The total casualties of our army were 5,313, of which 1,320 were killed.

There were 3,992 injured and 735 missing.

That’s all our casualties last month!

One thing I want to remind you is that our logistics support system in Ming Dynasty is far better than yours.

After soldiers are injured, they will receive the best treatment as soon as possible.

If the injuries are serious, we will use an airship to send them directly back to Ming Dynasty for treatment.

Therefore, the recovery rate of our injured Ming soldiers is very high.

This is different from you. Once your soldiers are injured, they will really have a narrow escape from death.

To tell you the truth, our Ming Dynasty has a population of 410 million.

Now we have only mobilized three million people, which means they have not used their full strength.

If we wish, we can mobilize one million people to directly fight at any time.

Notice!!

These were sent without damaging the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. I guarantee that everyone is between twenty and thirty years old.

How old are you for conscription?

As far as I know, France has implemented universal military service.

In other words, adult men from the age of fourteen to sixty are all combatants.

Germany is better, but not much better.

As for the good-for-nothings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they have even reached the point of being insane between the ages of thirteen and sixty-five.

How are you in Italy? Or fifteen to fifty-five?

The men went to war, and the women and children worked in the fields.

Even the big animals are on the battlefield, and you don't even have enough animals to work in your fields.

The war has only been going on for a little more than a year now. If it goes on for another three years, or even five years.

hehe!

At that time, Europeans would starve to death in droves.

Soldiers on the front line will also face the danger of having no food, no ammunition, and no uniforms.

I really want to know, Your Holiness.

At that time, how did your god save the world?

Can you conjure food? Coal? Or can you conjure cotton, and ammunition that is never enough?

You can't change anything, you can only watch groups of people, old people, children and women, being starved to death, killed, and even cannibalized.

Young and beautiful girls will be trafficked by human traffickers and sold to far away places.

Just like the Spanish and Portuguese sold black Africans!

The Ming Dynasty is very willing to accept these young girls. We have specialized talents to train them into qualified prostitutes to serve the men of the Ming Dynasty.

As for buying it home, it's the same as buying a cat or dog.

If you like it, you can touch it and play with it for a while. If you don't like it, you can just throw it on the street or beat it to death and bury it.

I kid you not, Your Holiness, this is the fate that Europeans will face in the next few years.

And the reason why they face such a fate, you, Your Excellency the Pope, bear a great responsibility.

Because it was you who encouraged their fathers, sons, and brothers to go to the battlefield, and let the Ming Dynasty turn them into a pile of broken flesh and withered bones."

As Li Xiao spoke, he felt a little thirsty and drank all the tea in one breath.

The translator hurriedly translated this long paragraph!

The more the Pope listened, the more ugly his face became.

He knew that what Marshal Ming Dynasty said was right.

In order to pursue absolute numerical suppression, European countries generally lower the lower limit of the age limit for conscription and continue to raise the upper limit.

As a result, many of the coalition's second-line troops are composed of soldiers with gray hair or who are clearly children.

There is no way around this. You can survive for a while relying on your numerical advantage. Once you lose your numerical advantage, you can only declare defeat directly.

Rome, Italy, where he shrank, was a relatively wealthy place.

Nowadays, food prices are rising again and again.

Many poor people are already hungry and hungry.

But compared to the French, the Italians are pretty good.

At least Italian ships are allowed to fish.

This, to a certain extent, makes up for the lack of food production.

But the French were disabled, and the entire southern Mediterranean coastline had been smashed.

Even the pier where small fishing boats were parked was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty's cannonballs.

The fishing boats on the pier were directly torn into pieces by cannonballs.

Many fishermen who have made a living by fishing for generations are now unable to go to sea without their fishing boats, and their lives are in endless difficulties.

Many French women have chosen to go to Italy to engage in the sex business.

There are also many French fishermen who are desperate and can only serve as soldiers on the front line and become cannon fodder.

The once prosperous cities of Marseille, Toulouse, and Toulon have now almost become dead places.

The city was abandoned due to the constant bombardment of the Ming army. People who had nowhere to go and couldn't live without them were like mice running through the city all day long, avoiding the artillery fire that didn't know when it would come or whether it would come back.

The Pope wanted to negotiate with Li Xiao, but he also saw that war could only bring Europe to destruction.

Perhaps the only country that can still retain some vitality now is England.

They sent the fewest troops to the battlefield, but sold huge amounts of various military supplies to various countries.

Various factories in the UK operate around the clock.

In the Times last year, from time to time there was news about workers in a certain factory being exhausted to death.

However, as the war progressed, these reports seemed to disappear.

It is estimated that British readers are also tired of reading these stories about the tragic fate of workers.

The result is that the upper class in Britain have made a fortune, but the people at the bottom are living in dire straits.

The wages are not high, but the working hours are very long.

If you are unwilling to resist, or if you have committed any crime, you will be arrested immediately.

Then you will be incorporated into the army and sent to the Russian front.

At present, almost half of the 150,000 British troops on the Russian front are here.

The British are unwilling to send their good young men to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Unlike the French, who have begun to organize volunteer service teams and send women to the battlefield.
