After Wan Shang exchanged views with Fang Dalong again, Wan Shang went to see Richard.
Richard met with Wan Shang in his office.
"Brother Wan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you anymore." Richard chuckled.
"Dear Mr. Richard, please forgive me for being away for so long." Wan Shang saluted.
Wan Shang knew about the Indian uprising in France, and he also knew that Richard almost lost his life in the uprising, but if Richard didn't mention it, he would never say a word more.
He was a Long Yan man who had just returned, and he knew too much information at this time.
It is easy to arouse suspicion in others.
"Okay, okay, these are all small things. How did things go this time?" Richard got to the point.
Wan Shang straightened his expression and said, "I met Mr. Qing Yangshuo, the lord of Longyan City."
"His meaning is very clear. Longyan City remains neutral and will not participate in the battle between France and Britain."
Richard nodded, looked at Wan Shang and smiled: "Longyan City now has a military transaction with Britain. If they do not participate, then Longyan City should stop the transaction between them and Britain."
Wan Shang added: "Qing Yangshuo also gave me an answer about this matter, according to his statement."
"Long Yancheng will not stop its trade with Britain, but it will also make trade with France."
"They also guaranteed that whatever Britain can get from Longyan City, France can also get from Longyan City, but such transaction information cannot be operated openly by Longyan City. He also said, Mr. Richard, will you
Understood.”
After listening, Richard laughed.
"It's a good plan to take advantage of both sides."
"The Lord of Longyan City is very powerful."
Wan Shang echoed: "That's true."
Richard said calmly: "Okay, Brother Wan has been tired of traveling and traveling these days, so let's go down first."
After hearing this, an imperceptible look flashed through Wan Shang's eyes, his face was startled, and he bowed and said goodbye.
"Thank you Mr. Richard, I'll take my leave now."
After Wan Shang left, Richard paced back and forth in the room alone, looking at the map hanging on the wall from time to time.
Staring at the location of Longyan City.
This position is too critical. If they can win this position, France can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
It is a very important place to attack the British colonization.
Also, the technological level of Longyan City is obvious to everyone.
France's technological level is not as good as Long Yan's, and even not as good as Britain's. Richard has heard that Britain and Long Yan opened a military factory together.
Specialized in the production of weapons.
If they can take possession of Long Yanjun's weapon manufacturing factory, then their French weapon manufacturing level will rise by more than one level.
But if there is a war with Longyan City now, it means that France is fighting two major forces at the same time.
The price they need to bear will be very expensive.
Richard looked at the location of Longyan City on the map and pondered for a long time.
I thought about it again and again.
Finally, he picked up the red dart on the table and hit it on the map.
The location of the dart is Longyan City!
...
After Wan Shang left Richard's office, he left there immediately without making any further stop.
Richard's attitude just now made Wan Shang aware that something was wrong.
He immediately took a carriage to the hospital where Fang Dalong was recovering.
Fang Dalong was about to change the dressing, but when he saw his doctor, he was slightly startled.
