Chapter 478 The Prussian Disaster (Second update, please subscribe)
Sword of justice!
This is the code name for this operation.
In fact, in terms of his inner thoughts, Zhu Xianhai would rather name this action "Avengers".
After all, people are petty. For Zhu Xianhai, he will never forget the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. There were two bullets embedded in the bridge pillars of Bali Bridge, one from the French and the other from the British.
Zhu Xianhai is petty and vindictive. Some things are unforgettable. They will never be forgotten!
In fact, this is why he came to France.
"I must personally order the destruction of Versailles!"
"I must see Versailles reduced to ruins!"
"When it becomes a ruin, I think... my heart will be at peace!"
This has nothing to do with anything else but revenge!
What artistic treasures, what human civilization heritage, it's all nonsense. Why didn't the British and French forces think so much when they set fire to the Old Summer Palace?
Repaying what is due is fair.
…
None of this is important, what is important is the military significance. After all, the Palace of Versailles is not just a palace, it is also the base camp of the Prussians.
"In order to break the Prussian army's siege of Paris and rescue Paris, according to your Majesty's order, we will attack today, aiming at the Prussian army's headquarters - the Palace of Versailles!"
When the order was given, no one had any doubts, no one questioned the order, what is Versailles?
It was a palace, but it was also the headquarters of the Prussian army! It was normal to bomb it in order to win the war.
"Catch the leader first! Our mission this time is very simple, which is to bomb the Palace of Versailles and try to eliminate the Prussian command center in one fell swoop."
While the battle deployment meeting was going on in the tent, outside the tent, the ground crew was pushing an ammunition cart with a silver-white bomb and slinging it into the cabin of the airship. This bomb was different from the bombs commonly used before. The previous bombs were all black, which were painted bombs, while this bomb was silver-white, which was the original color of tinplate.
During combat preparations, everyone was doing their own job, the ground crew as well as the crew members who were about to take off into the air. The airship commanders all stood in line in the tent, and from time to time they cast their eyes at the aerial photographs.
That was an aerial photo of the Palace of Versailles, which was their target.
"In short, just like in the past, our target is this palace. There is no need to consider other targets! Pinpoint bombing missions are the simplest missions and are no different from training. In short, just drop bombs like in training."
Wang Xinyue said to the commanders standing in front of him, his tone was as casual as announcing a general training subject, and he looked completely unconcerned. In fact, he didn't need to care at all. In the air, they had a unique advantage, which allowed them to easily implement a simple training!
The sky belongs to Nanhua!
In the sky, apart from Nanhua's airships, there were no other countries' air forces. They attacked from the sky, and the enemy had no power to fight back. This dimensionality reduction attack made them full of confidence.
In their view, this is just a "training".
Just training!
That's all!
"How about it; do you have confidence?"
Facing his subordinates, Li Du said with a smile
"have!"
The commanders immediately answered loudly and excitedly, "Do we need to mobilize?" No!
"Yes, that's right. You have to know that the Palace of Versailles is an extraordinary place. It is the royal palace of the French. You..."
After a pause, Li Du said in a slightly exaggerated tone.
"But he was the first person to blow up another country's palace!"
The commander's words made all the airship commanders burst into laughter. Indeed, this alone was enough to make them proud. They would raze a palace to the ground!
For any airship officer, they have the opportunity to bomb the enemy's infantry, artillery, fortresses, and even warships, but how many people have the opportunity to blow up a palace?
No!
While feeling proud, they immediately felt an unprecedented sense of mission, which was... they had to complete this task more perfectly!
In order to complete this task more perfectly, it would definitely be to raze this palace to the ground!
"Now, everyone!—Let's go!"
The moment the order was issued, the commanders, who had been a little impatient for a long time, immediately rushed out of the operations room like a gust of wind and ran towards their airships. The airship field was very large, and some crew members who had been prepared had arrived in the carriages early. When they saw the commanders rushing over, they shouted loudly to their captains, and then drove the carriages towards their airships.
Soon, the commanders and their subordinates arrived under the airship. As they climbed up the ladder to the airship, a mechanical sergeant reported.
"Sir, engine check complete!"
“Get ready to go!”
Without much talk, everyone began to prepare for takeoff the moment they entered the airship. A moment later, the ground crew brought the mooring rope, and the moment the mooring rope was released, the airship slowly took off.
“Take off!”
"It's flying, it's flying..."
Outside the barbed wire, those French teenagers looked at the airship slowly rising into the sky through the barbed wire, all shouting in excited voices. For these French teenagers, since the day the airship landed, they had been looking forward to this moment, looking forward to the moment when the airship troops set off.
The scene of 79 airships taking off was extremely spectacular, just like 79 warships. They slowly rose into the air, and as the mooring ropes were loosened one after another, the neatly arranged airships began to take off one after another as they rose into the air.
In the air, the engines rumbled, and the airships that took off began to slowly glide towards the sky. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, just like warships that had just left the port. The airships had maintained formation since they took off, and one airship after another flew into the sky and flew towards the distance.
When the airship took off from the airship field and flew high into the sky with the roar of its engine, the teenagers around the barbed wire looked at the airship above their heads and kept shouting into the air.
"Kill all the Krauts!"
"Kill the Krauts. Blow them all up..."
The French teenagers followed the airship in the sky while shouting excitedly. In their opinion, when the airship took off, they won! At least the good days of those Prussians were over!
The floating troops that completed the air formation slowly flew towards the north. The huge formation of these airships was like a fleet, except that this fleet was floating in the air.
After this huge aerial fleet took off, it not only attracted the attention of the children, but also excited the French in Orleans.
They all knew what the departure of this air fleet meant to the Prussians. It meant disaster! It meant death!
These kind French people all waved their hats towards the sky excitedly and cheered happily.
They are so eager to hear the news of victory!
In everyone's opinion, the departure of this air fleet will definitely bring them good news!
This good news must be the news that the Prussians suffered heavy losses in the bombing of the air fleet. Soon, they will see in the newspapers the ugly appearance of those Prussians fleeing in panic during the bombing.
“This is truly spectacular!”
The French on the ground looked at the fleet in the air and marveled.
"You must teach those Prussians a lesson."
People looking up at the sky expressed their wishes in their hearts...
