Chapter 1124： Dilemma (2/2)
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.
