Is it cool to transmigrate to South America? Zhu Xianhai's answer is: it's very cool.
After all, 19th-century South America is still a place where cowards vie for hegemony, a land ful...

Thirty-six shot down!
Three ace pilots were born from one air battle!
After an overwhelming victory in the air battle, the 33rd Air Wing became famous all over the world, and the commander Peng Guoliang even specially visited the 33rd Wing to station aircraft.
Peng Guoliang asked after personally awarding medals to three ace pilots including Ye Xinlin.
"I heard that the wing-mounted machine gun was designed by a mechanic?"
"Yes, Commander Peng. The wing-mounted machine gun was invented by our wing's mechanic, Sergeant Xie Chengde. After the machine gunner was removed, the aircraft became smoother, lighter, faster, and more maneuverable. This great victory was thanks to Sergeant Xie's invention."
Under the introduction of the wing commander Ding Haodong, Peng Guoliang said while holding Xie Chengde's hand.
"Mechanics are really great people! Although I'm not a pilot, I know that you are always the last ones to leave the airport every day. You are also the first ones to arrive at the airport before dawn. It is you who carefully inspect and repair the aircraft engines. ..."
Looking at Xie Chengde's rough hands that had turned black from being soaked in lubricating oil and gasoline, Peng Guoliang nodded emotionally, then looked at him and said.
"Now, your invention will save countless pilots' lives. Of course, the most important thing is air supremacy. Now we have it. As long as we gain air supremacy, our airship can fly out, and we can use the "Scepter of God" to smash the U.S. military's defenses to pieces! Sergeant Major..."
Holding Xie Chengde's hand tightly, Peng Guoliang said.
"On behalf of the soldiers of the Northern Army Group, I would like to thank you for your invention!"
This thank you was from the bottom of his heart. After all, with air superiority, even the strongest fortress would be as weak as paper in front of a super bomb.
"Sir, this is what I am supposed to do."
"Haha, don't be so modest. Have you applied for a patent? Don't worry, the military will not treat you unfairly."
The military has always been generous to the inventors of military equipment. Even on that day, at the instruction of Peng Guoliang, the aviation team purchased the patent of the wing-mounted machine gun at a high price of 50,000 yuan, and immediately sent the improved drawings and materials to each squadron by plane. The mechanics of each squadron immediately used the tools at hand to modify the aircraft.
As for the machine gunners, they were not "unemployed". In fact, the rear-seat machine gunners were the most promising pilots. They could operate the machine guns and shoot targets in the aircraft's maneuvering and dogfighting. They were used to flying. Although they had not received flight lessons, some of them had already mastered the flight skills in private.
In just a few days, a group of machine gunners changed their careers and became pilots. With the improvement of the "Falcon" aircraft, the air supremacy on the battlefield was gradually mastered by the Imperial Air Force.
The JN1 that was once flying in the sky quickly disappeared from the sky under the attack of the "Falcon" fighter. At the same time, the "Falcon" fighter with two machine guns mounted side by side on the upper wing was named the "Air Killer" of the Empire because the machine guns bulged out high, much like the hump of a camel.
"Now the sky belongs to those camels..."
After losing nearly half of his aircraft, Colonel Durant had to sadly face the reality - air supremacy had been mastered by the Empire.
And what does this mean?
It means destruction!
On May 3rd, the 26th year of Shengde, the sky was clear and the morning sun was shining on the earth again. When the glaciers of the Nevada Mountains in the distance were dyed red by the morning sun, a familiar roar was heard in the distance.
That was the roar of an airplane engine, but the sound today was different from the past. It seemed to have an overwhelming momentum.
As this oppressive voice echoed on the battlefield, the American officers and soldiers in the trenches raised their heads one after another. There seemed to be some gray dots faintly in the northern sky, and soon someone among them screamed.
"Airship! It's the Empire's airship!"
They are finally here!
The Empire's airships have always been people's nightmares. Once upon a time, they thought they would never hear such an overwhelming roar again, and would never feel the oppressive feeling from the air again.
But now they are back again!
As the sound got closer, a huge formation of twenty-six airships, under the cover of dozens of fighter jets, finally appeared before the world.
Looking at the huge planes in the sky and listening to the oppressive roar of the engines, the nightmare hidden in people's hearts once again broke into people's hearts.
“Quick, quick…”
The fortress's anti-aircraft gunners rushed to their gun positions. They operated the 37mm Gatt machine guns and poured ammunition into the sky. The more powerful three-inch anti-aircraft guns - which were modified from three-inch field guns, had a slow rate of fire but strong power and high firing height, and had always been used for the fortress's air defense.
When the group of airships appeared over Fort Grant, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns opened fire at them. However, these anti-aircraft guns converted from three-inch field guns could not pose any threat to the airships at an altitude of 5,000 meters. Even so, the US military's bombardment was still very fierce. Below the airships, the shells exploding in the air formed smoke puffs like hats. If it was at night, the scene of these time-detonated shells exploding in the air would be like gorgeous fireworks. Although beautiful, it would not pose any threat to the airships.
"We're fucked……"
Three days ago, when the US military planes disappeared on the front line, Lieutenant General Post realized that something was wrong.
Without air supremacy, the Empire's airships can run rampant on the battlefield.
Air strike!
That's what the Empire does best. And the superbomb? It's the nemesis of the fortress.
Finally, a huge fleet of airships arrived above Fort Grant. As the first super bomb known as the "Scepter of God" was dropped, American officers and soldiers in the fort soon heard the explosion when the bomb exceeded the speed of sound. The oppressive feeling brought by the sonic boom even made many American soldiers cry out in despair.
“This is the roar of God…”
The priests accompanying the army made the sign of the cross in astonishment. They almost watched with their own eyes as the bomb slammed into the fortress with a sonic boom. After smashing through the mountain more than ten meters high, a corner of the fortress was blown directly into the sky accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion.
Then, another super bomb was dropped, one after another, on this day... God was roaring!
