Xiao Letian stood on the city wall and looked at the French army approaching step by step with a rare cruel smile on his face. "Yes, this army must be completely wiped out. Do you know why?"
"I, Xiao Letian, am not a cruel person who likes to kill, and our Chinese army is not a group of bloodthirsty lunatics. We have never issued an order to massacre the city. We will not harm innocent people. We only care for the people and do not kill them!"
"Even if we face the enemy, as long as they are willing to surrender, we will give preferential treatment to the prisoners!"
"But only the troops in front of us can't do it. We must not let them go... Of course they will not surrender!"
"Since you refuse to surrender, let's annihilate them all! These people are the foundation of France's strong army! If we annihilate them, France will never have a chance to stand up..."
"Tell me! How long has the war been going on now!"
Xiao Letian roared, and Pierre beside him took out his pocket watch and shouted loudly, "Report to the head of state, one hour and twenty-four minutes have passed!"
"Fuck! It's been taking so long, why haven't you come yet! If you don't come, I will withdraw your investment..."
No one knows what Xiao Letian is talking about. Why can't they understand everything he said today? What does it mean that France will never recover? Could it be that there is a big shot hidden in this army?
Why is there still a matter of disinvestment? Why is it still connected with money when we are fighting a war?
When everyone was filled with excitement, suddenly a steady voice came from the watchtower overhead. The Dragon Guard who stayed above to observe the battlefield finally came with good news.
"Here they come! The reinforcements from the north have arrived! They will arrive on the battlefield in ten minutes according to visual inspection..."
"Hahaha... It's finally here. It's not like I invested hundreds of thousands of pounds in vain! Hahaha..."
What exactly is there in the north? No one knew. People stood on their feet and looked towards the north, but there was nothing but darkness, and there were faint stars reflected by the flood.
"No! Nothing! What will happen in ten minutes? A naval battleship?"
"Look... look at the top of your head!"
Finally, someone with sharp eyes discovered something strange. It turned out that in the northern sky, a large dark cloud was slowly approaching Syuni, pressing down steadily!
More than 20 meters above the ground, there was indeed a big dark cloud approaching Syuni!
Among the dark clouds, a tall Prussian man was approaching Sunny against the wind!
"Fuhrer, I'm here! My Excellency, Ferdinand von Zeppelin...is here!"
"I brought you the aerial battle fortress you asked for! This is your airship, this is your Fuhrer airship!"
"Now I can prove to the world that I am not a liar, and I am not a lunatic... I spent more than 200,000 pounds on you, but what I give you back is the dream of human beings flying in the sky!"
"The Zeppelin... the Fuhrer... is joining the battle order!"
Zeppelin is here, driving his airship, which is a huge cigar-shaped airship made of various composite materials such as canvas, asphalt, rubber, silk, coir, etc.
The airbag part of this airship is 303 meters long and has a maximum diameter of 35 meters. There are three small kerosene-burning boilers on the huge pod, which can quickly fill the airbag with hot air.
Xiao Letian doesn't expect high-end cargo that stores hydrogen and helium at this time. This Zeppelin still uses the most primitive thermal aerodynamic method.
For this kind of airship to be filled with hot air and put into flight, it needs at least more than twenty minutes of burning time. This is the main reason why Xiao Letian asked the army to hold on for half an hour.
Of course, he forgot that the airship was flying very slowly at this time, and it would take at least more than half an hour to fly from the north bank of the Semuwa River to Syni.
Three kerosene-burning boilers also drive a small steam turbine unit, and three air propellers can push the Zeppelin forward slowly.
Xiao Letian does have a prototype of an internal combustion engine, but that thing is too big and heavy to be installed at all. I am afraid that it will only be possible to form a real air force after German engineers miniaturize it.
This Zeppelin airship, under the command of Count Zeppelin and controlled by twelve airship workers, began to approach Syny at the slowest speed.
After more than an hour, they finally saw the flooded city of Syni!
All the gloom on Xiao Letian's face was swept away. "Remember? I once invested in a German inventor, Count Zeppelin. His ideal was to let humans fly into the sky, and even bring war to the sky!"
"The world thinks he is crazy, but I am a lunatic just like him, so I will invest in him!"
"Now! The harvest season is here, let these French cavalry become the first army in the world to collapse under the attack of the air force!"
Sima Yun looked at the dark clouds getting closer and closer in the north. He had already seen the lights in the pod. The airbag, which was more than 300 meters long, was pressing down at a height of more than 20 meters above the ground. This momentum was simply shocking!
"What is this? Why do Chinese people stare at a dark cloud? God, it's just an ordinary dark cloud, right..."
Alfred is going crazy, today is his Good Friday, and the whole battle is like a science fiction novel by Verne.
The big flood came, and then the dark clouds came. The key is that there are lights flashing inside the dark clouds!
The French army no longer had the arrogance it had just had. The crazy morale was suddenly suppressed by visitors from outside. All four thousand French troops were dumbfounded!
"Hahaha... Originally I was going to use this airship on top of the French Emperor's head, so I kept it with me secretly... and took over this group of French cavalry!"
"That's fine, that's fine! Killing this unit can be regarded as a blow to our air force!"
"Give Zeppelin an order to replenish ammunition immediately... and enter the battle immediately!"
Getting closer, people could already hear the excited shouts of the airship workers overhead, and the hum of the propellers turning in the air.
Immediately afterwards, rope nets and ammunition boxes began to be hoisted down one by one!
The more than 300-meter-long Zeppelin airship was slowly approaching Suni like a mountain. At this time, all the soldiers had to look up at the airship. The aura of Mount Tai made everyone speechless!
"What are you doing standing still? Ammunition... Our ammunition is here..." Wang Chen, whose chest was wrapped in gauze, screamed and rushed forward!
"Gatling ammo...we have ammunition for our machine guns...hooray!"
There was a sudden burst of cheers on the city wall, and the rope net fell on the city wall. Box after box of Gatling bullets were picked up by the soldiers and ran away. In less than three minutes, the remaining four Gatling machines that could still be driven had already been fired. Ready for battle.
"Aim at the enemy ships... Gatling fire... Kill these turtles!"
