Chapter 1968 Uninvited Guest

"Your idea is not unreasonable, but as I have said before, we must be prepared to suffer certain losses!" Prime Minister Asquith emphasized that this is the current situation. Lloyd George and Chamberlain representing the military It is suggested that peace talks be prepared now, and Asquith wants to take another look. However, just as they were at a stalemate, and no one could persuade the other, a rush and sharp siren sounded from outside the house. A moment later, there were messy footsteps in the corridor outside the meeting room!

"I didn't expect that in London, the center of the empire, I would hear sirens!" Prime Minister Asquith walked to the window sill, opened the window and looked at the brightly lit London in the distance.

"Could it be that there was a fire alarm somewhere? Damn it, did they actually ring the alarm at the prime minister's mansion because of such a trivial matter?" Lloyd George frowned and walked towards the window. Although he already had a faint premonition in his heart, he still Don't trust your own judgment!

"No! It's not a fire alarm! It's an air strike!" At this moment, Prime Minister Asquith suddenly saw a huge fireball rising from the ground. Ten seconds later, the sound of an explosion came from a distance. , The searchlights deployed all over London also shot beams of light into the dark night sky. After a few minutes, it seemed that the sound of the propeller of the plane could still be heard!

"Damn it! It's a German bomber! How dare they bomb London?" Prime Minister Asquith said in surprise. At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the chief guard rushed in with his entourage, and was about to transfer the three powerful figures to a safe area.

"The bombers from the Germans are coming, they've bombed Grays, Bromley, Orpington, and now they're in downtown London! They're carrying incendiary and high-explosive bombs, a lot of them, you have to move to A safe place." The chief guard said something incoherent, which is normal, because until now, the British themselves don't know how many German bombers have come, and where are the targets of these bombers!

"How could this be?!" Prime Minister Asquith had an unbelievable expression on his face. It is not objective to say that the British did not think that the Germans might bomb London. In fact, before the war, the British considered the possibility that the Germans might use Zeppelin airships to carry bombs. It is quite far away, so the British took some precautions. Under the leadership of Minister of the Navy Churchill, the British deployed searchlights, some anti-aircraft guns and a small number of aircraft in the London area. (You read that right, it was Churchill, did Churchill do similar things in history, this is called restoring history~~)

However, since the start of the war, no German bomber or airship has appeared on the British mainland. Therefore, over time, the British have become tired. Most of the planes, anti-aircraft guns and searchlights were sent to the Western Front. The rest is also symbolic. It is more meaningful than actual combat, but what is unexpected is that just today, when the wings of the British Air Force can no longer cover the sky, German bombers came!

"How are you going to deal with these problems?" Prime Minister Asquith asked the officials next to him as he walked.

"We have fire brigades ready to put out the flames, Air Force planes have taken off and they will look for the German planes with the help of searchlights and shoot them down," an official said.

"Just relying on the sparse searchlights outside and the few planes to shoot down the German planes? Now, how many of our pilots can safely take off and land at night, and can not lose their way after going to the sky?" Lloyd George next to him There was a mocking tone in the words.

"There will always be some differences between actual combat and theory, but the aviation force will do its best to ensure the safety of the capital.

"The official said with some embarrassment.

"Not just London, but other parts of the UK!" Prime Minister Asquith said angrily.

At this time, the German bomber unit flying in the air seemed to be walking in their own back garden, flying comfortably over the British capital, and relying on some geographical markings or lights on the ground to determine their orientation. Tonight, indeed Many German planes came to the British mainland, and they dropped some bombs when they were fine, but the most important thing is that they were testing the accuracy of the Luftwaffe's long-distance night navigation and the British's defense capabilities. It kicked off the upcoming bombing of the British mainland.

"The British's defense is very limited. There are very few searchlights and anti-aircraft artillery units, and there are no interceptor balloons. Not to mention the aircraft patrolling at night." On a K6 bomber, a machine gunner was very comfortable with the navigation ahead Said the member. "They are almost undefended at night. If they can bomb at night, I am afraid we will not have any threat."

"The effect of the new electronic compass is also very good. It cooperates very well with the land-based navigation station. The angle error is within a tolerable range. Through the measurement of multiple land-based navigation stations, we can know our position more accurately. "The navigator ignored the boring machine gunner and said to the captain.

"How accurate is our bombing?" the captain asked.

"Hehe, it's terrible. If we set the target on the city instead of a specific factory, then the result is still acceptable." Said Shanshou.

"So, our night bombing can only be used as harassment, and it does not have much significance for actual military operations. However, flying at night is still beneficial. We can fly to London under the cover of night and then bomb at dawn. "The captain thought for a while and said.

In the night sky in southern England, in addition to this K6 bomber, there are more than 50 other bombers and fighter jets launching attacks and reconnaissance on the British mainland. They tested the British's early warning and defense strength when flying at night. The stability of the new navigation system was also tested. One of the farthest crews even went as far as Wales. After some probing and reconnaissance, the German bomber fleet returned before dawn. The data and information collected have also become the technical basis for future large-scale bombing of the United Kingdom!

"If we only target London, our j6 single-engine fighter can provide cover for the bomber group. If we want to go deeper, we can only use the k4m interceptor to provide escort, but considering that the k4m is not outstanding Mobility, we may have to bear some losses." Admiral Halder wrote in his report to the prince.
