714 Continued bombing of Japan
Emperor Meiji frowned, and the three ladies were even more embarrassed, women already loved cleanliness, and they were the concubines of Emperor Meiji, and letting them take shelter in a stinky pond was even more terrible than killing them.
Sonoko cried and sprinkled Jiao, Yanagihara Aiko shook her head into a rattle, and although Ichijo Miko remained calm, her face was full of reluctance.
Emperor Meiji secretly thought that the Emperor of the Empire of Japan was going to take refuge in a stinky pond, and if this was spread, what would be the dignity of the Empire of Japan!
Emperor Meiji said angrily: "Ridiculous, how can we go to such a place, my guards, escort me out of the city immediately." ”
At this time, the emperor's escort rushed over, and an attendant hurriedly found the captain and proposed to send the Meiji Emperor out of the city, the captain hurriedly shook his head and said: "This is not good, now that the streets and alleys of Tokyo are on fire, and there are rioters taking the opportunity to make trouble, if you go out, it will be too dangerous." ”
"If we don't go out of the city, where can we go, do we really want me to hide in a stinking pond?" Since Japan didn't expect Lin Fei to send an airship to attack Tokyo at all, they didn't prepare an emergency plan at all, and now it seems that hiding in a stinky pond is the only way.
"This ...... There is no way to hide in the stinky pond, Your Majesty, please be wronged. ”
Seeing the flames approaching step by step, Emperor Meiji bit his heart with his teeth, "Okay, let's go into the water!" Emperor Meiji took the three ladies and a group of entourage, pinched their noses and went into the pond, the three ladies of course hugged the Meiji Emperor, crying, and the other maids were also sobbing quietly.
Emperor Meiji looked at the burning palace, looked at the smoke that filled the sky over Tokyo, and looked at the three wives who cried into tears, and scolded Lin Fei over and over again in his heart, and secretly decided that this revenge must be avenged.
However, the fire burned for a while, and something that made Emperor Meiji even more angry happened, the fire stopped thirty or forty meters away from the pond, and it did not burn at all, that is, there was no need for Emperor Meiji and Empress and two attendants to get into the stinky pond and soak in stinky water in vain.
Emperor Meiji led the crowd out of the pond with a stench, bathed and changed clothes, and was embarrassed.
At this time, more than three hours have passed since the Monkey King airship dropped the fire rat incendiary bomb, and the flames of the palace have gradually stopped, after all, the palace is different from the urban area, the urban area is full of wooden buildings, and the flames are not finished as soon as they burn, and the buildings of the palace are relatively scattered, and the flames are not easy to spread.
Emperor Meiji went to the Imperial Palace of Tokyo and set out firefighting in the palaces, and the fires in the city became smaller, and the citizens got rid of their panic and began to put out the fires.
By 10 p.m., the city-wide fire was gradually extinguished, the Japanese police and army began to collect the bodies of the victims, and the city hall began to count the number of houses burned.
It took a day for the results to be counted, and it was not until the next day, November 26, that the City Hall reported the damage caused by the fire to Emperor Meiji.
The fire destroyed more than 30,000 houses, killed and choked more than 20,000 people, burned and choked more than 50,000 people, and left nearly 150,000 people homeless.
In this fire, the mayor of Tokyo was killed, the Yasukuni Shrine, the pride of Japan and the spiritual pillar of foreign wars, was completely burned down, the artifact Yaga Mirror was shattered by the shock wave generated by the explosion, the grass pheasant sword was cracked by the high temperature, the main hall of the Yasukuni Shrine was razed to the ground, and all the items in the collection of the Yushokan were destroyed.
The Tokyo Imperial Palace, the symbol of the Japanese Empire, also suffered heavy losses, with the main hall completely destroyed by fire and the Jogoden two-thirds destroyed by fire.
When Emperor Meiji saw this loss report, he was furious, looking at the casualty figure, it was actually not big, but this was not a casualty on the battlefield, but a casualty in Japan.
Emperor Meiji's chest burned with great anger, and he instructed the governor of Korea and the commander-in-chief of the conquest of China, Nogi Noshinori, to immediately dispatch troops to attack Shanhaiguan and give Lin Fei some powerful tastes.
Nogi Noshinori, the Japanese god of war in Lin Fei's era, was defeated by Lin Fei in the Taiwan War, and he cleaned up very badly, and he had long been holding back his strength to seek revenge against Lin Fei, and now he received an order from Emperor Meiji to immediately order the Korean division and the Japanese division to move to Shanhaiguan and prepare to fight to the death with Lin Fei.
The bombing of Tokyo came to an end, in this battle, Lin Fei dispatched sixteen Monkey King airships, and threw 30 tons of fire rat incendiary bombs into the urban area of Tokyo, causing serious casualties and property losses.
After the explosion in Tokyo, Lin Fei found the US ambassador and asked the US ambassador to forward a letter to the Japanese diplomat, which was full of Lin Fei's flaunting and might--Japanese, you see, if you anger me Lin Fei, you will end up like this.
The Japanese diplomat immediately sent this letter full of ostentation and provocation back to China and sent it to Emperor Meiji, who was so angry that he almost fainted, but Emperor Meiji had no means to counter Lin Fei, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Emperor Meiji thought that Lin Fei bombed Tokyo, but he didn't expect that two days later, the Monkey King airship flew to Japan again, this time the Monkey King airship bombed not Tokyo, but Nagasaki on Kyushu Island, Nagasaki is one of the closest Japanese cities to China, only 800 kilometers away from Weihai, bombing here, much easier than bombing Tokyo.
Lin Gecheng saw that there were no Japanese airships taking off to intercept during the last bombing, so he further reduced the number of escort airships, and when bombing Tokyo, there were six Monkey King airships acting as escort airships, and when bombing Nagasaki, Lin Gecheng reduced this number to four, that is, thirty-six tons of incendiary bombs could be dropped in Nagasaki at a time.
Nagasaki was soon engulfed in flames, and the Monkey King airship was a fire rat cocktail thrown at various factories in Nagasaki, where a variety of flammable industrial products were stored, making the fire even more vigorous.
The reason why Lin Fei wanted to use the Monkey King airship to bomb Nagasaki was because Lin Fei planned to start a strategic suppression plan, and the core of the strategic suppression plan was to use the Monkey King airship to carry out continuous bombing of the Japanese mainland, so as to deal a heavy blow to Japan's war potential and war will.
So Lin Fei ordered Lin Gecheng to use all the Monkey King airships to bomb the Japanese mainland, Lin Fei realized at this time that sixteen airships were too few, so Lin Fei ordered various factories to speed up the production of Monkey King's airships, and in the next three months, it is best to manufacture more than fifty Monkey King airships.
What does it take to build a Monkey King? Airbags, by the light industry plant, that is, the Chiyou City Light Industry Center is not difficult to solve.
The pod, made using aluminum alloy, which is supplied by Vietnam Nonferrous Metal Machining Center, also has no problem.
The drive propellers, supplied by the Samar Propeller Factory, were also not a problem.
Engine, engine is a problem, Lin Fei originally used the Diesel I engine for the Monkey King's airship, and later began to use the Diesel II engine for the Monkey King's airship, at this time, after the Diesel II engine was produced, it was all taken away by the army's plundering artillery vehicles, Lin Fei decided to transfer half of the Diesel II engine to the Monkey King's airship.
Lin Fei's decision was strongly opposed by the army generals, and Li Mingming, chief of the General Staff, and Niu Dalong, commander of the First Group Army, said one after another that the most important thing was to equip the army with artillery and combat vehicles as soon as possible.
The generals of the air force expressed their support, and Lin Gecheng, the commander of the airship unit, and Liu Jingkong, the commander of the hot air balloon unit, praised Lin Fei for his incomparable wisdom.
Lin Fei was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing whether to lean the policy towards the army or the air force, but he didn't expect that at this time, a soldier's words would inspire Lin Fei.
That day, Lin Fei was walking around the yard, thinking about the distribution of the diesel engine of the Diesel II, when he overheard two guards discussing.
One of the guards said, "You said that the Plundering Artillery Chariot or the Monkey King Airship, who is more powerful?" ”
Lin Fei laughed when he heard the guards' words, these guards are very interesting, they especially like to discuss the strength of weapons, they also like to make rankings for weapons, and Lin Fei has always scoffed at these rankings, the reason is very simple, weapons are not produced to compare the superior, but to kill people and fight, any weapon, with the change of the environment and between the strong and the weak, the strong may become weak, the weak may become stronger.
Another guard smiled and said: "Needless to say, of course it's the Monkey King Airship, the Monkey King Airship is flying in the sky, can you beat it with an invasion artillery chariot?" ”
The guard from before was very disdainful, "Hmph, the Plundering Artillery Chariot can be used for ground occupation, is your Monkey King Airship okay?" Now His Majesty plans to recover the Northeast, plans to attack Burma, and captures the places that have been captured, can he rely on the Monkey King airship to defend it? ”
For Lin Fei, these words were like an enlightenment, the two soldiers were right, the most important thing for them to do now was to recover the lost territory and open up the territory, so the artillery and chariots of invasion were even more important.
Lin Fei immediately decided to allocate one-fifth of the produced Diesel II engine to the Monkey King Airship, and the rest to the plundered artillery chariots, even so, the number of Monkey King Airships could be increased.
What Lin Fei didn't expect was that while he was actively preparing, Emperor Meiji also began to prepare airships to bomb Dayu City!
