Chapter 210(1/2)
Li Xiao was wearing short sleeves and big pants, lying leisurely on the beach chair.
In front of you is the rough Mediterranean Sea, and across the Mediterranean Sea is Athens.
A little further away is the famous Aegean Sea.
This is a famous tourist destination, and it was also a must-go place for young couples on their wedding trip.
Li Xiao was not in the mood for romance, only tired.
On the Russian battlefield, the coalition forces have been tortured by the armored forces and have completely lost their temper.
They no longer have the desire to attack. Anyway, no matter how sharp the attack is, the Ming army will retreat in large strides.
If you hit the cotton hard, you will definitely get beaten.
After being beaten a lot and getting bruised and swollen, you will become more cautious when you step into the ring again.
The Russian battlefield has ceased, and the coalition forces have actually lost their offensive capabilities.
Next, Li Xiao started to attack.
But before attacking, Li Xiao wants to take out the damn pope who is always making trouble from the Vatican.
If you're obedient, that's it. If you're disobedient...hehe!
I'll just kill him!
I don't care whether you will take religious revenge. If it does, Li Xiao won't mind killing to stop this kind of revenge.
If one person doesn't stop, kill a hundred; if a hundred people don't stop, kill 10,000; if 10,000 people don't stop, kill a million.
Anyway, as long as the Ming army defeated the European army, many people could play the role of executioners.
The Russian army is pretty good!
Today's little Tsar Paul spends all day in a luxurious room in the Kremlin.
Inside, there were various toys given to him by Daming.
There are also a dozen Ming playmates who spend all day thinking about how to make him happy, and there are also servants who can provide almost everything.
Paul even has a world where most children don't have electronic toys.
For example, a tank is only as big as a millstone and can be controlled with a handle.
There are also table-sized model airplanes that can fly into the sky.
There is even a Ming Dynasty's most high-end radio, which plays all kinds of music and jokes all day long.
As long as he likes it, it's not difficult to invite singers and joke tellers to perform live.
Russian food was too coarse for the rulers of the great Romanov dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty used airships to transport various delicacies to Russia.
The last time Li Xiao went to the Kremlin, little Paul could happily talk to Li Xiao in Ming dialect, and treated Li Xiao to a meal of authentic Beijing fried noodles.
Reading between the lines when talking to Li Xiao, he quite recognized the great and splendid Chinese culture.
He had even become obsessed with Ming calligraphy, and even showed Li Xiao his copybook.
Li Xiao was a little embarrassed because his handwriting was not as good as that of the foreign children.
I have to say that Paul is a genius when it comes to calligraphy.
He has even begun to worry about his yellow hair, hoping to grow black hair like Li Xiao.
And he also needs black eyes so that he can look like the great Ming Dynasty man.
Li Xiao couldn't help him with this matter, after all, he was still the Tsar of Russia.
It is indeed technically difficult to make the face look like a Ming Dynasty person.
However, Li Xiao told him the ancient Chinese philosophy, which is that as long as you believe in your heart that you are a Ming Dynasty person, then you are a Ming Dynasty person.
People in the Ming Dynasty are not distinguished by the color of their hair and skin, but by whether they like the traditions of the Ming Dynasty and whether they are willing to live in the Ming Dynasty's way of life.
If you are willing to do all of these, then you are a Ming Dynasty person.
Paul was very moved, and he vowed to be a good Ming Dynasty person, read more Ming Dynasty books, and do more things that Ming Dynasty people would do.
For example, make some dumplings for Li Xiao.
Although the dumplings were ugly and looked like lumps of Shaomai, Li Xiao still ate them all.
"Dad, drink some beer." Li Lin brought over a box with ice-cold beer in it.
Training with the Marine Corps these days has turned Li Lin's skin into a wheat color.
Li Xiao likes this kind of skin color very much. Unlike his own, who stays in Moscow all day, his skin is a bit sickly white.
"I can see that you have a great time here." Li Xiao smiled.
This also gave my son a chance to relax during the war.
Crete is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty declared sovereignty over this place!
There is not a single foreigner on this island, all are natives of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the army, there are also more than 10,000 Ming people living here.
At the beginning, this was a military city.
Everything belongs to the army, and these soldiers who are thousands of kilometers away from home are provided with food, drink, and food by the army.
You can't spend much money on the island.
Some smart people opened a small shop here to sell some daily necessities such as soap and toothpaste.
After a long time, I will bring in some drinks and other things and set up a barbecue stall outside.
After the soldiers finished their boring training, they would come here to have a drink.
The salary of the Ming Dynasty army was good, and they did not pay on credit.
The soldiers were not stingy with their money.
Over time, these active-minded people make money.
After making money, more people will come to the island.
Life on the island has become increasingly prosperous.
It wasn't until a barbecue restaurant opened and a singer from the Ming Dynasty was invited that the island's headquarters became vigilant.
If this continues, someone will open a brothel on the island.
So, a ban was issued.
That is to ban women from going to the island!
However, the ban did not last long. The businessmen were not soldiers. They always tried various ways to bring their families over.
It's easy to make money on this island. If you have a pretty girl as a waiter, the stall's business will be much better.
Over time, the ban became a piece of waste paper.
As the number of people landing on the island gradually increased, the number of women also began to explode.
Now, there are almost two thousand Ming women living here on the entire island of Crete.
The prostitute with the door ajar can't be stopped.
Later, they were simply relaxed, but these brothels needed to report to the headquarters.
The prostitution with the door ajar has become an open matter.
They don't have to pay taxes, but they need to go to a medical officer every month to get a health certificate.
Once proven to be ill, they will be sent back to Daming immediately.
At the same time, her patrons also have to undergo the most rigorous physical examinations.
Li Lin told Li Xiao some interesting things about the island, including the women who came to the island to make money.
Li Xiao sighed helplessly!
This kind of thing, he can send those women away with just one order.
But soldiers are still soldiers after all, and most of them here are strong young men. If you ask them to abstain from sex for a few years, this is a violation of human nature.
And these women can also make a lot of money here, and then return to the Ming Dynasty to find a good family and work as good people.
This kind of thing has been unsolvable no matter in the past dynasties.
Even if Li Xiao is a commander, he can only turn a blind eye.
The Commander of Crete did nothing wrong!
"Over there is Athens, where Zheng Sen is still negotiating with German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop without any sincerity."
Li Xiao took the beer handed over by Li Lin and took a sip. A cold and refreshing feeling spread from his throat to his stomach.
