The Atlantic Fleet where Guan Tianpei was located released a fleet of mainly attack aircraft and destroyed the Roman Combined Fleet.
At the same time, the entire fleet sailed towards the English Channel, organized a new round of aircraft groups mainly composed of fighter jets, and began to participate in the air battle in the English Channel.
The three Roman air forces have advantages in the number of aircraft and pilot experience, and now they also have considerable advantages on the battlefield.
Now the combat area has been reduced to the coastline, and bombers have repeatedly broken through the defense line to bomb inland cities.
It was only a matter of time before the three Roman air forces drove the British air force inland and seized coastal air supremacy.
But after Ming Dynasty's carrier-based aircraft entered the war, the situation quickly reversed.
In most historical periods, the performance of aircraft carrier-based aircraft was weaker than that of land-based aircraft.
However, when the level of science and technology has improved for an era, even using the sea to control the land can create a crushing situation.
The key is that Ming's carrier-based aircraft have no disadvantage in terms of quantity.
The total number of aircraft in the British and Roman air forces certainly exceeds the carrier-based aircraft that the Ming Dynasty fleet can release.
But not all aircraft can immediately participate in combat on the same day.
Whether it is the total number of pilots, the military's logistics supply capabilities, and most importantly, the formation command capabilities, they will limit the number of aircraft participating in the battle at the same time.
The number of air forces that entered the battle on the same day rarely exceeded a thousand.
The largest air battle in the history of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life was the Battle of Britain in the early days of World War II. The maximum number of German aircraft dispatched in a single day was 1,600.
Only the two most intense days of the entire campaign reached this scale.
The number of aircraft in a single battle is smaller.
Now, Ming Dynasty's Atlantic Fleet has twenty-four large, medium and small aircraft carriers, carrying a total of more than a thousand fighter jets of various types.
When the only enemies faced are piston propeller aircraft, Ming's light jet attack aircraft can even be used as fighter jets.
At this time, the aircraft carrier's command and dispatch is aimed at releasing as many carrier-based aircraft as possible at the same time.
Therefore, the Atlantic Fleet has more than a thousand aircraft capable of participating in air combat.
The process of Ming Dynasty's carrier-based fighter jets entering the English Channel to participate in the war can almost be described as devastating.
The number of aircraft on both sides of the war was close, and one of them had absolute performance suppression, and the absolute performance suppression was suddenly displayed.
The air forces of the three Roman countries on the English Channel did not have any effective psychological preparation for this.
Soon, like the air force in the Volga-Urals region, the ones that started to form an organic form were shot down and eliminated by the Ming Dynasty's carrier-based aircraft.
In the battle of traditional propeller aircraft, the actual number of shootdowns and crashes is not an exaggeration compared to the total number of aircraft.
During the entire Battle of Britain, neither Germany nor Britain lost more than 2,000 aircraft.
The largest number of aircraft shot down in a single battle is usually in the dozens.
Nowadays, the carrier-based aircraft of a Ming Dynasty aircraft carrier can achieve triple-digit kills in a battle.
Therefore, the rate of loss of aircraft of the Roman Three Kingdoms Air Force can be said to be very terrifying.
In a few hours of fighting from afternoon to evening, thousands of aircraft were shot down, more than half of the entire Britain.
But the more horrific loss was the pilot.
Thousands of pilots were lost in one day, and the air force prepared by the Roman Three Kingdoms for the British battlefield could be said to be completely useless.
Even if the aircraft factory and backup aircraft are still there, the Roman Three Kingdoms will not be able to launch another attack in the short term.
The number of civil aircraft among the three Roman peoples was not large, and the entire western continent was an order of magnitude lower than that of the Ming Dynasty.
The pilot training system of the Ming Dynasty was specially guided and paved by Zhu Jingyuan, and it was paid attention to and promoted by the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the pilot training system of the European and American countries cannot be said to be crude, but it can only be regarded as a matter of fact.
In addition to financial reasons, the cost of the aircraft itself in the Thai and Western countries, the cost of fuel and maintenance, etc.
The mature pilots of the Thai and Western countries are an order of magnitude behind the Ming Dynasty, and the reserve pilots who can be quickly trained are also an order of magnitude behind.
Just like Japan in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, the quality of pilots in the early days of World War II was not low.
But it ran out quickly and couldn’t be replenished.
Ming's seven hydrogen bombs and continuous air battles on the eastern and southern fronts, plus air battles in Britain and naval battles in the North Atlantic.
In just over a day after joining the war, most of the existing pilots in the Three Kingdoms of Rome were killed.
Unless the Ming Dynasty immediately stops attacking and gives the Roman Three Kingdoms three years to prepare.
Otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty's air force returned to use propeller aircraft, the air forces of the three Roman kingdoms would no longer be able to resist.
The Battle of Britain in this world lasted for almost two days and was basically over.
The bombing of Britain was essentially over.
On the other side, the Europa Fleet led by Nelson separated from the Atlantic Fleet and went to the so-called North Atlantic Naval Battle Battlefield.
Nelson led the members of the fleet and ran back and forth in a large circle among the ruins of sinking battleships everywhere.
After the sun rose the next day, the destroyers were arranged to run two laps on the battlefield.
By the dusk of February 4, the fourth year of the Grand Duke's reign, there were almost no floating wreckage of warships on the battlefield.
Nelson looked at the statistical reports compiled by his men, and found that a total of more than 20,000 sailors from Germany, Lucia, Italy and other countries were recruited.
Nelson remembered that his opponent's fleet had a total of almost a hundred warships.
Among them were twelve aircraft carriers, twenty-four battleships, plus dozens of cruisers and destroyers.
The total number of officers and soldiers on board should be at least one hundred thousand.
If enough replacement anti-aircraft batteries and damage management teams were arranged, the number could exceed 120,000.
And now I have only recovered more than 20,000 people...
The Navy... is now second only to the Air Force, and is considered an aristocratic soldier in the army.
Officers are either college students or from professional military schools, and there may be many college students among the soldiers.
Among them, the naval aviation force is a specially trained talent.
There are indeed a large number of children of traditional nobles and a large number of children of the emerging wealthy class.
In Nelson's view, the impact of this battle on the naval equipment of the Roman Three Kingdoms was certainly huge and devastating.
The blow to the naval talents of the Three Kingdoms of Rome was equally devastating.
At this time, Nelson did not know that the Ming Dynasty had killed three million soldiers with seven rounds of poached eggs on the eastern and southeastern fronts.
Among them there are also a large number of noble children, college students, and elite children...
Not to mention Zhu Jingyuan's current world, even in most wars in his previous life, the losses of officers were far less than those of soldiers.
Even if one side participating in the war is defeated miserably, there will usually be a very large proportion of prisoners of war.
Among prisoners of war, officers were also more likely to survive.
Especially in this world where traditional monarchs and nobles are everywhere, and there are still a lot of feudal traditions left in the army.
This kind of direct elimination of officers and ordinary soldiers without distinction has never happened in the history of the two worlds.
Because atomic energy weapons have not been used on a large scale in actual combat.
This is also the horror of atomic weapons.
There is no dignity or dignity under a nuclear explosion.
On the morning of February 6, the fourth year of the Archduke's reign, the Europa fleet led by Nelson returned to the Portsmouth naval port.
The fighting around Britain essentially ceased.
Air supremacy and sea supremacy are both under the control of the Ming Dynasty's Atlantic Fleet, and the navies and air forces of the Roman Three Kingdoms on the opposite side are temporarily unable to continue the attack.
Nelson asked his deputies to resettle the damaged ships, send the recovered prisoners to the prepared prisoner camps, and replenish fuel and supplies for the warships in the fleet.
Nelson himself went to see Guan Tianpei and accompanied Zhu Zhaoxun and Guan Tianpei to London.
Let’s meet with the British King of the Ming Dynasty and the new King of the United Kingdom, Zhu Yu, and his mother, Charlotte, the Regent of the United Kingdom and Queen of the United States.
Zhu Zhaoxun and Guan Tianpei saluted Charlotte and Zhudi Yu in accordance with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and conveyed the greetings of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
Then we started discussing the next battle plan directly.
Charlotte asked Guan Tianpei directly:
"Two generals, should we start preparing a plan to land in France now?"
Guan Tianpei and Zhu Zhaoxun looked at each other, and it was Guan Tianpei who explained the military situation first:
"Your Highness, Shengming, Britain can indeed start to prepare, but there is no need to be too anxious about time.
"According to the combat plan formulated by the Grand Governor and the General Staff, the landing on the French mainland should not be possible until two years later.
“The current combat plan of the Ming Dynasty’s four armies is to advance steadily from east to west.
“In the process of defeating the Roman armies of the Three Kingdoms, any form of local resistance was completely eliminated and a new harmonious social order was established.
"Work hard to eliminate the local forces that threaten world peace, order and stability.
"Of course this process will take a lot of time, and it may take two years for the main army to advance to France.
“The next task for the British side is first to defend the British mainland.
"The Ming Dynasty will establish the British Capital Command and Envoy, station the main force of the four armies of the sea, land and air to protect the safety of the empress, His Royal Highness and the British mainland.
"The Ming Dynasty's Special Atlantic Fleet will be stationed in Portsmouth Port, and the newly established Ming Dynasty British Capital Commander's Air Force will gradually be transferred there.
"Your Majesty and Your Highness can take advantage of the special situation during the war to quickly reorganize Britain's internal affairs."
Guan Tianpei stopped here, and warlord Zhu Zhaoxun continued to explain political matters:
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, according to Ming Dynasty’s standards, Britain’s current situation is not considered stable.
“Officials and businessmen colluded to deceive the king and exploit the people.
“The literati and scholars have bad conduct, the merchants and craftsmen are morally corrupt, and the people are poor and angry.
“Now that Britain has become a de facto vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it must rectify and reform its internal affairs in accordance with the standards of the Ming Dynasty.
"All the officers and soldiers of the British Commandery Department will help the Queen and Your Highness to clean up the evil and educate the four people."
Zhu Zhaoxun and Guan Tianpei did not speak very straightforwardly.
But Charlotte had been influenced by the Ming Dynasty culture for many years, and she quickly understood the attitude conveyed by these two people's words.
The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Western countries will not end simply by defeating the courts of the Western countries.
We will not continue to use the original monarchs to rule these countries, and we will not continue to manage the land and people through the original ruling class.
The Ming Dynasty was not about establishing external vassal states, it was not just about strategically stationing troops and collecting taxes.
Instead, we must completely destroy the existing ruling institutions and ruling classes from top to bottom, and turn these lands into real territories of the Ming Dynasty.
The nobles of various countries in Europe and the West, which have been passed down for who knows how many years, are likely to disappear completely after this war.
However, it is impossible for Charlotte to really figure out the deeper intention of this choice, or the direct purpose of the decision-maker.
This is actually the reason why Ming Dynasty did not negotiate with Lucia, Germany, and Italy.
As long as you negotiate with them, you must give some basic conditions.
Even if it requires the other party to surrender unconditionally, "surrender" itself is a condition.
Daming didn't want to give them any promises or conditions.
The purpose of conventional conquerors' negotiations with the original rulers is to use the original rulers' connections and subordinates to import, receive and obtain local resources.
The price was to allow many members of the conquered ruling class to remain in the ruling class.
Daming didn't need to do this, and he didn't want to keep them.
So I won’t negotiate with them.
The Ming Dynasty was not prepared to use Britain as a base to launch a landing war on the western continent as soon as possible.
It is to give the troops on the mainland sufficient time to gradually complete the thorough cleanup of the local ruling class.
People from these classes are bound to rebel wildly and can be quickly suppressed during a war.
There is no need for any complicated reasons or procedures.
In accordance with Zhu Jingyuan's will, Yang Yuchun did not pursue a quick decision in strategic planning, but pursued the permanent elimination of future troubles.
Only by allowing the war in the western continent to last long enough can the Three Kingdoms of Rome continue to squeeze out more viable forces on the continent.
These may all be forces opposed and hostile to Ming Dynasty.
The Three Kingdoms of Rome concentrated these resistance forces, making it easier for the Ming Army to completely eliminate them.
The resistance encountered by subsequent grassroots reforms at the political level will also be reduced accordingly.
Subsequent social transformation can also be more thorough.
As for the "Capital Command and Envoys Division" that the Ming Dynasty wanted to set up in the UK, it was a local organization under the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. It was one of the three divisions in the past.
It is also the military organization in the local provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and is in charge of the Ming Dynasty's garrison in the corresponding provinces.
The establishment of the British Capital Command was to garrison troops in Britain.
The Atlantic Fleet will directly move into Portsmouth, the best large-scale military port in the UK. It is now the temporary base of the Ming Dynasty's Atlantic Fleet.
As for whether the fleet will be renamed in the future or whether it will be stationed in a different place, it is unknown.
But this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.
After this war, the entire western continent will fall under the control of the Ming Dynasty. No one can refuse wherever the Ming Dynasty wants to station troops.
Then he asked Britain to reform according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty.
In politics, "collusion between officials and businessmen" corresponds to the right to vote with asset restrictions.
Deceiving the king corresponds to various bills that restrict the king's rights, and squeezing the people means various bills that tend to favor the bourgeoisie.
According to the Ming Dynasty's system reform, the various concessions promised by the British royal family as a result of previous revolutions in British history will be completely abolished in the future.
When the prince of the Ming Dynasty became the king of England, he could no longer be subject to various restrictions by the local bourgeoisie.
Of course the British bourgeoisie would not agree to this kind of comprehensive reform or seizure of power if they had a choice.
Therefore, the Commander of the Ming Dynasty Britain will stand here, forcing them to agree.
This kind of thing is definitely a good thing for the British royal family.
So Charlotte expressed her appreciation very happily, saying that she would definitely help her son rectify and punish rape, eradicate evil, and educate the people.
The four words "educate the people" contain the cultural reform.
Of course, we have to learn from Ming Dynasty. Charlotte must know exactly how to do it.
So Zhu Zhaoxun didn't say any relevant details at all.
