I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 408 Information Leakage
"This is war. It is indeed impossible to completely avoid the death of civilians. Even idealists still need to consider the reality."

The middle-aged man's words continued.

"However, you can indeed consider how to deter and combat militarism while ensuring minimal casualties."

The representative of Beichen stared at the middle-aged man quietly, but said nothing.

The middle-aged man obviously noticed her gaze and turned his head to face her with an awkward and polite smile.

"what happened?"

"A friend of mine said that you are much more dangerous than Nicholas II who stepped down." Representative Beichen picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip. "I didn't think so at the time, because we are stronger than you. There are many, and I am confident that I will be stronger than you in the future. But now."

She paused before saying, "I think he's right."

She looked at the middle-aged man, with an unknown meaning in her dark pupils, "Your danger does not lie in wealth and national power."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, but at this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.

The sharp and piercing siren sounded from far to near, making everyone present frown.

And a soldier opened the door directly and walked in.

"Is it a battle alarm?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, sir." The soldier said, "The initial judgment is that it is the German army."

"Why did they come to attack us? Did they leak the news?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.

The soldier nodded, "Although I don't know the specific reason why Germany attacked us, it should be like this."

"It seems that the things William II left behind in this country are harder to find than we thought." The middle-aged man murmured in a low voice.

He slowly stood up and looked at everyone present, "I'm sorry, everyone, the meeting may have to end here. You can leave here first."

He looked at Jeanne d'Arc and Laman, "They probably came for the weapon. You came in an airship, right?"

Jeanne nodded.

"You go to Novaya Zemlya and transport Katyusha away directly." The middle-aged man said.

"We can help." Joan of Arc said, "Our airships are very destructive to warships on the sea."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said, "It would be best if I could help. It is undeniable that the airships stationed in St. Petersburg were basically destroyed by Zeus. We really don't have the ability to deal with warships now."

Tesla also stood up, "I'll go with you."

They walked out of the Winter Palace together and came to the palace square outside the Winter Palace.

But at this moment, a temporary high platform was built in the square. The high platform was about 20 meters high. The airboat that Joan and Raman were sitting in when they arrived was tied to this high platform with ropes.

On the side of the high platform, two tall mechas stood.

"This is Britannia's airship." Raman said to Tesla, "But it uses your engine technology, and the name is Leviathan. If there is a tailwind, the six engines will run at full power. Its speed can reach 150km/h."

Tesla nodded. This should be one of the fastest airships in this era.

Of course, it couldn't be compared with his airship. After all, the propeller used was taken from Tony, and it was something beyond this era.

Moreover, this airship is much larger than his, and it is also equipped with many weapons and ammunition. These are factors that affect its speed.

The middle-aged man also walked out, followed by Beichen and representatives of Britannia.

The middle-aged man gestured to the mechas on both sides, and the mechas bent down and put down their palms.

Tesla, along with Jeanne d'Arc, Raman, and Britannia's representative Rayleigh, walked up to the palm.

Rayleigh came in an airship with Joan of Arc and others.

Then, the mecha was lifted up again, directly bringing several people to the high platform, and entering the airship through the link between the high platform and the airship.

The airship disconnected the rope, and as the airbag of the airship re-inflated, it slowly lifted off.

Tesla and Joan of Arc walked along the corridor inside the airship, heading towards the head of the pod.

Although the airship is very large, most of the volume is actually airbags, and the size of the pod is not large, about 61 meters.

Some resemble a huge whale carrying its calf.

They quickly reached the front of the pod.

That is, the console of the entire pod. According to professional terms, this is called the bridge.

The captain issues instructions from the bridge and controls the entire airship.

All crew members in the engine room, bomb bay, and top of the airship are under command from the bridge.

There was also a short-haired carpet on the ground, with a huge Britannia logo on it.

All around were members of the Allied Powers who were busy doing something.

There is a telegraph machine on the table on the right, and an interpreter wearing different clothes is sitting on a chair listening to the telegram.

In the center of the bridge, Joan of Arc was standing upright with her arms folded in front of her chest, looking at the scene in front of her with a serious face through the window.

As if he heard something, the translator turned his head and shouted.

"Information came from the Intelligence Department. Germany dispatched three underwater mechas. According to the time when the intelligence was sent, they should be near us now." "Underwater submarine?" Raman frowned slightly. If it is a warship, If so, their airships can be of some help, but as for the underwater mechas, they will have to wait until they land.

Joan of Arc walked forward slowly, picked up a telescope from the side and went to the starboard window to look down. At this moment, they had flown over the Barents Sea, heading towards Novaya Zemlya.

She saw three splashes of water below the Leviathan.

She pictured three large machines swinging their legs underwater.

"The two escort mechas are about the same size as a light frigate." Jeanne looked at the water splash below and judged, "but the middle one is at least as big as a small destroyer."

"Is it a submarine?" Raman asked.

Tesla raised his eyebrows and stepped forward quickly, "Do you still have a telescope?"

The staff on one side handed him one directly, and he also raised his binoculars and looked through the porthole.

The water surface was pitch black. Under the light of the rising moon, the bubbles emerging from the water looked like scattered pearls. They were very delicate and did not look like they were emitted by a mechanical engine.

The air was filled with the atmosphere of battle, and the roar of engines was everywhere.

His face was a little serious. He originally thought that the Zeus ship was already the most advanced submarine in the world, but the enemy's technological progress was beyond his imagination.

"It's less than a hundred feet deep," the pilot said, with the chart spread out on the table. "This is the shallowest water for miles, sir."

"Then I think we should be able to attack them in advance." Tesla said.

Hearing this, everyone on the bridge looked at him.

Tesla slowly said, "Driver, slow down to a quarter and ride the wind."

The pilot glanced at the captain, and the captain nodded.

The vibration of the engine became softer, and the airship began to tilt to the right.The water below is gradually approaching Novaya Zemlya.

"The bubbles will move with the water flow as they rise," Tesla said. "What is the flow rate below?"

The pilot lowered his binoculars and said, "About five knots, sir."

"We just have to figure out how long it takes for the bubble to float up from a hundred feet."

Tesla thought quietly, murmuring softly as he thought.

"It depends on the size of the bubble. It takes a few seconds for a bubble the size of a champagne foam to rise an inch."

"But obviously, these are not champagne foam, they are discharged from large diesel engines. At least as big as a baseball."

He thought for a moment, "About ten feet per second."

After rehearsing it in his mind for a while, he then said, "Get ready to drop the bomb. Listen to my command. Three, two, one!"

With the sound of shells being loaded echoing in the corridor, aerial bombs were dropped from above the airship.

The deck shook slightly, and Tesla felt some pain in his knees. He leaned on the slanted window, trying to get a clear view of the situation below the airship.

At first there was no change at all, just the dark sea.Then there was a splash on the water and the bomb entered the water.

A few seconds later, the bomb exploded, blooming like a silver flower in the moonlight.The air flow generated by the explosion rushed out of the water, forming a white dome, and huge waves splashed onto the shallow pool.

"Closer." Joan ordered.

The Leviathan slowly turned around, and the bridge windows faced Novaya Zemlya. The water calmed down, and Tesla leaned forward to look for traces of the underwater mecha's exhaust.

One of the mechas had a malfunction - the bubbles coming out were huge.Then a large cloud of bubbles spurted out, like boiling water.

"Second explosion," the first mate said. "One of the escort mechas was destroyed by the shock wave."

"A turtle in a urn." Jeanne murmured softly.

Tesla seemed to have an underwater scene in his mind, and how the people inside tried in vain to prevent the influx of sea water.The other mecha also malfunctioned, and the bubbles it expelled were getting bigger and smaller.However, its movement was relatively small, the bubbles gradually became smaller, and then there was nothing.

"The two little ones are done, sir," the first mate said.

Tesla shuddered slightly. Although he created the Zeus ship, he hated diving into the bottom of the sea because his imagination was too strong.

The scene of the engine failing and the mecha gradually falling in despair in the dark and cold deep sea even appeared in his mind.

"Submarines have stronger armor, sir." The first mate turned from the window.

"Then another round."

However, as its words fell, the warship seemed to have completely given up hiding, and the water waves on the sea surface quickly moved towards Novaya Zemlya.

They saw that the submarine was less than two kilometers away from the research institution on Novaya Zemlya.

"Wait a minute!" Joan of Arc stopped the plan to continue the bombing with a solemn expression.

At this time, they can only bomb one more round, and they cannot guarantee whether it will affect this research institution.

No one knows how that weapon works. If it is detonated by their bombing, not only the scientists in the institute will die here.

Their idea of ​​ending this war early will also be forced to an end.So it takes a little bit of targeting.

The mecha was less than a kilometer away from the coast, but its top was already above the water.The water washes off the deck, leaving behind seaweed and salt stains.The metal body under the sea surface glowed, and with the roar of the engine, the giant claws under the mecha stretched out of the water.
