Li Xiao sat quietly on the chair of the General Staff, with a huge sand table of Eastern Europe in front of him and a huge map of Eastern Europe on the wall.

The staff officers who stepped on the ladder used red and blue pencils to mark the latest positions of both the enemy and the enemy.

On the sand table, there are also staff officers with small triangular flags on them.

Li Xiao knew that although he was just a small flag in front of him, on the real battlefield, it was a real person of flesh and blood who was sacrificing his life to fight.

Corpses strewn all over the field, stumps and broken arms, and bleeding are sometimes more than just words of embellishment.

When he first went to the battlefield, Li Xiao was excited, excited, and even had a feeling that blood was burning.

But now, that feeling is completely gone.

There is only a heavy responsibility on the shoulders!

In a way, it seems that the war is lost.

After all, the battle line is thousands of miles away from the border line of the Ming Dynasty.

But the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty, including Li Xiao, understood that the war thousands of miles away was related to the well-being of future generations for a hundred years.

As long as this war is won, the process of industrialization in the West will be completely interrupted.

For at least a hundred years, the West will no longer be able to pose any threat to the Ming Empire.

They will forever be reduced to primary labor, and there is a market for raw materials.

Of course, they will also be the last dumping market for Daming's products.

Their industry can only serve the Ming Dynasty forever and become a link in the production chain of the Ming Dynasty.

Factories in European countries will be controlled by Daming Capital. The economies of European countries will be tied up by the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that as long as the descendants of the Ming Dynasty do not make mistakes, the Ming Dynasty will rule the planet forever.

If this war is lost, then the Ming will no longer be able to deal with distant Europe.

Russia will completely defect, and Ming's huge upfront investment in Russia will be confiscated.

The European powers will be given precious respite.

They will use this precious respite to try to catch up with the technology and industry of the Ming Dynasty.

A competitor on an equal footing with Daming will appear on Europa's soil.

They will compete with the Ming on a global scale for land, resources, labor, and markets.

The taste of monopoly is too wonderful, and whoever enjoys this right will become rich and rival the country.

No one wants to give up this right, not only for individuals, but also for nations.

Daming is unwilling to give up his existing monopoly position, and he will inevitably have to fight with this competitor.

The weather on the northern route hasn't changed much, it's fucking weird.

It's already November, and it's still raining in winter. And it's still one after another, and there are few sunny days.

Winter rain during the day freezes into ice at night.

But by noon the next day, the sun will completely melt away. The road has completely turned into a swamp, not to mention a car, and it is difficult for a tank to walk on it.

Dragged down by logistical supplies, the Prussian army did not achieve anything on the Smolensk front.

At the beginning of the war, with the help of airships and tractors, they managed to advance to Smolensk in forty days.

He regained all the territory lost by Poland at the beginning of the war.

This testifies to the combat effectiveness of the Prussian servicemen, and at the same time to the vulnerability of the Russian servicemen.

The Russian army, which was relatively small, fled without a fight in many places, and some even surrendered without a fight.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the Prussian army as devastating.

Li Xiao didn't understand, this kind of record is embarrassed to call himself a fighting nation?

The Internet in later generations is really harmful!

As a soldier, Li Xiao always had an indescribable good impression of Prussian soldiers.

No matter how you study the history of war, this nation has created a glorious history, and it has also had the defeat of the wheat city.

But if you look closely, you'll find out. Every time they are defeated, it has nothing to do with this iron-blooded army.

In the face of extremely powerful opponents, they even sent middle school students to the battlefield.

It was the legion of these people who once terrified the world.

Skeleton!

Imperial!

Viking!

These names are still written in various versions by later generations, recording their glorious achievements.

It's just a pity that even if Li Xiao wants to unite with Prussia, it is not so easy.

Religion is a very big obstacle, after all, the vast majority of people in Prussia believe in Christianity.

Russia, on the other hand, is an Orthodox Christian, and although they are both Jesus and fucking Jesus, they are doctrinally different.

In the eyes of Christians, the Ming is a proper heretic, a heretic in this world.

Many clergy wanted to burn those who were not religious at the stake.

This is their standard operation for all heretics and heretics!

The northern front was finally stabilized on the Smolensk front, but both sides of the war were ready to start a big battle after the freezing rain was over.

Prussia had huge military resources, while the Ming Dynasty had modern scientific and technological resources such as tanks, airplanes, and artillery.

It's hard to say who will win or lose, at least Li Xiao knows that there is an army with only a few heavy weapons in North Korea that has defeated the powerful and invincible Eagle Sauce.

At that time, the military strength of Eagle Sauce was a crushing existence for today's Daming.

Sometimes, the rational use of techniques and tactics and the fighting will and level of a soldier can also determine the direction of war.

And not military technology alone, which can be successful.

However, the German army at least sat down, pinning down the main forces of the Ming army and the Russian army, so that they could not support the southern front.

Southern Route!

The French army was advancing on Tsaritsyn, and Napoleon's warriors were even more fierce than their Prussian counterparts.

It took them only twenty days to fight from Kharkov to a distance of 50 kilometers near Tsaritsyn.

This also shows that the will to resist of the Russian army in front of it is surprisingly low.

However, this phenomenon has been greatly improved after the arrival of Stilwell and Kutuzov.

On the outskirts of Tsaritsyn, the pace of the French advance slowed down.

One kilometer and two kilometers a day to Tsaritsyn!

It is estimated that when it reaches Tsaritsyn, it should be December.

In general, December and January are the coldest months of winter in Russia.

The Battle of Tsaritsyn was fought in the coldest months, which was advantageous to the defending side of the Ming Russian coalition.

After all, they can take advantage of the fortifications that have already been built. Not only can the problem of heating be solved, but food is not a problem.

Don't look at the transportation risk of the Ming Dynasty is much longer than that of the French army, but the transportation line of the Ming Dynasty is completely composed of railways.

There was only a stretch to the front line, relying on a large number of tractors and airships.

Although at present, because of the preparation period for the campaign, there are more things required, and the capacity is temporarily tight.

However, with the completion of the double line of the Central Asian Railway, all this will be fine.

On the side of the French army, the railway was only repaired to Kiev.

From Kiev to Donetsk, there is only one railway for the Israelis.

To the east of Donetsk, there are three or four hundred kilometers away, and there is no railway at all.

Under the mud, how to ensure the supply of front-line troops has become the most troublesome thing for the French.

Even more serious is the fact that the Tsaritsyn airport is nearing completion.

The airships on which the French front line depended could henceforth be like the Prussians on the northern front, and could only march at night with the lights off.

Even on the night of the full moon, they did not dare to come out and hang out.

Because if one is not done well, you will run into the Ming Stuka fighter.

The large and slow-moving airship doesn't even have the qualifications to escape when it encounters Stuka.

The pilot's first instinct was to jump into the dark and cold night sky with a parachute on his back.

At this time, it is necessary to compare the character, if the character is not good, catch up with the wind in the wrong direction. Most likely, it will become a prisoner of the Russians.

The Russians were known for their brutality in their treatment of their captives.

The war on the Russian front is in full swing, but the war in the Arab world is coming to an end.

Since Daming changed his strategy, everything has gone a lot better. There were fewer and fewer incidents of attacking the Ming army, and there were even guerrilla renegades, who constantly led the Ming army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the guerrillas.

This is all thanks to Wu Ciyou's action to equalize the wealth and the poor in full swing!

For a long time, the land belonged to the chiefs.

As long as you live in this land, you have to pay tribute to the chief.

This has been going on for thousands of years, and the Arabs have even become accustomed to the rule of the sheikhs over the land.

As for the foreigners who came to this land, no one thought of managing it personally, after all, management also requires a cost.

So, they just sent a governor, plus some troops.

They demanded that the chiefs pay taxes, and the chiefs had the right to collect taxes.

Behind them are the alien armies that support them.

When Daming first arrived in the Middle East, he did the same.

After all, the Ming did not have enough talent to manage the Arabs.

As a result, corrupt officials in Arabia are rampant. The chiefs took advantage of the reason for collecting taxes from the Ming Dynasty to constantly exploit the local ordinary people.

Over time, Da Ming became a scapegoat.

As a result, there was a huge civil movement. The Rose Revolution is just a representation of them.

Now that the policy of the Ming Dynasty has changed, Wu Ciyou, with the support of Zuo Liangyu of the Marine Corps, has mobilized enough troops.

The chiefs' property was confiscated and then distributed among the common Arabs.

And published the account books over the years, telling them that not only did the Ming not collect taxes from them, but also invested a large amount of money in the local Arabs, built hospitals, bridges, and roads, and helped the lonely, widowed, poor, and young children.

The reason why they did not enjoy the money was entirely because the local chiefs and local officials were not greedy for ink.

Although Arabic numerals are popular all over the world, Arabs are similar to the Ming people twenty or thirty years ago, and most of them are purely illiterate.

They can't read the account books of the Ming people, and no one wants to understand them.

They will only look at the Ming people, whether they will send them real money.

As for the officials and the chiefs with full brains, when the bills were published, they were torn to pieces by the angry townspeople and peasants.

Others are less directly put on the firewood.

This is the usual treatment of vampires around the world.

Many people say that the Ming people are so greedy, and so much money has been confiscated, it must be just pretending.

didn't expect that Da Ming really gathered the big guys together.

Real gold and platinum to send out money!

Everyone's eyes widened, they didn't expect Da Ming to really be so generous.

Not only will money be distributed, but even land will be allocated.

All the land was distributed to the local people. Every year, they only need to take 20% of the land income as a tax.

This tax rate is much more merciful than those chieftains. In most years, they take half of the income from the land.

Not only that, those who are particularly grateful to Daming and especially cooperate with Daming people will also go to get their wives.

That's right, it's to get a wife.

Those chiefs, corrupt officials and corrupt officials also have wives and daughters.

The old ones are discarded directly.

The younger ones were directly treated as prizes and distributed to those who had contributed to the Ming Dynasty.

Among these people, there are those who lead the way and work hard to promote the Ming Dynasty.

There are also those who betrayed the partisan brothers.

There are also people who are sincere and sincere to the Ming Dynasty, and worship the life of the Ming Dynasty to the ground.

Anyway, all those who have contributed to Daming will be divided into one or several wives.

For example, the old man of Abdul successfully persuaded his nephew, who was a guerrilla leader, to surrender to the Ming Dynasty because he actively campaigned for the Ming Dynasty, and helped the Ming Dynasty exterminate other guerrillas.

Wu Ciyou waved his pen and directly rewarded his four wives.

Wu Ciyou is very respectful of the local religion, and the teachings of the people stipulate that he can marry four wives.

Then simply give him four wives, one is not more, and one is not less.

The old man of Abdul was grateful to the Ming and promised Allah that he would be as loyal to the Ming as he was to Allah.

There are a lot of such things, and the consequences are significant.

In half a year, the area of the security area has increased considerably. Correspondingly, the non-policing zone is shrinking at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

When Wu Ciyou once again issued a reward order for those guerrillas who refused to surrender.

After tasting the sweetness, the Arab brothers who knew that they had meat to eat with Daming broke out with great enthusiasm.

A distant relative in the neighbor's house has countless people who openly and secretly check it and then report it to the local sheriff.

If you find this person on his hand, he has calluses that are used with guns. The fate of this guy, nine times out of ten, is to be pulled out, chop off his head with a knife, and ask Daming for a reward.

In the joint telegram between Wu Ciyou and Zuo Liangyu, they unanimously believed that in half a year, law and order from Egypt to Damascus would be restored.

As for Baghdad and Mosul, which are occupied by the Kurds in the north, they are the targets to be cleared in six months.

On the outskirts of Basra, there were no Arab partisans for a long time.

The Kurds, also because of the withdrawal of the Hebrews, had to withdraw from the battle and retreat to the upper Euphrates region, trembling and waiting for the retaliation of the Ming Empire.

For the Kurds, Daming will definitely take revenge, but he has not yet freed up his hands.

On the island of Crete, Li Xiu is planning a campaign to march to the western Mediterranean!

Now he has three aircraft carriers in his hands, Shandong, Liaodong, and the latest to join the Hebei.

Three aircraft carriers, which will attack Sicily, Corsica with the fleet.

Then, they will aim for Marseille, France.

This is France's largest port in the Mediterranean, larger than the port of Toulouse.

There is also a rail link between Marseille and Paris.

It's just that now the soldiers of the Marine Corps are still in the non-security zone.

The troops can't be drawn yet, so they can only wait.

All the military forces of the Ming Dynasty are now gathering on the Russian battlefield.

The Marine Corps and Navy have not been replenished on a large scale.

However, the good news is that the Ming began a large-scale conscription of Sikhs and Gurkhas.

At the beginning, less than 20,000 men were recruited in two divisions.

Now, 100,000 people were simply conscripted at once.

Anyway, the people of these two places are fierce and aggressive, and recruiting them to fight is also good for local law and order.

Strangely, Li Xiao did not agree to recruit the Japanese people that Li Xiu wanted in any case.

Compared with the people in these two places, although the Japanese people are short in stature, they are more cruel and easy to kill.

The treatment of local people is also more cruel.

Sometimes the dirty things that Li Xiu doesn't want to do are all left to them to do, and these guys are always happy to do it and work very hard.

In the telegram, Li Xiao did not say the reason, and Li Xiu had no choice but to make do with these Indians who were not very smart.

And to still be subjected to them, it takes an hour a day to wrap and unwrap the headscarf.

He knew that the future battles would all depend on the defense of Tsaritsyn.

If the battle of Tsaritsyn was lost, he could only risk letting Li Xiu carry out a landing operation.

In the south of France, a second battlefield was opened.

"Can Tsaritsyn hold it?" Li Xiao hesitated and accidentally muttered.

"Yes! Definitely. Suddenly, a voice came and made Li Xiao turn his head.

It was Sun Zhijie, who came to report to Li Xiao, and after the hearing, he went to Fujian to take up his post.

"It's coming! It's been a hard journey, sit. Li Xiao pointed to his seat.

There is no habit of drinking tea in the army, so Li Xiao directly saved the procedure of serving tea.

"You were transferred back from Georgia to take over your position as the commander of the Second Division.

You know, now the Army is basically out to fight.

Domestically, only the second division remained.

The year before last, the Liangguang rebellion, the performance of the Second Division was good.

Now, the two Guangxi have engaged in a dispute between the Turks and the Turks.

Your second division is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and now you are the only ones who can be transferred.

Xiao Zhan is the new governor of Liangguang and has already gone to Guangzhou to take up his post.

Your task is to ensure that Xiao Zhan's decree is implemented unimpeded in the two Guangzhous.

It's wartime, and all of the Ming's energy is on the European battlefield.

I don't have the energy to take care of the affairs of the two Guangzhou, I don't care what method you use, as long as you restore order between the two Guangxi as soon as possible and ensure that there are no large-scale armed fights between the Turks and the Turks, can you do it? ”

Time was pressing, Li Xiao simply saved the polite words and gave an order directly to Sun Zhijie.
