    "We don't need to be afraid of airships, gentlemen!" British Admiralty Churchill burst into the Imperial Residence in Whitehall with an excited face and shouted to a room of British ministers.  The top gentlemen in Britain frowned at Churchill's extraordinary behavior.

    "Our aircraft have already flown into the sky at a speed far exceeding that of airships, and production has been industrialized. Our scientists are conducting intensive experiments to load heavy machine guns on the aircraft. If successful, I believe that the empire's aircraft fleet will  Turn China's airships into fireballs like fireworks, and they will no longer be able to threaten the empire's territory, whether it is the earth or the sky!"

    "What? Really?"

    "is that true?"

    At this time, the gentlemen of the empire finally couldn't sit still anymore and left their seats one after another.

    In June 1912, after the whole of Europe had been silent for several months in the nightmare of bombing by giant Chinese airships, the European civilized world finally ushered in the dawn of dawn.

    Following the pioneers of the aviation industry, the Wright brothers, a large number of scientists have switched to the field of aviation under the attention and huge investment of the government and the public. In the shortest possible time, new breakthroughs have been made in the emerging field of aircraft.  There have been new and revolutionary developments in engines, fluid mechanics, and metal smelting. Those early aircraft that could only be hand-built by pioneers finally took the form of industrial production.

    With this, China¡¯s giant airships will no longer be a threat. Although aircraft are smaller than airships, they are inherently the nemesis of airships.  The shape and power of an airship are destined to make it impossible to surpass the performance and flexibility of an aircraft in the sky. Under the overwhelming maneuverability of the aircraft, it will only be chased by the firepower of the aircraft.

    The governments of the United Kingdom, France, Italy and other countries have successively promised in front of their citizens that they will concentrate their efforts on developing new weapons such as aircraft and promote the industrialization of aircraft production to deal with the threat from the Chinese Air Force airships.

    Now the European civilized world finally feels at ease.  People in the civilized world no longer have to worry about the Avengers from the barbaric world arriving in airships and bombing civilized centers like Paris and London into flaming ruins.  The shadow of war brought by China's air force to Europe has finally begun to dissipate, and the public pressure on the government that had been fierce for some time has returned to normal.

    But these few short months were also a terrifying experience for the white people in Europe. They sounded the alarm for the European colonists and made these civilization leaders who claimed to be the center of the world suddenly feel the power of the world.  Dramatic changes, and began to face the terror from the east of the world.  In people's minds, the Eastern world, which was originally barbaric and ignorant, has finally entered the vision of European civilization, and its threat of war is increasing day by day.

    The Chinese Empire, a country that had just completed its revolution, suddenly became a potentially huge threat in the eyes of the European people, and was already vaguely regarded as one of the great powers.  At the very least, now, both the top leaders of the government and the people at the bottom have begun to give up their previous disdainful remarks about the Chinese, and have begun to treat the Chinese in Europe as equals. From the bottom of their hearts, people have begun to admit that China will threaten Europe in the future.  the power of.

    After this, China's image in Europe also changed drastically. At this time, although the country was still poor and in ruins, it had begun to show a sudden rise in influence on the world. Chinese people all over the world also  It is an honor to enjoy the improvement of the international status of Chinese people in such environmental changes.

    In the history of later generations, this voyage of the Chinese Air Force that changed the world will be called the Chinese Air Force Airship Incident.  It not only promoted exchanges between China and Germany, but also opened the prelude to the transformation of a new generation of military thinking in the world. It also indirectly changed the world situation and showed the world a new China, a striving for progress, technological progress, and full of strong enthusiasm.  The expansionary and aggressive Eastern Empire.

    At the same time, the impact of the Air Force's giant airship formations has also caused the major powers of various countries to carefully study and treat the upcoming world war. The Air Force has launched new tactics and military technologies. In the long run, it has also contributed to the overall industrial development of the world.  Directional steering.  From this moment on, the world has entered a historical fork in the road.

    ¡­¡­

    At this time in the East, the Sino-Japanese War has achieved phased results.

    The Chinese Revolutionary Army's battle in the mountainous areas of northern Korea has come to an end. Deng Ai, the former enemy commander-in-chief and commander of the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, integrated and reorganized the former enemy's four revolutionary armies in the previous months of war, and initially formed a  After allowing the soldiers to adapt to the combat effectiveness of the new weapons, they began to formally exert their force.

    In May, the Japanese army concentrated on its firepower superiority and launched two major annihilation battles in Dingzhou and Xichuan, annihilating the two main divisions of the Japanese army. Then the army launched an assault, crossing the Qingchuan River and crossing the Miaoxiang Mountains.  , troops arrived in Pyongyang.

    With the EmpireAs the Japanese army advanced, nationalists in North Korea also rose up one after another, disrupting the transportation and baggage of the North Korean garrison troops everywhere in North Korea, which annoyed the Japanese army.  Senior officials of the Japanese military stationed in North Korea, even the most radical militarists, had to admit at this moment that Japan's future in North Korea was already bleak.

    At this time, the size of the Imperial Navy had begun to expand. The main battleships were still three main battleships, but the size of the cruise fleet had been expanded several times. After Li Zhe occupied all of China, the second upgrade resulted in the third batch of expeditionary forces.  Support arrives.  With a scale of nearly 2,000 people, Li Zhe suddenly had a lot more balance on hand to adapt to.  The naval officer school has expanded significantly beyond the planned scale, and all the old ships of the Qing Dynasty Navy have been turned into practice ships.

    The Empire's new naval cruiser fleet has reached a scale of eighteen light cruisers and six heavy cruisers. The heavy cruisers, named the Mountain Class, are built in exactly the same system as the light cruisers, and the hull structure remains unchanged.  , but the size and tonnage have become larger, the power has been enhanced, and the armor has also been enhanced a lot. The caliber of the main gun has changed from the 155MM Thor IV series automatic naval gun to the 203MM Thor V series, and the firepower has been greatly enhanced.  The heavy cruiser, with a total displacement of more than 12,000 tons, filled the gap between the Emperor-class battleships and the Wutaishan-class light cruisers, making the empire's naval configuration gradually perfect.

    Of course, most of the crews of these light and heavy cruisers at this time were a mixture of old and new. With the main force of the Japanese navy having been wiped out, a group of new recruits dared to patrol the Jeju Strait and the Korean Strait in large numbers, hunting Japanese enemies at high speeds.  The supply fleet coming and going made the Japanese government and the public miserable.  In Japan, calls for an end to the war are growing day by day. After the main Japanese division in Korea was annihilated, the country no longer dared to send new reinforcements.

    ??North Korea, under the imperial military front, is already like a ripe fruit, easily accessible.

    I don¡¯t know when the focus of public opinion within the empire began to turn to Ryukyu and Taiwan.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
