The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, but now, it is only because England wants to colonize overseas better that it turns the war with Scotland into friendship.
Ordinarily, unity and common development should be a good thing for both parties, but in fact, England enjoys all the benefits, while Scotland plays a thankless role.
England's shipbuilding technology was far superior to Scotland's, so almost all of the benefits from the great voyages fell into the hands of the English, while the Scots only sent people to garrison and manage the occupied areas.
Hans plays such a role.
The taxes they collect from managing this place are handed over to the parliament in a certain proportion, and what is left in their hands is actually a very small part.
Getting less money doesn’t mean there are less things to do.
Wherever there is repression, there is resistance. When Britain begins to impose excessive taxes, the people of the colonies will definitely set off a wave of anti-colonial struggle. Although their overall strength is far from that of the British army, they will still give the British army a surprise.
Causing casualties...
All of the above are the reasons for the discord between Hans and Loggins. There are irreconcilable contradictions between military services and races. Now, Long Yan's invasion has brought this contradiction to a critical value.
If the situation is further stimulated, it is not impossible for them to have a civil war.
Liu Zheng, of course, does not expect this. He just needs to hold on for a while and wait for Long Yan to regain his strength.
Although he is abroad, Liu Zheng has always been paying attention to domestic developments.
Liu Zheng's intelligence organization reported the recent domestic situation to Liu Zheng, and after reading the contents of the intelligence, Liu Zheng couldn't sit still.
Less than a month after he left, the situation in Long Yan has changed a bit quickly.
The plague actually spread in the Northeast!
The spread of the plague caused Beidacang's economic growth to stagnate instantly. This was the top priority of Liu Zheng's plan. He did not expect that such an accident would occur.
The economy of the Northeast is the strongest support for Liu Zheng's global layout. If there is a problem in the Northeast, it will have a huge impact on Liu Zheng's market. And if he wants to maintain the previous layout, Long Yan's finances will be in deficit.
Now, Long Yan is a large-scale interest group, and various forces come together because of their interests. But if the fiscal deficit makes these guys unprofitable, then the system they have worked so hard to establish will be lost.
It will be destroyed in one day.
Fortunately, the Li Dynasty actually dispatched the navy and drove away the Russian fleet, which relieved the pressure on the Northeast region. Otherwise, Long Yan would really be in danger of collapsing.
At that time, I just wanted to do a favor and sold a lot of weapons and equipment to Lee Hyuna. I didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise!
Now, Liu Zheng has to go back and take a look.
The Northeast is unstable and the situation in the DPRK is bound to be turbulent. At this time, he, the chief assistant, must return to the country to suppress the battle.
As for Suez, the previous raids had greatly weakened the strength of the British and Egyptian defenders. With Jiang Xuan's help, Nashadil should have no problem holding on. Moreover, even if they did not have the strength to hold on, Liu Zheng was not worried.
Because he has already found the best helper for Jiang Xuan.
"Brother, are you going back now?"
Jiang Xuan was a little reluctant to give up.
Liu Zheng laughed and said nothing.
Originally, the focus of his visit to Suez this time was to attend the opening ceremony of Suez.
But what can be done......
As soon as he came here, the situation became complicated.
But this is normal.
Suez is so important.
Neither Britain nor France allowed Suez to be completed so smoothly.
Originally, Liu Zheng wanted to go to France to see if he could find Napoleon, and then support him in doing something.
Unexpectedly, the plague in Northeast China spread.
It's ruined...
He sighed: "I'll leave this to you. Xi'er and Mo Chen will come over in a while, and it will be fun for you two."
On the same day, Liu Zheng's fleet group began to set sail.
Liu Zheng was rushing back to Long Yan, and at this time, something big happened to Long Yan.
Dunhuang fell.
Rumyantsev actually led his army through the Gobi Desert and attacked Dunhuang by surprise!
Although Dunhuang was an important military town, because Long Yan spent a lot of energy on the northeast and southeast, and because Dunhuang was already an inland city and the threat of war was small, the armaments were slightly depleted.
With their weak defensive capabilities, they were unable to withstand Tsarist Russia's 200,000-strong army. The Tsarist Russian army took over the ancient city of Dunhuang in less than five hours with little effort.
Where is Dunhuang? It is within the territory of Liangzhou. Dunhuang is the west gate of Liangzhou. If Dunhuang is lost, the gate of Liangzhou will be wide open and Liu Zheng's base will be in danger.
Even Rumyantsev himself did not expect that this time he would cross the desert and fight to the death. Unexpectedly, he would actually have a chance to survive!
Although they lost nearly 20,000 people during the journey, if they can finally capture Dunhuang, the sacrifice will be worth it!
Controlling Dunhuang was like putting a nail under Liu Zheng's butt. He wanted to see how Liu Zheng would solve this situation!
Not all of Longyan's crises come from the northwest, Longyan's direct north also has fatal threats.
