855 explosions over London

"Charlie, run!"

"Dot, he's catching up with you. 【 I want: super fast update ]"

On the foggy street, little Charlie cried with his cheeks and bread in his arms, and ran desperately out of the city amid the screams of a large group of street children.

Behind him, old Buck, the bearded bakery, brandished a thicker than his arm, and roared viciously, as if to tear the thin little Charlie apart.

Running in the streets and alleys, little Charlie can hardly see many people except for the thick fog, and this world-famous fog has suddenly become extremely quiet recently.

He was not yet old enough to understand war, but he was well aware that the country had fallen into an unprecedented dead silence since the incident on the other side, which the adults called stupid Frenchman, and a kind of despair and uneasiness appeared on everyone's face, and the self-confidence and smile of the empire on which the sun had never set a few years ago gradually faded from the country, leaving only hunger, poverty, and death.

"Run, at the point, old Buck is catching up."

At the urging of his partner, little Charlie, who saw that he had no way out, suddenly turned left and got into an alley, and the narrow street helped him at the same time, but also made the roar of Old Buck behind him more and more hideous and terrifying.

Some pedestrians on the street stopped in a hurry, staring blankly at the picture of a strong man in an apron chasing a homeless child, and the jerky and bread in little Charlie's arms attracted a sound of saliva.

Little Charlie was out of breath and didn't know how far he had run with his buddies, until the city buildings were gradually left behind and he couldn't see clearly, and Old Buck's voice faded away.

After getting the precious food, the children laughed heartily, took out their "swag" and sat down in the woods on the outskirts to enjoy it, many of them could not remember the last time they ate bread, and it was probably a few years since the meat was eaten.

After gobbling up his belly and thinking that he could guarantee that he would not starve again for at least two days, little Charlie walked to the river. As he squatted on the grass and just picked up the water, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from overhead.

The sound attracted little Charlie and his friends, and everyone scattered to search and thought that they had encountered a rare bee colony, and when they had a chance to taste the bees, the buzzing gradually moved in the direction of the city.

Just when everyone was searching to no avail, a homeless child suddenly pointed overhead and shouted, and little Charlie looked up only to see dozens of huge egg-like airships flying towards London in the fog. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

"What's that?"

"I know, it's an airship, I've seen it in Northampton."

"Whose airship, so many? What are they doing here? ”

The wandering children talked a lot, and followed the airship all the way with curiosity, but how could the speed of running keep up with the airship, and they watched the airship disappear into the thick fog, and they could no longer see the shadow of the behemoth.

Suddenly!

A few kilometers away, in the city of London, a deafening explosion sounded, black smoke clouds were particularly visible in the fog, and when several huge mushroom clouds rose into the air, all the children, including little Charlie, were frightened and hid in the woods.

Piercing sirens sounded from all over London, and the fighters who took off urgently began to desperately pursue the German airship that was about to leave, but the planes that could only climb to about 6,000 meters could not touch the Zeppelin at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and could only watch the other side cross the channel, and then fly towards Calais, France, under the response of a large number of German planes.

When little Charlie and the children returned to the city, they found that the bakery owner Old Buck, who had just chased them and had a black heart in everyone's mouths, was sitting on the ground crying, and the bakery that had been in business for a lifetime had been reduced to rubble with several other shops, and orange flames were spreading all over the street.

Little Charlie walked through the streets that had become so unfamiliar that it was a hellish scene for him, only to see houses in rubble, huge craters covering the streets, and radial wreckage and ...... beside the craters Corpse!

Mutilated corpses!

A body that had been scorched by the explosion, losing its head and left arm, hung halfway from the window of the bombed-out house, black and red blood dripping down the broken neck, and all the intestines and spleens were squeezed out of the belly, and appeared in front of him in a disgusting appearance wrapped in viscous body fluids.

"Wow......."

Little Charlie couldn't hold back any longer, leaning against the wall and spitting, and all the meatloaf and wheat bread that had just been considered supremely delicious were spat out.

Fire trucks and police arrived at the scene, and soon after the bodies were removed, the army began to move in in a steady stream, and a large number of sandbags and various bunkers appeared in the streets and alleys, and the rapid-fire guns and machine guns pointed at the sky made little Charlie feel a little relieved, but also a little more nervous.

At the Prime Minister's House at 10 Downing Street, Lieutenant General Brett, the newly arrived Chief of Police and Commander-in-Chief of British Home Defence, was reporting to Prime Minister Lloyd George and Inside the damage caused by the bombing in the morning.

"Most of the bombs were dropped on the edge of the city, but in addition to London, reports of bombing were reported in Rochester, Kingston and Maidstone." Lieutenant General Britt, who was full of energy and as strong as a bull, said: "Judging by the scale and the damage caused, this bombing is far more terrible than the previous attacks we have encountered, and according to eyewitness accounts, the bombs used by the Germans this time are more powerful than before. ”

"This is exactly what I am strange, so I asked people to collect some bomb shrapnel for analysis and comparison, and came to a very bad conclusion!" Lieutenant General Brett held up two photographs and said very seriously: "The one on my left was obtained after the bombing of Ceylon before, and the one on the right was taken after the explosion this morning, judging from the shape of the bomb shrapnel and the sequence number on it, it is almost identical, so we suspect ......." ”

"God, could it be that the Chinese planes have already arrived in the open sea and participated in the bombing!"

Lieutenant General Brett's words were like a heavy bomb that exploded the entire conference room, and even Lloyd George stood up violently, rushed to him and snatched two photos to compare them carefully.

The more I look at the photo, the more solemn George's face becomes, although the string of white numbers is not quite the same, but the font and shape are obviously the same!

As the photo was passed to Admiralty Edward, his face turned pale, and when he saw the questioning gazes cast by everyone, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" Although our navy has suffered heavy losses, it is completely possible to detect and ensure the safety of the coastal waters, although we did find signs of Chinese submarine activity in the nearby waters, but yesterday's intelligence also showed that they were all on the east coast, and they also bombed New York and other coastal cities, so it is impossible to cross the Atlantic! ”

"Could that be an aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, intelligence says that their kind of large bomber can fly more than 1,500 kilometers, and it is completely possible to fly from Malta to France, or from Italy to Germany."

"It's unlikely." The military adviser to the Prime Minister's Office shook his head and said: "The Chinese have extremely strict technical control over their aircraft, and even if they fall on the battlefield, there will definitely be planes that will carry out destructive bombing of the falling ground, so I don't think it is possible for them to put their planes under the noses of the Germans at the moment!" ”

"I think so too." Marshal Kitchener, who had just returned from the front, frowned and analyzed: "Guys, please don't forget that the Chinese have provided great assistance to Germany before, and I think that in the case that their own aerial bombs are inferior to the other side, Germany is very likely to directly purchase mature bombs from Li Mo and then use them in this bombing."

Moreover, the main technology of the Zeppelin airship comes from the airship purchased by Germany from Li Mo back then, and there is basically no problem with matching ammunition, so I think it should be Li Mo who provided aerial bombs to Germany! ”

Kitchener's analysis finally relieved everyone, but then another problem arose, that is, Germany should have mastered the world's best aerial bomb technology from the ammunition sold to China.

This is no joke, although aerial bombs are simple and can be used with artillery shells, it is not easy to make good ammunition. Edward had a say in this, in the early days of the war, after China showed unparalleled aviation superiority, Britain also began to develop good planes and bombs, the aircraft has not been broken through because of engine and other problems, it should be said that it is not unexpected, but the ammunition technology has not been able to meet the opponent's standards, which made him a little puzzled when he was just promoted to the Minister of the Navy.

It was not until he learned in detail that he knew that the original aerial bombs had very high requirements for the shape of the body, tail, fuse, charge, and so on, and that according to the information he had, the two types of 250/500 kg bombs that China is currently using began to be developed as early as 10 years ago, during which it is said that a large amount of manpower and material resources were gathered and spent several years to find the best bomb type.

Edward was sure that with Limer's sex, he would never sell manufacturing technology, and even if he did, he would definitely need Wilhelm II to purchase a certain amount, but with Germany's industrial capacity, as long as he obtained a physical bomb, it would not take long to make it and equip his troops.

Fortunately, at present, German planes are not much better than those of the British, and they can only rely on a large number of low-safety zeppelins, and if they rely only on airships, it is estimated that they will not be able to achieve the terrifying air offensive intensity of China.

"Prime Minister!"

While everyone was discussing the bombing and the way to deal with the German air attack in the future, the secretary began to shout almost as soon as he pushed the door open, shouting in horror: "We have just received news that Wilhelm II, in his speech to the Congolese Parliament, has given us an ultimatum demanding that ...... must be ...... Immediately lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally, or you will attack our homeland! ”
