"The Russians massacred Polish officers in the Katyn Forest?" Li Xiao took the telegram from Stilwell's hand, a little helpless.

Lao Maozi still couldn't help it, the barbarism in their bones.

"Ao Ye is very angry, these officers are also sold for money. Besides, there were several marshals in it, and the Poles promised to pay for them.

But now ......! Struwell was a little embarrassed.

He knows Ao Ye's temper, and when it comes to the meat in his mouth, no one should worry about it.

Now that the money in his pocket is flying, he may be angry and may want to find Catherine's bad luck.

"Oh! Marshal, since he is a marshal, the body can also be sold. Let the Russians find the bodies of all those marshals and generals.

Get some good coffins, pack them and sell them to Poland.

Tell the Poles that they don't want to give money, the Russians will take it and feed the dogs.

As for the rest of the officers, let the Russians pay for it.

The number makes Ao Ye look at it!

Now when Catherine is begging us, we can't let him go. ”

A handsome is a handsome, and the problem is solved in a few words.

"The Poles have sent a minister to negotiate with us. What kind of conditions does Da Ming want to withdraw his troops! ”

Zheng Sen also came to Li Xiao's office, he was in charge of Honglu Temple, and this kind of thing was in his charge.

"Withdrawal?

Why do you want to withdraw your troops, the Middle East has become that virtuous, I can't bear to use the expeditionary force.

To withdraw troops now?

Oh, yes! Let them cede Warsaw to us. In addition, there are several important ports in Poland ....... ”

"The main ports in Poland are Gdansk, Svenosche, Sopot, Gdynia, and many more."

Zheng Sen has obviously done his homework!

"Whatever, find two good harbors and cede them to us. In addition, between these two ports and Warsaw, we will build a railway.

The Ming National Defense Forces have the right to garrison troops within 20 kilometers on both sides of the railway. The ownership of the railway was also completely owned by the Ming Empire.

Belch......! The reparations were opened, and the Polish treasury was drained, and the kind of debt that had to be carried for decades.

And also......! Li Xiao was still thinking about the terms, and Zheng Sen was already messy.

The Poles will not agree to such conditions in any case!

This is simply a condition for the extinction of the race, and the Poles also have to save face.

"Dashuai, you ...... You are unlikely to agree to this condition to which the Poles will agree. ”

"What they want is that they don't agree, and if they don't agree, they will continue to fight.

If you don't fight, how can you pull Napoleon into the water. This battle will break the backbone of France and Prussia.

Our ultimate goal is to dismember all the great powers of Europe.

Europe was to be divided into hundreds of small countries under the witness of the Ming Dynasty, just as they did in the Middle Ages. ”

Li Xiao pointed to the map of Europe!

There are several great powers in Europe, Russia, Poland and Lithuania, the growing power of Prussia, France, Austria-Hungary, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, ......!

Li Xiao looked at these huge countries, although these countries were just a province in the Ming Dynasty.

However, Li Xiao knows that these countries have developed. How will it threaten the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty!

These countries must be dismembered and divided into numerous small States.

As long as the country is small, it will not make much waves.

It's like India now, if there is no such figure as Qin Shi Huang in India. Da Ming can control there forever!

Zheng Sen finally understood that Li Xiao's criteria for choosing enemies were not because of any prejudice. His standard is to be strong!

As long as a country is strong, it will become the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter what means are used, the Ming will dismember that country into several, or dozens of small countries.

As long as they become small countries, they will not threaten the position of the Ming Dynasty.

It has to be said that this is the most effective way to strike at the enemy.

Only in this way can the Ming Empire maintain its leadership position.

If this continues, the Ming Empire can rule the world forever, forever.

I have to say that Dashuai is indeed far-sighted.

Li Xiao didn't speak, and others didn't dare to speak, so the office was quiet.

"You go and do it, if Poland really accepts our conditions. Prussia will also feel uneasy!

There was a tiger next to the couch, and no one would sleep soundly.

Bismarck and Frederick were not good at fighting, and iron-blooded Prussia was also good at fighting. ”

"You mean ......, drag Prussia into the war as well?

It was a country with a standing army of 500,000 that could mobilize more than 2 million troops.

Plus France, even if the First Army of the Expeditionary Force was so elite. It's impossible to resist!

The Russian army, which has been hit one after another, now has only 400,000 personnel.

They are not even opponents of the Poles!

Don't forget, big marshal, there is also Israel in the Crimea. Israel now has a standing army of more than 300,000 men, and its will to fight is very tenacious.

Their infantry can fight with the Marines in the Middle East.

We have to fight against so many powerful enemies at the same time...... this ...... It's a bit risky.

After all, our supply lines are long. If the scale of the war is too large, the consumption will inevitably increase.

The logistical supply ...... will be difficult to guarantee. ”

Hearing Li Xiao's grand plan, Steenway was taken aback.

He is the chief of the General Staff, and he knows too well the family background of the Ming army.

Taken together, the standing army, including the navy and the newly formed air force, is only a million people.

There are even fewer standing armies!

The army has only four main divisions all year round, and although the strength varies, the total number of troops basically does not exceed 400,000.

Now although millions of conscripts are conscripted, the training is not over. The Middle East also needs troops!

With men and horses in the Russian direction, it is impossible to exceed half a million people.

"My Chief of the General Staff, you have overlooked one thing. That's the time!

With the current national strength of our Ming Dynasty, it is not too difficult to recruit these million soldiers.

After all, I have a population of more than 400 million people today. One million people were recruited, and the ratio of soldiers to people was only 400 to one.

That is, one soldier for every four hundred people.

But what is the total population of Prussia and France?

France had a population of 30 million, and Prussia had a little more, 41 million.

These are the two most powerful countries in Europe, and they are also the targets of our focus this time.

The rest of the countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have a population of only two or three million, or even more than a million.

They wanted to gather an army of millions, and the ratio of the military to the civilian ratio was thirty to forty to one.

That is to say, their people are to have thirty or forty people to support one person.

At this point, we are ten times more than them.

Their build-up of such a large army will inevitably delay domestic food and industrial production.

It is industry that fights wars, so they cannot let go of industrial production.

Those who can be recruited are more peasants.

That is, if we drag them. A year later, their food was scarved.

If it drags on for three or four years, the fat man will also be dragged into a thin man, and the thin man will be dragged to death.

Of course, this is the general strategy, and our goal this time is to consume their national strength.

And then, when the people at home are dissatisfied. Dismember them!

Tactically, we're going to have resilient defenses.

What is Resilient Defense?

Mechanization gives us a mobile advantage on the battlefield, and we can repeatedly tug at the scene on the battlefield.

With the step by step of the battle line, in exchange for their huge casualties.

They needed to mobilize for three months for the war, and they needed to mobilize for war for about that long.

But don't forget, we mobilized two months earlier than theirs.

That is, even if it is a war today. We also have two months more time than them!

In these two months, we can stock up on supplies and mobilize reinforcements!

As for the Hebrews, they are still dreaming of annexing the oil fields of the Middle East. For the time being, I don't have the energy to participate in the war in Eastern Europe.

Perhaps, they were still dreaming of storming Constantinople. ”

"Marshal, are you saying they want to attack Constantinople?" Stilwell was shocked.

Constantinople's forces were almost emptied, and now there was only one marine division and a couple of destroyers.

And today's Israel, with its mighty navy of four battleships.

Under the situation of the other, Constantinople is definitely in danger.

"Yes! Just waiting for them to attack, I think attacking the Middle East may be a front for them.

The seizure of control of Constantinople was their fundamental goal.

After all, Constantinople was like a pair of hands, stuck in their necks.

They were so stuck that now they wanted to break free of those hands. ”

Li Xiao pointed to Constantinople and smiled.

"If they attack now, I'm afraid Constantinople won't hold out for a few days." Stilwell is not as confident as Li Xiao.

"Don't worry!

The Liaodong ship and Shandong have already passed Suez, and in two or three days they will be able to reach Crete.

Oh, and the first division of the full man. ”

"I know that, but ......!

But the enemy had four battleships and at least forty destroyers. Other small ships are not counted yet!

Two aircraft carriers ......! ”

"Huh! Two aircraft carriers are enough to deal with four battleships.

As for the Israeli Army, Man's 1st Cavalry Division will eat them up and wipe them clean. I have no doubt about that.

Therefore, as long as Constantinople could hold out for more than seven days, the garrison on Crete would rush over.

As long as the landing fleet is eliminated, the Israeli soldiers who have landed on the beachhead will only be live targets.

If you want to survive, you can only return to Crimea by land.

In this way, they can only go to the territory of the Romanians.

Over the years, the Israelis have bullied Romania no less.

Now, the time has come for revenge. ”

Li Xiao took a puff of his cigar, looking like an old god.

The muscles in Stilwell's face twitched!

No wonder Dad said that this handsome man is a genius who uses soldiers.

Thousands of miles away...... Thousands of miles away, the Israelites were counted in their bones.

A few days ago, he wondered that the 1st Cavalry Division, which was supposed to be used in Basra, had crossed the Suez Canal to Crete.

The waist pole of a diplomat, depending on the combat effectiveness of the army.

Just like the current Zheng Sen, he is very arrogant in the face of Polish envoys.

"The conditions of the Ming Dynasty were very clear, ceding the ports of Gdansk and Svenosche in northern Poland.

And the capital Warsaw!

Vilnius was established as a special administrative region, and the Ming had the right to garrison troops there.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will build a railway between Gdansk, the port of Svenosche and Warsaw and Vilnius.

The Ming Dynasty was within 20 kilometers of both sides of the railway and had the right to garrison troops to protect the railway.

Poland had to pay the Ming Empire a war reparation of 500 tons of gold.

Other than that......! ”

With the victory on the battlefield as the foundation, Zheng Sen is no longer a lion's mouth, but a whale's mouth.

As the translator paraphrased, the faces of the Polish envoys became more and more ugly.

This is even lower than the lowest bottom line given to him by the Polish emperor.

With his authority, it is simply impossible to accept such conditions!

This is not a peace talk, this is a declaration of war.

It is strange to say that although the battlefield has become a pot of porridge, the two countries have not declared war.

The First Army of the Daming Expeditionary Force is known as the First Army of Russian Mercenaries.

In other words, these people were hired by the Russian Empress Catherine and belonged to the Nabo people who took money to do things.

The Ming Empire, as the mother country of these people, could persuade these mercenaries to return home if they negotiated terms with Poland.

To a certain extent, diplomacy is to use the most polite language and say the most shameful words.

Zheng Sen, it did.

"Lord Zheng, is there no room for turning around in this matter?

You know, it is impossible for the Poles to give up Vilnius, and even more so to Warsaw.

We are not ......! The Polish envoy also wanted to see if there was room for turnaround.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Sen opened his mouth first: "Honorable envoy!"

You figured it out, now it's us who are winning on the battlefield. Not you!

The generals at the front told me that we can take your Warsaw now if we want to.

I know that these conditions are difficult for you to accept. Moreover, you don't have that permission either.

Daming is not an unkind place, we will give you a month. Starting tomorrow, within a month, the Ming army will not take the initiative to provoke incidents.

The two sides have established a ceasefire based on the existing Line of Actual Control.

However, a month later, Daming did not receive a reply. Then we will attack!

When the time comes, Warsaw will inevitably become our possession.

And then, the conditions can be even harsher. Even so, we will ask for more ports, and the Ming people will ask for more privileges.

Honorable Envoy!

Now is the time to speak with strength, please and your emperor to understand this.

I think you're going to be busy, so don't waste time with me.

Drop-off! With a wave of his hand, Zheng Sen interrupted the Polish envoy who wanted to speak, stood up and walked away.

The Polish envoy was maddened by the pride of the Ming diplomat, who spoke fluent English.

But he didn't have anything to do, as he said.

Now is the time to speak with strength, Poland is not strong, and it is natural to be humiliated.

"What are we going to do?"

"What else can I do, go to the telegraph office and send a telegram to Warsaw. Tell Warsaw everything about here! ”
