Just as representatives from all parties gathered in Mexico City to study how to deal with the European war, or simply how much to increase the price of crude oil to satisfy the appetite of a group of oil-producing countries, especially His Majesty Emperor Yang, Germany and France were still fighting bloody battles in Paris.
Fly.—{2}{3}{w}{x}
As all three German armies entered the battlefield, the French army, which was originally a group of defeated soldiers and militiamen, could no longer hold on. The first line of defense was defeated by the Sixth Army led by Walch in less than two days.
Once again, they used armored vehicles to attack. Although even after breaking through this line of defense, the German army still only reached the outskirts of Paris, but the problem was that their giant siege guns could already penetrate into the city of Paris.
The poor citizens of Paris finally realized what hell is. Super-large-caliber artillery shells kept whizzing down above their heads, and explosions like earth-shattering resounded throughout the city. The violent force of destruction easily destroyed every building that once represented this city.
The city's civilized and artistically beautiful buildings instantly turned into rubble, and countless old, weak, women and children crowded into dark basements, screaming in fear as they awaited the verdict of their fate.
The Allied newspapers angrily condemned the atrocities committed by the Germans, directly describing Moltke and Count Schlieffen behind him as executioners who massacred civilians. However, Moltke dismissed all accusations with a simple accidental bombing. There is no such thing as a cannon.
It is so accurate, especially for super-large-caliber siege guns. It is not normal for it to be off by a few hundred meters. We deeply regret such an accidental bombing.
Besides, a warning has been issued to the citizens of Paris before, asking them to evacuate within 24 hours. If they do not evacuate, they will not be responsible for the safety of their lives and property. In this case, there is nothing to say. In short, Germany originally tried its best to do so in history.
The goal that was barely achieved with the help of the Paris artillery has easily become a reality in the hands of Moltke. Moreover, the results achieved by all the artillery shells fired by the Germans at Paris in World War I were not as much as what his artillery group could gain in an hour.
Moreover, the German army is trying its best to break through the second line of defense. If this line of defense is broken through again, even the 150 heavy artillery of the German division will be able to smash the shells into the city of Paris.
In order to save their capital, countless French people are pouring in from all over the country. These hastily armed French youths do not care about the slightest rest. As soon as they arrive in Paris, a division, a brigade and even a regiment and a camp are thrown in.
The battlefield in the northeast was shattered to pieces in the German artillery fire. At the same time, the German follow-up troops were also arriving one after another, joining this killing feast one after another.
The whole of Paris has been turned into a huge meat grinder, wringing the blood of the two great powers in a splash of blood and flesh, satisfying the appetite of those onlookers with sinister intentions. Although the British promised to invest five hundred thousand dollars into the French battlefield in a month at most.
One hundred thousand troops. However, despite sparing no effort in propaganda, domestic war mobilization showed no sign of accelerating. The British Expeditionary Force, which had increased to 150,000, continued to be in a stalemate with the German First Army on the Compreh battlefield.
It is obvious that the British's goal is extremely impure. They want to wait until the French and Germans have both been killed before committing to the battlefield on a large scale, and then defeat the Germans at the minimum cost. In this way, they will not only defeat Germany but also gain a great deal.
It weakened France. In the final analysis, the reason why Britain and France got together was because they were forced by the Germans. If you really talk about it, Britain and France have been feuding for much longer than Germany and France have been feuding.
As for the Russian army on the eastern front, they did launch an attack on East Prussia, but it was not the one million men they promised the French, but only four armies. This was not Nikolai's intention, Russia's backward transportation
The system made it difficult for him to gather the farmers in his vast empire of tens of millions of square kilometers in such a short period of time.
Fortunately, there were only the German 8th and 9th armies opposite them, but unfortunately the Russians were still unable to break through the German defense lines here, and the attack on East Prussia also exposed the Russian army's biggest weakness. In addition to those battles
In addition to the main force that existed before, the gray animals newly armed after the war had extremely poor combat effectiveness and were completely used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
But fortunately, Nikolai also regarded them as cannon fodder, so he didn't care how many of these gray animals died. With their persistence, the Russian army also made considerable gains in the Galician battlefield. After more than a month
After a bitter battle and paying more than 300,000 casualties, the Russian army finally captured Galicia, while the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost more than 400,000 people. However, at the same time that Galicia was defeated, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also completely occupied the entire Serbia.
, opened up the land channel with the Ottoman Empire.
It is worth mentioning that during the Battle of Galicia, there was real ground bombing, but it was not by airplanes, but by small airships. Four German airships dropped about two tons of bombs on a Russian army assembly area. Because of the wind,
The interference did not achieve very good results and only caused less than a hundred casualties to the Russian army.
"Mr. Minister, your airship is too small. Look at my airship. It can carry ten tons of cargo at once, and it uses the safest helium. There is no need to worry about safety issues at all. Those hydrogen airships of yours, just take one
A bullet coated with white phosphorus can turn it into a torch." Emperor Yang proudly looked at the giant airship rising slowly in front of him and said to Haijing beside him.
His royal airship has been completed, but the one he is riding in is still in the later stages of renovation. The one he is showing off now is an escort type. The scene of a dozen giant airships taking off, even as big as a battleship, can be said to be extremely spectacular. Even Yang
The emperor himself had never seen these black airships with the royal dragon emblem on their hulls. Various monsters were depicted on them according to their names, and they were basically recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas. They looked like they were showing their teeth and claws.
The ferocious figure slowly left the ground under the stunned gaze of hundreds of thousands of people, as if it had come from a myth. It had a strong visual impact. Many elderly people watching the performance involuntarily knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. As they watched
This is not an industrial product, but a miracle created by Long Live Lord.
It's no wonder, not to mention these ordinary people, even the officials, generals and even foreigners can't help but feel a sense of worship. After all, who has ever seen a battle fleet flying in the sky?
A dozen airships more than 200 meters long were above their heads, blocking out the sky and the sun. The aluminum alloy pods under the hull shone like silver, and the huge wooden propeller behind them rotated at high speed, pushing the hull as slowly as a fleet.
Accelerate, especially those models responsible for armed support. Cannon and machine gun barrels protrude from the armored cockpit, making them look even more like warships.
Moreover, these behemoths in the air also have speeds that are not inferior to airplanes. Although they accelerate slower, they fly faster and faster. A group of biplanes next to them as a reference just catch up with their speed, but compared with these behemoths,
These little planes are like little dragonflies circling the buffalo.
"A miracle, really a miracle, an unparalleled miracle." Haijing raised his head and exclaimed with obsession.
"It's not that mysterious. Some of the builders of these airships are not German employees. The internal structure is not much more complicated than the rigid airships you build now. The key lies in the use of a large amount of new lightweight alloys we have just developed. Although it is light, it is
The strength is even higher than that of ordinary steel. This alloy is the guarantee of its success. The other is helium, but the role of helium is only to ensure safety. It is essentially the same as using hydrogen." Yang Feng said with evil intentions.
Haijing and he are considered old friends, but he still doesn't understand what this guy is trying to do. He is telling himself or the German government that Germany can also make this thing. All he needs to do is buy the new alloy from him. In addition,
It can even be used for military purposes. To reduce the price, it is just a matter of replacing helium with hydrogen. Although safety is not guaranteed, the lives of ordinary soldiers cannot be compared with those of His Majesty the Emperor.
This is indeed very heart-stirring. Think about the bombing on the battlefield of Galicia. Four airships dropped less than two tons of bombs and killed and injured a company of Russians. If it were replaced by four airships,
What about a giant airship? It can magnify its load dozens of times and drop dozens of tons of bombs at once. Even if the ratio cannot be calculated, it is still very promising to kill a battalion. So what if dozens or hundreds of airships are dispatched at once?
Haijing's thoughts suddenly rose to the level of strategic air strikes.
"Your Excellency, Minister, I forgot to tell you that if this kind of airship is filled with fuel, it can easily fly thousands of kilometers." Yang Feng said in a persuasive way.
Haijing's heart was beating loudly. What does this mean? It means that if it has such an airship, Germany can even directly bomb any city in the UK, even Moscow, without any problem.
"Your Majesty, the new alloy you are talking about is not considered military supplies, right?" He immediately asked cautiously.
"Mr. Minister, are you kidding? Of course not. That thing is neither a gun nor a bullet. It cannot even be used to make these things. It has nothing to do with weapons." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Then does Your Majesty agree to export this alloy?" Haijing asked with the same smile.
"This is an era of free trade. Once it is created, there is nothing that cannot be exported," Yang Feng said.
"So if His Majesty the Emperor of our country wants to build an airship of this level, can you sell its design drawings?" Haijing asked.
"Of course. With my friendship with William, of course I am willing to share this kind of good thing with him. If it is just for him to use as a royal airship, I can even ask the factory to build one for him. Of course, he needs to pay the workers.
Salary." Yang Feng said. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
