Qing Yangshuo and Qin Changfeng were intensively deploying defensive offensives, preparing for a long war.
An urgent news reached these two people.
France is about to attack Longyan City!
Qing Yangshuo looked at the yellowed note and frowned slightly. This was the news that Fang Dalong asked someone to deliver.
The news is very reliable.
Qin Changfeng read the note, looked at Qing Yangshuo and said, "Sir, your worries are about to become a reality."
“It’s right to plan ahead.”
Qing Yangshuo did not speak, but took out another piece of information, which recorded an incident that happened not long ago.
France launched an offensive in the upper reaches of the Ohio River, defeated the British troops, and continued to expand eastward.
Seeing these two pieces of information, Qin Changfeng was slightly startled.
"The French want to fight on two fronts in America?"
"They probably don't have enough troops."
The composition of the French army was the cooperation of French and Indian tribes.
There were also some black slaves sold from Africa and used as artillery. This kind of army structure gave France enough strength to rival the British army in America.
However, there is a cooperative relationship between France and the large Indian tribes.
Most of the army was supplied by Indians.
The number of French immigrants was small, and the number of French people who actually formed their own armies was even smaller.
The military strength is relatively scarce.
Although the French troops were stronger than the British in the battle for the gold mines, that was because of mountain warfare.
Indians can be very useful in familiar mountains and forests.
However, if the French army wants to go to war with Britain and Longyan City at the same time, this amount of troops is simply not enough.
Even if we were to go to war with Britain alone, these troops would be somewhat stretched.
However, due to the quality of the British army, Qin Changfeng said that it was reasonable to lose in a battle with the French.
If France fights Long Yancheng on two fronts under this situation, they will definitely experience a disastrous defeat.
Moreover, France's most high-end weapons are supplied by Longyan City.
Qin Changfeng frowned and then said: "Is it a cover-up trick deployed by France? If Richard is not a fool, he should know very well what the consequences of France's two-front war with Britain and Longyan City will be."
Qingyang said: "No matter what, we cannot disbelieve this matter."
"General, you need to pay close attention to the movements of the French during this period."
"After all, for them, instead of trading with us, it would be more practical to attack directly and capture the arsenal and resources of Longyan City."
"Although France attacked Britain, it continued to expand eastward."
"But judging from the map, the place occupied by the French was just a weakly defended location at Fort Duquesne."
"That city is now an important city for French trade. It has developed transportation and its location is no less important than our Longyan City."
"More importantly, you can go north through Fort Duquesne and enter the Great Lakes region of America, which is the heart of North America and the most important region."
"This move taken by the French is not necessarily a full-scale war with the British, but may be sufficient preparations to occupy the heart of America."
"Britain's technological level, weapons and equipment are superior to France's. If France wants to use the simplest and fastest way to obtain a large amount of equipment that is better than hunting, it will be a full-scale war with Britain."
