    Can you believe it?  We were hit by an "egg rain" from 2,000 kilometers away, and the guy Evans even collected the egg liquid to make omelette after the game, and we all tore into it together during dinner.  Yes, hard!  It's not an exaggeration at all. Maybe it looks like a child's joke to you, but to me it was a nightmare.  Imagine that when you are in a happy mood and enjoying your Indian Ocean vacation, there are a group of migrating birds throwing tons of "feces" from above your head No mood is lost, I even feel nervous.

    This has never happened before!¡ª¡ª

    Corporal Rodney, Kevin.

    At that time, Kevin was not as relaxed as when he was interviewed later. When he put on his life jacket, put on his helmet and rushed to the fighting position, the sharp roar of the engine was heard above his head.  At that time, half of the only eight 40mm anti-aircraft guns on the Rodney had not even received shells, because the ordnance officers who managed anti-aircraft shells were taking a nap.

    It¡¯s complete chaos!

    But what makes Kevin depressed is that it was not until many years later that everyone knew that even the top brass of the National Defense Forces, including Yang Qiu, knew nothing about this bizarre bombing operation that was recorded in world military history.  At that time, Xu Huansheng, the instigator, had already tied himself up in his seat belt in excitement, picked up a basket of eggs and licked the corner of his mouth. His partner behind him was eager to grab the basket and operate it himself.

    There is no way not to be excited, because the idea of ??hitting the opponent with eggs was his idea.

    In fact, in order to successfully complete this symbolic mission of breaking through the blockade, the Air Force senior officials prohibited the aircraft from carrying any weapons except for self-defense, and strictly stipulated that each aircraft could only carry 4 Gulf Company technicians.  After all, if you really wanted to fight a war, you wouldn't send out transport planes but bombers.  But the energetic young men in the Air Force found that they needed to cross the Strait of Hormuz during their flight route, and they began to think about how to leave a "deep" impression on the British warships when they encountered them!  Since offensive weapons could not be brought, everyone worked together to bring everything from pig heads to paint bags. Some people even proposed the idea of ??bringing "golden soup", but fortunately it was not passed, otherwise it would not be said to be stinky.  If the commanders saw that they were trashing the plane like this, they might spend their entire lives in a dark room.

    In the end, Xu Huansheng¡¯s method of smashing eggs prevailed. Not only did he get the support of Huang Guangrui, but he also claimed that if he did not encounter enemies, he could also provide extra meals for the workers of the oil company.  But wanting every plane to carry 400 kilograms of eggs also worries the ground crew.  In order to raise 19 tons of eggs, everyone bought almost all the eggs near the Tajik base.  We even had to transport a batch by train from Urumqi and Kashgar to be satisfied.

    At first, when the fleet saw the vast and empty ocean, everyone thought that the probability of encountering a British warship was too low. However, they did not expect to find a small fleet in less than half an hour of flying.  There is also a huge battleship in the center of the fleet!

    So excited, "Dan Yu" finally has a place to be used!

    "Throw eggs, throw eggs" When he arrived at the bombing area, the voice of the captain, who was once a bomber pilot, changed, and Xu Huansheng immediately threw the eggs in his hand.  One basket after another, until all 400 kilograms of eggs are scattered.  There were already dense black spots in the sky.

    "God! They're attacking."

    "be careful of bombs!"

    ¡°Anti-aircraft artillery¡­.¡±

    The black dots suddenly spewed out from the cabin made the British sailors scream and jump. They thought it was some "new weapon", so several prepared anti-aircraft guns fired first.  Huang Guangrui was startled by the banging shelling. He didn't expect that the British Navy would fire on the eggs, and he quickly ordered an evacuation.  Because three planes broke down on the way and turned back, the remaining 45 transport planes were immediately dispersed.  The British bombardment also made the air force boys very angry, and they only regretted that they were carrying eggs instead of bombs.

    "General! Something seems wrong."

    Just when everyone was worried about the anti-aircraft fire, the staff officer on the heavy cruiser Kent who had been observing suddenly handed over the telescope with a strange expression: "You should see it with your own eyes."

    Kan Anning looked strange when he saw him.  He looked like he wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. He quickly raised his binoculars and was stunned when he saw clearly what the falling black dot was. Was itan egg?

    Even though he had never cooked before, Cunningham knew those little things were eggs.  Rather than the so-called mysterious weapon that everyone thought just now.  This conclusion was verified when hundreds of eggs crackled against the heavy cruiser Kent. The portholes, gun barrels, deck and even the helmet were all covered in thick egg liquid.  The soldiers ran around holding their heads, and the egg liquid splashed and spread.  The whole deck was in commotion.  The same is true for the Rodney. From a distance, the heavily cared-for ship is surrounded by dense water columns. There are even cases where eggs hit the helmets and knocked the soldiers unconscious. The thick egg liquid was thrown away like snot.  are everywhere, let a request be madeThe neat-looking Cunningham twitched the corner of his mouth.

    Snapped!

    At this time, an egg "accurately" hit the steel plate next to Roger John. The egg liquid splashed on his cheeks and neck, leaving a fishy yellow stain on his white navy uniform.  "General" The staff and officers were startled. After all, even an egg would be injured if it fell from a height of several thousand meters and hit him, so they quickly took out their handkerchiefs and prepared to help him wipe away the stains.

    "These damn bastards! The order" Roger John had never been so angry. He stamped his feet angrily and was about to give the order to fire at full speed, but Cunningham quickly grabbed him, covered his forehead and reminded: "General  , this is an egg."

    Yes, this is an egg!  If you order to open fire at full speed just for a few eggs, not only will you not become a Nelson-like general, but you will become the object of ridicule around the world.  Roger John was very reluctant, but thinking of the telegrams from Whitehall asking for as little conflict as possible, he could only glare at the fleet a few times, and then angrily walked into the bridge.

    After he left, Cunningham finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the cannon to stop.  In fact, without any orders, most of the British sailors who learned that it was eggs and not bombs stopped the bombardment.  Although the British Empire is arrogant and unreasonable, the Royal Navy still has this grace.  What's more, a few anti-aircraft guns are basically not a big threat to a fleet of aircraft at a height of 6,000 meters.

    After seeing the bombardment stop, a few brave pilots braved the sky again and flew into the sky. However, this time the British Navy did not fire any more guns. The sailors just hid behind the thick steel plates while accepting the "egg rain" baptism.  While cursing and insulting or simply joking with each other.  Seeing this scene, more and more transport planes began to turn around and continue to scatter eggs to the fleet, just like a group of migratory birds that were disturbed during their migration and vented their anger on the perpetrators with "feces".

    After a while, two belatedly arriving British seaplanes finally climbed up.  But before Huang Guangrui could get close to him, he gave the order to speed up. The pilots immediately pressed the switch to inject methanol. After the purer methanol was poured into the engine, even the fuselage suddenly shook.

    Then, the two British pilots saw a scene they would never forget.  A transport aircraft several times larger is actually faster than a water reconnaissance aircraft.  It drove away at a speed of 330 kilometers per hour.

    The transport plane flies faster than the reconnaissance plane I cried to death!

    After the aircraft fleet left, the sailors walked out of the bunker one after another. At this time, the deck was in a mess, with eggshells and egg liquid everywhere.  Even if the transport aircraft does not have a special bombsight, the egg's own weight is not enough to deflect it.  But the "damage" caused by two hundred thousand eggs is still considerable.  The soldiers shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and the officer ordered the cleaning to begin. Only Cunningham stood on the deck and frowned secretly, looking at the direction in which the plane left.

    Where did they fly from?  If instead of eggs, bombs fell today¡­.

    Cunningham felt a chill in his heart.

    ¡°Suffering a great shame and humiliation¡± Roger John immediately sent people to Saudi Arabia to find out where these planes were flying from, but when the British army forcibly broke into the Ghawar oil field the next day.  Except for seeing more than a hundred oil workers who arrived randomly, the transport plane had already been filled with fuel and disappeared without a trace.

    The news that the Rodney was "egg bombed" quickly spread around the world. To ordinary people, it was more like a joke. The photos of the Rodney covered in egg paste were even more hilarious, but among those  In the eyes of politicians and military strategists, this "bombing" has a different meaning!  Three days later, after Beijing officially announced that the experiment of direct flights from Tajikistan to Riyadh was successful, the attitudes of the countries that had previously turned toward the United Kingdom due to the dispatch of the Rodney changed again.

    Although the 2,500-kilometer skyway cannot sustain a war, they all know that if bombs were dropped instead of eggs, the Rodney would not be covered in egg pulp.

    ?¡­

    When the British Empire fell into anxiety.  East Bengal, however, attracted darkness.  On the streets of Dhaka that were still bustling during the day, only some vendors who had stayed up all night were still dozing off, not even waking up when a few dark shadows passed by.

    This is the opportunity that Park Eun-sung wants most. More than 300 North Korean battalion commando soldiers, all wearing black clothes and black hoods, are led by a hunter team led by Luo Wenhu who came from Yunnan.  Go to the municipal building by Crescent Lake.  The Dhaka Municipal Building was built in 1790. After the British colonial army took control of East Bengal, they used it as a springboard to attack India, so this castle was specially built.  With the British taking full control of India.  The empire on which the sun never sets finally takes shape, and the castle gradually loses its need to defend itself against enemies.  After the partition of East and West Bengal in 1904, it was changed to the provincial capital of East Bengal.

    After Gandhi¡¯s death, sectarian conflicts surged in India, and civil war was imminent. The British government had to hastily end the Dutch East Indies War and send additional troops to India to prevent accidents.  Dhaka is also one of the most important garrison points, the Crescent Lake Military Camp to the north of the castle.??, there is a regiment of soldiers of the British Indian Division stationed there.

    This infantry regiment, composed entirely of British whites and Gurkha soldiers, has always been a thorn in the side of the local Muslim League forces.  However, because they could not find a way to capture the castle, the Muslim League forces in East Bengal not only failed to achieve success, but were severely beaten by the ruthless Gurkha soldiers.

    "careful."

    Luo Wenhu grabbed his comrade who was almost tripped by the cluttered street objects, pointed at the British guard post 300 meters away, and then made a stranglehold.  The comrades nodded and took out two powerful crossbows from their backpacks. Under the starlight, the arrows of the crossbow arrows glowed blue, and they looked like they had been fed poison.  At the same time, several other hunters immediately took out the short blasting tubes specially developed for them, connected them one by one, and then sent out a signal that they were ready

    The sound of crossbows has pushed the British Empire, which is deeply involved in the crisis of Saudi Arabia's founding, into a corner!
