Blackstone Code Chapter 1221: This is just an experiment!
The battle situation on the front line was quickly sent back to various places, and the emperor of Pongio also knew what happened to the front line.
"Nearly 2,000 soldiers died directly or indirectly from the bombing this morning..."
His Majesty the Emperor Pengjieao yawned. He raised his hand and stopped the adjutant next to the Imperial Marshal from reading, "I understand what you said directly, but indirectly... what do you mean?"
The adjutant of the imperial marshal was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned back a few pages, briefly describing what is meant by "bombing indirect death".
"...we found a round bomb in the bombing area that weighed about two to three pounds, and these bombs could not be cleaned effectively and safely, and it was possible that it was simply dug out of the ground. action, it will cause an explosion."
"Even stepping on some will cause an explosion."
"Our people encountered some trouble when evacuating..."
The people in the room were somewhat amazed that they could imagine that scene, and this is also the change of the second generation of cluster bombs.
In order to make these "bullets" more malleable, in addition to the fragmentation bombs that explode when they land, some very special "dumb mines" are also added.
These bombs don't explode immediately after they hit the ground. In these bombs there is a level that works when the bomb is stabilized.
As long as its inclination angle exceeds a certain degree, a piece of steel will quickly return to its position, and at the moment of return, it will hit the primer and detonate the bomb.
This design is actually for secondary damage after bombing. These bombs that cannot be cleared will become a limiter for large-scale personnel movement.
And in these bomb-plowed places, it's hard to spot the unobtrusive bombs that fall in the corners, when someone walks over them, or touches it, or takes it out of curiosity Get up...
It will bring further damage!
The number of such bombs is small, but the killing efficiency is very high, because the first thing people think of after the bombing is to clear the ruins, find supplies and search and rescue the surviving soldiers.
They will definitely turn over the wreckage after the explosion, maybe there is one in there!
People no longer avoid it, but actively find it and detonate it!
Hearing the adjutant of the imperial marshal read out the news sent from the front line, His Majesty the Emperor of Pongio yawned again and wiped the tears from his eyes.
He must not be crying because of the many soldiers killed, just because he is yawning.
He propped his chin up, always looking like he was not resting, and had deep dark circles under his eyes. "Our plan from the beginning was correct. We gave up on developing warships and started directly with the Air Force."
His expression was indifferent and somewhat arrogant. Looking at the nobles, the elder's expression was like a **** looking down on mortals from the clouds.
"Continue to increase research on aircraft, increase investment in the Air Force, and air defense weapons..."
No one interjected or interrupted him at this time, and no one objected to his ideas.
After the end of World War I, the Pengio Empire faced a difficult choice.
If they don't want to be blocked in their homes by the Gefras in the next war, the best way is to find a way to restrict the Gefra's navy.
But at this time, talking about the development of the navy has no practical significance for this country. Their navy level is probably only equivalent to the level that allows ships to leave here for other countries.
They are backed by a huge land, and the opponents they have always regarded as enemies come from the land.
They lack all kinds of battleship technology, let alone ten years, even if they are given twenty years, they may not be able to catch up with the current Gefra.
At that time, the emperor of Pongio had formulated a new development line, continued to strengthen the army, and avoided confronting them in the field of Gefra's advantage.
That is too stupid. You are obviously not an opponent, even if you develop for ten years, you are not an opponent. You have to invest a lot of money and research here, and then ruin everything after ten years. It is better to change from the beginning. kind of thinking.
So Pongio began to develop various mines, torpedoes, and fast boats that didn't require too much technical content, including landing craft.
All they have to do is block some enemy ships and get the army where they need to go to accomplish the strategic intent.
After the Federals used submarines to defeat Gafra's fleet in naval battles, the Pontgio Empire also began researching submarines, which would serve as the main anti-ship weapon.
When the Federals made the plane again, the Emperor of Pongio made the decision himself to put most of his strength on the research of the aircraft and the air force.
The navy can't match the army, and no matter how developed the navy is, it can't be the opponent of the federation and gavra, but the air force is different.
The Air Force can cooperate with the Army, and the Air Force is a very strong threat to targets on land and at sea.
While other countries are still testing the future of fear, the Pengios have begun to copy and improve the Qi-I bomber by means of reverse push, and install them in a small area.
In essence, this "friction" is not only to test the strength of the federal army, but more importantly, to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the air force in land warfare!
They must establish whether the main battlefield of the next world war will be on land, at sea or...in the sky!
Looking at these ministers, elders, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes that had just had a sharp lustre dimmed again, and he waved his hand as if chasing flies.
"I remember how many giant ships of the Federals are approaching the Bullhorn Strait?"
The Imperial Marshal nodded and said yes, "We have entered the Bullhorn Strait, and our supply line has been cut off. I am very sorry, Your Majesty."
"Nothing, we've known the outcome from the start, and it fits right in with our second part of the plan to get the Air Force moving again and try our new stuff..."
He said and stood up, holding the armrests on both sides of the gold high-back chair, "Then that's it for today's meeting, hooray..."
After speaking, the ministers and elders left here with the fanatical voices of "Long Live the Empire" and "Long Live the Emperor", and the entire empire was once again running at high speed like a precision instrument.
Hundreds of planes are reloading and making final checks at three airfields near Bullhorn Strait.
In addition to conventional aerial bombs, there are incendiary bombs and air-dropped torpedoes!
At this time, the Federal Navy, which is entering the Bullhorn Strait, has not realized the danger they need to face. They are too careless!
"I heard that the front was bombed, and the casualties were heavy..."
A sailor is holding a telescope to observe the changes in the surrounding sea, while chatting with the sailor behind him.
Life at sea is very boring, maybe the sailors in Gevra are accustomed to this boring life, they can follow all the rules and regulations as strictly as possible, and follow all the requirements in the sailor's manual.
But this is too difficult for the Commonwealth.
Yes, it's too hard.
The Commonwealth is born free, and even the Charter gives the Commonwealth the right to pursue and defend freedom!
You keep them silent and work ten hours on the boat without deserting?
They are expected to strike.
So before the non-red alert, if something was wrong with the soldiers, the officers would pretend they didn't see it.
Another sailor nodded in agreement, followed by a long sigh, "No one would have imagined that a rural place as backward as Penggio would be able to come up with so many bombers, they cracked the secret of the plane!" /
In the eyes of the Commonwealths, countries such as Penggio, which are far away and have not participated in the big voyage, belong to the countryside, and they are all country people they despise.
This time it is said that dozens of bombers were taken out, which is indeed a bit surprising.
But there is only one point. The Navy is proud. They don't think the defeat of the Army has anything to do with them. Every sailor has a kind of pride in his heart.
The glory of the Federation is ultimately guarded by the Navy.
The sailor put down the binoculars and took out a pack of Silver Age from his pocket. It was beautifully packaged. Although the price was a little high, it was still affordable for the navy with high benefits and high wages.
He handed out a cigarette to another navy ~IndoMTL.com~ and the two got together and smoked.
From below, you can't see what the people in the watchtower are doing, so they are not afraid that the officers below will find out. The two chat about the recently played movie, about this conflict, and about those Naga Lear cheap girls.
The last topic is their main conversation topic. Sometimes they go through Nagalil to resupply and have about a week to dock to rest.
A few bucks can have a good night, and that place is heaven to them.
Some people think that looking for a job in Nagalil is the best place to go after being discharged from the military. There is not much pressure in life and work, and you can enjoy yourself to the fullest.
The two were leaning against the observation deck and chatting, one of them suddenly glanced at the sky in the distance, a little surprised, "I remember that the weather station didn't say there is rain around here today..."
There is a dark cloud in the sky in the distance, but this kind of thing is quite normal to them. The weather at sea is so unpredictable, and it is summer now, the weather is even more unpredictable.
Another sailor picked up the phone and dialed the number in the command room, "...there is a black cloud in the northeast, it may be raining..."
After hanging up the phone, he took another look, his expression still a little surprised, "These clouds are coming so fast, what's our ship's speed now?"
At this time, both sailors subconsciously looked at the dark clouds that spread in a circle in the distance, and subconsciously picked up the telescope and looked towards the sky in the distance...
