Li Xiao wore short sleeves and big pants, lying leisurely on the beach chair.

In front of you is the rough Mediterranean, and across the Mediterranean Sea is Athens.

A little further afield is the prestigious Aegean Sea.

This is a famous tourist attraction, and it is also a must-visit place for young couples on their newlywed trips.

Li Xiao has no interest in falling in love, only full of exhaustion.

On the Russian battlefield, the coalition forces have been tortured by armored forces to the point of losing their temper.

They no longer have the desire to attack, anyway, no matter how sharp the attack is, the Ming army will retreat in great strides.

hit the cotton hard, and it was inevitable to be beaten.

If you are beaten a lot, your nose and face are swollen, and when you go to the ring again, you will become much more cautious.

The Russian battlefield has stopped, and the coalition forces have effectively lost their offensive capability.

Next, it was Li Xiao who began to attack.

But before attacking, Li Xiao wants to take out the damned, always troublesome pope out of the Vatican.

If you are obedient, it will be fine, if you are not obedient...... Hey!

I'll just kill him!

Lao Tzu doesn't care if you will take religious revenge, if it really causes religious revenge, Li Xiao doesn't mind using the method of killing to stop this revenge.

If one person keeps stopping, he will kill a hundred, if he doesn't stop a hundred people, he will kill ten thousand, and if he doesn't stop ten thousand people, then he will kill a million.

Anyway, as long as the Ming army defeated the European army, many people could play the role of executioner.

The Russian army is not bad!

Today's little Tsar Paul spends his days in a luxurious room in the Kremlin.

There, there are all kinds of toys that Daming gave him.

There are also more than a dozen Ming playmates who think about how to make him happy all day long, and there are also chamberlains who can provide almost everything.

Paul even owns the vast majority of children in the world who don't have electronic toys.

For example, a tank that is only the size of a grinding disc and can be controlled with a handle.

And there's a table-sized model airplane that can fly into the sky.

There's even one of the most high-end radios in the Ming Dynasty, which plays all kinds of music and jokes all day long.

As long as he likes it, it is not difficult to summon both the singers and the jokers to perform live.

The Russian diet was too coarse to suit the great Romanov rulers.

Daming used airships to air all kinds of delicacies to Russia.

Last time, when Li Xiao went to the Kremlin. Little Paul was already able to happily talk to Li Xiao in Da Ming dialect, and invited Li Xiao to eat an authentic Beijing fried sauce noodles.

Between the lines of talking to Li Xiao, he quite agrees with the great and brilliant Chinese culture.

He was even obsessed with Ming calligraphy, and specially showed Li Xiao his copy of calligraphy.

Li Xiao was a little embarrassed, because his handwriting was not as good as that of a foreign child.

It has to be said that in terms of calligraphy, Paul is a genius.

He has even begun to worry about his yellow hair, hoping to grow black hair like Li Xiao.

And he also needs a black eye, so that he can look like the great Ming man.

Li Xiao can't help him in this matter, after all, he is still the Russian Tsar.

Shaping the face like a Ming person is indeed technically difficult to achieve.

However, Li Xiao told him about the ancient Chinese philosophy, that is, as long as you believe that you are a Ming person, then you are a Ming person.

The Ming people are not distinguished by the color of their hair and skin, but by whether they like the traditions of the Ming Dynasty and whether they are willing to live in the Ming lifestyle.

If you are willing to do all this, then you are a Ming person.

Paul was very moved, and he vowed to be a good Ming person, read more books of the Ming Dynasty, and do more things that only the Ming people would do.

For example, make a few dumplings for Li Xiao by hand.

Although the dumplings were ugly, like a lump of roasted wheat, Li Xiao still ate them all.

"Dad, have some beer." Li Lin brought over a box with cold beer.

These days of training with the Marine Corps have tanned Li Lin's skin to a wheat color.

Li Xiao likes this skin tone very much, unlike himself who stays in Moscow all day, and his skin is a little sickly white.

"You can see you're having a great time here." Li Xiao smiled.

This is also a chance for my son to relax in the midst of war.

Crete, which is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty declares its sovereignty over this place!

On this island, there is not a single foreigner, all of them are native to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the army, there are more than 10,000 Ming people living here.

In the beginning, it was a military city.

Everything belongs to the army, and these soldiers, who are tens of thousands of kilometers away from their homes, are provided by the army for eating, drinking, and Lazar.

On the island, it doesn't cost much at all.

There are smart people who have opened a small shop here to sell some daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste.

After a long time, I will bring in some drinks and other things and set up a barbecue stand outside.

After the soldiers have finished their boring training, they come here for a drink.

The salaries of the Ming army are good, and they are not on credit.

The soldiers spent money and were not stingy.

Over time, these active-minded people make money.

After making money, more people come to the island.

Life on the island is also becoming more and more prosperous.

It wasn't until there was a barbecue restaurant that the singer of Daming was invited that the headquarters on the island became vigilant.

If this continues, someone will open a brothel on the island.

So, a ban was issued.

That is to prohibit women from going to the island!

However, the ban did not last long, the merchants were not soldiers, they always tried all kinds of ways to bring their families over.

It's easy to make money on this island, and if you have a beautiful girl as a waiter, the business of the stall will be much better.

Over time, the ban became a piece of waste paper.

And as the number of people landing on the island gradually increased, the number of women began to explode.

Now, there are almost more than 2,000 Ming women living here on the entire island of Crete.

Prostitutes with half-hidden doors are forbidden.

Later, it was simply released, but these brothels needed to be reported to the headquarters.

Prostitutes with half-closed doors become a public affair.

They don't have to pay taxes, but they need to go to the doctor every month to get a health certificate.

Once proven to be ill, they will be immediately deported back to Daming.

At the same time, her benefactors are subjected to the most rigorous physical examinations.

Li Lin told Li Xiao some interesting things about the island, including these women who came to the island to make money.

Li Xiao sighed helplessly!

This kind of thing, he could send those women away with a single order.

But the soldiers are still soldiers after all, and most of them here are sturdy young men, and it is against human nature for you to let them abstain from sex for a few years.

And these women can also earn a lot of money here, and then return to Daming to find a good family to follow.

This kind of thing, no matter in all dynasties, is an inexplicable thing.

Even if Li Xiao is a handsome, he can only turn a blind eye.

The Cretan commander did nothing wrong!

"Over there is Athens, where Zheng Sen is still negotiating with German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, without sincerity."

Li Xiao took the beer handed over by Li Lin and took a sip, a cold pleasure that spread from his throat to his stomach.

Wine!

It's so cool!

"Dad, since it's not sincere, why bother talking about it, why don't we go back to Russia, didn't you say that what you can't get on the battlefield won't get at the negotiation table."

Li Lin lay on the beach chair beside Li Xiao, looking at the sea comfortably.

"Huh! What you can't get on the battlefield, you won't get at the negotiating table.

However, when we have absolute superiority, what we do not get on the battlefield can also be obtained at the negotiating table.

For example, France is a die-hard against the Ming Dynasty.

And Germany, before the war, actually had a good relationship with us.

Last winter, if they hadn't stood still, they might have lost Moscow by now.

Without Moscow, not only the Russians may withdraw from the war.

Moreover, we have lost the most important railway junction.

Tsaritsyn will be separated from the Central Asian Railway, and then we will not win the battle of Tsaritsyn.

So, when the Germans wanted to negotiate with us, I immediately sent Zheng Sen.

When the Germans wanted to know the sincerity of our negotiations, I sent you at the first opportunity.

Now, the situation on the battlefield is not yet fully understood.

The two sides are just imaginary and wrong, leaving a channel for talking.

If we show overwhelming superiority on the battlefield, then things will change.

We can ask Germany to withdraw its troops, or even Germany, to help us dismember France. ”

Li Xiao said to his son with a smile.

"Dismemberment of France?" Li Lin's eyes widened, he didn't expect that his father would have such a fierce move to make.

"Your second uncle has always wanted to land on the Mediterranean coast of France, and then go straight to Paris."

"That's right!

The second uncle told me many times that this could be regarded as opening up the second front, and he was sure that he would attack the city of Paris within half a year. ”

"Huh!

It's not that simple, he is leading the Marine Corps instead of the real army, how can he conduct a large-scale offensive operation hundreds of kilometers away.

Besides, far from the coastline, his naval artillery could no longer support the marines.

So how many troops do you need to reach the city of Paris, and how many people do you need to cover their supply lines behind them?

Hundreds of kilometers of supply lines, you think it's so easy to maintain.

It was French territory, surrounded by French hostile to us.

So!

The time is not ripe for a second battlefield, and we are not able to mobilize so many forces. ”

"Then why did you approve the second uncle's last tentative attack?" Li Lin asked a little strangely.

"First, it is to make your second uncle die, and second, the necessary harassment still has to be carried out.

In this way, Napoleon could not fight on the Russian front with peace of mind. ”

"Then you said that the dismemberment of France ......!"

"As the main force against the Ming Dynasty, France must of course be punished.

But France, as a dominant nation, is well established in the world.

Paris remains the center of Europe.

It's hard to change that.

So I thought, simply dismember France.

Let France divide into smaller countries like Luxembourg, after all, they were ruled by the aristocracy not so long ago.

Moreover, there are also many earls and dukes who are in exile overseas.

Get those people back and let them continue to rule the territory that belongs to them.

As soon as France is dismantled, the European countries basically cease.

Then let's deal with them one by one!

Until, until Europe is torn apart.

This process may last twenty, thirty, or even fifty years.

It's not just my generation, it's your generation.

It even needs the next generation to continue to work hard.

In the past, I thought that if I defeated the European coalition forces in Russia, I would be able to dominate the world.

But now it seems that it is easy to defeat the European coalition forces, but it is difficult to kill all the European coalition forces.

Once the European coalition forces have escaped, we will have to attack one place in another.

Now just think about it, it's a nightmare.

We don't have that many people, and we don't have that many soldiers.

On a front of thousands of kilometers, occupy the cities and villages of Europe one by one.

So, I thought about it, the way to deal with Europeans is to use Europeans against Europeans.

Our first goal was the dismemberment of France.

After the dismemberment of France, we will dismember England.

It's easy, as you can tell from the name of their country.

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!

Let's find a way to get out of Ireland first, and then ......! ”

"And then there's Scotland, and the Scots hate the British, even more than us."

Li Lin immediately agreed.

"Yes, exactly.

We can also free Wales from British rule.

In this way, Britain has de facto become four countries.

That would make Britain's international influence much smaller.

We can also dismember Germany in a similar way.

They were divided, Saxony, the Black Forest, Bavaria, and Prussia.

To divide them now is to bring them back to what they were.

These things must be done as soon as possible.

Now Germany has only been merged for twenty years, and the dukes are still there, and they still have their own forces.

Once they are gone, their forces are scattered, it will be too difficult to divide them again. Li Xiao took a sip of beer.

In fact, what he really wanted to dismember was actually Germany.

Instead, it is France that will be kept!

The reason is simple, France has existed for a long time as a national subject.

It's not easy to split now!

Germany, on the other hand, did not merge for a long time.

Only last year did the name of the country change from Prussia to the German Empire!

It would certainly take much less effort to dismember them.

Unfortunately, Napoleon was the most important initiator of this war, and he was also the most active promoter.

He even left everything in France and stayed on the front line to direct the war against the Ming Dynasty.

How can this kind of person reconcile with Daming.
