Macho Wars

The group of people who had spared no effort to praise the Great War a few months ago now only hate their parents for having two legs less.

In this general environment, the royal family and the central government have to seriously consider whether it is necessary to transfer key officials to safe areas.Because the imperial capital is a city aside from historical factors, it is located in the Great Plains, and geographically there is almost no risk.

The rebels at this stage are certainly less powerful than the Central Army, but relying on the convenient water and land transportation network around the imperial capital, the troops can move quickly and launch large-scale attacks on the city from any point.

When the high-level meeting was held this morning, Alicia was also able to listen in. She could see that her mother was hesitating.Fleeing from the imperial capital is certainly detrimental to the reputation and majesty of the imperial family, but the rebellion in the city a few days ago, the rebels once occupied the high ground to the south of the imperial palace, set up an artillery position here, and successfully bombarded the imperial palace with mountain shells.

In this round of shelling, many shells hit the main palace bedroom, and one of them smashed the floor-to-ceiling glass of the queen mother's room, awakening the queen mother who was sleeping at the time.

This incident left a lot of psychological shadow on the Queen Mother. Alicia saw that her mother wanted to leave, but she spoke in front of the officials because of her face.

In fact, Alicia also wanted to leave the imperial capital and take her family back to the colony of the New World by boat. The storm center over there should be safer.For this reason, she deliberately sent a letter to Nine Sister Enfia, asking her to help her find a way.

"It's hard to get out of the city now, Della... ahem! Li wants to use several transport planes at the air force airport to transfer important personnel to Horn Harbor in batches. Karen, you might as well go with us then. !"

"Go? Where else can someone like me go! There is no place for me in this world."

"Karen, you don't actually need to..."

Alicia was trying to comfort Karen with a few words, when suddenly there were several rumbling cannons outside.But Alicia's face changed, because this time her voice was not far from them.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she heard the sharp breaking sound when the shell was about to land, and then a large group of fire ignited outside the window, accompanied by strong vibrations, spreading to every corner of the palace...

"What's the matter? Where's the gun?"

"It's the air, two airships have rebelled!"

A series of artillery shells kept flying across the night sky, slamming heavily on the top of the Imperial Palace. The royal guards quickly followed the trajectory and found that the attacker came from the air.Two combat airships that were supposed to be patrolling in the west of the city suddenly launched a rebellion. After several lower-level officers shot and killed the commander and the unwilling crew members, they shelled the palace overnight.

Under their surprise attack, the imperfect palace was hit hard, many buildings were destroyed by large-caliber artillery shells, and the casualties were huge.

However, just as they were fighting, two fighters belonging to the Marine Corps quickly rushed to the airspace at the scene.

The two fighters were originally going to return home, because the aviation team currently does not have night combat capabilities.But on the way back to the airport, they happened to meet these two rebellious airships unexpectedly.

The lead plane decided immediately, taking advantage of the sun, the last remaining red light on the top of the mountain, and the guidance of the ground searchlights, to do a big vote!

Both fighter jets carry incendiary rockets specially designed for airships under the wings, which together total 16 rounds.The lead plane decided to concentrate firepower on one of them first, and strive for a wave of rockets to directly knock down the opponent.

Under the guidance of the lead plane, the two fighters quickly circled to the upper right of one of the airships, and launched all the rockets when they dived to only about 200 meters from the target through visual observation.

Sixteen rockets drawn rays of light in the air, and the huge body of the airship exploded in an instant, turning into a huge torch, hovering in the air and falling to the ground, slamming heavily on the palace wall.

Chapter 422

The crashed airship collided with a section of the palace wall, and then the ammunition depot exploded. With a deafening noise, a huge fireball soaring into the sky was ignited, which can be seen clearly within a radius of several kilometers.

When the attack occurred, the Empress Dowager Susan was having dinner with the young emperor, and the well-trained royal guards immediately took them to transfer.

But as soon as the group left the restaurant, a shell flew from the window into the hallway of the hall. Several royal guards walking in front of the team were brutally affected. They were battered on the spot and died in front of the empress dowager and the emperor.

In order to increase their destructive power, the rebels who hijacked the airship deliberately used special fire bombs newly installed by the military for a short period of time. Every shot down could cause a large area of ​​fire in the palace, and soon a large area was burned.

The Royal Alchemy Workshop that produced this ammunition once proudly advertised to the military that the hybrid grease they developed had the advantages of high burning temperature, strong adhesion and inability to be watered out. Now let’s take a look at the misery in the palace... Theirs is indeed not bragging!

Due to the fire caused by the shells, the royal guards who wanted to take the queen mother and the young emperor to the underground bunker had to detour.As a result, the road was detoured. Although neither of the important officials was injured, they saw a lot of terrifying sights like purgatory on earth.

Fortunately, two fighter jets from the air force arrived in time and successfully shot down one of the airships held by the rebels and drove one away.But before that, two rebel airships had fired dozens of shells at the palace, causing hundreds of casualties in just a few minutes.Many people were burned alive. Their tragic death and their desperate wailing before death are enough to leave a psychological shadow that will not be erased for all those who have witnessed it.

After the attack, Howard, who was in the Central Military Headquarters, rushed back to the palace for the first time. The tragic situation before him made him clenched his fists subconsciously.

These veteran elites in the entire Central Military Region are too deeply tainted with politics, and the ranks of officers are already rotten from top to bottom, and each has its own small calculations.Only a few troops, including the four former colonial divisions, can be relied on for the actions that Howard really commanded.

They not only have to fight against strong enemies who are not weak, but also be careful to guard against those twenty-five boys who are likely to move a knife from behind at any time.Faced with such a difficult situation, Howard is also very difficult to handle, but the imperial capital is of great significance, and it is definitely not a place that can be easily abandoned.

Soon, Howard saw his sister and nephew in the underground bunker.Andy, who was only ten years old, was really frightened. He was shrinking in his mother's arms and sobbing softly, while Susan seemed calm, but in fact, her face was pale and her eyes were dull, and she was also frightened when she fell into it.

Seeing the appearance of the two young men, Howard couldn't help sighing.

"Well, don't worry, I'm here."

Hearing Howard's voice, the queen mother Susan slowly raised her head and looked at the man who was regarded as proud by herself and even the entire Barano family.

"Brother, you must send me and Andy out of here, it's not safe here!"

"I know this, but it's not a good time to leave the imperial capital. Trust me, I will arrange everything."

Howard said, knelt down on one knee and gently reached out and touched his sister's head, just like they did when they were young.

Under Howard's comfort, Susan's mood quickly stabilized.At this moment Alicia walked in from outside, her long and neat dress was full of blood stains, but her eyes were very calm.

When the previous attack occurred, Nangong where Alicia and Kallen were located was not affected by the shelling.She first settled with her family, and then waited until the fighters in the air packed up the airship before rushing to the Central Palace. Relying on the first aid skills she had learned from the battlefield hospital, she rescued many injured people.

Seeing the calm and composed Alicia, Howard couldn't help showing a trace of appreciation in his eyes.A few years ago, this child was still soft, weak and unassuming. At that time, he never expected that he would grow up like he is now.

It seemed that all of this had to be thankful to a certain guy, what he taught Alicia was not just the joy of being a woman.

After Alicia came over, seeing Howard was also there, she hurriedly raised the corner of her skirt to salute, and then sternly reported to the other party.

"Uncle...General, there are too many wounded in the palace. The imperial physicians are currently understaffed. We need to send them to the big hospital outside as soon as possible, otherwise many severely wounded will be unable to support them."

"I had expected this. I brought twenty heavy trucks. The hospital also said hello. They will be responsible for transporting the wounded. You should also take a good rest. If you are so tired, he will Distressed."

"General, I want to ask... how is he over there?"

"That kid! I'm not sure if he is good, but I'm pretty sure, he makes many people feel bad now."

Speaking of Dragon, Howard couldn't help showing a long-lost smile on his face.If it is said that which unit of the Central Military District gives him the most peace of mind, it is the First Marine Division.If they weren't stuck in the most critical position in a timely and accurate manner, the front line would never return to the confrontation.

As Howard said, they make many people feel uncomfortable!

As for the rebels at this time, the three princes fell into madness mode because the offensive was blocked.That damn First Marine Division, they used only one regiment of troops to successfully cut off their troops, and the front and rear armies couldn't respond, and the offensive was unsustainable.

And the most damn thing is that these gangs of hillbillies from the colonies are all clueless, and the one who fights them is so exciting!The Marine Corps also left a deep impression on them with their sophisticated equipment and combat effectiveness.

"It's a pity that he is a guy who doesn't know the current affairs. If he is willing to follow me, he will be promoted to three levels immediately when I sit on the throne!"

In the rebel headquarters, the three princes looked at the battle map on the table and slapped the position of the First Marine Division.The more than 10,000 people on the other side of the river were unable to fight or retreat now, and the third prince was trapped in an embarrassing situation of insufficient strength.

This made him feel very regretful. Why did he obey Firavi's plan and maintain the restraint of Rao Shizi. The five factions each brought only one division. As a result, they are now understaffed.

For this reason, the three princes had to call the rear and asked them to quickly send reinforcements.However, the reaction from the back home was a bit wrong. He just kept saying "Reinforcements are already on the way" without telling them where they are now.

Although the third prince thought he was not a person who was good at using his brain, he was very confident in his sixth sense. This metaphysical talent had helped him avoid fatal catastrophes on the battlefield more than once.

He firmly believes that this time will be no exception...probably!
