"yes!

We have occupied other people's land, so there is no need to drive them all away.

I wrote a note to the King of Greece and asked people to send them all to Greece."

"Are they willing to accept them?" Li Xiao felt that the Greeks seemed to have no reason to accept these aborigines.

"He dares!

The note I gave him contained an order, asking him to properly arrange for these people.

The people I sent came back, and the King of Greece behaved like a cat.

The indigenous people divided the land and built houses.

Life is pretty good, and some people live a better life than here in Crete."

Li Xiao nodded!

Indeed, under the powerful ships and cannons of the Ming Dynasty, the Greek king could not act like a cat.

Crete is so close to Athens, which offended this man.

Maybe in a few days, the Port of Athens will become a Ming Dynasty military port.

Anyway, for such a small country, if a few destroyers were sent over, the king would be frightened.

"There is an arsenal under construction over there, which mainly produces artillery shells and naval... Marine Corps bullets, landmines and so on.

It is really too far to transport it from the Ming Dynasty.

Build some here to reduce the pressure of long-distance transportation.

Oh, there's a repair shop next to it.

Some mechanics were recruited from China to repair cars and various construction machinery.

The quality of cars produced in Shenyang is not very good. They break down as soon as they are started, and the failure rate is alarming.

We had no choice but to build a repair shop like this."

Li Xiu pointed to a large area of ​​completed and nearly completed factory buildings!

Li Xiao nodded, these were all reported.

The arsenal mainly produces small-caliber artillery shells used by the Marine Corps, as well as rifles and machine gun bullets.

This kind of stuff consumes a lot of money, and transporting it over long distances from Daming sometimes delays things.

As for the repair shop, Li Xiao had to admit it.

One's own efforts to push back others' growth still have negative consequences, and that is the alarming rate of car breakdowns.

Relatively speaking, tractors seem to be better.

Perhaps this is related to the relatively slow speed of the tractor.

Look at the water plant and power plant all the way!

Crete is now becoming more and more modern, with water towers more than fifty meters high and telephone poles one after another on the roadside.

Although the asphalt road is a little dirty, it is very smooth.

Li Xiao was sitting in the jeep with almost no bumps.

It's not like in Russia, where riding a jeep on that kind of road is like waving the Lantern Festival, it's worse than riding a three-bouncer.

Further ahead is the Navy's temporary dock.

This is an open dry dock with no roof.

All the workers are working shirtless!

Inside the dock is a large transport ship. It must have just arrived, and the bottom of the ship is covered with oysters and barnacles.

It’s so densely packed that those with trypophobia will get goosebumps immediately after looking at it.

A group of workers were waving shovels in their hands, working hard to shovel barnacles on the hull of the ship.

Barnacles secrete a glue-like substance that sticks to the bottom of the hull.

Moreover, as time goes by, more and more barnacles will accumulate on the bottom of the boat.

Finally, it even reached the point where it affected the speed of the ship.

Therefore, ships usually go ashore every few years to clean up barnacles and other things.

This is the first step in ship maintenance, and it is also a step that cannot be reduced.

These workers faced the scorching Mediterranean sun on their heads and kept swinging the shovels in their hands.

Pieces of barnacles were shoveled down.

Barnacle dregs and dust splashed on people will immediately become sticky with sweat.

The smell of barnacle residue is very unpleasant, and it becomes even worse when exposed to the sun.

From a distance, Li Xiao smelled a fishy smell.

It was really unlucky to work in this place. In Li Xiao's opinion, it was worse than those Egyptian workers laying bricks just now.

When the jeep drove here, it obviously slowed down.

Li Xiu also introduced this dock intentionally or unintentionally!

Following Li Xiu's fingers, Li Xiao finally saw the scene that Li Xiu wanted him to see.

Chen Laohu, with gray sideburns, was shirtless and holding a shovel in his hand and swinging it vigorously.

It can be seen that he works very hard. Almost every time he swings the shovel, a large piece of barnacles will be shoveled away.

His body, hair, and face were covered with barnacle residue, and he looked extremely miserable.

This is very different from Li Xiao’s impression of the deputy commander of the Navy Rear Admiral with a straight military uniform!

Li Xiao almost didn’t recognize it!

Finally, I understood why Li Xiu led him here.

Since acting in this drama has given me a step forward, I have to continue it.

"Isn't that Chen Laohu?" Li Xiao pointed his finger in pretending to be surprised.

"Brother, that's the old guy.

For making such a big mistake, I punished him by coming here to shovel barnacles and oysters."

"Stop the car! Let's go over and take a look!" Li Xiao waved his hand and the driver stopped the car immediately.

The group got out of the car and walked towards Chen Laohu, who was working.

Chen Laohu was very dedicated in shoveling barnacles, and when Li Xiao walked behind him, he was still sweating profusely.

He just shoveled harder and harder.

"Chen Laohu!" Li Xiao shouted.

Chen Laohu turned around, bowed his head and said, "Commander!"

The acting skills are really not that good, but the script of the sad drama is good, and you can tell from a glance that it was directed by an expert.

He hit his head on the oyster shell on the ground and hit it hard!

Soon, there were blood stains on the ground.

After the oyster shell shattered, it looked like a knife. When Chen Laohu raised his head again, his forehead was already covered with wounds.

The blood flowed down his cheeks, onto his chin, and then fell to the ground in "tick-tick" "tick-tock" sounds.

"Commander...!" I don't know whether it hurts or is really sad, Chen Laohu's tears rolled down his eyes.

Li Xiao had a dark feeling that it would probably hurt.

"That's it! I've been demoted when I should be demoted, and I've been punished when I should be punished.

This kind of corporal punishment is unnecessary. After serving Ming Dynasty for so many years, this bit of dignity must be left to you.

Get up!"

Li Xiao bent down and patted Chen Laohu on the shoulder.

"Commander! It's a crime to be humble!

We lost this battle and lost the power of our Ming army.

I also lost thousands of brothers!

A sinful job!

It’s sinful to hold a humble position!”

"Get up, pretend to be a dead dog.

Even if our Liao army is defeated, we will still fight back.
Chapter completed!
