Chapter 1476 Big Bombing (Second Update, please subscribe)
The Republic of Cuba is the country that Ming launched an attack on the first day of the war.The reason why the attack was launched first is not just because there are tens of thousands of Chinese and Chinese descendants living here.

The more important reason is...it is very close to the United States!
Although the Northern Territory of the Empire borders the United States.But Cuba is closer to the prosperous eastern region of the United States. This is the backyard of the United States, and it is also the front line of the empire's attack on the United States.

After "liberating Cuba", the empire began to carry out some corresponding plans in order to turn Cuba into the frontier of the empire's attack on the United States.

"This is the real strategic bombing!"

Standing on the hillside near the airship field, Di Shangwen said softly.After a while, hundreds of airships on the airship field will take off from here and drop hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs on New York!
This will be the first real strategic bombing in human history!
With the appearance of airships, the term "strategic bombing" has repeatedly appeared in front of the world. As early as during the "Battle of Brazil", the Imperial Air Force used large airships to bomb Brazilian cities. During the entire campaign, More than [-] tons of bombs were dropped on cities such as Rio de Janeiro.

At this time, some supporters of the theory of air power imagined the prospect of strategic bombing: "Strategic bombing will destroy the enemy's large-scale industrial centers and populous cities. It will make them lose their war capabilities and morale and play the leading role in the war." , and the former navy and army battles will also be reduced to secondary or auxiliary battles."

Although people have certain foresight about strategic bombing, and even in the 70s and 90s, European countries invested a lot of money in the development of airship forces, but strategic bombing has always remained in theory.

Even after the war broke out, France, which had a large number of airships, failed to carry out strategic bombing of the United Kingdom-the United Kingdom deployed a large number of anti-aircraft airships and anti-aircraft artillery in places such as London, which posed a serious threat to airships.

And the appearance of the plane made the airship a yesterday's flower, and this flower is melancholy!It seems that it has become vulnerable.

"When the whole world thought that the airship had lost its function, we unexpectedly used the airship again. Is it because we want the airship to perform a curtain call before the curtain falls?"

Looking at the huge airships at the foot of the mountain, Lieutenant General Li Du couldn't help sighing. As the Viscount of Versailles of Ming Dynasty, he got his title by commanding the planes to bomb Versailles.

The airship once created miracles in his hands, but now?

Now that the era of airships has come to an end, now, it may even be just its dying struggle.

It took only a few decades for a weapon to be eliminated from its invention. When he bombed Versailles and won the title in high spirits, he never thought that such a day would come.

Thinking of these monster-like airships ending like this, Li Du felt a little sad, the era of airships is over.

Perhaps, they will create brilliance today, but what about in the future?

"Mr. Li, without the airship, what will we use for bombing in the future?"

Li Du was dumbfounded by Di Shangwen's rhetorical question, and after thinking for a while, he said.

"Airplane! I heard that the company is researching large long-range bombers. We should use real large bombers for bombing in the future,"

"Large long-range bomber? Better than an airship?"

"Maybe it is not as good as airships now, but with the development of technology in the future, bomber technology will definitely become more and more advanced. In the end, it will definitely surpass airships. I am very sure of this. After all, the advantages of aircraft are something we cannot ignore .”

What the officer said made Di Shangwen sigh. He silently took a puff of cigarette, and then said.

"Since the curtain call is coming, let's have a beautiful curtain call performance!"

Perhaps, for them, this is a very lucky thing, at least they have the opportunity to have a farewell performance when they leave this stage.

Today's bombing will be the largest bombing operation organized by the Imperial Floating Force.180 three airships that took off from multiple airship fields in Cuba, carrying more than a thousand tons of bombs, rushed to New York!

They will spread death and destruction to New York. In the next few days, this kind of continuous bombing will be carried out continuously. Its war of confidence.

Of course, this is the official statement. As the implementer of this bombing plan, Li Du is very clear that this bombing plan was formulated by His Majesty himself, and its purpose is to tell the Roman Empire through the bombing and the destruction of New York. ——The power of the empire is stronger than he imagined. Through a bombing with obvious strength contrast, the Roman Empire will not make a misjudgment.

"Okay, get ready to perform!"

At this time, on the airship field, the engines of the heavy airships suspended in the air had begun to warm up, and the airship field was full of busy ground crews and airship officers.

"According to the route calculation. We should arrive in the sky over New York around 8 o'clock in the evening. That is around 20 o'clock New York time."

Before takeoff, Cheng Kunpeng once again calculated the flight distance and time on the navigation map.

"Although it is night, New York is a city that never sleeps. When the time comes, the lights of New York will show us where to go."

Deputy captain Shao Wei said indifferently.

"It's not an easy thing to take off at night, and we basically don't need to think about the threat of the plane."

Cheng Kunpeng nodded and said.

"This is also the reason for the night bombing. It is not easy for planes to take off and land at night, and it is even more difficult for combat. However, we must be careful of the airship artillery unit. Don't forget that it is clearly stated in the mission book-in order to avoid being hit , we want to drop bombs at an altitude of 6000 meters. After dropping the bombs, the flying altitude will reach 8000 meters, 8000 meters. Not to mention that the airship guns cannot reach us, even American planes cannot fly so high. The limit is only 6000 meters!"

Combat is a science that requires careful planning. In order to carry out this bombing, the air force took everything into consideration. In order to make the airship fly higher, they reduced the amount of water in the water tank by a few After tons of counterweight water, the airship can fly to more than 7000 meters, and it can fly higher when the weight is reduced after the bomb is dropped.

As long as it reaches above 7000 meters, the plane... can't reach it at all!

If you can't reach it, of course you don't have to worry about their threats.

Just when Shao Wei wanted to say something.At this time, the signal light on the side of the airship field that was ready to take off came on.

"Quick, get ready to take off..."

Just like that, with the dim morning, airships flew into the sky one after another. In just half an hour, nearly [-] airships took off slowly at the airship yard.The airships that rose into the air were formed in formation in the northern waters of Cuba, and then they flew northward and towards New York without hesitation.

When the airship troops attacked, Li Du, the "Viscount of Versailles" of the empire silently watched the spectacular scene in front of him. His heart was filled with a certain kind of special emotion. I am afraid that such a spectacular scene will never happen again in the future. up...
