The black soldiers, happily aboarding.

Two small freighters, almost 2,000 tons.

The most amazing thing is that this is an Italian cargo ship. They did not belong to the Ming Navy, but were hired by the Ming Navy.

Li Xiu put down his binoculars and watched the two ships leave one after the other.

"It has been ordered to go down and the destroyers will sink them far from the coast.

Attacks are carried out during the day, ensuring that not a single hole is left alive. ”

Chen Laohu stood behind Li Xiu very doggedly and reported.

"The island is all cleaned up?"

"It's clean, they've swept all of Corsica, and surely not a single living person is left.

The blacks are finished, and no one knows about it. ”

"What's that colonel's name?"

"Marini!"

"He sent away?"

"Yes!

The destroyer will send him to the Middle East, and he will henceforth be the head of the Foreign Legion.

has sent a report to Sun Zhijie, Sun Zhijie said thank you, second master. ”

"There is no way to pull out troops in the Middle East.

Those Ottoman troops were really useless, and they could be beaten by the Kurds.

What do the Kurds have? As for the broken guns that the Israelis gave?

Rubbish! Li Xiu scolded angrily.

In order to defend Basra and the surrounding oil fields, the Ming had to deploy a large number of troops in the Middle East.

This also led to a serious shortage of troops in the Mediterranean, and if Li Xiu was given another ten Marine divisions, he would dare to attack Monaco.

But now the problem is no, and Li Xiao is not allowed to recruit foreign mercenaries on a large scale.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Li Xiu is now difficult to cook without soldiers.

Fill in some men for Sun Zhijie, and you can also ease up the marines in Sun Zhijie's hands as soon as possible.

One or two divisions are also good!

"It's cheaper Sun Zhijie, if it weren't for the fear that these people would be difficult to control with the French for many years, we would keep it for ourselves."

"Corsica is well located and henceforth it will be Crete in the western Mediterranean.

Originally, I wanted to occupy Sicily.

What a pity!

There are too many Italians in Sicily, and the Italians are considered to be the mildest of the Europeans.

Big brother won't let me do that!

There's no way out, Corsica.

occupied Napoleon's hometown as the base of our Ming army, and when he said it, he also fell on the face of the French. ”

"Yes! If you don't want to make this the island of Crete, you don't have to kill all the people here. ”

"Forget it!

Engineer troops were brought in to build airship landing grounds, airfields, and the expansion of docks and roads.

By the way, find out what minerals are here.

Military spending is tight, so it is also good to get some minerals to fight tooth sacrifices and seek some welfare for the brothers. ”

"No!" Chen Laohu hurriedly agreed.

"Now that Corsica has been occupied by us, there is no need for so many warships to blockade it around.

Let's take Kunlun Mountain, Changbai Mountain, and Tianshan Mountain to the French coast. ”

"Second master, we don't have a marine, let's go to the French coast ......!"

"It's not to go to war, it's to the coast of France.

By the way, shoot the target!

I've heard that the French Mediterranean Fleet also has seven or eight destroyers.

Because we're afraid we'll hide in the harbor!

This is not good, there can only be one sea power in the Mediterranean, and that is our Ming Navy.

Hide in the harbor and you'll be fine?

Hide in the harbor and kill them. ”

Chen Laohu pursed his lips, this is clearly that there is no army, and he is taking advantage of the weak navy.

It seems that the second master has a lot of resentment!

Li Xiu's words were the supreme order, the main force of the Ming navy, which participated in the siege of Corsica, quickly assembled off the coast of France.

Today, the main force of the Ming Navy has thirty-five destroyers, three cruisers, and three battleships.

As well as the formidable naval power of three aircraft carriers!

This force can make any country in the world fearful!

In this era, the combined naval forces of the world cannot defeat this naval fleet.

The fleet sailed along the French coast all night, and finally at 10:06 a.m. the next day, sailed outside the port of Marseille, France.

The seven destroyers of the French Navy could only hide in the harbor and tremble.

"Second master, I'm almost at the port, I'm afraid that there are mines in the waterway. Our ship can only be parked in the open sea! ”

Chen Laohu looked at Li Xiu helplessly, the minesweeper could not sweep the minesweeper for a while.

The traditional method of loading stones in boats to increase the draft also does not work.

No way, the draft of battleships and aircraft carriers is too deep.

Even if a battleship has thick skin, a guy with hundreds of kilograms of explosives like a mine can drink a pot.

"How many kilometers is it from the port now?" Li Xiu looked at the chart, when the Ming Dynasty and France were on honeymoon, the port of Marseille was the main port to receive supplies from the Ming Dynasty.

Daming is very familiar with the waters here, and even some of the harbor facilities were built with the help of Daming.

The Ming warship has also docked at this port more than once.

No one expected that only a few years later, the Daming battleship appeared in this sea area again, and it was here to fight.

"Eighty-five kilometers."

"The minesweeper begins to sweep mines!" After Li Xiu gave an order, he began to study the charts.

At noon, Paolo, the commander of the defense of Marseille, was eating lunch.

Today's lunch was extraordinary, as it was the thirtieth wedding anniversary of his wife and his wife.

Because of this, he did not go to the office, but stayed at home to accompany his wife.

The door to the dining room was almost slammed open, and a staff officer stumbled in.

"What are you doing?" Paul looked at the panicked counselor viciously.

"Commander, it's not good. The Ming fleet has been discovered in the open sea! The staff officer was out of breath and couldn't stand upright.

"The Ming Fleet? How many? Paul stood up in astonishment, and his face turned white in an instant.

Marseille is not far from Corsica, and news of the fall of Corsica has already arrived.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Foreign Legion is average, it is not looked down upon by the French military circles. But it's also an army of 200,000!

In just two months, Commander Haig committed suicide, and the deputy commander surrendered with his troops.

Paul had been praying that the damned Ming wouldn't fight the idea of Marseille.

At least, the Ming people will also arrive later.

But I didn't expect that the Ming people would call so quickly.

Helplessly looking at the cross above the fireplace, it seemed that God was not on his side.

"Pull the alarm! Ammunition was distributed and all personnel were ready for combat. Paul panicked for only a few seconds, and then immediately calmed down.

Since I can't hide from it, I just do it.

Anyway, this place is different from Corsica, which is surrounded by the superior navy of the Ming Dynasty, and not even a rabbit can escape.

Marseille, on the other hand, is backed by a railway that leads directly to the industrial region of Paris.

If the Ming Dynasty dares to attack from here, reinforcements and various supplies will continue to be sent over by rail.

The mournful sirens sounded, and the citizens on the street heard the sirens and looked at each other blankly, not knowing what was happening.

Until the police, who looked like they were being chased by wolves, whistled and held batons and shouted for people to go home.

"The Ming people attacked?"

"Oh God! The Ming people are here, what can I do? ”

"I heard that Corsica was occupied, and the people on it were killed."

"I've seen the Ming people, and the Ming people are not bad."

"Shh......h If you can't talk like that, you'll be arrested by the secret police. ”

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

The people in the panic returned home with a worried heart.

The men were trying to strengthen the gate, and the only window in the house was long closed.

Luckily, there is only one window in the house.

In those days, even windows were subject to window tax.

Poor families have no choice but to avoid taxes by reducing windows, or not having windows.

The soldiers were driven out of the barracks like frightened donkeys and rushed to the coastal positions.

These coastal positions, after several reinforcements, have now been turned into reinforced concrete fortresses.

Most of the pillboxes could withstand direct attack from 120 mm guns.

Having so many and extremely strong bunkers is also the confidence of Paul to dare to carry the Ming army in Marseille.

At the same time as the mobilization of troops, Paul sent a telegram to Paris.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Marshal Mula.

The Ming army has reached the sea off Marseille, and we will defend Marseille and France with the firmest determination until we have fought to the fullest.

Long live Your Majesty the Great Emperor, long live the Great France! ”

There was not a single word in the telegram that called for reinforcements, it was all a high-pitched hymn.

Paul knew that as soon as the telegram arrived in Paris, Napoleon and Mula would mobilize reinforcements.

At this time, it is better to sing more high-profile and show loyalty.

I worked all afternoon, and I was busy until dark, and the Ming army did not come.

Although the Ming army did not come, the fishing boat that risked death to go out to reconnoiter returned.

Those fishermen swore that the Ming army had come with many, many big boats.

There was a kind of ship as high as a mountain, and there were so many Ming military ships that it covered almost the entire sea.

Paul kicked this visibly frightened bastard away with a single kick!

No matter how powerful the Ming is, their navy will not be able to cover the sea.

Fearing the landing of the Ming army at night, Paul organized people to begin patrolling along the seawall.

The moon was big and round tonight, and the silver disc hung high in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled the sea and the earth.

Visibility was excellent, and with a high-powered telescope you could see a buoy twenty kilometers from the coast.

Paul didn't think that with such good visibility, the Ming army would come and attack.

But he didn't dare to relax, after all, all the landings of the Ming army were carried out at night.

These people just don't like to fight in the open.

After being nervous for half a night, Paul's eyelids fought, but he still held on.

Half the night passed, and it was already past four o'clock in the morning, and it was dawn in less than an hour.

But on the sea, there is still a Ming warship.

Paul was so sleepy that he collapsed on the marching bed at the command post, and after only two minutes he was snoring like thunder.

Not only him, but the French army, who had been waiting for a night with a whole armament, were sleepy in the early morning.

At 4:45 a.m., a strange sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

It was as if countless flies flew over, and everyone felt puzzled, the flies could not have made such a loud noise.

When I opened my sleepy eyes, there was no trace of the Ming warship on the sea in the distance.

"Listen, what's the sound?"

"What to listen to, God knows what it is. There is no ship on the sea, can the Ming people fly from the sky? ”

"Yes! Too sleepy, sleep for a while. ”

"Oh my God! What do you see is that? ”

A soldier pointed to a small black dot in the sky in a panic!

The little black dot grew larger, not just one but a group.

"What's that?"

The soldiers who were awakened looked curiously at the strange things flying in the sky in the distance.

Before that, they had seen things that could fly, and there were only airships besides birds.

"Report to the Commander!"

"Yes, report ......!"

That black thing, all of a sudden, lowered its altitude and flew almost against the water.

As they approached the harbor warship, a black object fell from it.

Sun Xiang only felt that the fighter was light, and the torpedo was thrown into the sea.

Gripping the joystick tightly with both hands, he pressed the accelerator hard to pull the fighter into the sky.

The fighter roared into the sky, pulling up too fast, and Sun Xiang was dizzy.

He hurriedly released the throttle and looked at the altimeter, which had already flown to an altitude of three thousand meters.

Trying to look down, he wanted to see his results.

Although I thought that the torpedo would definitely hit, I still wanted to see it with my own eyes.

It was very real in the sky, and a waterline sword crashed into the French destroyer docked in the harbor.

At the moment of ramming the destroyer, a column of water 100 meters high rose on the surface of the water, and a huge orange flame flashed followed by smoke that rushed into the sky.

The noise of the plane was so loud that he could not hear the explosion at all.

But at that moment, he felt like he heard an explosion. Not with the ears, but with the heart.

The fighter plane circled and flew around, and the torpedo hit the bow of the destroyer.

The entire bow draft was almost blown away.

The sea is frantically pouring into the destroyer along the huge hole.

Another orange spark exploded, this time hitting the middle of the hull.

Poor French destroyer, almost blown in two.

With two torpedoes in a row, the destroyer is sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The torpedoes exploded one after another, and the ships in the harbor were covered in billowing smoke.

The Ming planes came quickly, and it was in the early hours of the morning when people were most sleepy.

The anti-aircraft artillerymen were lying down and sleeping, and after being awakened by the sound of explosions, they ran to the gun position, only to find that all the planes were flying in the sky.

The anti-aircraft artillerymen were also stupid, because they were also seeing planes for the first time.

This thing flies too fast, and it's not the same level as an airship at all.

It is even difficult for anti-aircraft artillery to capture targets!

"Bastard, why don't you fire." An officer ran over without a hat on.

"Can't hit it!" The anti-aircraft artillery was a little aggrieved, what kind of thing was flying in the sky.

Flying so fast, how could it be possible to hit down.

"If you can't beat it, you have to beat Lao Tzu, hurry up.

There will be a heavy reward for defeating you, and if you can't be defeated, you will be shot. ”
