Chapter 207(1/3)
Under the morning sun, the clouds in the sky seemed to be ignited, hanging high in the sky and burning.
But Odessa is really burning in the morning light.
The fire not only engulfed the entire port area of Odessa, but even the city of Odessa burned.
When the arsenal ship had nothing to explode, it threw the last batch of rockets into the city of Odessa.
A 333mm rocket dropped from the sky, and even if it didn't explode, it could destroy half a building by just smashing it.
What's more, each rocket is loaded with a full 900 kilograms of high explosives.
The city of Odessa was instantly engulfed by violent explosions and thick smoke.
Many Odessa people who did not have time to retreat were reduced to piles of minced meat.
Li Xiao and Li Xiu on the Kunlun Mountains would not care. Since the Hebrew nation chose to join the war, they must bear the consequences and suffering of joining the war.
In this world, there is no reason to just take advantage without paying for it.
Moreover, the Hebrews were the nation that Li Xiao hated most.
Nothing else but the rare respite after the winter battle.
The Hebrews sent a huge number of guerrillas to the rear of the Ming army!
They were all sent out by airships when it was dark, and these people committed murder and arson behind the Ming army, doing all kinds of evil.
The most annoying thing is that Russia is a sparsely populated place with dense forests everywhere.
These people hide in the woods during the day and come out to do evil at night.
Once, they even got into trouble with the Ukrainians who were following them. They pretended to be Ukrainian coolies and attacked a Ming army transport convoy.
That time, an entire company of Ming soldiers were killed by them.
They even cut off the heads of captured Ming soldiers and hung them on trees as an insult.
Therefore, Li Xiao hated this nation, and also began to hate their cities, their villages, and everything about them.
Now, Li Xiao really wants to wipe the country of Israel off the face of the earth.
Therefore, Li Dingguo's Third Tank Division began to march into Crimea.
Therefore, the Ottoman soldiers who had persisted on the Sevastopol beach for eight months received the strongest support from the Ming Dynasty.
Not only does it have fire support from the arsenal ship, but it also has the blessing of the 480mm naval gun from the battleship Tianshan.
Any solid bunker or fortification is as useless as dregs with the support of a 480mm howitzer.
As soon as the shot fell, those bunkers flew directly into the sky.
Li Xiao liked to watch such shelling scenes because it meant the enemy's destruction and our army's victory.
With the support of battleships and arsenal ships, there are not many Hebrew firepower support points along the coast of Sevastopol.
The Ottomans launched one fierce attack after another towards Sevastopol.
"Brother, even if you destroy all the effective forces of the coalition forces.
It just stopped the war for a short time. Twenty years later, there might be an even more brutal war waiting for the Ming Dynasty."
Li Xiu looked at Odessa in the sea of fire and said quietly.
"How do you say that?" Li Xiao frowned.
"religion!
You don’t understand the status of religion in Europe.
Two or three hundred years earlier, the Pope could have the emperor of a country kneel in front of his door for seven days and seven nights.
Even now, the power of religion is not as strong as before. But they can still incite the hatred of the people at the bottom against us!
This time the coalition forces besieged us, and the Holy See in the Vatican played a big role.
If the Vatican's position is not changed, I think whatever victory we achieve will be just a twenty-year armistice.
When the next generation of European children grow up, they will hate and oppose us in various ways.
This will lead to the next war.
Even if the Ming Dynasty continues to defeat them, under the bewitchment of the Holy See, the next generation of Europeans will still hate us.
From generation to generation, hatred will become deeply rooted.
What will we do when that time comes? Are we going to have to cut leeks every twenty years?"
Li Xiao blinked and looked at the blazing flames in the distance.
What Li Xiu said makes sense, the Holy See is a big problem.
Since the Holy See can plunge Europe into the Middle Ages that lasted for thousands of years, it can naturally also beguile Europeans to fight against the Ming Dynasty generation after generation.
On the frontal battlefield, Ming Dynasty would certainly not be afraid of them.
Can……
It is hard to say what those brains indoctrinated with fanatical religious ideas will do.
They would take knives and chop randomly in the crowd. Even if they were beaten to death by the police officers who came over, they still had no regrets.
They don't feel the slightest sense of guilt for those innocent people whose lives were taken away.
There will also be people who drive their cars through the squares of the capital and kill innocent passers-by without realizing it.
What's more, they will carry explosive bags on their bodies and blend into the crowd to blow themselves up.
What should you do if such a situation occurs?
There is a man who can commit a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no man who can take a thousand days to guard against a thief.
If the religious issue is not resolved, Europe will still be a huge powder keg.
As long as the Pope ascends and shouts, this powder keg of hundreds of millions of people will explode.
I don’t know how many people will be injured by then.
"Do you have a good solution?" Li Xiao looked at Li Xiu.
"The Pope has sent someone here to talk to you. The location is in Sicily!"
"Sicily!" Li Xiao smiled.
This place is a bit special. It is currently occupied by the Ming Dynasty, but the people living there are all Italians.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Pope, who had a particularly profound influence on Italy, chose this place.
"We can have talks, but... I think we should do it on my time and at the place I proposed.
In addition, the Pope is not qualified to negotiate terms with me on an equal footing.
Because he doesn’t have that strength.”
An evil smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Li Xiu clearly felt something was wrong.
Ever since I was little, whenever my eldest brother showed this kind of smile, something big would happen.
And Li Xiu's major events were all accompanied by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"I want the Pope to know that the reason the war is still going on is entirely because they have so many young men who are being burned like firewood.
Even if they hide in Rome, they are not safe in the Vatican."
"Brother, are you going to attack the Pope?" Li Xiu's eyes widened suddenly. He knew the consequences of this matter, which would be an endless war between the Ming Dynasty and European Christians.
The land of Europe will always be hostile to the Ming Dynasty.
"Winning or losing depends on strength. If the Europeans can defeat us, they don't have to bother to come to me for peace talks.
I am qualified to sit at the negotiating table because I have millions of Ming warriors under my command.
The most powerful warship in the world has indestructible cannons and tough tanks.
What does the Pope have?
He is worthy of negotiating on an equal footing with me!"
Li Xiu nodded. The eldest brother's strong self-confidence comes from Ming Dynasty's powerful force.
And he, Li Xiu, is also a member of the armed group and a senior member.
"If it weren't for the consideration of future generations and the need to pay too much blood for senseless violence, I wouldn't even bother to talk to him."
"Brother, do you agree?"
"Um!
But I have to negotiate with him in my own way, at the time and place I decide.
Please don't interfere in this matter.
It's not good for you to interfere too much in this kind of thing."
