Chapter 328 The Black Hawk Empire's Airstrikes Arrive First

Andrei sighed, slumped into a soft chair without any regard for appearances, tossed his military cap aside, and said:
"Sigh, our feelings have really faded. I finally got promoted to general and came home to visit, but judging from this attitude, why aren't they welcoming me?"

Upon hearing this, General Constantine couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If it were the old Andrei, who had suddenly achieved such great success and was eager to come in front of him to show off, he felt he could understand it.

But ever since Andrei was injured in the brain by a shell, he has grown up quickly and is much more mature than before.

Therefore, General Constantine believed that it was impossible for Andrei to suddenly lose his mind and abandon his increasingly large army group just because he had been promoted to general, and then come back to visit him with only a very small number of men.

Not to mention that before he returned, he moved quite a few planes to the Petrograd field airfield.

Therefore, he was quite certain that Andrei was definitely preparing to launch a large-scale military operation, but he didn't know the specifics of what it was.

Seeing that General Constantine didn't seem to be going to reply after he made a joke, Andrei also adjusted his expression slightly and suppressed his smile.

"Alright, going home to check on things is indeed only a small part of the reason for my sudden return. Next, I plan to have my air force use Petrograd as an air base to launch a large-scale air strike against the Black Hawk Empire's rear!"

Upon hearing Andrei's words, General Constantine's eyes widened instantly.

"Wait a minute, what did you say? You're planning to have your air force launch airstrikes against the Black Hawk Empire's rear? Are you sure the air force shouldn't be bombing enemy forces at the front lines next?"

General Constantine spent a long time gesturing on the map, but still couldn't figure out what place Andrei was planning to bomb.

In his view, it was simply a pipe dream to send a large number of air force units flying at high speed across the border to reach the interior of the Black Hawk Empire and bomb them!

With such a large air force, the Black Hawk Empire would use various means to intercept them along the way, not to mention the enemy also has a large number of ground-based air defense forces.

So, how did Andrei's plane manage to fly all the way there?

Using the map as a guide, Andrei gave General Constantine a general explanation of his air raid plan, and also described the performance of his aircraft.

"...In short, these new aircraft I have are completely different from the airships of the past, and they can naturally adopt completely different air combat strategies than before!"

"In terms of straight-line distance, my air force only needs to fly for less than three hours to reach the vicinity of East Prussia, and then they can launch a massive bombing raid on the numerous factories in Königsberg!"

At this point, Andrei's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist tightly.

"It's time for our air force to launch a counterattack. We should never continue to be on the defensive as we have in the past. Now that we have the opportunity, we should let the Black Hawk Empire experience our anger!"

“Their rear has been peaceful for too long. These guys don’t even have a real sense of war. We need to make them feel fear. We need to reduce their rear’s production capacity and weaken their war potential!”

Of course, despite saying that, Andrei had no intention of bombing enemy residential areas.

Although Andrei never quite agreed with the idea that civilians are innocent in war, since civilians would support the war, he also disliked wielding the sword against civilians.

Bombing enemy residential areas might frighten them, but it's more likely to enrage the Black Hawk Empire, prompting them to retaliate even more fiercely.

Andrei's bombing operation this time requires a precise strike, like a scalpel, and even at night, or in some situations with low visibility, players can roughly determine where this area is by using their maps.

When assigning bombing missions, Andrei had already explicitly forbidden players from bombing residential areas.

But the factory absolutely must be bombed. It is the enemy's war potential. The Black Hawk Army's ability to advance so rapidly on the front lines is inseparable from the factories that produce continuously in the rear.

After hearing Andrei's plan, General Constantine's first reaction was that the plan seemed too risky.

Based on his intuition, he believed that for an air force to launch long-range strikes, it would be very difficult unless it could gain a sufficient advantage in air combat.

After all, these airships don't fly particularly fast, so when they are deployed, they are quickly discovered by the enemy and then encounter all sorts of chaotic interceptions.

In a long-range raid, it would be virtually impossible for an airship to silently bypass enemy defenses and appear directly overhead.

However, after hearing Andrei's description of the air raid plan, he was indeed tempted.

"By the way, have you briefed Moscow on this plan?"

Andrei nodded; that was natural.

His command at the front was one thing, but making such a large-scale military operation naturally required a proper explanation to Moscow, and incidentally, he also hoped to extract an extra batch of fuel from Moscow.

Although his player air force operations seem to require little fuel consumption, Moscow is unaware of this.

Free fuel? Why not take it? Especially since his armored units have been constantly short of fuel.

Before using armored units, he didn't really realize how much oil guzzlers they were, but after using a large number of armored units, Andrei truly understood what an oil guzzler was!
No wonder the Germans were so desperate for energy back then. If they ran out of oil, all their war machines would be nothing but scrap metal and wouldn't be able to run at all!
Seeing Andrei nod, General Constantine picked up the phone and casually said:
"Simply reporting it isn't enough; we need to leverage the power of our family to create momentum for us in Moscow!"

"You may not realize it, but this air raid plan of yours is unprecedented since the Empire started the war. If we can succeed, this air raid will be of extremely important significance!"

"This marks the first time the Cambrian Empire's air force has launched a counterattack against the enemy's rear, and it also marks the first time we have dealt a real blow to the Black Hawk Empire's rear, unlike at the beginning of the war when we underestimated the enemy and advanced recklessly, resulting in the loss of a series of troops!"

Recalling the scene at the beginning of the war, General Constantine's expression immediately turned grim.

He had to admit that he always felt the generals who were in charge back then were incredibly stupid.

They clearly have a considerable number of armored units at their disposal, but they don't know how to use them and are busy using their armored units to engage in frontal battles!

In the end, their armored forces were completely destroyed by enemy fire. As a result, they were unknowingly outflanked by enemy armored forces from both sides. Air support was completely absent, and the rear troops were completely disconnected!
This resulted in the Cambrian Empire losing a large number of its armored forces at the beginning of the war. Before the replacements arrived, they had little to no means of dealing with the enemy's armored forces.

Andrei listened quietly as General Constantine went on and on, making numerous phone calls to Moscow. No one knew who he was calling in Moscow, but he made a lot of calls.

Seeing his animated expression and the way he was talking so much, Andrei suddenly felt like laughing for some reason.

From his perspective, at least, General Constantine's appearance was rather comical.

After a quick dinner at home, Andrei immediately headed towards the air force base to see his players off.

This air combat mission also marks the first time players have conducted strategic bombing, which is undoubtedly a completely new experience.

It was already evening, and the sun was about to set, but under the twilight, all the planes on the airport were ready for takeoff.

If it were an ordinary soldier, Andrei would definitely give an impromptu speech here, and while he's at it, he'd also activate his imperial aura to boost their morale.

But these guys in front of him are all players, and Andrei doesn't have anything to say to them.

In any case, players don't care too much about the NPC dialogue in the game. For most players, this content is something to skip, as they are all eager to complete their tasks.

Just as Andrei was about to give the order for the players to start the plane, he suddenly heard a sharp air raid siren.

Suddenly, a huge air raid siren blared over the city's public address system, accompanied by a particularly rapid clicking sound.

This can be considered a kind of air raid alarm method of the Petrograd Broadcasting Station. Under normal circumstances, the firing pin will make a click every five seconds. The sound is very calm and the citizens have long been used to this sound.

But when the clicking sound changed from once every five seconds to twice a second, they immediately knew that an enemy air raid was coming!

"Quickly, get into the air-raid shelters! Everyone, hide!"

Soldiers were shouting at the panicked crowd in the street, telling them to find a place to hide.

Unfortunately, Petrograd doesn't have many air-raid shelters or many places to take refuge; not all buildings have basements.

To remedy this rather awkward situation, a steel mill in Petrograd suddenly produced a brand-new table some time ago, which can also serve as a makeshift air-raid shelter.

This table looks remarkably like a giant iron cage, or a semi-enclosed iron box with numerous ventilation openings.

Normally, people can simply cover the table with a tablecloth and use it as is. But in critical moments, they only need to remove the tablecloth immediately, open the small door on the side of the table, and crawl into this huge iron box.

Under normal circumstances, if there are heavy objects or the house collapses, this iron box will not be crushed. People hiding inside can at least avoid being killed by falling bricks and collapsing buildings.

In addition, this metal box usually stores some food, which can help those hiding inside hold out while waiting for rescue.

At least in theory, this is the best air defense measure they can popularize for ordinary citizens. As for what to do if you are directly hit by a bomb?
Then you can only accept your fate. If you're really that unlucky, even if you dig an air-raid shelter under your own house, it might still collapse and bury you.

Meanwhile, on the tops of some large enough concrete buildings, anti-aircraft guns that had been prepared beforehand unleashed a barrage of firepower into the sky.

Petrograd's large number of anti-aircraft guns was largely due to the players under Andrei's command.

Prior to this, Andrei had organized players to build various defensive fortifications in Petrograd, and among these fortifications, anti-aircraft guns were naturally an important type of defensive fortification.

Therefore, players had already built up a bunch of bang-bang cannons in various places in Petrograd, forming an anti-aircraft firepower with an unimaginable density.

Watching the barrage of artillery fire being fired into the sky, Andrei felt a slight sense of relief. Although the enemy's large airships were gradually approaching, their anti-aircraft firepower was not to be underestimated.

With each small incident, the combined effect will be enough to severely damage even their Void Shield, not to mention the large number of air defense balloons over Petrograd.

"Speaking of which, will these air-raid shelter balloons actually be of any use after they arrive in this world?"

Looking at the air-raid shelters strung together overhead, Andrei muttered to himself with some concern.

The principle behind this thing is very simple: it consists of a series of extremely large hydrogen balloons connected to huge steel cables, which create obstacles for enemy forces in the sky.

By connecting them in series, these air-raid balloons can easily reach altitudes of over four thousand meters.

In other words, enemy aircraft and airships flying at altitudes below 4,000 meters could easily crash into these steel cables if they were not careful.

Normally, to avoid accidentally crashing into air defense balloons and suffering a fatal accident, air force units either have to expend great effort to destroy these air defense balloons before engaging in combat, or they are forced to increase their flight altitude.

These air-raid balloons are made of special materials, and although they are relatively fragile, they are not so easy to destroy.

While the enemy air force was busy dealing with these anti-aircraft balloons, the ground forces were able to deliver a fatal firepower strike.

Andrei's concern stemmed mainly from his uncertainty about whether this thing could withstand the enemy's laser weapons.
If it can't withstand the enemy's laser weapons, then this thing is probably not very reliable!
Under Andrei's worried gaze, the large airships that approached simultaneously emitted red lasers from their surfaces.

Although these red lasers appear very small from the ground due to their distance, they do not have the extremely dazzling effect one would expect from a close-up view.

However, when the two laser beams were fired at the two air defense balloons in the sky, the two air defense balloons instantly exploded into a huge fireball in the sky.

"Oh my God..."

Seeing such a horrific scene, Andrei could hardly bear to look at it; the scene was truly brutal.

Once the air-raid shelter balloons lost their traction, the thick steel cables that had been suspending them fell downwards and crashed heavily to the ground.

When this thing falls, due to its weight and speed, it also becomes a rather deadly weapon.

Some houses were accidentally hit by this thing, and their roofs were smashed with a crack, looking like flowerpots that had been shattered by a whip.

As more and more airships gradually poured into the sky, the enemy's bombing began.

"Damn it, the repair shop has been bombed!"

When Andrei saw the smoke and flames in the distance, he quickly determined the direction and figured out what the bombed building was.

Katyusha's Titan armor was repaired here, and at the same time, her skull master was modified from this factory.

Unfortunately, a large airship from the Black Hawk Empire withstood multiple anti-aircraft guns from below and slowly made its way to the factory, where it began a fierce bombardment.

Although the bombing accuracy of this large airship was not very good due to its flight altitude, when there were enough bombs, the bombing accuracy of the airship became less important.

Numerous bombs rained down, quickly merging across the ground to form a series of massive blast zones.

Looking around, thick black smoke and flames shot into the sky, quickly forming a carpet-like shape on the ground.

It's unknown if there's anything left in that factory that can be salvaged, but fortunately it's not working hours and the workers have already left the factory.

Otherwise, Petrograd would have lost at least a thousand skilled mechanics in just this round of bombing!
The bombing did not stop there; other factories were also bombed by the enemy. However, during this time, the player's planes had already swooped in.

"Damn it! They seem to have way too many airships!"

As one player flew, he carefully counted the number of airships that were currently moving overhead, and his expression became serious.

Four Brandenburg-class large airships and 20 medium-sized escort airships formed a massive aerial fleet in the sky.

Although there seemed to be no escorting airships in this air fleet, the player's air force was a little confused about what was going on, since small airships were the easiest way to score points.

Even without those small airships, this air fleet still exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.

"Ready, release our smoke! Let's test the effect of the newly modified smoke grenades!" Suddenly, a player shouted, and then quickly activated an extra mechanism on the plane.

After being modified by a group of skilled players, many of the player fighter jets that launched the attack were equipped with several large smoke grenades with a caliber of over 100 mm.

As a player, who was lying on the fighter jet and taking off with it, pulled the tow rope, the smoke grenades were instantly activated, spraying out large amounts of smoke around the aircraft!

The moment the smoke appeared, players felt their vision was severely impaired. Apart from a small strip of smoke directly in front of them that could still be barely seen due to the airflow, the sides were filled with billowing smoke.

At the same time, the laser emitters on the enemy airship immediately fired, but compared to the damage caused by the previous lasers, the effect of this laser was significantly smaller.

"Well done! The smoke protection we developed is indeed effective!"

"But this thing is really obstructing our view. Is there any better way?"

Players cheered excitedly, but some expressed their dissatisfaction.

Not all players can fly normally with such a limited view. Some players find the terrible perspective unbearable and feel dizzy.

In fact, Andrei did see some players get dizzy while piloting the plane; they probably confused the sky with the ground.

Even though the plane wasn't damaged, after the smoke protection was activated, it spun around and plummeted straight down to the ground, in a completely vertical dive!

"What the hell is this? Did the enemy put smoke grenades on the plane?"

Upon witnessing this scene, a Black Hawk soldier couldn't help but shout in shock.

They had seen the enemy use many reckless tactics, but this was the first time they had ever seen them attach smoke grenades to their planes and spray smoke everywhere!

It has to be said that this kind of fighting style is really chaotic to a certain extent. They simply can't imagine what kind of vision the other driver is experiencing at this moment.
"Don't just stand there, open fire and shoot their planes down!"

With the officer's roar, several 20mm machine guns on the side of an airship immediately spewed out deadly flames.

After a series of adjustments, these Black Hawk Empire airships also enhanced their anti-aircraft firepower, replacing many of their original 7.92mm machine guns with 20mm autocannons.

Unfortunately, with the players' support, most of the planes summoned by the players have relatively strong survivability, while the 7.92mm machine guns are really not very effective.

Instead of hoping to use this thing to deal with players' rapidly advancing planes, they might as well hope that it gets lucky and kills the enemy pilot in one go!

After an aircraft was destroyed by enemy machine gun fire, it spun and plummeted into the sky, leaving a long column of smoke in its wake. The scene looked somewhat tragic.

However, a few attack aircraft took advantage of this opportunity to get close to a large airship and then launched a barrage of rockets.

These rockets narrowly escaped the enemy's air shield and struck their airships directly.

Amidst the gasps of a group of Black Hawk soldiers, they watched helplessly as their airship exploded and began to slowly plummet to the ground.

Although some Black Hawk soldiers managed to deploy their parachutes and escape before the airship crashed, they were only a very small number of lucky ones.

Most people didn't have time to deploy their parachutes before the airship crashed; they were either blown to bits or crashed to their deaths in despair.

Of course, those who successfully completed the skydive weren't necessarily lucky.

The citizens of Petrograd, who were being subjected to massive enemy bombing, were extremely angry, and even the soldiers in the city were furious.

Perhaps after capturing the pilots, they wouldn't kill them outright, considering their importance, but finding a way to torture them would still be a possibility.

Especially with angry citizens, pilots had better pray they didn't fall into their hands.

After all, the military is organized and disciplined, and will at least take some things into consideration. But when the anger of the citizens rises to their heads, they won't care about so much.

"That's strange. What are these airships doing here? I have a feeling they're not just here to bomb?"

Andrei looked at the airships in front of him with some surprise, watching the enemy's air fleet continuously unleash firepower on the ground.

Although they did carry out bombing, most of their firepower was currently busy clearing the anti-aircraft fire from the rooftops, as if they were clearing a path.

"General, look! What's that? It doesn't look like one of our aircraft, does it?"

Just then, a ground crew soldier who ran over pointed to the sky in horror, his eyes widening in surprise.

When Andrei saw the enormous figures flashing by in the distance, he was also shocked by them.

"Holy crap... Holy crap! Is the Black Hawk Empire's research and development speed this insane?"

"Are you kidding me? My plane was only unveiled a short time ago, how come it's already been pirated so quickly?"

At that moment, Andrei really wanted to curse.

Look at the Black Hawk Empire's research and development speed, and then look at our own research and development speed. Why is there such a big difference between the two sides?
The Black Hawk Empire had nothing; apart from salvaging some of their own wreckage, their research foundation was practically nonexistent.

But with Andrei, the Moscow research institute not only received prototypes from him, but he also provided them with a ready-made production line so they could directly manufacture prototypes!

Even so, the Black Hawk Empire's aircraft still managed to achieve a breakthrough first, and the result of this breakthrough was simply too extraordinary.

Andrei was somewhat confused about what exactly the Black Hawk Empire was using as a basis for its research.

He glanced at them and thought the dozen or so huge planes looked a bit like the American Twin Demons, because the design of that thing was indeed very typical.

By comparing the size of these aircraft with other airships, Andrei discovered that this thing was probably as big as the American B-29!
More than a dozen massive bombers, accompanied by hundreds of black-painted fighter jets, were hurtling past at an astonishing speed.

The white nose section is painted with a huge black eagle with outstretched wings, and there is also an Iron Cross symbol on the wings. These aircraft are clearly equipment of the Black Hawk Empire!
"Damn it! Contact the ground anti-aircraft artillery immediately and tell them to stop attacking the enemy airships for now. Let the other air forces handle those damned shields!"

"Everyone, tell them to shoot down the enemy planes immediately. Target those planes whose designs are drastically different from ours, and give them a good beating!"

Andrei shouted at the soldiers around the airport, "What's the point of these guys being so busy targeting enemy airships?"

Taking down those planes is the most important thing. The airships' shields are too thick. It would be better to let the players find ways to deal with them by ramming or using rockets!
Meanwhile, the player's planes also began a fierce aerial battle with the Black Hawk Empire's aircraft.

Various machine gun and cannon fire rang out continuously, and a barrage of bullets appeared in the sky from time to time. When hundreds of planes were mixed together and engaged in dogfights, the scene instantly turned into chaos.

However, overall, the aircraft of both sides are still easy to distinguish.

The Black Hawk Empire's aircraft are predominantly black and white, with a paint scheme that resembles that of the Black Templar Chapter.

Meanwhile, most of the players' planes are painted in green and red and yellow, and the differences between the two sides' planes are also quite large. Unless both sides are extremely blind, it is very difficult to confuse each other's planes.

Andrei's focus at this moment was on the skills of these Black Hawk Empire pilots and the quality of the aircraft they were flying.
It's unclear whether the British Spitfire fighters mainly used by his players are stronger than the fighters developed by the Black Hawk Empire on the other side.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the players do have the advantage in terms of pure fighter jet combat.

The engines of Black Hawk Empire fighter jets are clearly underpowered, as they are only just beginning to develop this technology. Therefore, compared to the player's fighter jets, their aircraft have no speed advantage whatsoever.

But it's unclear whether the Black Hawk Empire simply adopted the airship's combat strategy or if they inherently favored heavy firepower. After careful observation, Andrei discovered that all of these fighter jets were equipped with at least two 20mm cannons!

This thing has much stronger firepower than a machine gun. If you accidentally get hit by it, your plane will be either destroyed or severely damaged instantly.

In comparison, the firepower fired by the player is not as effective at damaging enemies.

However, thanks to their agility, it seems that it's not so easy for most Black Hawk pilots to hit the player's plane.

In terms of fighter jets, the player still has a certain advantage, but in terms of bombers, Andrei was completely shocked by this strange thing.

The Black Hawk Empire's Griffin bomber is completely different from the design concept that Andrei has seen before. Perhaps it is because this thing is much larger, so it carries more and more advanced technology!

A player's fighter jet approached, and a laser immediately shot out from the aircraft's belly, instantly burning down two of the player's fighter jets!

When the player tried to take down the bomber with machine gun fire, a semi-transparent shield suddenly appeared on its surface!
This is unbelievable! This thing even has a Void Shield!
"Well, thinking about it, it makes sense. It's not surprising that this thing has a void shield, considering it's almost as big as a Titan mech."

Andrei shrugged, trying to reassure himself:

"If you put the Void Shield from the Titan onto this thing, it seems like there's nothing it can't withstand. Besides, the Black Hawk Empire can also install shields on their escort airships!"

That being said, having these shields and not having them are two completely different things!

Its powerful defensive capabilities, coupled with the numerous machine guns, cannons, and laser crystals surrounding the aircraft, make this thing extremely survivable!
After all that effort, Andrei still hadn't seen the player shoot down a single enemy bomber; instead, fighter planes kept suffering losses.

Just then, a soldier suddenly ran over and shouted to Andrei:
"General, there's a phone call for you!"

Andrei quickly ran back to the command post and answered the phone.

"Andrei, what's going on? Can our air force intercept the enemy?"

"When did the Black Hawk Empire acquire so many aircraft? Has our technology been stolen?"

As soon as he answered the phone, Andrei recognized the voice:
The person speaking to him was none other than his father, General Constantine.

"I don't know either. All I can say is that I'm telling my air force units to do their best, but the situation is indeed a bit bad!"

"Aircraft development isn't our responsibility. Whether technology has been stolen is something Moscow needs to figure out. But I must say, the Black Hawk Empire's development speed is definitely abnormal!"

At this point, Andrei couldn't help but feel an urge to curse.

Who knows what the Black Hawk Empire's research institute used to make its research speed so abnormally fast?

He had always thought that the Black Hawk Empire had been somewhat corrupted by Khorne, but if he remembered correctly, the Chaos Blessing that could increase technological research seemed to come from the Bluebirds, right?
Could it be that the Great Bluebird has had some influence on the Black Hawk Empire, or that someone in the Black Hawk Empire's research department is a believer in the Great Bluebird?
Otherwise, the speed of this research is truly abnormal to an unbelievable degree!

"Andrei, tell your pilot to take cover! I'm preparing to activate a special weapon!"

Just as they were talking on the phone, Andrei suddenly noticed that on a small hill in the distance, a fortress had its roof suddenly opened, and a huge coil gun was protruding from it.

When he saw the cannon, Andrei's eyes lit up instantly, because he remembered the same thing he had seen in Pskov!
"Holy crap, an electromagnetic railgun?! We have one in Petrograd?"

Upon hearing Andrei's question, General Constantine snorted and said:
"Of course we have that thing, and we should thank you for seizing an airship from the enemy, which allowed us to crack their core energy technology!"

"So now the production of these electromagnetic guns is no longer a problem. We don't need to rely on mages to power them; we can just use the energy cores directly!"

The original electromagnetic cannons used mages as living energy sources.

As a result, if the Cambrian Empire wanted to use these things, it not only needed highly skilled mages, but they could only unleash one or two shots at the most critical moments, otherwise they would face the problem of energy depletion.

But with the energy core, it's like putting a battery in this cannon, and all of this is no longer a problem.

Even without powerful mages, they can easily activate this thing and fire it continuously in a short period of time, as long as they don't exceed the cannon's cooling capacity!
Although the Cambrian Empire also faces various problems in producing energy cores, one of the most fundamental issues is the severe shortage of mages, resulting in a lack of people available to recharge the energy.

But at the very least, with the continuous help of a large number of psionicists, this thing can now be used on a small scale.

The instant General Constantine gave the order, Andrei quickly wrote a transfer notification and sent it to the players in the midst of the battle.

After receiving the notification, most players, except for a few who were caught up in the action, quickly took their planes and left the area.

Before the Black Hawk Empire could figure out what was going on, they suddenly saw coil guns mounted on the hilltop, and the next moment, their vision was covered by a large amount of electric current.

As if a bolt of lightning had suddenly shot out, a massive amount of thunderstorm was instantly unleashed, striking the Black Hawk Empire's fleet in the blink of an eye.

The two massive Griffin bombers were instantly shattered by this thing, and their shielded fuselages were also blown to pieces by the explosive force of the lightning, crashing to the ground engulfed in flames.

Even three of the Black Hawk's escort airships were not spared, exploding into a large fireball in mid-air before slowly falling to the ground.

When Andrei saw the terrifying damage this thing had inflicted, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he asked General Constantine with a hint of resentment:
"Grandpa, I say, since we've hidden such a powerful secret weapon, why didn't we use it from the beginning?"

"Honestly, if this thing had been brought out in the first place, I believe we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!"

When asked about this, General Constantine shrugged on the other end of the phone, looking utterly helpless.
"Damn it, do you think I don't want to get this thing out as soon as possible? But this thing needs to be warmed up before it can fire!"

“This thing is very difficult to start up, unlike those traditional cannons. In addition, the safety device of this thing is not very reliable, so I dare not install the energy core in advance. When using it, I have to insert the energy core into it first.”

"If it weren't for this, I would have liked to unveil this thing sooner, but it just can't do it!"

After being suddenly attacked by several lightning bolts from different directions, the Black Hawk Empire's air force was clearly thrown into disarray.

However, it must be said that the morale of these guys' air force is really high. Even after enduring that round of lightning strikes, they still want to continue bombing!
Perhaps it's because when they saw this weapon before, they all found that it couldn't be reused multiple times in a short period of time?
But this time, they were facing completely different weapons.

(End of this chapter)
