Chapter 139: Douglas's Conjecture

Of course, whether it was the sudden victory of this one or the full stomach of Instructor Cheng Cheng, Mu Jiu and the others, who were thousands of kilometers away, did not know that at this time, their airship had already come to the sky above Lunan Province, and according to intelligence, their lower part should have been completely occupied by the landing force of the Ji Yan Empire at this moment.

Of course, it was already close to midnight at this time, and it was dark from the sky, except for the occasional flash of light in some places, and the earth was immersed in the night, and it was impossible to see the specific situation at all.

"It looks like we need to see what's going on in the occupied territories tomorrow."

Standing on the porthole and looking at it for a while, although he couldn't see the specific situation, but when he thought that this was already an enemy-occupied area, and the people of the Wasi tribe living below had been shrouded in the iron hooves of the Ji Yan Empire at this moment, Mu Jiu's heart was very heavy.

"Brother Mu Jiu, don't worry, I believe that those occupying troops of the Ji Yan Empire should not be fools, and they should not take the liberty of doing anything against international conventions without resistance!"

Seeing Mu Jiu's heavy expression, although Lieutenant Sean was also a little heavy, he still comforted him.

"Well, I hope so, but these guys dare to invade our Wasi territory, so we can't easily let them go, regardless of whether they do anything to harm civilians or not."

Glancing at the black earth again, Mu Jiu turned around and walked towards the command room with heavy steps.

"Major Li Yue, how far is it from Lunan Bay now?"

The reason why they went to this place was not only to reconnoiter the situation in the enemy-occupied area, but most importantly, to give these invaders a disadvantage, so at this time, Mu Jiu couldn't wait for this plan.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, according to our speed calculations, it should take more than one hour for the airship to sail from the sea area where the enemy fleet may be anchored at this time."

As a cyborg person, although Captain Li Yue has a high IQ and humanized performance, it is impossible for him to have the same national feelings as Mu Jiu, so he replied unhurriedly at this time.

"Okay, then let me know when you arrive, I want to go and be quiet."

Hearing that there was still an hour to go, Mu Jiu's anxious mood became even more irritable, but he knew that because the weather conditions were very good tonight, and now the airship had used the fastest to rush to the predetermined sea area, so he could only helplessly suppress the irritability in his heart and return to the hall.

"Mu Jiu, you said that the batch of weapons we dropped during the day didn't know if it worked"

Seeing Mu Jiu come back with an unhappy face, Lieutenant Sean knew Mu Jiu's current mood without guessing, and quickly found a topic to divert his attention.

And at this time, there are really many people who are as unhappy as Mu Jiu.

First of all, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was almost blown to ashes by a remote-controlled bomb, and who is now camping with his men in a depression along the river.

"Ahh

In the tent, Lieutenant General Douglas sneezed and hugged a thick blanket.

"General, why don't you continue to your destination?"

The adjutant who was boiling medicine for him beside him asked Lieutenant General Douglas curiously.

"Whew!"

Picking up the handkerchief, Lieutenant General Douglas snorted his nose fiercely, and then said to the adjutant:

"William, you have also followed me for so many years, you should know very well why I can save the day every time I encounter danger, in fact, it is not how sharp my intuition is, but my meticulous reasoning has saved me many times."

At this time, the medicinal soup had already been boiled, and the adjutant poured half a bowl and hurriedly brought it to Lieutenant General Douglas, who had a slight fever.

Lieutenant General Douglas reached out from the blanket and took the medicinal soup handed over by the adjutant before continuing.

"William, you can also see it, let's not say what this weapon is that can attack ships from a high altitude, just say that the purpose of their sinking of the two gunboats in front of us can be seen, the other party just wants to stop us from going upstream."

"General, that's true, the place they chose to attack is exactly the narrowest part of this river."

Hearing this, taking advantage of Lieutenant General Douglas's time to drink medicine, Adjutant William also expressed his opinion.

"Although we don't know why the other side is doing this, it is clear that the other side does not mean to kill everything."

Of course, Lieutenant General Douglas didn't know that Mu Jiu and the others didn't dare to bomb at low altitude because they were worried about being exposed too much, and thought that Mu Jiu and the others didn't want to be too hostile to the imperial army for some reason.

"Although the other side has given up the attack for the time being, if we do not turn back but continue to move forward, do you think that our actions will still threaten their safety, and if the other side fires a few more bombs of that kind on the marching troops, do you think we can still be as lucky as we are during the day today?"

Lieutenant General Douglas drank the medicinal soup in the bowl in one go, and finally felt that his nostrils were much clearer, so he said all his thoughts without pause.

"Ah, so that's the case, it's good that the general is wise, otherwise ......"

After listening to Lieutenant General Douglas's speculation, Adjutant William didn't know whether it was pandering or real fear, and he shuddered.

"Okay, don't praise me, anyway, when you start marching tomorrow, you must pay more attention to the situation in the sky, and once you find an abnormality, you must make the troops ready to disperse."

Lieutenant General Douglas is not a straw bale, although he does not know what weapon caused the air raid in the morning, but how to avoid this air raid as much as possible has been figured out by him.

"Yes, General, I will give the order."

"Well, William, you said that if there was a weapon that could hit thousands of meters in the air, wouldn't it be possible to prevent today's incident?"

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the mind of Lieutenant General Douglas, who had finished drinking the medicine.

"General, ordinary light weapons will definitely not be able to do it, after all, the current bullets can hit a place of more than one or two hundred meters at most. But large-caliber artillery can do it. But it's such a big elevation angle......"

"Well, your idea is very good, but even if there is enough elevation angle, but large-caliber artillery is too bulky, and it is okay to hit a stationary target, but if you want to hit an object in flight, it is impossible. Unless ......"

After listening to Adjutant William's thoughts, Lieutenant General Douglas nodded first, but at this time, Lieutenant General Douglas's mind came up with the small white dot that disappeared at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the white mushrooms that fell somewhere upstream.

"General, have you come up with any good ideas?"

After all, Adjutant William has followed Lieutenant General Douglas since he was a child, so he didn't have many scruples, and when he heard Lieutenant General Douglas say this, he immediately asked curiously.
