Chapter 301
"Seven days earlier, the Germans had advanced sixty kilometers from London.
How come seven days have passed, and they are still on that front. Could it be that in seven days, they did not advance a kilometer? ”
After inspecting the Smolensk-Minsk railway, Li Xiao returned to the command post in Moscow.
After checking the latest battle report, I felt that the trajectory of the German army was strange.
"Marshal, our army has stopped bombing the British mainland. And at my behest, the Navy also spared two American munitions ships.
For this, Britain paid tolls to the navy. ”
"It's ......!" Li Xiao pouted helplessly, this war has made a business.
Li Xiu actually became a road robber, and he also opened a toll station on the sea. I opened this mountain, I occupied this sea, if I want to pass from here, leave the money to buy the road.
There is no mistake
"This time, the second master sent a telegram to the General Staff. I agreed!
Let the British have more ammunition, and you can also consume more German troops.
This is not!
We stopped shelling and spared two munitions ships. The British had already created a defensive line fifty to sixty kilometers outside London under the cover of heavy artillery.
Now it seems that the British army is fighting on its own soil after all. The defense line was very strong, and the Germans attacked for seven days, and suffered nearly 100,000 casualties and still did not take it. ”
Struwell took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself!
It's hard to say anything about this Li Xiao, after all, people are also for the harmony of their own brothers.
"Collecting money is such a thing, just do it. You're right, it's good for the British to have more arms.
Although this is a bit of a loss of character, where is there still such a thing as character in the war? A moral gentleman does not live long at all in a war.
Between countries, there is no loyalty, morality, fairness, and other emotions between people. Yes, just naked interests.
I'll carry this pot. After all, my head is bigger. In the future, if anyone mentions this, you can just ask them to come to me. ”
Li Xiao nodded, and then signed his name on the report with a big stroke of the pen.
"It looks like as long as we keep releasing water. The Germans can only grind around the periphery of London, and it is estimated that the Germans know in their hearts that we did it.
Zheng Sen, on his part, should be questioned by Ribbentrop. Stilwell nodded and accepted the paper.
Li Xiao is a responsible person, which is much stronger than Emperor Chongzhen.
If Emperor Chongzhen was willing to take care of things for his courtiers, the Ming Dynasty would not be in that place.
But that's a good thing, too!
If the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic, how can Dashuai take advantage of the situation.
If there was no rise of the great marshal, how could the Ming Dynasty be today.
Today's Ming Empire is not plotting any piece of land. It's the real world!
Even Stilwell never imagined that the world would be so big.
Europa alone spans almost 10,000 kilometers.
In the past, who dared to say that the Ming Dynasty fought in Europe and killed Stilwell would not believe it. But now, half of Europe is actually under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
"The railway in Smolensk is well repaired, and you still have capable people in the historian. In the future, Shi Danai will be a qualified Minister of Railways. Li Xiao was very appreciative and mentioned Shi Danai to Steawell.
"The boy was willing to endure hardships and was very calculating.
Moreover, the good construction of the railway is not his own credit.
This time, the imperial court used 500,000 prisoners of war in order to build the European section of the Eurasian Railway.
And that's not counting the Poles and Lithuanians who were temporarily drafted!
Moreover, the cost of building the railway was also transported from within the Ming Dynasty.
The railway is being built so quickly, and it is all planned by you. Stanley, I'm just picking up your teeth. ”
"Your Shi family is humble, and being too modest is pride.
I fucking discovered that fighting a war is actually a process of building railroads. As long as I build the railroad wherever I go, my soldiers can fight wherever they go.
Grandma's, Lao Tzu didn't come to Europe to fight, but to build railways in Europe. Li Xiao scolded helplessly.
The European war dragged on for two years, mainly because the double line of the Central Asian railway was not repaired.
As long as the double line of the Central Asian Railway is repaired, the huge materials of the Ming Dynasty will come in a surge.
The direct consequence was that the Ming began to explode troops in the country, and columns of Ming soldiers came to Russia from China.
A division can be added almost every day!
In just four months, the number of Ming soldiers in Russia doubled to two million.
The number of troops has become abundant, and the equipment has a crushing advantage.
Soon, the European coalition was defeated. In the end, Germany turned against the water, and France fell.
"Shuai, you said that. Fighting a war is actually fighting logistics!
When there is nothing to eat, the soldier can eat grass roots and tree bark, or tighten his belt for a day.
But there were no bullets in the chamber, no shells in the chamber, no gasoline in the fuel tanks of the planes.
This is a major matter that has a bearing on the success or failure of the whole army, but we must not dare to be careless. ”
"Yes! To fight a war is to fight logistics.
As a matter of fact, those of us who are officials have long lost the right to specifically command the troops.
It is impossible for me to go to the front and command a regiment, a division.
So, we can only make some decisions strategically. The rest can only be played by the officers on the front line.
And all we can do is give them strong protection.
You can't let them freeze, they can't go hungry, they can't go to the battlefield, and they can't be left with ammunition in their magazines.
When artillery support is needed, there will always be a large number of shells falling on enemy positions.
Now it looks like we're doing pretty well. Li Xiao thought about the battle for the defense of Tsarizin three years ago, and his heart was still full of joy.
At that time, as long as one cannot hold on, it will be the loss of Russia and the loss of a foothold in Europe.
The battle line of the Ming Dynasty had to shrink back thousands of kilometers until it reached the Western Regions.
It's all right! I kept it at that time!
Li Xiao nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The domestic support is too great, the General Staff counted it. In the past three years, the total amount of materials and ammunition shipped from Daming to Russia is 1.9 million tons!
On average, more than 600,000 tons are required in a year.
Except for a small portion of the grain, most of these things are ammunition.
I've been to see those units that have done well, and one of the guns in the Battle of Tsaritsyn broke ten barrels alone.
If it weren't for that time, we would have constant artillery cover. Perhaps, Napoleon will be killed directly. ”
