Chapter 324 Boliva’s decision

Style: Historical Author: Wang ZixuWords: 5015Update Time: 24/01/12 18:53:02
Boliva was shocked, annoyed and confused, but his spirit did not completely collapse. At this time, he immediately ordered:

“Arrange someone to go to the scene immediately to see the situation!

“The whole city and the whole army are in combat mode and ready to fight!

"I don't believe that Ming Dynasty can blow our entire city to the ground!"

As soon as Boliva finished speaking, there was a dull explosion in the distance.

At the same time, there were chaotic screams outside the conference room where he was.

"what happened……"

Boliva immediately stood up and ran quickly outside the conference room.

The guards and servants outside were looking at the distant hillside, which was the edge of the mesa outside the canyon of Boliva City.

At this moment, a fire dimly lit up somewhere.

"Da Ming is attacking the stronghold on the platform..."

Miranda and other officials and generals had also arrived at the door.

"Aren't they attacking the two military camps uphill? Why are they attacking these gun towers at the same time..."

"So during the month of Ming Dynasty's ceasefire, we just prepared the plane!"

"So how many planes did they get?"

"Who knows..."

Amidst the chaos, another communications soldier ran over:

"Your Majesty, the military camp at the entrance to the valley was attacked by air, and then communications were interrupted..."

Boliva's heart felt cold.

The communication was interrupted, indicating that the camp might be gone.

It may be that the military camp was directly destroyed by aircraft.

This shows that Ming Dynasty prepared an unusually large number of aircraft.

It's at least an order of magnitude worse than before.

Boliva's guess was quickly and directly verified.

There was an even denser roar of engines in the sky.

Boliva immediately turned to look in the direction of the source of the sound, and then he was obviously stunned.

A group of aircraft that he had never seen before appeared in the sky.

The aircraft that appeared on the battlefield in the past were single-engine small attack aircraft and fighter jets.

Their wingspan is usually less than ten meters and their length is usually only about eight meters

The big guys with four engines appearing in the sky now are more than thirty meters wide and more than twenty meters long.

The height of the nine-story building is about thirty meters.

Behind these big guys, there are several large groups of twin-engine aircraft with a wingspan of more than 20 meters.

Not only has the number of aircraft increased by an order of magnitude, but the size of a single aircraft has also doubled.

Boliva and others around him were stunned.

These planes were flying in the sky above the sky in a daze.

After finding the target, the bombs began to rain down.

Bombs instead of bullets can also feel like bullets are raining down.

Military camps, as well as various factories and warehouses in the city exploded one after another.

Soldiers in the military camp and workers in factories and warehouses immediately ran out frantically.

The surrounding residents seemed to wake up suddenly and ran frantically away from these facilities.

The sound of the explosion reached the ears of Bo Liwa and others, and everyone reacted quickly.

"what to do!"

"So many planes..."

"Such a huge plane!"

"Oh my God!"

"If they continue to blow up like this, the whole city will be destroyed!"

"What should we do, Your Majesty!"

Boliva also wanted to know what to do now.

Under normal historical conditions, when aircraft are capable of large-scale bombing, there must be a large number of anti-aircraft guns on the ground and some air-raid shelters.

So what should be done is to direct the anti-aircraft guns to drive away the enemy planes, and at the same time let the key people hide in the air-raid shelters.

But now, it took more than three years for Daming's aircraft to go through a process of more than ten years in history.

When the aviation industry was supposed to be just starting out, it was pushed to a near-mature level in small batches.

Organizations that have never dealt with actual large-scale bombing have no idea how to deal with this stuff.

There is no special weapon in hand, and there is no place to hide.

If you hide in an ordinary basement, you may be directly killed by the explosion.

In a situation of confusion and direction, fear can easily spread.

Boliva realized again what kind of monster he was fighting now.

The Ming Dynasty could stand alone against all the countries in Europe and the West.

Now as long as I deal with myself a little more seriously, I will have no chance of winning.

So why should they bargain with themselves?

Why did I have the confidence to issue an ultimatum to them in the first place?

In fact, what Boliva didn't know was that even the European and Western countries had never faced the current Ming Dynasty.

Even the regular armies of various countries in Europe and the West would be completely fooled by the hundreds of large and medium-sized bombers above Boliva.

So Boliva is very lucky...

The first round of attacks by large and medium-sized bombers directly destroyed all military, industrial, and warehouse facilities in Boliva City.

The remaining bombs were dumped on residential areas.

The city of Boliva was originally not large. Before it became the capital of Boliva, it had less than 60,000 residents.

After becoming the capital of the Boliva Kingdom, its scale began to expand rapidly, quickly exceeding 100,000 people.

More importantly, when the Boliva Kingdom was encircled and suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, as the control area continued to shrink, a large number of people gradually retreated into the valley where the city is located.

This directly more than tripled the population of Boliva City again.

Nearly half a million people now live in this canyon.

The population is expanding too rapidly, the kingdom's industrial capacity is too weak, and the speed of urban construction cannot keep up with the population growth.

Now, on both sides of the river in the middle of the valley, there are low, chaotic and simple houses everywhere.

It's like a shanty town or a slum.

The remaining ammunition from the large bombers was dropped on the edges of these simple houses, which immediately caused catastrophic consequences.

These crude buildings collapsed and overturned in pieces in the explosion shock wave, just like if they had suffered an earthquake.

Fortunately, due to the continuous bombing by planes, all the people in these buildings who could escape have escaped.

Then it turned into a surging crowd, "rolling" towards the center of the city.

In fact, the bombers do not have much ammunition left and cannot destroy all cities in one wave.

But the lethality of fear may be more powerful than direct weapons and ammunition.

Dozens of minutes later, groups of planes left one after another, but the city completely collapsed.

Order was not completely restored until noon.

The fear of death from the bombing had subsided, but the fear of survival afterward had intensified.

Originally, Boliva was forced to the end of the mountain, with only such a valley and two mesas left, and everyone's spirit was on the verge of collapse.

I just feel that it is difficult for the Ming people to invade in this kind of mountains, forests and valleys, so I can hold on for a while.

But I never expected that Ming Dynasty would still have such a style of play.

The bombings dropped from the sky, the bombings were so large that they were terrifying to death.

The key is that my city is in a canyon, and the entrance has been blocked by the Ming Dynasty. There is nowhere to run if you want to.

Originally, this was a favorable terrain that could prevent Ming from entering, but now it's the other way around.

The whole city was in complete chaos.

When the time came to noon, several wounded soldiers ran back to Boliva's castle.

He explained to Boliva what had happened to the military camps and gun towers on the platform:

“Your Majesty, it’s over, it’s all over now.

"In fact, not too many brothers were killed directly, but most of them... were burned alive...

“The Ming Dynasty dropped a terrifying incendiary bomb into the crowd, which splashed everywhere like grease.

"It catches fire when it sticks to you, and it won't go out until it burns out."

Boliva's whole body felt chilled when he heard this:

"Is everything you said true?"

The soldier howled and swore to God that he was definitely not lying.

Miranda looked at Boliva with a pale face:

“In the morning bombing, Ming Dynasty only destroyed military camps and factories, and used ordinary bombs to blow up residential areas.

"If later... the Ming Dynasty specially used those kind of bombs to bomb urban areas, I can't imagine the consequences...

"According to past practice and our experience, these aircraft can continue to operate for many days.

"I'm worried that Ming wants to burn us all to death in this valley..."

Boliva's self-confidence and pride have been completely shattered.

He has fully understood that without any restraint, Daming would be like an ant crushing him to death.

He is a rebel against the king, and there is no way he can go against the court of such a big country.

Now all that's left is the overwhelming annoyance.

After this emotion brewed and fermented, Boliva suddenly stood up:

"I went to surrender in front of the Ming army. I just hope that everyone can survive..."

Miranda was stunned for a moment, then stood up:

"I will go with you……"

The others hesitated a little after hearing this, and then several stood up.

Boliva immediately waved his hand and said:

"Don't mess around, I can go by myself..."

Then without waiting for anyone else to reply, Boliva ran out of the conference room.

He went to the stable and took his horse and galloped along the river in the canyon.

After leaving the city and running about ten kilometers, Boliva saw a completely destroyed outpost.

This is the corner of the canyon, so Boliva can set up a monitoring post here.

What frightened Boliva the most about this destroyed outpost was not the remaining flames and the black and gray buildings.

It was the fallen soldiers that could occasionally be seen around.

Most of the clothes on his body had been completely burned, and much of his skin and flesh had been completely burned.

Some may not be dead and occasionally move.

But Boliva knew that these people would not survive.

When I walked into the military camp, I saw the charred corpses one after another.

Boliva stayed here for a few minutes, then set out again in despair.

There was originally a larger military camp at the exit of the canyon, but Boliva couldn't imagine the scene there.

Fortunately and unfortunately, Boliva did not see the military camp.

Not long after running again, Boliva heard a gunshot, and a bullet hit dozens of meters in front of him.

"This is a threat, otherwise I would be dead..."

Boliva immediately reined in the reins and stopped as quickly as possible.

He rolled off the horse, knelt down on the ground next to him, and raised his hands high.

Soon after, several soldiers wearing Ming Dynasty costumes ran over on bicycles.

After getting off the car a few meters in front of Boliva, two soldiers aimed their guns at Boliva.

The other two quickly ran over and grabbed Boliva's hands, pulling them directly behind him and tying them up.

A captain directly asked loudly in Daming Yayan:

"Who are you! Are you from Boliva City?"

Boliva immediately replied:

"I am Boliva. I surrender to the Ming Dynasty now. I just hope that the Ming Dynasty will not kill everyone who founded it..."

The soldiers here were obviously surprised:

"Are you Boliva? How can I trust you?"

Boliva immediately said:

"An officer from Ming Dynasty came to meet with me. Meeting him can confirm my identity!"

These soldiers were the scouts at the front of the large army. After listening to Boliva's words, they arranged for one person to push Boliva to the rear while the others continued to move around.

The military camps at the entrance of the canyon and the military camps on the terraces on both sides of the canyon have all been destroyed by aircraft.

Of course, the ground troops of the bandit suppression force can't just watch.

Now we have begun to gradually move forward.

While climbing up to the platform and fortifying the surroundings, let the main force in the canyon advance.

Boliva soon encountered the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

Then you know your decision is the right one.

Given the current situation in the city, if Ming's plane comes one more time, it will completely collapse.

When Ming's troops entered, it was a one-sided massacre.

No one can stop them from moving forward now.

Boliva's and Ming's troops passed by each other and were taken to the rear headquarters.

I saw Zhu Xuexian whom I had met again.

(It turned out to be Zhu Xuejian, but the seniority calculation was wrong. The student of the Jinwang family should be the earth family, the same generation as the protagonist. It used to be written with gold characters next to it, but now it is changed to Zhu Xuejian.)

This time Boliva didn’t hesitate at all, and immediately fell in love with him when they met:

"I, Boliva, am willing to surrender without mercy. I only hope that the Ming Dynasty will let my people live..."

Zhu Xueqian looked at Boliva in surprise:

"Bolivar, why is this happening?"

Boliva didn't talk nonsense, he simply gave in completely and completely:

"Fighting against Ming's soldiers was the biggest mistake of my life, and rejecting Ming's kindness was my biggest mistake.

“Now I just hope that Ming can stop the bombing, and I can make the remaining people completely surrender to Ming.

“I don’t ask for anything other than to keep them alive.

"I can accept being shot, I can accept being hanged, and I will let Ming do whatever I want."

Zhu Xueqian shook his head in disgust:

"You Westerners have always been like this, fearing power but not being moral.

"We don't mean anything, so you think we can't do anything to you?

"You rejected our Ming Dynasty's goodwill twice. You should have killed all of you, leaving no one alive.

“We have even made preparations to completely raze your lair to the ground.

“With the last trace of kindness in my heart, I am willing to survive for your people.

"I can try again...beg for a favor from our Highness for you."

Boliva breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you, General..."

Zhu Xueqian wrote a note and asked the telegraph operator to send it to Xintianfu and send it directly to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan had just received the news that the first wave of bombing had been completed.

Now I immediately received the news that Boliva had entered the camp alone and surrendered.

After a brief stunned silence, Zhu Jingyuan shook his head helplessly and said:

"This is probably the power of deterrence. If the power is not shown, some people will always have illusions...

“Although Bolivar is no longer the historical Bolivar, he still has a little conscience.

"You are not a completely selfish ruler, and you do not let all the people act as human shields for you to resist until the end.

"After all, he is a historical figure with positive reviews. I will give you the last bit of dignity now."

Zhu Jingyuan made a decision quickly and wrote a telegram to Zhu Xuecheng:

Let’s leave the strategic bombing test as it is for the time being. Let’s find another opportunity to test it again.

Have the troops follow Boliva in to accept Medellin.

Afterwards, Boliva himself was sent to the Dongyi Kingdom, but he was not allowed to bring any property with him. He just left home and became a farmer.

Everyone else was sent to Panama to open the canal.
