982 Fighting

The initial spread of religion started with small favors, and this is the same all over the world.

For example, the apple in Father Henry's hand is one of the ways to quickly gain people's favor.

A strange city, strange people, if there are no benefits, it will be extremely difficult to quickly open up the situation.

Of course, all this needs to be paid for by the Vatican, and the Western Province will not spend a penny on it.

It did work. Within two or three days, people in the town were basically accustomed to taking apples from Father Henry's hand. Of course, this was based on the precondition that they were going to church to attend a Catholic religious ceremony.

The same scene happens in all desert towns, which are widely distributed in the southern part of Western Province. If afforestation can continue, then in at most ten years, this place will no longer be a desert, but will be lush.

Forest, that will be a miracle created by Lanfang in the Middle East.

A miracle for the whole world.

Qin Zhiyuan could not stay in the Western Province and wait for the miracle to become a reality. After a short stay in Baling, Qin Zhiyuan took the France and continued westward along the Mediterranean Sea to his final destination, Corsica.

This journey was actually Qin Zhiyuan's journey to Europe seven years ago.

Time has passed, and Qin Zhiyuan is no longer the humble Chinese worker he was back then. Qin Zhiyuan no longer has to sleep in a pigeon cage in the bottom cabin. He is no longer out of tune with the world, but has truly integrated into this era and has his own

care.

Crossing the Tunis Strait and entering the Tyrrhenian Sea, Corsica is already in sight.

I came to Europe along this route seven years ago. At that time, I was in the most confused moment of my life. I saw no hope and no prospects. In the spacious suite of the French ship, Qin Zhiyuan stood in the gray room.

Holding Misha in front of the porthole, he sighed quietly as he looked at the distant coastline.

Seven years ago, I was still serving on the Kapi front line. I faced endless wounded soldiers every day. Looking at the past was an endless shroud. My world was bloody. Until I met you, I really hoped that there would never be another war.

Misha leaned on Qin Zhiyuan's chest, grabbed Qin Zhiyuan's hand with both hands to prevent Qin Zhiyuan from causing trouble, and tried his best to recall the sadness of the past.

It's not that easy. I finally found some feeling. Just when I wanted to relive the passion of the past, the eldest princess Doudou suddenly started crying while lying on the small bed, and all the atmosphere disappeared.

It was still different, I was still a little girl then, but now I am already a child. Misha couldn't help but pick up Doudou and skillfully checked whether it was time to change the diaper.

My world is also gray now, even darker than before. Qin Zhiyuan lay helplessly on the rocking chair by the window.

Well, since it's gray, I don't mind making it darker for you. Could you please bring Ms. Doudou a new diaper? Misha couldn't let go. Although she pinched her nose in disgust, her expression remained the same.

Loving.

Okay, okay, the most important thing about Ms. Doudou is that Qin Zhiyuan does not resist and obeys Misha's orders resignedly.

There was a knock at the door, followed by Heyman's voice: Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Jing invites you to go to the bridge.

It was like the sound of nature. Qin Zhiyuan was finally able to get rid of his daughter's diaper and brought Heyman to the bridge.

In the bridge, Task Force Commander Wu Jingbo, Xie Rundong and Captain Mario of France were waiting for Qin Zhiyuan.

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Xie Rundong quickly came to Qin Zhiyuan and stood at attention and saluted: Your Majesty, the Italians sent a telegram asking us to bypass the Sardinian waters and enter the Corsican waters from the sea off Sardinia. There was indignation in Xie Rundong's voice.

He was trying his best to suppress the anger that was about to burst out.

Sardinia and Corsica are very close to each other, and some of their sea areas actually overlap. Under normal circumstances, such sea areas are customarily public sea areas, and any ship has the right to pass.

What's more, Qin Zhiyuan has a special status. As the king of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan should receive preferential treatment. Even if Qin Zhiyuan brings a special task force, Qin Zhiyuan will have no problem if he wants to pass through the Sardinian waters.

Did the Italians say the reason why Qin Zhiyuan was not angry? If Qin Zhiyuan were Italian, Qin Zhiyuan would do the same thing.

Sardinia has now become the hardest-hit area in Italy. Especially after Mussolini came to power, the Italians began to take tough measures against the resistance forces in Sardinia. This not only failed to eliminate the resistance forces in Sardinia, but also made it worse.

Resistance in Sardinia intensified further.

Just six months ago, the resistance forces in Sardinia finally took up the banner and established the Republic of Sardinia, openly opposing Italian colonial rule. The Italian government immediately declared a state of war with the so-called Republic of Sardinia.

To be honest, the Italians are not good at fighting. This has been proved in the World War. After the World War, the Italians were dissatisfied with the Versailles Contract and a territorial dispute broke out against Croatia.

The result is very regrettable. This dispute once again proved the incompetence of the Italians. Not only did the Italians not get what they wanted, but they instead pushed Croatia to become part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In another time and space, this kingdom

It would be renamed Yugoslavia in 1929.

It was not easy for Italy, which had suffered successive setbacks, to launch a cross-sea attack on Sardinia. In the early days of the war, the Republic of Sardinia was indeed passive for a time. Some leaders of the Republic of Sardinia even crossed the Strait of Bonifacio to Corsi, France.

Chia Island evacuated in an emergency, but after a short rest, the Republic of Sardinia began to counterattack, and now the Italian forces have basically been driven out of Sardinia.

Mussolini was a newspaper editor. He was not good at fighting, but he was good at talking. The Italians' failure on the frontal battlefield did not make the Italians learn from it, because the Italians had a very good reason, that is, France and Lanfang were facing each other.

Support from the Republic of Sardinia.

Although Corsica is French territory, everyone knows that this island is actually almost the same as the colony of Lanfang. The French have the right to send tax officers to Corsica, but that is all. Corsica

Everything on the island is decided by the Corsican Parliament, and even the defense of Corsica is taken care of by the Lanfang Foreign Legion.

The Lanfang Foreign Legion is responsible for the defense of French territory. This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it is reasonable because the Corsican Parliament hired the Lanfang Foreign Legion.

Democracy

In the face of Italian accusations, Lan Fang and France showed a high degree of unity this time. Pierre Foch, Speaker of the French National Assembly, firmly denied the Italian accusations and described some Italians as mad dogs who speak unscrupulously. Lan Fang

Prime Minister Lu Zhengxiang laughed and said that the Italians did not know enough about the combat effectiveness of Lanfang's army. If Lanfang really wanted to intervene, the Italian army in Sardinia would still have a chance to withdraw to Italy.

Stop dreaming, okay?

Although the Italians' military approach to Sardinia has failed, nominally Sardinia is still Italian territory, so when the task force is about to enter Sardinian waters, the Italians will issue such a warning.

Yes, it is a warning. The Italians claim that if the task force enters the Sardinian waters, it will be an invasion of Italian territory by the Lanfang navy. The Italians will regard this act of aggression as Lanfang's declaration of war against Italy.

Declaration of War: Are the Italians crazy? Do the Italians think that their strength exceeds that of Lanfang? This was not ten years ago. Qin Zhiyuan was greatly surprised.

Faced with Qin Zhiyuan's series of questions, all Xie Rundong could do was helplessly throw his hands aside. Italians are just so weird.

In other words, that fat bald guy is just so weird.

The best battleship of the Italian Navy now is the Count of Cavour class battleship. This is a battleship built before the World War. It is now more than ten years old. A total of three Count of Cavour class battleships have been built, and there are still three remaining.

Two ships. The other one exploded and sank while loading ammunition during the World War. Now it is said that it will be dismantled. Considering that the Italians also have cruisers and destroyers, if they want to go to war with the Italians, the France will need a few helpers.

Defeat the Italian Navy. Captain Mario of the France was confident, and his words were full of disdain for the Italians. Listening to Mario, if it were just a Count of Cavour-class battleship, the France could beat two.

France is a battleship built by France during the World War. From the paper data, the data of France battleship is similar to that of Count Cavour class battleship. However, after France entered the battle order of Lanfang Navy, Lanfang

The Navy has upgraded the equipment of the French ship several times. Every time new equipment appears, it must be installed on the French ship first. Even Lanfang's radar, which is still at the top secret level, has already been installed on the French ship.

The standard configuration, so in terms of combat effectiveness, France is now far superior to the Count of Cavour-class battleship.

The Air Force is more confident. There are two squadrons of fighters and fighter-bombers on our two aircraft carriers. We don’t even need to dispatch all of them, which is enough to occupy the Italian airspace. The Italian air force is so powerful that I actually don’t remember the Italians.

Air Force. Xie Rundong is more confident.

Compared with the navy, the air force has a greater advantage. The Italians must also have an air force. Xie Rundong must also know the information about the Italian air force. Xie Rundong is just saying this now to show his disdain for the Italian air force.

By the way, for the Lanfang Air Force, the Italian Air Force does not have the qualifications to keep Xie Rundong in mind.

Now that everything is ready, we only owe Qin Zhiyuan an order.

To fight or not to fight
