The top brass of the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more wary of the existence of Yiselie, and powerful factions including Li Xiu are eager to solve this serious problem.

However, Li Xiao didn't seem too anxious and always said that he would wait for Yiselei to develop and grow stronger.

There are only four to five million Hebrews in this world at best.

Now that almost one third of them are concentrated in Israel, Li Xiao needs them to concentrate some more. It will take at least three million Hebrews to launch another war.

Only in this way can the destruction effect be guaranteed!

Otherwise, even if Israel is destroyed now, there are still more than two million Hebrews in the world!

These people are full of hatred for the Ming Dynasty, which is detrimental to the development of the empire.

If two-thirds of the Hebrews were destroyed at once, then the whole world would be encouraged to capture the other third.

In that case, the Hebrew population would really become thin.

When their population is no longer enough to support racial reproduction, then they will disappear forever in the long river of history just like the Jungar Mongols.

Even if they claim to be the chosen people!

In fact, when it comes to being anxious, Li Xiao is more anxious than anyone else. The construction period of the Central Asia Railway still needs one year. Now, transporting materials to Russia has to go around half the world, which will take up to three or four months.

The low transportation efficiency has seriously restricted the Ming Dynasty's support for Russia. The factory buildings of the St. Petersburg Shipyard have been rebuilt, but the mechanical equipment has not been in place for a long time.

Especially those large-scale mechanical equipment that need to assemble many parts one by one.

Even if one part is missing, it cannot be put into use.

The same thing happened at the Moscow Steel Plant, the Moscow Locomotive Plant, and the Moscow Tractor Plant!

Especially the Moscow Tractor Factory. Although its nominal product is tractors, in fact, it is a tank maintenance workshop.

Anyway, if you can build a tractor, you can build a tank with just a few books. Since you can build a tank, repairing the tank shouldn't be a problem.

Of the projects built with Ming Dynasty's aid, only the St. Petersburg Refinery has been put into production. Ships of crude oil are transported from Syria to St. Petersburg, where they are then refined into gasoline or diesel.

There are basically no buyers for this oil in the West, and it can only be supplied to Ming Dynasty ships or airships.

Fortunately, Ming Dynasty sent enough ships and airships to St. Petersburg. The refinery was operating at full capacity, so there was no problem at all in guaranteeing these ships and airships.

In addition, the Moscow Rifle Factory also started trial production. The first products to be produced were old-fashioned rifles, which were the Big Eight rifles that had long been eliminated by the Liao Army.

This kind of magazine can hold a rifle with eight bullets. After the last bullet is ejected, the loaded magazine will pop out with a "ding" sound.

Dabali is famous for its fierce firepower and high shooting accuracy. Although compared with the Aka rifle currently in service in the Liao army, it is a backward product.

But for the Russian army, which has experienced continuous defeats, it is a rare good thing. They can finally use the serious Ming Dynasty rifle!

In the past, when Dorgon was here, the British drawings were used. The rifle produced could only hold five bullets in the magazine.

In addition, there are also big problems with the processing industry and materials of the gun barrel.

This resulted in the rifles originally equipped by the Russian army having poor performance and accuracy.

After using the trial-produced big eight pills, the Russian army officers, especially Kutuzov, were very excited.

In addition, the Moscow Arsenal is actively preparing to produce Maxim.

This water-cooled heavy machine gun has proven in actual combat that its reliability is very high. Even if it fires 20,000 to 30,000 rounds of ammunition at a time, there will not be any major problems.

Although this thing is very bulky, it is very useful for the Russian army's machine guns with backward equipment. How dare you despise this thing as bulky?

As for the grenade, the Russian army likes it even more. This thing is simply the nemesis of the machine gun. As long as the position of the machine gun is found on the battlefield, it is basically impossible to escape within 500 meters.

The weapons and equipment produced by the Moscow Arsenal are currently all equipped for the Russian army. Russia needs to pay for these weapons, including copper, iron, zinc, lead and other ores.

For a time, many mines popped up in Russia. Russians who fled from the Hebrew-occupied areas were placed in the mines and became miners.

The workers were resettled, the Ming Dynasty received resources, and the Russian army received weapons. This is a happy ending!

Catherine likes this model very much. She can rearm the Russian army that is licking its wounds without spending a lot of money.

In two years, the equipment of the Russian army has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Almost all the things that I used to be envious of and drooled over are now available.

The 155mm howitzer is so powerful that one shell can cover almost half a football field, and there will be no more living people on the surface.

The heavy rocket launcher is more powerful. After using the latest Ming rockets, the range can reach 30 kilometers.

This was unimaginable before. The rockets copied by Dorgon were probably due to ammunition compatibility issues, and the maximum range was only fifteen or six kilometers.

If you encounter a headwind, you won't be able to shoot that far.

Now, there are all the things that make people drool. There are even military instructors from the Ming Dynasty!

The Russians are now working hard to learn the Ming Dynasty's tactical system. From individual soldiers to squads, platoons and companies.

Almost every month, there are tactical drills or drills of varying sizes. Under the guidance of the Ming army, the Russian army's tactical level has developed by leaps and bounds.

The Russian army, which was originally Europe's second-rate infantry, now refuses to give in even against the Prussian army, which has always been known for its proficiency in fighting!

For Li Xiao, arming the Russians is of great significance. Future wars in Europe will often involve the mobilization of more than one million people.

The Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from Europe, simply could not afford the logistical supplies of such a large army.

Therefore, in future European wars, Ming Dynasty must rely on the Allies!

The Ottoman Empire's army is really ridiculous, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect them to fight the Hebrews. If it were not for the protection of the Ming Dynasty, Constantinople would have been captured by the Hebrews by now.

Prussia and France are now obviously controlled by the Hebrew plutocrats. Prussia at least still maintains its relationship with the Ming Dynasty in order to save face.

But France has all fallen to the Hebrews.

As for Britain, the ancestral tactics of the Anglo-Saxons are useless.

As long as someone has an advantage, they will fall to that person. If someone's advantage is big enough, they can defeat the opponent.

Then, they will fight with the side with the greater advantage.

Now, they are still wavering between the Ming Dynasty and the Hebrews.

The Ming Dynasty is now very powerful and can be said to be at its peak. The Hebrews have been operating for hundreds of years and have already formed an inextricably linked chain of interests with the top politicians of various countries.

If the Ming Dynasty is a powerful dragon, then the Hebrews are the local snakes in Europe.

The British are waiting for the fierce dragon and the local snake to fight. Whoever has the upper hand, they will help.

Li Xiao was not particularly worried about the railway. After all, before this, the Ming Dynasty had laid no less than 100,000 kilometers of railways.

For Daming, there is no technical difficulty at all.

But there is another thing that worries Li Xiao enough. That is the No. 001 aircraft carrier being built at Lushun Shipyard.

After all, this is the first time in "history" that humans have built an aircraft carrier. There are many technical problems that need to be overcome bit by bit.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty had experience in building Shanzi-class battleships, otherwise Li Xiao would not have dared to build such a large ship rashly.

The Ming Dynasty built five Shanzi-class battleships in one go. Together with the five Shanzi-class battleships purchased by Spain, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, the Ming Dynasty built ten ships in total.

In terms of technology and experience in manufacturing giant ships of more than 10,000 tons, especially warships of more than 10,000 tons, Ming Dynasty can be said to be proud of the world.

"Commander, there are too many things to overcome. The large lift has just been conquered. After all, the design specification is to lift a weight of twenty tons.

Commander, our aircraft does not weigh 20 tons, so the design specifications you require are too high." Xuermo was very confused about the design specifications of the heavy-duty lift.

He didn't understand why a crane with a lifting capacity of 20 tons was designed for a fighter jet with a maximum take-off weight of only six tons.

"Do you think such a big place can lift two planes at once?" Li Xiao pointed to the giant elevator that was as big as a basketball court and a half.

"No way!" Xu Ermo is also a participant in the aircraft project, so he naturally knows the size of the aircraft currently being developed by Ming Dynasty.

"Haha! I think it's okay."

"Commander, the wingspan of the plane is only thirteen meters. I'm afraid we...can't fit two of them." Xu Ermo also felt that it was very convenient to put one plane on this lift. But it can't accommodate two planes.

.

This is somewhat embarrassing. If I had known better, I would have made the apron larger so that two planes could be parked!

"If the wings of the plane are folded, it will be no problem to put two planes on it. If the plane is loaded with ammunition and full of fuel in the hangar, it can take off after it is lifted up.

In this way, the launch speed of the aircraft carrier can be greatly improved. If you calculate, the take-off weight of the two aircraft is as high as more than twelve tons.

If we transport some other things onto the ship, how do you feel about the twenty-ton lifting and landing weight?" Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Fold the wings...!" Xu Ermo was a little surprised. It had been more than a year since he left the aircraft project team, but he didn't expect that the commander actually thought of folding the wings.

"The space on the aircraft carrier deck is very precious, and every square meter saved is good. Therefore, the lift pad can only be so large.

Besides, who can guarantee that future aircraft will not be larger? Maybe in a few years, we will have developed an aircraft of more than ten tons.

At that time, I’m afraid you will feel that the lifting weight of the lift apron will be a bit small.”

Li Xiao smiled and patted Xu Ermo on the shoulder. As the chief designer, Xu Ermo still had a somewhat narrow vision.

But there is nothing we can do. Talent cannot be cultivated in a day. This is a long-term process. It is estimated that in another ten years, Ming's talents will spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

After all, large-scale primary education is like a talent vacuum cleaner, constantly extracting outstanding talents from the private sector.

Xu Ermo nodded awkwardly, indicating that he understood what the commander meant.

This is the second time in the past year that Li Xiao has come to inspect the construction project of the No. 001 ship. This is enough to prove how much Li Xiao attaches importance to the ship.
