Chapter 7: The Abrupt Visitor

The battle was over, and the Ming soldiers sat in the bulletproof vehicles towed by the tractors, watching the Russians munching on frozen bread.

There was no gunfire on the battlefield, but one "click" after another.

The bread was frozen hard, not much like a stone.

But the Russian soldiers were still gnawing frantically, and those "clicks" came out of their mouths.

Just listening to the sound is like a dog chewing bones.

Tong Guogang was speechless, and it was recognized that the Russians had low combat effectiveness.

But those people at the top didn't know that ordinary Russian soldiers couldn't even eat.

The upper echelons of the Russian army are very corrupt, and in order to embezzle military spending, they even mix sawdust and sawdust in the bread of the Russian army.

In Daming, a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes were purchased at low prices.

The sweet potatoes used by the Ming people to feed pigs have actually become a good thing for Russian soldiers.

Although the food of the Austro-Hungarian army was not good, it was much better than that of the Russian army.

A Russian soldier found a box of cans, and the crowd immediately erupted in cheers, and then a big battle broke out over the cans.

The Russian army put down its guns very tacitly and used its fists to decide the ownership of this box of cans.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at these old hairy men like monkey plays.

The supply of the Ming army has always been sufficient, because the Ming army is equipped with a large number of powerful tractors.

In wartime, it was flatbread with canned beef. Sometimes, canned fruit is also available.

Russian soldiers are the worst enemies of the Da Ming cooking class!

However, as long as it is not too excessive, most of the people in the cooking class turn a blind eye.

Sometimes, it is indeed pitiful to look at these Russians. The skinny cheekbones are sunken, and you can't see anything at night.

If you don't give them some eggs or something, you can't count on them to fight at night.

The Russians who came to eat and drink did not eat white food, and helped the cooking team to chop wood, or carried the strength of the work, and did not cheat at all.

The Russian soldiers at the bottom are still very sincere, as long as they give them a small bottle of Red Star Erguotou, or a high number of old dragons.

They'll treat you like their best friend.

"Tell the Russian platoon commander that if you send these prisoners to the prisoner camp alive, you will be able to receive a bottle of two-pot head and a box of canned luncheon meat."

Tong Guogang casually pointed to a Russian platoon commander, and this lucky guy immediately jumped up.

Everyone knows that working for the Ming army can get wine and food.

Luncheon meat, a starch-mixed thing, Ming Jun doesn't like to eat at all. A lot of the time, you have to shoehorn it into the troops.

Quartermasters also have to risk being beaten!

For the Russian army, this is a standard good thing.

Tong Guogang sent a count of the number of prisoners, and then wrote a note and handed it to the Russian platoon commander.

Then the platoon commander took the people away in a hurry, without even saying hello to his commander.

But it's nothing, when I came back, I stuffed a bottle of two pots, and there was nothing.

Tong Guogang's Jurchen battalion is just one of many interspersed troops.

After Ao Ye and Man Ye closed the Kursk front, this kind of small intersperse happened almost every day.

The Austro-Hungarian army, like a piece of meat, was cut east and west.

Small forces could not be defeated, and large forces encountered the Ming army, but they could not catch up.

Wait until your troops are exhausted and the soldiers are panting like dogs sticking out their tongues.

Those fierce tanks will rush over, and their accomplices, the Russians, will also be angry.

Countless Austro-Hungarian companies were crushed in this way.

The British, by contrast, are much smarter.

20,000 British troops, voluntarily left the field fortifications. Find the Ming army, and then ...... Then he surrendered under the white flag.

In their words, this is the attitude of a gentleman to war, and the English gentleman will definitely not create unnecessary killing.

The Ming Dynasty didn't care about these, as long as they were prisoners, they were all put in prisoner of war camps. One meal a day, if you don't die of hunger.

Every day, trucks carrying supplies to the front line would take away a truckload of prisoners of war on their way back.

These prisoners of war would be sent to the railway station in the rear, and then left Russia for the Ming Dynasty with the train back to Daming.

Anyway, Daming's train pulled people to Russia one by one, and when they went back, they were often empty.

It's better to bring some prisoners of war back than to be empty.

Countless troops were interspersed, constantly dividing the coalition forces led by Austria-Hungary.

On the first day of the Battle of Kursk, the Prussian Emperor Frederick and the French Emperor Napoleon made public statements.

He said that he would definitely support the coalition forces led by Austria-Hungary, which was fighting a bloody battle with the Ming army.

Then, the two emperors sent a joint telegram to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph, asking him to hold out for five to ten days, while the Prussian and French armies were on their way to help.

Joseph also gave a public speech in Vienna, calling on the officers and soldiers at the front to fight the Ming army to the end.

And called on the men of Austria-Hungary to join the army and defeat the pagans of the East in the name of God.

At the Vatican, the Pope prayed for the blessings of the warriors who fought bloodily on the front lines.

Countless faithful followers in Europe signed up for the new crusade.

In Jehovah's name, shine the light of God into the land of the pagans.

When the whole of Europe was once again stirred up, Frederick and Napoleon secretly appeared in London.

They did not go to Buckingham Palace to see the British Queen, but got off the airship and took a carriage directly to the Rothschild family's private estate.

"It is an honor to meet the two Emperors, their majesty, whose arrival has made the Rothschild family flourish."

Old Rothschild said with a smile on his face the opening words of diplomatic rhetoric!

"Your lobby is beautiful, can you take a tour of your office?" Frederick glanced around and replied with a smile.

Rothschild was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what was it that made Frederick so anxious?

"Oh ......! Belch...... Of course, please here. Rothschild led the two emperors upstairs.

Led them into the large office, and before they could speak. Napoleon, who came in after Frederick, closed the door casually.

The Rothschilds, as well as the two emperors' numerous attendants, were kept out.

There were only three of them left in the room!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are ......!" Being stared at by the two emperors at the same time, Rothschild was also a little nervous and dazed.

"Sit down!" Frederick sat down on the leather sofa with a sting, and gestured to the next place, as if he were the owner of the place.

Napoleon sat directly on the couch and looked at the old Rothschild.

"Oh!" Old Rothschild sat down on the couch suspiciously.

"The Austro-Hungarian army is finished, and now it can only hold out for ten days at most.

…… Or ten days! ”

"But definitely not more than twenty days!" Napoleon added.

"Uh......! I know this, and I have learned through secret channels that the British army has surrendered.

We are trying to find a way to get back the 23,000 British officers and soldiers who were captured. ”

“……!” Frederick and Napoleon glanced at each other, and it seemed that the old Rothschild was still relatively powerful.

Now the channels between France and Prussia, and the Ming Dynasty have been closed.

Unexpectedly, the Rothschilds still kept in touch with Daming.

"It was important to rescue the 23,000 British troops, but ......, the coalition forces were annihilated by nearly half a million men.

A huge gap appeared on the Central Front in the Kursk direction, along which the Ming army could directly attack Kyiv if they wished. ”

"Our army is about to make a breakthrough in Tsaritsyn, but if the Ming army goes straight to Kyiv, our French army will have to retreat."

"If this is the case, the European front will retreat more than eight hundred kilometers to the west.

In the future, we may never be able to defeat the Ming army again. ”

Frederick and Napoleon took turns to speak, and they cooperated very well.

It's just that one of them speaks French and the other speaks Prussian.
