"It can't be like this anymore, and the people of Cairo will starve to death if they do it again." Zheng's lion's roar passed through the heavy wooden door of the office and spread outside.

The group of admirals and officers waiting outside looked at each other one by one.

This lady is powerful, they have all been taught.

The daughter of the Zheng family, if it is not spicy, it is a mistake.

"Smack......!" Then, everyone heard a crisp slap in the face.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to squeak. The hallway was eerily quiet, and everyone could hear their own heartbeats.

"Stinky old, you know a fart.

For the sake of a little calculation of sesame mung beans, just fucking interfere with my affairs.

I'll tell you, get involved in the military. I'm going to kill you!

Get lost! Go back to the backyard and dare to come to the front yard again, and the legs will be discounted for you. ”

Immediately after, the big guy heard Li Xiu's lion-like roar.

The Middle East is in shambles, but the Marines are vulnerable.

In many places, there have even been cases of throwing away equipment and running away.

This has never happened before in the Liao army.

This matter can't be relied on on Zuo Liangyu's head.

After all, he had only been in charge of the Marine Corps for more than seven months, and three of those months were still in combat.

Originally, I thought that the Marine Corps, which had 350,000 troops, was a combatable division. But I didn't expect it to look like this!

Li Xiu fell into deep self-blame!

For a long time, the Marines were scattered. It is deployed over a wide range of areas that span the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Because the station is too scattered, it is naturally the local chief who has the final say.

There has been no war for a long time, and everyone has slacked off.

The commander in charge can also reorganize the armament and conduct training on a daily basis.

But many chief officials thought that the world was peaceful. The training is so-so, and the armament is so-so.

There are quite a few knives and guns in the warehouse, and the horse is put in the South Mountain.

Well, now, it's all in shape.

Li Xiu, who fell into self-blame, hadn't slept for three days, staring at his red eyes, looking like an evil ghost.

If possible, he will kill all the traitors.

Now, though, he doesn't have the ability.

Especially in that part of the Sinai Peninsula, in the morning he received a call for help from the local garrison. He sent a battalion!

But at noon, he had to send a regiment to relieve the battalion.

In the evening, he had to send a division to take out all the Ming people there.

The Arabs suddenly had a large number of weapons in their hands.

And they are all standard weapons, far from the original old-fashioned muskets.

Before this incident, the best weapon in the hands of the Arabs was the flintlock pistol. Even many hunters are still using old arquebuses.

The profiteers of the Ming Dynasty even bought discarded arquebuses and muskets from the Ming army and resold them to the Middle East for profit.

These things are enough for hunting on weekdays!

Li Xiu felt that this kind of weapon was not enough to shake the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so the people did not ban guns like the Ming Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that so many standard weapons suddenly appeared.

Moreover, their ammunition seems to be unable to hit the light.

What surprised Li Xiu the most was that he didn't know where to drum up artillery.

The mortars mixed in with the Arabs were unusually accurate, even more accurate than their own marines.

You know, this gang of gunners under your command. That's all fed with shells!

Mortars are definitely not something that can be played with as soon as you get started.

Although the report from naval intelligence had not yet arrived, Leaugh was almost certain that there were Hebrews among the Arabs.

Since this is the case, the source of this turmoil is almost imminent.

It's just a pity that now he doesn't have the strength to stop the Hebrew attack. There is also no ability, attacking Sevastopol.

Now, he has to put out the Arab rebellion that is burning everywhere.

"Bang!" The heavy wooden door of the office was slammed open, and Zheng rushed out of it with a cloak.

Everyone automatically stood in two rows to make way for the lady.

Zheng covered his face and left, and no one in the corridor spoke.

"Get in!" Li Xiu's roar came from inside.

The officers of the colonel walked into the office tremblingly, the commander was in a bad mood today, and no one wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun.

I didn't see that even my wife was beaten just now!

"Ministry of Intelligence, what are you eating?

Such a large-scale rebellion, such a large-scale smuggling of weapons. You didn't even notice that even the Hebrew artillery is now present in Sinai.

What's the use of raising you, it's better to raise a circle of big fat pigs, and you can kill and eat meat during the New Year.

Xiao Zhan, you are the head of the Intelligence Department. You said! ”

Li Xiao pointed directly at Xiao Zhan, and his fingertips almost poked his nose.

"Uh......! Commander, this time it was the Hebrews who were behind the scenes.

Over the years, they have used small favors to buy off those Arabs.

They distribute clothes and food during floods, but they still distribute clothes and food during droughts.

Roads are built everywhere, and small roads are also built, which are connected to the main roads we have built.

So much so that the local people saw us as if they had seen an enemy, and they had seen a Hebrew, and they wanted to see their relatives.

This time in Tunisia, the Hebrews united with the local tribal elders to do the hell.

What's more, the people we appointed are too greedy. make the common people hate them.

What to say, officials of the King of Tunisia. If all of them are shot, there will be unjust, false and wrongful cases, and if they are shot one by one, there will definitely be fish that slip through the net. ”

"That's it! I don't want to listen to this, I want the deployment of enemy forces in the Sinai Peninsula. And to what extent the Hebrews sent their troops. Li Xiu rudely interrupted Xiao Zhan's report.

"The Hebrews sent out their troops, but only symbolically sent out artillery.

The guns in the hands of the Arabs were supplied by them, and the wars with Austria-Hungary and Russia allowed them to capture quite a few.

Those were old rifles, but they were outnumbered by Arabs.

The gathering of so many people is enough to pose a huge threat to our defense line.

What's more, they also had Hebrew artillery to help. ”

"Hebrews of dog days!" Li Xiu scolded.

Suddenly, Li Xiu seemed to think of something.

"The warships that the Spaniards ordered from us have not been delivered yet." It suddenly occurred to Li Xiu that the Spaniards had also ordered two battleships from themselves.

Counting the days, it will be delivered within one or two months.

"It has been delivered to the Spanish Navy." Xiao Zhan whispered.

"Didn't you mean next month?" Li Xiu's eyes widened.

"But the Spaniards said that they believe in the strength of our Ming Dynasty. The sea trial doesn't have to take so long, just let their people drive away.

Madam...... Madame also approved the note. ”

"Damn, am I the commander of the Navy or is she the commander of the navy.

In the future, if any of you dare to take her note, don't blame me for being polite. ”

"No!"

"No!"

“……！”

A group of generals and colonels were speechless!

It's all a matter of the two of you, how dare these petty officers speak.

"Immediately block the Dardanelles, as well as the Bosphorus. These two battleships must not be allowed to enter the Black Sea. ”

Li Xiu ordered with a snort.

"Commander, the blockade of the Bosphorus requires the nod of the marshal. Let's ...... I don't have this permission!

Besides, you transferred two divisions from Constantinople, and now there is only one division left in Constantinople.

The naval fleet has also been transferred from Constantinople, and now we have little ability to block the straits.

If you just rely on the shore battery, you will be a little powerless. ”

The navy understands this truth, and naval warships are roaming the sea. But the batteries on land are fixed!

Comparatively speaking, it is very difficult to hit such a target directly as a naval warship.

And the batteries on land, it was easy to hit.

In the past, there was no weight limit for the turret. Large-caliber artillery will be erected on the battery, one depends on the range of the artillery, and the other depends on the power of the artillery.

It seems that those small destroyers, with a single shot of more than 200 mm guns, must be a proper serious injury.

Also due to weight limitations, the range and caliber of the guns on the ship cannot be compared with the shore batteries.

However, the appearance of battleships reversed the situation.

The caliber of the battleships made by the Ming Dynasty even reached 480 mm.

The cannonball is a man tall!

This kind of thing fell on the bunker, a reinforced concrete fortification three or five meters thick, no different from tofu slag.

Now the Ming sold the battleship to the Hebrews, still the latest type.

The 480 mm guns on it were a great threat to the batteries on the shore of Constantinople.

Even the thousand-year-old megalithic walls of Constantinople are like scum in the face of such furious artillery.

"Fuck it!" Li Xiu slapped the table hard, shaking the teacups on it with a "snap" and "pop".

Although he was unhappy, he couldn't help it. The Marine Corps is now under Zuo Liangyu's control, and it is no longer him, the naval commander, who has the final say.

Besides, Zuo Liangyu transferred troops to support Basra, which was also something that could not be helped.

In the hearts of the Ming magnates, Basra was even more important than Constantinople.

Because Basra has oil, there is an inexhaustible supply of oil.

According to the big marshal, there is no problem with the existing oil reserves to last for a hundred years.

The most important thing is that the Ming magnates have oil fields there. Of course, Li Xiu himself has oil fields there.

The oil field is too important, and Daming needs oil more and more.

Their own navy, too, is increasingly in need of stones.

The newly built ships of the Ming Dynasty are now oil-oriented.

Without oil, the Ming Navy would not be able to move half a ship at all.

Zuo Liangyu had a few dares not to protect Basra.

As for the naval vessels, it is not only necessary to ensure the transfer of troops.

It is also necessary to provide fire support for the counterinsurgency forces along the coast.

Two battleships are now on the outskirts of Basra, providing fire support.

Even the arsenal ships, which have not been used for a long time, are concentrated in the waters of Basra.

It is not known how many ships are fed daily for the fierce fighting forces in Basra.

Basra has completely become a black hole that devours troops.

Li Xiu stopped talking, because he found that he was almost left without troops.

"Commander, the marshal has already recruited troops on a large scale in the country.

I heard that the 1st Cavalry Division has also left for Tianjinwei and is preparing to come to our aid by boat.

Right now, we can only keep a few points from being lost.

Cairo must be guarded, this is the headquarters.

The Suez Canal Zone must not have a problem. Naturally, it is also heavily guarded!

Not to mention Basra, where the oil fields are too important.

The rest of the place, Crete, Ceylon, Rhodes. These are Mediterranean islands, and as long as we maintain a strong naval presence, no one will dare to do anything to them. ”

The chief of staff made a proposal to Li Xiu.

This is also a way to do now, after all, the number of troops is limited. The Kurds plus the Arabs, the number of rebels is already more than a dozen times that of the Ming army.

Moreover, the weapons in their hands are not rags like firearms.

If it is really hard to carry, it is really enough for the Ming army to drink a pot.

"Well, just do as the chief of staff wants.

Generate electricity for Dashuai, we need support here. It is recommended to transfer the Sikh division formed by India first, and the Gurkha division to support first. ”

In fact, Li Xiu also has Indian divisions in his hands, but except for the Gurkhas, the combat effectiveness of other Indians is quite scum.

That's it, I'm too lazy to die all day. They need to be deterred by beating sticks so that they can do their jobs well.

Sometimes Li Xiu doesn't understand, he can live as a person. But in the end, it was no different from the dirt dogs on the street.

But it can't be helped, Indians are like this. Even if you have mana to the sky, please go down to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, there is no way.

In fact, they did not kneel on the ground in front of the position to chant Buddha, which is already the greatest respect for the Ming Dynasty.

Asking Li Xiao for a Sikh division and a Gurkha division is entirely because there are really no soldiers available.

"No!"

Li Xiu was arranging here, and the Hebrews were not idle.

Moshe Dayan, at this time, was hiding in a house in Gaza.

"This is Damascus, and as long as we take Damascus, we will be able to build a solid support.

Divide the Ming army in the Middle East into two.

The Egyptian army was unable to support Basra, and the coalition forces attacking Basra had put enough pressure on Basra.

Therefore, Damascus is the most important. Moses Dayan sat excitedly in his chair, his injured eye hurting so badly that he had to put on a mask.

"The Syrian king is very difficult to deal with, and we sent several waves of people to try to rebel, but without success.

He even publicly executed several of us at the stake two months ago.

He also said that only the Ming in the world is a friend of Syria. We Hebrews are just clowns. ”

"Grandma, since he doesn't listen to the greetings, then fucking kill him. Anyway, along the way, we have killed no less than ten kings.

One more, it's not that difficult. Moshe Dayan said, looking at Damascus in the distance.

"The most important thing now is to conquer Damascus.

If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus will be in it, and if heaven is in the sky, Damascus will be on a par with it. ”
