"It's indeed a bit strange. The Poles seem to be inherently biased against us Ming people. I don't know why?

But as far as I know, their relationship with the Hebrews doesn’t seem to be very good.”

"No! It's just that the relationship between the lower class people and the Hebrews is not good, and they are very disgusted with the Hebrews.

But the upper-class nobles had a good relationship with the Hebrews. There were more than 200,000 Jews in Warsaw.

Most of them are successful businessmen, musicians, teachers, painters, composers, etc. They are all upper class celebrities anyway.

The Polish nobles have many contacts with them, so the relationship is pretty good."

"So that's it!" Li Xiao nodded.

It seems that my views are somewhat arbitrary. The Hebrews value education and control the financial lifeline.

Only ordinary people will dislike them. As for the nobles, how can they dislike them? Who can have trouble with money?

"But it doesn't seem surprising that the Poles would attack Russia. The national hatred between them is very deep. Three Russian Grand Dukes died in the war against Poland.

As for the Polish royal family, many people died in the war with Russia.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two sides had a blood feud.

But this time... it’s a bit strange for them to attack Russia.”

"Oh? What's weird?"

"Everyone knows that Russia is our ally.

And in the past few years, with our help, Russia's national strength has grown greatly.

Judging from the battle situation in Grozny, although the Russians' tactics are reckless and dull, they still have the energy to fight hard.

And the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guard is very powerful!

While guarding the Crozier Pass, one company held on to more than 800 people. By the end of the battle, only five people were left in the company.

Three of them were seriously injured!

But in the end no one was allowed to cross the mountain pass, thus ensuring the complete annihilation of the Chechens.

The fighting spirit of this group is stronger than many troops of our Liao Army."

"Yes! After all, our army is used to fighting smooth battles. We don't fight many hard battles and hard battles!

This guy is really not as fierce as them." Li Xiao blew out a puff of smoke.

In fact, he did not give the troops a chance to fight hard.

The Liao army fought first with artillery, and no matter what, they hit it with a barrage of artillery shells. Coupled with the air superiority of airships, they could completely crush low-level opponents.

To use a fashionable saying in later generations, this is a dimensionality reduction attack.

With the absolute advantage of science and technology, even if we want to fight such a tough battle, we will not be able to win a tough battle.

"Our Liao Army has the advantage of the Liao Army. Things cannot be said like that, for example...!"

"I know more about this matter than you do. What I want to ask you is whether Poland has united with other countries, or whether other countries are supporting it behind the scenes."

"Oh! The Poles and the French get along better, and the Polish royal family even married Napoleon's sister Eliza.

If there is anyone who is supporting the Poles behind their backs, it must be the French. And..., the French seem to have developed well in recent years.

They can now produce machine guns, howitzers, airships, and even warships.

However, they have not yet been able to manufacture a diesel engine that can be mass-produced. Therefore, the warships they build are still warships with coal-fired boilers.

Moreover, their airships also use diesel engines re-exported from Spain.

Every year, they re-export a lot of diesel from Italy."

"Haha! Who made Napoleon fall out with us? Of course, good things can only be obtained by borrowing others.

The French...! Haha, they support the Poles in causing trouble for Russia.

Will Prussia participate?"

"Yes! But there will only be limited participation, and absolutely no blatant participation.

It is estimated that domestic railway transportation will only be opened, and some weapons may be sold, that's all.

However, the weapons made by the Prussians were better than those made by the French.

I have been to factories in Prussia, and the workers do have a craftsmanship spirit. And their understanding of machinery seems to be much better than our workers.

To be honest, the Prussians' naturally rigid character is really suitable for the Prussians.

Fortunately, we still maintain diplomatic relations with Prussia.

Moreover, although Prussia had an ambiguous relationship with the Hebrews, it seemed that they did not completely trust it. Bismarck was a fence-sitting kind of person who wanted to benefit from both sides.

Frederick now handed over all state affairs to Bismarck, who spent all day working with old Mao Qini on military reforms.

I visited it and saw that the number of roads is almost the same as that in Ming Dynasty.

It is to set up a special military academy, and the officers of the army must be graduates of the military academy.

At the same time, the army trains non-commissioned officers on a large scale.

As for equipment and tactics, the mentality of trench warfare is still the same.

However, they built very large airships to supply troops within fifty kilometers of the front line.

Like us, they have established a policy prohibiting airships from approaching fifty kilometers from the front line."

“I really miss the days when there were no anti-aircraft guns, and airships were the kings of the sky.

Now! Hey, it’s the target.

But fortunately, our Ming Dynasty has airplanes. Anti-aircraft guns are still a bit weak against airplanes."

"I've never seen an airplane before. I think what the teacher made is pretty good."

"You are no longer honest. After two years in the UK, you have become glib.

Napoleon is now fighting fiercely with the Hebrews, and since the Poles are supported by the French, then...!

This matter is probably related to the French, but...why do they want to attack Russia? What is their purpose?"

Li Xiao fell into deep thought!

Although Zheng Sen has just returned from Europe, he can't be said to be ugly.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

Shunzi walked in, holding a telegram in her hand.

Li Xiao glanced at the telegram and immediately frowned again.

"What's wrong? Teacher!"

"Look, the Kurds are making trouble again for some reason. This time it's very loud!

They captured Baghdad all the way and wanted to declare the establishment of Kurdistan in Baghdad.

These are all small things, except that they have united with the Kurds in the Ottoman Empire.

Now we have to carve out a huge piece of territory from the Ottoman Empire!

The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire quit, but the troops he sent out to fight them actually failed to win!"

"The Ottoman Empire's army is really scummy in terms of combat effectiveness.

They couldn't even defeat the Romanians, and were even worse than the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

However, it was quite surprising that he couldn't beat the Kurdish students.

As far as the students know, the Kurds don’t even have a few decent guns.”

"This is a telegram from our Marine Corps Intelligence Group. The Kurds have a large number of standard firearms.

There are even mortars, rocket launchers, howitzers, cannons and more!

Yeah! And machine guns, Maxim!

The same ones used by the Israelites!”

"You mean... the Kurds backed by Israel?"

"Yes! They are behind it, otherwise the Kurds would not have such courage.

Originally, I wouldn't have cared if the Ottoman Empire was a little smaller.

However, the Kurds have gone all the way south. Now they occupy Baghdad, and it seems that they are still developing towards Basra.

This is not possible!

Our oil fields are all there!

If we continue to fight, our oil fields will be destroyed."

"That's absolutely not possible!" Zheng Sen jumped up. He knew very well the importance of the oil field to Ming Dynasty.
To be continued...
