Chapter 489 The airship arrived at loyal Bethlehem!
Marshal Teodoro was certainly not frightened to death, but because of his old age, he accidentally fainted.
Seeing this emergency, Doug Batalov, the Minister of Health of Idar who was accompanying Bruno, did not panic at all. He immediately went to the scene and gave Marshal Teodoro a full set of rescue measures.
Doug Batalov's past experience was quite rough. He started in the dungeon and was promoted all the way up. Not only had he castrated piglets and performed surgery, but he also teaches at the Idar Medical College until now. Naturally, he was familiar with these rescue methods.
It's not just him. Any community doctor who has read the Idar version of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual has at least learned from the book how to deal with such emergencies.
so……
After a short while, Marshal Teodoro woke up slowly.
Fortunately, he woke up quickly, otherwise, if the imperial marshal was too shocked by the military parade and was shocked to death, it would be a lot of fun.
Fortunately, these were all insignificant episodes. When Teodoro stood up with the help of General Yale Rudolph, the independence celebration had already come to an end.
Even the three huge airships had already flown far to the west of Idar City, leaving only a few faint marks under the blue sky as the clouds parted.
The civilians who attended the celebration did not know that the three giant airships that made their hearts tremble and their faces full of horror, after flying away from the city of Idar, accelerated towards the direction of the holy city of Bethlehem.
Through this military parade, they knew at least one thing and reached a consensus, that is... the strength of Idar's army has completely exceeded their imagination!
Whether it's running on the ground or flying in the sky, the Idar army has them all!
Of course, there are also many large creatures that can swim in the water anchored in the military port of Merlin Special Zone.
Not to mention anything else, the mechanized troops that appeared at the end were enough to open the eyes of the Idar people.
They already knew that the Principality of Idar had a large number of magic cars, and that they had become standard equipment for many of Idar's senior officials.
Even the Idar nobles, newly wealthy businessmen, and large chambers of commerce living in the suburbs of Idar are vying for reservations!
Benedict Cars! In today's Idar Principality, this kind of magic car has become a symbol of wealth and status, and his stocks are available at the Idar Royal Exchange in the Merlin District! But!
What the civilians didn't know was that in addition to the Benedict cars that were developed for civilian use, the Principality of Idar actually had so many military vehicles powered by magic! Needless to say, the "Sword of Dawn" main battle tank was a killer weapon just by looking at its size and the several-meter-long barrel in front! Apart from that, which of the other military vehicles was simple?
If it weren't for the fact that the full strength of the Church of Light was still unclear, causing the army of the Principality of Idar to not dare to act rashly, this military parade would have made almost all the civilians of Idar and the invited foreign guests deeply realize that... the Idar army already had the strength to sweep across the entire continent! So...
After the military parade ended and the independence celebration came to an end, the entire Principality of Idar was in an unprecedented discussion and excitement because of this grand event.
After all, the number of civilians who can watch the ceremony on site is limited.
Therefore, for almost half a month thereafter, the Idar Independence Celebration and the military parade held on that day were topics that many Idar residents talked about with great relish after dinner.
This is a sense of pride that comes from deep within the hearts of the Idar people.
Whether it was the original native residents of Idar or the civilian merchants who immigrated here later, they all regarded the current Idar Empire as their only homeland without exception.
This is not only because of the strength of this new empire, but also because only here can they see hope for the future!
And this,
That is why every time the Idar army is mentioned, all the Idar people present will be very excited and talk endlessly.
Only if the Idar army possesses strong strength can it defend and protect this land, and allow the people living on this land to have lasting peace and well-being, a bright future and hope full of infinite possibilities!
However, it is worth noting that
After the independence celebrations, the people who reacted most enthusiastically and seemed the most excited were not actually the ordinary Idar residents.
Although the common people are happy to talk about these things, the Idar Daily also specially used a large number of pictures and texts to record the entire process of the Independence Celebration and the military parade. The Idar people are also willing to describe the grand occasion of the Independence Celebration to others...
but!
The most direct reaction was actually from the Idar Royal Exchange in the Merint District.
All the way up! (Note: "Red up, green down" and "green up, red down" are different due to software settings, personal habits, national conventions, and red and green color blindness. Here we will use "red up, green down" for the time being. If you don't like it, please don't criticize.) The principality became independent and the empire was established.
Add to that an unstoppable army and weapons, and a young and promising majesty!
Almost all the merchants and civilians who were originally skeptical about this country saw hope in the Idar Empire to unify the continent and wipe out the Church of Light!
The more powerful the Idar Empire becomes, the more stable Idar society becomes, and the lives and property of merchants, nobles, and civilians become more secure.
Makes sense!
so……
All the stocks in the Idar Royal Exchange, without exception, showed a towering posture!
Skyrocketing!
Especially Benedict Auto! As the leading stock of Magic Car, although Benedict Auto has only started the reservation of Magic Car and has not even officially sold a single car, its stock has skyrocketed by more than 40% in just a few days! Who makes it the only listed company in the entire empire, and even the entire continent, that can manufacture cars?
The series of military vehicles full of industrial style at the military parade was undoubtedly an announcement to the outside world that this new empire, this huge state machine, had completely mastered the mass production method of magic cars! For most speculators who had just entered the Idar stock market, this was definitely a very powerful shot in the arm! After all... after the military vehicles were built, wouldn't it be time to build civilian vehicles? Of course, the waves after these independence celebrations were all what happened in the next week.
At this moment,
After the independence celebration, almost all Idar officials who knew about it, including the new Emperor Bruno Stuart, turned their eyes to the direction where the three airships left.
This airstrike has a completely different meaning! This is not only the first time that the Idar Air Force has taken the initiative to attack, but it will also be the first official confrontation between the Idar Principality and the Church of Light! At the same time, this also means that the military policy that the Idar Principality has always pursued has begun to change! ...
The Sollenberg airship over the Almis Mountains.
Standing in the open cockpit at the front of the airship, Idar Air Force Major General Rolf Hawthorne was gazing at the continuous mountains outside the airship through the special glass surrounding it.
Although it is winter now, you can still see lush green forests between the mountains.
The coniferous forests growing on the slopes of the Almis Mountains are evergreen all year round and are far more attractive than the bare mountaintops higher up.
If you look down from the sky, the thousands of miles long Almis Mountains almost cut the entire continent in half along the north-south direction, and it is a natural barrier belonging to the Idar Empire.
In the passenger compartment behind the cockpit, more than forty carefully selected elite air force soldiers were also looking through the swirling clouds and overlooking the vast land outside the airship.
Three airships, with a total of hundreds of air force soldiers.
From the moment they boarded the airship, the hearts of these Idar soldiers were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.
There is excitement and more tension...
They all knew very well that this was the first time that the Idar Air Force took the initiative to attack! Therefore...
Almost all the soldiers of the Idar Air Force attached great importance to this operation! Rolf Hawthorne, a major general of the Air Force, volunteered to personally board the "Sorenborg" airship to command this bombing operation.
The Air Force Major General had even made up his mind that if he could not accomplish the bombing target this time, he would resign and accept punishment once he could return safely to Idar! ...
The reason why the Idar Air Force's airship can accurately identify the direction and determine the location of the holy city of Bethlehem is that the cockpit of the airship not only has a map, but also the latest research result of the Idar Magic Laboratory - "radar".
This thing sounds very high-tech.
only……
The Idar people's radar has a completely different principle from the radar on Earth in the previous life.
In this era, the existence of magic and spiritual power provides the Idar people with unlimited possibilities.
Long-distance communication devices use mental power as a link to transmit information, and the same is true for the new radar of the Principality of Idar.
Why can information thousands of miles away be accurately transmitted to the designated receiving device? Because through the Babylon Tower of Babel located in Dorne Port, the spiritual power of the Ebbinghaus snail can be covered to every corner of the continent, thus accurately locking the location of each receiving device.
The key point is the last sentence - accurate lock! The radar installed on the airship naturally also took advantage of this.
Agents from the Idar CIA hid a mental receiving device around the holy city of Bethlehem in advance!
so……
With the help of the spiritual power, the airship could naturally determine the direction and location of the holy city of Bethlehem without any hindrance !
The next morning,
Through the hazy morning light, flying over the mountain ridges,
Major General Rolf Hawthorne was in the cockpit at the front of the airship and saw the city located in the south of the empire, the core of the Church of Light - the holy city, Bethlehem! He took a deep breath and looked at the Idar Air Force soldiers standing behind him who were already ready to go: "We are about to arrive above the holy city of Bethlehem!"
After hearing the instructions from their superior general, the air force soldiers present all took on a look of being on high alert.
Seeing this, Major Rolf Hawthorne continued:
"In the past few days, both the Idar Army and the Idar Navy have proven their strength to the people of Idar."
"The Idar Army first attacked the Gran Highlands and defeated the Odin Empire, then moved south to the Kingdom of Basel, expanding countless territories for the empire."
"Although the Idar Navy did not have particularly brilliant military achievements, it quelled the pirates near the coast, and after taking control of the bay, it took on the responsibility of developing the new continent and maintaining the security of Idar's maritime borders."
"Only we, the Idar Air Force, have never been able to produce a record that would satisfy His Majesty and make all Idar people amazed and proud!"
As Rolf Hawthorne finished his words, many of the air force soldiers present clenched their fists in shame and anger.
You know, every soldier in the Air Force is carefully selected. Its recruitment standards are obviously higher than those of the Idar Army and Navy, and even the requirements for some positions are comparable to those of Bruno's personal guards.
However, the Air Force achieved the least.
This resulted in many air force soldiers watching their comrades who remained serving in the Idar Army being promoted ahead of them, receiving honors and commendations from the Idar Ministry of Defense and gaining recognition from the people of Idar.
Although everyone knows that the reason why the Air Force has not played its due role is mainly due to the military policy of the Principality of Idar and its current technological level.
But……
After hearing what Major General Rolf Hawthorne said, the strong sense of honor and responsibility they had developed over the years still made them burst out with an even stronger will to fight! Seeing everyone's expressions and performances, General Rolf nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice: "And now...it's time for us to perform!"
"The Idar Air Force is the only organized and large-scale air force on the continent, and it is also the only air force with griffins and airships!"
"So... the more intense our bombing this time, the greater the blow to the Church of Light, and the smaller the casualties on the ground forces will be in future conflicts!"
"To be feared by all, to serve the country in the military!"
"Today, the Idar Air Force will forge the iron wings of the empire!"
"The goal of this mission is to bomb the holy city of Bethlehem and the colossus outside the city!"
finally……
Major General Rolf Hawthorne issued the order:
"Everyone in position! Prepare to drop bombs!"
