On September 14, 1914, all the citizens of London looked at the blue sky with concern.

From the early hours of the morning, the police knocked on doors to inform everyone of the possibility of an air raid by the Germans, asking people to prepare for fire prevention, and schools were completely closed.

As soon as the sun rose, the citizens began to prepare sand and water, the fire brigade showed up in the dense houses with water trucks, and the army was fully dispatched to help the police stop the possible chaos.

The normally solemn palace has become more deserted, and most of the royal family has moved to safer places away from the coast, with only the royal guards still holding their posts.

Compared to the majestic palace, the inconspicuous Admiralty was still a busy scene, and people already knew that they had no way out, so Churchill and the admirals seemed a little more relaxed than before, at least no one shouted every day to remove the Admiralty and the Commander of the Fleet.

Most of the ships defending the British mainland had already reached the mouth of the Thames, and the British decided to make up for the gap in the number of ships. There were all kinds of ships floating on the calm sea, armored ships with steel hulls, iron-reinforced wooden warships that had retreated to the second line of coastal defense, half-wood and half-iron gunboats, and all the British naval officers and men had been concentrated here in the last 30 years, and all the British naval officers and men were prepared to fight the German fleet with the determination to die.

In the British harbors, the steamers set anchor one after another, the sailors shouted the slogan "It is better to go to sea than to be sunk by the Germans in the harbor", those with boilers made fires to add coal, and those without boilers raised their sails, all kinds of merchant ships drove out of the harbor with their heads held high, and the sea surface that had been silent for a long time was rejuvenated. The government acquiesced in the flying of neutral flags on merchant ships, but the British flag flew high on the masts of these ships.

Kaiser Wilhelm II's first words when he got up: "Stupid Englishman! Pray! ”

At various airports in France, the pilots left the words before boarding: "Stupid British! Pray! ”

Beneath the surface of the water outside the British Isles, the submarine captains stared at the periscope and said: "Stupid British! Pray! ”

Seventy nautical miles east of London, the huge German High Seas Fleet was ready to go, some destroyers towed the captured British ships back to the port of Kiel first, and others arrived from the port of Keel, a total of 15 dreadnought-class battleships, 10 armored battleships, 6 light cruisers, 22 destroyers, 2 aircraft carriers, and 2 seaplane carriers were waiting for the order to leave.

On the deck of an aircraft carrier, rows of neat planes have been pushed to the take-off position at one end of the deck, the propellers have been turned, and the green smoke from the engines fills the air.

The sky over the new German airship base in Verner, Belgium was filled with cigar-shaped giants, the crew untied the cables, and the "Zeppelin" buzzed farther and farther, and finally disappeared from people's sight.

Calais, France, a seaside city that had become the frontier of German bombing of the British, filled several large lawns near Calais, and to the south of the city, a rock-filled airfield was being built for the latest "Owl" heavy bombers to take off and land. Ground crews were busy turning propellers for fighter-bombers and bombers, and the ground was soon enveloped in the sound of rumbling engines.

On the platform of the Berlin railway station, Prince watched with pride as tanks and armored cars drove onto the train's flatbed cars. Just last night, with the help of the Empress, he had finally succeeded in persuading Wilhelm II to transfer his Panzer Corps to the front, which would serve as the vanguard of Prince's 5th Army and go straight to Verdun in order to open the eastern gateway to Paris.

At 11 a.m., Londoners finally got what they had been waiting for.

305 German planes flew overwhelmingly over the Dover Strait and appeared over the British. THIS WAS THE LARGEST SWARM FLIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF WOODEN AIRCRAFT, AND THE GERMAN PLANES CARRYING THE RANGE OF 200KG-300KG BROUGHT ABOUT 80 TONS OF ZHA MEDICINE AT ONE TIME, AND THE TASK OF THOUSANDS OF BLACK BOMBS WAS TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAME OF HOPE IN THE HEARTS OF EVERY BRITISH.

Thirty-seven British planes also appeared over London, and the ring-shaped logo under the wings cheered the British on the ground. Unbeknownst to Londoners, these were the last of the existing aircraft and pilots of the British Air Force. Britain, which had more than 200 aircraft at the beginning of the war, lost most of them in France in August, and had suffered another heavy blow over Dover a few days earlier, losing a large number of aircraft and excellent pilots. The pilots on these 37 planes were novices with little experience, and they were also unfamiliar with the performance of the newly installed weapons on the aircraft. Britain's aircraft factories have been in full swing, but the output is still not optimistic, for a long time, most of the aircraft used by the private sector are purchased from Germany, and the British aircraft industry has not been able to make great progress, and their traditional shipbuilding industry can not be compared with it.

In the German fleet, nearly 100 "Sky X" fighter-bombers suddenly accelerated and rushed out, like a flock of eagles pounced on their prey. Many of the German pilots had experienced aerial combat over France and were highly experienced in aerial combat, and they watched the meagre British planes with a keen eye. The improvised machine guns of these British planes were arranged entirely in accordance with the armament of German torpedo planes, which were the weakest type of aircraft in the air except for reconnaissance planes. The machine gun on the front of the British aircraft was simply not on the same level as the German fighter-bombers with 2 machine guns in the bow and 1 machine gun in the co-pilot's position, and the huge difference in experience, quality and numbers quickly turned the battle one-sided.

The British pilots pulled the trigger from a long distance, and strings of white bullets slashed through the air, and the German planes in the distance easily dodged with a slight dodge, and when the distance was closer, they quickly returned to color, and the bullets made a completely different sound on the metal engine and the wooden skeleton.

Londoners had forgotten to hide, adults and children stood in the streets and watched their planes fight the Germans, all expecting the British eagles to drive the Germans away, but the British rings were clearly painted with British rings in the smoke or broken wings. People's moods are getting heavier and heavier.

The sky is getting more and more chaotic, and planes are chasing each other everywhere, raising fears that they will accidentally collide together.

A German fighter-bomber clung to the butt of the British plane, the British obviously did not have many options, coupled with the slow speed of the plane, it was quickly caught up by the German plane, two long strings of bullets slashed across the wings of the British plane, and the British plane suddenly stalled and fell to the ground.

A British biplane single-seater managed to catch up on a German plane, but the British pilot was surprised to find that the other side swung its wings twice, and one made a sharp turn and disappeared. As he was looking around, two strings of deadly bullets flew from his back......

37：0！

The first air battle over London ended with such a large score that the German pilots, while admiring the superior performance of their aircraft, silently admired the British pilots, who were not afraid to fly simple and old planes, and not a single British pilot escaped during the whole slaughtering battle, and they defended the honor of the British air force with their blood.

At this point, except for a small number of old reconnaissance planes, there were no warhawks of the British themselves over the British Isles.

The German fighter-bombers regrouped and the bombers dropped bombs. Black raindrops fell to the ground, and fires and smoke continued to rise.

Just 15 minutes later, the bombing was over. Barracks, factories, and shipyards were the main targets, and the buildings inside were blown up or set on fire, and government and civilian buildings were also partially bombed, and black smoke seemed to be rising from the whole of London. The jingling of fire engines, the cries of people for help, the cries of children, and the firing of British ground machine guns filled almost the entire city, and columns of water sprayed burning houses everywhere.

"I bombed London!" On the German plane on the way back, the pilots felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Seeing the smoke of London, the British naval officers and men clenched their fists and vowed to fight to the death with the German navy, but the German battleships did not appear, and they waited for bombs and torpedoes from the German naval aviation.

Hundreds of large and small warships were crowded in a small sea area, and the decadent German torpedo planes in the "fishing operation" finally showed their might at this time, the torpedo depth was adjusted very shallow, and even the wooden warships were not spared, and iron, wood, and human bodies flew into the air one after another, and many British warships even dodged one torpedo before being hit by another, and the poor wooden hulls of old battleships, a near-miss aerial bomb could blow them out of a big hole, and the British frantically shot at the Germans with machine guns, machine guns, and grenades, Countless white points of light rose diagonally into the air, and then landed on the sea in the distance, splashing countless waters. After the departure of the German planes, the sea was a mess, littered with burning floats and broken logs, and some crooked battleships were struggling to survive on the water, and the overboard British sailors struggled to swim to the surrounding ships.

At lunchtime, the air giants finally flew to the British mainland, and the bombs they carried far exceeded the planes in number and weight, 76 airships of various types brought more than 100 tons of bombs at one time, and the mental pressure caused by the bombshells was not comparable to that of airplanes. A loud bang shook the hearts of every Londoner, as if an iron fist had been slammed into the British land again and again.

The first wave of air raids was over, and the British machine gunners sat in their positions gasping for air, and throughout the morning's fighting, they did not shoot down even a single German plane, and the German planes that bombed the city all dropped their bombs at a higher altitude and did not strafe the ground; The German bombers attacking the British fleet did not lower their altitude at all, and the torpedo planes dropped torpedoes from a great distance. The Germans consciously sacrificed accuracy to ensure the safety of the aircraft and pilots in order to defeat the confidence of the British as much as possible.

London, the citizens of Britain are busy picking up the pieces.

In Calais, France, German pilots sit in the shade of a tree and enjoy a delicious soup of sardines, beef and potatoes.

Over the Strait of Dover, the pilots of German airships munch on bread while admiring the beautiful sea view.

On the aircraft carrier, the pilots of the naval aviation units leisurely drank coffee or watched the crew load the ****** one by one onto the plane, and then let out a sigh.

The British Admiralty, Admiralty Ministers and Admirals looked at the fragrant meal in front of them, but they did not have the intention of moving their mouths; The British War Office, War Secretaries and generals looked at the piles of conscription orders on the table, but they were distressed by the training of recruits and weapons and equipment; The ground crews of the British Air Force wept as they looked at the utensils used by the pilots.

At the mouth of the Thames, the British sailors could no longer bear any patience, and the seven armored battleships and five cruisers of the First Detachment sailed eastward under the leadership of Vice Admiral John Joe, and the six armored battleships and four cruisers of the Second Detachment sailed to Calais, France, under the leadership of Vice Admiral Smith, and many small warships spontaneously joined the two revenge fleets.

When they got the news that the two detachments had set sail without permission, Churchill and Betty stood up in amazement, "Oh God! What are these impulsive stupid cows doing? ”

Shortly after the two British fleets broke away from the bulk of the group, a large number of planes flew over them and flew head-on towards London without looking back, while radio signals continued back to Calais and the High Seas Fleet.

By the time the second wave of planes flew over London, Londoners seemed to be getting used to the noise. Black bombs fell to the ground from the top, white bullets rose into the air from the bottom, and the citizens extinguished the fires and saved people, looking unrelated.

Calais, France, when the French retreated, they destroyed several fortresses near the port of Calais, leaving only a small number of fortress guns, and the fortress was also dilapidated, and now the port defense was carried out by 4 field artillery battalions of the German Army, 12 150 mm and 8 210 mm fortress guns were transported from Germany by train, and are currently installed in temporary coastal fortifications, and 3 submarines and 2 civilian converted patrol boats are moored in the harbor. After receiving the news that the British fleet was heading towards Calais, the German soldiers nervously prepared, the artillerymen all ascended to the gun emplacements, the fortress guns slowly raised their muzzles, and the 16 120 mm howitzers hidden in the woods behind the coast were also ready to fire at any time. Reconnaissance planes flew over the harbor one after another, and all the planes that stayed at several airfields near the coast were transferred to places far away from the coast.

The German High Seas Fleet, 10 dreadnoughts, 6 armored battleships with 16 destroyers, sailed out of formation and formed a battle formation 10 nautical miles in front of the aircraft carrier. On the aircraft carrier, the four school firing planes used to calibrate the projectile impact point were slowly raised to the deck, and the co-pilot carefully adjusted the radios above, and they established direct contact with the firing command post on the battleship.
