The Swedish army on land pursued them quickly, with gunshots fired frequently.
On the Elbe River, Sweden urgently mobilized its navy to attack.
A chase begins on the broad river.
However, the Swedish Imperial Navy simply could not catch up with the fleet in front.
Soon the Swedish fleet was pulled away.
They still used the most primitive steam engine, but there was a huge difference in speed.
On the Elbe River, several speedboats left quickly. Ling Chen looked at the flickering firelight in the darkness and the curses of the Swedes on the shore. He grinned and shouted loudly:
"I'm the thief, Jones!"
"If you dare, you Swedish cowards, come and kill me!"
The Swedish officers and soldiers on the shore looked at the speeding boats on the river and were at their wits' end.
In the dark night, they couldn't see clearly who the robbers were, but they heard a name, Jones.
Who is Jones?
The Swedish officers and soldiers immediately thought of the wanted criminal who had recently become famous, named Jones!
"It's him!" The Swedish officer's mind flashed to the arrogant thief, and he suddenly became furious.
There should be thieves robbing the goods of their Swedish empire!
"Ah! Jones, just wait for me!"
Although Ling Chen couldn't see the Swedish officer looking furious, he could imagine it.
How distorted is his face now?
Ling Chen's stern face showed a smile, they had gained a lot this time.
The intercepted ship of grain and fodder was enough to last for a while.
However, this is not enough to solve the most basic problem of food and clothing, but they also have to solve other problems.
Such as weapons, minerals, etc...
These 200,000 troops are going to fight, and the materials they brought from Longyan Port cannot support them in many high-intensity battles.
Since they were stationed here, their troops have been short of ammunition.
There is also the Dragon Flame Cannon. Although Ling Chen accompanied the army with technical troops, they maintained and developed the shells for the Dragon Flame Cannon, a heavy firearm.
But it's hard to make a meal without rice. Although these technical troops are powerful, without materials and factories, they are useless even if they are gods.
Now that the problem of food and clothing has been alleviated, it is time to solve the problem of the factory.
Production of weapons.
Ling Chen stood on the boat, feeling the biting cold wind blowing by.
Ling Chen tightened his clothes and sighed as he looked at the inky river water in the dark night.
Winter has arrived, and Lingchen learned from the locals that this river, which runs directly from Hannover to Hamburg, is suitable for winter, as the river surface often freezes.
Now that winter has come, it will be extremely difficult to sneak attack Hamburg's port from this river.
Continuously looting by bandits is not a long-term solution.
Hamburg must be taken down.
But he definitely cannot be a Longyan person.
If Hamburg becomes the city of Long Yan, then these French and Austrian allies will never allow their merchants to come here to trade.
Secondly, the strategic significance of this city is very important.
It can serve as a land link connecting the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, and is a transportation link between the Allies. Secondly, the Allies' control of Hamburg can prevent Britain from landing from here.
On the other side of Hamburg is British territory.
After the Franco-Austrian Allied Forces occupied Hamburg, it would be too difficult for Britain to enter mainland Europe.
But all this is based on the fact that Hamburg is in the hands of the Franco-Austrian Alliance.
This was tantamount to severing the connection between Prussia and Britain.
It is a pity that although Britain knew the importance of this city to Prussia and itself, when Hamburg was attacked by the Franco-Austrian Allied Forces, it did not send a single soldier to assist.
