That is the resource of an iron mine. Although it is not as precious as other mineral resources, it is still a mine.
Dick had an angry look on his face the whole way here.
But now when he returned to his colonial area, he showed a proud smile.
He looked very proud.
"How do you know we lost money on this deal?" Dick asked rhetorically.
His subordinates, the chief of staff, didn't know why, and in their eyes, it was a loss.
Although Longyan's giant steam engine is powerful, their British steam engine is not bad either. Although this kind of thing is good, it is not as important as an iron mine.
The Chief of Staff is full of confidence in Britain. He believes that Britain can develop a steam engine of this level as long as it studies it enough.
"The iron mine is so close to Cairo and the geographical location is good. This place is a treasure mountain for us."
"For us to give it to the Longyan people so easily is not to strengthen their power."
This is true.
But it's not entirely true... Dick smiled and said: "Don't worry about what we told him. Let me ask everyone first, who is our enemy now?"
"French people." Everyone said without thinking.
The chief of staff looked puzzled as to what this had to do with the Longyan people.
Dick nodded: "The French have too many colonies in Africa, but the fastest route for them to take shipping is through the Mediterranean. But now France has two port cities in Egypt, one is occupied by Longyan. The other is still there.
In French hands."
"Since our enemy is France, then why are the enemies of our enemies not friends? Why can't we win over them?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
The chief of staff snorted coldly and said: "That's true, but we have a grudge against Long Yan. If France falls in the future, how will we get along with Long Yan?"
"Long Yan has ports in Europe and controls the Suez Canal. These are extremely important strategic locations."
"If we develop in Europe, we may not be able to avoid Long Yan in the future."
Nashadir smiled lightly: "That's why we need Longyan's steam engine."
"With Long Yan's steam engine, I believe that with our British talents we can definitely develop a steam engine that is more powerful than Long Yan's steam engine."
Nashadir looked at the chief of staff looking at his men and asked: "By then, our British navy will be the best in the world, and the dragon flames can't stop it, right?"
The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, his body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly felt that his position was too small.
If you master the technology of Dragon Flame, let alone an iron mine, no one can stop it under the powerful British ships and cannons.
France's overseas colonies have lost their advantage in shipping, and their fate can only be destruction.
When I thought about it, these chiefs of staff understood why Dick could become Britain's talker in Egypt.
And he can only be chief of staff. The fundamental reason is that his structure is too small.
It's simply not comparable to others.
After thinking about this, the chief of staff no longer struggled.
Instead, he said something: "You still have to stand on the shoulders of giants to see farther and higher."
Dick looked at his chief of staff and nodded, agreeing with his words.
Dick immediately wrote a letter telling Britain of his decision and the cooperation he had reached with Long Yan.
After writing this letter, Dick sighed.
In fact, if possible, he would prefer Britain to be the giant, but unfortunately Britain is not.
Long Yan is now the giant, and the leader of this giant is Liu Zheng.
