Chapter 283

Popular recommendations:

The Ming army expressed its determination with fierce artillery fire.

The British army suffered a blow and finally understood that all they could do was surrender unconditionally.

On February 21, John Douglas led the garrison of Gibraltar and formally signed the instrument of surrender.

After days of hard fighting, the remnants of more than 70,000 British troops laid down their weapons and walked out of the deep underground bunkers.

Many people are no longer suitable for sunlight and have to squint when standing in the sun.

The strange thing is that there are not many wounded among the more than 70,000 people. There are only more than 300 people, and more than 100 of the wounded are sick and not injured on the battlefield.

Most of the remaining more than a hundred people had minor injuries. Among them, a broken bone was considered a serious injury.

Cao Wenzhao felt very strange. He didn't understand why this was the case.

"We have no chance of fighting at all. The weapons used by both sides are cannons, and guns actually don't have much effect.

Our soldiers were either killed in the shelling or were deafened and stunned, and will slowly recover.

There are really only a few wounded who can survive after being injured." John Douglas looked at Cao Wenzhao helplessly.

As a side with strong firepower, Ming Dynasty did not understand the pain of the British army at all.

They want to fight hard and have the enthusiasm and determination to sacrifice for the country. But the problem is that as long as they go to the front line, they can only die but cannot fight hard.

Most of the time, the British troops had no chance to fire.

There were even times when the Ming army soldiers faked a charge. Seeing the mighty rows and entire companies charging, the British soldiers rushed out of the trenches one after another, preparing to massacre the Ming army.

But when they rushed out of the trenches, set up their guns and prepared to fight, the Ming army turned around and ran back!

Before the British army could realize what they were doing, an overwhelming barrage of artillery shells rained down on them.

The British troops without bunkers had basically no chance of survival under such intensive artillery fire.

Many British soldiers were even buried alive by the soil lifted up by the shells.

On the day Cao Wenzhao took over Gibraltar, the Ming Navy began large-scale mine clearance.

The Strait of Gibraltar is an important waterway and cannot always be blocked by mines.

After the British mainland learned the news of the fall of Gibraltar, the whole country was angry!

The Sun, The Times and other newspapers criticized John Douglas as a traitor.

Others broke into John Douglas's home, beat his family, and finally set their home on fire.

The person who beat him was not arrested by the police, but the person who was beaten was taken to jail.

Moreover, there is still no trial.

Li Xiao smiled slightly when he heard the news. This is the so-called Western civilization, this is the so-called Western legal system.

Winston once again launched a national mobilization, calling on all Anglo-Saxons to take up arms and prepare for the final decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty.

"The British have begun mobilizing the country!

Should we give them time?" Shi Dewei put down the telegram and looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

Li Xiao, who was in Marrakech, is now on the Atlantic coast.

The water in the Atlantic Ocean seems to be a little bluer than the Pacific Ocean. Of course, this is just a feeling. It is not really bluer than the Pacific Ocean!

There were huge shrimps, crabs as big as millstones, and one-meter-long lobsters on the table.

As for other small seafood, there was a table full of them.

"Give them a month and let the militiamen train properly. It also gives the Germans time to assemble their troops.

In addition, you have to return to Russia tomorrow. Our logistics project needs to be completed properly. The supplies stored in Moscow are now sent to Minsk and Kiev.

The next step is when we have a decisive battle.

As long as Germany is dismembered, Europe will have no rival." Li Xiao smiled and forked a piece of beef.

Bullfighting is popular in Spain, but for some reason, Spanish bulls seem to be larger than Ming Dynasty bulls.

And Spanish beef,

It seems that the meat fiber is not as thick as Daming beef, so the taste is still good.

In order to take care of Li Xiao's hobbies, the King of Spain specially sent more than 100 cows by airship for Li Xiao to eat.

Li Xiao only ate two of them, and sent the rest by ship to the Ming Dynasty to see if he could cultivate a unique beef cattle breed belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty produced so many sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn every year. However, the people of the Ming Dynasty could not eat so much, so they could only make a large amount of grain into feed every year.

But the Ming Dynasty cannot just raise pigs. No matter how good the pork is, it cannot replace the meat of other livestock.

What the Ming Dynasty had to solve was not only military issues, but also biodiversity issues.

This kind of beef with good texture is very good. Li Xiao is looking forward to the day when Ming Dynasty will be able to produce beef with the same quality as beef. Li Xiao still likes the texture that melts in the mouth!

"No! I will definitely do what the commander-in-chief asked me to do. I will use a month to send Moscow's supplies to Minsk and Kiev as much as possible!"

In addition, the airports in Minsk and Kiev are also under intensive construction.

Time was so tight that only two airstrips could be built to take off from Stuka.

If you want to take off and land Kunpeng, you will have to build a stronger and longer runway.

Fortunately, Kunpeng's flight is long enough, which can make up for the shortcomings here to some extent. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com However, the air control time will be greatly shortened.

Master Man and Master Ao are also ready, as long as you give the order, the commander-in-chief, we can reach the city of Berlin!"

"War is not about cooking. You can't wait until you have all the ingredients ready before you start cooking!

However, the airports in Minsk and Kiev still need to be built and more manpower needs to be added.

Anyway, we have many prisoners now, so we should send more prisoners there. Since we can't shorten the time, we will use manpower.

We can't let those prisoners stay in the prison camp and do nothing but eat!"

Li Xiao finally understood why those emperors were so arrogant. When there was a huge project, they could pile up manpower like crazy.

Ten thousand people can't handle one hundred thousand people, and one hundred thousand people can't handle one million. Anyway, we have plenty of people!

There were millions of prisoners in the prison camp.

"No!" Stewie promised.

He also believed that stacking up manpower was a good idea. Although the Ming Dynasty already had construction machinery, stacking up manpower was still the simplest and most effective method.

"Commander, the war in Baghdad is still stalemate. Should we first transfer some troops from Europe to the Middle East?

Middle East oil is so important!”

"Don't worry about the affairs in the Middle East. The Swiss are taking care of it. Although the casualties are a bit higher, it's still high, so it's not a big deal. As long as our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty don't die!"

In a place like Baghdad, we are fighting a security war. Even if we have tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, there is not much we can do.

Let the Swiss do it!
