The huge ship bumped on the sea for more than twenty days before it finally arrived in Algiers.

After more than twenty days of eating and drinking without having to work, the faces of these Ottomans were all red!

I feel a little better than when I first got on the boat.

As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, a sea breeze with a strong fishy smell and a blazing heat wave hit my face.

Calhanoglu blocked the sun with his hands and saw a scene he had never seen in his life.

The port is full of various ships, and groups of people are walking down the gangways from the ships.

After these people gathered at the port, they were taken away on four-wheeled vehicles.

That kind of car is very strange. There is no horse or ox in the front. Just one person can easily pull dozens of people away.

There are many people working in the port, unloading various things from the ship.

There is also a continuously rolling machine that delivers everything on the ship. The workers only need to wait underneath!

In the distance on the sea, you can still see the warships of the Ming Dynasty, dragging up the sea like sharks.

There was a roar in the sky from far to near, and Charhanoglu was surprised to see a huge iron bird with iron wings flying from the sky.

"That's an airplane, a powerful thing that only existed in the Ming Dynasty. The bombs it dropped were so big that they could kill dozens or hundreds of people at once."

The bearded man glanced up, but he quickly lost interest in the plane.

He had seen too much of this in Crimea.

Everyone lined up in a long line and walked down the gangway.

They were then placed in a huge tent and waited for cars to take them away.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xiao came to Sicily again, and the airport on Sicily has been completed.

Kunpeng bombers taking off from here can easily carry out bombing missions deep into the hinterland of Italy.

Kunpeng flew to Rome twice, and what he dropped was not leaflets, but countless leaflets.

Kunpeng's huge size and loud roar made the Romans panic.

The Pope came out to speak and said that it was God's arrangement for the Ming Dynasty to rule this world. Therefore, God's weapons were sent down to help the people of the Ming Dynasty.

All of this is God’s will!

The Vatican is right next to Rome, and the Pope's words carry great weight in the hearts of Romans.

There is currently a heated discussion in the Italian Parliament about whether Italy should withdraw from the European Union and then make a separate peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Now is almost the last chance. If you don't cherish this opportunity, you may have to surrender next time.

At that time, the conditions were even more difficult to negotiate.

Sicily is gone now, and Cagliari is gone too.

“The airport renovation on Corsica is about to be completed. By then, Corsica will be able to take off and land Kunpeng.

In this way, Kunpeng was able to carry out bombing missions deep into the heart of France.

Places such as Lyon, Montpellier, and Merellepur are all within the range of bombers.

These areas are important industrial cities in France, and the ammunition produced here is directly supplied to the front lines of France and Germany.

The news from our insiders,

Nowadays, in these factories, people are resting and machines are not resting, and they operate 24 hours a day."

Zuo Liangyu started to introduce to Li Xiao on the runway of the airport.

Li Xiao looked at the huge airport runway, which was five kilometers long.

Even if the huge Kunpeng takes off, this distance is more than enough.

At one end of the airport, there is also a huge apron and a hangar under construction.

Not only was Kunpeng parked on the tarmac, there were also many airships parked.

On the runway, trucks pass by from time to time.

Transport building materials and construction workers!

What a prosperous and busy scene!

"Commander, we have wasted so much effort and we can't take advantage of the Italians." Zuo Liangyu said what he had been thinking about for a long time.

"What do you mean...!" Li Xiao looked at Zuo Liangyu, who was much darker and thinner.

His dark skin made his beard look whiter.

"Commander, I think we should cede Sicily from Italy.

Oh, yes, and Corsica!

These two places are the bases of our Marine Corps. As long as we control these two places, we can control almost the entire Mediterranean Sea and the southern coast of Europe.

And once the airport on Corsica is repaired, we can threaten the hinterland of Europe.

If we have more powerful aircraft in the future, it will not be difficult to fly out and bomb Paris."

Zuo Liangyu looked forward to the future and planned the future of the Marine Corps.

After the general planned the Marine Corps into a separate service, Zuo Liangyu's official rank increased. Now, he is the same commander in chief of the independent army as Li Xiu.

Because it is necessary to protect the Ming Dynasty's maritime interests, the number of marines has been expanding.

It has now grown to forty divisions and nearly 550,000 people.

Even so, with the development of Ming Dynasty's maritime interests, these troops do not seem to be enough.

However, Li Xiao no longer allowed the Marine Corps to continue to increase its troops. After all, it was still during the war, and the Ming Dynasty still maintained a large army.

If the Marine Corps continues to expand without restrictions, the Ming Dynasty's national strength will be greatly tested.

"Since you said it, Commander Zuo, then we will occupy Corsica and Sicily.

Corsica can threaten the Mediterranean coast of Western Europe, and Sicily is Corsica's backup.

If you add the island of Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean and the island of Malta in the middle, this is a complete line of defense that allows us to firmly control the Mediterranean.

But from now on, in addition to these places, you will also station troops in Gibraltar.

You have to think carefully about the deployment of troops. Anyway, the court can only give you 550,000 posts at the moment, and one more is not enough.

Do you understand?"

"No! Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely deploy our troops properly. I will definitely protect our Ming Dynasty's overseas interests!"

I plan to occupy key positions in some key waterways and deploy heavy troops in these places.

For example, the canal zones on both sides of the Suez Canal, and Singapore.

I discovered that there is a very good location in the Indian Ocean called Diego Garcia.

But that place is now occupied by the navy, we...!"

"Diego Garcia, let that place be given to the Navy. After a while it won't be so tense, and we will build an airport there.

Your Marines can set up a base there and station some people as a defensive force.

It is shared with the Navy!

Oh, right!

Now that the number of aircraft is increasing, we will establish an Air Force Command in the future.

At that time, the Air Force, like the Marine Corps, Navy, and Army, will become independent arms."
Chapter completed!
