Expedition to Europe

The initial spread of religions is accompanied by small favors, which is the same all over the world.

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

In a strange city, with strange people, it is really difficult to quickly open up the situation without some benefits.

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

It is indeed effective. Within two or three days, the people in the town are basically used to taking apples from Father Henry, of course, this is based on the premise that they are going to church to participate in Catholic religious ceremonies.

The same scene happened in all the desert towns. These towns are widely distributed in the southern part of the Western Province. If afforestation can continue, then at most ten years, this place will no longer be a desert, but a lush forest. That will be a miracle created by Lan Fang in the Middle East.

A miracle dedicated to the world.

Qin Zhiyuan couldn't stay in the Western Province to 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 to his final destination, Corsica.

This journey is actually the journey Qin Zhiyuan took when he went to Europe seven years ago.

Times have changed. Qin Zhiyuan is no longer the inconspicuous Chinese worker he was at the beginning. Qin Zhiyuan no longer needs to sleep in the pigeon cage in the bottom cabin. He is no longer out of tune with this world, but has truly integrated into this era and has his own concerns.

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

"Seven years ago, I came to Europe along this route. At that time, I was in the most confused moment of my life. I could not see hope, no prospects, and the whole person was gray-" In the spacious suite of the France, Qin Zhiyuan stood in front of the porthole, hugged Misha, and sighed at the distant coastline.

"Seven years ago, I was still serving on the Kapi front, facing endless wounded soldiers every day. Looking ahead, there were endless shrouds. My world was bloody, until I met you - I really hope there will be no more wars." Misha leaned on Qin Zhiyuan's chest, holding Qin Zhiyuan's hands with both hands to prevent Qin Zhiyuan from making trouble, trying to recall the sadness of the past.

It's not that easy, it's hard to find some feelings, just want to relive the passion of the past, the eldest princess Doudou lying on the small bed suddenly cried, and all the atmosphere disappeared.

"It's still different, I was still a little girl at that time, but now I'm already a mother-" Misha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, picked up Doudou and skillfully checked whether to change the diaper.

"God-my world is also gray now, even darker than before." Qin Zhiyuan lay down on the rocking chair by the window dejectedly.

"Well, since it's gray, I don't mind making it even grayer. Please bring a new diaper for Ms. Doudou..." Misha couldn't let go of her hand. Although she pinched her nose in disgust, her expression was still kind.

"Okay, okay, Ms. Doudou is the most important--" Qin Zhiyuan didn't resist and obeyed Misha's orders.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Heyman's voice: "Your Majesty, Wu Jingbo asks 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 diapers and brought Heyman to the bridge.

In the bridge, Wu Jingbo, commander of the task force, Xie Rundong, and Mario, captain of the "France", were waiting for Qin Zhiyuan.

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan coming, Xie Rundong quickly came to Qin Zhiyuan and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Italians sent a telegram asking us to bypass the Sardinian waters and enter the Corsica waters from the sea off Sardinia." Xie Rundong's voice was indignant, and he was trying his best to suppress the anger that was about to erupt.

Sardinia and Corsica are very close, 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 through.

Moreover, Qin Zhiyuan has a special status. As the King of Lan Fang, Qin Zhiyuan should be treated preferentially. Even if Qin Zhiyuan brings a task force, it is no problem for Qin Zhiyuan to pass through the Sardinian waters.

"Did the Italians tell the reason?" Qin Zhiyuan was not angry. If Qin Zhiyuan was an Italian, Qin Zhiyuan would do the same.

Sardinia has now become a disaster area in Italy, especially since Mussolini came to power. The Italians began to take tough measures against the resistance forces on Sardinia. This not only did not eliminate the resistance forces on Sardinia, but further intensified the resistance on Sardinia.

Just half a year ago, the resistance forces on Sardinia finally raised the banner and established the "Sardinia Republic", openly opposing the colonial rule of the Italians. The Italian government immediately announced that it would immediately enter a state of war with the so-called "Sardinia Republic".

To be honest, the Italians are also good at fighting. This has been proven in the World War. After the World War, the Italians were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Versailles and had a territorial dispute with Croatia.

The result was regrettable. This dispute once again proved the incompetence of the Italians. Not only did the Italians not get what they wanted, but they also forced Croatia to become part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In another time and space, this kingdom 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 painfully learn from it, because the Italians had a very good reason, that is, France and Lanfang were facing each other. Supported by the Republic of Sardinia.

Although Corsica is French territory, everyone knows that this island is actually similar to 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 sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is reasonable because the Corsican Parliament hired the Lanfang Foreign Legion.

Democracy -

In the face of Italian accusations, Lanfang 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. 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, would the Italian army in Sardinia still have a chance to withdraw to Italy?

Stop dreaming!

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 "aggression" as Lanfang's declaration of war against Italy. .

"Declaration of war? Are the Italians crazy? Do the Italians think they are stronger than us, 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 away. Italians are just so weird.

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

"The best battleship in 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 ships left. The next two ships, the other one exploded and sank while loading ammunition during the World War, and is now said to be scrapped. The Italians also have cruisers and destroyers, so if they want to go to war with the Italians, the France will need a few helpers to defeat the Italian Navy." Mario, the captain of the France, was confident, and his words were full of disdain for the Italians. According to Mario, if it were just a Count of Cavour-class battleship, the France could beat two.

HMS France is a battleship built by France during the World War. Judging from the paper data, the data of the HMS France battleship is similar to that of the Count Cavour-class battleship. However, after the France entered the battle order of the Lanfang Navy, the Lanfang Navy upgraded the equipment of the France several times. Every time new equipment appeared, it must be installed on the France first, even including Lanfang. The radar, which is still at the "top secret" level, has long been standard equipment on the France, so in terms of combat effectiveness, the France is now far superior to the Count of Cavour-class battleships.

"The Air Force is more confident. We have two squadrons of fighters and fighter-bombers on our two aircraft carriers. We don't even need all of us to dispatch, it is enough to occupy the Italian airspace. The strength of the Italian air force - God, I don't remember The Italians are led by the 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 saying this now just to express 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.
