"Master Man finally drove the French army out of the Svet Loyal Marshes!

The threat on the flanks has disappeared, and our next step will definitely be to face the fierce frontal attack of the French army.

The current battle line is already at the edge of the urban area, and if we take another step back, we will retreat into the urban area."

Stewie stood next to a huge sand table with many small red and blue flags planted on it.

Li Xiao knew that each small flag represented hundreds of Ming people fighting.

Sometimes Li Xiao would think that if Ming people were to fight for a Russian city, many people in China would think it was not worth it.

This is not surprising, not everyone has a long-term strategic vision.

Europe is the biggest enemy of Ming Dynasty. As long as Europe is defeated, the distant United States will not jump again!

The Ming Empire was a new empire on which the sun never set.

The Chinese nation will stand at the pinnacle of the world's nations.

But since the fight started, Daming had to bite the bullet and continue the fight.

If the war had started three years later, the current war situation would never be what it is now.

At least, Ming Dynasty will be much better prepared than now.

“Most of the tanks in the 1st Cavalry Division are Type 2 and Type 3 tanks, and they have achieved this kind of behavior.

Fortunately, Mr. Ao's expeditionary force did not come, and all his tanks were Type 1 or Type 2.

If we really come here and use Ao Ye’s style of rushing and striking, we will only suffer greater losses.”

Li Xiao sighed helplessly. The armored troops were carefully built, but there was no general who could truly control them.

On the contrary, the Christian Alliance has now developed an 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

This thing can really challenge the world, the earth, and the air in the middle.

It would be so damn easy to smash a few tanks.

Could it be said that I want to be like the head of state and fight against tigers and leopards?

I can’t figure it out...!

There is no way, the current technical conditions are only barely able to produce a Type IV tank.

In the history that Li Xiao knows, the Type IV tank has a very sturdy name, T-34.

Even the rugged T-34 is very difficult for Ming Dynasty to build now.

Up to now, the combined annual output of the three tank factories has not exceeded 200 vehicles.

"This is something no one thought of, and you don't have to blame yourself, Commander.

Man Ye finally drove the French army out from the east bank of the Volga River and killed more than 5,000 people.

Although we have no advantage on the front line, we have finally returned to our original appearance.

Now that the Volga River has frozen, it is impossible for the French to cross the river easily."

It can be seen that Shi Dewei and Man Ye have a pretty good relationship. At this time, he can still help Man Ye speak.

"With the loss of thirty-seven tanks, the price of this victory is too high.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty could still afford to lose thirty-seven tanks.

But..., I can't afford to lose those crew members.

Now every tank crew is a treasure, and more than thirty were lost this time.

Did you know?

Even if it is a Type 1 tank, the crew can quickly adapt to a Type 4 tank.

How can the combat capabilities of Type I tanks and Type IV tanks be the same?

Putting a type of tank on the battlefield is actually to take advantage of their light body and strong maneuverability to be used as reconnaissance vehicles.

Unexpectedly, Man Ye used them to play forward.

That thin armor can withstand gunfire of less than 25 mm without any problem.

However, when encountering something as outrageous as the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, one can only react with hatred on the spot.

After all, we have planes, tanks, and artillery.

But the generals are still the same people who followed me out of Pi Island.

At that time, they still had swords and spears in their hands.

At most, there will be a few firecrackers to fill the facade.

Twenty years, in the blink of an eye.

They never dreamed that there was such a thing as a tank.

Things made of steel can also fly in the sky.

Their thinking and tactics have lagged behind this era."

Li Xiao reluctantly left with his hands behind his back. Now he really wanted to have Rommel, Guderian, and Patton under him...!

"All the tanks were lost on the east coast, and their wreckage was recovered. They were not captured by the French!

This is a blessing among misfortunes!" Stewie still tried to help Man Ye.

"It's useless. We have a saying in the Ming Dynasty: follow a cat and paint a tiger.

Now that I have seen a tank, I will naturally learn to make one.

The Prussians have a transcendent talent for machinery. Let's see, it won't be long before the Prussians will tinker with tanks.

Aren't they already able to manufacture diesel engines for airships? As long as the diesel engine technology is miniaturized, it is not a difficult problem to build tanks.

And with the craftsmanship of the Prussians, the tank they made is likely to be better.

So!

The war needs to end as soon as possible!

We want to split up and dismember Prussia and France so that they can no longer be one country, like they were hundreds of years ago, and become hundreds of kingdoms, large and small.

Only a fragmented Europe can reassure me.

As long as the world situation is established, and as long as future generations are not ignorant, Ming Dynasty will always be at the top of the world."

"But now we can only take a defensive position, with the French on the southern front and the Prussians on the northern front.

They have mobilized many Christian countries to join the war, according to the news reported by our insiders.

Prussia sent 600,000 troops, but the number of troops from the Nordic Christian countries following them exceeded 700,000.

In other words, the enemy army on the northern front has a strong strength of 1.3 million people.

In contrast, our army only has more than 300,000 people. Although the Russian army claims to be one million, it actually only has more than 800,000 people!

It's okay to be small in number. You know the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.

The situation on the southern front was similar, with the French sending more than 500,000 troops.

However, the Catholic countries in Southern Europe, plus countries like Italy and Spain, sent more than 1.3 million troops.

Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of southern European countries is generally not strong.

On the southern front, our army has only 350,000 troops, and the Russian army has only 600,000 troops.

Not only is there a huge difference in the number of soldiers, but the enemy troops are constantly increasing their numbers.

Insiders said that they recruited more than 500,000 people to build the railway.

Next month there is hope that the railway will be built to Kharkov or even directly to the Volga River.

If that happens, the enemy's logistics supply will be greatly improved.

The offensive we face will become even more fierce."

Stewie turned the topic to the war situation. He was very worried about the current balance of power between the two sides.

The disparity in numbers was too great. Under the influence of religion, almost all people in Europe devoted themselves to this war, and behaved very fanatically.

Even among the Russian army, there are many people with heads and heads and two ends.

Deserters occur in all units of the Russian army.

Sometimes, the whole class even escapes.

Now, Kutuzov can still control the Russian army by relying on his prestige. Once one day he cannot control the Russian army, the consequences will be difficult to predict.

Although the Russian army is not very effective in combat, it is still an army.

It is not that easy for the Christian United Army to handle it easily.

Li Xiao didn't speak, others didn't speak, and everyone didn't speak.

There was no other sound in the war room except the ticking of the telegram.
