But this was on an airship, so Li Xiao could only hold back.

"We have garrisons in Crete and Cyrenaica, and we can order them to directly participate in the war.

Israel has just been established as a state, and even now, the army only has tens of thousands of people. With the strength of our Ming Dynasty Marine Corps, Israel is not worth mentioning at all."

Shi Dewei was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army. Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire was of no use, he might as well go shirtless.

"A cannon fires a thousand taels of gold!

There are so many projects in the country now, how can we still have money to fight the war?" Li Xiao sighed helplessly. Although a large number of basic projects have boosted the Ming Dynasty's economy.

But the initial investment was too great, to the point where the Ming Dynasty was sucking blood from all over the world and was unable to make ends meet.

If you want to suck blood from all over the world, you must have the capital to suck blood.

The Liao army is the blood-sucking capital in Li Xiao’s hands!

As long as the Liao army remains the most powerful army in the world, the Ming Dynasty will be able to carry out crazy economic plunder all over the world without restraint.

For Li Xiao, there is absolutely no force that can compete with the Ming Dynasty in the world. Anyone who shows signs of doing so must be killed immediately.

This is why Li Xiao encouraged the Austro-Hungarian Empire to invade Israel.

But the bloody facts educated Li Xiao. After thousands of years of preparation, the Hebrews have taken root in every corner of Europe, and many people have the ability to influence the political direction of Europe.

The ideal is full, but the reality is cruel.

Li Xiao's plan to annihilate the country of Israel completely failed. Moreover, even if the Ming army personally participated in the war, it would not be able to fundamentally solve the problem of the Hebrews.

"...!" Shi Dewei didn't think as much as Li Xiao thought, but he also knew that Ming Dynasty's current expenses were really too high.

Back in the capital, Li Xiao immediately called Zhang Huangyan and Ai Husheng and asked them to immediately approve the construction of the Central Asia Railway.

"no!

Marshal, I have no money!

Look at how many projects there were in Ming Dynasty from south to north.

In Liaodong, you said that every village will be connected to roads, which will cost a lot of money.

In Shandong, you said you want to build schools in every village. This is another big expense!

Wuhan and Jiangyin are building bridges across the Yangtze River.

Guanzhong is building a railway to Sichuan!

The seven provinces south of the Yangtze River not only need to build railways, but also build roads according to your requirements.

Right!

This is a bargain for the second master who wants money. The second master wants to build new battleships. And two of them will be built at once!

Cao Wenzhao also asked me for money, and his third division also wanted to change its equipment. A tank cost 8,000 Ming silver coins, and an armored car cost 3,500 Ming silver coins.

There are also self-propelled artillery that are extremely expensive. These are all money.

Now we have to build the Central Asia Railway. My commander, where will the money come from? If this continues, you will have no choice but to hire someone else.

I can’t settle the accounts!”

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Ai Husheng exploded. He walked directly in front of Li Xiao and threatened to resign.

"This railway must be repaired, and it needs to be repaired quickly. I think it can be used in three to five years at most." Li Xiao ignored the angry Ai Husheng, but took a sip of his cigar and said something.

If Ai Husheng shut up.

"Commander, what do you mean... is this railway of great use?" Zhang Huangyan, who had been silent, pulled Ai Husheng and asked Li Xiao.

"The plan to encourage Austria-Hungary to attack Israel failed, and the Hebrews successfully influenced Frederick and Napoleon.

Prussia and France simultaneously supported Israel.

I estimate that after at least five years, Israel will begin to affect Ming Dynasty's interests in Europe. At that time, it will be time for us to send troops to Europe.

In the past five years, domestic infrastructure construction will also come to an end.

At that time, we will send troops to Russia. Using the Principality of Moscow as our advance base, we will wipe out all the Hebrew forces in Europe.

Most likely, we will be at war with all of Europe.

Of course, we will also have helpers.

First, Russia will follow us, and so will the Ottoman Empire. They will also recruit Gurkha soldiers from northern India to prepare for future wars.

This may be an unprecedented war, and we will invest more than one million troops in this war.

The result of the war is either that the Ming Dynasty gives up control of Europe, or that we wipe out the Hebrew influence in Europe.
