Dick was extremely excited. This was definitely his great political achievement in Egypt.
Britain has wanted to obtain a Mediterranean port for a long time. Through the Mediterranean Sea, it can directly reach the hinterland of the European continent.
Through its naval superiority, it deters France and other countries in the Mediterranean.
But because before, the Suez Canal was occupied by Long Yan.
Other Mediterranean coastal cities were invariably chosen to be occupied by other European countries, giving Britain no chance at all.
But now Long Yan actually cooperates with them.
They even sold two Mediterranean ports at what they considered to be extremely low prices, which was simply a waste of money.
But the more Long Yan behaves like this, the happier they become.
Dick, who originally didn't have much hope for this war, now heard the news of Long Yan's victory, his eyes were full of greed.
"Prepare the car, let's go find Jiang Xuan and get back our share of the loot."
At this time, Jiang Xuan was organizing construction work in the entire city. The former French Minister of War had surrendered and became Jiang Xuan's subordinate.
Jiang Xuan stood on the city wall, looking at the vast plain outside, his eyes narrowed slightly.
My heart is full of emotions.
A city wall built on such a plain that almost no cannons could destroy was a powerful weapon for defending the enemy.
But it's a pity that he doesn't like this city.
Although a huge price was paid to capture this city, its real purpose was to cut off France's maritime supply lines in Africa.
This makes it impossible for African supplies to be transported to France quickly, thus achieving a diversionary effect.
Therefore, even in the repair work, Jiang Xuan only made sure that the city would not collapse at a critical moment, and at the very least it must be able to withstand French harassment.
As for ports, Jiang Xuan never intended to leave any usable ports for Britain.
Another city has been firmly controlled by Nashadir, and Dick will encounter obstacles everywhere in that city.
But this city, Britain had to bleed if it wanted a port.
At this time, Jiang Xuan saw a carriage with the British flag hanging on it, driving towards it.
He smiled slightly, having already guessed that this guy Dick would definitely come to ask for the spoils of war.
Soon Dick's carriage entered the city at Jiang Xuan's signal.
Dick and Jiang Xuan met. The two exchanged greetings and did not directly get to the point.
When Jiang Xuan saw this, he was also dragging his feet. Anyway, the initiative was in his hands.
In the end, Dick couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead to speak: "Jiang Xuan, now that the war is over and you have won, it's time to fulfill the things between us."
Jiang Xuan looked at Dick with a smile.
"Are your British mines ready?"
Dick also looked at Jiang Xuan with a smile.
"Whenever you need it, you can take it. We have already prepared it."
Jiang Xuan nodded and said calmly: "The transaction can continue, but I need to know what Britain was doing when we attacked the city, why it was not defended, and why there were French support troops on the battlefield."
Upon hearing the accusation, Dick said calmly: "I didn't want to do this either. It's just that we encountered a sandstorm and all 30,000 of my soldiers were buried."
"It can be said that I am the only one left alive, and I no longer have the ability to stop those French troops."
"And even I escaped death."
Jiang Xuan sent people to check this matter, and it was not much different from what Dick said, but he still had to ask.
Jiang Xuan sneered.
"We, Long Yan, put nearly 200,000 troops on the battlefield to win this city. Now I can't even sit in my chair, so you come to negotiate a deal with me?"
