Daming 1805

The size of the combined fleet of Prussia and Lucia can be said to be absolutely crushing compared to the fleets of the three Nordic monarchs.

The fleets of the three countries did not make any effective resistance at all.

The Three Kingdoms fleet didn't even think about resisting. They thought about escaping from the beginning. In the end, they couldn't even escape.

The Pru and Lu countries had no intention of mental arithmetic, or the main fleet went all out under the guidance of the aircraft carrier, leaving them no room for turning around.

The battle at sea lasted a total of less than two hours.

The capital ships and escort cruisers of the Three Kingdoms Fleet completely lost their combat effectiveness, and their sailing speed had dropped to only a few knots.

If the attack continues, the warships could be sunk.

Therefore, although extremely angry and unwilling, the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms finally had to let go of their dignity and ordered the remaining ships in the fleet to raise the white flag

The original meaning of the white flag is to ask for negotiation.

But asking for negotiation while under attack is, in effect, conditional surrender.

The monarchs of the Three Kingdoms felt that the Lucians and the Prussians should be crazy, and they might sink with the battleship if they didn't surrender.

The fleets of Lucia and the Prussian Navy stopped the attack, and arranged warships to approach the fleets of the three countries to inspect and accept their surrender.

The Prussian King William III of Berlin was gathering with his main staff and ministers in the conference room of the palace at this time.

As the highest decision-making and command center of combat operations, it receives information from all sides at any time, and makes responses and strategic arrangements at any time.

There is a special communication room next to the meeting room. All kinds of news from the front line will be sent directly to this communication room, and then sent directly to the meeting room by the telegraph operator.

The navy successfully intercepted the news of the fleets of the three Nordic countries, and the news that the fleets of the three countries were flying white flags was sent to the conference room one after another.

William III was in a good mood with several of his ministers and generals.

Chief of the General Staff Gneisenau had a happy face on his face:

"The king was successfully captured, and the war has already been more than half successful. The other half depends on the efforts of the boys in the army and air force."

Other ministers and generals also nodded.

William III also said with great satisfaction:
"Solve the Danish problem as soon as possible, and then go all out to deal with Austria."

The staff at the scene agreed with the generals and ministers.

Then William III asked a little worriedly:
"Should we inform Daming specifically about our actions and results of the campaign against Denmark?

"Will Daming make any demands or comment on our actions?"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Stein nodded and said:

"We should inform Da Ming, so that we can observe Da Ming's reaction more intuitively, so as to continue to analyze and clarify Da Ming's attitude towards the war."

Chief of Staff Gneisenau agreed:
"If Da Ming reprimands us strongly, or even threatens war, then our follow-up actions will have to be a little restrained.

"If Daming ignores us directly, then continue to act according to the plan."

William III thought for a while, approved the analysis of the prime minister and the chief of staff, and accepted their suggestions.

Arrange for correspondents to report relevant news to Daming through the channel of the League of Nations.

On the morning of February [-]th, the first year of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Wenhua Palace in the new capital of Yingtian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.

In the morning routine every day, the Minister of Honglu Temple will make a summary report to the emperor after sorting out the various news received throughout the day yesterday.

Emperor Zhu Jingyuan of the Ming Dynasty did not give any direct response in the early court.

After the morning dynasty ended, a group of important civil and military officials remained and held a small meeting in the small conference room in the emperor's office in Wenhua Palace.

The governor of the West Factory, Lu Liang, first explained the new news about the West Factory:

"Yesterday, Lucia's army and air force launched a surprise attack on Norway and Sweden, and Prussia launched a similar operation on Denmark itself.

"Prussia and the two Prussian navies mobilized eight battleships and four aircraft carriers to attack the fleet of the three monarchs in the northwestern part of Thailand.

"The Prussian official informed us of the results of the battle at sea through diplomatic channels, and confirmed that the monarchs of the three countries were captured.

"The West Factory got more details of the battle on land and at sea.

"The armies and air forces of Lucia and Prussia have adopted air-ground coordinated rapid assault tactics.

"Both achieved very good results in the battle.

“Lucia advanced the front line for at least sixty kilometers in one day, and the current forward momentum still shows no signs of weakening, and may even be faster.

“Because the Norwegian and Swedish troops deployed near the border were quickly eaten up.

“There is a massive armed vacuum behind the national borders.

"It may take days or even months for the two countries to organize a new line of defense again.

“At that point, they may have to fight it out on the outskirts of the capital.

"Because the Danish region is warmer than Norway and Sweden, and because Denmark itself is basically flat.

"So the Prussians are more efficient than the Lucians.

"They covered at least eighty kilometers in one day.

"At the same time, in the battle yesterday, the navies of the two countries applied their rehearsed tactics of coordinating aircraft carriers and main fleets.

"The aircraft carrier is responsible for reconnaissance and discovers the enemy's fleet.

"At the same time, the aircraft carrier is also responsible for forward warfare, and is required to destroy the enemy's fleet's operational capabilities as much as possible.

"And the main fleet launched a war of annihilation based on the news of the aircraft carrier.

"Both countries believe that the corresponding tactics are quite successful, and should continue to improve and expand the scope of application."

After listening to the general explanation, Zhu Jingyuan flipped through the written report handed over by Lu Liang, and then commented with a blank face:
"It's all undeclared war, the two lunatics, Lucia and Prussia, really used the permission I gave to the limit.

"I said that for those countries outside the alliance, they can handle and deal with them whatever they want.

“Now they are really using force completely unreasonably.

"The key is that they directly attacked the fleet of the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms.

"That is the fleet that returned after participating in my enthronement ceremony.

“They still have the nerve to report the situation directly to Honglu Temple through alliance channels?

"Are you trying to see how Daming and I will react?"

The courtiers at the scene were silent for a few seconds, and Zhu Zhaoxie, a military minister from the clan, was the first to speak:

"Your Majesty, I think that if I want to kill him, I will make him crazy.

"That's why I suggest that Honglu Temple should be deliberately weak on this matter.

"Unless Prussia or Lucia continue to grow bigger and have a real chance to unify the entire Pacific and Western continent, we don't need to directly intervene.

"Make full preparations for war step by step, and give a full blow at the end.

"With the new element bomb in hand, any form of resistance is pointless.

"Indeed, the more thoroughly the continent of Taixi is integrated, the larger the size of the troops gathered.

“The more Taixi living forces we can directly annihilate.

"It is more conducive to us to truly control the western continent."

Zhu Jingyuan laughed and said:
"Don't worry, uncle, I won't get angry because of this.

"This is the strategic direction we have already determined, and I have already known the emergence of this situation.

"Uncle Huang, just draw up the application plan related to the new elemental bomb.

"At the same time, Dijin, through the Huangzhuang Economic and Management Department, sent a notice to Xintianfu to make every effort to ensure that the production capacity of new element bombs is ramped up.

"I want to see two thousand bombs within three years." Da Zongbo sent a message to Prussia and Lucia through Honglu Temple.

"They are required to ensure the personal safety of the monarchs of the three countries, and to abide by the alliance's regulations in war.

"At the same time, a final reminder that even if the two countries launch a war against a country outside the alliance, they must inform Daming before doing so."

Military Minister Zhu Zhaoxie, Huangzhuang Headquarters Operations and Management Department Manager Zhu Zhujin, and Grand Uncle Shen Fu all bowed and agreed:

Shen Fu agreed with a relaxed tone:

"The ministers obey the order."

After Zhu Jingyuan arranged this matter, he turned to look at Jiuqing Sikong Liu Ruozhi, who was in charge of the industrial system:

"What is the progress of strategic missile and rocket-related projects?"

Liu Weizhi immediately got up and explained the situation:
"Your Majesty, the range of the experimental missile has successfully broken through a thousand kilometers.

"As long as you continue to enlarge the normal size of the rocket, it is not too difficult to achieve the target range of [-] kilometers.

"What's more, the rocket program is also going on in parallel.

"You need a rocket capable of sending a fake moon (satellite) into space, enough to drop a bomb tens of thousands of kilometers away.

"Based on the current research progress and investment, whether it is a launch vehicle or a strategic missile, an experimental finished product should be produced within two years.

"At present, the main difficulties and research directions of rocket and strategic missile projects are still guidance methods, control and communication methods.

"It is necessary to ensure that the missile can be delivered to the designated place, and that the rocket can fly to the designated coordinates.

"Currently, the accuracy of experimental missiles with a range of [-] kilometers is relatively limited.

"The error is still in the range of three to five kilometers.

"However, current radio detection equipment and transistor technology are rapidly upgrading.

“Existing ship-based and land-based conventional tactical missiles, and related technologies of turbojet engines can also provide reference.

"Tactical ballistic missiles with a range of [-] to [-] kilometers are now accurate to within one kilometer.

"For missiles with a range of less than 100 kilometers, if artificial radio remote control is used, the accuracy can be further compressed to less than [-] meters.

"Researchers are now confident that within the next three years, the range of strategic missiles will reach [-] kilometers and the error will be shortened to less than one kilometer.

"The research on the rocket itself is basically synchronized with the strategic missile.

"Practical launch vehicles are also expected to take three years to complete experimental finished products.

"The construction of the rocket launch base has now been fully rolled out.

“It is expected to be completed within two years.

"Just in time for the official launch test of a large rocket."

Listening to the report, Zhu Jingyuan tapped his finger on the table and thought:

"An error of three to five kilometers...if it is to be used in the military to deliver new element bombs to destroy the enemy's effective forces.

“The range of one thousand kilometers and the error of three to five kilometers are barely usable.

"As for the range of [-] kilometers, the error within one kilometer is enough to be used as a standing strategic weapon."

"Taixi's war should last at least three years...

"However, a weapon that will mature after three years may not be able to be used on the battlefield on a large scale within five years..."

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and then muttered a few words.

When the surrounding ministers heard this, they subconsciously thought that Zhu Jingyuan would order the mass production of missiles with a range of one thousand kilometers as soon as possible.

But Zhu Jingyuan didn't express all his thoughts.

The following thinking has already involved the memory of the previous life, so it is taken for granted and instinctively only considered in my heart.

The best partner of strategic missiles and nuclear bombs in the previous life has never been used in actual combat.

Especially the top-level strategic missiles, it is already in the 60s when they are actually in service, and of course there is no chance to participate in actual combat.

The bomber was fortunate enough to drop two atomic bombs in actual combat.

At the same time, America in the previous life has more powerful aviation technology than its old rival, Red Lucia.

Before the 60s, airdropping nuclear bombs with large bombers was a natural choice.

The United States used to maintain a bomber fleet to ensure that bombers with nuclear bombs were on standby in the sky at any time.

In the event of an unexpected situation, the bombers in the air will fly directly to the intended target.

This is also where strategic bombers are more flexible and convenient than strategic missiles.

When thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan added the last line of thought, and also gave his own direct order:
"It's a good thing we have bombers already in service...

"Although the bomber needs to be directly driven by the pilot, it still has certain risks and uncertainties.

"But now it is more flexible and convenient to use.

"Let the craftsmen working on strategic missile-related projects not be in a hurry and continue to advance step by step without forcing a rush.

"But you can try to install the atomic bomb on a tactical missile with a range of one or two hundred kilometers.

"At the same time, send a notice to Daming Military Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, Daming Aviation Machinery Company, and Daming Aviation Military Aircraft Manufacturing Factory.

"Speed ​​up the production of jet bombers with a flight range of more than [-] kilometers and a combat radius of more than [-] kilometers.

"Some non-critical components can be outsourced to civilian aircraft manufacturers."

The relevant personnel immediately stood up and agreed.

At the same time, everyone understood that what the emperor meant was to use it as long as it was needed, and would not forcefully pursue a certain weapon.

This approach is also completely reasonable and realistic.

The Daming Military Aviation Machine Factory is the aircraft factory of the former Daming Ministry of Industry and later the Ministry of Ordnance.

After the establishment of the government-run Daming Consortium, the corresponding industries were spun off and merged into the government-run consortium system.

At that time, a factory name used by regular manufacturers was specially formulated.

The factories affiliated to other institutions such as the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Industry are also named separately and merged into the official consortium system.

A yamen of the imperial court directly manages a factory exclusive to the department, which itself is a rule that is prone to corruption and small groups.

For more than 400 years in the Ming Dynasty, these directly managed industries under the Ministry of Industry and related yamen can be regarded as traditional.

It was not until the establishment of the government-operated consortium that this problem of modest size left over for many years was finally resolved.

At the same time, before Zhu Jingyuan succeeded to the throne, Daming Airlines under his own name was a private industry in name and did not have a license to produce military aircraft.

But in fact, this factory is just a military aircraft that has not produced finished products.

As long as it is not equipped with military weapons, it is not considered a military aircraft, and can be used as a military-civilian transport aircraft, trainer aircraft, performance aircraft, etc.

At the same time, the engine of Daming Airlines is also of the highest level in Ming Dynasty.

The airline has long supplied engines and various key components to the Ordnance Department and the Ming Dynasty Analytical Machine Factory.

After Zhu Jingyuan ascended the throne, the private properties under these personal names were collectively included in the properties directly under the new Emperor's Dashi Department.

It is also a matter of course to obtain the production license of military aircraft.

There are three factories: "Daming Airlines" of the food department, "Daming Aircraft" of the imperial consortium, and "Daming Military Aircraft" of the Ministry of Ordnance.

Now it is the Iron Triangle of the Ming Dynasty military aircraft industry.
