Chapter 1110
"It is indeed strange that the Poles seem to be inherently prejudiced against us Ming people. I don't know why?
But as far as I know, they don't seem to have a very good relationship with the Hebrews. ”
"Nope! It's just that the people at the bottom don't have a good relationship with the Hebrews, and they are very disgusted with the Hebrews.
But the nobles of the upper echelons had a good relationship with the Hebrews. In Warsaw, there were more than two hundred thousand Jews.
Most of them are successful businessmen, musicians, teachers, painters, composers, etc., and they all belong to the upper class of celebrities anyway.
The Polish aristocracy had a lot of dealings with them, so the relationship was quite good. ”
"I see!" Li Xiao nodded.
It seems that his views are somewhat arbitrary, and the Hebrews value education and hold the financial lifeblood.
Only the common people will not like them, as for those nobles, how can they hate them, and who will not get along with money.
"But it doesn't seem surprising that the Poles attacked Russia. The national hatred between them was deep, and Russia had three successive Grand Dukes, who died in the war against Poland.
And the Polish royal family, many people also died in the war against Russia.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two sides are blood feuds.
However, this time, ......, it is a little strange for them to attack Russia. ”
"Oh? What's so strange? ”
"Everyone knows that Russia is an ally with us.
Moreover, in the past few years, Russia's national strength has grown greatly with our help.
Judging from the battle situation in Grozny, although the tactics of the Russians are reckless and dull, they are desperate.
And the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard is very strong!
While guarding the Kreuz Pass, a company carried more than 800 people on the opposite side. At the end of the battle, the whole company fought the remaining five people.
Three of them were seriously wounded!
But in the end, no one was allowed to cross the mountain pass, which ensured the total annihilation of the Chechens.
The fierceness of this battle is stronger than many troops of our Liao army. ”
"Yes! At the end of the day, our army is used to fighting tailwinds. Tough battles, hard battles are not much!
This ruthlessness is indeed inferior to them. Li Xiao let out a puff of smoke.
In fact, he did not give the troops a chance to fight fiercely.
The Liao army fought with artillery first, and no matter what, it was a cannon bombardment first. Coupled with the air superiority of the airship, it is completely to crush low-level opponents.
In a fashionable phrase in later generations, this is a dimensionality reduction strike.
Under the absolute superiority of science and technology, it is impossible to fight such a tough and ruthless battle.
"Our Liao army has the advantage of the Liao army. The same cannot be said about things, such as ......! ”
"I know more about this than I do, and that's what I want to ask you. Does Poland unite with other countries, or other countries behind it? ”
"Oh! The Poles and the French got along better, and the Polish royal family married Napoleon's sister Elisa.
If there is anyone behind the support of the Poles, it is certainly the French. And ......, the French also seem to have developed well over the years.
They can now produce machine guns, howitzers, airships, and even warships.
It's just that they can't make a diesel engine that can be mass-produced. So, the warships they make are still warships with coal-fired boilers.
And their airships are also using diesel engines that are re-exported from Spain.
Every year, they also re-export a lot of diesel from Italy. ”
"Huh! Whoever let Napoleon fall out with us, of course, good things can only be obtained by pretending to be manpowered.
French......! Hehe, they support the Poles in finding trouble with Russia.
Will Prussia be involved? ”
"Yes! But there will only be a limited amount of participation, and there will be absolutely no blatant participation.
It is estimated that there will only be the opening of domestic rail transport, and perhaps the sale of some weapons, and that's it.
However, the Prussians' weapons were better than those of the French.
I have been to the factories of Prussia, and the workers do have a kind of artisan spirit. And they seem to have a much better understanding of machinery than our workers.
Seriously, the Prussians' natural character is really very suitable for the Prussians.
Fortunately, we still maintain diplomatic relations with Prussia.
Moreover, Prussia was ambiguous with the Hebrews. But it seems that he does not fully trust that Bismarck belongs to the wall-riding faction, the kind of wall-grass, and wants to benefit from both sides.
Frederick now entrusted all the affairs of state to Bismarck, and he was tired of spending all day with old Moltke to engage in military reform.
I've been there, and the number of roads is about the same as ours.
It is to run a special military school, and the officers of the army must be graduates of the military academy.
At the same time, the troops massively trained non-commissioned officers.
As for the equipment and tactics, it is still the thinking of trench warfare.
However, they built large airships to supply the internal team fifty kilometers from the front line.
Like us, they made a decree prohibiting airships from approaching the front line for 50 kilometers. ”
"I really miss the days when there were no anti-aircraft guns, and airships were the overlords of the sky.
Now! Hey, it's the target.
But fortunately, we have a plane. Anti-aircraft guns are still a little worse against aircraft. ”
"I haven't seen an airplane, and I think it's not bad for the teacher to get something."
"You kid is not honest anymore, you have been in England for two years, and you have become oily.
Napoleon is now fighting with the Hebrews, and since the Poles are behind the French, then ......!
Eighty percent of this matter has to do with the French, it's just ...... Why attack Russia? What is their purpose? ”
Li Xiao fell into deep thought!
Although Zheng Sen has just returned from Europe, he can't say that he is ugly.
"Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock at the door.
"Come in!"
Junko walked in with a telegram in her hand.
Li Xiao glanced at the telegram, and his brows immediately furrowed again.
"What's wrong? Teacher! ”
"Look at it, the Kurds don't know why they're making a fuss again. This time it's a big one!
They conquered Baghdad all the way and were to proclaim the establishment of KurGermany in Baghdad.
These are small things, but they are united with the Kurds in the Ottoman Empire.
Now it's time to rip off a lot of territory from the Ottoman Empire!
The Ottoman Sultan didn't do it, but the army sent out to fight them, but he didn't win! ”
"The Ottoman army, that combat effectiveness is really scum.
They couldn't even beat the Romanians, and they were even inferior to Austria-Hungary.
However, it was a surprise that the Kurdish students could not be beaten.
As far as the students knew, the Kurds did not have even a couple of decent guns. ”
"This is a telegram from our Marine Corps intelligence group, and the Kurds have a large number of standard firearms.
There are even mortars, rocket artillery, howitzers, cannons and much more!
Well! And machine guns, Maxim!
The same as the Israelites! ”
"You mean ......, Israeli-backed Kurds?"
"Yes! It is they who support it behind it, otherwise the Kurds would not have such guts.
Originally, the Ottoman Empire was a little smaller, and I wouldn't care.
However, the Kurds went all the way south. Now that Baghdad is occupied, it seems that there is a tendency to move towards Basra.
That's not going to work!
Our oil fields are all there!
If we continue to fight, our oil fields will be destroyed. ”
"That's absolutely not going to work!" Zheng Sen jumped up all of a sudden, he knew too well the importance of the oil field to Daming.
Besides, his Zheng family also has oil fields in the Middle East.
The question of whether the Kurds are state-like or not is not a big problem, but the oil fields of the Middle East must not be destroyed.
Whoever dares to fight the idea of the oil field, that is the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes! Back then, we used the Kurds to defeat the Sultan of Constantinople.
After the war, we ignored their needs.
After all, we still need a stronger Ottoman Empire.
Now! People thought that we were liars, so the Hebrews took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.
Hehe! The Hebrews are really good at taking advantage of loopholes. ”
"If it was the Hebrews, they would have gone south to Basra to attack the oil fields."
"So! We really have to fight this battle.
The Kurds, with a population of several million, have had the idea of statehood for thousands of years, but have never been able to realize it.
Either suppressed by the Arabs or suppressed by the Persians. Later, the Turks came.
Now that there is a chance to build a country, why don't you fight for your life?
In order to snatch the oil fields with us, the Hebrews naturally spared no expense to support them.
The Marines are not easy to fight, and if they don't get it right, they will fall into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare.
So, this time you have to think of a thoughtful solution. It is imperative to restore law and order in Baghdad and eliminate the Kurdish militias.
Junko, let's get ready. I'm going to Xinjiapo! ”
"Teacher, you don't have to direct this battle yourself.
The Kurds are no match for the Ming army, this is something that everyone knows. This kind of thing, just let Zuo Liangyu go, why do you bother. ”
"It's good! It's good to let Zuo Liangyu, I really don't understand.
How could the Hebrews be like they were beaten with blood, could it be that they wanted to have an early showdown with us?
They don't seem to have that strength!
When will the two battleships that Spain and Sweden ordered for them be delivered? ”
"It's going to be August next year!"
"That's weird, I thought they would get two battleships before they started to move.
Unexpectedly, there is still more than a year to go, and they actually play so big. ”
Li Xiao looked at the map and felt that it must not be easy for the Hebrews to do so many things.
Sure enough, just ten days later. Telegrams came back from the front, and the Kurds continued southward in an attempt to capture Basra.
As a result, they collided head-on with the Ming Marines, and the Kurds actually took the initiative on the battlefield by virtue of their numerical superiority.
If it weren't for the foresight of the Marines, who built a lot of bunkers and fortifications, they might have really been broken through.
When the news reached the Ming Dynasty, the whole country was in an uproar, and I didn't expect that a small country overseas almost defeated the Ming Marines.
The Ming Dynasty quickly dispatched domestic troops and transported troops to the Middle East as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, the development of things seriously exceeded Li Xiao's expectations.
Just when the Ming Dynasty was in full swing to transfer troops to the Middle East, there was a joint vendor in Tunisia who was bullied by local servants.
I couldn't think about it for a while, so I actually lit a fire on the streets of Tunisia and burned myself myself.
This provoked the anger of the people, and the angry Tunisians surrounded the Sultan's mansion. Beat the Sultan to death and drag him through the streets.
The Sultan is dead, but the anger of the angry people has not abated. The local tribes were all in danger, and the sultans were afraid that they would be picked up and beheaded.
So, the sultans united to suppress the rebellious mob.
And those Tunisians, of course, could not be captured, and the war broke out in an instant.
And this war is pouring all the way down Tunisia to Tripoli. Then, quickly rushed to Egypt.
The road was chaotic, and the Arabs were killing each other.
It was at this time in Damascus that a Shiye elder was assassinated in broad daylight by a Sunni.
Soon, the religious vendetta began.
Damascus, known as the city of paradise, was plunged into chaos almost overnight.
Nearly two months have passed, and Li Xiao was surprised to find it. The whole Middle East has become a pot of porridge!
The huge gap between the rich and the poor has led to great social contradictions.
This is mixed with the contradictions between this clan, as well as the thousand-year-old grudge between the Sunni faction and the Shiye faction.
In just two months, the Middle East, which was originally peaceful, broke out like a prairie fire.
Wars have conflicts of interest, or what are the demands.
But in this war, there seems to be no dispute of interests, or any demands.
Like an influenza, it is spreading wildly in the Middle East.
In the beginning, people followed blindly. They don't know why they are on the streets, why they are fighting to the death.
Later, people gradually become numb.
Go to the streets and fight to the death with others, just to survive.
Because the world is in chaos, if you don't kill him, then he will kill you.
If you don't want to be killed, then you have to let people know that you are not easy to mess with.
Li Xiao looked at the erosive Middle East, and finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Because, there were also riots in the city of Cairo.
The mob not only smashed and looted in the streets, but even violently stormed the Marine Corps barracks.
In order to maintain order, the Ming soldiers were forced to shoot at the rioters.
As a result, more than 100 people were killed directly.
This scene was reported by the Hebrew chronicles.
For a time, the image of the Ming people in the eyes of Westerners fell to the bottom.
It was also under the deliberate propaganda of the Hebrews that countless Arabs flocked to Baghdad from all over the world.
Numerous religious leaders have also called for the Arabs to wage jihad. Overthrow the rulers from the far east and drive them back to the east.
In these processions to Cairo, Li Xiu's men even found artillery carriages dragged by four horses, as well as a large number of machine guns.
The enemy had heavy weapons, which surprised Li Xiu greatly.
He never imagined that the Arabs would be able to get their hands on such a thing.
