But what Li He didn't know was that both Drew and Horn knew that they had lost a medium-sized flour mill.
"General Horn, are you really going to let these remaining Dragon Flame armies continue to develop?"
Drew raised his eyebrows and asked.
Horn neither denied nor admitted, but said: "We lost two warships in the naval battle with Xie Fang, and the other two warships were also damaged in the battle and need to be repaired."
"The loss of Long Yan's army was just an old sailing ship from the Age of Discovery. The Yinzhou ship did not sink a single one."
"This battle is not as simple as we thought."
Drew frowned when he heard General Horn's unreasonable answer.
Their ultimate goal in France is to occupy Australia and obtain the technology of Dragon Flame.
But in just one battle, they lost two battleships, and you can see how terrifying the Longyan Yinzhou ship was.
Horn took a deep breath: "We don't have enough energy to pay attention to those little people now."
"They got a flour mill, and it was just a few bags of rations. Without wheat, what's the use of this flour mill?"
"Don't worry about them. Is there any news from America?"
Drew thought for a moment and said: "Not yet. It is said that the conflict with Britain over there is very serious, and they may not necessarily lend us a ship."
Horn sighed and looked at the map: "We must hurry up. I heard that Britain has developed a new type of steam battleship. It is said that it is equipped with a steam engine produced by Longyan."
"The speed and power have been greatly improved. If this is true, our position at sea will be completely lost."
"The colonies of our French Empire are also very likely to fall into the hands of Britain and Long Yan."
"Now we must defeat Australia and obtain Longyan's technology."
"Only in this way can we still have a chance in this war."
...
The other side of the Australian battlefield.
Li He looked at the grain stored in the flour mill and found that it was not as much as he had imagined. It could even be said to be less.
This is not good news for him.
Now that wheat has been completely controlled by the French, Drew controls the island's economy, and it is even easier to control the food.
"The current food can only last a month. If there is no more food in a month, our situation will become very dangerous."
Someone said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at Li He, but he didn't make a sound.
After a while, he looked at everyone's eyes and said, "I think food is not the key to the current problem."
"You tell me why after we captured the flour mill, the French knew the information, but after so long, they didn't send a French army to attack us."
"Think about it, isn't it strange?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Ge Dazhuang scratched his head and said unintentionally: "Wouldn't it be better not to attack us? Maybe the French were also attacked."
"Yes!" Li He's eyes lit up: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
He added: "It has been so long. It is impossible that the imperial court has not noticed any surprises. According to His Majesty's character, he will definitely send troops to attack."
"It is speculated that the French army may be fighting our fleet at sea now!"
"That's why they don't have enough energy to take care of us."
Everyone's eyes lit up, they looked at Li He and asked: "Then we will do nothing and wait for our troops to land?"
Li He shook his head and said: "No, not only can we not do this, we also need to do something that can attract the attention of the French."
"The robbery of a small flour mill is not painful for the French."
