s: Sorry everyone, because someone at home is sick these days, I don’t have time to update.
Please understand.
I'll make it up, here's a chapter.
Also, please vote at the end of the month June 18, 1914, 2755 AD, Hanking.
After dinner, Wen Desi was reading documents when Chief of General Staff Xin Jie hurried over.
The two greeted each other for a few words, and Xin Jie said with a smile: "Mr.
Wen, this morning at 8:30 Paris time, a large-scale air battle broke out between Germany, Britain and France in the airspace near Paris.
Both sides invested their air fleets."
"Well, what about their air fleet?
I was just wondering why they haven't used it yet, but I didn't expect it to be used today."
Wen Desi showed a strange smile.
"It's all been filmed, or the whole process.
I've brought the video.
You can see the results yourself, or I can tell you."
Xin Jie smiled and took out a small memory card.
"Okay, let me watch it myself.
This kind of thing is like watching an expired football game.
It's boring knowing the result."
Wen Desi took the memory card and put it into his optical brain to start it and started watching the live video inside.
The video was taken by an unmanned mineral surveyor at an altitude of 20,000 meters.
Because the European War is currently a hot topic in the world, Wen Desi assigned five of the only six unmanned mineral surveyors to the area and three to monitor the West.
The British, French and German on the front, one monitors the Austrian, German and Russian on the eastern front, and one monitors the southern front, leaving only one for domestic backup.
In the picture on the screen, densely packed armed airships and fighter planes took off from dozens of large airports in Britain and France, flying towards Paris.
Naturally, such a large-scale operation could not be concealed.
The Germans responded quickly and also launched a large number of armed airships and fighter planes.
It can be understood from the commentary and subtitles that the British and French coalition forces dispatched a total of 235 armed airships of various types and more than 800 fighter planes.
The Germans dispatched 188 armed airships and more than 700 fighter planes.
Because the plane is faster, the fighter plane arrives at the destination first, so there is a melee between the planes first.
At 6:30, the first batch of fighter planes from both sides began to contact.
As the number of aircraft from both sides gradually increased, at around 7:00, the main fleets of both sides arrived at their destinations.
Thousands of fighter planes of various types were seen fighting in the sky over Paris.
From time to time, planes were turned into fireballs or fell from the sky dragging black smoke.
From time to time, umbrella flowers appeared in the sky.
At this time, the two sides had not yet killed each other, and they still retained some grace.
Neither of them attacked the other side's parachuting pilot.
Among them, a German aircraft painted in red was particularly active, shooting down seven British and French fighters in succession.
Later, I gave it a close-up.
It was a German Albatross D-type fighter.
Its rear fuselage and vertical tail had been densely painted with dozens of vertical bars.
The achievements of German fighter jets were represented by vertical bars painted on the vertical tail.
The bar bears the nationality of the downed enemy aircraft.
"Who is this red guy?"
Mr.
Wen couldn't help but ask.
"Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the Red Baron," Singer replied from the side.

"The performance of the Albatross should not be as good as our Swifts, but it can actually achieve this level.
It really deserves its reputation.
Well, another one."
Just as he was asking the question, the red plane shot down another opponent.
Mr.
Wen suddenly asked subconsciously: "Are there any such masters among our pilots?"
Xin Jie thought for a while and replied: "It's hard to say that I haven't been compared, but we also have many excellent pilots.
For example, Jin Hai, Wei Dabao, Hua Gaimu of the Air Force, Chu Wangyuan, Huang Zhong and others of Hainan Airlines all have 20 The ace with the above record and our air combat tactics pay more attention to team cooperation rather than their individual fighting. " Wen Desi nodded and continued to look without asking any more questions.
Since the J-3 "Swift" fighter jets purchased by Britain and France from China some time ago were put into combat, they are no longer as defenseless as they used to be.
Although the performance of the "Swift" fighter is not as good as China's active aircraft, it is still slightly better than the German Albatross D-type fighter.
However, many outstanding British and French pilots were lost in early air battles, and most of the people participating in air battles now are rookies.
Although the British and French fighter jets have certain advantages in performance, the quality and actual combat experience of the pilots are far inferior to those of the German pilots.
It was not obvious at the beginning.
The two sides fought back and forth, but as the battle continued, the formation was After the chaos turned into a melee, the shortcomings of the pilots' lack of quality gradually became apparent.
Half an hour into the air battle, the British and French pilots became obviously panicked and were gradually suppressed by Germany.
Coupled with Germany's ground anti-aircraft firepower constantly looking for opportunities to attack, the losses of British and French fighter jets began to rise sharply.
At about 7:40, the British and French fighter planes could no longer withstand the attack and began to retreat.
At 8 o'clock, all British and French fighter planes retreated.
This time, more than 280 of their fighters were shot down on the spot, and another 200 suffered varying degrees of damage.
Only 160 German fighter planes were shot down, and hundreds of aircraft were injured.
There are still more than 400 aircraft capable of combat.
However, the current battle is only the first half of this air battle.
Shortly after the British and French fighter planes retreated, the British and French airship troops arrived, while the German airship troops were still reorganizing because they were farther away.
On this level, because of China's reference and the big liar Xie Zantai, oh, I mean "experts" are vigorously advocating the "airship victory theory" in the world, and the major powers are also working hard to develop airships, and because China has dug up This pitfall was left open to the great powers.
Countries vigorously introduced technology from China and invested a lot of energy in research and development.
Its development speed far exceeded the same period in the original time and space.
In recent years, more and more large airships and giant airships have appeared in the skies of various countries.
Giant airships like the Hindenburg are no longer rare.
The largest of them is China's Xiangjing class, which is 280 meters long and 60 meters wide.
It contains 300,000 cubic meters of airbags and has an empty weight of 100 tons.
The total buoyancy provided by the airbags reaches 360 tons, and the available effective carrying capacity reaches 240 tons.
The giant airship was bigger than the Hindenburg that unfortunately crashed.
However, this Xiangjing class is a transport airship, not an armed airship.
Second only to China is Germany.
Their Hindenburg class appeared in the sky 20 years early.
However, this is a modified Hindenburg class that absorbs the technology provided by China.
Not only is it equipped with auxiliary propellers around the hull, The hull structure is also greatly improved over the prototype.
Germany's largest strategic armed airship is the "Rheingold" class, which is the armed version of the Hindenburg class.
It is equipped with a twin 150mm main gun, three 88mm secondary guns, four 57mm and three 37mm rapid-fire cannons, and 8 machine guns.
The British "Cherubim" class, also known as the "Angel" class, and the French "Giffard class" are smaller than their German counterparts, with a 6-inch main gun and fewer secondary guns and rapid-fire guns.
Since they are all imported Chinese technologies, these airships are relatively similar in appearance.
The most obvious difference is the painting.
Germany's orange-red paint, Britain's yellow, France's blue.
In order to cover the formation of their own airships, German aircraft rushed forward first.
Due to the high altitude of the British and French airships at this time, German aircraft could only attack from below.

The great powers are not fools.
Although they also believe that airships are the masters of the sky, they will not be defenseless against aircraft.
Because the ceiling of the aircraft at this time is far lower than that of the airship, the best way to prevent it is to fly at high altitudes.
As long as it rises above 8,000 meters, the aircraft will basically be helpless and helpless.
But this time Britain and France were preparing for an air fleet battle with Germany, and they carried too many weapons and ammunition, so they could not fly that high and could only reach an altitude of 5,000 meters.
Although this height can render most anti-aircraft guns ineffective, aircraft can attack.
Of course, the aircraft at this time did not have turbocharging technology.
Once the altitude reached 5,000 meters, they became very sluggish, and their maneuverability and speed were greatly reduced.
To ensure maneuverability, aircraft in this period basically conducted air combat in airspace below 3,000 meters.
But at this time, they couldn't care less.
If the British and French airship arrays were to attack our own airships that were still in formation, most of the air battle would be lost.
The German fighters threw aside their orders and rushed forward crazily.
Armed airships all have a characteristic.
Their lower hemisphere has the strongest firepower.
Once they are in formation, they can cover each other and even use their main guns.
After discovering the attack intention of the German plane, the British and French airships immediately began to attack.
Thousands of rapid-fire cannons and machine guns were seen spitting out long tongues of flame, intertwining into a dense fire net beneath the airship array.
The German plane was currently in the climbing stage and could not make large maneuvers.
After hitting the fire net, it was immediately hit and bloody.
The G08 machine gun still fires upward, so its power is greatly reduced.
The lower hemisphere of the armed airship is the key protection area.
The bottom of the pod is equipped with at least 10 mm thick armor.
The machine gun only adds a few pits.
Although the airbags are not armored, the machine gun bullets are too small and can only punch a few small holes.
For an airship with a multi-airbag structure, just breaking a few airbags will not affect the flight at all.
In less than five minutes, more than 30 German aircraft were shot down, while only a few British and French airships suffered minor injuries.
When the remaining German aircraft saw that the opponent's firepower was too strong, they immediately divided into several groups and circled around the airship array.
"Do the British and French airships use hydrogen or helium?"
Seeing this situation, Wen Desi frowned.
Xin Jie explained from the side: "It is a mixed gas, with an inner layer of hydrogen and an outer layer of helium.
Mr.
Wen, in fact, even a fully hydrogen airship, as long as it is at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, without special incendiary bombs, is very It is difficult to ignite.
Germany is using ordinary bullets, which will not do much damage to the airship unless one-third of the air bags are broken."
"Hahaha, if you put it this way, our airships are not all deceptive."
Wen Desi smiled.
The "armed airship pit" dug by Wen Desi has trapped almost all the great powers.
While all countries are investing huge sums of money and manpower and material resources to vigorously develop "air battleships" and "air cruisers", China only The first 8 airships were built but not built.
The subsequent large and giant airships were all bombing and transport types.
These airships were only equipped with small-caliber rapid-fire guns and machine guns of less than 60 mm at most.
However, in order to confuse foreigners, these airships are equipped with large-caliber fake turrets made of iron, wood and plywood, and then painted with a layer of metallic paint.
Anyway, as long as no one looks closely, no one can tell that they are fakes.
At about 8:20 minutes, under the harassment of German aircraft, the German airships successfully arranged their array, and the airships on both sides began to fire their main guns.
Unlike naval battles where the battle line faces the enemy sideways, the bombardment between armed airships is aimed at the enemy from the head.
This takes into account the recoil.
After all, the stability of the airship cannot be compared with that of the battleship.

The displacement caused by the side firing And the swing is larger, the displacement of the head towards the enemy is much smaller, and it can also reduce the area being attacked.
Another biggest difference from naval battles is cannonballs.
Because the airship's defense is much lower, the shells used by the airship's main gun are basically shotgun shells and grenades, in order to destroy the opponent's airbag as much as possible.
Due to the desperate harassment by German planes, the British and French airship arrays were defensive in two rows, and the boats were lined up relatively densely.
The German airships can calmly form multiple rows of attack formations.
This is equivalent to the fact that the German airships are on the same side as the British and French airships.
All airships can exert firepower, but the British and French airships have only two lines against the German airships, and only the first two rows of airships can exert firepower.
So as soon as they came into contact, the British and French airships suffered a big loss.
I saw the main guns of the airships on both sides firing in unison.
The red and yellow gun flames illuminated half of the sky.
Ribbon-like ballistic trajectories crisscrossed the air.
The downed airships fell like meteors.
The power of the 150mm main gun is not comparable to that of a machine gun.
In less than ten minutes of exchange of fire, more than a dozen airships were dropped, all belonging to the British and French coalition forces.
Only a few German airships were injured, and one of them was seriously injured.
It broke away from the array and descended to the ground.
Anyway, the ground was a German-controlled area.
At this time, German aircraft also circled above the British and French airship array from all sides.
The German aircraft, led by several aces, swooped down from the airship and violently attacked the most vulnerable upper hemisphere of the airship.
Although the German planes did not have incendiary bombs, they used a dozen planes to attack an airship in a concentrated manner.
Airship airbags cannot stop bullets.
Even if a few are broken, it will not affect the flight, but if they are broken a lot, it will still be fatal.
Under this round of attacks by German planes, four more airships were shot down.
Two more ships were seriously injured and could no longer maintain an altitude of 5,000 meters and were descending rapidly.
When the German planes hovering below saw an opportunity, they immediately rushed up to watch.
The lone airship that broke away from the array appeared extremely vulnerable when faced with the fleet of aircraft coming from all directions.
It was beaten into two huge fireballs in less than 2 minutes.
As soon as the German pilots saw that this tactic was effective, they immediately followed suit and carried out repeated dive attacks.
The German airship also took the opportunity to approach and attack when the opponent's position was in chaos.
This unprecedented large-scale air battle was the prelude to Britain and France's attempt to counterattack and retake Paris.
After a total of more than 3 hours of fierce fighting, the German Air Force finally won.
The British and French allied forces lost a total of 335 fighter planes shot down on the spot and lost after return, more than 300 were damaged, 98 airships were lost, and the remaining ones were all injured.
A total of 214 German fighter planes were shot down and more than 100 were injured. 27 airships were shot down and more than 40 were injured.
Unable to regain air supremacy, the counterattack ended in vain.
"Hahaha, this kind of air fleet battle looks really good.
It's spectacular but not very practical."
Wen Desi said with great regret after watching the entire air battle.
"Yes, in front of our fighter jets, airships are big targets, whether they are hydrogen airships or helium airships." , it is very likely that it will be on a tank next”:
