Chapter 897 The British Empire Wants to Move Stones Again (First Update, Please Subscribe)
"Do you know what destruction is?"

If someone asked Bryan or MacArthur before today, they might say that the volcano erupted, but now?

After witnessing two bombings in succession, they understood what destruction is.

Destruction is brought about by airships.

"We carried more than 300 tons of bombs and attacked two military camps, so that's it!"

On the return trip, Brian saw Colonel Ma Guangming again, and the colonel even gave them a sumptuous "airship meal"-in fact, it was just canned food and biscuits.Several enamel plates and two pairs of chopsticks, and even two glasses of "victory wine".

When the victory wine was in the mouth, it was a little bit pungent, which made it hard for Brian to accept it, but now he didn't care about that much at all, and he stared at the colonel in front of him with red eyes.

"What do you mean, Colonel, you killed at least 6 or [-] people!"

"War, people always die!"

Ma Guangming said something lightly.

"Either the enemy dies, or we die. We just drop bombs from the sky..."

The light "just" sounded extremely harsh to Brian's ears. He looked at the colonel in front of him and said it for a long time.

"You changed war!"

Yes, they have changed the way of war. Once upon a time, the army's war was gun to gun, gun to gun. Everyone went to the rear to rest when they were tired, and then continued to fight after recharging their energy.

But what about now?
Everything has changed, the airship has completely changed the way of warfare, in front of the airship, infantry is almost vulnerable.

"How many airships have you dispatched?"

"All, all!"

Ma Guangming said with a smile.

"We attacked twelve camps. Well, if nothing else happens, it's almost the same result!"

In an instant, Brian was dumbfounded, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he was speechless for a long time. After a long time, a word popped out of his mouth.

"massacre!"

Is it massacre?
No, this is war!

What is iron rain?

This is Iron Rain!
As primitive as this Iron Storm was, for nineteenth-century armies the result was devastating, not just a catastrophe, but a crushing blow.

When Pedro received the report from the Minister of War, he was stunned for a while before speaking in a joking tone.

"My friend, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me? They destroyed 30 of our military camps, and more than [-] Brazilian soldiers were either killed or injured. Is this possible? Today is not April Fool's Day!"

Today is not April Fool's Day!
But this catastrophic attack was real, so real that everyone suspected that it was a bit fake, and people couldn't believe it was real.

"Your Majesty, this has indeed happened!"

The Minister of War replied truthfully, his tone full of sadness!

It's just that all of this is no longer important. The important thing is that the airship's attack on Brazil's recruit training camp has fundamentally changed the balance of strength between the two sides. Brazil's newly mobilized army was broken before it entered the battlefield.

After the news came out, the rich and powerful in Rio de Janeiro all fled the city in horror and fled to their respective plantations.They are afraid that the next target is Rio de Janeiro.

They... guessed right!

The bombing of Rio de Janeiro is not the present, though.But that didn't stop the rich from fleeing the cities, and it certainly didn't stop Brazilian bonds from plummeting in European markets.

The impact of the bombing on Brazil was immediate.

Faced with the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops in the bombing, especially when the bonds plummeted, Emperor Pedro II was a little bit overwhelmed.

"How could this be, they are just bombing!"

It's just bombing. When did the bombing of the airship become so powerful?

Pedro II couldn't find the answer at all. Of course, if he had to find the answer, then the answer was very -- there is a kind of airship called Daming's airship!
"Their bombing completely destroyed our barracks. Your Majesty, fear of airships is everywhere in the army and among the people!"

"What should we do now?"

Facing the cabinet ministers, Pedro II asked back.

"Are we just going to let them bomb us?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps, it's time to seek the mediation of other countries to end this war..."

……

"They're dreaming!"

In the British embassy, ​​after sending off the Brazilian foreign minister, Ambassador Raul looked at his car leaving and turned to Counselor Randolph.

"The Brazilians want peace talks, but they don't know, it's just a dream!"

After sneering, he walked straight towards the lawn in the backyard of the embassy.

"Mr. Ambassador, didn't London's previous decision hope that Brazil would resist and then use them to contain Ming?"

Randolph asked a little puzzled.

"Do you think they still have the ability to contain Daming?"

After walking under the parasol, Ambassador Lauka sat down and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Facts have proved that no one in these South American countries can stop Ming Dynasty, even Brazil... Look, what did they do after the war broke out? Conscripted 70 black slaves from the plantations, For the Brazilian government, war is not a war, but an opportunity to liberate black slaves. They can use the excuse of war to ask the slave owners to hand over their slaves and then give them freedom. War is only a way to solve the domestic crisis.”

In fact, in the past few years, the calls for freedom for black people in Brazil have been very strong, but they have been opposed by the manor owners. The political struggle between the slavery faction and the liberation faction is very fierce. It can neutralize the mud, but the outbreak of the war has allowed Brazil to see a solution to the crisis-freeing slaves by recruiting a large number of black slaves, and the country can also get a large number of soldiers.

After taking a sip of the tea brought by the maid, Raul continued:
"Is it possible for such a country to defeat Daming? Randolph, haven't you read the report? Daming...that is a Spartanized country! Now, their airships have completely destroyed Brazil's war potential, so the remaining The problem is simple, they will attack Rio de Janeiro soon!"

"But the information we obtained before is..."

Before Randolph finished speaking, Raul said.

"Before that, people's ambitions would continue to expand. Before that, we thought that the Brazilians could contain Daming, but now it seems that this is simply a joke. These white people in South America, after experiencing conflicts with the Indians After the mixed blood, they no longer have the heroism of the white people, they are like Indians, they are easy to be conquered, Ming will definitely conquer here, and..."

Turn your gaze into the distance, Raul said.

"We also need them to conquer Brazil. Only when they conquer Brazil will it be possible for the United States and other countries to realize the threat of Ming! Through this kind of real threat, let them all stand on the side of the British Empire. Of course, these The country seems to be vulnerable, but if the Ming army wants to occupy these places, it must be occupied country by country. In the end, the vast land will disperse their forces. Guerrilla warfare will exhaust their strength. Don't think that Impossible, Napoleon was exhausted in Spain, and all we need now is to recreate the past."

Once upon a time, the Napoleonic Empire was so powerful, but it was eventually destroyed by the British Empire, and that was the highlight moment of the British Empire. Even now, when Raul mentioned these, his face was full of pride.

"Sir, is this London's decision?"

Facing the subordinate's inquiry, Raul shook his head and said.

"This is a realistic decision. If Brazil cannot save itself, then all we have to do is turn them into tools! Use them one last time!"
