Chapter 182(1/2)
"Second uncle, these are the things my little aunt asked me to bring you. These belong to the fourth uncle, oh, these belong to Huniu.
Now he and Zhao Liangdong are engaged, and they are just waiting for the war to be over before they get married."
Li Lin went to Europe this time and brought a whole airship with him.
Li Xiu looked at the gifts brought by Li Lin, with a smile on his face.
My family still thinks about me!
"It's rare that I miss your second uncle. Go back and tell that Zhao Liangdong.
I also have an island in the East China Sea, the one covered with peach blossoms. From now on, it will be given to them both.
It can be regarded as a little bit of my thoughts as a second uncle!
The third child died early, so I, the second uncle, have to show some expression."
"Hey...! Second uncle, you are quite generous.
If I get married, what will you give me?"
"Boy, the girl from the Shi family is only fourteen years old this year.
If it had been twenty years earlier, this would have been nothing.
But your father has to wait until he turns seventeen!
You kid, you have to wait a few years before we talk.
Maybe at that time, I can find an island for you in the Mediterranean Sea.
Malta is great!”
"Thank you, uncle!
When I came this time, my father asked me to talk about peace talks with the Germans.
I don’t understand how to talk about it, can you give me some ideas?”
"How to talk? Foolish!
Negotiating this matter is actually just sitting together, eating and drinking, and then fooling each other.
What you can't get on the battlefield, you think you can get at the negotiation table.
None of them are sincere, they are all here to deceive.
Just fooling around, time passed by.
You should not go to Athens. There is nothing to see except a bunch of shabby temples.
They say that the scenery in Athens is beautiful, but that’s actually the case!
Food, drink, and accommodation are not as convenient as in Crete.
Just stay well in Crete, eat seafood if you like it, and fish if you like fishing.
Anyway, you can do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to go to places where there are no Ming troops stationed."
"I'm here to negotiate. Doesn't this become house arrest?" Li Lin stood up immediately after hearing Li Xiu's words.
"You are under house arrest. Anyway, as long as there are no Ming troops stationed, you are not allowed to go.
I asked Zuo Liangyu to transfer a Marine Corps team to take charge of your safety.
My silly nephew, do you know?
Now we are at war with Europe, and they have no problem killing ten thousand people on the battlefield.
But once you are assassinated, it will be a big accident.
Your father went crazy and laid a million corpses on his body, which is a very modest figure.
You just want to stay in Crete for the sake of the common people in the world, okay?"
When he first started talking, it was like a lesson, but later it was almost like a plea.
Even Li Xiu couldn't afford the loss of Li Lin.
Li Xiu couldn't even imagine what kind of revenge his elder brother would take if something happened to Li Lin.
No matter how you take revenge, a lot of people will die anyway.
Li Lin was speechless for a while!
What the second uncle said is very reasonable. It doesn't matter if the Ming army killed 10,000 or 20,000 people in battle.
But if you die, it will matter a lot.
"But Zheng Sen said he wanted me to go to Athens...!"
"Fuck your assholes, go to hell if you like, you can't go.
If you don't want to stay in Crete, you can go to Nicosia or Sicily.
There are beauties in Sicily, you should go and see them.
Don't go to Corsica, there is still no peace.
From time to time, a gunman would pop up and shoot someone secretly.
If that doesn't work, go to Cairo. There are pyramids there that your father is very interested in.
It is said that there are many tombs of Egyptian pharaohs there, and there are tons of gold in them. You can lead people to dig them, which is a good way to make a fortune."
In order to prevent Li Lin from going to Athens, Li Xiu risked his life.
He even said things to tempt his nephew to dig graves.
"Okay!" This time, Li Lin had absolutely no choice.
"Don't run away secretly, you have to tell me where you want to go.
If you dare to leave without permission, I will detain you." Li Xiu threatened Li Lin with a stern face.

"Now that I know my second uncle, I won't wander around the world.
How is Crimea? I heard that the Ottomans were fighting lively!" Li Lin quickly changed the subject.
“Crimea!
In just a few months, the Ottomans had already filled it with hundreds of thousands of people.
In the first month of the war, it was like a meat grinder. The casualties on both sides were as high as 50,000 to 60,000.
Now the Ottomans rely on our naval fire support to confront the Israelis.
Both sides dug deep trenches, and the Ottoman soldiers dug in like rats all day long.
This confrontation resulted in fewer casualties.
During the day, everyone shoots guns, and at night, they shoot black guns and whistle.
The Israelis were unable to push the Ottomans into the sea, and the Ottomans were unable to push the Israelis out.
On the contrary, Sevastopol was reduced to rubble, and all the factories and other things built by the Israelis there were destroyed.
It may take several months for the Israelis to restore their industrial level to pre-war levels.
The Liaoning aircraft carrier is currently stationed in the Black Sea.
When you see a factory being built somewhere on the ground, drop two bombs if you have nothing to do.
Not to kill anyone, just to delay their construction.
Your father was right when he agreed to the Ottomans' involvement.
Crimea is now like opening a hole in the Israelis' bodies and bleeding them non-stop all day long.
The state of Israel has only been established for a little over ten years, and the family's financial resources are very limited.
I don't think I can hold on for too long if I delay bleeding like this."
"Forget it, the Israelis are inextricably linked to our army on the central Kursk front.
The very capable Mongolian battalion was almost completely destroyed.
Almost no one was able to escape alive.
My father ordered it to be rebuilt, but it couldn't be put together in a short while.
I estimate that it will take at least two or three months before we can reorganize it.
My dad said, inside the coalition forces.
Only the French and German armies have the strongest combat effectiveness.
The Israeli army is almost on the same level as the British army!
The remaining countries such as Italy, Poland, Spain, Lithuania, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are actually just making up the numbers.
Now the French's combat effectiveness on the southern front is getting stronger and stronger. In the last battle of Belgorod, they were able to withstand the attack of Man Ye's 1st Cavalry Division.
