Chapter 352 Will is for Ravage (First update, please subscribe)
With the falling of heavy bombs one after another, in the violent explosion, while the buildings collapsed, the city market was swallowed up by gunpowder smoke, just like the ancient city of Pompeii was swallowed up by volcanic ash.

The great power of these bombs is due to the large amount of high explosives contained in the bombs.For people in this era, at most they have seen the "silica explosives" produced by Nanhua, but Nanhua's bombs are filled with more powerful picric acid explosives.

Moreover, its charge coefficient is several times or even ten times that of ordinary artillery shells. People in this era are undoubtedly unfamiliar with such powerful bombs.

They were all dumbfounded, watching the familiar buildings turn into ruins in the violent explosion.

When the city was shrouded in thick smoke, whether it was the well-dressed upper-class people outside the city who seemed to be attending a banquet, or the British on the British warships on the Rio de la Plata, they were all stunned by this scene ,
He was still drinking, but Major General Henrys had already forgotten everything at the moment. He just stared into the distance like that. If anyone pays attention, they should find that his fingers are trembling.

"God! This, is this a war..."

Major General Henry's heart couldn't help trembling, he didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

As a professional military officer, he knew very well the limits of the power of weapons.Even the most powerful artillery can not cause such heavy damage.

He couldn't even imagine how those poor soldiers would survive such fierce bombing on the battlefield.

Now he seemed to understand why General Alsina surrendered.It wasn't that he was willing to surrender, but that he had no choice but to surrender in the face of such bombing.

Another option is to get all killed in the bombing.

Such an explosion is definitely not something human can resist.

"Damn, how can they have such powerful weapons? God!"

Major General Henrys kept talking to himself in his heart.

"If only they have this kind of weapon in the world, then the rules of war will be fundamentally changed. No one can withstand such a bombing, not even a warship."

Even at this moment, Henrys was even a little thankful for the choice he made before to keep the warship away from the port.

If the bomb falls on the warship, there is no doubt that the ship must be destroyed.

They stared dumbfounded at the continuously exploding smoke column. They witnessed the destruction with their own eyes, maybe not the destruction of the city, but they witnessed the destruction—the catastrophic destruction brought about by unprecedented destructive power!

"My God, no wonder they let us out early, no wonder... thank God they are still merciful!"

Edward Thornton couldn't help but draw the cross. For the first time, he was truly grateful to those South Chinese people in his heart because of their reminders!
In fact, he didn't know that the reason for notifying in advance was not because of kindness, but because of advertisements!

Nanhua needs to publicize the power of the airship through people's word of mouth, so it needs to let people witness it with their own eyes as a witness. Of course, this kind of onlooker is definitely not as direct as being in it, but the onlookers are more able to add fuel to the description of the bombing As a result, they will turn all this into their own talk.

This isn't just the talk of ordinary people.More importantly, ordinary people's embellishment of the bombing will give the world the illusion that Nanhua has something that no other country has.An extremely powerful weapon.

This weapon can not only bring huge damage, but also can fundamentally rewrite the outcome of the war.

Only in this case, those European countries will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy airships from Nanhua, and then invest huge sums of money to develop airships, and even start an air arms race like Britain and Germany before the First World War.

"Mercy! Edward, you think too much, they are not merciful, they are showing off! They are showing off their new toys to the whole world, God, how can they be allowed to master such terrible weapons?"

Even as a soldier, Henry's views were completely opposite to Edward's, and he even thought it was a conspiracy by the South Chinese.

This conspiracy couldn't be simpler, but it's just to tell the world that they have a weapon that no one else can fight against.

"Look, they remind everyone that they will bomb the city, why are they reminding? Because they need witnesses, need witnesses to tell the world how this city is destroyed, maybe, this city will not be destroyed, But in the mouths of the world, Buenos Aires has been destroyed! And this kind of destruction is beyond the resistance of the people of Buenos Aires, they can only watch helplessly as their city is destroyed little by little."

Staring at the city engulfed by gunpowder smoke, Henrys' eyes became a little complicated.

He could imagine how the people of Buenos Aires felt when they saw the city being destroyed like this.That kind of despair is enough to drive the weak-willed to its breaking point.

What is the most painful thing in the world?
Definitely not a defeat!

But in the time of war, the weak can only watch the strong beat him, 70 him without any room to fight back, all he can do is endure.

This is the most painful thing in the world.

It's like when a man's wife is ravaged by a villain, the man can only stand aside and watch his beloved woman be ravaged by the bully.

Just like the people of Buenos Alice now, no matter what their identity or status is.During this bombing, all they could do was watch from the sidelines.

Watching everything that was familiar to me be destroyed.

This kind of helplessness and despair will be engraved in everyone's heart, making them dare not resist the South China people in the days to come.

"They're not bombing the city, they're bombing everyone's will, maybe the city won't be destroyed, but Buenos Alice's heart was destroyed by them..."

Finally he sighed and murmured, staring at the airship in the sky.

"God, does the future really belong to airships?"

For the bystanders, what they feel is a kind of shock and surprise, but for the people in it, their emotions are complicated.

As the explosion drew nearer, the lanterns hanging from the ceiling in the dock warehouse shook.

In the explosion like thunder, the people in the warehouse screamed in horror from time to time, but most of the time, they were curious, and this curiosity was mixed with fear!

"Is it raining? Is it thundering?"

Anna said in a little surprise.

There was a heavy rumbling sound on the ground, and the rumbling sound was like thunder, giving people some kind of illusion.Accompanied by such a rumbling sound, dazzling flashes of light shot into the warehouse from the window from time to time.

At the same time, the walls were shaking, and dust was constantly falling from the top of the warehouse. Through the deafening explosions and oppressive whistling sounds, the rumbling explosions of heavy bombs could be heard more and more clearly.

When the dust falls on people, some timid people can't help screaming, they know that this is definitely not the thunder of summer.

But bombs!

A bomb that will take everyone's lives!
"God bless, bless us ignorant lambs..."

Amid the priest's prayers, people were silent, and some people followed the priest to pray.But what is the use of prayer at this time?

More people just sat there without saying a word, mechanically brushing off the dust that fell from the roof on their hair.

They didn't know what was going to happen next, but fear was written all over their faces.

Under the dim oil lamp, it can be clearly seen that the faces are pale and tense, and it seems that everyone is trying to calm down. passed around.

At this moment, the ground even trembled, and many people even shouted in horror.Because they found that the house seemed to be trembling there, and even the brick wall made strange noises there, and it looked like it was crumbling.

"Ammunition Depot!"

Suddenly someone yelled, and then he kept shaking his head and muttering.

"It must have exploded in the Navy ammunition depot! Exactly! I bet it must be that, it must be!"

Just as his words fell, there was a violent explosion somewhere nearby.At this moment, the ground seemed to shake, the table moved, and a whole piece of plaster fell from the roof.

Thick, suffocating smoke rushed in from the window, and everyone in the robbed warehouse coughed violently.

"Butcher!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly,

"This is a massacre, they want to kill us all, God, curse those damn South China people, let them go to hell! They are a bunch of devils!"

When the people who stood up were shouting there, the explosion outside was getting louder and louder. In the cloud of continuous explosion, as the bombing moved to the pier area, a huge cloud of smoke rose into the air, violently The explosion directly destroyed the buildings within hundreds of meters of Fang Yuan, and even Henrys, who was on the warship, felt the impact of the shock wave.

"My God, it's the arsenal, the arsenal exploded!"

Looking at the clouds of smoke rising into the sky, Henrys couldn't help but said.

"Nearly a thousand naval officers and soldiers are still stationed in that area, and they haven't evacuated at all...It's all right now, may God bless them!"

In fact, there are still many people in the city, many soldiers have not evacuated the city, they are still "guarding" the city, but the result?

All that awaits them is death.

Death, what would be left of those people in such an explosion?
Edward Thornton couldn't help expressing deep sympathy for those people, they must be wiped out!
Staring at the airship in the sky, listening to the roaring sound, he couldn't help but think of an idea—it's really a terrible weapon!
It is more than terrifying, it is simply the form of subversive war.

"General!"

Edward Thornton spoke suddenly.

"What do you think airship means?"

"What does it mean?"

Henrys thought for a while, staring at the airship that was still dropping bombs in the sky, and said.

"Do you believe it? The South China army is still hundreds of miles away, but they can use airships to drop bombs on this city. With airships, they can easily destroy everything, everything, and they can do nothing Any warning to bomb the city, as long as they want, no one can stop them in the air, and even everyone can only watch everything being destroyed by them like we are now. Sir, the way of war has changed!"

Edward Thornton nodded at the general's answer.

"Yes, the way of war has changed. Whether we want to face it or not, the airship has become the most important war machine in the war, and one thing is certain, the side with the airship must be the most likely to win the war. side."

"But, Edward, we don't have an airship."

Gazing at the airship throwing bombs unscrupulously in the sky, Henrys said.

"God can testify that the airship is definitely the most powerful weapon in the future. Although I don't want to admit it, I want to say that maybe the warship has been eliminated..."

Suddenly, Henrys blamed a huge mushroom cloud rising from the port, and said in surprise.

"My God, what happened there?"
