Chapter 114: Marines
"Dad, isn't it too much for us to do this?" Li Lin stood behind Li Xiao, and suddenly said this.
was intoxicated by the Mediterranean scenery, Li Xiao didn't react a little: "What is excessive? ”
"We are against the Kurds!"
Thanks to Li Xiao's indoctrination since childhood, Li Lin has some concepts of racial equality.
He is different from Sun Zhijie's killing talents, at least he still treats aliens as human beings.
"Hey......!
My stupid son, your father can't help it.
There is such a place, where the people are crazy and hateful to our Daming.
What can you do with them?
Huairou? German clothes? It would take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
It also consumes a lot of talent, and it takes too much time.
More importantly, this is risky, because the soft policy will make people think that we are weak.
There will be more people coming to us for benefits!
In that case, what do we do? ”
"Uh......!" Li Lin had nothing to say.
Huairou Zhao'an looked benevolent, but it was actually full of uncertainty.
"What to do?
It can only be physically eliminated and make them disappear directly.
In this way, there will be no more people in this land who hate the Ming Dynasty.
It's unclean and cruel, but it's quiet.
Land!
If you leave it there and leave it barren, it won't spoil.
When we have a large population, or we have thought of how to use this land, it will not be inconvenient to pick it up and use it.
You say, don't you? ”
Li Lin has nothing to say, Dad's method is indeed convenient and fast.
"Dad! Second Uncle ......! ”
At the mention of Li Xiu, Li Xiao turned around helplessly.
"The second uncle actually did a good job in the navy, and he really paid for it.
When I was in the Middle East, my second uncle didn't go home much.
I spend almost all day and night on the ship, inspecting here today and there tomorrow.
Even when he returned to Daming, the places he ran to the most were shipyards and Jinzhou Design Institute.
Look at the construction of new ships!
I think that even if the second uncle is not your younger brother, he is qualified to be the commander of this navy.
He has won so many battles and achieved so many records, he can't ...... because of this defeat! ”
"Huh! Your second uncle really didn't hurt you in vain. Li Xiao looked at Li Lin and smiled.
"Dad......! I......! ”
"Kid!
The Ming Navy has today's achievements, and your second uncle has contributed a lot.
I know this better than anyone else.
But the navy ......, and it can't be pin or splashed in the water.
The navy is not our family's, nor is it your second uncle's, but the Ming Dynasty's.
Your second uncle, he made the mistake of treating the navy as his territory.
I'm afraid that the orders of this great commander are not as good as his words.
The Marines are separated, but look at Zuo Liangyu's situation.
He's clearly an ornament!
A country within a country, an army within an army!
Hanging alone overseas, wantonly sealing the frontier.
Arrogant and lawless, bold and reckless.
If it weren't for the need for supplies and new ships from the Ming Dynasty, the navy would be completely qualified to tear the earth and seal the king.
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, which court and which emperor can endure it?
This person is your second uncle, and ...... another person!
The ashes are cold! Li Xiao lost a smile on his face, and was replaced by a dignified one.
"Dad......!
You and your second uncle are brothers. Li Lin's face suddenly turned pale as paper.
"Silly boy, your father won't do anything that kills each other.
Back then, I looked down on your third uncle and felt that he was always causing trouble.
Later, I gradually distanced myself from him and even scolded him.
But at the moment of life and death, your third uncle is still the most determined to stand by my side.
So!
This big tiger still has to be a brother, go into battle, father and son soldiers! ”
Li Xiao's fingers tugged between himself and Li Lin.
Hearing that his father was not going to make a move on his second uncle, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Rationally speaking, the second uncle has indeed gone too far over the years.
The second aunt Zheng did all the things, the second uncle couldn't not know a little.
The Navy is in the military, and it is becoming more and more arrogant!
didn't even give face to a few main divisions, and many people were actually very dissatisfied.
But because of Li Xiu's identity and the temper of the calf protector, no one dared to twist the tiger whiskers of this second master.
As for smuggling using naval vessels, almost every warship in the Navy is doing it.
In the past, Dad turned a blind eye to these things, but now it seems that Dad can't bear it.
In Alexandria, Li Xiao once again boarded the Yanshan ship.
Seeing the handsome land safely, Zuo Liangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Poor Egypt is not peaceful, and no one dares to guarantee that the anti-aircraft guns scattered by Israel will not hide in some dilapidated house.
If there is really such a way to knock down the airship that Li Xiao is riding, then the genius of the Ming Dynasty will really change.
Especially now that it is still a time of war, this is simply fatal to the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately! This kind of thing didn't happen.
Taking the Yanshan all the way to the north, Li Xiao came to Cyrenaica.
This small island, known to the Greeks as Cyprus, has become the headquarters of the Ming Marine Corps.
On top of the tall headquarters building, a huge antenna stands to keep the main force of the task force in Sicily open.
It is also possible to send the telegram from the front to Basra, then to India, and finally to the country.
Daming's telegram was transmitted to Daming Jingshi station by station.
The telegram of the Daming Jingshi is also such a station-by-station transfer to the front.
That's already the fastest delivery speed in the world!
The Marine Corps Forward Headquarters Building fully reflects the strength of the Marine Corps.
The building is 10 floors high, and there is a newly developed elevator in the building.
However, in Li Xiao's view, this is an iron cage hanging from a wire rope.
I looked at Zuo Liangyu's office on the top floor, the office was not too big, about a dozen bungalows.
There was a desk against the window, opposite the sofa and coffee table.
An office of more than ten square meters, with so many things piled up, even seems a little cramped.
Especially after getting used to seeing the office of thirty or forty square meters in the capital, I feel that this office is a little aggrieved.
"This is your office?" Li Xiao did not sit on the sofa, but stood in front of the window and looked at the blue Mediterranean.
Nice sea view and direct bird's-eye view of the port.
The main guns on the Yanshan can be seen clearly.
"No! The subordinates work here on weekdays to meet people. ”
"Hmmm! Take a look at the war room. Li Xiao pulled away the orderly who served the tea and walked out directly.
Zuo Liangyu hurriedly followed, trotting all the way to lead the way in front of Li Xiao.
Walking into the war room, Li Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's a big war room, almost half an area of the floor.
In the middle of the ground is a huge sand table, on which the entire Mediterranean terrain is revealed.
The blue plastic plate represents the Mediterranean Sea.
There were staff officers holding long poles, constantly adjusting the positions of the battleship and the various units.
On the wall is a huge battle map, but this map is a map of the whole of Eurasia.
It is detailed with information such as the garrison of each unit of the Marine Corps, as well as the size and equipment.
On another wall is an enlarged map of Corsica to the south of France.
There are even bridges and roads on the map!
It seems that aerial reconnaissance has been able to help front-line troops supplement map information.
Next to the war room is the telecommunications room, from which the sound of "tick-to-da" is constantly heard.
It seems that Zuo Liangyu is ready to convey his orders to the troops at any time.
Seeing Li Xiao come in, all the staff officers put down what they were doing, stood up straight and saluted.
Li Xiao returned the gift!
"Keep up your work." Li Xiao waved his hand casually.
The officers began to continue fiddling with the sand table and drawing on the map with red and blue pencils!
"The war room is doing a good job!" Li Xiao looked at the map of Eurasia on the wall, and then walked to the enlarged map of Corsica and southern France.
"Forward troops have aerial reconnaissance every day, and the latest cameras have been able to take clearer aerial photos.
Based on these cameras, we can add a lot of things that we didn't know before.
For example, here, we originally got the information that the road conditions are good enough for cars.
However, aerial reconnaissance found that the width of the road here was only three meters wide.
And here, I thought there was a battery bunker.
But in fact, the battery and bunker were more than 200 meters away.
This place is a false target for our naval ships to bomb. ”
Zuo Liangyu took the long stick in the staff officer's hand and pointed at the map.
"This is where we landed last time." Li Xiao pointed to a salient on the edge of Marseille.
"Yes, this is La Ciotta.
I thought there was a good fishing boat pier here.
It is possible to dock a small boat of tens to 100 tons, but after actually landing, it is found that it can only dock a small boat of more than 10 or 20 tons.
The prepared equipment and equipment supplies could not be delivered at all.
Early the next morning, the French concentrated more than 30 large-caliber artillery pieces to bombard this small port.
More than an hour of shelling completely destroyed this small port.
Even the equipment and supplies sent by a lot of boats were blown up! ”
Zuo Liangyu sighed helplessly.
"Navy artillery without support, take out enemy artillery?" Li Xiao frowned.
"The draft is very shallow and it's mudflats.
When the ship is close, it is easy to run aground, and if it is far away, there is no way to close the enemy artillery position.
Besides, the destroyer's artillery fire could not reach the target that far.
The battleship was farther away, and even if the guns were fired, there was no way to hit accurately.
So......! ”
Zuo Liangyu stopped talking again.
"There are aerial photos, and such a big mistake is made.
Landing operations are the business of your Marine Corps, and how did you do this? ”
Li Xiao had a cold face and stared at Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu's lips moved, and he stopped talking!
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, say it! ”
Li Xiao frowned, and Zuo Liangyu closed his mouth tightly and did not speak.
"Speak, you are the commander of the Marine Corps.
Don't be like an old! ”
"Dashuai!" Just as Zuo Liangyu was silent, a staff officer suddenly spoke.
Everyone's eyes were on this little staff officer, and it was estimated that it was the first time that the little staff officer was watched by so many people.
Nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a deep breath, and mustered up courage.
"Marshal, the landing operations were all planned and commanded by the navy.
The so-called joint operations did not involve our marines at all at all.
The navy only ordered us to send troops, but did not give us any command of the enemy.
Even the battle plan was made by those people in the navy.
Dashuai, you can't put the responsibility for the defeat on the head of our left marshal. ”
The little staff officer roared with his neck!
"Is that so?" Li Xiao retracted his gaze and looked at Zuo Liangyu again.
"Marshal, Commander, he ......!"
"You're the commander of the Marine Corps, and the Marine Corps is in your charge.
You get the idea? ”
"No!"
Zuo Liangyu nodded.
"Hmmm!
You are a good little staff officer, and you can be promoted. Li Xiao pointed to the little staff officer, turned around and walked out of Zuo Liangyu's war room.
returned to Zuo Liangyu's small office, closed the door, and only Li Xiao and Zuo Liangyu were left in the room.
"There were a lot of people just now, and there were some things I didn't say.
It's true that Li Xiu is my second brother, but that doesn't mean he can meddle everywhere.
The reason for separating the Marine Corps from the Navy is because he can't handle it.
Can't take care of such a big stall!
You were transferred here to take care of the Marine Corps.
You know what I mean? ”
"No!" Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up.
This is Li Xiao's concession!
With this big Buddha as a backer, are you still afraid of those people in the navy?
"In the future, the Navy will be the Navy, and the Marine Corps will be the Marine Corps.
Belch......! Speaking of this, Li Xiao suddenly shut up.
"Well, the Marines will be renamed the Marines in the future, and they will be called the Marines.
The Navy is gone! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiao suddenly said.
"Navy ......!" Zuo Liangyu was a little excited.
He didn't expect that Li Xiao would do it so thoroughly.
actually changed the name of the Marine Corps directly to the Marine Corps.
This is tantamount to announcing to everyone that the Marine Corps is completely out of the management of the Navy.
"Also, the Navy has to hand over the transport ships for landing.
It's all in the hands of your marines.
In this way, the navy will only be responsible for escort and naval artillery fire support in the future.
The matter of landing is entirely up to you, the marines, to plan and work out. ”
Zuo Liangyu was so happy that his snot was bubbling, he didn't expect that even the transport ship would have to be allocated to the name of the Marine Corps.
In the Ming army, everyone knows Li Xiu's domineering.
After the new home slope, all things floating on the sea must be under the control of the navy.
The navy was so eager that they even caught the fish in the sea and stamped them one by one.
Now the transport ship will be allocated to the Marine Corps, which is equivalent to announcing to the entire Ming Dynasty that the commander is going to rectify the navy.
Oh my God!
Dashuai wants to rectify his own brother?
"As for the shortage of troops, five more divisions can be requisitioned in the country.
Make sure you have your best troops ready to land in the south of France as soon as possible. ”
"No!"
Zuo Liangyu stood up and saluted!
He knew that the opportunity to make a contribution had come.
