"Brother Xiao, when are we going to attack the Germans? I heard they are in chaos right now!"

Mr. Ao picked up a piece of pig head meat with his hands, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Mr. Ao's blood pressure has been very high recently, and his family forbids him from eating such high-fat food. Only if he eats it at Li Xiao's place, no one will care about it.

Li Xiao prefers pork knuckles to pork head meat.

"I'm old and my beard has turned white. I still fight and kill people all day long. Look at how good Mr. Man is.

He built a ranch in Chaoyang and said that the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division would quit his job and would become a rancher from now on.

Now we still ride horses to herd sheep every day, and they say that Mongolians should just ride horses and drive tanks is boring."

"You can pull him down!

Song Taizu released his military power with a cup of wine, your kid released his military power at the ranch?

However, it is true that my body and my master Man's body are broken.

In the blink of an eye, I’m almost seventy!

There is a saying that people rarely live to be seventy years old. I never dreamed that I could live to be seventy years old.

Lao Man lives a carefree life, I don't care about him.

I still want to fight one last battle and defeat the Germans. According to your words, no one in this world will dare to challenge us."

Mr. Ao took a sip of wine and went from a policeman to a general of the Ming Dynasty. This span is not a big one!

He likes war and loves war.

In this life, I have experienced battles with knives, and I have also experienced face-to-face battles with people queuing up and being shot.

I also experienced a war in which aircraft, artillery and tanks were rampant.

Although the style of war has evolved rapidly, Ao Ye's original intention of loving war has not changed at all.

"You may be disappointed!

There is no more war with Germany!

Do you know how much money Daming made in total from the bond crisis presided over by Ai Husheng?"

Li Xiao blinked at Master Ao very mysteriously!

"How much? Three hundred million, five hundred million, could it be one billion?" Mr. Ao used a small spoon to dig out a spoon full of peanut kernels and stuffed it into his big mouth.

"Haha! It's too conservative. I'll tell you to be a good boy.

In half a year, 11.7 billion Ming silver dollars were plundered from Germany.

Germany is now full of victims."

Li Xiao took a sip of wine!

"What? 11.7 billion? Oh my god, our Ming Dynasty's annual income last year was only one billion silver dollars.

In one fell swoop, he got the annual income of ten years of the Ming Dynasty? No, it was the annual income of eleven years."

Master Ao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe this was true.

"Yes! And this time, Ming Dynasty made almost no investment. The initial start-up capital was raised with Ming Dynasty bonds sold to Europeans.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty only printed 350 million pieces of colorful paper and robbed the entire Europe of assets that had been saved for hundreds of years.

After what he did, not only Germany was finished, but also the whole of Europe!

Even if Germany wants to fight now, they have no strength left.

The army is fighting in the front, but the arsenal in the rear has no raw materials.

Not only are there no raw materials, there are also almost no workers.

The country doesn't have much tax revenue, and it can barely afford to pay civil servants. What's more, it can't pay salaries to the military and update its weapons and equipment.

Not to mention allocating a large amount of funds to the University of Berlin to develop engines that are completely a waste of money.

Germany is doomed. That mustache of Asch yelled in Congress, saying that we Ming people were drawing their blood.

I didn't see him!

When you see him, tell him that I have smoked, what can you do?"

"Hahaha, let alone draw their blood. Even if we meet and slap him with a big ear scraper, he won't even dare to fart.

Come and have a drink!" Mr. Ao raised his glass and clinked it with Li Xiao.

"If you want to talk about making money, it's a damn thing for wearing glasses. I didn't expect that just by printing a bunch of colorful paper, I could steal more than I did after three years of fighting on the ice and snow.

The world has changed, I'm afraid we Qiu Ba will have nothing to do with us from now on!" He was very excited at first, but soon his tone darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense. Without a strong Ming army, do you think Germany will stand up straight and get whipped?

Strong armed forces are the guarantee of a country.

The kids are all grown up now!

Children such as Zu Kuan, Zu Chengxun, and Cao Bianjiao have all grown up, and the team can be regarded as a formidable general.

Cao Wenzhao serves as the frontline commander, and there is no problem in terms of qualifications or ability.

It’s hard to say about the Navy. After all, the Navy is more professional. Generals can only choose from the Navy!

In recent years, the focus has been on the Army, and the Navy has been left to the second best.

There are so many generals, and I don't know which ones are suitable and which ones are not.

Fortunately, the second child is still young and can still hold on for ten to eight years.

When the second brother comes back to report on his duties in a few days, I have to ask him if there are any available talents in the Navy who can be promoted."

"Ever since we had a few wooden boats, Erye has been floating on the sea.

It has been twenty-seven or eight years now, and he has been the commander of the navy for twenty-two or three years.

For so many years, the navy has been under the second master's command.

Too many years!" Master Ao let out a long sigh.

"There is nothing we can do about it. We are really not as good as the second child at sea. Let him do it first and see which child can take the top.

I think the boy named Chen Jialuo from the Chen family is quite good. He has already become the captain of a destroyer in his thirties.

But on this matter, you have to listen to the opinion of the second child. He has been floating on the sea all year round, and he is familiar with things in the water."

Regarding the navy, this is the branch of service that Li Xiao has the least worries about.

If there is still a possibility of mutiny in the army, there is no such possibility in the navy.

After all, the navy is a service that relies heavily on industrial supplies.

The warship itself is a symbol of industrial strength.

"Okay Master Ao, stop beating around the bush.

The Ming Dynasty could not maintain such a large-scale military strength for a long time, and the dismantling of the army was inevitable.

However, in the future, the Ming Dynasty's standing army will reach more than two million people.

This time, we suffered the disadvantage of having too few standing troops. In the early stages of the war, we were very passive.

There are two million standing troops, and the army has almost 900,000 personnel.

In addition to the First Cavalry Division, there are four field armies organized and trained. Each army has several divisions under its jurisdiction!

Almost each army has about 100,000 people!

The rest are local garrisons, which are scattered across the country and number about 400,000. Most of them are stationed in provincial capitals, and the rest are dispersed and stationed in various cities.

The navy has a relatively large number of personnel, reaching more than 900,000 people.

Half a million of them are marines. These marines are responsible for protecting Ming Dynasty's overseas interests.

The rest are naval posts.

Stilwell's latest idea was to establish a separate air force, with him as commander-in-chief.

The number of positions is 300,000!

In addition to the Ming Dynasty itself, there are also some military bases stationed in Central Asia and Europe."

"So, we have to abolish more than half of the troops stationed in Europe?" Mr. Ao was a little unhappy. Those are veterans who have been baptized by war.

Anyone who has ever been a general knows that veterans are the treasures of the army. It really hurts Master Ao to disband these treasures like this.

"If it is disbanded, it will be disbanded, and it can also be transformed into armed guards.

Armed Jin Yiwei can be responsible for the defense of important domestic targets, and can also be responsible for the garrison of some important cities.

On weekdays, when the local Jinyi Guards cannot take care of some vicious public security incidents among the people, they can also take care of them.

This is an organization between the Jin Yiwei and the army, and it can be considered a good place for them to go.
