The news of Zheng Sen's disappearance was brought to Crete by airship as quickly as possible.

This island, which has officially become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is now completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The radio waves quickly conveyed the news to the Ming Dynasty station by station. On the day Zheng Sen arrived in Hamburg, Li Xiao, who was in the capital, also received a message from Zheng Sen.

News of Sen's disappearance.

"Commander, I'm getting old, but Fusong can't just die like this. No matter who he is, he has to pay the price for this." Zheng Zhilong sat in Li Xiao's office, not crying or fussing, just crying. After crying, he

Make a request to Li Xiao.

The fire in Li Xiao's heart almost lifted his forehead.

I thought I would let Zheng Sen chair this conference so that he could gain more experience and become a leader in the future. But I didn’t expect that Napoleon, that bitch, actually made people disappear.

The news came three days ago. For the sake of confidentiality, the Ming Dynasty’s radio station was only deployed to Crete. There is no Ming Dynasty embassy in Paris, so naturally no radio station was set up.

"No matter who attacked Zheng Sen, he is finished." Li Xiao looked equally vicious.

Talent, especially trustworthy talent, is definitely a scarce product these days, not to mention that Zheng Sen has grown up in the Li family since he was a child.

"I asked Fu to live in that Paris. No matter what, I want to see Fu Song's people or Fu Song's body."

Li Xiao knew that Fukuzumi was the younger brother of Zheng Sen's mother, Tagawa Nanaemon. Now he was working for Sun Xing in the Middle East, so it would be appropriate for him to go to Paris. After all, he was a compatriot, so he would definitely try his best.

"Okay, let me deploy a battalion of Marines. The Japanese are good at doing business, and among Western European countries, they have more eyes and ears than the Ming Dynasty. If you stay here, you may be able to do amazing things."

Although several days have passed, Li Xiao still wants to believe that Zheng Sen is still alive.

"Old! A few years ago, I personally led troops to Western Europe. England and Prussia were all defeated by him." Zheng Zhilong swept his pine bark-like claws in the air, quite like the First Emperor sweeping away the world.

Li Xiao was speechless!

Because basic education, especially the basic education of the nobility, was done well. After being inspired by the industrial achievements of the Ming Dynasty, the industrialization process in Western Europe began rapidly.

In particular, Britain, which was the first to come into contact with Eastern technology, became the leader of this round of industrial revolution.

Because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, France could only settle for second place. Frederick the Great of Prussia attached great importance to industry. Under his leadership, the Ruhr Industrial Area emerged on the Rhine River.

Among the remaining European countries, Russia has gained the Dorgon brothers. Its technology tree has climbed up like a cheat, and it has now reached the point where it can try to build ironclads.

Zheng Zhilong didn't understand Europe at all. In his eyes, those yellow-haired people were still idiots who drove sailboats and loaded their ships with cargo. They had to pay sea dues to them to be able to travel freely in the South China Sea.

As everyone knows, people can now build ships. The firearms in their hands are not much worse than those in the hands of Ming soldiers. Especially artillery, the latest intelligence shows that the British are already experimenting with howitzers. It is estimated that before long, howitzers will no longer be

A unique weapon in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

It is actually quite difficult to defeat European countries, especially European countries with a tradition of alliances.

As soon as the news came, Li Xiao had a suspect in his mind. That was Russia!

The polar bear has the motivation, the means, and the ability to carry out this assassination. Although there is no detailed information on the scene, Li Xiao has already made plans in his mind.

Because this time Zheng Sen's accident happened, the one who benefited the most was Russia.

"Let Fuzhu serve as the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Ming Dynasty and go to Paris to finish the remaining matters." Li Xiao's words comforted Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong has a lot of sons. Although he cares about Zheng Sen, he cares more about the interests of the Zheng family.

Seeing Li Xiao appoint Fu Zhu as the new ambassador plenipotentiary, a stone fell in my heart. In the end, this official position still fell on the heads of the Zheng family.

"Chen Tingjing! Immediately prepare a report and send it to Li Xiu, asking his navy to fully assist the Ottomans. Although it is not suitable to dispatch airships, naval guns can bombard the coast.

Just use the Russian army's position as a shooting range and shoot the hell out of me." Li Xiao's domineering voice echoed in the office.

"No!" The young Chen Tingjing bowed deeply to Li Xiao and then hurried out to send the report.

"Young people are very capable!" Looking at the handsome Chen Tingjing, Zheng Zhilong was a little jealous.

He knew that this little guy came from the old Chen Fu's family. Thinking about all the dudes in his family, except for Zheng Sen, he was the one who stood out. But now, his whereabouts are still unknown, and he may have been killed. Zheng Zhilong's heart became more and more...

It feels bitter.

"Mr. Chen's health is not good either. Although this Chen Tingjing is only twenty years old, he is still outstanding. He came to me as an adjutant and it took him two months and he was quite comfortable." Li Xiao was quite satisfied with Chen Tingjing.

"You should be busy, I won't delay you anymore." He saw Shunzi standing at the door with a coat in his hand, glancing at the watch on his wrist from time to time. Zheng Zhilong hurriedly left. Despite his age, he could still tell that Li Xiao was in a hurry.

Arranged.

Li Xiao did have arrangements, and Changxing Island engine miniaturization has made gratifying progress. Newton is Newton, and it has only been two years. The engine that can only be installed on a tank or tractor has been miniaturized to the point that it can be installed on a vehicle.

.

In order to increase the specific power, Newton used gasoline with a lower ignition point. The Xu brothers simply called this new vehicle a car.

Soon, Li Xiao will leave for Changxing Island to see the latest cars manufactured!

Because of black oil, asphalt roads in the capital are nothing new. Every morning, Li Xiao can see the mighty army of bicycles going to work facing the rising sun while standing on the street.

Now not only the roads in Beijing have begun to be asphalt roads, but also the roads in Tianjin, Jinan, Jinzhou, Xi'an and other places have begun to be paved with asphalt.

Even in the bungalow area of ​​the capital, after the common people discovered the waterproof function of asphalt, they also put a layer of asphalt on the roof.

As a result, the style of tile-roofed houses that had dominated the capital for hundreds of years began to change. Bungalows appeared in old residential areas, and new-style buildings and houses with asphalt roofs appeared.

It has to be said that the waterproof performance of this kind of house seems to be better. Moreover, it saves materials and labor.

Putting Zheng Sen's matter in his mind for the time being, Li Xiao left the Marshal's Mansion in a carriage and headed for the airship landing site.

The carriage drove very steadily on the asphalt road, but Li Xiao's body still slowly swayed with the carriage. After all, it was a carriage, but it was still not as stable as a car.

But Li Xiao was also curious, what would the car made by Newton look like?

If it is true as the Xu brothers said, then the carriages under their butts are probably about to be eliminated. If cars are manufactured in Changxing Island, they must get one for themselves.

At that time, your license plate will be called car No. 1. If you want to be more awesome, you will be more awesome. If you want to be more popular, you will be more popular.

I was thinking that the carriage had arrived at the airship landing site.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why, the old ghost from the Zheng family is looking for you?" Master Ao has been waiting at the airship landing site for a long time. He heard that Zheng Zhilong went to find Li Xiao. Thinking that the life or death of Zheng Sen's child was uncertain, he was also at the landing site.

Wait with peace of mind.

"Hey...! They came to me. Something happened to Zheng Sen's kid, and everyone felt bad. I asked Zheng Sen's brother Fu Zhu to replace him. I hope Zheng Sen will be fine." Ao Ye mentioned Zheng Sen and Li Xiao.

I had to sigh.

"Ji people have their own destiny, and nothing will happen to the child. Do you know who did it? I, Lao Ao, have long wanted to practice!"

"You want to practice? Let's forget it. When we get to Changxing Island in a while, if you can beat that person, I will let you go out to practice."

"Damn it, who is tired of living? Who dares to compete with me?" Hearing what Li Xiao said, Master Ao suddenly became angry. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, who dares to compete with him for the opportunity to go to war?

"We'll know when we get there, keep it secret now!" Li Xiao smiled mischievously and began to pretend to sleep with his eyes closed.

"You...!" Seeing Li Xiao pretending to be dead, Ao Canghai had no choice but to pick him up and interrogate him like before.

Because the load of diesel airships is much lighter, the specific power is also much higher. The flying speed is getting higher and higher. The voyage that used to take three or four hours has been shortened by more than half.

The only bad thing is that the smell of diesel is a bit strong. Most people don't like this smell, and they will vomit if they smell it too much. Ao Ye is different from others, he enjoys this smell very much.

The airship landed safely on Changxing Island, and as soon as he stepped off the airship, Mr. Ao knew that some guy who didn't know he was going to die was rushing to fight with him.

"You're not dead yet!" Master Ao punched Man Gui in the chest.

"If you don't die, how can I be willing to die?" Man Gui said and punched him in return.

"Two old immortals, let's go and see what good things they have come up with." The sea breeze was a bit cold, so Li Xiao put on the coat he was holding in his hands.

"I have seen it before. This thing is not as good as a tank. It can only travel on the road, and it will be blinded when it leaves the road. It is better than a tank. It can run no matter what kind of terrain it is.

Brother Xiao, do you really want to turn our First Cavalry Division into a unit of tanks and armored vehicles?" Man Gui unexpectedly saluted Li Xiao when he saw him.

"I said, Lao Man, please stop flattering me. The production of tanks and armored vehicles is so small right now. I don't want the two pre-established tank regiments. But I have already booked the rest. You are not allowed to compete with me!

"Master Ao bared his teeth at Master Man angrily and made a sound of protecting food from his mouth.

"What's the matter? If you stay in the capital, all the good things will be yours. I am a cavalry, but look, is there any way for the cavalry to survive now? As long as two or three machine guns are set up, 1,800 cavalry can be killed every minute.

It's over.

Now, the fucking Russians are starting to have machine guns too. There's a lot of pressure from the north! Just give me some."

"Damn, is this old man looking for trouble again? Don't worry, I'll go do it and avenge you!" Mr. Ao rolled up his arms and sleeves, looking like he was going to hurt his friend.

"Don't come here! I'm going to decide on this batch of tanks and armored vehicles." Man didn't give in.

"I'm telling you, Lao Man, you are the only ones who don't know a lot of words. Even if I give these tanks and armored vehicles to you, you won't be able to drive them. Just give them to me!" Mr. Ao patted Mr. Man on the shoulder and said,

The evil smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
