Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

It was late autumn in France, and most of the time the weather was northwest wind. The cold air of the North Atlantic blew in, bringing with it abundant moisture and a piercing chill.

However, Europe was different from Asia. At the southern end of the continent, there was still the Mediterranean Sea, and this ocean could also affect the atmospheric circulation. Thus, even during the strong autumn and winter northwest wind, there would still be occasional south winds.

This was actually the important reason why the continental Europe was always filled with rainfall. The humid air between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean had a very obvious temperature difference.

Europe's forests and grasslands are densely packed, and this is the main reason for the abundance of vegetation!

Li City had already been completely isolated by the Prussian. All the telegraph line s had been cut off, and the people and supplies had long been blocked by the Prussian.

At the beginning, they had sent messages back and forth with their pigeons, but as the Prussian army mobilized a large number of Falcons to patrol the city, it made the last line of communication extremely difficult.

At this point, the genius Frenchman even thought of using the kite to send a message, but kites were too difficult to control, and would often land before they reached the city.

Furthermore, those who fly kites outside the city will also be exposed, and eventually be shot and killed by the Prussian army!

Under such desperation, the Frenchman only had one choice, and that was to use the hot air balloon to force his way through. It was because of Gan Bida's successful precedent that caused even more warriors of the France to board the dangerous hot air balloon, disregarding their lives.

Almost all the meteorological observation stations started to move. Every day, the weather forecast would be summarized and sent to Orleans. Wherever the hot air balloons went, the soldiers would wait for them to start up in the south.

Every time the northwest wind would turn towards the southeast wind, these hot air balloons would set off. Dozens of Death teammate would ride on these balloons and fly towards Paris.

The day when Prince Karl transferred to his headquarters was when the rare south wind blew. In the sky, there were over fifty hot air balloons scattered across the hundred square kilometers in the sky.

These hot air balloons with all kinds of war declarations shot past Prussian army's head arrogantly, causing all the soldiers on the suspension chamber to scream and shout, and they even spat continuously.

On the black balloon that was facing Prince Karl, there was a line of bloody words written on it. "All French people, unite together and kill all the Prussian barbarians!"

There were even balloons that went directly to hell with "dirty Prussian pigs and Asian yellow monkeys!"

The furious Prince Karl immediately ordered for the balloons to be shot down, but the anti-aircraft cannons that Bismark had ordered for were not delivered yet. At the moment, the Prussian army did not have any weapons that could deal with the balloons.

The soldiers shot their rifles into the sky, the bullets only flew about half the way before they ran out of energy. The futile attacks caused the Death teammate in the sky to laugh loudly, and then used the wind to shoot towards Prince Karl's head.

The death troop had a very important mission this time, and it was to pass on the news of the Orleans's great victory. Before this, Gan Bida had been trying to think of all sorts of ways to restore the internal and external information in Paris, but in the end, it was all in vain.

He had sent so many death squads to try to sneak into Paris, but he was not sure how many of them had succeeded. His last hope lay in the hot air balloon.

It was a pity that the weather was not good these few days. The northwest wind s were always busy in the middle of France and this was definitely the norm in the autumn. But now, the France needed a wind from the southeast!

Maybe Gan Bida did not know that there was another story in China called "Borrowing the East". If he knew this, would he, who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, kowtow a few times even if he set up an altar?

The fifty hot air balloons that carried more than one hundred Death teammate s flew towards Paris. The journey was indeed smooth, they had discovered the direction that Prince Karl's army was moving in, and had also drawn up a road map for their march. One of the hot air balloons changed its direction and landed in the Shart region, and under the protection of the local guerrillas, it returned the map back to the Orleans.

Not only that, they had also clearly seen the efficiency of the Prussian in repairing the railways, and had promptly informed the local guerrillas to destroy the important departments.

As they flew, they even found the three new supply points in Prussian army. They saw horse feed, food, and ammunition that were similar to mountains.

This was important combat information, but in the sky there was nothing to hide!

Just when they thought that everything was under control, just as they were about to see the faint walls of Paris in the north, a dark figure suddenly approached them at high speed from the north.

"Look …" "What is that …" The Death teammate s among the hot air balloons shouted, some of them even took out their bugles and started blowing.

"Not good, it's a Chinese airship... "It's the airship that appeared during the Battle of Sedan …"

Finally, Bismark could no longer handle the harassment of the balloon soldiers anymore. He borrowed the commanding authority of Qi Bolin's dirigible and ordered the dirigible to patrol the skies of Paris everyday.

This should be the real air force of humans, because airships have their own power and they don't have to be affected by the wind. Most importantly, although the military equipment on the airship is an old-fashioned Gatling, the significance of its symbol is too important.

"A French hot air balloon formation was discovered in the south... Forward at Full Speed... Get ready to shoot down! "

Although Count Qi Bolin was from Baden, he also approved of the concept of the Great Germany. He was also a strong supporter of the unification of the Empire.

And now that the leader was not in Paris and he had been seconded by Bismark, he could do whatever he wanted now!

Qi Bolin's airship charged straight towards the formation of the hot air balloons, just like a ferocious bulldog charging towards a group of lambs.

The Gatling's gun started to spin, spitting out flames. The closest hot air balloon had more than ten holes pierced through it, hot air spewed out from the corner of its eye.

"Counterattack!" Counterattack! " Death teammate who was on the suspension chamber took out his rifle and pistol, and started to fire at Qi Bolin's airship. However, these small caliber bullets were unable to hit the armoured airship.

"Da Da Da …" "Da Da Da …" The Gatling began to shoot one after the other hot air balloons that were hit. The huge air sacs deflated as soon as they caught a glimpse of them.

Some bullets even hit the basket, causing the Death teammate's chest to be splattered with blood.

The intense battle in the air had already alarmed the people on the ground. The Prussian army's defense lines were noisy, they were jumping and cheering towards the airship, every hot air balloon that was hit could be exchanged with a loud roar from the soldiers.

Meanwhile, the southern defense line and walls of the Paris City were filled with nervous soldiers and spectators. Every time a balloon hit on their side, the crowd would be filled with nervous cries and people crying softly.

This sudden strangling battle had stirred the hearts of over a hundred thousand civilians and soldiers on the ground. The entire Paris City had already become chaotic.
