"How's going on at the front? I heard that the Christians of Europe are united to fight to the death against our Ming Dynasty. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled, not like he was talking about the war, but like he was talking about whether the roast duck was crispy tonight.

"In the end, it's the wool that hurts the sheep.

Our trade deficit with Europe is too large, and now Europe is also developing industry.

But the raw material production areas in the world are occupied by us.

Coal, oil, iron, copper, ......, they need as many deposits as mountains.

But many of those small countries in Europe do not have our Beijing Normal University.

Where do they get the resources?

If you want to fight against our Ming Dynasty, you want to force us to give up those overseas mineral deposits after winning the Ming Dynasty.

Those things are the economic lifeblood of our Ming Dynasty.

If those places had been abandoned, so many people's hard work would have been wasted over the years. Li Xiao shook his head, it was impossible for Daming to give up those overseas raw material sources.

"Huh! Eating the meat in your mouth, you want us to spit it out, where is it so easy.

Do it with them, we have 40,000 people in the Ming Dynasty.

There are planes, artillery, tanks!

If we really fight, will we be afraid of them? ”

For the Ming army, Sun Chengzong was full of enigmatic confidence.

In fact, as long as they are Ming people, they all feel that the Ming Dynasty should win the battle. No one thought that Daming would be defeated!

Because in the past 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has won 100 percent of foreign wars.

The perennial victory has greatly encouraged the self-confidence of Daming Baixin.

In those small cities in the Western Regions, even the poor Han people in patched clothes would not give a good look to the rich people of different races in silk.

Those rich people of different races have to look at the faces of those poor people.

Even in areas inhabited by people of different races, absolutely no one dares to discriminate against and bully the Han Chinese.

But when the identity reaches the identity level of Li Xiao, the more this situation is, the more trembling he is walking on thin ice.

After all, Europe is also a civilization that has flourished for thousands of years.

Although in antiquity and the Middle Ages, Europeans did not mix well and did not evolve a vast centralized dynasty.

However, people have evolved a unified religion.

And for a thousand years, people on the European continent have practiced this religion.

Now all the great powers of Europe are united, driven by religion.

I want to fight with Daming!

Their population is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, and all the industries are combined, and the Ming Dynasty is not too much.

More importantly, the war broke out in Europe.

In other words, their supply routes were much shorter than those of the Ming Dynasty.

And on the Ming side, the industrial zones around Moscow are even in their infancy.

Five years is simply not enough time to build an industrial zone.

The war attrition completely depends on the Central Asian railway.

The Central Asian Railway is operating at full capacity, and it can only supply the war needs of 300,000 people.

Now the Central Asian railway has been running to the extreme, and the double-track project cannot be completed in a day or two.

In battlefield wars, the Ming Dynasty is not sure of victory.

Even if there are planes, artillery, tanks.

Although the Ming Dynasty has advanced weapons, it has not yet reached the point of generation difference.

The decade-long industrialization of Europe as a whole also greatly increased the war potential of European countries.

"Old Sun!

The European coalition has already launched an attack, just two days ago. They attacked the Russian army on all fronts!

And our troops, just retreated to the east of Moscow.

Only two cavalry regiments were in Minsk, which also escaped.

In the Minsk region, and even to the whole of Smolensk. None of the Russian troops have much resistance and it would be nice if they were able to pull out.

The future war will basically be waged on the front line of Smolensk and Moscow.

Whether they will win or not is still unknown, because they found out that they are also smart and already know how to deal with planes.

Several of the planes that went out to reconnoiter yesterday failed to return, and several were injured.

In the future, not only will our airships not be able to take off, but even our planes will not be able to fly freely.

God knows, what will they do to attack our tanks.

In any case, their tanks are new, primitive in many ways.

Especially the engine, it is difficult to say whether it can withstand the cold of Russia.

This battle is not easy to fight! ”

Li Xiao knew that even Sun Chengzong was so optimistic, not to mention the officials in the court and the ordinary people in the streets and alleys.

"You want to withdraw to Moscow and fight the Europeans?" After many years of military career, Sun Chengzong was keenly aware of the meaning of Li Xiao's words.

"There's no way, it's far away and the logistics can't be replenished."

"Moscow ......!

You kid is trying to drag the European coalition forces into the mud, Ao Canghai and Man Gui have so many trucks in their hands, and they can't ensure supplies.

Those French army Prussian troops, they are still using carriages.

That's even more impossible to complete the army supply!

Wait a minute!

Let the old man think about it, you are trying to procrastinate. After being dragged to the ground and frozen hard, it is convenient for the tank armored vehicle to move is not! ”

Sure enough, nothing escaped the eyes of the old fox.

Sun Chengzong guessed casually, and he guessed Li Xiao's strategy.

"I really can't hide anything from Sun Lao." Li Xiao admired Sun Chengzong's intuitive acumen.

At the same time, an ominous thought arose in my heart!

Do you take your ideas for granted?

Sun Chengzong can figure out his strategy with a little thought, but what about Napoleon?

You must know that all those who have left a name in history are not incompetent people.

Napoleon can have such a great reputation in military history, how can he be a general?

What's more, along with Napoleon were military geniuses like Frederick, Bismarck, and Moltke.

Their strategy looks beautiful, but it is still a little difficult to deceive them.

What if they guess their strategy? What kind of strategy will they employ?

Li Xiao felt a tingling in his spine for a moment!

Because now one of his decisions can make thousands of people die for it.

What to do?

"Oh! Why did you suddenly stop talking, what did you think? Sun Chengzong was stunned when he saw Li Xiao and asked curiously.

"Elder Sun, I'm wondering what would happen if my strategy was detected by them? What strategies will they employ against us? ”

Li Xiao didn't have the slightest clue now, so he could only ask the old fox in front of him tentatively.

He wasn't sure if the old fox would be able to give an accurate answer.

After all, the old guy has been away from the military and political circles of the Ming Dynasty for too long.

"Huh! You asked, the old man has done some research recently. Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

In the study of the Sun family, there is a huge map of Europe.

Especially in Eastern Europe, it is particularly enlarged.

It's very lively with red and blue pencil scribbles!

"Now you are still you, I am Napoleon.

Your side withdraws troops, and my side attacks at the same time.

What does it mean?

It shows that there are their spies within the Russian army, and it is not easy to investigate the affairs of this spy, and if it is not good, it may be the head of Catherina's daughters.

Since you know that Daming withdrew its troops, you must also know why Daming withdrew its troops.

It also shows that the weaknesses of your carefully crafted armored forces are seen through at a glance.

That's the supply line!

Your armored forces can be on a rampage or unscrupulous. But your tank needs to drink gas, and you need ammunition to fight.

At the end of the day, how much fuel and ammunition are needed?

What do you say to do when the airship is limited by anti-aircraft guns and it is impossible to achieve front-line replenishment? ”

"The range of movement of armored forces, which is limited to a hundred kilometers.

Without supplies, you can only attack so far. Li Xiao sighed helplessly.

After driving a hundred kilometers, you have to drive back with a hundred kilometers of travel.

This back and forth, that's 200 kilometers.

"Okay, just a hundred kilometers.

The day intersperses you with the night. Hey! I'll take advantage of the numbers, and take advantage of the dark nights.

Hit your logistics, and let the tanks and armored vehicles that you break into become decorations.

And in dark conditions, there will be more opportunities to get close to tank armored vehicles.

You don't need a cannon or anything, you can be overturned by blowing it up with a dynamite pack. ”

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Li Xiao nodded.

To tell the truth, infantry fighting tanks is to rely on night combat approach.

"Then I'll be near Moscow, keeping a fifty km assault distance.

Raid in during the day and withdraw at night. It does not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but mainly kills and injures local living forces.

This is called ......, elastic defense. Li Xiao immediately remembered the tactics used by the Americans in North Korea.

"Resilient defense, that's a good idea.

Don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and focus on killing and injuring the enemy's vital forces.

This trick is really powerful.

Then I will not attack you Moscow, but stop along the Dnieper after restoring all of Belarus.

The Dnieper River is the fourth largest river in Europe, with a large drop and a large flow velocity, which can be called a natural moat.

Even in winter, the river freezes.

I laid mines on the river, supplemented by heavy artillery bombardment.

No matter how powerful your tank is, as long as you dare to drive up the river, you will not be blown up by mines.

It was blown up by heavy artillery and sunk directly into the icy river.

Tell me, do you think of a way to cross the river?

Guess your flex tactics, you can't be resilient on the Dnieper. ”

Sun Chengzong was obviously prepared, and smiled like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken.

"Uh......!" Li Xiao's face immediately became very ugly.

If this is the case, the front can only stop along the Dnieper.

That is, Belarus, which has just arrived, has again fallen into the hands of the coalition forces.

This will not only be a huge blow to the morale of the Russians, but will also increase the pressure on Catherine.

Under pressure, it is difficult to guarantee that Catherine may do something close to Europe.

After all, traditional Russia is still Europeans who consider themselves from the Great Forest of Sweden.

Psychologically, they are more accepting of Europe than the Ming from Asia.

Once Catherine defects, the consequence will be that all the investments made by the Ming Dynasty in Russia will be wasted.

Moreover, Daming doesn't even have a foothold and a gripper in Europe.

Even if Man Ye and Ao Ye withdraw in time, the front line against Europe will be pulled to the east of the Ural Mountains and north of the Caucasus Mountains.

The biggest possibility is Uralsk.

This is something that Da Ming absolutely cannot accept.

Seeing that Li Xiao's face changed, Sun Chengzong continued: "This is not the end!

Even if the Russians did not think of a compromise, Catherine withstood the pressure.

Winter passes, and spring in Russia, even around Moscow, becomes a big muddy pool.

In this kind of place, infantry is not necessarily worse than tanks.

I'm still using my old tactics, making good use of melee and night combat.

Stay hidden during the day and don't go toe-to-toe with your armored forces.

At night, I struck on all sides. Take advantage of the dark conditions and get close to your tank and armored vehicles.

Although there will be casualties, but also be able to solve your tank vehicles, armored vehicles.

Add to that the muddy terrain and your armor superiority, and what kind of blitzkrieg are you playing.

Your tanks and armored vehicles will be turned into iron coffins.

Think of your carefully crafted armored forces being worn away by night after night.

Hehe......! Sun Chengzong sneered.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth with hatred!

This old guy is too deep in the play, and even his expression is vivid when he plays Napoleon.

"There's no trick!" Sun Chengzong looked at the deflated Li Xiao, and laughed non-stop.

As if he really was Napoleon!

"Huh! No tricks?

Don't forget, my Daming also has infantry.

Moreover, after war mobilization, the number of infantry in our Ming Dynasty was as high as one million personnel. ”

Li Xiao sneered!

"And what about the million-strong army, they are all in the Middle East now, not in Russia.

Moreover, even if they are transferred to Russia now, there is no such fast way.

After all, the most convenient and fast sea route is via the English Channel. And Gibraltar, which was controlled by the Spaniards!

Even if you have soldiers, you can't send them to the Russian battlefield.

By land, if you go now. It is estimated that spring has also begun in Russia! ”

Sun Chengzong pointed to the map and laughed.

"Who said we had to go north to help the Russians?"

Li Xiao smiled evilly, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the map.

"Today, the aircraft carriers Liaodong and Shandong have been repaired and can return to the battlefield.

And the fighters on the ship have also been strengthened.

It can be said that the current two aircraft carriers are more powerful than the previous ones.

In addition, our aircraft carrier Hebei is also on its way to the Middle East.

More importantly, with the arrival of Tran Dinh King in the Middle East, law and order in the Middle East is gradually returning to normal.

We have the right to control the sea in the Mediterranean, we have a million-strong army, and we have a maritime superiority that other countries cannot match.

You France send the whole army thousands of miles away, then ......!

Is it possible for my troops to capture Sicily and then use Sicily as a base to attack Corsica, Marseille and Toulouse.

Tell me, is it me who is uncomfortable at this time, or is he Napoleon? ”

Li Xiao's baton, pointing to the Mediterranean coast in southern France.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......!" Sun Chengzong was in too much of a hurry, and there was a violent coughing sound in the study.
