Li Xiao closed the telegram in his hand and kept looking at the map.

Of course!

It’s too natural!

I thought that with tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and building some airports, we could replicate blitzkrieg warfare.

Now it seems that this is just wishful thinking.

There are no roads, no railways, no bridges.

Tanks and armored vehicles can drive through these places, but trucks certainly cannot.

If the armored division has no logistical supplies, how can it really advance like this?

After rushing in, give people loot?

The road is okay, I can barely build it quickly and easily with some bulldozers and road rollers.

Bridges are useless. The total combat weight of the Ming Dynasty tank is nearly 30 tons. This is not something that any bridge can withstand!

The big rivers in Europe, the Volga, the Don, the Danube, the Rhine.

These rivers are all stumbling blocks on the Ming Dynasty's march!

Engineers built simple bridges and had no problem dealing with those small river ditches.

But it is not enough to deal with such a large river with a width of several hundred meters or even one kilometer.

Mangui is right, if you want tanks and armored vehicles to exert their due power, you can only wait until winter!

By that time, the ground will be frozen solid and the rivers will be blocked by ice.

Only then will tanks and armored vehicles be invincible.

The office door opened, Shunzi let Luzhu in, and then closed the door outside.

"How are you doing with the news? When will the Christian coalition plan to launch an attack?" Li Xiao rubbed his forehead.

A lot of money was spent to build armored divisions, but their full power could only be exerted in the severe cold winter.

Anyone else would have a headache.

Luzhu walked behind Li Xiao and gently rubbed Li Xiao's temples.

"They have not determined the time to attack yet, and the Prussian Chief of General Staff Moltke advocated attacking now.

Napoleon, however, advocated waiting for the severe cold in Russia to pass before launching an attack.

Now the two opinions are at loggerheads, but Napoleon's opinion seems to have prevailed."

As far as intelligence is concerned, the Ming Dynasty and the West have unparalleled advantages.

The frontier of the Ming Dynasty was in Singapore, and no Westerners could cross the South China Sea. And the Ming Dynasty people they bribed could not enter Liaodong.

They can only rely on bribery to achieve the purpose of obtaining information.

But the most terrifying thing about doing things like intelligence is that there are too many links.

The more links there are, the greater the chance of error.

Over the years, Luzhu has cracked many spy cases bribed by foreigners.

With Luzhu's unremitting efforts, Ming Dynasty has basically become an iron wall. It is difficult for foreign spies to penetrate, and it is even more difficult to gather intelligence.

But it was different in the Ming Dynasty. Merchants were spread all over Europe. There were countless Europeans who were bribed.

Together with the European nobles who have interests in the Ming Dynasty, Luzhu has already launched a huge spy network in Europe.

Although there is no way to subvert Europe, there is still no problem in getting some information.

Li Xiao firmly believes in Lu Zhu’s words!

“More than 800,000 people gathered at the gates of Warsaw, and the military expenses were naturally high.

Most of the troops who went to Warsaw first were Prussian troops, and staying one more day would cost one more day of military expenses.

The Prussians are naturally anxious!

Napoleon was different. He had painful memories of the severe cold in Russia. Naturally, he was prepared to wait until spring before fighting!

The motivations are different, so naturally there is no agreement on the time of attack.

It's October, and it's already snowing in Russia. But the roads are not frozen solid yet, and are still muddy.

Our armored vehicles and tanks cannot be used. I have ordered Man Ye and Ao Ye to withdraw to the east of Moscow and follow the railway line to facilitate supplies.

Find a way to stop the coalition from attacking for the time being. It would be best to let them launch another attack in the winter!"

Lu Zhu kneaded it very comfortably, and Li Xiao hummed comfortably.

"This is difficult to handle. After all, the European nobles we bribed are all small nobles.

Limited influence on authorities’ decisions!

So...!" Luzhu was a little embarrassed.

Most of the great nobles had close relationships with the Hebrews. This was something that could not be helped. After all, the Hebrews had been living in Europe for thousands of years.

"It's okay!

Spying is actually a long-term process.

But you have to think carefully about the direction of your breakthrough. Sometimes, this small noble can also become a big noble.

Choose some people you can cooperate with for a long time, and provide them with appropriate resources and opportunities. Let them have the opportunity to become a generation of powerful officials!

Those European nobles!

Some talents have emerged, but many of them are actually playboys.

This is no different from our Ming Dynasty.

The dandy boy is so happy about his achievements, but he has high ambitions and low abilities.

In our Ming Dynasty, they can only rely on the blessing of their ancestors to eat and wait to die.

But in Europe, there is still a market for their dandyism.

European leaders have the habit of appointing nobles.

If you don't believe it, just look at how many people in the Prussian army have the character "Feng" in their names.

Tie up fences and reach into other people's homes to pick out eggs. This job is actually not easy to do.

But if someone else's chickens lay eggs in our homes, it would be a different story."

Luzhu was so smart that he immediately understood what Li Xiao meant.

"No! I understand, and I will follow the commander's instructions."

Li Xiao nodded and closed his eyes.

Luzhu was about to leave when he suddenly heard Li Xiao say: "How is the investigation on the two planes going?"

Luzhu knew that the two planes Li Xiao mentioned were the planes that crashed on the decks of the two aircraft carriers Shandong and Liaodong!

Because of the crash of these two planes, Ming Dynasty was unable to continue its attack on Crimea.

The direct consequence is that Israel has escaped this crisis of national annihilation.

The strategic intention was not achieved, starting with Li Xiao. The entire general staff was filled with resentment for the two dead pilots.

So far, death notices for the two men have not been issued.

Speculation about whether the two men were martyrs or traitors has never stopped.

I have been checking for more than two months now, and I still need a result no matter what.

"We gathered a lot of experts and also interviewed all witnesses present.

The conclusion is that...the two people did not obviously collide with the aircraft carrier.

Experts concluded that it was an accident!

According to Lu Le, the captain of the Shandong ship, the two pilots' total flight time did not exceed ten hours.

Among them, after the Shandong ship accident, the pilot who crashed on the Liaodong ship only flew for a little more than an hour.

Insufficient training and experience were the main reasons for this accident." Luzhu said very carefully, and she still couldn't figure out Li Xiao's attitude towards this matter.

Anyway, the people in the General Staff wanted to convict these two pilots of treason.

They hated these two pilots so much that if it hadn't been for them, the General Staff would already be holding a victory ceremony.

"Experts look at issues from a professional perspective. I want to know your opinion." Li Xiao closed his eyes and said quietly.

"Both of them are from Liaodong with a clean family background, and they were both good in character and academics when they were in school.

Their fathers are both retired officers of the Liao Army, and their families are very well off.

I sent people to investigate their homes, as well as the homes of all their relatives, including the engaged woman.

No one was found to have accepted large sums of money!
