The sword of justice!
This is the code name for this operation.
In fact, in terms of his inner thoughts, Zhu Xianhai would rather name this action "Avenger".
After all, people are all small-minded. For Zhu Xianhai, he can never forget the ruins of the Old Summer Palace and the two bullets embedded in the pillars of the Bali Bridge, one from the French and the other from the British.
Zhu Xianhai is stingy and vindictive. Some things are unforgettable and will never be forgotten!
In fact, this is also the reason why he came to France.
"I must personally order the destruction of Versailles!"
“I had to see Versailles turned into a ruin!”
"When it becomes a ruin, I think... my heart will be at peace!"
This has nothing to do with anything else, just revenge!
What art treasures and heritage of human civilization are all nonsense. Why didn’t the British and French forces think so much when they set fire to the Old Summer Palace?
Tit for retaliation is fair.
…
None of this is important, what is important is the military significance. After all, the current Palace of Versailles is not just a palace, it is also the headquarters of the Prussians.
"In order to break the siege of Paris by the Prussian army and to rescue Paris, according to His Majesty's order, we will attack today, targeting the headquarters of the Prussian army - the Palace of Versailles!"
When the order was given, no one had any doubts. No one questioned the order. What is Versailles?
It is true that it is a palace, but it is also the headquarters of the Prussian army! In order to win the war, bombing there is simply a normal thing.
"Capture the thief first! Capture the king first! Our mission this time is very simple, which is to bomb the Palace of Versailles and try to eliminate the Prussian command center in one fell swoop."
While the combat deployment meeting in the tent was going on, the ground troops outside the tent were pushing ammunition carts, pushing silver-white bombs, and hoisting the bombs into the airship cabin through slings. This kind of bomb is similar to the one commonly used before.
The bombs are different. The previous bombs were all black, which were bombs with a layer of paint, but this bomb is silver-white, which is the original iron color of tinplate.
When preparing for combat, everyone is performing their duties, including the ground crew and the crew members who are about to take off for combat. The airship commanders are standing in formation in the tent, and they turn their attention to aerial photography from time to time.
photo.
That was an aerial photo of the Palace of Versailles, which was their goal.
"In short, as in the past, our target is this palace, there is no need to consider other targets! The fixed-point bombing mission is the simplest mission, no different from training. In short, just drop bombs like during training."
Wang Xinyue stood and said to the commanders who were lined up in front of him. His tone was as casual as if he was announcing a general training subject, and he looked completely unconcerned. In fact, he didn't need to care at all. In the air,
What they have is a unique advantage, which allows them to easily implement a simple training!
The sky belongs to Nanhua!
In the sky, except for Nanhua's airships, there is no other country's air power. They attack from the sky, and the enemy is powerless to fight back. This type of dimensionally reduced attack makes them full of confidence.
In their view, this is just a "training".
It’s training!
That's all!
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
Facing his subordinates, Li Du smiled and said
"have!"
The commanders immediately responded loudly and excitedly, Do they need to be mobilized? No!
"Yes, that's right. You must know that the Palace of Versailles is an extraordinary place. It is the royal palace of the French. You..."
After a pause, Li Du said in a somewhat exaggerated tone.
"But he was the first to blow up the palace of his country!"
The chief's words made all the airship commanders burst into laughter. Indeed, this alone was enough for them to be proud. They were going to burn a palace to the ground!
For any airship officer, they have the opportunity to bomb the enemy's infantry, artillery, fortresses, and even warships, but how many people have the opportunity to blow up a palace?
No!
While feeling proud, they immediately felt an unprecedented sense of mission, which was... they needed to complete this mission even more perfectly!
How to complete this task more perfectly is to completely raze this palace to the ground!
"Now, everyone has it!—Let's go!"
The moment the order was given, the commanders who had been impatient for a long time immediately rushed out of the war room like a gust of wind and rushed to their airships. The airship field was very large, and some had already prepared.
The good crewmen rushed the carriage early. When they saw the commanders rushing over, they shouted loudly to their captain, and then drove the carriage towards their airship.
Soon, the commanders and their men rushed under the airship. When they boarded the airship along the ladder, the mechanical sergeant reported.
"Sir, the engine inspection is complete!"
"ready to go!"
Without many words, everyone began to prepare for takeoff the moment they entered the airship. A moment later, the ground crew came to the mooring ropes, and the moment the mooring ropes were released, the airship slowly took off.
"Take off!"
"It's flying, it's flying..."
Outside the barbed wire fence, those French teenagers looked at the airship slowly rising into the sky through the barbed wire fence, and they all shouted with excitement. For these French teenagers, they have been looking forward to the airship since the day it arrived.
At this moment, I was looking forward to the moment when the airship troops would set off.
The scene of 79 airships taking off was extremely spectacular. Just like 79 warships, they slowly took off. As the mooring ropes were released one after another, the neatly arranged airships began to take off one after another while taking off.
In the air, the engines rumbled, and the airships began to slowly glide to high altitudes. Their speed was neither fast nor slow, just like warships that had just left the port. The airships had maintained their formation since they lifted off.
One airship after another just flew into the sky and flew into the distance.
When the airship took off from the airship field and flew high into the sky with the roar of its engine, looking at the airship overhead, the teenagers around the barbed wire fence kept shouting into the air.
"Kill all the Krauts!"
"Kill those Germans, blow up all the Germans..."
The French teenagers were just like this, shouting excitedly while following the airship in the sky. In their opinion, when the airship set off, they had won! At least the good days of the Prussians were over!
The aerial force that completed the air formation slowly flew towards the north. The huge formation composed of these airships was like a fleet, but this fleet was floating in the air.
After this huge air fleet took off, it not only attracted the attention of children, but also excited the French in Orleans.
All of them knew what the departure of this air fleet meant to the Prussians? It meant disaster! It meant death!
These kind-hearted French people all waved their hats to the sky with excitement, and they cheered happily.
They are really eager for news of victory!
In everyone's opinion, the departure of this air fleet will definitely bring them good news!
This good news must be the news that the Prussians suffered heavy losses in the bombing of the air fleet. Soon, they will see in the newspapers the ugly appearance of how the Prussians fled in panic during the bombing.
"This is really spectacular!"
The French on the ground looked at the fleet in the air and admired it.
"You must teach those Prussians a lesson."
People looking up to the sky expressed their wishes in their hearts...
