Chapter 132, plan fine-tuning
The war really broke out, but the first reaction it brought to everyone was not shock, but a deep breath of relief.
There is no way, and the topic of hegemony war has been hyped in the newspapers for months.
It seemed as if before the storm came, the air was filled with a depressed atmosphere. In recent months, European people have been spending a tense atmosphere and their nerves have been lifted up.
Now that the war has really broken out, everyone's tense nerves have finally sootheed.
The people's nerves were relaxed, but the nerves of governments became highly nervous. Especially when they needed to bet on luck, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, they did not dare to relax for a moment.
The fire in the city gate affected the pond. Too much has happened in history. The politics these days are really not friendly to small countries at all.
Although France is not a small country, the boss and the second brother fought a decisive battle and accidentally killed the third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother... not only happens in the shopping mall, but also is also common in international competition.
France, which has five labors and seven injuries, has not yet come out of the shadow of war and can no longer withstand the tossing.
Unfortunately, most of the frontier airports of the Shinra Air Force are located in the northwest of France, and the enemy's front command is located in Calais.
It is only a few dozen kilometers away from the famous Dunkirk in later generations; the closest place to the British Isles is less than 70 kilometers in a straight line.
Carlos is naturally not an ordinary person to be able to hold the position of King France and not be driven out of it.
Perhaps he does not have great talent and extraordinary internal affairs capabilities, but Carlos still has no shortage of the most basic strategic vision.
In recent years, the Holy Roman Empire has been continuously building military operations along the coast of France, which is clearly aimed at the British.
Carlos had long understood the plan to bomb the British Isles or the strategy to bomb London.
If it is just borrowing the site or if logistics supplies are needed, that is fine. The problem is that once the strategic bombing of the Shinra Air Force is started, the British will inevitably retaliate.
It is unknown whether the British Air Force can throw the bomb to Carlos, the native land of Shinro. Anyway, throwing the bomb to France is not under any pressure.
With the hit rate of aircraft bombing these days, France has to pay a heavy price even if it is not intentionally seeking faults and just to destroy the airports in the coastal areas.
"Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi."
Now the French government has lost its say in the international community. There are only two options left for them: either accept the face happily; or be held with a gun and forced to accept reality.
In the Palace of Versailles, Carlos, who was a little older, asked: "How is the communication? Has the Vienna government agreed to increase air defense firepower for us?"
It is difficult to be a king, especially the king of France. It seems that he was cursed. Since the era of the Great Revolution, all the French regimes have lived very short lives.
In less than a hundred years, the Bonaparte dynasty, the Orleans dynasty and the Bourbon dynasty have all gone up and walked.
After finally restoring the throne, Carlos naturally did not want to be driven down. In order to consolidate his rule, Carlos has been working hard for it since he succeeded to the throne.
In addition to sorting out the internal affairs and cleaning up the domestic mess, there are also great breakthroughs in diplomacy.
Although it has not yet been separated from the shackles of the Vienna Peace Association, it has eased relations with European countries, especially with the Vienna government.
Foreign Minister Pietro: "No, we were rejected again, but we still let go of a hole.
The Vienna government said that the Allies would protect our safety. They did not think that the British army would not go deep into the inland. Just deploy defenses in coastal areas, and there was no need to increase the air defense firepower of inland cities."
There is no doubt that this is obviously not a matter of air defense firepower. "There are faults and the debts are the main ones." The protagonist of this hegemony war was the Holy Roman Empire, and France just followed the numbers and was not worth targeting specifically.
Using the excuse of ensuring the safety of the people, the demand for increased air defense firepower is not only a matter of worrying about it, but also a test of the Vienna system.
It is unrealistic to completely get rid of the shackles on your body. Anyone who reveals a trace of this ambition will cause disaster to the fragile France.
But things still need to be done. If France wants to embark on the path of healthy development, it must first return to the normal country sequence.
Unfortunately, the Vienna government is unwilling to let go. As a vested interest, the anti-French allies, there is no need to expect.
After thinking about it, Carlos sighed: "Forget it, it seems that it is not the time to talk about these things. After the hatred fades, look for opportunities!
How are the communication between the British? Is it possible?”
Seeing the foreign minister's expression gloomy, Carlos knew that the result was not optimistic, so he naturally couldn't continue to say what happened later.
It’s right to think about it. Judging from the “traditional friendship” of Britain and France for hundreds of years, stabbing each other is a normal operation.
With the face of the French government, it is unreliable to make the British fighter jets not attack the French mainland.
...
December 29, 1904, weather: sunny, wind speed 2 to 3, heavy fog in London...
Looking at the information sent by the meteorological department, Malvin Antonio Chavez, as an Air Force General, was now in a dark face.
It's true that another good weather is true, but unfortunately, the weather in the "Calai area" is good, and London is still full of haze.
In an area with visibility below fifty meters, it is almost impossible to hit the target accurately.
In addition to the low hit rate, the bigger problem is the safety of the aircraft itself. It is not only easy to trek, but also possible to collide.
Time waits for no one, war has broken out. No matter how great the difficulties we are facing now, the battle will be fought.
Admiral Malvin: "The core military ports of the British Isles are London, Liverpool, and Aberdeen. The main forces of the Royal Navy's local fleet are also docked in the above three ports.
Our target of bombing this time is also the above three ports. However, in recent times, the weather in London has been too bad and the visibility is very low, which is not suitable for air force operations.
Considering the actual situation, the country decided to take action against Liverpool and Aberdeen first. As for the symbolic bombing of London, there is no need to take risks and go deeper.
The relevant information was sent to each of you three days ago. Now we have begun to formulate a detailed combat plan, striving to... "
It is impossible to go hard. London has smog weather as a cover. It is easy to bomb London, but it is very difficult to cause effective damage.
When the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, you can only use the quantity to pile it up, but now the quantity cannot be obtained.
The Shenluo Air Force naturally has no shortage of personnel and aircraft. The problem is safety. High-altitude bombing is good, but it is relatively less affected by haze. Once it flies at low altitude, it will be a tragedy, and the plane may be destroyed and people may die at any time.
Loss-making transactions cannot be done. In this context, it is completely appropriate to temporarily change the bombing target. It is a matter of course to target other British port cities.
The first one to be unlucky was naturally the military port. I couldn't find a reason to refuse if I could catch the Royal Navy and beat it up.
