The huge steamer tossed about the sea for more than twenty days before it reached Algiers.

After more than 20 days of eating and drinking, and not having to work. These Ottomans are all red-faced!

Compared with when he first got on the ship, his complexion is not a little better.

As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, a strong fishy sea breeze and a blazing heat wave hit my face.

Calhanoglu blocked out the sun with his hand, and he saw a scene he had never seen in his life.

The harbor was full of all sorts of steamers, and groups of people went down the gangway from the top of the ships.

After gathering at the port, the men were pulled away in carts on four wheels.

That kind of car is very strange, there are no horses and no oxen in front of it, just one person easily pulls dozens of people away.

There were a lot of people working in the harbor, unloading all sorts of things down from the ship.

There's also a machine that's constantly rolling and sends everything down the ship. The workers just have to wait at the bottom!

In the distance, you can also see the warships of the Ming Dynasty, swimming on the surface of the sea like sharks.

There was a roar in the sky from far and near, and Calhanoglu was surprised to see a huge iron bird with iron wings flying from the sky.

"That's an airplane, a powerful thing that only Da Ming has. The bomb that was thrown down by that thing was so big that it could kill dozens or hundreds of people at once. ”

The bearded man glanced up, but he quickly lost interest in the plane.

This thing, he has already seen too much in the Crimea.

The big guy lined up in a long line and walked down the gangway.

They were then placed in a huge tent and waited for the car to pull them away.

Li Xiao came to Sicily again, and the airport in Sicily has been completed.

The Kunpeng bombers that take off from here can easily go deep into the heart of Italy to bomb.

Kunpeng flew to Rome twice, and instead of flyers, he threw down countless leaflets.

The huge size and huge roar of the Kunpeng made the Romans panic very much.

The Pope came out to speak and said that it was God's arrangement for the Ming to rule this world. That's why the weapons of the gods were sent down to help the Ming people.

All of this is God's will!

The Vatican is right next to Rome, and the Pope's words carry a lot of weight in the hearts of the Romans.

Now the Italian parliament is hotly discussing whether Italy wants to leave the European Union and then make peace with the Ming Dynasty alone.

Now is almost the last chance, if you don't cherish this opportunity, maybe you will have to surrender next time.

At that time, the conditions were even more difficult to discuss.

Now there is no more in Sicily, and if it is pulled any further, Cagliari will not be left.

"The renovation of the airport on Corsica is almost complete, and Corsica will be able to take off and land Kunpeng.

In this way, Kunpeng was able to penetrate deep into the heart of France to bomb.

Lyon, Montpellier, Melle-le-Bour, these places, were all within the range of the bomber.

These regions were all important industrial cities in France, and the ammunition produced in them was directly supplied to the French and German fronts.

According to the news from our insider, these factories are now running 24 hours a day without resting people, without resting machines. ”

Zuo Liangyu was on the runway of the airport and began to introduce Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at the huge airport runway, which is five kilometers long.

Even if it takes off a huge Kunpeng, this distance is more than enough.

At one end of the airport, there is also a huge apron and hangar under construction.

There are not only Kunpeng parked on the tarmac, but also many airships.

On the runway, trucks pass by from time to time.

Transport building materials and construction workers!

What a busy scene of prosperity!

"Dashuai, we have wasted so much effort, we can't cheapen the Italians." Zuo Liangyu said what he had thought about for a long time.

"You mean ......!" Li Xiao looked at Zuo Liangyu, who was much darker and thinner.

The dark skin makes his beard appear whiter.

"Sir, I think we should cede Sicily from Italy.

Oh yes, and Corsica!

These two places serve as bases for our marines, and as long as they control these two places, they will control almost the entire Mediterranean, as well as the southern coast of Europe.

And once the airfield in Corsica is repaired, we can threaten the heart of Europe.

If we have more powerful planes in the future, it will not be difficult to fly out and bomb Paris. ”

Zuo Liangyu looks forward to the future and plans the future of the landing team.

After the marshal planned the Marine Corps into a separate service, Zuo Liangyu's rank rose. Now, he is the commander of the independent army like Li Xiu.

Because of the need to protect the maritime interests of the Ming Dynasty, the number of marines has been expanding.

Now it has grown to 40 divisions, close to 550,000 people.

Even so, with the development of Daming's maritime interests, these forces do not seem to be enough.

However, Li Xiao no longer allowed the Marine Corps to continue to increase its troops, after all, it was still during the war, and the Ming Dynasty still had a large number of army troops.

If the Marine Corps expands without restrictions, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly tested.

"Since you said it, then we occupy Corsica and Sicily.

Corsica could threaten the Mediterranean coast of Western Europe, and Sicily was the Corsican back-up.

If you add Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean, the island of Malta in the middle. This is a complete line of defense that will allow us to keep a firm grip on the Mediterranean.

But in the future, in addition to these places, you will also have to garrison Gibraltar.

You should carefully consider the deployment of troops. Anyway, the imperial court can only give you 550,000 posts at present, and you can't have any more.

Do you understand? ”

"No! Don't worry, I will definitely deploy my troops properly. We will definitely protect our overseas interests!

I'm going to occupy key positions in some of the key waterways, and I'm going to have a heavy presence in those places.

For example, the canal area on both sides of the Suez Canal, as well as Xinjiapo.

I found out that there is a good location in the Indian Ocean called Diego Garcia.

But now that place is occupied by the navy, we ......! ”

"Diego Garcia, that place is better for the navy. After a while there will be less tension and we will build an airport there.

You Marines can set up a base there and garrison some of them.

It's kind of shared with the Navy!

Oh yes!

Now the number of aircraft is increasing, and in the future we will create an Air Force Command.

At that time, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Navy, and the Army will become independent arms. ”
