"I really didn't expect that in London, the center of the empire, I would actually hear an alarm!" Asquis walked towards the windowsill, opened the window and looked at London with bright lights in the distance.&1t;/p> "Is there a fire alarm there? Damn, did they actually sound the alarm for such a trivial matter?" Lloyd George frowned and walked towards the window. Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, he still didn't believe his judgment!&1t;/p> "No! It's not a fire alarm! It's an air strike!" At this moment, Asquis suddenly saw a huge fireball rising from the ground. More than ten seconds later, the explosion came from a distance. At this time, searchlights deployed in London also shot out light columns of light towards the dark night sky. After a few minutes, it seemed that the sound of propellers of the plane could still be heard!&1t;/p> "Damn it! It's the German bomber! They dare to bomb London?" Asquis said in surprise. At this moment, the gate of the conference room was pushed open, and the commander of the guard rushed in with his entourage, and was preparing to transfer these three high-powered bosses to a safe area.&1t;/p>" />

Chapter 1968 Uninvited guests

"Your idea is not unreasonable, but I have said before that we must be prepared to bear certain losses!" Asquis emphasized that this is the situation now. Lloyd George and Chamberlain, representing the military, suggested preparing for peace talks now, and Asquis wanted to see again. However, just when they were in stalemate and no one could convince each other, a rapid and sharp alarm sounded from outside the house. After a while, messy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the conference room!&1t;/p>

"I really didn't expect that in London, the center of the empire, I would actually hear an alarm!" Asquis walked towards the windowsill, opened the window and looked at London with bright lights in the distance.&1t;/p>

"Is there a fire alarm there? Damn, did they actually sound the alarm for such a trivial matter?" Lloyd George frowned and walked towards the window. Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, he still didn't believe his judgment!&1t;/p>

At this time, searchlights deployed in London also shot out light columns of light towards the dark night sky. After a few minutes, it seemed that the sound of propellers of the plane could still be heard!&1t;/p>

"Damn it! It's the German bomber! They dare to bomb London?" Asquis said in surprise. At this moment, the gate of the conference room was pushed open, and the commander of the guard rushed in with his entourage, and was preparing to transfer these three high-powered bosses to a safe area.&1t;/p>

"The German bombers have come. They have bombed Grace, Bromry, and Opington, and have now flew to central London! They have carried incendiary bombs and high explosive bombs, and there are so many, you have to move to a safe place." The Chief Guard said a little incoherent, which is normal, because until now, the British themselves do not know how many German bombers have come. Where are the targets of these bombers!&1t;/p>

"How could this happen?!" Asquis looked incredible. It was not objective to say that the British did not expect the Germans to bomb London. In fact, before the war started, the British considered the possibility that the Germans might use Zeppelin to carry bombs to launch air strikes. After all, the flight of the airship was quite long, so the British were prepared for some defense. Under the leadership of the Minister of 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 is Churchill. Did you do similar things in history? Churchill has also done similar things, which is called restoring history~~)&1t;/p>

However, since the war started, no German bomber or airship appeared on the British mainland, so over time, the British were also tired. Most of the aircraft, anti-aircraft guns and searchlights were sent to the Western Front battlefield, and the rest were more symbolic than actual combat significance. However, what is unexpected is that just today, when the wings of the British Air Force could no longer cover the sky, the German bomber came!&1t;/p>

"How are you going to deal with these problems?" Asquis asked the officials next to him as he walked.&1t;/p>

"We are ready to put out the flames at any time. Air Force planes have taken off. They will look for German planes with the help of searchlights and then shoot them down." An official said.&1t;/p>

"Just relying on the sparse searchlights outside and the few planes to knock down German planes? Now, how many of our pilots can take off and land safely at night, and can the heavens not lose their way?" A sarcastic tone was revealed in Lloyd George's words next to him.&1t;/p>

"There will always be some differences between this practical and theoretical work, but the aviation force will do its best to ensure the safety of the air." The official said embarrassingly.&1t;/p>

"Not only London, but other parts of the UK!" Asquith said angrily.&1t;/p>

At this time, the German bomber troops flying in the air were walking in their back gardens, flying comfortably over the UK capital, and relying on some geographical signs or ground lights to determine their location. Tonight, many German aircraft did come to the UK. They did drop some bombs when they were fine, but the most important thing is that they were testing the accuracy of the long-distance night navigation of the Luftwaffe and the British's defense capabilities. The upcoming bombing of the UK will begin.&1t;/p>

"The British have very limited defenses, with few searchlights and anti-aircraft gun troops, and there are no balloons intercepting, let alone night patrol planes." On a k6 bomber, a machine gunner said to the navigator in front very comfortably. "They have almost no defense at night. If they can bomb at night, we may not have any threats."&1t;/p>

"The new electronic compass is also very good, and it cooperates very well with the 6-based navigation station. The angle error is within a tolerable range. By measuring multiple 6-site navigation stations, we can know our location more accurately." The navigator ignored the somewhat boring machine gunner and said to the captain.&1t;/p>

"How is our bombing accuracy?" asked the captain.&1t;/p>

"Haha, it's a terrible sight. If we set our target in the city instead of a specific factory, the result will be acceptable." said one-handedly.&1t;/p>

"So, our night bombing can only be used as harassment and does not make much sense for actual military operations. However, night flight 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.&1t;/p>

In the night sky in southern Britain, in addition to this k6 bomber, there are more than 5O bombers and fighters launching attacks and reconnaissances on the British mainland. They tested the early warning and defense strength of the British during night flight. At the same time, they detected the stability of the new navigation system. The farthest unit even arrived in the Wales area. After some testing and reconnaissance, the German bomber group returned before dawn. The collected data and data have also become the technical basis for large-scale bombings in Britain in the future!&1t;/p>

"If we only target London, our single-machine fighter can provide cover for the bomber group. If we want to go deeper, we can only provide escort with the k4m interceptor. However, considering the k4m's not excellent maneuverability, we may have to bear some losses." Admiral Halder wrote in his report to the prince again.&1t;/p>
