Indeed, this war will last for a long time.

There were not many Ming troops attacking Corsica. After occupying Tavignano, about 8,000 Ming troops had no intention of marching on the entire island.

They just stayed in the city of Tavignano, constantly driving out the residents of the city, and using the broken bricks and tiles from the city to strengthen the fortifications and trenches.

The French Foreign Legion tentatively launched two attacks, but both were repelled by Ming artillery fire.

There is no way, the Ming Navy is too powerful. Within fifty kilometers of the coast, everything is covered by their artillery fire.

The giant 480mm artillery on the battleship, under the command of the school-firing aircraft, can easily destroy the French artillery positions.

Without artillery fire, it would be too difficult to capture the Ming army's positions!

"The Ming Navy blockaded the island of Corsica, trying to trap the troops on the island. This month, all the ships we sent out were sunk without exception."

Murat shook his head helplessly. The navy couldn't get through, and neither could the airship.

The soldiers and civilians on Corsica had no choice but to wait to starve to death.

"How long can I hold on?" Napoleon shook his head helplessly.

He was mentally prepared for what would happen to Corsica.

Therefore, only the French Overseas Corps is stationed there.

When it comes to the history of overseas corps, Napoleon is still the founder.

As early as during the expedition to Egypt, Napoleon recruited many local people to serve the French army.

Later, in some battles, these locals took up arms and fought alongside the French army.

Napoleon saw them fighting bravely and incorporated them into the French army.

But due to religious issues, comrades fighting side by side cannot urinate into a pot.

Napoleon had no choice but Joseph finally gave his brother an idea.

These Egyptians were organized into a separate army, and the main officers of the army were all French.

In this way, France can obtain an army with good combat effectiveness without having to recruit troops at home.

The mercenaries of the Foreign Legion actually knew that they were just cannon fodder pushed out by the French.

But for the high salary and five years of service, you can obtain French citizenship and become a French citizen and live in France.

The Foreign Legion also had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!

In fact, people all over the world, including Europeans, want to live in the Ming Dynasty.

But Ming Dynasty was very unique in this regard, Africans, Indians, and Europeans.

If you appear privately in the South China Sea, if you are caught, your head will be chopped off.

The Ming Dynasty rejected all outsiders, and all trade could only be completed in Singapore. Foreigners were not allowed to cross the South China Sea, or even live in any of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Once discovered, be executed immediately!

The high-pressure policy has even forced some people to take the risk of crossing the Himalayas from India.

Unfortunately, not everyone can easily climb over this tall snow-capped mountain.

Even a near-death experience is not enough to describe the dangers there. If I had to use one word, "no return" would be very appropriate.

Africans and Middle Easterners who have lost hope, their only idea is to go to richer Europe.

Unfortunately, the French don't like them either.

These people can only sneak across and have no chance of obtaining French citizenship.

Now that I have the opportunity, I won't hesitate to risk my life.

The Foreign Legion has always been famous for its bravery and fighting style.

"Before the blockade, the food we sent was enough to feed the army for eight months to a year.

But, if everyone in Corsica eats it together...

As you know, the food production in our hometown is indeed limited. Therefore, the residents do not have much food storage."

"Well, at least they won't surrender for a few months.

The last time I went to the UK to talk to Rothschild about Israel's participation in the war, he talked about establishing a European Union to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he managed to get things done in just over a month." Napoleon was a little surprised that all the countries agreed to the European Union.

After all, there are dozens of countries, large and small, in Europe.

"The Hebrews had contacts with the monarchs of various countries. The banks of the Ming Dynasty robbed their business, so of course they would oppose the Ming Dynasty.

This time, all the Hebrews mobilized together and generated great energy.

To be honest, I was shocked by this power.

They actually have such great influence in Europe.

However, the Holy See has also made a lot of contributions here. You don’t know that the Holy See was so popular some time ago.

Three waves came to Paris!"

"Haha! They are all taking advantage of the war to expand their influence.

The Holy See has an influence on the people, but it does not actually help much in the war.

War loans are the driving force to support the continuation of the war!

Now that there is no Ming Bank, we have to rely on the Hebrews to borrow money for the war. Who dares to offend them?"

Napoleon shook his head helplessly. War is a bottomless pit, and money is just money.

Without the war loans from the Hebrews, France would not have been able to survive for a few days.

"When it comes to Daming Bank, we are at a bit of a disadvantage.

Many European countries have stated that the two sides are at war and that Ming Dynasty's loans will not be repaid.

The people of Ming Dynasty were so angry that they jumped up and down, but there was nothing they could do.

hehe!"

Murat's heart blossomed with joy as he thought of the bitter melon-like expression on the manager of Da Ming Bank.

"If you don't say anything about Ming Dynasty's money, you won't say anything about it." Napoleon was very happy when he heard that Ming Dynasty was in trouble.

"The EU will set up a committee, and each country will take turns to hold the rotating presidency.

Then allocate the seats in the European Parliament according to the national strength of each country...!" Murat told Napoleon about the European Parliament.

“Our first rotating presidency?

Well, our first proposal is to integrate the navies of various European countries to form a European navy to fight against the Ming Navy.

We must take back control of the Mediterranean Sea!

Otherwise, our southern coast cannot be defended.

We can't trust the Italians. Maybe Italy, which is at the opposite ends of the world, is making peace with the Ming Dynasty in private.

Didn’t Sicily surrender without a fight?”

"I'm afraid that even if we concentrate all the navies in Europe, we won't be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty fleet.

They have aircraft carriers and can launch attacks from a distance of 150 kilometers.

And our warships only have naval guns."

"It doesn't matter. After confirming the position of the Ming fleet, we can launch an attack at night.

The Ming Navy's aircraft carriers are powerful, but at night it's a different story.

The only difficulty now is how to get close to the Ming Navy."

"Let the navy generals worry about this kind of thing. You, who only know cavalry, don't understand naval warfare at all.

I was thinking about how to integrate European power.

If you weren't on the front line, you wouldn't know it. The situation on the front line is extremely chaotic. The armies of various countries lack unity and often act independently.

The armies of various countries have different languages, different combat habits, and uneven equipment and combat capabilities.

In addition, our communication was not smooth, and it was really a mess.

Although there are many people in front, there are very few who can fight.

The Dutch, for example, sent a total of 20,000 troops. We also had to provide equipment and supplies. The Dutch and Belgians had pretty good combat capabilities, so we gave them as they were given.

But countries like Luxembourg, Ireland, and Monaco are not good at fighting, but they are constantly causing trouble.

He needs food and pay all day long, but he always hides behind when fighting.

I'm thinking of asking these countries to withdraw their troops.

Only a few of our big countries are supporting the front line, and the remaining small countries provide us with supplies such as money, food, materials, etc.

Just like the Czech army, they are not very good at fighting.

However, the Czechs have many steel mills, and the ammunition they produce is of very good quality, with few defective products.

Even better than ours!

Since Europe is integrated, those with money will contribute with money and strength.

This will also ease our domestic economic pressure.

I think that Western European countries are far away from the battlefield. They mainly provide food and meat and poultry. Countries that are far away from the battlefield can provide firearms, ammunition and other weapons and equipment.

What do you think?"

"Well! I think it's good. You can also learn from Ming Dynasty to make cans.
Chapter completed!
