Chapter 920 (Fourth update, please subscribe)
The sun had already set, and several bonfires were lit among the desolate dunes.

Near the bonfire, dozens of Marines stood quietly around the camp with guns on guard.There was a scent of roasted lamb in the air.

A local man was roasting a whole sheep over a bonfire, while a dozen officers were sitting around the bonfire on the other side, seemingly discussing something.

"Mr. Lin, according to the current situation, the French plan to use Jerusalem to lure snakes out of their holes. They have postponed their plan to send troops to the local area, but wait for locals from all over to gather in Jerusalem."

The words of Colonel Ouyang Yue, head of the visiting group stationed in France, made Lin Yuehu think for a while, then nodded.

"This is not a way out. Those who were summoned to Jerusalem by Turkey in the name of "jihad" will definitely become the greatest resistance to the French ruling this area in the future. If they can get rid of this person in Jerusalem, Then it will be very beneficial to the future rule of France."

While talking, Lin Yuehu used a knife to pierce a piece of barbecue meat from the plate, took a bite, and then took another sip of cold beer, and added.

"Emperor Napoleon IV has something in common with His Majesty. We didn't have a quick solution in Brazil. We also had this consideration. Give the enemy time to mobilize, and then wipe them out on the battlefield. Of course, it depends on Whether the enemy is strong or not, whether it is us against Brazil, or France against the Arabs... it is almost like cat and mouse, there will be no suspense!"

"There is indeed no suspense. There are now as many as 10 French troops landing from Beirut. They not only have machine guns, heavy artillery, but also airships and fleets. It is so easy to wipe out the resistance in Jerusalem..."

As soon as the head of the group finished speaking, Xiao Zhiyuan, a member of the visiting group, said.

"Easy is easy, but don't forget the British. The British control the whole of Egypt, including the Sinai Peninsula. Although their fleet cannot support Turkey, according to French intelligence, the British sent many intelligence personnel to lobby the locals. It didn't even cost them a single pound to resist the French, and they had a lot of arms, after all they took a lot of arms in the occupation of Egypt."

Looking at Lieutenant General Lin Yuehu, Xiao Zhiyuan said.

"With the support of the British, many tribes joined the war even in Baghdad province, and I fear that as resistance in Jerusalem grows, the French will suffer there."

Xiao Zhiyuan's reminder made Lin Yuehu think for a moment, and then said.

"Disadvantage? Industrial civilization may suffer a short-term loss against barbaric civilization, but it will not suffer a big loss. Marshal McMahon has experience in fighting the Arabs in Tripoli. They... even with modern rifles, It’s just a bunch of mobs, nothing to worry about!”

It's not that Lin Yuehu looked down on those Arabs, because their... fighting power is really low!
"Jerusalem is not so much a big battle as it is a public opinion war. What the French need is the name of the Holy City. It is the name of the Holy City that will allow Napoleon IV to wear his crown firmly, um... Just like Russia needs Constantinople! Jerusalem, like Constantinople, is worthless, but they are above everything in the world, for them!"

When mentioning Constantinople, Lin Yuehu couldn't help turning his gaze to the north, where the Russians had already arrived at the city of Constantinople!
……

30 versts from Constantinople.

Standing next to a telegraph pole by the side of the road, a smiling Li Bin and several Russian military officers Zhou took a photo.

"Lee, that's Constantinople!"

Pointing to the city looming ahead, Lieutenant Colonel Kuropatkin's expression was full of longing like everyone else.

"We're finally here!"

We are finally here!

From the day Ivan III married Sophia, the last princess of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople has become the dream of all Russians.

All Russians, whether they are nobles or peasants, poor or rich, all of them have a "Messiah complex", that is, a savior complex. What is this complex?
That's Constantinople!
It is to restore the East... No, it should be the glory of the "Roman Empire". What is Russia's ultimate dream?Not Russia, but Rome!
"For hundreds of years, we have been longing to liberate this land, longing for the sound of mass in Sophia Cathedral to sound again, we..."

Kuropat Gold pointed to the troops passing by the side of the road. Those Russian soldiers, Romanian soldiers, and Bulgarian soldiers all had smiles on their faces. The smiles came from the heart, and everyone seemed very excited.

"We've been longing for this day, and now... Constantinople is right in front of our eyes!"

Constantinople is at hand!
Even from their position, they could already vaguely see the city and the dome of the Sophia Cathedral.

"The Turks will surely defend this city!"

Staring at the city of Constantinople, Li Bin reminded again that besides the city of Constantinople in front of them, there are also barbed wire fences and trenches. This is the capital of the Turks. How could they not Persevere?
"We will do whatever it takes to take this city, everyone...Even if we die here, it is worth it, Roman Empire!"

Standing on the side of the hill, gazing at the city in the distance, Kuropatkin said with a solemn expression.

"The double-headed eagle of the Roman Empire will once again rise here, Li, my friend. In the future, this place will once again become the capital of the Roman Empire!"

Where is the Roman Empire?Obviously the Russian Empire.

After the Russian Empire captures Constantinople, there will be no Russian Empire in the world anymore.For the Russian Empire, they will degenerate into the Roman Empire.

In that moment, their "Messiah" complex will be fulfilled.As far as Li Bin knows, in Russia now, they are already considering the issue of moving the capital and changing the name of the country.

After making Constantinople belong to Russia, will Turkey perish?Li Bin is not very clear about this issue, but what is certain is that the Russian Empire will definitely not exist anymore!
After all, the Roman Empire is the dream of all Russians, and now they can finally make their dreams come true.

"Russia... Rome..."

Just at this moment, Li Bin heard Kuropatkin talking to himself a little excitedly there.

"The glory of Rome will finally shine on the earth again..."
