The Divine Calendar came quietly on January 1, 1922, and it was a very cold day, and a thin layer of ice had floated on the pool behind the headquarters of Osmanthus City.

On this day, Charles signed the order of the Southern Theater of Operations entitled "Opening Up the Battlefield Behind Enemy Lines? Destroying the Enemy in Small Increments" and published a signed article entitled "On New Technologies and Information Warfare in the New Situation" in the theater's internal newspaper.

Henry, who had just taken the new order away, walked into the office excitedly, and then said to Charles: "Your Highness, the first photos of the 'Sky Eye' have come out. ”

"So fast?" asked Charles, who was reviewing last month's summary, in surprise, "Didn't you say it wouldn't come out until 4 o'clock?"

Henry replied, "Those lads had a breakthrough the other day when they were improving the technology. ”

"It's really hard for them. Charles walked out of the office with Henry, "I have to give them a lot of credit." ”

After a few steps, Charles said to Henry again: "Anyway, you don't plan to remove the scar on your face?"

Henry said triumphantly: "This is proof that I have washed away my shame, so that it will not be removed." ”

Charles shrugged.

In the battle of "Eight Hundred and One Hundred Heroes", the guards led by Henry found the base of the fish-man master who had stabbed Elizabeth in the first place.

Henry, they first washed the base with wind arrows and lured the master to the firing position.

Then a large number of explosives with no magic fluctuations at the launch site detonated at the same time, and as a result, the master was naturally sensitive to danger, and escaped after opening the shield and burrowing into the ground, but he was also seriously injured.

Then Henry and the others beat them up, and finally after Henry paid the price of being stabbed in the left side of the face and blinding in the left eye, the master was knocked unconscious and arrested.

Charles treated Henry with his share of the fountain of life, but he only healed his eyes, but the scars on his face remained.

"It's a shame we brought her back at the wrong time. Henry had a look on his face that all men understood, "That little girl is pretty good-looking." ”

There are talented people in the country, and no one expected that the person who seriously injured Elizabeth was actually a girl less than twenty years old.

At first, Charles thought she was a time-traveler with the aura of the protagonist, but after some temptation and summoning Artoria overnight to confirm, he finally determined that the other party was a native of body and soul.

Henry was right, the fish-man was tall and well-proportioned, with the beauty of perennial sports. But what does that look like...... At that time, Henry and the others beat her into a pig's head, and it is estimated that even her mother could not recognize her, and Charles could not see what she looked like.

"What are you sorry for?" asked Charles, "do you want me to tell your wife?"

"Don't!" Henry hurriedly stopped Charles, his wife was one of Queen Victoria's bodyguards, "I'm sorry for Your Highness, according to the rules, you, as the commander of the battle, can choose any trophy, including prisoners of war......"

It was a kick from Charles who answered him.

Charles and the others soon came to the command room, where the walls of the command room were covered with photographs about half a meter long and wide, and a group of staff officers were studying the contents of the photographs with magnifying glasses.

At that time, Charles learned that the Wright sisters had made the two-wing mechanism on the way to Osmanthus City, and immediately thought of throwing it into the war.

Considering that the plane's performance was still sloppy, Charles thought of using it as a reconnaissance aircraft, so he summoned the team of Cardano, Daguerre, Vogelander, Sutton, and Baker, who had invented the camera two years earlier.

The camera team arrived at noon on the day Charles arrived in Osmanthus City, and after Charles introduced the meaning of installing the camera in the sky, they said that they would cooperate with Charles's work, so Charles sent them and the Wright sisters to the airport in the north of the city to start research.

A few days ago, the biplane equipped with a special camera specially developed by the camera team for aerial photography took a circle around Osmanthus City, and the final effect was amazingly good.

Charles stood in front of the photo and sighed that the photo technology developed by the camera team was good, although he didn't know what material it was made of, but the clarity of the photo was still okay.

He came to the side of Chief of Staff Dixon and asked, "How are these pictures?"

Dixon, who was studying a photo of the base with a magnifying glass, nodded and said, "Very good, it helped us a lot." ”

Charles took the magnifying glass from Dixon and looked at the photo, the base had been attacked before, half of it was in shambles, and people could be seen cleaning up the rubble.

He then says, "There's a lot of room for improvement, and it's easier to use if you can stitch multiple photos together into one huge, seamless photo." ”

"It's also a great help for mapping. "Especially the map of unfamiliar areas." ”

For soldiers, an accurate map is undoubtedly the guarantee of victory, but drawing a map requires more complex techniques and specialized personnel and equipment to carry out it.

The detailed maps of various places are local secrets, and the maps sold by the Adventurers' Guild and the various chambers of commerce are simple maps that do not accurately reflect distances, and only tell you which landmarks are in which place, and only military maps have a scale.

It's okay on this side of the Elven Tree Sea, this land has been mapped for so many years, but there is no way to get out of the Elven territory.

With the help of aerial photographs, it will undoubtedly greatly speed up the drawing of maps, and the barely usable topographic maps can be drawn quickly without considering the scale.

Charles asked, "Do you want to invest in them in the name of the war zone to speed up R&D?"

Dixon glanced at Charles and asked, "By 'they' do you mean the guys who made the cameras, or do you add the two sisters who were with you?"

"Cameras don't fly into the sky on their own. Charles said.

"Then you can ask Her Majesty to invest. Dixon said.

Although the Southern Theater has the right to purchase weapons and materials independently, such as the horror spiders that the Rurik Kingdom came to sell and various canned foods later, the budget amount is relatively low, and it is not appropriate to invest limited funds in technology research and development.

Charles nodded and said, "Then I will fly two more times in the next few days, and I will take the photo to Her Majesty, she should be interested." There is also the matter of adding communicators to the troops, and I will solve it this time. ”

Dixon looked at Charles and asked, "Shouldn't there be a problem with planes flying so often?"

His worries were not unreasonable, and the General Staff had been working on a statistical analysis of the van's malfunction, and it would be a big trouble if the only plane at present broke down and fell over the enemy-occupied area.

"Don't worry. Charles shrugged, "Even if the plane can't fly, its pilot can still fly back with the plane." ”

Dixon was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said speechlessly, "Those dragons are really ...... I know how to fly, so why am I still interested in airplanes. ”

Charles is also very speechless about this, the most enthusiastic about the development of flying machines in this world is the group of dragons called the "Dragon Regiment that makes the sky more lively", gliders, parachutes and other things were invented by them.

Say the dragon, and the dragon arrives.

Henry approached Charles with an invitation and said, "Your Highness, the 'Dragons Who Make the Sky More Lively' invite you to the award ceremony. ”

Charles was stunned for a moment and asked, "What award is given to whom?"

"They said that in recognition of the great contributions made by His Highness and the two Miss Wright, and others to the cause of aviation, they would award you a one-ton medal," said Henry. ”

Charles blinked, thinking about how he could put such a large medal in his home.
