Li Xiao sat quietly on the chair of the General Staff Headquarters. In front of him was a huge Eastern European sand table, and on the wall was a huge map of Eastern Europe.

The staff officers standing on the ladder marked the latest positions of the enemy and ourselves with red and blue pencils.

On the sand table, there were also staff members planting small triangular flags on it.

Li Xiao knew that although there was just a small flag in front of him, on the real battlefield, there were real people of flesh and blood fighting with their lives.

Words like corpses strewn across the fields, stumps of limbs and arms, and blood flowing everywhere are sometimes more than mere modifications of words.

When he first went to the battlefield, Li Xiao felt excited, excited, and even felt like his blood was burning.

But now, this feeling is completely gone.

There is only a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!

To a certain extent, it doesn't seem to matter if the war is defeated.

After all, the battle line is thousands of miles away from the Ming border.

But the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, including Li Xiao, all understood that the war thousands of miles away was related to the well-being of future generations for hundreds of years.

As long as this war is won, the process of Western industrialization will be completely interrupted.

For at least a hundred years, the West would no longer be able to pose any threat to the Ming Empire.

They will forever be reduced to primary labor and raw material markets.

Of course, they will also be the last dumping market for Ming's products.

Their industry can only serve the Ming Dynasty and become a link in the Ming Dynasty's production chain.

Factories in European countries will be controlled by Daming Capital. The economies of European countries will be tied up by Daming Capital.

It can be said that as long as the descendants of Ming Dynasty do not make mistakes, Ming Dynasty will rule this planet forever.

If it loses this war, Ming will no longer be able to deal with distant Europe.

Russia will completely switch sides, and Ming's huge initial investment in Russia will be confiscated.

The European powers will get precious breathing time.

They will use this precious breathing time to strive to catch up with Ming's technology and industry.

A competitor on equal footing with Ming Dynasty will appear on the land of Europa.

They will compete with Ming Dynasty on a global scale for land, resources, labor, and markets.

The taste of monopoly is so wonderful, whoever enjoys this kind of rights will become as rich as the country.

No one is willing to give up this right, neither individuals nor countries.

Ming Dynasty was unwilling to give up its current monopoly position, so it was bound to have a fight with this competitor.

The weather on the northern route still hasn't changed much, which is so damn weird.

It's already November, and it's actually still raining in Russia. And it rains one after another, with few sunny days.

Winter rain that falls during the day will freeze into ice at night.

But at noon the next day, it will be completely melted by the sun. The road has completely turned into a swamp, and it is difficult for even a tank to walk on it, let alone a car.

Hindered by logistical supplies, the Prussian army failed to achieve any results on the Smolensk front.

At the beginning of the war, with the help of airships and tractors, they successfully advanced to Smolensk within forty days.

Poland regained all the territory it had lost at the beginning of the war.

This proved the combat effectiveness of the Prussian soldiers, and also proved the vulnerability of the Russian soldiers.

The relatively small Russian army fled without fighting in many places, and some even surrendered without fighting.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the Prussian army as devastating.

Li Xiao just doesn't understand. With such a record, you have the nerve to call yourself a fighting nation?

The Internet in later generations is really harmful!

As a soldier, Li Xiao always had an unspeakable fondness for the Prussian soldiers.

No matter how you study war history, this nation has created a glorious history and also had its defeat in Zumaicheng.

But if you study carefully, you will find that every time they defeat, it has nothing to do with this iron-blooded army.

Facing extremely powerful opponents, they even sent middle school students to the battlefield.

It was the legion composed of these people that once made the world fearful.

Skeleton!

empire!

Viking!

These names are still used by later generations in various versions to record their glorious achievements.

It's just a pity that even if Li Xiao wants to unite with Prussia, it will not be easy.

Religion is a very big obstacle. After all, the vast majority of people in Prussia believe in Christianity.

Russia, on the other hand, believes in the Orthodox Church. Although they are all followers of Jesus and Jesus Christ, they still have different doctrines.

In the eyes of Christians, Ming Dynasty is a complete pagan and a heretic in this world.

Many priests wanted to burn unbelievers at the stake.

This is their standard procedure for all heretics and heretics!

The northern front was finally stabilized on the Smolensk line, but both sides of the war have already stepped up their posture, preparing to start an unprecedented war after the freezing rain ends.

Prussia had huge military resources, while Ming Dynasty had modern technological resources of tanks, aircraft, and cannons.

It's hard to say who will win or lose. At least Li Xiao knows that there is an army in North Korea with only a few heavy weapons that defeated the powerful and arrogant Yingjiang.

At that time, Yingjiang's military power was overwhelming to today's Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes, the rational use of techniques and tactics, and the fighting will and level of soldiers can also determine the direction of the war.

Rather than relying solely on military technology to achieve success.

However, the German army was at least on the ground, restraining the Ming army and the main force of the Russian army, preventing them from supporting the southern front.

Southern line!

The French army was advancing towards Tsaritsyn, and Napoleon's warriors were more fierce than their Prussian counterparts.

It only took them twenty days to fight from Kharkov to a place fifty kilometers outside Tsaritsyn.

This also shows that the Russian army's will to resist is surprisingly low.

However, this phenomenon has been greatly improved after the arrival of Stewie and Kutuzov.

Outside Tsaritsyn, the French advance slowly slowed down.

One kilometer or two kilometers every day to chew towards Tsaritsin!

It is estimated that it will be December when I eat Tsaritsyn.

Generally speaking, December and January are the coldest months in Russian winter.

Carrying out the Tsaritsyn defense battle in the coldest months is beneficial to the Ming and Russian coalition forces on the defensive side.

After all, they can make use of the fortifications that have been built. Not only can the heating problem be solved, but food is not a problem.

Even though the Ming Dynasty’s transportation network was much longer than that of the French army, the Ming Dynasty’s transportation lines were entirely composed of railways.

The only way to reach the front line is to rely on a large number of tractors and airships.

Although there are currently more requirements during the preparation period for the campaign, the transportation capacity is temporarily tight.

However, with the completion of the double-track Central Asia Railway, everything will get better.

On the other hand, for the French army, the railway was only built as far as Kiev.

There is only one Israeli railway from Kiev to Donetsk.

Donetsk is a full three to four hundred kilometers eastward, and there is no railway at all.

Under the mud, how to ensure the supply of frontline troops has become the most troublesome thing for the French.

What is even more serious is that as Tsaritsyn Airport is approaching completion.

The airships that the French army relied on for survival on the front line will now only be able to travel with their lights turned off at night, just like the Prussians on the northern front.

Even on a full moon night, they dare not come out and wander around.

Because if you don't do it right, you will run into Ming Dynasty's Stuka fighter jets.

The airship was so huge and slow that it was not even qualified to escape when it encountered a Stuka.

The first reaction of the airship pilot was to jump into the dark and cold night sky with a parachute on his back.

At this time, it is necessary to compare the character. If the character is not good and the wind is not blowing in the right direction, it is very likely that you will become a prisoner of the Russians.

The Russians are world-famous for their harsh treatment of prisoners.

The war on the Russian front is in full swing, but the war in the Arab world has come to an end.

Since the Ming Dynasty changed its strategy, everything has gone much smoother. Attacks on the Ming army have become less and less frequent, and there are even guerrilla traitors who continue to lead the Ming army to encircle and suppress the remaining guerrillas.

This is all thanks to Wu Ciyou’s ongoing action to equalize wealth and poverty!

The local land has long belonged to the chiefs.

As long as you live on this land, you have to pay tribute to the chief.

This has been going on for thousands of years, and the Arabs have even become accustomed to the sheikh's rule over this land.

As for the foreigners who came to this land, no one thought about managing it themselves. After all, management also requires costs.
