Chapter 690

After the bombing by the Germans, the morale of the British side was quite low. It can be said that pessimism has begun to spread.

No need for anything else, just look at the expressions of the people in the conference room. After learning about the advantages of the Germans' night bombing, the senior British commanders present began to be discouraged.

Obviously, if this situation continues, the confidence that Churchill has so easily inspired will be lost. Once the belief in victory is lost, traitors and capitulators will appear. This is the most difficult thing for Churchill. saw.

Therefore, Churchill must find a way to tell the British that Germany is not omnipotent, and war is a double-edged sword. While stabbing the enemy, he will also be hurt!

What better way to boost morale than bombing an opponent's capital?

This has been regarded as a classic by politicians. For example, after the island country bombed Pearl Harbor, a pessimistic atmosphere pervaded the entire United States, believing that the military strength of the island country was too strong, and it directly killed the United States in the Pacific Ocean. base.

However, Roosevelt immediately figured out a way to make it possible with the impossible. He used the aircraft carrier to carry bombers and bombed the island country, which immediately improved morale and played the most prominent role in the United States winning the entire World War II. .

Churchill wanted to do the same.

However, his words immediately aroused Daoding's dissatisfaction: "No, now we simply don't have the strength to do that."

If the Germans can succeed, the United Kingdom may not succeed. If nothing else, bombing Berlin at night is simply a never-ending battle for the British bomber force.

Throughout World War II, the death rate of the bomber force was quite high. The British bomber force had a casualty rate as high as 50%! You must know that the submarine force, which has always considered itself the highest casualty rate, only had a casualty rate of 30% in World War II.

Germany's air defense force is quite complete. They have advanced radar equipment. The prospect of this bombing is not optimistic.

Dowding firmly opposed it.

Hearing Dawding's words, Churchill just cowardly said: "General Dawding, it's enough to take care of your own affairs. Think more about how to organize air defense forces and protect our airspace."

It's useless to say more, anyway, Dao Ding is not in charge of this.

The Royal Air Force established several special commands in 1936: the Fighter Aviation Command, the Bomber Aviation Command, and the Coastal Aviation Command. In the same year, Dawding became the commander of the fighter aviation force.

That is to say, homeland air defense is in charge of Daoding, but the bombing mission has nothing to do with him.

Churchill's words made Douding's face turn blue and red for a while, but he finally held back and said nothing.

The relationship between Dawding and Churchill is also not good. After all, Churchill's random command made Dawding quite disgusted. However, in this eventful autumn, Dawding really did not have the courage to walk away. As a senior general, he needs to be responsible. Row.

And now, the commander of the British bomber force is Lieutenant General Arthur Harris, a fat, gray-haired old general who became the predecessor of the Royal Air Force in the First World War - the Royal Flying Corps a member of .

Now he is receiving everyone's attention. After Churchill scolded Douding, he turned his eyes to him.

Lieutenant General Harris knew that it was not easy to bomb Berlin, because the performance of our own bombers was limited, and it was impossible to make a big circle. From the sea, they could only fly through the airspace of France, the Netherlands and other countries, and the German troops along the way were intercepted. Quite terrifying, indeed a thrilling mission.

But does he have a choice? What better way to boost the morale of the British people than to send out bombers?

In his mind, the bomber was the best weapon for attacking the enemy, destroying morale, ending the war quickly, and avoiding carnage.

And now, the time has come!

"Our Royal Bomber Force will complete the mission successfully." The mouth under the moustache opened, and his words were sonorous and powerful, encouraging everyone present: "We know that this will be a difficult battle, However, we cannot refuse, after all, this is our mission, let the Germans know what happens to us by bombing us!"

No choice, it has to be!

"Yes, and fast, just tonight, we will let the Germans know how good we are!" Churchill said.

tonight! There is only one daytime preparation time, which further exacerbates the factor of uncertainty. Dao Ding frowned and said nothing, the sadness of a layman leading a layman.

The Germans had planned for months for this air strike! The supporting equipment, even took a few years, to put it further, even after Cyric took power, Reinhardt sent agents to the UK in large numbers, paving the way for last night's bombing. .

Otherwise, how is the guidance on the ground accomplished? Even if there is radio guidance equipment, the ultimate goal is still guided by the ground. Whether it is a reverse-installed street lamp, a bonfire on the ground, etc., it is all done by the agents who ambushed there in advance.

The UK, on ​​the other hand, has no preparations at all. Even so, they are still going to complete this task.

It is impossible to bomb during the day, so they can only bomb at night, and their advantage is that Berlin never sleeps.

If the air defense control is carried out in Berlin because of fear of British air strikes, and the whole city is dark, it will definitely be very shameful. Now the Germans are definitely the proudest, they will not make the night in Berlin dark. .

So, there is still hope for them to succeed!

"I will personally practice it for the soldiers who go on the expedition." Churchill said: "I will be at the airport, waiting for their triumph!"

This air raid on Berlin was listed as the highest-level task by Churchill. Churchill will go there in person, which is inspiring!

"Report, latest news." At this moment, Brigadier Halke, who had just received a phone call, showed excitement on his face: "We have already confirmed that German Führer Cyric is currently in Paris!"

in Paris! Hearing this news, Churchill was also excited. If this is the case, it will be better. Compared with bombing Berlin, bombing Paris is less dangerous. It would be better if Cyric could be killed. !

The Germans bombed their own Whitehall Street, and their own bombed Cyric's mansion.

"Looks like we need to renegotiate our plans." Churchill lit his cigar, and he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation. God, he hasn't given up on Great Britain!
