As the battle in the English Channel dragged on for a long time, Air Marshal Green's heart was gradually exhausted.

In order to confuse the British radar monitors, Green ordered that German planes fly up and down the coast of France every day, exactly within the range of the British radar screens, but the monitors could not predict which group of planes would suddenly turn north and sweep across the English Channel to launch a real attack.

At the same time, the Germans continued to bomb various British airfields, causing serious damage, especially on the coast of Kent, as well as the two airfields of Manston and Lim, which had been out of use for fighter jets for several days.

The destruction of the base dispatch station and the wounding of most of the ground staff meant that it could only be used by a squadron of fighters for a week, which also weakened the RAF's air defenses.

During this crucial fortnight, the British lost 290 fighters shot down or heavily damaged, while the Germans lost 285, of which 114 were fighters.

However, in the course of the continuous bombardment of the coast by the Germans, a small episode occurred.

That night, two German planes accidentally broke into the sky over London and dropped several bombs.

The bombs destroyed the old St. Giles' Church and removed the statue of John Milton from the base in the square, destroying a number of residential homes and killing a number of civilians.

However, this bombing was used by the British officials to make a big propaganda campaign in an attempt to win the sympathy and assistance of the international community, most importantly the federal government of the New World.

"Dear Bruce, look, see what they've all done? They bombed civilians, they bombed London! If I'm not mistaken, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce also has a lot of business in London, and this will directly affect your interests! ”

In a private call with Zhou Yu, Williams played the emotional card, and even recalled the past, thinking about the past, remembering the days when they crawled together in the trenches of the Somme.

Zhou Yu held back a smile and listened to the other party's chatter, and he also knew that it was time to help this unlucky guy.

But in fact, there is another important reason why Williams is so nervous, he was ordered to be pushed to the high position of prime minister, as long as he can lead the LinkedIn military and civilians to resist the German attack this time, he will be ironclad on the throne of prime minister.

However, his chief adviser to Churchill told him to seize this opportunity anyway and win the help of the federal government, and Williams knew that if he wanted to get the help of the federal government, he had to take Zhou Yu first.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I am just a staff member, and I am flattered that you are talking to me like this."

"No, no, Bruce, don't mention the Prime Minister, this phone call is just a personal reinstatement between two friends, not an official call, but you also know that I've had a hard time lately, although we have bought a lot of planes, but the training of fighter pilots does not happen overnight.

First of all, I'm so grateful that you can send the lads from the Dragonform Flying Academy over to help us, but ...... We are in dire need of combatants, and there are a lot of new pilots who have actually flown less than 10 hours, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take their planes into the sky and crash into the ground first. ”

Zhou Yu knew what he was thinking, but he had to let his descendants die for him, and even lose his life, which he could never agree.

He thought for a while and said: "Williams, since you said that this is a private call between friends, then I can also give you an explanation, those pilots are my treasures, and they will be of great use in the future, and they must not be allowed to fight with the Germans now."

But don't worry, you can send your pilots to me for assault training, I have a complete set of training methods and enough trainers to be able to take them into the air in the shortest possible time.

Of course, these are all tuition, after all, the plane has to be consumed, and the fuel has to be consumed, but for the sake of the friendship between the two of us for so many years, I can give you a 20% discount. ”

Williams was silent on the phone for a while, and after a while, he seemed to grit his teeth and replied: "My dear friend Bruce, thank you so much~ In this way, today, just today, I will immediately send the first batch of pilots to train with you, how much does it cost, I believe you also know that the reserves of our central bank have been shipped to Canada, and I will order you to pay you cash directly, if you don't want to collect banknotes, you can convert them into gold!" ”

Zhou Yu snapped his fingers on the other end of the phone, and secretly said that Williams has also learned to be smart and knows what he really wants.

"Hehehe~ My friend, no problem, just today, don't worry, I will use all my strength to delay the German bombing plan, so that you have enough time to train your pilots, then here today, I will let Liu dock with your people for the specific tuition."

Hung up the phone, Zhou Yu rubbed his chin, picked up another internal mobile phone on the table and said: "Fortune teller, come here, there is a business, and our dearest friend Williams has sent money again." ”

In London, England, Williams, who also hung up the phone, had a black face, and Churchill stood next to him, casting an inquiring look.

"He is still reluctant to directly involve his pilots in the battle, and only promises to help us train a group of our own pilots in the shortest possible time...... Now go and select some suitable young men and send them to the New World for training overnight, and besides, I will hold an internal meeting, the Germans have crossed the line to bomb London this time, then we will have to retaliate against Berlin! ”

"What?" Churchill was stunned and asked uncertainly: "Prime Minister, have you really decided?" ”

Williams, who was holding his breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Of course, I believe I don't need to elaborate on how much we have fought these days, it's time to boost morale, blindly defending will only make the Germans more and more unscrupulous, we want to let them know that we also have the ability to carry out air strikes across the ocean!" Now, call me all the officers of the Royal Air Force! ”

Churchill looked at his Prime Minister, groaned for a moment, nodded heavily and turned away.

That evening, Acting Chancellor Williams Herbert drew up a plan for an air attack on Berlin, Germany, which was unanimously approved by the Air Force generals.

Everyone got together, and you and I made this plan gradually take shape and become more and more detailed.

In this operation, Britain prepared a lot of incendiary bombs, as well as 4,000-pound "small pie" bombshells, the core point of which was to use high-explosive bombs to blow up or shatter buildings in the target area, and at the same time create a large number of rubble obstacles to obstruct the entry of the fire brigade, and use incendiary bombs to expand the enemy's losses.

Yes, the primary goal of this retaliation was to undermine the morale of the German people, especially the workers on the production line, and for this reason, the British intelligence services also made a list of targets in German cities, including Cologne, Eisen, Duisburg, etc., which were important cities in the Ruhr industrial region.

In order to give full play to the power of area bombing, the conference also authorized all the actions of the bomber unit to be "free to play without any restrictions."
