Special operations?

Go directly to the enemy headquarters!

Even if I use tanks to tear open the defense line, I can still overthrow the enemy's command post.

Is there any need to send a group of infantrymen to kill people all the way in an airship?

How fast can an airship fly, stay in the sky for so long, and make so much noise? Are you a deaf person or a fool?

"In my humble position, I will do my best to repay the kindness of the commander-in-chief." Nian Gengyao's straight back was no longer straight, but he knelt on the ground, with something crystal clear rolling in his eyes.

Looking at Nian Gengyao's leaving figure, Li Xiao smoked a cigar and stared for a long time.

"Dad, do you care about this person very much?" Li Lin asked after seeing Li Xiao standing there for a long time.

"It seems that young people are pure. The older you get, the less pure your thoughts become." Li Xiao took a deep breath of his cigar.

He believed that the Nian Gengyao in front of him was pure in mind and just wanted to realize his revenge.

But what about Nian Gengyao, a man with many theories in history?

"Dad, this is the first time you have said this to a person." Li Lin became even more interested in Nian Gengyao.

"You remember!

This person cannot be reused. Once he gains power, the words "arrogant and domineering" can almost be written on his face.

Unlike Ao Ye and Man Ye, although they are more arrogant, they are not domineering.

This is a matter of the heart, and it is almost impossible to change it through external forces.

A special forces commander is enough to give full play to his talents. No matter how big he is, he may not be able to submit to the control of the Chinese government."

The results of the capital meeting were quickly communicated to Li Xiu.

Faced with the order to disarm Gibraltar, Li Xiu gritted his teeth.

Gibraltar is the gateway to the Mediterranean, and he knows the importance of it better than anyone else. Now that it has to be handed over to the Moors, Li Xiu is unwilling to accept it.

But the telegram sent by Li Xiao made it very clear that France could support naval ships in the ports of Toulon, Marseille, and Toulouse.

In other words, there is no point in holding on to Gibraltar.

It would be better to retract the battle line directly to Crete and rely on the superiority of navy and air force to maintain the security of the Eastern Mediterranean.

As long as the Eastern Mediterranean is safe, there is no need to worry too much about things in the Middle East.

"According to the general's wishes, withdraw the troops! Leave more bolt-action rifles for the Moors. I hope they can resist the Spanish for a while."

Li Xiu sighed helplessly. This was the first time that the Ming army had abandoned such an important pass.

"Second Master!

Should even Malta withdraw its defenses? If Malta withdraws its defenses, we will not have the power to block the Tunis Strait.

In this way, enemy warships may slip into the Eastern Mediterranean."

"There is no other way but to deploy more airships in the air.

Just hold on for one more month, and the airport on Crete will be repaired in one month.

As long as the airport is repaired and there are planes stationed there, there is no need to worry about enemy warships!

At that time, Crete was an unsinkable aircraft carrier."

Li Xiu walked to the huge glass curtain and looked at the busy construction site.

There are only five giant cargo ships of 500,000 tons in Ming Dynasty. Four of them were built as oil tankers to continuously transport Middle East oil back to the Ming Dynasty, which is increasingly dependent on oil.

The only one is used as a cargo ship.

Just this ship can pull over a mountain of supplies, as well as some strange construction machinery.

There are bulldozers pushing large rollers, which directly press the ground into a strong and flat surface.

There are also large forklifts that can shovel hundreds of kilograms of soil away with one shovel.

Forklifts can facilitate unloading, and there is also a machine with large claws that can dig deep trenches in the ground!

I have the impression that building such an airport requires as many workers as ants working day and night.

But now, we only see hundreds of machines and hundreds of engineers working there.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals. What I said is indeed a wise saying." Li Xiu turned around.

Such a project would require at least tens of thousands of people if it were purely practical.

But in China, just one engineering regiment was mobilized and everything was solved.

“Such an airport is being built not only here, but also in China!

It seems that places like Gyeonggi, Xi'an, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinan are all building airports.

Construction is also underway in Hanoi, Cochin, Singapore, Bangkok in Siam, Ceylon, Bombay, and Cairo.

Now our planes need to be shipped by ship, as long as these airports are repaired.

The plane can be refueled all the way from Daming by itself!

I heard that it takes at most two days to get from Gyeonggi to our island of Crete. It’s only one day slower than telegraph!”

Chen Laohu has completely surrendered to the endless military technology!

The power of the aircraft carrier has shocked him beyond measure. It is said that aircraft taking off from land.

Because there is a long enough runway, the maximum takeoff weight is heavier.

This way you can carry more fuel and ammunition!

In other words, aircraft taking off from land are more powerful than aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers.

The most important thing is that there are complete navigation facilities on the ground.

And there are several runways, so even if you land a plane at night, it won't be like an aircraft carrier. If one plane crashes down, the other planes will have no choice but to fall into the sea.

Then there was the bizarre incident of sending a boat to fish out the pilot!

"The soldiers who returned from Gibraltar returned directly to Crete. After they withdrew, the island of Malta also withdrew its defenses.

Crete is our last line of defense.

By the way! Where have Master Man and his fleet gone?"

Li Xiu thought that the First Cavalry Division led by Man Gui was crossing the English Channel by boat.

This was a military adventure. Even though there were three battleships and five cruisers, Li Xiu was still worried!
