From the sky, Basra doesn't really see much to see, as soon as you leave the city walls, you can only see a yellow patch.

The 30-kilometer-long isolation zone has become an artificial desert. Sun Zhijie did a great job, and there was not even a root of grass in the entire thirty kilometers of the area.

I don't know where to get the herbicide to achieve this effect. I hope this guy doesn't sprinkle liquefied chlorine on the ground, and then the sin will be bigger.

This barrier at least ensures that the artillery shells of the resistance will be difficult to reach the city of Basra.

With sufficient artillery support, no one could pose a threat to Basra.

As for the concept of protecting the environment, there is no market for it in these years.

Even if there is a little sprout, it only exists in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still an enlightened place like the capital.

There are military camps outside the isolation zone, all of which are earthy yellow houses, except that the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Ming Dynasty is hung outside. It shows that the Ming army is stationed here.

"The security inside the city is the responsibility of our Ming marines, and the safety outside the city depends on them.

A company is stationed here every three kilometers, all in echelon configurations. The three Indian divisions in my hands are scattered here. ”

Sun Zhijie pointed to the barracks scattered under his feet!

In other words, Basra is now a tortoise shell. The Indians were at the front, and the Indians were in charge of the outside of the walls. Li Xiao finally understood Sun Zhijie's Basra defense system.

This is a standard echelon defense, with the outermost part being the Foreign Legion's murderous and arson-based assault.

Then there was the defensive circle of Indian cannon fodder, and finally the Ming sergeants standing on the city walls.

The outermost Indians did not even receive artillery support from the Ming army.

Fortunately, there are airships in the sky that can patrol the air for a long time. All Arabs who break into Basra will be torn to shreds by rapid-fire guns on airships.

Li Xiao didn't speak, and others didn't speak, and the whole airship looked a little dull.

"How did you manage such a big barrier? You won't be smoked with chlorine, will you? Li Xiao pointed to the isolation belt below and asked Sun Zhijie beside him.

"If you go back to Dashuai, it is the sea water that has been watered for a year. The salinity in the land has increased, so that nothing grows. ”

It turned out to be an artificial saline-alkali land, and I was taught!

Later generations are wondering how to turn saline-alkali land into fertile land. This world is good, thinking about how to turn fertile land into saline-alkali land.

Although it has destroyed the land on which many people depend, it has ensured the safety of the city of Basra, especially the port of Basra.

There are huge oil tankers that have been in and out of the area for many years, and if they are shelled, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There can be no doubt about Sun Zhijie, there is no market for environmental protection in these days, and what Basra needs most now is safety.

"There are a lot of Type 1 tanks that have retreated from the Russian front line, and I see that you can bring them to you.

The domestic side will give you some drivers, and you will also train some yourself.

With these Type 1 and Type 2 tanks, Basra will be much safer. ”

Li Xiao reluctantly opened his mouth to release water, in fact, the first and second type tanks are very popular. Not only domestic needs, but also many overseas bases are rushing to get them.

Especially in Australia, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the local troublemakers are hidden in the distant hinterland of Australia.

However, many of those mines are in the hinterland of Australia.

The railways that transported the ore were often attacked by the natives. I don't know where they have so much hatred for Daming, and they think about the railroad all day long.

It's all picked up at night, and they run away after picking up. By the time the Ming cavalry patrol arrived, these guys who were familiar with geography had long since disappeared.

As a last resort, they can only use airships to hunt down these natives everywhere during the day.

The natives who could be killed couldn't figure out if it was the Boer who demolished the railway.

A hundred and ten kilometers around the railway, as long as there is smoke, it will be attacked by airships.

These retired Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 tanks have been asked for several times by the Australian side.

It is to prepare for the whole territory of Australia, to hunt down those natives who ambush people everywhere with bows and arrows.

Now that a part of these things is given to Sun Zhijie, he will definitely be complained about by the Australian side.

But it can't be helped, iron ore is important, and oil is even more important.

Li Xiao can only choose a balance between the pain in the heart of the hand and the pain in the back of the hand.

"Thank you, handsome! Thank you, Dashuai! "I heard that tanks were given, although they were second-hand, but the Kurds did not take advantage of any anti-tank weapons.

Even a tank is very useful in front of the Kurds, who only have light weapons.

"Hmm!" Li Xiao was very satisfied, and estimated that with these tanks, the security of Basra would be even safer.

As long as the Basra oil field is preserved, so that Daming has a stable source of oil, this is more than anything else.

"With these tanks, we will be able to take back Iraq, then Mosul, Deir ez-Zor.

We were able to drive the Kurds all the way into the mountains of northern Iraq.

By that time, the Kurds would have become dogs in cages that had survived.

Let's slowly starve people and starve them to death.

It is estimated that within a few years, the Kurds will be almost exhausted. Coupled with regular patrols and sweeps, the Kurds will eventually be exterminated. ”

Li Xiao didn't expect that after having the equipment and the blessing of the Foreign Legion, and the support of tanks, Sun Zhijie did not think about defense at all, but actively attacked.

It seems that this kid is also an offensive guy in his bones. After such a long period of patience, it is estimated that all his patience has been exhausted.

Now that I have a little bit of resources, I immediately want to make up for the anger I have received in the past two years.

O sad Arabs......!

Those who have been so caught up in fanatical religious ideas have no idea that they are constantly teasing a sleeping lion.

When the lion's patience wears off, it leaps wildly, then leisurely spits out a few human bones and continues to sleep.

The so-called tiger sleeps for a long time, and the lion king is drunk!

"Since the captive mercenaries are useful, let's continue to send the captive camp here.

Good news for you, we have just annihilated the heavy army of the Hebrews in Kursk.

Together with the Austro-Plenum army that killed hundreds of thousands of people, oh yes! And 50,000 Swiss!

It is said that these Swiss are very capable of fighting, even if they are besieged by tanks, artillery and air force bombing, they are fighting with us inch by inch.

In the end, it really hit until the ammunition was exhausted, and then he surrendered to us.

I'm going to find a way to get you these 50,000 Swiss. "Now that the lion has opened its mouth, it is better to open it a little bigger.

Give Sun Zhijie a little encouragement directly!

"Great, I've heard for a long time that the Swiss are brave and good at fighting, and the Pope chooses the Guard, and they are all Swiss Guards.

Only the Swiss can be the Pope's Guard. ”

Sun Zhijie almost bubbled with snot with happiness, and happiness came so suddenly that it was a little unreal.

"Big ...... Dashuai, I don't know how to say it.

I promise you, as long as you get these 50,000 Swiss people. Within three months, I would be able to take Baghdad.

Take Mosul in half a year, and in two years at most I will be able to bury all the Kurds under the sand. ”

It can be seen that Sun Zhijie really hates the Kurds. The kind that I hate even more than Li Xiao!

"I want to figure out a way, but it's just an assumption now, and whether it can succeed or not depends on how things progress.

But I promise you, I'll get you those tanks. For the time being, fifty will be ordered, but the tankman will only give you twenty, and the country will get you another ten.

This is already the limit, and you can solve the rest by yourself, and I can't help it. ”

"No! Thank you, Dashuai! Sun Zhijie rubbed her hands excitedly.

The airship flew for an hour before it saw the Arab village.

There was a spectacular scene of more than two dozen airships floating in the sky, which these Arabs had never really seen.

Many people even bow to the sky, and they don't know what this guy is worshipping.

Although there was not much time, there were still many Ming soldiers on the ground.

Li Xiao wanted to lower the height and see what the Arabs had in their territory.

Sun Zhijie didn't kill him, took out a pistol and pressed it on the driver's head, and if he dared to drop the height, he would shoot him immediately.

Li Xiao is very suspicious of Sun Zhijie's IQ, kill the pilot, will you drive an airship?

However, suspicion is suspicion, and Li Xiao still did not fulfill his desire to observe the Arabs up close.

From Basra to the north, there is a wide asphalt road.

Where oil is produced, how can there be less asphalt.

The road is said to go north and all the way to Baghdad. Li Xiao really wanted to go to the front line in Baghdad, and this time, the people of an airship were forced to die.

There was no way, Li Lin was also on the airship, and Li Xiao didn't want to give up, so he could only give up this tempting idea.

The airship turned back to Basra, and Li Xiao had an overall concept of the Basra oil field.

Sun Zhijie has managed this place solidly, but on the contrary, the Canal Zone is full of crises.

Fortunately, I found out about it, and it's still too late to fill the gap.

The dinner was very rich, and I don't know where Sun Zhijie found the turkey.

The turkey was so huge, Li Xiao repeatedly asked if this guy was a roasted ostrich.

After getting a positive answer again and again, Li Xiao still felt that this guy should be roasting an ostrich.

Just when Li Xiao was shocked by the ostrich, another big dish came up

The dish ......! It's a fucking big dish, roasted whole camels.

A large roasted whole camel was brought to me on a golden plate. The camel was also sprinkled with rice, raisins, dates, and the like.

The type is somewhat like eight-treasure rice, but a little greasy.

I really don't know why Mo Silin likes to eat oily things, scooping up a spoonful of rice with a spoon, and the oil droplets are actually connected into strings.

To be honest, Li Xiao would rather eat some light boat dishes than eat this thing at this time.

But helplessly, the following was full of generals and officers, all of whom were the leading figures of the Ming Dynasty in the Middle East.

In this part of the Middle East, it is basically under the control of the military, so the military has the final say on all matters, big and small.

Even Sun Zhijie is carrying the card of the lieutenant general!

"Now, the Generalissimo will give me a lecture!" Sun Zhijie's voice landed, and immediately the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.

Li Xiao stood in front of the microphone and looked at the large group of Ming officers below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all officers of the Ming Dynasty.

There are generals, colonels, and lieutenants!

Before the restructuring, you might be a guerrilla, a general, and that Sun Zhijie, no matter how he said it, he was also a chief military officer.

Why do I mention this today, because twenty-three years ago on the bank of the Hunhe River in Shenyang, I saw for the first time how the Ming army fought.

The white pole soldiers, the Qi family army, they faced the fierce and more than twice as many Tartar soldiers, they fought to the death and did not retreat, and they all died in battle.

It was snowing that night, and the snow and ice in the Hunhe River collided with each other and made a rustling sound.

It was very cold, and Ao Ye and I were huddled in the trenches. That night, we both thought we were going to freeze to death on the edge of the Hundy River.

Neither of us spoke, just listened to the "woo" and "woo" of the wounded soldiers lying outside.

It's like crying, and it's like laughing.

It was a sound that was unbearable, there was no doctor here, and the little medicine I had with me was used for whatever I could.

The rest can only be carried, and if you resist the past, you will live, and if you can't resist, you will die. In this doggy era, there is no reason to talk about it.

I've never heard such a scary voice in my life, one after another, like a tide rushing over me.

In the second half of the night, the whimpering outside the trench gradually became quieter. I think most of them must have fallen asleep.

Only a few people were still "wooing" and "wooing", and the sound was floating around one by one, sounding like they were talking.

You ask, and he answers. The voice was desolate, and it didn't sound like it came from a living person.

After a long time, only one voice was left whimpering.

The voice was as low as a mosquito chirping, and it flew gently around the face.

Listening to it, it doesn't look like it's moaning, but like it's singing some minor key.

There was no sound around, only this sound, which went around for a long time.

After staying up all night, I finally saw the morning star rise.

When the sky turned white, I knew I had finally survived the night. I swear, it's the first time I've seen Skylight so excited.

At dawn, there was no sound. I pulled Ao Ye to lie on the edge of the trench and looked out, and the hundreds of wounded soldiers who were still shouting yesterday were all dead.

He lay on the ground and didn't move. The body was covered with white snow, forming a human-shaped bulge on the ground.

All the people who were still alive in the trenches stared blankly for a long time, and no one spoke. Even Ao is used to seeing life and death like this, and he has been standing for a long time.

After a long time, Ao Ye shook his head and sighed: "Miserable! ””

There was silence below, and no one knew why the big marshal said this.

Why am I saying this today?

I want to tell you that 23 years ago, the Ming Dynasty's frontier defense line was in Liaodong, and our ancestors had to fight a bloody battle outside Shenyang.

Today, the border line of the Ming is in Smolensk, in Kursk, in the Crimea, in Corsica, here...... Basra!

In the space of 23 years, our front has been pushed outward by tens of thousands of kilometers.

Over the past 23 years, you and your predecessors have poured out the fertile soil with all your liver and blood, and laid a great territory for you and for my Chinese descendants.

Our soldiers have never been so powerful in 5,000 years.

Our soldiers have not won such a great victory in 5,000 years.

Our soldiers have not been so glorious in 5,000 years.

Young men, do you just want to live this life in the glory of your predecessors? ”

"I don't want to!"

"We want to make a difference!"

"We want to punish the world for not being subordinate!"

"Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away!"

The officers below were crazy, staring at each with blood-red eyes, waving their arms and roaring.

"Then take up your spears, slay your enemies, and forge your glory with their blood and heads!

Huaxia Yan Huang will always be there, and the Chinese martial soul will always be there.

The emperor is thick! Bless me forever! ”
