Just hit the city of Sophia, and was about to order the siege of the city, but the airship brought a shocking news.

"Ran away......!" Man Gui was so angry that his head was dizzy.

Attacking all the way north from Sasenita, the whole army was almost in a galloping state.

The boat bridge unit built a pontoon bridge under enemy fire, and many soldiers died with ropes tied to their waists.

Sacrifices were made, but the Hebrews were not able to be captured.

Man Gui felt the blood rushing to his brain!

"What is Zhang Zheng doing to eat, he can't even blow up a boat."

"Master Man! Something happened. The staff officer looked left and right, and his eyes were shy.

"What's wrong?" Man Gui's eyes widened.

"Two planes crashed and hit the deck directly. The pilots are dead, and the Navy is investigating. The staff officer whispered.

"Both aircraft carriers were hit?" Man Gui waved his hand to the left and right, and the guards retreated to the distance to be on guard, strictly prohibiting idle people from approaching.

"What's going on? How is it possible for two planes to collide with two aircraft carriers separately? Man Gui felt a little incredible.

An accident on an aircraft carrier is not a big deal, just like a few days ago, when the Shandong was recovering the plane at night, a plane crashed directly on the back deck because of the problem of night lights.

As a direct result, the Shandong could not take off and land aircraft.

After emergency repairs, they barely reached the battlefield of Constantinople.

Can...... Two planes hit the flight decks of two aircraft carriers at the same time, which is probably something wrong.

Man Gui immediately became alert!

"Don't you mean?

Two planes, one after another, crashed into the deck of the aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier only recovered about half of the aircraft, and the rest could not be helped, and the pilots were forced to parachute.

The planes are all destroyed!

The deck of the aircraft carrier is now being repaired, and I heard that the materials are not all used, and it is impossible to repair them in a short time.

That is, the aircraft carrier was largely scrapped.

The commander has ordered a thorough investigation, and both aircraft carriers will also return to Alexandria for repairs.

Without air superiority on the battlefield, it is impossible to break through the Hebrew net.

Fortunately, the Hebrews did not know about these things, otherwise they would have fought back.

We are in Constantinople, and now we have less than two divisions.

The Hebrews really fought back, the aircraft carrier could not be used, and it was still unknown who killed the deer. ”

"Are there any other orders from above?" Man Gui's eyes were a little uncertain.

Now that the Hebrews have withdrawn, there will be no point in continuing to attack Iasi. Moreover, the amount of fuel consumed by the armored forces in a day is definitely a headache.

In the absence of Stuka escort, Daming's large airship is actually easy to attack.

That thing flies too slowly.

Coupled with its huge body, it is a good target for anti-aircraft guns.

The only way to avoid artillery fire on the ground is to fly at high altitudes.

But no matter how high it flies, the airship always has to land on the ground.

"A telegram has been sent to the country, and the commander of the Navy cannot command you. You have to be handsome to speak! ”

"The whole army turned back to Constantinople, as you said. The defense of Constantinople was so weak that these two divisions would not have been able to hold out for even a day if the Hebrews attacked. ”

Man Gui knew the importance of Constantinople.

He decided to leave Sophia alone and went straight east to Constantinople to support the Marines there.

It would be difficult enough to replenish the march, and if you attack Sofia again, plus the consumption of ammunition, the logistics will be even more difficult.

And to Constantinople, everything will be much better.

After all, Constantinople was close to the sea.

Whether it's oil or ammunition, replenishment at sea will be much better.

Let them deal with the affairs of the Navy themselves. Man Gui knew that no matter what happened, Li Xiu, the commander of the navy, would be safe.

Li Xiao, who was far away in the capital, received the telegram and felt a little confused!

"When the two aircraft carriers landed planes, almost at the same time, one of the planes smashed into the deck.

This is a fucking coincidence, isn't it?

One of the planes, also fucking crashed with a bomb.

Landing with bombs, which is simply not allowed by the regulations. Stilwell took the telegram in his hand and slapped it on the table hatefully.

The entire Constantinople plan, because of the crash of two planes, was all in vain.

Originally, this plan would have annihilated at least half of the Hebrew army.

Right now! It's all over!

As the architect of the plan, Stilwell can definitely be described as angry now.

Li Xiao leaned back in his chair and did not have any expression of frustration.

"It's already happened, just let Luzhu check it.

I think this incident exposes one of our problems.

After a telegram has been delivered several times, it will take more than ten hours or even longer to reach our Ming Dynasty.

It's a day!

The troops also have to wait a day before they make a decision.

In this way, it is easy to go wrong.

At this point in the war, we were almost tied with the Hebrews.

They attacked Constantinople, and we withdrew, but suffered heavy casualties.

Three Marine divisions, and two Sikh divisions were largely scrapped.

But we managed to hold on!

At the same time, we can continue to block the Bosphorus and Dardanelles!

In other words, from now on the Hebrews will no longer receive funding from the sea.

They need strategic supplies, as well as all kinds of external assistance. They all have to be transported in two ways!

One is the railway through Kiev!

The other is through the territory of the Romanians, and then transiting the Black Sea route.

Either way, it would have been more difficult for the Hebrews to get supplies.

Moreover, the fleet built by the Hebrews with a lot of money was also trapped in the Black Sea, and could not go out of the Mediterranean to do things.

In other words, there is no strength in the Mediterranean that can compete with our Ming navy.

Everything is still good for our army, that is, for the Hebrews to survive for another two years. ”

"Handsome!

The Hebrews still had a lot to gain by these two lines, especially the Kiev railway.

They have direct access to industrial raw materials from Poland and Western Europe. As you know, trains are in no way inferior in carrying capacity to ships.

The Hebrews in the Crimea were already very industrialized, even power plants.

If we let them develop for a few more years, they will be our even more intractable enemies. ”

"So! We are going to cut off the line of Kyiv.

Kiev is the birthplace of the Slavs, and Russia has long been haunted by the loss of Kyiv.

Now the Russian army has a chance to regain Kyiv. Then let the Russian army recover it!

Didn't the Hebrews bring a message to the Ming to negotiate?

Then let Zheng Sen talk to them, as a strong man. What we can't get on the battlefield, we have to get our hands on at the negotiating table.

In addition, two aircraft carriers were ordered to return directly to the Bombay shipyard for repair.

There were so many spies in Alexandria that it was hard to keep it a secret.

At the same time, the Port of Mumbai was notified to make every effort to repair the Liaodong, which was slightly injured. Be sure to let the Liaodong return to the battlefield as soon as possible!

To deal with the Hebrews, the battleships still need aircraft carriers.

In addition, the construction of the airport of Constantinople should begin as soon as possible.

All of this was sent separately in the name of the General Staff. ”

In Li Xiao's mind, he quickly calculated a countermeasure.

The Hebrews were so struck that they had no choice but to compromise with the Ming until they had no way to deal with the planes.

Just keep the matter of the aircraft carrier secret, so that the Hebrews think that planes will fly to bomb them at any time.

Then they can only be at the negotiating table, let the Ming take what they want.

Sevastopol was right on the Black Sea, and the industrial capacity of the Hebrews could easily be destroyed by bombing the Ming Dynasty.

If we take 10,000 steps back, we will not make real progress in the negotiations. It can also play a role in delaying the Hebrews and buying time for the repair of two aircraft carriers.

It's just that the deck is damaged, and it doesn't take much time to repair it.

Let Russia launch an offensive against Kyiv, which is in line with Catherine's appetite.

She has always wanted to take back the birthplace of the Slavs!

Now that she has this opportunity, she will surely fight the Hebrews to the death.

A fighting race armed with Ming weapons is not necessarily worse than the Hebrews.

To a certain extent, this can also involve the energy of the Hebrews and buy time for the Ming Dynasty.

"What should I do with Master Man?" Stilwell asks another tricky question.

The original plan was that Manye led his army directly into Iasi and cut off the back route of the Hebrew landing force.

But now it seems that this path is completely unworkable.

In the absence of air and sea supremacy, it is somewhat dangerous for the 1st Cavalry Division to be deployed in a place like Iasi.

"Looking at it now, it is wrong to deploy Man Ye in this direction.

Our punch is a short.

It would have been nice to transport the 1st Cavalry Division to the Northern Front earlier.

Now in Minsk, we will have more forces to deal with the attack of the Polish coalition.

That's right!

Intelligenceally, France mobilized for war? The analysis of the General Staff, how long it will take France to mobilize for the war. ”

Li Xiao was a little helpless, in the end, he was still a chess player.

In the deployment of the First Cavalry Division, he played a bad move.

"The intelligence from France is relatively rich, and we have cultivated a lot of people who are interested in the Ming Dynasty in France.

These people are still active in universities and journalism, and there are also some well-known experts and professors who have learned from them, and they are still exposed to more secrets.

Napoleon had not recently mobilized for war, and so did Prussia.

The Pope, however, appeared anxious.

Several times he urged France to send troops to Poland to drive the heretics out of the land of Jesus Christ.

I think the reason why France didn't mobilize was because it was winter. At this time, the mobilization and combat time must be in the winter.

Napoleon had too many lessons in the Russian winter. He doesn't want to fight in Russia in the winter!

This is just a guess! Stilwell said with some modesty.

"I don't want to fight in the winter, and that's a good reason. After all, the last invasion of Napoleon was so defeated that he almost didn't even come back.

In that case, let's make a time difference!

Ordered the Manchu to go to St. Petersburg by sea.

On the way, it is necessary to send more naval support.

Our first batch of soldiers has been enriched to the Middle East battlefield.

Then let the boys fight well and bring out the national and military prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the forces have been strengthened, then withdraw the battleships.

All of them gathered on the island of Crete to form a large task force to escort the man to St. Petersburg.

Man Ye and Ao Ye are mixed together, and it is a fist power.

Tell Catherine that the autumn harvest is over and she can carry out a national mobilization.

Recruit soldiers and get ready for battle!

Kyiv is only the beginning, and in the future, we will have to fight against the Western European coalition in the cloak of religion.

The opponents may have millions of people, but ours is much better.

The only thing to rejoice in now is that our general mobilization for war was brought forward by at least five months.

Moreover, the total population of our Ming Dynasty is larger than the total population of the entire West.

Under these conditions, our military-civilian ratio will be even smaller.

Even if millions of young adults are sent to join the army, it will not affect the current economy and production of the Ming Dynasty.

And our army was mobilized five months earlier than they did, and they were more trained than they were.

We have a big advantage!

This is a battle to gamble on the fortunes of the country, and we cannot afford to lose. ”

Li Xiao was very glad that he blocked Xinjiapo eight years in advance.

Foreigners are absolutely not allowed to cross the Strait of Malacca into the South China Sea.

If there is no special pass, the Westerners found on the South China Sea. It doesn't matter what country you're on!

The Ming Dynasty will kill all the people on the ship and confiscate the ship.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty humanely sent the heads back to the Wa Kingdom or North Korea. Tell them why these people were beheaded.

After several unreasonable killings, no ship dared to take Westerners into the South China Sea.

Of course, because of the difference in appearance.

When foreigners arrive in the Ming Dynasty, they are the targets of key inspections by the government.

If you don't have that special pass, you will be caught with a knife, and you don't even need to say hello to the criminal department, the county master can solve it himself.

The Criminal Department is in charge of the affairs of the Ming people, and the affairs of foreigners are not to worry about the adults.

These are the two sentences of the county order that are not salty or light!

Li Xiao felt that such an official still had a head.

After all kinds of arrangements, the intelligence was almost unilaterally transparent to the Ming Dynasty.

This is very helpless for the West!

After all, there are too many countries in Europe and too many fragments.

For example, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and Belgium is as small as a pinnose compared to the Ming Dynasty.

With so many countries, there is simply no synergy.

Daming's cheap industrial manufactured products have become the best weapon to open the market.

In almost every country in Europe, there are active Ming merchants.

And the Europeans who serve the Ming people can't say how many.

All you can say is a lot, a lot, a lot!

In this case, it is too easy for Daming to obtain information about Europe.

What's more, there is also a stick of European so-called learned guys, who already regard Daming as a paradise on earth in their hearts.

Desperately betrayed the intelligence of his motherland, and accepted Daming's name.
