Chapter 1124: Dilemma

In the evening, the results of the daytime bombing had been compiled into documents and sent to the Vienna Palace.
Of course, due to the conditions on the battlefield, it is impossible to accurately count the enemy's losses. This report will definitely differ from the actual situation.
The error is only a small problem, the key is that the air raid was successful. Looking at the battle report in his hand, Franz very suspected that the senior British military were all Shinra spies.
Air defense is a joke. This is no longer a problem of loopholes, but rather like deliberately opening the door to let the Shenra Air Force enter.
London is a little better, although air strikes were not detected in advance, the anti-aircraft firepower still exists. If it weren't for too much fog, chances are he could really get a lot of results.
It was embarrassing in other places. The Shenluo Air Force made an air raid on Liverpool. There were so many towns and cities that it passed along the way, and it was impossible to see where the air defense artillery was.
Of course, it is also possible that the defenders below are timid, afraid of angering the enemy and burning themselves, so they simply pretend not to see it.
It's fine if you don't open fire. Anyway, I send an emergency telegram to my colleagues to remind everyone to be prepared.
There is no guarantee, at least the Royal Navy can go to sea in advance. As long as the large fleet is not assembled, there is no need for overhead threats.
There is no problem with drawing aircraft from all over the country to participate in the war. Anyway, Britain is only a small place and is fighting on the mainland, so there is no need to consider the issue of returning.
However, after participating in the war and returning to the war, no matter how you say, you have to wait for the main force to complete the assembly before entering the battlefield!
Blindly in a hurry, the one who arrives on the battlefield first joins the war, this is really not what ordinary people can think of.
Since it was a head-off tactic, the results were naturally amazing. If it hadn't taken advantage of the rotation of the Shenluo Air Force to passively complete the assembly, I am afraid that the British Air Force would have been defeated.
Although it has not been defeated now, it is necessary to suffer heavy losses. The number of enemy planes shot down is as high as 376, and the number of injured is countless.
The air combat achieved a brilliant victory, and the bombing also achieved good results. The port of Liverpool, the British military center, was severely beaten, leaving the sunken warship aside, the key is the destruction of the shipyard.
The dock can be rebuilt, the equipment can be repurchased, but the loss of engineers and skilled workers is permanent.
The average life expectancy of this year is less than 50, and there is no retirement at all. Naturally, rehiring does not exist.
Of course, the British have a big business and a talent pool. It's a big deal to dig people from other small yards, but warship building and merchant shipbuilding are different, and the running-in period is definitely indispensable.
It takes time to repair the shipyard, and time to train the skilled workers. It takes no one or two years to add all together, so don't even think about it.
It's not that it can't be fast. If competitors are willing to help, the progress can still be improved. Only this possibility is about as high as the probability of human beings entering the Datong society.
Of course, today’s bombing is not safe, and it is best for the Air Force to continue patronizing for a few days to consolidate the hard-won results.
In contrast, the bombing of London is very Buddhist. There is no strategic goal, the feeling of fighting bombers.
The thick fog covered the sky and the ground, and it was impossible to see the ground clearly. The statistics of the results can only be done by the British government.
Compared with the brilliant results, Franz is more satisfied with the loss. During the day's operations, the Shenluo Air Force paid a total of 27 fighter planes falling and 79 fighter planes damaged to varying degrees.
Among the crashed fighters, except for the 3 bombers, the rest were fighters, and 5 of them were the lunch boxes on the way back.
This exchange ratio can be said to be a miracle in military history. The only regret is that miracles are not common. After such a big loss, the British will definitely learn their lesson and cannot expect the enemy to be stupid all the time.
"The Air Force's performance is good, and we will continue to work hard. However, the bombing battlefield needs to be expanded. All cities within the air force's coverage are the targets of bombing.
The bombing of London was changed to a feint, taking advantage of the fact that the British did not recover, as much as possible to trap the effective forces of the British Air Force and cover the bombing of other areas. "
I have to admit that London is a good place. Although the ground target cannot be locked due to the smog, the enemy's ground air defense firepower is also abolished by the smog.
This means that the Shenluo Air Force on the Labor Division's expedition can fight fairly with the British Air Force on the mainland.
If you don't take advantage of the current opportunity to kill the British Air Force as much as possible, once the winter is over, this good day will be over.
To put it bluntly, he is still taking advantage of the British arrogance. The people cannot tolerate the Shenluo Air Force running wild on their heads, but the government does not act.
As long as the British Air Force is disabled, the next battle will be easier. The German three empires all dared to play the "Sea Lion Project", and the more superior Shinra could also follow suit.
In the original time and space, the British Air Force was able to attack weakly, but it does not mean that it can also be used now. You know, these American aunts are still playing in the mud and do not have the ability to transfusion at all.
Now that the main force of the British Air Force has been attracted to London, bombing other areas is simple. Although London is the core of the British Isles and other regions are scraps, Franz doesn't dislike it at all.
If it were not for the Air Force’s inability to cover the entire British Isles, Franz would definitely order the bombs to be dropped in every city.
Do not seek to kill the enemy, only to scare people.
As long as the people in Britain are upset, the next battle will be easy. Now the air force cannot cover the entire British Isles, but it is not a problem to cover half of the cities.
As long as you secretly guide, so many citizens of the city have rioted together and asked the London government to organize air defenses, then it will be fun to see.
Air Secretary Conrad said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in continuing to bomb the British Isles, but if you want to trap the main British Air Force, it may be difficult.
In the daytime battle, we have already hit the British Air Force hard. According to the information collected on the front lines and the previous intelligence comparison, the British Air Force has lost a quarter of its fighters, and perhaps less than half of its fighters will be able to continue on the battlefield tomorrow.
Having suffered such a big loss today, the British will certainly learn from experience and lessons, and they will not make the same mistake a second time.
If the British studied carefully, they would find that our bombing had little impact on London, on the contrary, the damage caused by air combat was even greater.
After calming down, I am afraid that the British Air Force will directly admit counsel. Even if the people exert pressure, they will only engage in symbolic resistance.
Then, calm down and slowly accumulate strength, waiting for the opportunity. "
No matter how good the plan is, the enemy must be willing to cooperate. Fighting too hard during the day directly hurt the British Air Force.
If the British Air Force does not learn from the lesson and continue to choose to go head-to-head with the Shenluo Air Force, I am afraid it will not be long before even the establishment will be defeated.
After a little thought, Franz said coldly: "Then find a way to continue to stimulate them. The pride of the British cannot be exhausted in one failure.
It really didn't work, so I threw leaflets to the British Isles and let the British people make decisions for them.
No matter how you fight, in the next month, at least 20,000 tons of bombs will be thrown on the heads of the British. "
If you don’t work hard, bombs have a shelf life. The Vienna government has been preparing for this war for too long, and the stockpile of ammunition has increased a little.
If it were not for the Russians to be the receivers, and the international market could be dumped, I am afraid that the expiration of light weapons and ammunition would be a big problem.
There is no way, the plan does not change fast. The original plan of the Vienna government was prepared in the worst case scenario: the British wooed France, Russia and other countries to besiege Shinra.
Diplomacy is indeed powerful, but they are humans and not gods, and they cannot reverse the overall situation either.
In the efforts of the Vienna government, not only did the worst situation not happen, but the situation went to the other extreme.
Enemies that were originally prepared for are now allies. So the ammunition reserved for the French and Russians before, now it can only be borne by the British family.
As for the Ocean Alliance fought by the British, Franz said he couldn't see it. Anyway, I can't reach it now, and trying to find the bad luck of these guys is also a post-war thing.
...
London, it was another sleepless night. The bombing during the day refreshed the cognition of many people and deeply touched everyone's nerves.
"It turns out that the Royal Navy is not omnipotent, nor is London safe!"
Immediately there was endless anger. The enemy threw bombs on their heads, and the government did not see any action. It was obviously malfeasance and incompetence.
Fortunately, the fog was big enough that ordinary people didn't see the air battle during the day, otherwise everyone's anger at the moment would have been even higher.
Once bitten, twice shy.
The excitement during the day is so great that the British cabinet government is still working in the air-raid shelter at this moment. If it is not that the place is not big enough, it is estimated that everyone has brought in with their families.
Since it can't be brought in, it can only be sent out. London is very lively at the moment, and the night cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm for moving.
From the princes and nobles to the ordinary people, as long as conditions permit, they are now running to the countryside.
It is no longer suitable for living without an office. The smog was enough for everyone to bear, but now there are still bombs falling in the sky.
Don't worry about air defense, the power of a plane falling is much greater than the power of an enemy bomb. No one can stand the dumplings.
I have never experienced bombing, and the air defense facilities are infinitely equal to zero. Even the air-raid shelters used by the cabinet government are just the basement.
For the sake of life, everyone unanimously decided to run away. Regardless of how rampant the enemy’s planes are, it’s impossible to bomb the countryside. That’s not enough fuel.
Those who are forced to stay are also panic. I just hate that my wealth is not enough, I have to stay and make a living.
Everyone can run away, but government officials cannot. If they also leave, I am afraid that the order in London will soon be completely out of control.
Looking at the summary of the battle report, Campbell almost fainted. This is no longer a problem of heavy losses, but involves the outcome of the war.
Having personally witnessed the power of the Air Force, Campbell's confidence in the Royal Navy was also shaken.
The English Channel is just a bit of a road. Once the air superiority is lost, no one can guarantee that the enemy will not force a landing.
The strength of the Shinra Navy is not weak, and there are also European navies. If coupled with the cooperation of the air force, can the Royal Navy really stand it?
At least the Royal Navy stationed in Liverpool told him with practical actions that he was powerless to face the enemy in the sky.
After forcing himself to calm down, Campbell asked cautiously: "If it is prepared in advance, is the Air Force capable of defending the British Isles?"
As if being tortured by the soul, Attilio, as the minister of the air force, hesitated for a while and was speechless.
If it were before today, he would definitely pack a ticket and say "Yes"; but the facts are in front of him, and if he says "Yes" at this point now, then he doesn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, Attilio slowly said: "Difficult! The battle during the day proved the strength gap between the two sides. Our boys are very brave, but the performance gap between the fighters is too great.
Everyone in the battle report also saw that in just one day of confrontation, more than a quarter of our fighters fell, and nearly half of them needed to be overhauled.
At this point, the Air Force has essentially broken its muscles and needs to rest and reorganize, and it is not suitable for fighting the enemy in the short term.
If you prepare in advance, I can only say that the battle will not be so one-sided. To defeat the enemy, we also need more and more advanced fighters. "
This answer did not surprise everyone, but the result was still very frustrating.
The fact is in front of us, this is an unequal battle. The failure of the Air Force is not only the failure of fighter jets, but neither tactical use nor battlefield response is qualified.
The only advantage is probably brave enough that no one runs away. Of course, this can't be considered brave, because all those who fled have seen God.
It is such a tragedy that the performance of the aircraft cannot keep up. Even if you want to escape, you can't escape the enemy.
Participating in the battle is still a ray of life, turning around and running is to leave the back to the enemy, let the enemy shoot.
Even in the later stages, the British fighters had an advantage in number, and still did not change the passive situation.
The main reason is that the cooperation between the fighters is not in place, and there are obviously more numbers, but the performance on the battlefield is at a loss.
If you don't solve these problems, if you want to come back, you are simply dreaming. But the reality is that it is easy to find problems, but difficult to solve them.
Whether it is fighter performance or tactical accumulation, it takes time to pile up, and it can't be made up overnight.
Prime Minister Campbell: "The government can try its best to find a solution to the problem of aircraft. Domestic factories are really working overtime to catch up. Other problems must be solved by the military itself.
Rest..."
The words suddenly got stuck in the mouth. There is no way, and Prime Minister Campbell has no bottom in his heart and dare not make any promises.
The atmosphere in the room is repressed again, and no one is optimistic about the current situation. No one thought that an air battle would put Britain in an awkward situation.
