In the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, the monarchs and staff of Germany, Lucia, and Italy looked at an important document together.

It was a telegram print of the official declaration of war sent by the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.

German monarch Wilhelm was obviously very surprised and asked around:

"Haven't we already started negotiations with Da Ming? Why did the Ming directly declare war? ”

Prime Minister Stein also had a look of obvious disbelief:

"There was no relevant response from Daming Honglu Temple, and they did not give any feedback on our conditions at all.

"There has not even been any response from the League of Nations channels, and our representatives in the League of Nations have not been able to see the representatives of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Nicholas of Lucia frowned and said:

"Da Ming, this is seeing through our idea of procrastinating time? So you don't want to continue to negotiate and communicate with us meaninglessly? ”

King Vittorio of Italy said with some chagrin and trepidation:

"Obviously, the Ming thought that we were not sincere, that we did not stop attacking the British, and that we had put forward very exaggerated conditions.

"More than ten years ago, Da Ming often did not respond to the opponent's negotiation requests, and they would directly eliminate the opponent completely."

The King of Italy said this, but the Emperor Lucia showed a rather eerie smile:

"We are not the same as we were more than ten years ago, I want to see if Da Ming has the ability to wipe us all out!"

King Wilhelm of Germany said directly:

"At this point, there is nothing to discuss, let's go straight to the implementation of Operation Great Eastern."

Emperor Lucia and his staff also nodded.

The King of Germany took out a document and asked Emperor Lucia and the King of Italy to sign it.

The plan of action to attack the Ming Dynasty was officially launched.

The three monarchs also immediately left for Constantinople, and the center of gravity of the war had shifted from Western Europe to Eastern Europe.

According to the so-called Great Eastern Operation formulated by the staff of the three countries, the first large-scale goal was to seize the Dashi Peninsula and the eastern shore of the Great Qin Sea.

Seize the largest oil field in the world today, and at the same time cut off the Ming mainland from Mozhou and the Great Qinhai.

However, the reaction of the Ming side was actually faster.

At the same time as the Ming court issued an announcement, Zhu Jingyuan also issued a holy decree to the front-line troops.

The announcement is made at the same time as the attack begins, without giving the opponent any time to understand and breathe.

Yang Yuchun, the commander-in-chief of the campaign, also understood Zhu Jingyuan's will very well.

The deployment had already been made in advance, and when the order arrived, it was directly ordered to immediately launch the first round of attacks on all fronts.

Zhu Jingyuan was ready to use the new elemental weapon, but he was not prepared to use it indefinitely.

The land seized by the Ming army is best able to continue to be used normally, rather than becoming a wasteland and no man's land.

So the battle still has to start with a regular battle.

If you really encounter fortresses and positions that are difficult to attack, or an army that requires great casualties to destroy, you will use new elemental weapons to forcibly destroy them.

At an air force camp on the shores of the Caspian Sea, electric horns unleashed the sound of war drums.

Groups of soldiers, armed with their personal equipment, quickly ran out of the barracks and rushed to the airfield where the fighter jets were parked.

Among these soldiers was a group that was noticeably much younger.

They were fresh graduates from aviation school, the oldest being twenty-two or three, and the youngest probably just turning eighteen.

At the forefront is Wu Xiongying of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, and the son of Wu Zhiyuan, president of the Songjiang Civil Aviation Association.

Wu Zhiyuan did not catch up with the big war, but he won various flight competition medals.

Wu Xiongying himself is also a family student, he has often followed his father on planes since he can remember, and he often drove and played by himself in his early teens.

At the same time, he was also influenced by his father's political ideas since he was a child, and looked forward to participating in the great cause of the Ming Dynasty to unify the world.

In the first year of the Freshman year, he happened to go to college and was directly admitted to the Daming Aviation School directly under the central government.

Originally, Wu Xiongying could only graduate at the end of this year, but in the past two years, the large-scale expansion of the Ming Dynasty has greatly increased the demand for pilots.

The flight academy students who are graduating this year were sent directly to the army.

Of course, not all students have the opportunity to fly the latest aircraft directly to the front line.

Most of the students will continue their studies when they arrive in the army.

Only students with the most outstanding abilities and a very clean background have the opportunity to learn to fly jet fighters directly in school.

When you arrive at the barracks, you can directly use it as a regular pilot.

Even the most outstanding students have the opportunity to fly the latest aircraft.

Wu Xiongying, father and son, are very proud and excited about such an arrangement and the current situation.

I thought that I couldn't go to war right away, and I might even miss the big battle, but the opportunity hit my head directly.

Wu Xiongying's plane is the latest and most powerful fighter at present, the Type 22 twin-engine jet fighter.

The maximum speed has already exceeded the speed of sound, reaching one and a half thousand kilometers per hour.

Of course, the top speed can only be achieved by afterburner, and it cannot be sustained.

The practical ceiling has also reached 18,000 kilometers, the maximum range is more than 2,400 kilometers, and the combat radius is 800 kilometers.

By default, two 30-millimeter cannons and eight rockets are installed, and two more 500-kilogram guided bombs can be installed if there is a need for ground combat.

Wu Xiongying climbed into the cockpit with his hands and feet, and quickly checked and confirmed all the equipment.

Then, according to the ground handling instructions, follow the teammates into the runway in turn, and take off in turn at the most dense speed.

Behind the fighters were jet twin-engine attack aircraft, followed by large jet transport aircraft loaded with a large number of army units and equipment.

Shortly after the plane left the airport, Wu Xiongying met people from the army.

Thousands of armored vehicles of all kinds, forming a torrent of steel with no end in sight, are constantly pouring to the west.

After the plane passed over the armored group, it soon saw another group of army men, densely packed with helicopters like swarms of flies.

When the Ottomans were still there, the borders between Lucia and the Ming were mainly the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains.

At the same time, within 300 kilometers of the Ural Mountains and the banks of the Ural River, there is a demilitarized zone agreed upon by the two sides.

Until the outbreak of the war, neither side had an official military presence in this area.

But there are a large number of civilian facilities on both sides.

In particular, the Volga Ural oil fields and free trade zone are an industrial urban agglomeration deep in the continent.

Therefore, in the first stage of the outbreak of war, the natural goal of both sides is to immediately take control of their civilian facilities in the demilitarized zone.

The garrison is controlled and used as a military installation, and then the demilitarized zone belonging to the enemy is seized.

The Volga Ural oil field itself is also a natural target.

The primary goal of the Ming troops in the vicinity of the oil fields was also to seize the entire Volga Ural oil fields.

For a jet, a distance of three hundred kilometers is a matter of ten minutes.

Wu Xiongying's group soon arrived at the largest civilian airport in the demilitarized zone.

Large transport planes followed by fighter jets landed one after another in these places, turning civilian airports into de facto military airfields.

The fighter group would move on, and they would have to fend off the Lucian Air Force planes that were sure to come over.

The fleet soon came to the vicinity of the border between Daming and Lucia.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at his wishes from the cockpit, and there was no trace of the plane in the sky across the border.

At this time, the two sides have officially declared war, and of course the soldiers will no longer care about the national border, and the Ming planes will not stop at such a place as the national border.

Wu Xiongying piloted the plane and followed the group straight across the national border and entered the territory of Lucia.

Then after flying for nearly ten minutes, Wu Zhiyuan found the shadow of other planes in the clouds below.

In Lucia, the oncoming propeller planes were obviously enemy aircraft.

Wu Zhiyuan almost subconsciously turned on the radio:

"Enemy aircraft spotted."

The pilot, who was specially responsible for observation, confirmed the other party's model through the telescope and reported it to the captain of the flight team:

"The total number of vintage propeller aircraft from Germany and Lucia is estimated to be between fifty and sixty."

Wu Zhiyuan's fleet has a total of only 30 aircraft, and just looking at the number is of course a disadvantage.

Without hesitation, the commander of the fleet gave the order directly:

"All of them, ready to fight, smash these broken fans with me!"

Then the battle broke out, or rather a massacre began.

The Ming front-line troops have been fully replaced with jet fighters, and they are not experimental aircraft similar to the ME262 and Meteor.

At least the MiG-17 and F86 are mature generation aircraft, and now the first elite troops to contact the enemy are driving supersonic fighters similar to the MiG-19.

Lucia and the German Air Force were still using traditional piston propeller aircraft.

Even the performance of the propeller aircraft was not the best, and the maximum power of the engine still did not exceed 2,000 horsepower.

Simply talking about the performance of the aircraft is an absolute crushing game.

The actual combat experience of the pilots of the Ming Dynasty may not be enough, but in terms of the level of training, it may be higher.

In Zhu Jingyuan's continuous promotion for 19 years, the support and pursuit of flight technology and equipment by the Ming officials and non-governmental officials has always been very high.

Airplanes are a very wide range of entertainment and transportation in the Ming Dynasty.

Many pilots may have flown hundreds or even thousands of hours of civilian aircraft before they joined the army.

In Daming's aviation school and air force school, of course, there is no shortage of parts and fuel at all, and the training intensity is always full.

Young people like Wu Xiongying have eaten all these states.

Wu Xiongying followed the team, locked onto the enemy's group, circled to the angle where the sun was, and swooped down from above the clouds.

The fighter groups of Germany and Lucia have not yet found the Ming people.

Because the flight altitude of the Daming jet is higher than the maximum climb altitude of these propeller aircraft.

There was still a discussion in the team about when they would see the Ming plane.

I am still looking forward to being able to shoot down a few Ming planes.

However, when they saw Daming's plane, the whip composed of 30 mm head-killing shells had already fallen from the sky and was heavily pumped above the group.

More than a dozen of the sixty-propeller planes turned into fireballs in the air in an instant.

A burst of cheers erupted in Wu Xiongying's group:

"Good!"

"Well done!"

"It's almost a fixed target!"

"Finally able to hit a real plane with a human being!"

There was a scream and wail in the fleet of Lucia and the Germans:

"It's a plane of the Ming people!"

"They hid in the sun!"

"Fight back now!"

"I was shot—"

"Get out of the way! Damn ......"

"I've been shot, too—"

"Oh my God, what kind of plane is this!"

"Why are there no propellers!"

"Run—"

"They're too fast to dodge—ah-"

"Monsters, they're all monsters......"

Some of the pilots of Germany and Lucia were lucky enough to avoid the first round of surprise attacks, but they were immediately surprised by the performance of Daming's plane.

In the chase after the dive, one propeller after another was constantly hit, and soon turned into fireworks.

A small number of the most elite German and Lucian pilots barely avoided the tail bite of the Ming plane by maneuvering.

There were also some Ming pilots who did not control their speed well and accidentally rushed to the front of the enemy plane.

Some of them subconsciously tried to go around again, only to hear the commander's command on the radio:

"Listen to me, this is the end of the first round of attacks, and I will get out immediately.

"Don't fight these electric fans, we're flying turbojets now!

"Next, get out of the battlefield, pull up and fight another wave of dives!"

Wu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, and then directly gave up the idea of going around with an enemy plane, and subconsciously said to himself:

"In other words, if you can snipe remotely with a firearm, why do you have to go up and fight the enemy hand-to-hand?"

Da Ming's group immediately followed the captain's words, and directly started afterburner and quickly left the battlefield.

The elite pilots who survived the German and Lucia fleets had just barely figured out the situation on the battlefield and wanted to try to make a circle with the Ming plane.

It turned out that the planes without propellers of the Ming Dynasty did not stop at all, and quickly disappeared from view at an unreal speed.

The rest of the ordinary pilots recovered from the panic, and by the time the group was organized again, Daming's plane was completely gone.

But all the pilots knew that Daming's plane did not really disappear, but ran high in the air to prepare for the second round of attacks.

And they know about it, but they don't have anything to do about it.

It's not that they don't want to chase, it's that they can't catch up at all.

The speed difference between the two sides is likely to be doubled, and the climbing ability is even more different.

When these propeller planes can fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, they are very close to the limit of the aircraft.

For Daming's jet aircraft, 10,000 meters is the normal flight altitude.

Propellers and jets adapt very differently to air density.

As for running away, it doesn't seem to make sense at all.

There was basically no suspense about what happened next, and Wu Xiongying's group soon launched a second attack.

This time, the remaining thirty or so planes of Germany and Lucia were completely wiped out.

Not all of them were shot down, but most of them were knocked out.

The few pilots found that they could not resist the enemy's aircraft from any aspect, and the will to resist almost collapsed.

They gave up the fight, actively dived to reduce the altitude, and then parachuted to escape.

Of the 30 planes in Wu Xiongying's team, only a few were slightly injured, and none of them were shot down.

A group of young people who participated in actual combat for the first time looked at the battlefield that had been emptied, looked at the wreckage of the enemy plane that had fallen on the ground, and let out excited roars from time to time.

They were all very excited, piloting the most powerful planes, easily destroying the formed enemy, a very successful and glorious first battle.

The commander inquired about the ammunition and fuel situation of everyone, and decided to return to the airfield where the group passed between to resupply.

Where there should already be military ground crews already starting to work, Wu Xiongying and they don't need to return to the air base where they originally departed.

Air battles of this kind are constantly taking place on thousands of kilometers of fronts.

For the first time in the four years since the start of the war, the air forces of Lucia and the Germans were completely struck in the face.

They were directly stunned, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

The air force groups arranged by Lucia and Germany on the front line were continuously wiped out by the Ming air force as a group.

The Daming Air Force suffered almost no substantial losses, and completely controlled air supremacy on the entire front.

Air supremacy is crucial to the battlefield at this time, and can determine the situation of war to a certain extent.

The Ming army was able to move quickly under the cover of fighters and attack aircraft, with the help of armored infantry fighting vehicles and military personnel carriers.

At marching speed...... It can even be regarded as the speed of a drag race, quickly taking over and occupying the demilitarized zone on both sides of the border between Daming and Lucia.
