Chapter 354(1/2)
“A few Germans were captured on the front line and they crossed over to fight guerrillas in Ukraine.
One guy is a lieutenant!"
After breakfast, Li Xiao and Ao Ye sat on the sofa together and listened to the briefing.
"Fuck! We've all been attacked. What's going on? I'm going to fight with the First Army?" The heating in the office was very good. Mr. Ao was wearing a waistcoat and had a thick cigar in his mouth.
"Forget it, why bother in the middle of winter? We have been fighting for three years, let the brothers rest.
It’s not like you don’t know what winter in Russia is like. It’s so icy and snowy that even rocks can crack.
Besides, we also sent people over to harass them.
It's just that the people we sent are quite capable, so there's no need for our people to go over and direct them.
But the battle was still good. In the deep mountains and old forests, a thousand or hundreds of people could be surrounded at once." Li Xiao also had a big cigar in his mouth.
When these two brothers are together, they either smoke or drink. In other words, this is the only hobby that men have.
"Well! Not to mention, in the mountainous and forested landscape, it is really beautiful to be able to fight such a beautiful battle.
There are not many troops in our First Army who can achieve such a record, but the Mongolian regiment is really quite capable.
Should we form another Korean delegation? If you weren't wary of Japan, I would really like to form a Japanese delegation.
Those people are really not afraid of death when they fight." Mr. Ao has always admired the fighting power of the Japanese people, and he has mentioned the matter of forming a Japanese regiment and even a Japanese division to Li Xiao several times.
"Master Ao, I've said it so many times, don't mention this kind of thing anymore. A country like Japan has finally become an environment that values commerce over military affairs.
Nowadays, Japanese warriors no longer carry swords when going out, and fewer people wear their hair in samurai buns.
This change is not easy, and it is not easy for them to give up the martial spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years.
In countries like Japan, Korea, Cochin, Burma, or India, we must slowly eliminate their martial spirit.
This starts with destroying their history and destroying their culture step by step.
Some people are already doing this kind of thing. Now the most popular thing in Japan and Korea is to speak Ming Dynasty dialect and wear Ming Dynasty costumes.
Even the Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival of the Ming Dynasty have become their main festivals.
Only by destroying their culture and castrating their martial spirit can our descendants live comfortably in the future.
An analogy is, if there is a tiger in the forest, there cannot be any wolves, otherwise there will not be enough food for the animals in the forest."
"But you still formed Indian divisions one after another! In the Middle East, Europe, Egypt, and Africa, you have already used ten Indian divisions."
Mr. Ao was a little curious, since the Indians could form a division, why couldn't the Japanese? He really wanted to form a Japanese division and put it into the battlefield.
"India is different. You know that Indians are divided into many ethnic groups.
These people have different languages and races. Sikhs and Gurkhas are completely different things. They each have their own language and writing, and their living customs are also different.
Therefore, we can split India into dozens of countries.
But Japan can’t do that!
The four islands of the Japanese Kingdom share the same culture and race. Although there were separate regimes during the Warring States Period, they were still one nation in general.
It is difficult to divide such a country.
Therefore, we can only enslave and dwarf them. Kill their culture and make them follow our customs.
Only in this way can we rule them for a long time. For countries like Japan, we must be very energetic.
Don’t forget, just a hundred years ago, it was these people who forced out Marshal Qi in the Ming Dynasty!
From a country where all the people were martial artists and could fight the Liaodong Cavalry and the Qi Army in a neck-and-neck battle on Mount Kumgang, to now no one is wearing a sword on the streets. This change is not easy.
If you do well, don't arouse their martial nerves anymore. Just let them release their energy desperately on sake and women's bellies until they die!"
"You boy, this trick is really vicious. Then I will organize a Korean regiment. Korea has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and its surrender to the Ming Dynasty is as clear as the sun and the moon." This time, Mr. Ao was determined.
Get a Foreign Legion.
"Master Ao, it's not impossible to form a Korean regiment. But I kindly remind you that if you really drag those Korean soldiers to Russia, don't get angry when you make a joke."
"Is that the case with North Korean soldiers?"
"That's not all! You have also fought in North Korea, and you know their fighting power better than I do."
"It's better to forget it!" Mr. Ao had fought in Korea and knew how pissy the Koreans were. These people would brag about one of them and get into a fight with each other. Many would throw away their guns and run away!
This kind of people will definitely not have the same record as the Mongolian regiment when fighting against the Germans...
"If you must use it, I suggest you go to Guangxi to recruit troops. The wolf soldiers in Guangxi are more powerful, and you also saw the white-pole soldiers we saw by the Hun River.
These soldiers are all good.
There is one thing that is not good. The Guangxi soldiers are all from the south, and they are not well adapted to the Russian climate.
If we really want to organize them into troops, I would also prefer to deploy them in the Mediterranean." Li Xiao said while smoking a cigar.
"Never mind! Let's go to Guangxi to recruit troops." Thinking of the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers back then, Ao Ye immediately wanted to go to Guangxi to recruit troops.
The formation of a regiment was not a big deal. The matter of the Guangxi regiment was settled amidst the fuss between the two elders.
"Actually, fighting is sometimes like gambling. I heard that you went to Lao Wu's casino a few days ago and lost tens of thousands of silver dollars in a row. The last time you lost more than two million silver dollars!
Have you ever thought about what will happen if you lose more than two million yuan again?" Master Ao suddenly brought the topic to the time at Laowu Casino.
"Ha! If you lose two million, I'll bet twenty million. If you lose another twenty million, I'll bet two hundred million.
If I lose the bet of 200 million, the worst I can do is to bet 20 billion. If I lose the 200 million bet, I can bet 20 billion.
The entire Ming Empire will do the trick for me, I'm afraid of a bird." Li Xiao smiled contemptuously.
"What if we lose in the end?" Mr. Ao was a little strange. He didn't understand why Li Xiao wanted to bet like this.
"That's okay, then I'll get Lao Wu. Just Lao Wu, look at how I've lost the entire Ming Dynasty to you.
From now on, you will live in this handsome mansion, and I can just move out and build a thatched shed.
Do you think Lao Wu dares to take over the Ming Dynasty?" Li Xiao looked at Master Ao with an evil smile.
"Haha! His hands shook for a moment, and he opened your head and scared you to death. Let him take over the Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid if your words reach his home, he will be so scared that he commits suicide at home overnight." Mr. Ao thought for a while, shook his head and smiled.
It's no wonder that Li Xiao would bet like this. The entire Ming Dynasty was at the bottom, and every time it was blocked, it would be ten times the last time.
No matter how many times you win, as long as he wins once, he can strip you of all your capital and profits.
You really can't lose this bet.
As for letting Lao Wu settle in the Marshal's Mansion, that's a joke.
He really dared to agree, and he guaranteed that not even a cockroach would survive in the whole family immediately.
“Three years of war brought down France and England, and also dismembered the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Hungary split into Hungary and Moldova, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia, and they were all broken into pieces.
Many of the goals of the war have actually been achieved.
Because of this war, our national strength has also been greatly depleted. Although we have not been fully mobilized, many domestic projects have been stopped.
There are also many factories that have no choice but to switch from civilian products to producing military products.
The monthly output value is quite a lot, but these are all spent by the imperial court. In the past few years, Europe's foreign trade has collapsed.
Customs tariffs have been falling year after year, and we have mobilized two million young and strong laborers in the north to fight the war.
This has caused labor problems in many places!
These are all problems that Ming Dynasty needs to solve.
Slow down! After a year and a half, all existing projects have been completed. The policy of using land to support government offices has also been implemented.
Let's move on to the next stage of the war!
In fact, the European War is, as you said, a huge gamble.
At the beginning, there were Bismarck, Frederick, Napoleon, the Emperor of England, the Pope, and the Emperor of Spain on the gaming table.
But now, only Ming and Deutsch are left on the gambling table.
In other words, as long as we kick the Germans off the gambling table, the world is ours.
We can afford to make the current bet, but the Germans cannot afford it.
They were busy quelling the rising resistance movements in France, as well as the British and Austrian resistance movements.
We also have to deal with the endless guerrillas in Poland!
Our intelligence shows that the Germans were facing losses of more than two hundred men every day.
In other words, almost 100,000 people will be lost in one year.
This is only human losses, not to mention property losses.
A few days ago, in Berlin's most prosperous department store, a French prostitute actually hid an explosive bag on her body and detonated it in the crowd.
A dozen people were killed in one explosion, and more than twenty others were injured.
