"The Indian troops have more powerful combat capabilities than we imagined."
Qing Yangshuo nodded when he heard the news.
Spain's combat effectiveness is not very high, and it is also restrained by Portugal.
There is no problem with Yuncheng's defense.
Currently, the French colonial zone lacks a seaport in North America that is directly adjacent to the Isthmus of Panama.
It is unlikely that they will launch an attack from the sea at this time.
After thinking of this, Qing Yangshuo put it down.
He looked at the map around Longyan City and said, "It has been three days since the last attack. There has been no movement from the French army. General Qin, do we have sufficient supplies?"
General Qin thought for a while and said: "We occupy a favorable location. It will be very difficult for the French army to invade, but it is not without this opportunity."
"They may be afraid of our artillery now."
"But our artillery reserves are now running low, and the French army has cut off our supply lines."
"This is what gives me a headache."
It is true that there are no railways in America, and there are no steam trains. The refining and transportation of things like ore are extremely difficult.
In the current war, France has directly restricted the transportation of Long Yan in this area.
Although Longyan City is mountainous, iron ore and saltpeter mines are very scarce.
It has always relied on the transportation of mineral veins outside Longyan City, but now the transportation is cut off, and the arsenals established in Longyan City are unable to produce weapons.
Qing Yangshuo thought for a moment and said: "The recent letter from Long Yan said that we have now invented a steam train that can transport ore."
"Perhaps the steam train can be moved to Longyan City."
Qin Changfeng's eyes lit up. He could not forget the shock of Liu Zheng's invention of the steam train.
The steam train invented by Liu Zheng greatly improved the speed of army mobilization.
They also built a railway between Yuncheng and Longyan City, but they did not open a steam train. The main reason was that this invention was too shocking at first.
Longyan City was still very weak at that time, if steam trains were opened.
There will definitely be prying eyes from France and Britain, and at that time Yuncheng cannot be exposed.
But things are different now. Although there is still a gap in military strength in Longyan City, its strength is not weak at all.
The Panama Canal is about to be opened, and Yuncheng is also under construction.
The Indian troops are also well trained.
They already have enough ability to protect themselves, and it's time to launch steam trains.
The arsenal in Yuncheng has not stopped production yet.
After thinking of this, Qing Yangshuo made the decision: "I will write a letter right away and open the steam train!"
"Okay, after it is opened, our Longyan City will never have any problems again."
Qing Yangshuo wrote an envelope to Long Yan. It wouldn't take long to get from Long Yan to America.
...
At this time, the Portuguese troops that landed from the Isthmus of Panama were rushing to Longyan City.
But after they landed, they saw a magnificent city.
This city is Yuncheng built by Long Yan.
"Oh, my Lord, when was a city built here?"
This place used to be Spanish territory, and there was no such city originally, but now this city has appeared out of thin air.
In their memory, this place already belongs to Indian territory.
They were very confused until they saw the Indian soldiers standing on the wall. Everything seemed so weird...
