Chapter 1484 The Opportunity of the British Empire (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Sidley's 27th year, February [-]th, [-], Valentine's Day.

It's just that for many girls, this is destined to be a Valentine's Day without a lover.

It was a rare fine day in London, with a clear sky.

It's a pity that Thomas, who was sitting on a bench in Hyde Park, was in a very bad mood, and he found himself becoming more and more homesick.

Home, where is home?
That's Daming.

It's been 16 years!

Sitting on the bench and smoking a cigarette, Thomas thought: 16 years ago, he came to the UK, entered Cambridge under a disguised identity, and then entered the spaceship company to become a spaceship engineer. Spaceships are airships.

Although he has an enviable job in the UK, deep down in his heart he longs to go home.Not because he feared that one day he would be exposed and executed as a spy.It's because, in his opinion, Daming is his real home.

And only when he returned to Daming, Thomas felt that he would have a real home.

Although he is 35 years old, he still does not have a home of his own. Of course, he has a lover. Just two days ago, he was in the house he rented with the baroness, the baroness Repeatedly asked him not to use security measures, she is a newly promoted widow - her husband has just died in the French battlefield, she needs a child to inherit the title, of course pretending to be the heir of her dead husband, there is no way, in her claim Please, as for success, it depends on luck.

Currently, to him, that widow is just his lover, maybe she will give birth to his child, but he hopes to have his own family, his own wife and children...

Just like now... Seeing the woman enjoying the sun pushing the baby carriage passed by, this is what Thomas hoped to be able to walk into the sun.

He was imagining the future in his heart, imagining his own family, Thomas, when he suddenly heard a harsh siren, and like many passers-by around him, he also looked up to the sky: at an altitude of about 20000 feet in the southwest direction, the clear sky Several white clouds appeared on the sky. If you have a telescope, you will be able to find that it is a huge cigar.

Of course, they are definitely not cigars, but airships of the French Empire
The Frenchman's airship is over London!

On such a sunny day!
What are those idiots in the air defense department doing?
idiot!
At this moment, he saw several black dots struggling to fly high in the sky.

But they obviously can't fly that high. After learning about the devastating bombing of New York by the Ming Empire, Thomas, as an engineer, immediately figured out how the Ming Empire did it. There is height, and height matters.

Compared with airplanes, if airships reduce the water used for counterweight, they can reach altitudes that airplanes cannot reach.Naturally, there is no need to worry about threats from the ground and aircraft.

Now, the French must have adopted the same method!
Didn't they know that after the Ming Empire bombed New York, the French were likely to launch an air raid on London?

Looking up at the sky, Thomas cursed those idiots in his heart. It wasn't that he was worried about what kind of bombing London would suffer, but that he was worried that he would be bombed!
The park was full of harsh police whistles, and people were running in a panic. Thomas cursed in a low voice, while running with the flow of people with all his strength, and ran towards the nearest subway station. The subway station is the best air defense facility. .

In fact, it cannot be said that the Royal Air Defense Department of the United Kingdom was not prepared. They at least prepared...the subway. They had already planned the subway as an air-raid shelter. Before London was bombed, they had conducted many drills.

Now... this is not a drill!

There were constant sirens on the radio, as well as nervous and hasty shouts from the announcer.

"This is not a drill, please take shelter at the nearest subway station immediately, this is not a drill..."

But what if there is no subway station nearby?
Then lie on the ground or be bombed in the bathtub!
When Thomas entered the subway station, he vaguely heard the sound of a bomb exploding, and loud noises began to come from a distance...

The sound of air defense disarming sirens echoed in the sky over London. Cecil, the Prime Minister of the Empire, was standing at the window of his office, watching the thick smoke rising in the distance, gnashing his teeth, his eyes full of hatred.

"As God bears witness, we will have their revenge! This is the first time—the first time London has been attacked by invaders!"

This bombing is simply hitting the face of the British Empire!
Standing beside him, Belfort looked a little heavy, although in the House of Commons he was called by his colleagues a politician who could handle things well even in the Machiavelli era.But politicians are useless when encountering such things.

"Yes, we must take revenge!"

Belfort said directly.

"If we can't retaliate against the French with bombs, and don't throw bombs in Paris, then the whole world will see our weakness, even Britain...the British people will not accept our weakness, we must fight back with a strong force Go and prove to them... that the British Empire will fight back against all challenges it faces!"

"Yes, we must use the most powerful counterattack to prove this to the whole world. The British Empire will never allow others to attack!"

Cecil said in an angry tone.

"For God's sake! We'll get our revenge on those damned Frenchies soon!"

Seeing that his uncle's anger had calmed down quite a bit, Belfort thought for a while, walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of whiskey, and poured him two glasses.He walked towards his uncle with the wine and handed him a glass of wine.

Seeing uncle said:

"We want revenge, and all we think about when we suffer such a bombing is revenge, so what about the Americans?"

American!
Before Cecil could speak, Belfort said word by word:
"It is conceivable that this air raid made all the British people feel angry, but what about the Americans? Their cities were destroyed and New York was turned into ruins. In this case, the Americans, could it be Don't you want revenge?"

Reaching out to take the wine glass from Belfort, he glanced at Belfort lightly:
"Yes, they will surely retaliate, at least they want to,"

"But how will they retaliate? There are at least tens of thousands of miles from the United States to Daming. Before their airship reaches the mainland of Daming, it is very likely that it will be exposed to the eyes of the world."

Belfort said with a smile.

"Now, our chance has come."
