I will memorialize His Majesty and request rewards for you both."

Wanshang and Fang Dalong thanked Richard.

The two turned and left; watching their departing backs, Richard rubbed his palms together and breathed a sigh of relief.

He called for his son, Ausilige.

By this time, Ausilige had grown quite a bit; although he was as much of a playboy as ever, he had also become slightly more calculating.

He told Ausilige: "This time for the diplomatic mission, you will go along too!"

Ausilige shook his head wildly.

Richard's expression changed, he glared angrily at Ausilige, and shouted in a deep voice: "I am telling you to go and watch Wanshang and Fang Dalong; if Qin Zhangfeng finds out these two are traitors, if he wants to negotiate peace."

"You can tell Qin Zhangfeng that these two are just a small token of respect."

"Betrayal! It is not allowed in any matter, especially since both of them have been reselling Longyan's military supplies!"
