"After our multiple verifications, that thing should not have appeared again, but who would have thought that it would actually be lost."
Fang Dalong glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know who stole that thing, what is certain is that the defense map Kentel finally received is fake."
"If you act according to a fake picture, you can imagine the consequences!"
Wan Shang took out another defense plan, which was exactly the one Richard gave to Kentell.
After seeing the evidence, everyone suddenly realized that the reason why they were so sure that they could defeat Longyan City this time was because there was reliable news that the French army had now mastered the defense map of Longyan Army.
With the defense map, almost all of Long Yan's army was exposed under their noses.
Such a battle will become very simple.
Winning is almost predictable.
But who would have thought that this is a fake picture!
"Sir Richard, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"The change of the defense map has already been an act of collaborating with the enemy and treason. It must be thoroughly investigated and the spy behind the scenes must be caught!"
When Richard saw the defense map and heard these words, his face turned blue and red.
The defense map was changed after verification because Richard did not trust Wan Shang and Fang Dalong. Who would have thought that the fake defense map could look real!
Looking at the current excitement among the people, Richard is sitting on a tightrope. He cannot admit that this defense map is fake, otherwise he will be the main person responsible for the failure of this military action plan.
The blame for defeat will be firmly placed on his head.
At that time, let alone the position of leader of the French colonial area, it would not be too much to even execute him on the spot.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Wan Shang stood up and said: "Sir, this matter must be investigated strictly, but now the truth has been revealed."
"Since the defense plan I gave to Sir Richard is true, the defense plan that Sir Richard sent to General Kentell is also true."
"Then the person who was able to change the defense map happened on the way. It must have been changed by Long Yan's spy on the way!"
Upon hearing this inference, Richard's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "Your analysis is right, this person will be investigated immediately!"
Everyone also echoed: "Yes, we will investigate strictly and we will never let him go!"
But Wan Shang shook his head and said: "If we want to investigate him strictly now, I'm afraid it's too late. According to the information we got."
"That man was General Kentel's deputy. He is now dead on the battlefield. Perhaps he has fled to Longyan."
Everyone was silent, and there was nowhere to express their anger!
Richard was overjoyed. In this way, he would die without evidence, and he no longer had to worry about the blame for the defeat being placed on his head.
Richard said angrily: "We will investigate strictly from now on and we will never allow such a thing to happen again!"
"The battle line has changed from offensive to defensive, and we continue to recruit Indian troops and expand our strength. We can no longer fight a war."
Everyone took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yes."
After the failure of the battle with Long Yan, they lost nearly two-thirds of their elite troops, one-third of their ordinary troops, and invested countless amounts of money.
Thirty-seven artillery pieces were lost, and countless shells were lost.
And from now on, France will not have a single iron-blooded cavalry in North America. In this battle with Long Yan, their cavalry has been completely beaten!
Defeating Long Yan is already their extravagant hope, and on the northern front, the Mississippi River Basin competes with Britain for the ownership of this part of the river basin.
The French team could no longer take advantage.
Dodge died, Fort Carillon fell,
The British army also changed its generals, and the situation of this war was completely reversed. The French army was no longer able to resist the combination of the two forces.
You can only defend passively.
Richard calmed down and waved his hand to dissolve the meeting.
