Li Xiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the gloomy Russian sky.

In the distance, a large group of tractors are pulling supplies to the front line. The churning sound can be heard from a distance!

Fortunately, the coalition forces did not have aircraft, otherwise the exhaust gas that seriously exceeded the standard would be the best bomb attractor.

It's cloudy again, and it's going to fucking snow again.

Russia is really unbeatable this winter. It snows three times a month, all for three days in a row.

It snows for one-third of a month, which is rare even in Daming and Heilongjiang.

The snow on the ground has not yet melted, and new snow has fallen.

Where there are no people in the wild, the snow is almost waist deep.

Blizzard made both sides of the war suffer a lot, and the coalition relied on the human sea tactic.

Continuously use manpower to clear the snow on the road leading to the front line.

And since there was sufficient fuel, airships have become the most important means of transportation for the coalition forces.

Especially the several hundred kilometers from Kiev to the Tsaritsyn front line, the sky is almost filled with airships at night.

It's just a pity that the Stuka's night fighting ability is very poor.

Also affected by weather factors, Stukas rarely set out at night.

There are many airships on the Ming Army's side, but the main means of transportation on the Ming Army's side is tractors.

The tractors with deep grooves on their wheels were not only responsible for transporting supplies for the Ming army, but also continuously transported new soldiers and ammunition to the front line.

Tractors have high horsepower and can adapt to rough roads. In Russia, where there are no roads, they are much easier to use than trucks.

People in the Ming Dynasty called tractors Liaodong Army Horses.

The people plowing snow on the road in the distance are also forklifts and bulldozers.

Mechanization is good. Once the bulldozer adjusts the shovel, it can clear the snow on the road in a short time without damaging the road surface.

Forklifts shovel mountains of snow onto tractors, and then pull them into ravines or pile them into rivers.

The snow must be cleared away, otherwise the road will be inoperable when the snow melts.

"Dad, it's cold outside. Don't catch a cold!" Li Lin stood with Li Xiao for a long time, and his feet were almost numb from the cold.

But in front of Li Xiao, he didn't dare to stamp his feet.

"Sometimes, I really want to lead a company or a battalion to fight at the front, but I don't want to face so many bad things."

Li Xiao put his hands behind his back and still looked at the gloomy sky.

Li Lin guessed that his father's current mood was gloomier than the sky.

"Dad, the matter about the second aunt...!"

"Haha! Your second aunt's matter is actually just an isolated case. I didn't understand it because I just discovered it through play.

Do you think that your second aunt is the only one among the Ming army and the top brass of the imperial court who does this?"

Li Xiao looked back at Li Lin.

Li Lin was a little stupid and didn't know how to answer his father's words.

“There are many people who do this, but this is wartime and we cannot carry out large-scale rectification.

The crackdown is so severe that no one will work anymore. How can we fight this war?

Look at that transport convoy in front!

There are so many soldiers on the front line, and the things they need every day are truckloads of goods. Carloads of ammunition, grain, supplies and the best children of the Ming Dynasty are transported into this ice and snow.

What about the ones shipped back?

Carload after carload of wounded, as well as the ashes of the soldiers.

The soldiers on the front line are bleeding and sweating, but where are the people at the rear?

Play around mahjong in the morning, play around the wine table at noon, and play around with skirts in the evening.

Some people say that if the front is tight, the rear will be tight.

There are too many people who engage in corruption and bribery and harm the public and private interests."

Li Xiao seemed very melancholy and sighed heavily.

Li Lin was a little surprised. Even when facing Napoleon's million-strong army, his father did not feel so powerless.

"Dad, I'll go back and punish Second Aunt severely. Let's shock those young people. Our own family members have already dealt with it severely. Let's see if they still dare."

"hehe!

Did you know that Emperor Hongwu peeled off the skin and made grass?

Money is so attractive that I feel lucky not to be caught.

What can't be deterred even by skinning, can you deter them by punishing your second aunt?

Son, you are too naive."

Li Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Dad, then...then we can't let these people be so greedy." Li Lin was a little annoyed.

"No! No!

If you eat, you must spit it out. If you are greedy, you must spit it out.

How can you accomplish something if you don't pay the price?

But not now, we have to finish this battle that is related to the future of the Chinese nation.

You should go back and do two things now. One is to sell the Tianhe's cargo of oil and plug the holes in the Quanzhou Arsenal.

Second, Shi Lang will be executed late in the capital, and as for your second aunt..., we will temporarily put her under house arrest until after the war."

Li Xiao obviously paused when he mentioned Zheng's family.

To be honest, he had no idea how to deal with Mr. Zheng.

There are too many things involved, including the Zheng family's relationship, Zheng Sen's relationship, and even more so, Li Xiu's relationship.

"Dad, just dealing with Shi Lang is not enough to deter those people, I...!"

"What about you?

Do you still want to kill your second aunt?

Silly boy, you Bin'er and Zhan'er are still young. Now that you've killed their mother, how can they not hate you?

How will your relationship between cousins ​​work out in the future?

There are three gangs of heroes, and sometimes you have to trust your own family.

When your father was conquering the world, your second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle all worked to the death.

Only family members will help you selflessly, regardless of gain or loss.

There are some things that I am telling you now that you may not be able to understand.

You will figure it out in the future.

Okay, let's go back and deal with Shi Lang.

Maybe his broken body can save some people.

I'm here to finish this battle.

This is a war facing the entire 500 million white people. We cannot lose, we cannot afford to lose.

If we lose, our sphere of influence will retreat by two thousand kilometers.

The Western Region will become the front line, and the empire will never have peace."

When it comes to fighting, Li Xiao seems to be full of confidence again.

Li Lin knew his father well. He was a relatively pure soldier and an unqualified bureaucrat.

After this period of experience, Li Lin also believed that the army was much cleaner than the imperial court.

"Dad, the battle situation...!"

"It's okay, we just have a temporary disadvantage.

Look at the teams over there that are clearing the snow from the roads, and the tractors that are transporting the snow.

Our logistics is highly mechanized. Whether it is building roads or transporting supplies, we use fewer people than those yellow-haired people.

On the other hand, those yellow men, how much manpower would they have to spend to open this road?

Regardless of how many people they have, they also consume a lot of resources.

At least, people have to eat.

We also had to control the epidemic, organize logistics, etc. In fact, Napoleon was very busy.
To be continued...
