After more than 100 years of development, the city of London has long been one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of one million.The streets are paved with bluestone, and the houses on both sides are five-storey European-style buildings.Huge churches can be seen everywhere, and there are many shops lined up all over the place.The streets are even more crowded, enjoying a good noon.When the explosion began, the first reaction of all Londoners was shock.When the shrapnel tore through their bodies, the pain was so intense that they screamed and remembered to run away.London is located in much the same position as Shanghai, at the mouth of the river.The bombing carried out by the Huaxing army in the deep-water port only blew up the outer perimeter of the old city of London at the farthest, and had no effect on the palace where the royal family was located.The air force of the Huaxing Army did not bomb in depth, but bombed factories outside the city in a targeted manner.These factories were all inspected by Firefox in advance, some were military factories, some were shipyards, and there were steel companies."
Earl John Jerry was a great general who gave his life to defend Britain and defend the honor of the navy.The British people will always remember his exploits, and God will also call him in heaven, may his soul rest in peace" Edward VII was reciting the eulogy for John Jericho, when he did not expect explosions in the distance, rolling in wave after wave, which immediately scared the new king into a cold sweat.At this moment, the war was so close to him.The guards shouted, "Protect His Majesty, dozens of people immediately surrounded him and escorted him to the car" The funeral scene was chaotic, and the big people fled under the escort of the guards.The family members cried together, and they didn't care about the funeral at this moment, so they all looked for cover and hid first.Fortunately, the shells did not come down in this direction, but only resounded around the city.Edward VII hurriedly convened a meeting of the military leadership, and slapped the table in the atmosphere and said angrily, "What are you all doing to eat, the Oriental people have come to the door, and our navy will immediately mobilize warships to attack the ships of the Orientals" "Report to Your Majesty, the two thousand main warships of the navy have all been destroyed by the Orientals."
His subordinates are mobilizing ships and attacking the Orientals at once," replied Admiral David Betty, the deputy commander of the navy, in a low voice, and soon after the death of John Jericho, he was appointed temporary commander-in-chief of the navy."
The army will immediately be deployed on all sides of London, in case the Orientals land here, and if the naval ships can't be defeated, your army will fight them with artillery," Edward VII still slapped the table angrily, and for the first time he was impatient."
Your Majesty is assured that the Army is ready for full defense.As long as the Easterners dare to land a single soldier, we will completely annihilate them" Field Marshal John French hurriedly prayed, pretending to be calm, but in fact, he was more panicked than anyone else.He had just received news of the fall of Plymouth and was going to report it to Edward VII.As a result, looking at the situation now, it is better to slow down for a while, and focus on strictly preventing the Huaxing Army from landing in London."
Okay, don't be stunned here, go down and act immediately" Edward VII shouted, anxious to immediately drive the generals out of the underground command room.Prime Minister Salisbury hesitated, and after the generals left, he immediately persuaded Edward VII, "Your Majesty, the situation is very unfavorable for us.The Orientals have already reached the outskirts of London, and it would be bad if they landed here.According to my opinion, you and the royal family should retreat to Scotland, and London will have me sitting here," Edward VII took a sip of herbal tea and shook his head resolutely at Salisbury, "Prime Minister, you don't have to persuade me anymore.I have decided to live and die with the city of London, and the British people cannot live without the king in the most dangerous time" "However, it is too dangerous to stay here, if you have three long and two short, our Britain will be a mess" Salisbury still wanted to persuade again, Edward VII was already a little impatient to send off the guests.As soon as he became king, he was in great trouble, even threatening his life.Thinking of this, his depression did not come to a place.The kings of England were all brilliant and strategic, constantly expanding their territory in the world.Only when it was his turn, he couldn't even enjoy the peace, and even the enemy came to the door.The Huaxing army bombed the periphery of London for two days, dropping nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition at important places in London.The sound of artillery from morning to night, completely bombardment at all costs.Regardless of whether the target has an opponent or not, they are all razed to the ground.The city of London was filled with smoke and flames.The dust from the shells completely obscured the sun, and the daylight was like evening.The people of London were attacked for the first time, and after a day, they finally accepted the reality and fled to the basement or north.However, King Edward VII constantly warned the people through the radio that he had been fighting with the people at the forefront, which reassured the people of London.The British Navy organized 100 warships to attack the navy of the Huaxing Army, but these warships were all wooden merchant ships, and they were blown into pieces at sea before they even reached the 5,000-meter distance of the Huaxing Army's warships.The army also kept firing artillery into the sea on the shore, but because the range was not enough, the shells fell into the sea one after another.However, several batteries in the port of London still played a role, and the large-caliber artillery equipped on them still made the fleet of the Huaxing Army suffer a little loss.In the end, the dozen or so batteries lost their combat effectiveness under the back-and-forth bombardment of aircraft.This point had to wake up Hua Xingjun, and he couldn't relax his vigilance no matter what time it was.The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Britain has been crisscrossing the ocean for many years, and it has always saved some money.After two days of bombardment, all the thousands of warships of the Huaxing Army sounded their whistles and returned home.The whole city of London breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent the demon away, otherwise there would not have been even a time to breathe.Edward VII personally appeared to appease the citizens, and also took a car to inspect the London coastline and personally inspect the officers and men of the three armies.The city of London, including the surrounding cities, quickly mobilized and called on all young and middle-aged people in Britain to join the army to defend their homeland and country.The field marshal saw that the situation was temporarily eased, and only then did he dare to tell him the news of the loss of Plymouth.Edward VII thought that God had blessed England and drove away these hateful Orientals, but they did not expect that they had already laid a nail in England.At this time, London was temporarily safe, and the Huaxing army in Plymouth was alone, and it was a good time to attack them.The military unanimously agreed to immediately launch a counterattack against Plymouth's Huaxing Army.The city of London had been defended by a million troops, but at this time it was all pressed towards Plymouths.The field marshal even issued a military writ, and when he could not win Plymouth, he immediately applied for voluntary resignation
