"Are you sure you have killed the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery group?" Li Xiao looked at the map and asked Shi Dewei beside him.

"Haha! A rocket launcher group pulled up, and the whole group's firepower was poured on the anti-aircraft artillery group.

What I want is that I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.

Yesterday, during the day, our planes were never attacked by large-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

It's a pity that the number of fighter planes was too small and they were unable to effectively attack the enemy!

Should we send an airship up?"

"Planes can do that, but airships can't.

The large-caliber anti-aircraft guns are gone, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are gone.

In order for the 25mm rapid-fire cannon on the airship to exert its power, it must lower its altitude.

If we lower the altitude, the enemy's rapid-fire cannons can also hit our airship.

At the speed of an airship, it's not always accurate.

Let’s keep these airships for transportation!”

Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, Stuka had tinkered with it.

However, there is still a gap in engine output power, and the reliability of the engine is not high.

Specifically reflected in the bomb load and range, six aircraft have crashed on the Northern Front due to malfunctions alone without enemy attacks.

This is what we achieved in just three months!

There is no way, the airplane is the result of Li Xiao's overthrow. After all, there are still problems with technical support and reliability!

Just like the current Stuka, the problem of starting in cold weather has not been solved.

Due to various reasons, Stuka's attendance rate is not high.

Coupled with the limitations of bomb load and range, the damage to the French army was not as great as imagined.

What left Li Xiao even more speechless was that the Stuka's diving bomb hit rate was really not high.

The pontoon bridge was blown up three times yesterday, but every time the Norwegians were able to rebuild it within an hour.

There are many woods on both sides of the Volga River, so it is very convenient to obtain local materials.

"Master Man still needs more than thirty hours to arrive.

The troops currently fighting in the Svetoyar Marsh are only one regiment of the 9th Division.

If the French army breaks through this line of defense, there will be a logistics supply point behind them.

There is a lot of ammunition, weapons, and various supplies there."

"Transfer another regiment of the Jiujiu Division and tell Mr. Man that there is no need to rush. Tired soldiers and equipment will have a greatly reduced combat effectiveness when they arrive on the battlefield.

Let the Jiujiu Division take over for two days!"

"How can this happen? Commander, this regiment is the last barrier around you. It ensures that you can escape smoothly at the critical moment."

Stewie said anxiously!

“It’s already this time, how can we talk about escaping unscathed.

Go ahead, two regiments versus three divisions. There are no natural dangers in the defensive area, so this battle will be difficult enough."

Although Li Xiao spoke softly, he was very calm.

"Commander...!"

"Execute the order!"

"promise!"

Shi Dewei had no choice but to carry out Li Xiao's order.

He turned around and ordered his staff to mobilize the troops.

Li Xiao glanced at the night sky outside and could hear a muffled thunder-like sound coming from the distance.

The position in the Svet Loyal Swamp must be defended.

Otherwise, after the French army obtained the supplies from the Ming Dynasty, they would have penetrated behind the Ming army in the Tsaritsyn battle!

At that time, even if Mr. Man arrived, he might not be able to save the situation.

There is no way, the Christian Alliance's military advantage is simply too great.

Li Xiao was nervously commanding the battle in Tsaritsyn. Thousands of kilometers away on the island of Crete, Li Xiu was watching the Marines board the ship.

"Second Master! Isn't it too hasty for us to send troops now?" Chen Laohu hesitated.

The target this time is Sicily, but not all the marines transferred by Zuo Liangyu have arrived yet.

There was only one division, which seemed a little too small for the huge island of Sicily.

After all, the Italians are also a country with millions of troops. Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, it is still a bit too disrespectful to attack Sicily with more than 9,000 people.

"There is no other way! Big Brother is fighting hard in Tsaritsyn, we must threaten the south of France.

In this way, if the French cannot look at each other from head to tail, they will be in chaos.

We will capture Sicily first, and the remaining Marines will be concentrated directly in Sicily.

If Napoleon dares not to withdraw his troops, I will land in Corsica. Then Marseille!

We just want to see if Napoleon still cares about the French mainland."

Li Xiu looked at the troops boarding the ship and let out a heavy "hum" in his nose.

"What if he goes all the way to the dark side?"

"Then just go north and hit Paris. I don't believe it, he doesn't even want Paris."

Li Xiu knew in his heart that Napoleon would never abandon Paris no matter what.

For the French, there are only two parts of France. One is Paris, and the other is the places outside Paris.

If Paris really fell, Napoleon, the emperor, would not be able to act safely.

"Second Master, I just don't understand.

Why don't you let them cut off their oil lines!

The oil and oil refining are now in our hands. If we don't sell oil to the Portuguese, they will run out of oil.

Second Master! Don’t say you don’t know that all the diesel imported by the Portuguese was sold to the coalition forces.

If there is no diesel, their airships will have to sit down."

"What do you know? I sold them diesel because the price is now good. In the past, I still used Ming Dynasty silver coins to settle the bill, but now I find that someone is casting Ming Dynasty silver coins privately.

All settlements are in gold!

You see, the war is really going to last for several years.

Maybe we didn't win on the battlefield, but we were able to successfully earn all the gold in Europe.

Without the support of money, they are useless.

If war is about ripping open the flesh, then what we are doing now is to break their bones and suck out their marrow.

After draining these Europeans dry, they may not be able to fight even if they want to fight in the future.

Fighting! Haha, it’s the fucking money that’s being fought.”

Li Xiu rolled his eyes at Chen Laohu. These days, this guy is always overtly and covertly trying to hinder the export of diesel to Portugal.

It would be nice if I made it clear to him this time, at least this guy wouldn't stop me anymore.

Portugal is one of the few European countries that has not declared war on the Ming Dynasty, but everyone knows in their hearts that this guy is a bastard.

Even a fool can see that they have no peace of mind.

One hand bought oil products from Ming Dynasty, and the other hand poured these things to the French and British.

The two sides stood upside down to make a profit, and the abacus made a "crackling" sound.

But Li Xiao also admitted that it was nothing for the Portuguese to make a little profit. Anyway, if you want to buy diesel now, you don't need to talk about silver, only gold.

The consumption of war is huge, and Li Xiao knows very well how terrible the fuel used by airships is.

If the war drags on for two years, oil alone will turn Europeans into beggars.

No money!

Also tie some yarn.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says that the first step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, and the third step is to attack the city.

Li Xiao felt that what Lao Sun said was very reasonable. Killing with a soft knife is sometimes far crueler than on the battlefield.

Fighting on the battlefield involves using violent means to force the enemy to accept our will.

But killing with a soft knife drains the enemy's blood and bone marrow.
