Rhodes is a small island with a medieval castle on it.

Li Xiao visited the medieval armor in the castle!

The rough steel armor gleams like silver, and you can even see your own reflection when you get closer.

There are some pairs of armor that look pretty good, but if you get closer, you can see the marks of cuts and axes on them.

There was also a pair of armor with a big hole as thick as an arm on the chest. Li Xiao estimated that the owner of the armor should have died happily.

Li Xiao went through the hole and felt the thickness. It was a little more than one millimeter and less than two millimeters.

The breastplate is the thickest, only two to three millimeters thick.

I don’t know how Europeans in the Middle Ages made steel plates like this.

It is said that chain armor is also worn inside this kind of plate armor.

God, if we include weapons, this person's load would probably be sixty or seventy kilograms.

Including people, it weighs more than 200 kilograms.

What kind of horse can withstand such a torment!

No wonder it is said that European heavily armored knights could not defeat the Mongols.

The Mongols' fighting style could tire out European cavalry horses.

European weapons are very interesting. In addition to the knight's sword, the main weapon is the spear with a guard.

The spear is very interesting. One section is made of very fragile wood.

As long as the spear hits someone, the wood will break.

The knight would immediately abandon the spear and pick up other weapons to continue fighting.

They are all guys wearing strong armor, and swords don't seem to have much effect.

Therefore, blunt weapons became the first choice of knights' weapons, such as the meteor hammer with iron spikes.

Shu was wearing iron hoops and a huge mace.

The most surprising thing is that there is something very similar to a claw hammer.

It's just a few sizes bigger than a claw hammer!

This reminded Li Xiao of the time when he was fighting the Eight Banners soldiers on the Hun River. The Qin soldiers from Guangxi had guys with sledgehammers.

As soon as the Eight Banners soldiers fell off their horses, they would pick up the hammer and hit them on the head without saying a word.

Generally speaking, if you knock the person once, he will twitch, but if you knock twice, the person will die or be unable to take care of himself.

This thin iron sheet, which is a few millimeters thick, cannot withstand the power of a sledgehammer after all.

Just like the castle on Rhodes Island is very strong and the terrain is very dangerous.

But in front of the battleship's giant cannon, he was like a scumbag.

With one shot, most of the extremely strong city wall will collapse immediately.

Apart from medieval armors and weapons, there isn’t much to see in Rhodes Island, it’s too small!

"That's it!" Li Xiao lost interest and decided to return to the Yanshan and continue to Crete.

"Hundreds of years ago, it was actually very rare to be able to refine such good steel and have such exquisite craftsmanship."

The person who spoke yesterday was Zuo Liangyu, the young staff officer who spoke uprightly.

This guy's name is Yue Zhongqi, and according to him, he is a descendant of Yue Fei.

Li Xiao doesn't really believe in this kind of thing anyway.

There is no DNA testing these days, so of course you can say whatever you want.

Just like my surname is Li, if I insist on saying that I am a descendant of Li Shimin, there seems to be sufficient theoretical basis.

There were many such pretenders in history, and Li Xiao once highly doubted Liu Bei's bloodline.

Liu Bei claims to be the descendant of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan!

Few people know that Liu Sheng is not a very good prince, but he has a special ability - giving birth to sons.

The old gentleman gave birth to more than a hundred sons in his life.

As for how many daughters there are, that is simply an eternal mystery.

Anyway, the name Planter is not a waste at all on his head.

It can be said that one person created a nation!

It took almost four hundred years from Liu Sheng to Liu Bei.

During these four hundred years, Liu Sheng's descendants...!

I'm afraid there are not even 100,000 but 80,000!

It can be seen that many people at home and abroad have done this in ancient and modern times. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang once tried to draw his bloodline to Zhu Xi.

pity!

The gap was too big, and in the end the possession was not successful.

Li Xiao was moved by Yue Zhongqi's righteous speech yesterday.

In these days, not many lieutenant staff officers would dare to talk to me like this.

The only one who dared to stand up and argue with himself and poke Li Xiu's scars...

Li Xiao transferred Yue Zhongqi to his side, and this guy suddenly became the Marshal's confidential adviser.

“The iron ore in Europe, especially in Northern Europe, is indeed purer than that of our ancestors.

Our ancestors have four great inventions. In fact, the smelting technology of Europeans, especially the smelting technology of Nordic people, has always been good.

It’s not surprising at all that something like this can be created.”

Li Lin had a fairly good understanding of European history because he studied with Tang Ruowang for a period of time.

"In fact, during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the protective power of our Mingguang Armor was definitely not inferior to this thing.

There is also the Bu Renjia of the Song Dynasty, which is similar to this thing.

It's just that the things we make are more sophisticated.

If you look at the plate armor on their chests, it looks very thick, but in fact it is not very strong in resisting arrows or blunt force blows.

The Mingguang Armor has a breast shield, which is polished extremely smooth and is a convex semicircle.

If the arrow hits it, it will be easily bounced away.

Just like our No. 4 tank, the turret is round and the shells will be bounced away when hit.

Speaking of which, the wisdom of our Chinese ancestors is still better than theirs."

Because of this, Li Xiao was very interested in all kinds of armor.

A large number of armors are stored in the Wuying Hall of the imperial palace.

They are all flatterers from all over the place, sent here to please the commander-in-chief.

"We are better than them now, tanks, planes, artillery, they don't have these things at all.

Now, they rely solely on their numerical advantage to compete with us.

Once all the coalition forces on the Russian front are killed, the Europeans will be finished."

The one who spoke was Zhao Liangdong. This guy was a rough guy, but he often got to the point when he spoke.

This is why Li Xiao likes his niece-in-law very much!

"Europeans will have these things sooner or later.

If we want to reach a higher level, we must always be one step ahead of others.

As time goes by, our generation will slowly grow older.

Whether you can lead the descendants of China to live a good life depends on your generation."

Li Xiao was a little emotional!

I looked in the mirror this morning and was surprised to find that there were gray hairs on my temples.

Time makes people grow old, and in the blink of an eye, I already have four.

Seeing Li Xiao looking a little lonely, the people around him didn't dare to speak anymore.

They all followed Li Xiao as he strolled toward the pier!

As soon as I reached the pier, I saw the confidential secretary coming over with a telegram.

"Commander!" He stood at attention, saluted, and then handed over the telegram folder.

Li Xiao took a look and said coldly: "No need, I'm going to Crete right now."

No one knew who the telegram was from or what its content was. They just saw that the commander's face became increasingly ugly.

We boarded the Yanshan again along the gangway and set sail straight to Crete.

Crete is actually very close to Rhodes, with a straight-line distance of only 300 kilometers.

Taking an airship is obviously faster, but no one dares to let the commander take the airship.

If something happens on the road, it will be a big accident.

While still on the way, Li Xiu arrived.

The huge airship landed on the rear deck of the Yanshan!
