Because Cairo is now occupied, the rear security issue of the Suez Canal has been completely settled.
Jiang Xuan placed his administrative center in Cairo.
Doing so can not only defend against foreign enemies, but also defend the Suez Canal.
Moreover, Cairo is the Nile Delta area, which is the most fertile. Jiang Xuan is currently sitting in the rear area because he needs such a place to develop the economy and attract more Long Yan and other businessmen to do business here.
This is the lifeblood of the European economy. There are many ice-free ports on the Mediterranean, although it is currently a matter of war.
The battle for the throne between Prussia and Austria and the maritime battle between Britain and France swept the entire Western world.
But trade did not decrease, but intensified.
Now is a rare truce period and the best time to trade.
After all, at other times, these merchant ships can easily become victims of maritime battlefields.
Although trade is very developed now, it was also the golden age of those so-called pirates.
They plundered wealth everywhere at sea, and the Suez Canal was no exception and became the target of their plunder.
Because the Suez Canal has the largest maritime wealth in the world, hundreds of ships pass through it every day.
These pirates can easily obtain a large amount of wealth as long as they guard both ends of the Suez Canal.
These pirates caused great trouble to merchants passing through the Suez Canal.
For Jiang Xuan, this is preventing Long Yan from making money.
Jiang Xuan decided to dispatch the Long Yan Navy to conquer a wave of sea bandits.
Use your strength to tell them who has the final say in this sea.
On the coast near the Suez Canal, a group of pirates had long been ambushing nearby.
They have made a lot of money by plundering merchant ships coming out of the Suez Canal in the past few days. Their income in these few days has already equaled their annual income.
This was like paradise to them. They praised the merchant ships coming from afar on the sea.
Seeing the huge hull, they couldn't help but smile because of their greed.
"Such a big merchant ship, young fellows, the big fish is coming, after finishing this job, we will be happy for a whole year!"
The pirate leader said with great greed.
Seeing this huge merchant ship sailing slowly on the sea, the crew roared greedily, seeming to vent their inner emotions.
The pirate captain gave the order and all the pirates drove the pirate ship forward at full speed.
Jiang Xuan saw these pirate ships setting sail through the telescope, with a skull flag on the ship.
Seeing the arrogance of these pirates, Jiang Xuan had no expression on his face.
This time he personally led a team to suppress the bandits, just to catch all these pirates and prevent them from harassing merchants in the Suez Canal and disturbing his business!
After Jiang Xuan saw the pirate ship, he also ordered the Long Yan supply ship to speed up.
The purpose was to get close to the pirate ship, and he did not intend to let go of any place.
Seeing the supply ship approaching, the pirates' eyes shone with excitement. In their eyes, this ship was simply a woman.
Even though they were pirates, they still went up to them. Is this telling them that they can go up?
"Young men, rush forward, don't let this ship slip away from our eyes!"
All the pirates shouted in unison: "Yes!"
The pirate ship is also moving at full speed.
Finally, the two ships met on the vast sea, but the excitement of meeting the pirates turned into fear.
The firepower burst out from this supply ship knocked down all the pirate ships in just one encounter.
The pirate ship completely sank in the vast ocean as soon as it came face to face.
