Chapter 354

"A few Germans were caught at the front, and they crossed the border to fight guerrillas in Ukraine.

There's a guy who's still a lieutenant officer! ”

After breakfast, Li Xiao and Ao Ye sat on the sofa together and listened to the briefing.

"! It's all called, what's the matter, I brought the first army over? "The heating in the office is very good, and Ao Ye is wearing a shoulder and a thick cigar in his mouth.

"Forget it, why bother in the winter. It has been three years, and the brothers have rested.

You don't know what winter is like in Russia. It's so cold and snowy that even stones can freeze and crack.

Besides, we didn't send people to harass us.

It's just that the people we sent are quite effective, and we don't need our people to command them.

However, this battle was still good, in the deep mountains and old forests, it was able to surround a thousand or hundreds of people at once. Li Xiao also had a large cigar in his mouth.

When the two of them were together, they either smoked or drank. In other words, that's all men have to offer.

"Hmmm! Not to mention, in the case of mountains and forests, it is really beautiful to be able to fight so beautifully in one battle.

There are not many troops in our First Army that can fight such a record, and the Mongolian regiment is really quite neat.

If it weren't for your wariness of the Japanese state, I would really like to get a Japanese group.

Those people are really fucking not afraid of death when they fight. "Ao Ye has always admired the combat power of the Japanese people, and the formation of the Japanese National Regiment, and even the matter of the Japanese National Division, has been mentioned to Li Xiao several times.

"Ao Ye, how many times have you said it, don't mention this kind of thing. In a country like the Wa Kingdom, it is not easy to create an environment that emphasizes commerce over military force.

Now the samurai of the Japanese kingdom no longer wear swords when they go out, and there are fewer people who comb the samurai's hair in a bun.

This kind of transformation is not easy, and it is not easy for them to give up the martial spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Countries like the Wa Kingdom, as well as countries like North Korea, Cochin, Burma, or India, we must slowly eliminate their martial spirit.

It starts with destroying their history, and destroys their culture step by step.

This kind of thing is already being done, and now the most popular thing in the country of Korea is to speak the Ming language and wear Ming clothes.

Even the Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival of the Ming Dynasty have also become their main festivals.

Just destroy their culture and emasculate their martial spirit. In the future, our children and grandchildren will be able to live comfortably.

To use an analogy, if there is a tiger in the forest, there can be no more wolves, otherwise there will not be enough animals in the forest to eat. ”

"But you're still forming Indian divisions one after another! In the Middle East, in Europe, in Egypt and Africa, you already have ten Indian divisions. ”

Ao Ye was a little curious, since the Indians could form a division, why couldn't the Japanese people. He really wanted to get a Japanese division and put it on the battlefield.

"India is different, you know that there are many ethnic groups in Indians.

These people are not of different cultures, and the Sikhs and the Gurkha are completely different things. They each have their own language and script, and their living customs are also different.

So, we can break India apart into dozens of countries.

But the country can't do it!

Although there was a division during the Warring States Period, it was still a nation in general.

It is difficult to divide such a country against them.

So, we can only enslave and dwarf them. Kill their culture and make them conform to our customs.

In this way, they can rule for a long time. For a country like the Wa Kingdom, we have to work with a spirit of 12 points.

Don't forget, just a hundred years ago. It's these people who forced out a Qi Dashuai in Daming!

From a country where the whole people are martial arts and can fight with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Qi Family Army in King Kong Mountain, no one is wearing a sword on the street now, and this change is not easy.

If you do well, don't stir their martial nerves anymore. Let them release their energy on sake and women's bellies until they die! ”

"You kid, this trick is really vicious. Then I'll make a North Korean group, North Korea has always been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and the surrender to the Ming Dynasty can be revealed. "This time, Ao Ye is determined to get a foreign army.

"Ao Ye, it's not impossible to form a North Korean regiment. But I kindly remind you that those North Korean soldiers are really pulled to Russia, and don't be angry when the time comes. ”

"That's what the North Korean soldiers are?"

"That's not all! You have also fought in North Korea, and you know better than me what their combat effectiveness is. ”

"Forget it then!" Ao Ye fought in North Korea and knows the urine nature of North Koreans. These people, bragging about a top guy, really fight. There are not a few people who throw away the gun and turn their heads and run!

This kind of person will definitely not have the same record as the Mongol regiment when he fights ...... the Germans.

"If you must use it, I suggest you go to Guangxi to recruit troops. The wolf soldiers in Guangxi are more powerful, and the white pole soldiers we saw on the side of the Hunhe River back then, you have also seen this.

These soldiers are all good.

It's just that one thing is not good, the Guangxi soldiers are all southerners, and they are not very adapted to the Russian climate.

If I really want to train them into troops, I would like to deploy them in the Mediterranean. Li Xiao said as he smoked his cigar.

"No matter! I went to Guangxi to recruit soldiers. Thinking of the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers back then, Ao Ye immediately wanted to go to Guangxi to recruit soldiers.

Forming a regiment is not a big deal. The matter of the Guangxi regiment was negotiated between the two elders.

"In fact, this war is sometimes similar to gambling. I heard that a few days ago you went to the casino of Lao Wu and lost tens of thousands of silver dollars in a row. The last time I pressed down more than two million silver dollars!

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost more than two million? Ao Ye suddenly brought the topic to the time in the old five casino.

"Hah! If you lose 2 million bets, then bet 20 million, and if you lose 20 million bets, I will bet 200 million.

If you lose 200 million bets, it's a big deal to bet 200 million, and if you lose 200 million bets, I can bet 20 billion.

The entire Ming Empire is the foundation for me, I'm afraid of a bird. Li Xiao smiled contemptuously.

"What if we lose in the end?" Ao Ye was a little strange, he didn't understand why Li Xiao gambled like this.

"That's nothing, then I'll find the fifth child. Let's just say the fifth child, look at me and lose all the Daming to you.

In the future, you will live in this marshal's mansion, and I will move out and build a thatched hut to live in.

Do you think the fifth dare to take over the Ming Dynasty? Li Xiao looked at Ao Ye with an evil smile.

"Huh! His hands trembled for a while, and he scared you to death with a scoop on your head. Let him take over the Ming Dynasty?

I'm afraid that if your words reach his house, he will be so frightened that he will kill himself at home overnight. Ao Ye thought about it, shook his head and smiled.

It's no wonder that Li Xiao would gamble like this, the entire Daming Dynasty is the bottom, and every time it is blocked, it is ten times that of the last time.

No matter how many times you win, he only needs to win once, and he will be able to strip you of your money.

This gambling method is really impossible to lose.

As for letting the fifth child settle in the Marshal's Mansion, it's a joke.

He really dared to agree, and promised that immediately the whole family would not even be able to survive a single cockroach.

"The three-year war brought down France, England, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Hungary was divided into Hungary and Moldova, and Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia were all shattered.

Many of the purposes of war, in fact, have been achieved.

Because of this war, our national strength has also been greatly depleted. Although we have not been fully mobilized, many projects in the country have been stopped.

There are also many factories that have had to switch from civilian supplies to the production of military supplies.

There is a lot of output value every month, but these are all spent by the imperial court. In the past few years, Europe's foreign trade has collapsed.

Customs tariffs have been declining year after year, and we have sent two million young and strong laborers to the north to fight the war.

This has caused problems for the workforce in many places!

These are all problems that Daming needs to solve.

Hold your time! After a year and a half, the existing projects are over. The policy of using land to support the yamen was also implemented.

Let's move on to the next phase of the war!

In fact, the European competition, just like you said, is a big gamble.

In the beginning, there were Bismarck, Frederick, Napoleon, the Emperor, the Pope, and the Emperor of Spain.

But now, only Daming and Deutsch are left on the table.

In other words, as long as we kick the Germans off the table, the world is ours.

We can afford to bet now, but the Germans can't afford to take it.

They were busy quelling the French resistance, the British resistance, the Austrian resistance.

And also to deal with the endless stream of partisans in Poland!

Our intelligence showed that every day the Germans faced losses of more than two hundred men.

In other words, about 100,000 people will be lost in a year.

This is not only the loss of manpower, not to mention the loss of property.

The other day, it was in the busiest department store in Berlin. A French prostitute actually hid a bag of explosives and detonated it in the middle of the crowd.

More than a dozen were killed in one blow-up, and more than 20 were injured.

These days, Berlin is full of panic.

You say such an attack, how can they prevent it? This is all the same in Berlin, not to mention the occupying forces.

I have heard that the French underground resistance has developed a series of plans for attacks.

The same was true of the Austrians, who even planned to blow up the Frankfurt building. Li Xiao took a puff of his cigar and gently puffed out a puff of smoke.

In fact, these things are all supported by Daming.

Even the high explosives they used were provided by the Ming Dynasty.

Among the targets to be attacked are factories, hospitals, and even civilian facilities such as schools.

The aim is to cause panic in Germany!

Then there is the continuous destruction of German factories, which can cause German factories to reduce production or even stop production.

In that way, the already cheap Daming goods became the only source of supplies for the German theater and the German residents.

There are some things that can be bought or not, but cloth, food, these necessities of life, that must be the world of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, the impact of Daming's cheap cotton cloth on the German market was simply catastrophic.

The price is cheap and sufficient, no matter how much you want, as long as you eat, it will always be available.

Under the impact of the Ming Dynasty, many factories in Germany that had just reached the point of collapse were all in the predicament of closure.

A large number of German industrial workers could only receive wages that barely reached the mouth of the lake, and in this way they were still in a precarious situation.

If it were not for the continuous exploitation of the resources of the occupied territories and the filling of the holes in Germany, I am afraid that Germany would have collapsed long ago.

The wool in the occupied areas was not so easy to harvest, and heavy taxes were an important reason for the rise and fall of the resistance.

This is a vicious circle, and if you want to stabilize the country, you need to gather wool from the occupied areas.

Picking up the wool in the occupied areas will provoke the local people to revolt.

If the local people resist, they have to increase their strength to garrison and resist the bomb pressure.

To increase the strength and pressure, more people from the country will have to be recruited into the army.

The more people in the country join the army, the more military spending will be. The more military spending, the heavier the burden on the state and the more difficult it is for economic development.

The more difficult the economic development, the more dependent it is on plundering from the occupied territories.

After a set of cycles, Germany has entered a vicious circle.

If you want to get out of this cycle, you need great wisdom to do it, and I don't know if that head of state has such a ability.

Li Xiao doesn't need to be overly aggressive now, Daming only needs to accumulate strength first, and then watch Germany weaken in a vicious circle.

As soon as Germany became weak, the whole good-looking house would collapse with a slight push on the house.

This is much better and at a much lower cost than a direct attack on Germany with a hard bridge.

Ao Ye left in a hurry, and he should have found someone to discuss the formation of the Guangxi regiment.

If the Guangxi regiment behaves well, it is likely that next time he will ask Li Xiao to form a Guangxi division.

Although the war is over, the Ming Dynasty is still preparing for war. Whether it is the increasing Ming fleet in the Atlantic, or the increasing Ming garrison in the Mediterranean.

It's just that on the domestic side, conscription has begun to slow down. Some disabled soldiers, as well as soldiers who were unwilling to continue fighting and wanted to leave the army, were also withdrawn from Europe and returned home.

After being stationed in the country for a period of time and staying up to the length of service, what awaits them is discharge.

The Ming army will not force those who are unwilling to continue to fight in the ranks, and in most cases, as long as you reach the length of service and you are willing to retire, the army will pay you to send you home.

The place to go home was also good, and the officers entered the yamen of all levels and localities. Soldiers generally enter the factory, and even soldiers in the countryside are taken care of by the local community.

Besides, after three years of fighting, the military salaries on the battlefield are relatively generous. And there is no place to spend money, everyone basically has savings.

As long as you don't mess around by yourself, you will be a small rich family when you return to your hometown.

At least, there is nothing wrong with building a few large tiled houses.
