Chapter 1481 The Sincere Roman Empire (First update, please subscribe)
On the other side of the ocean, in Constantinople, in the Palace of Victory... which was the former Ottoman Palace, in that resplendent hall.

Standing in front of the national emblem of the double-headed eagle and wearing a blue military uniform, Alexander III listened to Werther's report with a solemn expression. When he heard that the entire New York had been destroyed, his fingers even trembled involuntarily.

This kind of thing is unheard of!

A huge city with a population of one million was razed to the ground overnight, and tens of thousands of people were buried in flames.

This, is this true?
Seeing His Majesty's silence, Werther said.

"Your Majesty, the news has confirmed that New York was indeed bombed, and it was razed to the ground after the bombing. According to the news revealed by the American newspaper news, the bombing caused about 50 casualties, and about three-quarters of the city The area was burnt and destroyed in the conflagration created by the bombing, . . . ”

Letting out a sharp breath, Alexander III said in astonishment.

"Are you sure that war can be conducted like this?"

Then he asked back.

"Isn't such bombing a violation of the laws of war?"

"Your Majesty, only the weak seek the protection of international law, and the strong do not need it!"

What the strong need is... trample!
For a moment, Alexander III fell into silence. Just a few days ago, he was still considering whether to negotiate peace with Britain alone, but now?

Facing the reality of New York being destroyed, he suddenly discovered one thing - the power of Da Ming has not been released until now, they just tried a small trick and razed a city to the ground, if next, they What about bombing?

"Your Majesty, according to the official notification from the Ming Empire, they will continue to bomb the United States to end this war."

"Keep up the bombing, end the war? What are they trying to do?"

It is true that for this world, strategic bombing is an extremely fresh vocabulary. After all, the essence of strategic bombing is... killing civilians and destroying factories.

"Destroy the city, blow up the factory, and then force the United States to cease fighting. Your Majesty, the reason why the Ming Empire is not active in attacking is entirely because their purpose is to destroy the entire city! By destroying the city, killing and injuring civilians, forcing the United States to lose confidence in victory,"

"But what about anger?"

Alexander III asked back.

"What about the anger caused by such a bombing? Don't they know that anger can make people braver?"

"Perhaps at the beginning, the Americans will be angry and they will fight bravely, but your majesty, with the destruction of one city after another, with the destruction of factories, when the industrial power of the United States suffers unprecedented losses, the American people Morale is fading too, and eventually, they will face reality... and the reality is that the Empire is invincible! Death..."

Witte said directly.

"Enough to make everyone fearful, and the only prerequisite for people not to be afraid of death is... not enough people die!"

As long as enough people die, then all problems will not be a problem, even the most tenacious people can do it?Facing death and destruction that they are powerless to resist, they will only choose to surrender in the end.

"Airships... haven't airships been eliminated? Airplanes... can't airplanes easily destroy airships?"

Alexander III immediately thought of the planes they bought from the empire at a high price, but in fact it was not a big price. Compared with the airships, the planes were so cheap that they were not worth mentioning.

"Your Majesty, this...we don't know for sure, but what is certain is that they carried out the bombing at night. Perhaps, this is also a new tactic..."

Witte is not a soldier, but he can guess why Daming chose to bomb at night... because he can't see it!
"New tactics..."

Alexander III grinned, his expression became a little complicated, and then he said to himself.

"We...they have unleashed a demon of war. After this demon is released, no country can escape from it. From now on, whoever can control the sky will control the root of victory in war. Werther, We must increase investment in aircraft. The whole world is just beginning to use aircraft. The advantage of the Ming Empire in the sky is only temporary. It is far from the gap between warships. Aircraft carriers, yes, we also need aircraft carriers. The sky is the future, if this sky must belong to anyone, then it must belong to us."

At this moment, Alexander III seemed to become a science lover. The fundamental premise of the king's love of science is that science can bring them money and victory in wars. This is the most fundamental reason.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the sky is the future,"

While deeply agreeing, Witte asked again.

"And what about us and the UK? What choices should we make now?"

how to choose……

As the ruler of the Roman Empire, Alexander III was also very melancholy in his heart. Of course, he hoped to get something for nothing, but on the other hand, he was frightened by the power displayed by the empire in New York!

Scared!

A bombing caused tens of thousands of casualties, whoever it is, who is not afraid!
If such bombing continues, is it possible that the Ming Empire will be defeated?Is it possible that the British Empire will defeat them?
When this idea came to his mind, he thought for a while, and then said.

"Tell the British that it is impossible for us to betray the alliance. For the Roman Empire, there is nothing more important than the friendship between the alliance. Betrayal! That is absolutely impossible... By the way..."

Betrayal is not impossible, but the price is too high!
After thinking about it, Alexander III said again.

"We can also disclose this news to the Ming Empire and let them know how much we value the friendship of the alliance. Well, we need some more planes, one hundred? No, we need at least three hundred planes. Our Persian battlefield... No!"

Shaking his head violently suddenly, Alexander III said.

"We will launch an attack on East Prussia in the spring! The Roman Empire will prove everything with actions! Prove that our Roman Empire will never fail the trust between the alliance!"

When Alexander III vowed to say these words, he didn't even think about it. A few days ago, he was still thinking about how to choose to maximize the interests of the Roman Empire.

Now, the reason why Alexander Thirty would say something is for friendship, for alliance and trust.It's simply because the situation is compelling. If there were no incendiary bombs falling on New York, there would be no friendship with the Roman Empire...
