Chapter 268(1/2)

The French are finished, and the Spanish will surrender. The envoy has asked to see Zheng Sen many times, but Zheng Sen has never had time.

Zheng Sen also didn't want to negotiate with the representatives of the Spanish King, because Li Xiao was not very interested in Spain's surrender.

Valencia has now become a shooting range for the navy. Every day the navy is entrenched in the Mediterranean and fires artillery into the city of Valencia.

Sometimes, the destroyers even came as close as five or six kilometers away to bombard targets in the city.

Valencia is one of the important industrial towns of the Spanish. It has one of the few large-scale shipyards and machinery factories in Spain. In addition, it is also a famous granary in Spain.

All the warships recently built by the Ming Dynasty have arrived in the waters of Valencia.

In fact, they did target practice like this every day.

The Kunpeng bombers in the sky would always correct the impact point of their shells, causing the Spaniards to run away with their heads in their hands.

Spain's largest shipyard in Valencia is now riddled with holes. The Ming Navy is very careful and plans which workshop will be used as a shooting range every day.

Then, the newly commissioned destroyers drove to the seaside and faced the shipyard.

It's so bullying, but the Spaniards can't do anything about it.

The Spanish no longer had a navy at sea, and the forts on the shore were also destroyed by the roll call bombardment of the 480mm shells from the battleships.

Therefore, the Spaniards now have no ability to counterattack at all.

We can only watch the Ming people come over, calmly fire their cannons, and then calmly retreat!

Li Xiao doesn't like Valencia, but he is very friendly to Barcelona.

Not only did the navy not bomb Barcelona, ​​it even negotiated with the Catalans in Barcelona.

It means that the Ming people support the Catalan independence movement and continue to provide weapons to the Catalan people.

Although these weapons were all captured by the Ming army on the battlefield.

But better than the unarmed Barcelona people!

Ming Dynasty was even kind enough to sell a Russian ammunition production line to the Spaniards. The price was a bit expensive, but there was no need to pay, as long as the corresponding grain was paid.

Russia doesn't need money very much now. What they need more is food. Most Russians are starving, and this is still the winter of just harvesting.

If spring comes, without the support of the Ming Dynasty, Russia, which lost a large number of its labor force in the war, will definitely have a famine. By then, many people will die.

It is definitely too late to grow food now. In order to deal with the famine, the Russians have thought of a good way.

This idea is in line with the personality of the fighting nation, grab it in one word!

The first to be unlucky was Poland, which had just been partitioned. Not only was all the food in the government granaries robbed.

Russian soldiers even went from house to house to grab food. Every day, Russian soldiers walked through the streets. Whenever they saw smoke coming from someone's chimney, they would immediately rush in and snatch the Polish people's rations.

So much so that Poles have started eating raw wheat!

This method is very primitive, but very effective.

In just one month, Russia obtained 30,000 tons of grain from Poland.

These grains were brought back to Russia by trains one by one and became the rations of the Russian people.

Russia's second largest source of food plunder is Ukraine, known as the breadbasket of Europe.

Ukraine has been a battlefield in the past two years, but the war has been in Eastern Ukraine, east of Kiev. But Western Ukraine is still relatively normal!

People grow crops on fertile black soil, which is black soil, black soil that can produce oil.

Wherever, as long as you sow seeds on the ground, there will be endless wheat in autumn.

The Russian army followed the same old routine, howling all the way into the Ukrainian homes. They took away the food they saw without any explanation, and then wandered around the Ukrainian villages all day long.

See whose house has cooking smoke, and grab it all over again.

Because Western Ukraine is very wealthy, the Russians also develop spies. These people wander around during the day and night, and they will secretly light fires and cook in the middle of the night whenever they find someone with food.

They will report it to the Russians, and then the Russians will rob it.

Twenty percent of the stolen food will be given to the informant!

For a time, high density among Ukrainians became common. Neighbors who were originally harmonious have now become the people who need to be most wary.

Li Xiao knows all this, and also knows that the Polish and Ukrainian people will definitely fall into the dilemma of cannibalism in the spring of next year!

But Li Xiao doesn’t want to care!

When Napoleon was fighting in Ukraine, ammunition and other supplies were supplied to the front line domestically. However, food was conquered in Western Ukraine.

In other words, the people of Western Ukraine used their food to supply Napoleon for two years.

Now that Napoleon is finished, what can they do if they don't pay the price?

Li Xiao wants everyone to know the consequences of opposing the Ming Dynasty.

Let them eat each other and bring them the most terrifying memories. Only those who can survive this great terror will feel that the Ming Dynasty is really terrible. From now on, they will never dare to betray the Ming Dynasty at will.

.

The Russians were very cruel to the Western Ukrainians, even more cruel than they were to the Poles.

They will take away the last grain of food from the family and watch the children who are waiting to be fed starve to death.

There are many reasons for this, one of which is that people in Eastern Ukraine speak Russian.

They believe in Orthodox Christianity and are naturally close to Russia.

But the people of Western Ukraine, besides speaking Ukrainian, also speak Polish. In terms of religious belief, they all believe in Catholicism.

Although they are both Christians, the struggle between the two sects has never stopped for thousands of years.

The hatred between them is much deeper than the Black Sea.

Li Xiao expressed his understanding of Russia's actions. First, it alleviated domestic conflicts, and second, it weakened the power to resist the Ming Dynasty and Russia in a disguised manner.

Li Xiao agrees with this point. Since you have won, you must look like you have won. The most basic condition is to give and take what you want from the people in the occupied area.

The Ming army's garrison in Ukraine is Crimea, and its garrison in the north is Riga!

Both places have seaports, and Riga is also connected by train.

The Ming army could easily obtain supplies at these two places to rest and repair war wounds.

The Germans have always been concerned about the movements of the Ming army. They found that the Ming army seemed to be staying in Riga and not leaving.

The Ming army requisitioned most of the houses in Riga and built many prefabricated houses in the suburbs to accommodate the troops.

The Germans found out that some Ming troops had returned to China. It seems that some of them will be withdrawn one after another!

Finally, there may be very few troops left in Europe.

This made the Germans really excited for a few days. Russia had been crippled in this battle. The German army's most powerful opponent in Europe had changed from the French army to the Ming army.

Although the Ming army has concluded an alliance with Germany, the most unbelievable thing in the world is the alliance.

Because in the eyes of all politicians, covenants are meant for betrayal. If anyone takes it seriously, he will surely die worse than a pig.

Even though the war with France was very difficult, Asch did not mobilize too many troops from the Eastern Front.

He still had the strongest wariness against the Ming army.

However, there was no change in the Ming army, except that more and more young Polish girls began to move north.

They are more enthusiastic and cheaper than Russian girls.

The Ming army would give them a few steamed buns and a few steamed buns, and they would be able to kiss each other.

The Polish girl's voluntary price reduction caused great dissatisfaction among the Russian girls. As a result, wars between Polish girls and Russian girls often broke out on the streets of Riga.

Many times, one-on-one battles will develop into a group station mode.

Groups of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would stand on the roadside to watch the battle between women, and even comment on the high ground of both sides' martial arts.

The local police don't care much about these things. They are more interested in collecting money from these women than maintaining order.

Only when these women have finished fighting, have beaten enough, and are tired, will they appear and take both parties away.

After everyone blackmailed them, they were released and continued to serve the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

At the height of the fierce battle between the Germans and the French, a very wise mayor Husjanovich came to Riga.

The mayor keenly discovered the business opportunities, so he ordered two streets to be opened in the city center.

It was specially provided for these skilled women to carry out work, and they also contacted the Ming garrison.

It shows that in order to ensure the health of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, these women need to undergo professional physical examinations every month. Those with physical diseases will be eliminated and they will not be allowed to serve the Ming army.

Prevent them from transmitting the disease to the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers!

This suggestion was praised by the Ming garrison. The Ming garrison was very generous and took over the work of giving the girls physical examinations.

Husjanovich also opened two streets in the city center and replaced the houses facing the streets with large display windows.

It's winter, and the room is fully heated. The girls are wearing cool clothes and standing in the window showing off their bodies.

As long as there are men passing by, they will curl their fingers at the men through the glass.

In the corner of the window, there is a price tag with the price of the girls written on it.
