Chapter 154: Between Gains and Losses
This time the bombing campaign was considered unsuccessful within the bomber force. More than 70 bombers were shot down and nearly 400 killed, the largest loss ever suffered by the Royal Air Force since it entered the war. In the summary of the battle, Long Xiaotian did not evade, but bluntly pointed out that His Majesty's mandatory order to bomb Tokyo was the main reason for the excessive losses in this operation.
Of course, the commander of hell is still more proficient in life, and after Geng Yan's direct advice, his tone changed, "Although the air force has suffered large losses, from a strategic point of view, the bombing of Tokyo has boosted the morale of the military and people of the allies, and expressed our determination and confidence in defeating the enemy!" In this respect, the bombing of Tokyo was a relatively successful operation......"
"Shit success!" When he saw this summary, Zhong Yi slammed the battle report on the bookcase. "I'm not a cripple, I need to sacrifice pilots to arouse public confidence. Boost the morale of a fart, such a big loss, more than 400 pilots, all died because of my vanity. What is the bombing of Tokyo? Killing Hirohito is not as good as the lives of my 400 pilots. It's all my fault......"
Self-blame, deep self-blame, should not listen to book friends...... No, shouldn't you meddle in the command of the bomber unit in order to satisfy your own vanity, so many military industrial cities are not bombed, you have to fly long distances to the east coast to bomb Tokyo, do you read too many genesis novels or movies?
War does not die, and victory must be sacrificed, but this time the sacrifice is so worthless. One general is incompetent, tired of thousands of troops!
All day, Zhong Yi locked himself in the study, and the two girls were entangled for a long time, before they dared to knock on the door by Leng Meiren, but a water cup inside smashed on the door, so frightened that Qin Yingxue shrank her hand and shed tears, and she didn't dare to approach the study again.
Mr. Yip is in Hong Kong; Captain Qian saw that the limelight was not good, so he had already hid far away. Those who are still in the imperial capital can speak in front of His Majesty, and the only ones who can speak in front of His Majesty are Commander Chiang and Finance Minister Hebar. Hai Ni sobbed while calling the two, I heard that His Majesty locked himself in the house and had not eaten or drunk for a day, Jiang Yunzhi flew into the palace in his own Hai Dongqing, because the palace guards did not allow him to land directly in the royal area, and also scolded Qian Zhihao, who drove to Yutang Airport.
It was said in "The Secret Biography of He Shen" that Shengwei is irreversible, but this Jiang Hei face can't be provoked! The people put up the old chief's shelf, and Captain Qian had no choice but to bow his head and admit it, pretending to be an honest and loyal person, and took Commander Jiang to the royal area.
Without waiting for the car to stop, Jiang Yunzhi jumped out of the car door, and instead of taking the jade road, he walked through the lawn. Seeing Qian Zhihao behind him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, that is, this big guy dared to do this, change someone, without His Majesty to speak, Captain Qian took him down directly!
The cold beauties and goblins who were at a loss and didn't know how to be good, seeing Jiang Yunzhi's arrival, they could be regarded as seeing the backbone, "Commander Jiang ......"
"What's going on? What the hell is going on, Your Majesty will lock himself up? Waving her hand, she didn't care about etiquette, and Heinie cried on the phone, and she didn't make it clear.
Director Qin was more steady, briefly recounted today's events, and gave Jiang Yunzhi the battle report sent from Taiwan. Jiang Yunzhi has already read this war report, and every member of the Military Commission in wartime has a share. When I watched it, I didn't think there was anything special, about the summary of the bombing of Tokyo, Jiang Yunzhi still high-fived and applauded at the time, thinking that Long Xiaotian was making a big fuss, is there a war! How can there be immortals? His Majesty's idea is obviously a stroke of genius, bombing the capital of little Japan and striking a blow to the arrogance of the devils.
Unexpectedly, for this matter, His Majesty blamed himself and locked himself up. "Nonsense, not enough success!" scolded in a low voice, if Long Xiaotian was in front of him, Jiang Yunzhi would definitely go up and smack him a few times, "It seems that Your Majesty was too casual and tolerant of the officers and soldiers in the army before, so he made such a mistake." ”
Haini wiped the tears from the corners of her mouth and nodded fiercely, "That's it, this Long Xiaotian is too unusual!" ”
Qin Yingxue felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, but Director Qin, who had a cold personality, would not say anything at this time, but just moved a pair of beautiful eyes to the door of the study.
It seems that the sincerity of the cold beauty moved His Majesty, and the door of the study actually opened gently in Qin Yingxue's surprised gaze, and Zhong Yi, who came out, twisted his body, and the long time at the desk made His Majesty's body a little numb.
"Yo, Yunzhi, when did you come?" Although some wondered why the two daughters were crying and laughing, it was obvious that Jiang Yunzhi should have said hello first!
"I ......" Seeing the smile on His Majesty's face, Jiang Yunzhi looked at the two imperial concubines in a bit of confusion.
"What, there's still something hard to say?" His Majesty realized that something might have happened that he didn't know, "That Xue'er, you go and arrange it, I'll have a drink with Yun Zhi, and talk about military affairs by the way!" ”
"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten this day, or do you want to eat something first and then drink a bar?" Urgent for His Majesty's needs can be obtained from the wishes of the Holy Grace. At this time, it is time for Captain Qian to step forward. Of course, this trick was also learned from "The Secret Biography of Heshen", however, Qian Chang's team obviously still had not been able to communicate with adults, and this time the holy intention was not clearly understood.
"Who says I haven't eaten in a day? The plate of dim sum that Cher made yesterday eats my straight support! By the way, Yunzhi, you can also taste Xue'er's hand in a while, it tastes really good. ”
…… A holy word, the whole room was speechless. His Majesty is holding up enough, and we are all anxious enough. Jiang Yunzhi didn't know what to say, this is the so-called concern and chaos!
"Come, Yunzhi, sit. Zhihao, don't go, let's have a good chat tonight! Cher, take a bottle of the old He family's treasured Gabernet and try it......"
"Huh? Your Majesty, my family is really gone! "There was no helicopter to drive, and as soon as the belated Chancellor of the Exchequer Hebar entered the door, he heard His Majesty thinking about the barrels of his winery pressing the bottom of the box.
"Haha......" The laughter from the Jinhua Hall finally relaxed the guards and workers outside the hall who had been suppressed for a day.
This time, Zhong Yi really fell into deep self-blame, but it was by no means a decadence that was hit all at once, but more determined not to stretch out his hand indiscriminately and let professionals do professional work. Locked in the study, the main reason is to take a good wisp of war ideas, take Taiwan, and Japan's defeat is decided. Although this bombing appeared to be somewhat impulsive and reckless, it also proved that a strategic bombing of the Japanese mainland was feasible. If we continue to carry out the "Houyi Plan" and bomb several important industrial areas in Japan, Japan's war capability will inevitably decline sharply, and when all the military industrial enterprises on which it depends for its survival have been blown up, there is only one way to surrender that awaits it.
Zhong Yi firmly believes in this, but ...... And then what?
