Chapter 291
The Jennifer cruise ship incident is like a wave on the sea. After it breaks, no one cares about it.
What's more, no one knew that a ship sank two to three hundred kilometers away from the British coast.
The broken cruise ship basically sank to the bottom of the sea. With the current technical conditions, it is simply impossible to fish it out.
As for the corpses on the sea, it's better to leave them to sharks and various fish.
I just don’t know how British fishermen would feel when they eat fish with human fingers in their stomachs.
In fact, this is too much to worry about, and the reason is very simple. British fishermen cannot go to sea at all now!
As long as it is discovered by Ming warships or aircraft, it will be sieved by intensive artillery fire.
Li Xiao finally spat out, and the German army and navy began to get busy.
The entire French coast, plus German ships, were concentrated.
The yachts used by rich French people to burn their bags were all confiscated.
Even the motor-driven sailboats running on inland rivers were pulled out to transport troops.
Without organization, the Germans finally understood how difficult it was to successfully organize an amphibious landing.
At the beginning, the Germans discovered a problem. They needed docks and ports to allow large army troops to board the ships.
So they began to urgently expand the Port of Calais and worked hard to turn the Port of Calais into a qualified departure position.
In order to expand the Port of Calais, the Germans had to turn to the Ming Dynasty for help. Because only the Ming Dynasty had large-scale construction machinery.
One day's work of an excavator is worth the labor of hundreds of people.
Asking for help from Ming people is actually very simple. As long as you prepare enough money!
The guy who drives an excavator in the Ming Dynasty earns as much as a hundred German workers a day.
What made the Germans extremely unbalanced was that not only did they have to build a port, they also had to build a military airport for the Ming army to use.
The airport's runway alone is 4,000 meters long, and two of them are under construction.
The Germans had no planes,
This airport was built for the Ming Dynasty. And in the future, the airport built will also become the air force base of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter how you look at it, this is a hugely unlucky deal for the German army.
But the German army did just that and mobilized 50,000 migrant workers.
There is no way, Daming said it needs an airport, then they have to build it according to standards.
After a lot of back and forth, the matter was pushed to June.
On the night of June 3rd, all Ming warships gathered in the English Channel, which was only fifty kilometers long.
The British basically didn't take any action. It's not that they didn't want to, but that they had no choice.
Throughout the day, Ming army aircraft were circling in the sky. As soon as they found British artillery positions, they would immediately drop bombs.
At the same time, large aircraft kept circling in the sky, constantly reporting the situation of the British army's positions to the warships on the sea.
The Ming Navy ships once again started shooting. This time, even the arsenal ship that had not been seen for a long time was dispatched.
As soon as the location of the British artillery position is discovered, rocket launchers will be fired intensively to clear the ground.
Then, the Ming Dynasty officers would take the bill and ask the Germans to sign it so that they could calculate the money later.
They clearly knew that Ming Dynasty was blackmailing, but in order to win over England, the Germans also fought hard.
As long as the Ming Dynasty people dare to bring in orders, they dare to sign. Anyway, the benefits of seizing the British Isles are far greater than a certain amount of effort.
There is no wasted money in this world. A whole day's bombardment almost wiped out all the artillery positions on the British army's preset positions.
British frontline commander Winter Oslade was so angry that he cursed but could do nothing.
There are not even a few small sampans left in the Royal Navy of the British Empire.
A few months ago, destroyers from the Ming Empire sailed into the Thames River to bombard London, but they were unable to do anything.
What's more, the Ming army is now sailing in the English Channel.
As for the artillery on the shore, there were not many opportunities to fire at all.
As soon as the cannon is fired, it will be discovered and eliminated.
Now the British army had no choice but to order the remaining artillery units not to expose their positions, and to fire the artillery strictly without orders.
Compared with the artillery, which was in dire straits, the British infantry was quite comfortable.
While they were looking at the planes in the sky, they were also watching the explosions one after another behind them. When the shelling first started, they were a little nervous.
Officers would order soldiers to hide in bomb-proof holes!
But now, the officers also followed them to watch the fun. They even prayed in the underground bunker under the leadership of the army chaplain, hoping that the Ming people would never bombard their fortifications.
Perhaps God really heard the cries of the people. Not a single shell of the Ming Navy fell on their position.
So much so that during the day, more and more people went out to watch the fun.
The soldiers even seemed a little bored! They had never thought that the war could be fought like this.
After a leisurely day, it finally got dark.
The Ming army's planes flew back, and the Ming army's navy also stopped shelling. The dark sea was quiet, and not even the shadow of the Ming navy ships could be seen.
There was the roar of airships in the sky, and the British soldiers looked at the sky nervously. Airships are different from airplanes!
Airships can stay in the air for a long time because of their huge payload. The amount of ammunition they have is very impressive!
These airships will even carry large bombs weighing one ton.
When a bomb falls, it can create a large crater with a diameter of ten meters in the ground.
Moreover, the airship is also equipped with dual 25mm rapid-fire cannons. This thing is called the scythe of death by the infantry.
As long as you wave it, you can harvest lives one after another.
The airship did not fly to the front line, uu Reading www.uukanshu.com, but landed behind the position and delivered various supplies and ammunition. Then it quickly took off and disappeared from everyone's eyes again.
"It turned out to be our own airship. I was shocked. Grandma, why can't we build our own plane?"
"Where can it be so easy to make? I heard that it is extremely complicated and you can't even disassemble it without drawings.
The two universities of Oxford and Cambridge had a feud a hundred years ago, but because of the plane incident, the two universities are now much more honest. No one goes out on the streets to demonstrate, and no one thinks that you can dominate the world.
They are all concentrating on research, and I heard that they already have some clues. I don’t know how big these clues are."
In the corner of the trench, a second lieutenant and a captain were smoking.
"What if you have an idea, you can build an airplane in one day. I think the Ming Dynasty will be able to realize partial automation of the military in the next three to five days."
