According to Clausetz, war is an extension and continuation of political means. Politics, on the other hand, serves interests.

The stakes here are not just money, but mines, land, seas, or all sorts of rights.

For Kong Tingxun, it is the hope of living and the future of the child in his wife's womb.

As a person who betrayed Daming, Kong Tingxun knew that once Daming knew about his existence and came up with a lot of ideas for Germany, the Kong family would be finished in Daming.

Even if his father Kong Youde is already a general, he will be involved in the extermination of his family.

Li Xiao is extremely disgusted with traitors, and he will never tolerate such a family living well in this world.

The only way to calm Li Xiao's anger is to make the family disappear physically.

Seeing that his wife's belly is getting bigger day by day, Kong Tingxun's thoughts as a father have gradually increased.

He had to find a future for his family, and he wanted to die a natural death.

At the moment, it seems that this goal is getting farther and farther away from itself. A very important reason is that Ribbentrop is about to reach an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, and Germany is about to fully cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

In order for himself to survive and live better, Kong Tingxun dared to do anything.

The two telegrams were secretly sent, and after they were sent, the telegraph operator burned the manuscript of the telegram.

In the midst of the flames, a violent explosion broke out in the newspaper room.

Everything was torn apart, including the telegraph machine and the operator who was burning the manuscript of the telegram.

Almost simultaneously, over the Black Forest, an airship was shot down by intensive artillery fire.

It's not right to say that it's dense, it's just three eight guns.

But in those years, the 88 artillery has been changed from air defense to tanks. Moreover, the losses on the front line were huge, and all the eight or eight artillery pieces in the rear were sent to the front line.

Now there are three doors at once, which can indeed be said to be dense.

The flaming airship airbags are like a red sun in the night sky. Listen to the pod falling rapidly, making a loud noise as it hits the ground.

If there were people around at this time, they could even see people covered in fire escaping from the pod.

Among those who escaped, there was a fellow named Ribbentrop, who was no longer as graceful as he had been, and who, like a burning torch, howled like a human voice in the dark night.

At the same time, Napoleon lost his mind while holding a telegram in his hand.

"Clemenceau, can we believe this telegram?" Napoleon said as he looked at the Dnieper River, which flowed quietly in the night.

"The Germans on the northern front had actually disengaged with the Ming army. The two sides were separated by about 50 kilometers, and the troops on the front line were all Nordic troops.

So far, the Ming army has not done much on the northern front.

And the German army, naturally, did not provoke the Ming army. He is already tacitly ceasefired! Clemenceau was clever enough not to answer Napoleon's words directly, but to speak about the current situation on the Northern Front.

In fact, the current war is only fought on the southern front.

Both the German Nordic Army and the Polish Army have in fact achieved a realistic ceasefire with the Ming Dynasty.

"So, you think it's true?" Napoleon reluctantly put the telegram on the table.

He also knew that the telegram must be true, but he also hoped that it was fake.

Because this telegram is telling the truth, then the darkest hour for France is coming.

The situation is already unfavorable, and it will be too unfavorable.

If the Germans surrendered, the rest of Europe would not follow suit. Especially the Nordic countries, which are not very strong, and the Poles, who are always on the move.

Once all these people have defected, then the only ones who are unlucky are the French.

According to the telegram, the only condition for the Ming to allow them to surrender was that these countries would cooperate with the Ming to attack France!

At that time, the French army, which was isolated and exhausted and demoralized, was likely to be annihilated by the absolute superiority of many countries.

In that case, France's spine would be broken. Moreover, it may not stand up for hundreds of years.

"German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop has been in Athens and has been talking with the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

It is said that the two of them are now in a bad relationship, and they are already wearing a pair of pants.

If Germany does accept this condition, the agreement will be signed soon. Your Majesty, I feel that at this time we need to retreat as soon as possible.

Bring the troops back to the past, so that we can fight on our home soil and defend our country, and the morale of the soldiers will be very high.

At the same time, our supply lines will be greatly shortened, which is beneficial for us. ”

Clemenceau cautiously suggested to Napoleon.

Napoleon nodded, in fact the army of France was already shrinking. Even the army in Kyiv has already stepped on the train to the country.

Some time ago, after a Jedi counterattack in Donetsk. The French, recaptured Kharkov.

Taking advantage of the gap between the Ming army and the rest, France was stepping up the retreat of the army.

The defense line at the very front has changed from Donetsk to Kharkov.

As long as there is another half a month, you will be able to retreat from Kharkov, and at this time time time is life, it means everything.

"Well, order the troops to speed up and retreat. Those kinds of equipment that are in the way, if they can't do it, they will blow up some of them, and they must not fall into the hands of the Ming people.

In this way, the retreat may be faster. ”

Napoleon sighed helplessly.

France's future is over, and there is no hope.

The Ming hated the betrayal of France, and in the Battle of Tsaritsyn, it was the French army who offended the Ming army in blood.

Now that the Ming army has the upper hand, with the careful eyes of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, he will never let him go.

These Orientals did not follow the rules of Europe and treated him, the Emperor of France, with courtesy.

Napoleon had no doubt that Li Xiao would cut off his head, and he would also save it as a warning to future generations.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty Wude Palace, there are several wax figures made of living enemy generals.

It is placed there to show the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty!

Napoleon was absolutely convinced that if he was captured, he would become the highest-ranking of the wax figures.

Even if he withdrew to France, he still could not escape the fate of failure. But after all, that can drag on for a lot of time.

I will also buy myself some time to run the South American colony better.

I heard that the Amazon estuary is very abundant in water and the land is extremely fertile, and if you can settle there, it will be a retreat.

The Dnieper River was still flowing quietly, but the French army had already accelerated the pace of retreat. They even discarded a lot of heavy equipment, and many of the guns dragged by mules and horses were stuffed with explosives in the barrels.

After a loud "boom", all the shells and artillery exploded into the sky.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Sir, the Air Force has detected a massive retreat by the French. They have already retreated across the Don and have a tendency to begin to assemble towards Kiev.

In order to retreat quickly, they even blew up a lot of heavy artillery. Some troops even dropped ammunition on both sides of the road. ”

Zhao Liangdong took the telegram and walked into Li Xiao's office with a roar.

"Oh!" Li Xiao withdrew his eyes from the golden sand.

The scenery of Crete seems to be different from that of Nicosia. After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiao figured out that the harbor of Nicosia was on the south side of the island.

Standing in the building, I saw the side of the sun, and the sky was naturally bright.

But standing in the Cretan building, the beach is facing north, and the sun is behind Li Xiao, and the sky will naturally look darker.

Sometimes, even if you look at the same scenery from different angles, you will have different feelings.

What's more, these are two places.

"So to speak, Napoleon was ready to abandon Kyiv and Ukraine.

In the end, it is a generation of military gods, and there is still the determination to break the wrist.

It's just a pity that even if Ukraine is abandoned, we will not let him go.

Back in France, he will only feel more uncomfortable. In the end, it was difficult to escape the fate of defeat and surrender. ”

Li Xiao smiled, and the slightest excitement about the victory over Napoleon was not satisfied.

The victory or defeat of the war depends on the strength, with tanks, infantry tanks, armored vehicles, and planes in the sky to help, if the Ming army defeats this war, it will be a shame.

In the current situation, even if Napoleon had preserved his troops and successfully withdrawn to France, the Ming army would still have won the final victory.

There is no way to do it, the gap in equipment is too big.

"Marshal, we should send an armored unit to pursue us. In this way, more French troops could be eliminated. Zhao Liangdong was very anxious.

Indeed, if pursued with armored forces. The four legs will definitely not be able to outrun the tracks, and as long as the French army is in disarray, it will be a rout immediately.

It is much easier to eliminate a French army now than it is to destroy a French army on French soil.

"Huh! Now our armored forces are almost resting. You told them to give up their rest and go after the French?

What to do with those half-dismantled tanks? Can it all be packed in a day?

Even if they are pretended to be and chased after them in a hurry, what if they are ambushed by the French?

In that part of Ukraine, the woods are all countdown. Many roads are completely hidden by forests.

How do you know in which woods the French are in ambush?

Although they are in positional warfare, they do not have a very good way to deal with our armored forces.

But if there is an ambush, they have bazookas, and anti-tank grenades. Our army may not be able to take advantage of it, and even if it does not get it right, it may even suffer a big loss. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Then let them run away like that?" Li Lin was also a little anxious, what a good opportunity this was, taking advantage of the retreat of the French army to eliminate the main force of the French army in one fell swoop.

At the very least, he was able to bite off a piece of meat on the French army.

"Run, run! In the future, it will be the Germans and the German allies who will deal with the French army, and we will only send the air force.

It would also be good to keep more French and consume each other with the Germans.

By the way, there is no news from the Germans? Zheng Sen hasn't negotiated yet? ”

Li Xiao was a little dissatisfied with Zheng Sen's serious procrastination, and he just broke the agreement, and he didn't negotiate it after half a year.

What a disappointment!

Da Honglu telegraphed that the day before yesterday Libentlov had rushed back to Berlin in the starry night.

I believe that what happened in Berlin is what happened in the past few days. ”

"Hmmm! Reach an agreement with Germany as soon as possible, and then force the French back to France.

The rest is Gibraltar.

As long as Gibraltar is taken, our warships will be able to appear in the Atlantic.

When the time comes, Britain should be the first country that can't stand it. Li Xiao shook his head and smiled.

The two little ones are still too anxious, and it is not good to eliminate too many French now.

Let the French and Germans dog-eat-dog, that's all that matters.

The conquest of Europe is actually not the most important thing, what Li Xiao wants most is to make the current Europe a shattered Europe.

Especially in Germany, Li Xiao wants to return Germany to the Germany of the Middle Ages.

In a place the size of a township, you dare to call yourself a king when you build a castle. What a wonderful thing that is!

If you look at India now, there are not many problems at all.

Except for the fact that there were always fights between those princely states and that the Ming Dynasty needed to send people to quell the rebellion, Li Xiao thought that they were very harmonious.

Li Xiao believes that Europe also needs to build a harmonious society in this way.

When Europe is shattered, no country will be able to bargain with the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, that country has not even been able to complete the large-scale development of the western region.

Those who advanced westward were still under frequent attacks from the Indians.

It is estimated that this process will not be completed in ten or twenty years.

Actually, Li Xiao didn't want to attack Gibraltar too early.

Because as long as Gibraltar is conquered, Britain will definitely surrender.

No way, London is at the mouth of the River Thames. Places including York, Edinburgh and Nottingham are mostly on the coast.

Against the British, it was not necessary to land an army at all.

All it takes is a naval blockade, combined with incessant shelling of cities, to bring Britain to its knees.

The UK then became England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland as four unrelated countries.

If any of them wanted to expand the border, they would be hit by the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

Li Xiao thought that the divided borders of Europe would become permanent borders, and any attempt to change the borders would be attacked by all countries.

A Europe that is divided and has become a myriad of small countries is a reassuring and safe Europe.

After the division of Europe, Russia became a behemoth.

Thus, it is inevitable to divide Russia again.

First of all, Ukraine will become independent, then Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland will also be seceded.

Poland is too big to be further divided.

It's like the Danze area, which needs to be carved out separately.
