What's in the sky? This is a very profound and philosophical question!
In the eyes of the ancients, there are sun, moon and stars in the sky, there are wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there are clouds and mist, and there are gods! But there shouldn’t be anyone, there absolutely can’t be anyone!
But everything that happened in the past few days completely shattered these people's old ideas. It turns out that not only do these things exist in the sky, but there are also people!
Zeppelin, Fuhrer! He made meritorious service in the Franco-Prussian War. Although he did not gain much, he gave the enemy a great deterrent!
This meritorious airship was disassembled and returned to China with the head of state's fleet!
Of course, not all the parts were brought back, as that would be a waste of space. The technicians just folded the airbag and packed up important parts such as the propeller and small internal combustion engine and took them back home!
As for the wood-clad iron pods, there is no technical content at all. Chinese carpenters and blacksmiths can produce them themselves, and the quality is no worse than the Prussian ones!
After the pod parts returned to Ryukyu, after more than four months of reassembly and construction, a brand new Zeppelin finally appeared in front of the world again!
During this special operations operation, the Zeppelin had been patrolling at high altitudes in the east of the capital. In order to prevent the Qing troops on the ground from discovering it, the Zeppelin had been hiding in the clouds at an altitude of five thousand meters.
At that time, ordinary people knew nothing about the sky. To people on the ground, a Zeppelin at an altitude of five thousand meters was just a black spot the size of a fly. No one could see it hidden in the middle of the night!
This is the difference between a rigid airship and a hot air balloon. Ordinary hot air balloons simply cannot cruise at such high altitudes for a long time. Only a Zeppelin airship with its own power can complete the task!
A level 4 wind on the ground would become a level 8 wind in the sky. Most of the Zeppelin's fuel was consumed fighting the wind, which froze the airship soldiers into popsicles that night!
Pierre was wrapped in a double-layered leather jacket, and his nose was still cold and runny. "Descent, speed up the descent, we are already late, this damn high-altitude turbulence!"
"The Northern Bureau has been reminding us that the evil nature of the capital's ground might cause trouble. This sudden strong wind really adds to the chaos!"
Not to mention, Pierre has also learned to speak fluent Beijing movies over the years. Although the four tones are a bit different, he can speak it very fluently!
There are a total of twenty operators of the airship. They are still working hard to operate the airship with their teeth chattering from the cold. The heat in the airbags is constantly leaking out. The pressure is getting lower and lower, and the height of the airship is getting lower and lower!
"At our feet is the imperial capital of the Qing Dynasty, which is the Forty-Nine City! Our comrades are fighting hard, and it's time for us to support them!"
"Damn it, look, they are setting fire to attack our comrades..."
"Prepare for combat, carry out air strikes... Let them see what the gap between the times is and what the crushing power of technology is!"
"Tell Goddess Cai Bixia that after this battle, the price of airships will increase by 39%..."
From a high position, Pierre could overlook the entire chessboard-like imperial capital, and the faint firelight outlined the outline of the entire city's buildings!
In this chessboard-like painting, the Forbidden City and the southeast corner of the inner city are the brightest, especially the Maojiawan area that has been filled with burning flames and the light of torches that gather like a river of fire!
The place where all the heat waves gathered the most was the three warehouses. There were hundreds of howling cavalry surrounding the warehouses, throwing torches inside!
At this moment, a warehouse in the west suddenly roared, and the burned roof suddenly fell into the fire scene, and the flying sparks even flew to the armor of the airship!
"Fuck! These bastards are so vicious...Open fire! Support our comrades with firepower..."
The pod of the Fuhrer is completely different from what it was in France. The pod looks like the bottom of a battleship, but the wooden shell is covered with a layer of bulletproof iron armor!
On the left and right wings of the pod, there is a steel frame platform connected by rivets and screws, and a Gatling heavy machine gun is fixed on each steel frame!
The shooting stand of the machine gun is specially designed to support condescending downward shooting. The main gunner sits in the middle, and there are cooperating people on the left and right. One shakes the crank, and the other is responsible for loading the ammunition chain!
A team of three people could perfectly operate a Gatling machine, and the airship's cargo hold brought out a full 50,000 to 60,000 rounds of bullets, which was enough for the two fire dragons to spit out flames!
"Extended shot...fire!"
One hundred and ten meters away from the ground, Gatlin suddenly opened fire, and suddenly two bright fire dragons fell from the sky in the night sky and pounced directly on the ground!
Those cavalrymen didn't know what was happening, but they were beaten to death by the sudden rain of bullets!
Heavy machine guns and artillery are the terminators of cavalry. The cavalry has a huge target and you don’t need to aim at all. You can just shoot in that direction to cover it!
Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta...
There were crisp gunshots in succession, and brass bullet casings fell down like rain, hitting the roofs of private houses and beating continuously!
"Hahaha... here you go! Pierre, you big nose is finally here!"
"You will be deducted for being late! Your salary will be deducted!"
Ye Qiu and the others waved their military caps desperately at the isolation zone, laughing wildly with excitement, "Lower the height, keep descending... aim more accurately!"
"It's over!" After Prince Gong Yixin saw the airship shooting, his chest suddenly hurt and his vision went dark. He swayed and fell down.
The soldiers next to him were so frightened that they quickly hugged the prince. Yi Xuan, who was beside him, had temporarily lost his ability to think. "Is this... is this an airship? It is said that they want to sell me the airship army of the Qing Dynasty..."
In the middle of the night, a huge airship slowly pressed down like some magic weapon from an immortal. Two fire dragons raining bullets harvested lives from the crowd. Each shot could cut off layers of flesh and blood!
"How are we going to deal with this? How are we going to deal with this? Oh my God, how are we going to deal with this thing...any of you, say something!"
Prince Chun also collapsed and roared loudly in the dark night!
The moment the airship appeared, Yang Zhi in Baoyuan Bureau was like a cat that had stepped on its tail. He jumped off the house and ran away on horseback without even farting!
All the way to the north, and then north again, he ran straight towards the Fifth Master's Mansion. His escape was so fast that even the guards behind him couldn't catch up!
Yang Zhi didn't even dare to look back along the way. The gunfire seemed to be specially coming to harvest his life, chasing him like an evil ghost!
He ran all the way to the Fifth Master's Mansion at Chaoyang Gate. The guard in front of the door saw that it was Yang Zhi and hurriedly opened the door: "Your Majesty, please help me... Your Majesty, please help me... Please help me see if there are any pursuers in the sky behind me. Please save me." ah……"
Yang Zhi was so scared that he didn't even have the courage to look back at the sky!
The fifth master, Yi Pei, looked extremely ugly and kept mumbling to himself, "It's too serious... Xiao Letian made it too serious, wasn't it? Is this a slap on the sixth child? Is this still a threat? Isn't this a declaration of war? Really? Why are you so cruel! You are so cruel!"
It’s impossible not to be ruthless. If you don’t act ruthlessly, these people who are turning back the wheel of history will not wake up!
The Führer has already reached a distance of twenty meters from the ground, which is only five or six stories high. At this distance, the lethality and accuracy of the heavy machine gun have been greatly improved!
"Fire...keep firing...shoot...enjoy it, it's our job to hit them, but they can't fight back!"
"Hahaha... keep pressing down... place the ladder six meters away!"
