Chapter 1479 Damei needs a victory (first update, please subscribe)
That night, New York was crying!
New York, the most prosperous and most populous city in the North American continent, turned into ruins overnight...

The flames burned for two days and two nights.The scene of the huge fire whirlwind piercing the night sky has become the deepest memory of this fire.

When the flames were extinguished, the whole of New York disappeared, at least as a city, New York disappeared.

Only a ruined wall remained.

How many people died in the fire?

Is it 20?Or 50?

or more?
No one knows, at least on the day after New York was razed to the ground, there was no accurate figure, but the next day, all American newspapers reported the news in a tone of grief and indignation.

In the pens of the journalists, no matter what words they use to describe the anger in their hearts and the tragedy of the fire, they dare not... describe their hatred for the empire!
Why not, because they are afraid, they are afraid that the next city to be nominated will be their city, and they are afraid that the next city where dragons fly will become their city.

who is the next?
Just when people were facing the destroyed New York with anxiety, in Washington, in the White House, the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.

New York is devastated!

Entire cities were razed to the ground...

In fact, this is a bit exaggerated. After all, there are still a few walls that have not collapsed, um, there are still a few buildings that have not collapsed.

Anyway... New York is over.

"It's not the airship, the airship has been eliminated!"

Sitting there, Cleveland, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at everyone with resentment on his face like an angry little daughter-in-law.

How did that happen?

Isn't the airship gone?

Daming... doesn't talk about Wude!
Didn't you agree that everyone will use airplanes in the future?
"Mr. President, we did not expect that at night... airships can carry out night bombing..."

Minister of War Lamont pursed his lips, he was so helpless.

How could Daming be so ignorant of martial arts?

Bombing at night, don't they know that planes can't take off at night?

In fact, the plane can take off at night, but the technology is not enough.

"What didn't I expect? As early as during the Franco-Prussian War, the Ming Empire used airships to carry out night strikes. Why didn't I think of it now?"

"That's different."

Lamont argued.

"We have conducted experiments. Although the airship can carry out political take-off and landing at night, but for bombing, the sight is very poor, and it is almost impossible to hit the target, so..."

"So they blew up New York!"

Roosevelt, the former New York police chief, said indignantly.

"The accuracy of the airship bombing at night is really low, but they bombed New York, New York is so big, the whole city is their target, they destroyed the whole city, Lamont, do you know how many people died in New York? Did you know that New York is still burning right now? Did you know that New York...has disappeared from the world?"

Facing Roosevelt's successive questioning, Lamont felt lucky and bitter.

It's not that we are too incompetent, it's that the empire is too cunning!
Open your mouth, Lamont said.

"We really didn't expect that the Ming Empire would be so brutal, they would be so immoral and inhuman, yes, they would bomb civilians in such inhumane way!"

What is the most correct now?

Of course it is to blame the Ming Empire, the more cruel the Ming Empire is, the more it can take the blame.

What kind of air-raid shelter, what kind of air-raid facilities.

Just kidding, when New York was not burned to ashes, who of you said that the empire would bomb the United States, no, before the war, he Lamont had proposed this possibility, but what did the governors of the states say? What about?
They said it wasn't necessary, because the war didn't break out, so it wasn't necessary!
What about later?

They say it's not necessary because it's the age of the airplane.

Well, one is unnecessary, killing hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers.

"How many casualties are there in New York?"

"About 50, maybe more..."

"My God! How could so many people die?"

"Mr. President, this is bombing, the result of inhumane bombing..."

Roosevelt emphasized again.

"Mr. President, we are at war with an inhuman enemy who has no humanity and no mercy, and we must take revenge for the dead New Yorkers! Civilized behavior is only among civilized people, Barbarism must be met with brutality! We must stop violence with violence!"

Roosevelt seemed a little excited at this time, how could he not be excited, his home is in New York, in the bombing of New York, he not only lost many friends, but even lost a lot of property, God can testify, the fire directly killed him The house was burned to ashes!
Not to hate...is it possible?

"We want revenge! And we must have revenge!"

Cleveland said directly.

"This is our promise to all of us, and if we fail to avenge New Yorkers, we will lose all support!"

What is most important to these politicians?
Of course it is support, although it seems illusory, but they really need the support of those people, at least to some extent.

"Can we bomb Daming? Can we carry out retaliatory bombing of Daming?"

As soon as Cleveland finished speaking, Secretary of War Lamont shook his head and said.

"It's almost impossible!"

"Why not!"

Roosevelt said excitedly.

"They can drop bombs on our heads, can't we drop bombs on their heads?"

"Roosevelt, it's not impossible, but..."

Lamont said.

"We are too far away from Daming,"

"Too far, then they..."

Roosevelt only said half of what he said, and then he understood.

"We're too far from their homeland, and they're far from us, Cuba! You mean Cuba?  …"

Lamont nodded and said.

"Yes, Cuba, their airship takes off from Cuba,"

When Cuba was occupied by the Ming Empire, no one realized the danger.At most, it is just worrying that the Ming Empire will set up a naval base there.

And the fact is also true. After the day of occupying Cuba, the Ming Empire set up a naval base there, and their submarines set out from Cuba to intercept and attack merchant ships on the east coast.

That was the threat they saw back then, but what about now?

Facing the airship taking off from Cuba, they suddenly discovered the importance of Cuba to the United States.

"In the past, in order to guard against the airships of the empire, we established a hundred air defense observation posts in the west and the border area of ​​the empire and in the central part. But now their airships take off directly from Cuba. After taking off from there, they can fly on the sea, far away from us After all, it is impossible for us to set up observation posts on the sea. They can now bomb our port cities on the east coast at will. From the perspective of American security, we must retake Cuba. Only in this way can we protect ourselves safety, and prevent our city from falling into ruins like New York."

Facing Roosevelt's suggestion, Cleveland pondered for a while, then asked.

"Are we capable of taking back Cuba?"

The president's question made Roosevelt think for a moment, and then he spoke.

"We can accept the suggestion of the British, and, Mr. President, what we need now is revenge, and we must retaliate. Only in this way can the morale of the American people be awakened."

The impact of this bombing on the morale of the American people is self-evident.Roosevelt clearly knew that Americans were not just hungry for revenge.They are eager to win, and they are eager to wash away their inner fear through victory.

In the face of devastated New York Americans is outrage.But apart from their anger, they also felt unprecedented fear.

After all, the cruelty of war is far beyond their imagination, and the death caused by the destructive weapons possessed by the enemy is also an iron fact. In this case, the United States needs a victory to wake up the people.

"So my suggestion is..."
