Chapter 870: The Conspiracy of the One Will
Boom โ
A huge explosion sounded over London.
With the fall of Ireland and the emergence of the Ming advance army in Scotland, the skies over London are naturally no longer safe.
The Red Baron, who had taken off from Dublin, could barely make it to London to complete a bomb drop.
However, the bomb should not be dropped for more than 10 minutes, otherwise it may face the dilemma of not having enough fuel to return home.
Moreover, the aircraft itself is equipped with more fuel, which also leads to a serious shortage of flight bomb load.
It's just that....
Although the loading of the Ming aircraft is limited, the Ming aircraft is unlimited.
Quantity for quality, using the tactics of the sea of machines to ravage the skies of London.
Not counting the Morishita happy aircraft such as kamikaze, in just five years, the number of high-performance aircraft of the Daming Thunder Dragon 5 and above has soared from less than 300 to more than 3,000 now.
The number of land-based aircraft deployed in Ireland has already reached 700, and with the addition of carrier-based aircraft, the total number exceeds 1,200.
If only the number is concerned, the total number of planes of the Ming Dynasty is likely to have surpassed that of the rabbits of later generations.
Of course, this statement is probably as ridiculous as "the Japanese had aircraft carriers eighty years ago, and the Chinese still treat aircraft carriers as treasures."
The real situation is that a J-20 can be compared to an uncle and uncle plane of the Ming Dynasty.
If the fuel and missiles are sufficient, a J-20 will not be injured and the Royal Air Force of the Ming Empire, which Zhu Fugui is proud of, will not be a problem.
Da-da-da-da.
The War Department's newly modified anti-aircraft machine gun made a tentative round of firing, which was followed by a mute of fire.
"What a garbage invention!"
The Heavy cursed a few words, then quickly covered his head and withdrew from the trench.
Although it solved the water-cooling problem that had plagued the British military industry, the anti-aircraft machine gun turned out to be useless in the end.
There are two reasons for this.
One is the insufficient range.
This could have been compensated for by the reduction in altitude when the Ming aircraft dived to bomb the target.
However, the Daming Air Force bombed the city of London like a marquee, and did not use the technique of dive bombing.
Because the bombing of London was originally aimed at striking behind enemy lines and destroying the enemy's will to fight, similar to the bombing of Tokyo, it is natural that the hit rate is not important.
Drop bombs at will, bomb indiscriminately.
This, naturally, does not require a dive.
In addition to this, there was an even more important reason for the uselessness of anti-aircraft machine guns on the battlefield.
That is, the arsenals of the British Empire could no longer supply so many bullets.
If it is ground-to-ground, the machine gun can still be heard, and with barbed wire and pillboxes, it does have a certain cost performance.
Can be against the air...
That's a bottomless pit of gold!
Was the British Empire poor?
Theoretically, it is not poor, at least not to the point of exhaustion.
Ali Hino's shock therapy really saved the British government's finances.
They completely overdrew the last national credibility of the century-old empire, and looted the British citizens and the only gold reserves of a certain Austrian emperor through national debts and other means.
As a result, in the British Empire's treasury, in the Queen's private estate, and in the safes of the True Draconians, there was even more hard currency such as gold and jewels than before the war.
But when the whole country is paralyzed, even gold can't be turned into a bullet in a machine gun.
What's more, who is so stupid to take the lead in scattering all the wealth and destroying the family for the country?
If Uncle Chongzhen knew underground, he would definitely hang on the crooked neck tree and look at the smoky city of London, and let out a squeaky sneer.
The only difference is that Zhu Youzhen really has no money.
Victoria, she's really rich...
Bang โ
A bomb landed on the Horseshoe Brewery, reducing a dilapidated warehouse to ashes.
This bomb from Daming was unfortunate.
Because it didn't destroy any worthy targets except for smashing up some masonry and hardened dung.
It's a bomb that loses money completely, and it dies less than a feather.
Horseshoe beer is a slightly bitter beer that is a favorite drink of the London working class.
And the secret to its reputation is very simple, and that is cheapness.
A penny can buy a big bucket.
However, the misdeeds of the upper echelons destroyed London's financial system and also destroyed the horseshoe brewery.
Even without the bombardment of the Ming Dynasty, this brewery, which has been closed for many months, would not be able to escape the fate of slowly rotting.
A couple of children poked their heads out of the rubble and began to look for something useful.
They come from the surrounding slums, and their parents are workers or small craftsmen.
But under the tyranny of Churchill, the damn fat pig, their parents' incomes have become more and more meager.
It's dangerous to brave artillery fire to find supplies, but it's when the shells fall that you find good things.
Confucius said, Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, and Liu Zongyuan said, Harsh government is fiercer than a king cobra.
Obviously, the tyranny of the British government is far more terrible than the bomb of the Ming Dynasty.
A boy with a freckled face suddenly jumped out of joy: "You see, I found shrapnel from the Mingguo bomb, which is made of iron, and can be exchanged for a lot of ......."
The boy originally wanted to say that he could exchange a lot of money.
But on second thought, isn't money worse than waste paper?
So he changed his words: "We can get bread or cotton from old John!" โ
The children hula surrounded them and hurriedly continued to search for shrapnel nearby.
There was more to this place than a bunch of scavengers, and they had to be searched before the big kids arrived.
"Hey, Jimmy, come and see if there's a painting on this piece of iron?"
The little girl Emily made a new discovery, and quickly called the leader of the group, Jimmy, the freckled boy who first discovered shrapnel.
On the charred shrapnel were words they didn't recognize.
But around those words, there are many immature pictures, which are simple and easy to understand.
Obviously, these drawings should have been made by a group of children.
In the picture, the Peppa Pig family, which is simply sketched, are riding a car to the zoo to play.
The zoo is home to lions, tigers, elephants and giraffes.
Jimmy also got to know these animals a long time ago, when his parents took him to the circus.
That trip to the circus is Jimmy's fondest memory.
"Look, there's a picture on this shrapnel!"
"It's Daddy Pig and Mother Pig preparing a picnic chop for Peppa! It's drooling. It's been a long time since I've eaten meat... โ
Just when the children were yearning for the beautiful life in the picture, a few angry scoldings came from afar.
When the children saw that it was the older children who were picking up the garbage, they quickly picked up some shrapnel and ran towards the muddy alley.
Old John is the slum king who recycles all kinds of rags, and is a very stingy old man.
"I can only give you two black breads, which is already the most merciful price."
"But Mr. John, these are steels from Daming, much better than the steel produced by Fred Steelworks...
"Then keep these hard things for dinner!"
Old John ignored the cries of the children, and picked up a stick to drive them away.
"Well, two black loaves of bread are two black loaves of bread!"
Jimmy reluctantly accepted the lower and lower offer.
"You wait!"
As Jimmy was about to leave with the black bread in his arms, Old John suddenly stopped him.
Old John removed a pair of glasses from the shelf, wiped them with a rag, and placed them on the bridge of his nose.
He stared at Jimmy's reddish-brown hair for a moment with his glasses on, and nodded imperceptibly.
"Your expression is strange!"
Jimmy frowned, instinctively disgusted, and turned away.
Looking at the boy's distant back, the corners of Old John's mouth showed a cruel sneer.
If you have lived in this slum for more than seven or eight years, you will remember that the grocery store that John Sr. now runs originally belonged to a Jewish couple.
During the massacre seven or eight years ago, John Sr. obtained a portion of their property, or inheritance, by reporting the Jewish couple.
Everyone remembers very well that it was John Sr. himself who dragged the neighbor's couple's only little daughter out of the closet and sent her to the "bathhouse".
For these "exploits", Old John did not shy away from it at all.
Plundering the wealth of others is inherently God's right to the advanced nations, not to mention that what you do is completely legal.
It can be said that he robbed with a privateer certificate issued by Her Majesty the Queen and endorsed by the Prime Minister, and he was just doing what his ancestors did.
Now, John Sr. realizes that a new opportunity for plunder has arisen in front of him.
A Scottish family...
Although it doesn't look like there is any oil and water, at least you can change some fresh soap and put it on the shelf...
Because of the successive "rebellions" in Ireland and Scotland, the British government has become more and more uneasy about Celtic descendants.
Just two days earlier, John Sr. had heard from his son, John Jr., who worked in the Home Office at Socrates Field (commonly known as the Metropolitan Police Department in London), that an order to hunt down the Celts was probably imminent.
After killing the fat sheep of the Jews, the vitality of the empire has not been restored.
Although the Celts are just a thin and woody hen, they can also fill their stomachs at critical times...
โฆโฆ
"The people are miserable, and so are your families!"
"Listen to me, Her Majesty never wants the people to suffer so much, it is the privileged faction around him, and it is the damned fat pig Churchill who hides the suffering of the people and the true national situation from her, which has led to today's situation!"
"The people who delivered supplies for the European theater on the Thames, the servicemen who fought against the German army outside Paris, their wives and sons are still starving at home!
But he didn't know that the murderous Ming people had already gone south from Scotland, and they were pressing forward step by step!
Today we are going to punish the thieves and let Her Majesty know the incompetence of the Churchill government! โ
Jimmy took the remaining half of the black bread in his arms and hurried home.
Someone was shouting again in the square in front of the chapel.
Jimmy heard that there have been a lot more people like this lately, and the police are too lazy to care.
They set up a few wooden boxes and could stand on them and talk for an afternoon.
It's still a slum, and there are more of them in a larger church square.
Only the whistling of the Mingguo planes could silence them for a while.
As Jimmy hurried by, a young man in a shirt with a stand-up collar suddenly asked the speaker on the wooden box in a loud voice:
"But our Majesty the Queen is almost sixty years old, and she no longer has any healthy heirs, how can she lead us to punish Churchill, the fat pig, and how can she lead us to resist the Great Khan of the Ming Kingdom?"
Poofโ
Jimmy couldn't help but chuckle.
If I remember correctly, this is the third time I've heard this young man ask this question.
It's just that every time he changes into different clothes and uses a different voice.
Although he doesn't know what "To" is, Jimmy knows very well that these people are all in a group, and what they say must not be credible.
Sure enough, the speaker started his own performance, as he had done on previous occasions.
He first angrily rebuked the questioner for his unwarranted suspicions about the Queen's health.
Then he had to admit bitterly that the queen was indeed old, and neither were his children.
The eldest prince Edward was cremated along with the new warship of the Empire, and his body was not completely dead.
The second prince, Alfred, was cremated with the Empire's new airship, barely leaving a piece of frozen barbecued pork.
The third prince, Arthur, was placed under house arrest in India by the Ming Kingdom and became a puppet.
You can't say that British Orthodoxy is in India, right?
As for the fourth prince, Leopold...
There is no doubt that Olipath, who suffered from severe hemophilia and epilepsy, was by no means the ideal heir to the throne.
What's more, Victoria's dislike for this son is almost public.
If Victoria's dislike for the boss Edward comes from his stupidity, then Victoria's dislike for the fourth comes from his looks.
Victoria once made no secret of saying that Prince Olipard was the ugliest of her children.
(pictured)
Victoria also commented: "He [Leopold] walked shockingly, behaved in a desperate manner, spoke quite badly, and was a fragile child. โ
Even, at the worst of times, Leopold was beaten by his servants.
The servant refused to serve Leopold, who had swollen legs, and hit him on the head with a spoon.
Of course, this servant is not an ordinary person either.
He was Victoria's lover named Brown, or the younger brother of Face.
In this regard, Zhu Fugui also telegraphed the world to criticize Victoria's unruly behavior.
This also caused Olybald to become less and less popular with his mother.
But now, this ugly and fragile son is the only seedling left by this iron-masked queen.
Victoria lost her father when she was a child, but she was extremely iron-fisted in politics;
She has been obsessed with love all her life, but she has no more lovers;
She didn't like small babies, but she gave birth to 9 children in 17 years, including 4 princes......
Ten years ago, I am afraid that no one would have worried about whether this generation of British royal family would be extinct.
But now, the issue of the heir is nothing more than a gray rhinoceros in a room, and everyone knows it's there, but no one wants to mention it.
But the talkative speaker standing on the box clearly doesn't shy away from the topic.
He analyzed seriously: "Think about it, if we exclude Prince Olypod, who is difficult to take on the important task, and consider that our British Empire does not exclude female heirs, then it is not difficult for us to see that the real first heir of His Majesty Victoria is actually ...... The late Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the heirs of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......"
Speaking of excitement, the speaker even showed a German accent, but the time was too short for people to notice.
There are not only Jinyiwei in the world, nor only MI6, but also the famous Abwehr.
This intelligence agency, which was born in the Prussian era, has a much stronger ability to operate in Britain than the [White Hound] of the Jinyi Guard, for obvious reasons.
