"Hello, Marshal Kutuzov." Li Xiao warmly held Kutuzov's hand.

The old guy is now the regent of Russia, truly one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Considering that the little emperor Paul was only ten years old, Kutuzov had the final say in all military, political and civil affairs.

The old guy is now considered the uncrowned king of Russia.

This kind of character still deserves Li Xiao's warm reception.

"Hey...! It's very bad. Two teeth are missing here. My knees hurt terribly when I walk."

Kutuzov joked with Li Xiao and patted Li Xiao's hand in a friendly manner.

"Looking at your old body, your bones are still quite strong!"

"This man is getting old, and he starts to age from his legs first. He knows his own body, so don't give me any comfort."

With the support of Li Xiao, Kutuzov walked into the Ming Palace.

In order to take care of the elderly, receptions are held in the conference room on the first floor.

In the large conference room, Kutuzov sat on the sofa. Li Xiao did not sit opposite him as usual, but sat beside Kutuzov.

Such a seat makes two people appear much closer.

"I understand, we are seriously short of troops now.

The Prussians can attack Moscow at any time!"

"It's not that serious. We don't have enough troops. But there have been internal changes in Prussia recently, and they can't come up with any decent military action for a while.

We are preparing to attack France's arrogance on the southern front."

"hehe!

The French are actually easy to deal with, Napoleon only has a few tricks.

After the artillery bombardment, the infantry charges, and after the infantry charges, the cavalry charges.

His mind was still stuck at twenty years ago.

But you are different, your mind is set twenty years later.

He won't get much benefit from meeting you.

The so-called military god is just that."

Kutuzov had defeated Napoleon in Moscow, so he had no interest in Napoleon at all.

He was the first marshal in Europe to defeat Napoleon, and he was proud of this.

"That's true, but now the French are not easy to deal with either.

Among the coalition forces, only the Prussians could match their combat effectiveness.

The rest of the Israelis and the British are one level worse than them."

"Um!

I agree with this, France is also a nation that is good at fighting.

There was a time when they almost conquered all of Europe.

I came here this time just to increase your supply of troops."

Kutuzov smiled and said to Li Xiao.

"Increase...the source of troops?" Li Xiao suspected that he heard wrongly.

After years of war, the Russian army's current military resources are almost exhausted.

Behind are a large number of old people, women, and children.

There are even eight or nine-year-old children working in factories, and there are also elderly people still working in the fields.

With such a group of people, it is naturally impossible for production efficiency to increase, nor for a bumper agricultural harvest.

Therefore, the Russian army was appallingly miserable in terms of materials and supplies.

When food was most scarce, they once ate black bread mixed with sawdust.

At that time, the biggest enemy of the Russian army was not the coalition forces but hunger.

If the Ming army had not taken action, the Russian army would have starved to death. The front line had long been on the verge of collapse.

At this time, where can Russia find its sources of troops?

"Don't think I'm joking, I'm serious."

Li Xiao's expression for a moment was still captured by Kutuzov.

"Okay!" Li Xiao nodded helplessly. He wanted to know where Kutuzov got his troops.

"The leader of the Cossacks, Grigory, came to me. He wanted his Cossacks to be armed for battle."

"Cossack?" Li Xiao repeated this thunderous name in surprise.

Attack like thunder, sword like lightning.

This is the description of the Cossack cavalry. These people wore weird clothes with big shoulders and held sharp sabers in their hands. They galloped across the vast Don River grassland and looked at everyone.

But the problem is that the shape of war has changed dramatically.

Not to mention the Chinese army, even the coalition forces have at least two to three light machine guns and one heavy machine gun in each company.

These are still poorly equipped Austro-Hungarian troops, or they are Italians.

The equipment of the French and Prussians is much more luxurious than this!

Cossack cavalry charge...!

It is estimated that in the end, you will only see dead people and dead horses everywhere, and nothing else.

Machine guns are naturally the nemesis of cavalry.

Needless to say, artillery pieces of various calibers have ravaged the battlefield.

Even if the Kazakh cavalry were really as fast as lightning, they would not be able to escape the baptism of shell shrapnel.

Li Xiao does not believe that there is still room for the Cossacks to play on the modern battlefield.

The Mongols sent a cavalry battalion, but Li Xiao still pinched his nose and was too embarrassed to retreat.

The cavalry can only have one function now, and that is to be used as a reconnaissance unit. After all, they can still run faster than the infantry.

Of course, Li Xiao prefers to use aircraft for reconnaissance.

"The Cossacks come and go like the wind. When fighting in the daytime, they will be sieved by barbed wire and machine guns.

I also know that their time has passed.

But there is another place that I think is very suitable for them.”

"where?"

"The mountainous areas of northern Iraq, places like Mosul and Deir ez-Zor." Kutuzov said, looking into Li Xiao's eyes.

Li Xiao blinked, not to mention, the places the old guy mentioned are really suitable for cavalry sports.

However, there was one problem that Li Xiao couldn't let go of.

That is, the Cossacks should be under Russian rule. Why would Kutuzov be so kind and push the troops to his side?

"I know you are doubting my motives for doing this.

To tell you the truth, the Cossacks have always wanted to establish an independent country.

But you also know that although Russia’s territory is large, it doesn’t have an extra inch, so it’s impossible to agree to their establishment of the country.

Gregory said that if we do not agree to their establishment of a country, they will defect to the coalition forces."

"He dares to threaten you?" Li Xiao found it funny that a small Kazakh leader actually dared to threaten Kutuzov.

An old tiger is still a tiger. Don't think that it can't eat people.

"yes!

Moreover, this threat was very effective.

After much thought, I felt that rather than letting them defect to the coalition forces or annihilating them, we would be wasting our energy and materials.

so……!"

"So you have this idea, let them go to the place where the Kurds live and fight to the death with the Kurds."

"right!

First of all, the Kurds are also our enemies!

Secondly, after the Cossacks defeat the Kurds, they can establish a country on the current land of the Kurds.

In this way, you can quickly solve the problems in the Middle East.

We don't have to give up our land, let alone mobilize the army to annihilate them.
