"The Ming fleet has retreated?" Rundstedt received shocking news.

However, according to the prior agreement, the Ming fleet needed to ensure the success of the German landing. Now that the German army has landed successfully, the Ming fleet can be regarded as having completed the prior agreement.

"Yes! The Ming fleet has already informed us that they will retreat at noon. ”

Chief of Staff von Bock sighed helplessly.

The Germans, from top to bottom, understood everything. The reason why it was able to withstand the frantic counterattack of the British army yesterday was entirely because of the overwhelming artillery fire of the Ming warships.

Especially that kind of arsenal ship, three arsenal ships fired a salvo. Within a radius of five or six kilometers, all life on the surface was wiped out.

Seeing the firepower of the Ming army, the Germans were extremely envious.

Now in the German Navy, there are only a couple of coal-burning destroyers. If no one else compares, these destroyers look okay in Europe.

But if you compare it with the Ming fleet, then it's ...... It's not worth lifting shoes for others.

If the Ming army wanted to annihilate the German navy, it was easier than crushing an ant.

"Immediately send someone to fight for it, and try to get their arsenal ships to fire a few volleys before the Ming army retreats.

There were also several powerful bombardments of the German fortifications with howitzers.

If the Ming people are gone, we will have to do these things ourselves. "Rundstedt knew that Daming's promise had been fulfilled.

All that's left is to settle accounts with the Imperial Treasury Department.

What the Ministry of Finance thinks, that's not something that Rundstedt needs to think about. What he has to do now is to exhaust the firepower of the Ming army.

Blow up the road to London for the Germans!

"Yes!" Feng. Bock said yes and immediately walked out.

Yesterday evening, the airship troops suffered heavy losses. So today, von. The only thing that Bock can mobilize is a cargo airship.

At this time, Li Xiao had secretly left Western Europe and readjusted his strategic focus to Eastern Europe.

The Russian army, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, has completed the full occupation of Ukraine. For the Russian army, this is a reconquest.

According to the Russians, Kiev is the birthplace of the Slavs. You can't fall into the wrong hands!

The resumption of rule over Kiev rejoiced all of Russia. Even the lowest serfs were rewarded with wine and meat by their masters as a sign of celebration!

And Poland, another important power in Eastern Europe, has been divided under the auspices of the Ming Dynasty.

Russia occupied Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The rest of Poland was occupied by Germany.

Warsaw, the capital of Poland, was finally occupied by the Germans after a bloody battle.

At this time, Warsaw had become a ruin.

If the Germans had not urgently procured the Ming Dynasty's super-large caliber mortars, they would definitely have lost more lives in Warsaw.

Because of the resolute resistance of the Warsaw people, after the war, the Germans imprisoned all the men, women and children in Warsaw in a labor camp.

According to Lu Zhu, the labor camp is a hell on earth. It is estimated that in less than two years, eighty percent of these Poles will die.

Especially the children and the elderly, there is little hope of survival.

Li Xiaocai didn't care about the life or death of the Poles, Poland at this time was a huge empire.

Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia are all part of Poland. Well, now Poland is dismembered.

In other words, Europe will henceforth have one less great power.

"We have pushed the borders of Russia outward, on the basis of five years ago, by another 400 kilometers.

These are all thanks to the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty, Paul, I remember the kindness of Daming. "Kutuzov is already very old.

Regency sounds like one person under ten thousand, but it's a very tiring job.

It's like Kutuzov in front of him, and all the hair on his head has turned white.

The furrows on his face are also deeper, and his face is paler.

What impressed Li Xiao the most was that the original javelin-like ridge back was now hunched.

"Russia has no interest in continuing to advance westward." Li Xiao smiled and looked at Kutuzov.

Listening to Li Xiao's words, Kutuzov was suffocated. A major war in Europe has just ended, could it be said that the Ming Dynasty is brewing another war?

"You're still going to fight?"

Kutuzov was deeply shocked, he knew that with Russia's national strength, it was simply impossible to continue into the next war.

If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!

As regent, Kutuzov knew that Russia's economy was on the verge of collapse.

For the sake of the war, Russia had to conscript a large number of people into the army. And the Russians, who don't have enough to eat among the people, also like to be soldiers, at least they can eat enough.

So many people have been conscripted that the great Russia is facing a terrible economic crisis.

When the war first began, the Ming Dynasty did not have as much manpower as Russia invested. But now, the Ming Dynasty has garrisoned 1.5 million troops in Russia.

One country has deployed an army of 1.5 million people in another.

If you add the Ming army, which stabilized the country, and the Ming marines who were fighting in the Mediterranean, the total number of troops in the Ming army easily exceeded 2.8 million.

To maintain such a large army, and to maintain it thousands of miles away.

What a lot of manpower, material and financial resources are needed!

Could it be that Daming has become rich to this point?

"I know that Russia is having some difficulties right now, your economy is on the verge of collapse. Your lords are in private and ready to move.

Paul was too young for anyone to take the child seriously.

If the war is stopped now, only God knows what kind of difficulties Russia will encounter in the future.

The only way to do this is to continue the war and let it go on.

Only with three million Russian troops firmly in their hands can they suppress those grand dukes. Let them not dare to have any other thoughts!

If Russia had stopped the war, disbanded its army and returned to the local area, it would still be a peasant under the Grand Dukes.

So imagine that you just get a gun production line. The Grand Dukes were able to arm their armies in their own realms.

After all, there are too many demobilized veterans around me.

Any idea what that means? The consequence of this is that Russia is likely to be divided, and any attempt to mobilize those troops will be met with strong opposition from local mayors or something.

It will only take a few years for Russia to slowly emerge from the haze of war.

But at that time, you will find that those grand dukes are already ready to act in private.

If at this time, someone fanned the wind on the side, and even organized it in private.

Then, the empire will fall apart one day. Although, I hope this scene never appears on Red Square. ”
