The Third Reich: I Became Emperor
Chapter 51
"Keep dropping bombs, don't stop"
"Drop all bombs and prepare to return."
"Yes!"
At this time, the German army had the upper hand. After hearing the order, all the Il-28 jet bombers dropped all their bombs.
When the huge bombs landed, there was a huge noise. Mushroom-shaped clouds rose into the sky. The strong airflow and shock waves shook the buildings and people on the ground to pieces.
In the palace, George V looked at the cabinet ministers in front of him with a miserable face.
"Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Why are the Germans still bombing? Where are our fighter planes? Why haven't we intercepted the enemy yet?"
"Wasn't the defense foolproof? Why was it attacked? Why was the loss so great?"
Looking at the furious king, all the cabinet ministers looked at each other without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, the German bombing has caused huge losses to the civilian population. According to incomplete statistics, at least 100,000 civilians died in the bombing. The losses in residential areas were particularly severe, with nearly 300,000 civilians left homeless. The total property losses are estimated to exceed 500 million pounds."Fatty Qiu sighed and stood up to speak.
Upon hearing this, George VI's veins bulged, but he still held back:"What about the military?"
"The Air Force lost nearly 2,000 fighter planes, and the arsenals also suffered heavy losses. Many arsenals were engulfed in fire, and workers were also buried in the sea of fire. It will take at least six months to resume production."Fat Qiu said with a stiff upper lip.
He did not expect that the loss this time would be so heavy. The Royal Air Force, which had high hopes, actually suffered heavy losses. Most of the remaining pilots were novices and could not be reused.
"Speak? Why don't you speak? Are you all mute? Don't you always think victory is in sight? Why are you all mute now? Looking at the silent crowd, George VI said angrily again.
Several cabinet ministers could only lower their heads. They did not expect the war situation to change so much. Finally, they could only look at the prime minister.
Since he was in the highest position, he was naturally the one to take the blame.
Fatty Qiu looked at the eyes of the crowd, sighed in his heart, and continued:"Your Majesty, this time we can't blame the air force entirely. The German army has a new type of fighter plane, which is too advanced. Our fighter planes can't stop it at all."
"J-5 jet fighter? The new fighter reported by Admiral Cunningham?"George VI said angrily:"What I am asking now is, can London still be defended? Will it be attacked again?"
Hearing this, Fatty Qiu was very unsure, because he didn't know whether he could hold it or not. Even Marshal Dowding said in the telegram intentionally or unintentionally that he hoped he would be allowed to resign.
Because the result of the air battle made him despair, the battle loss ratio was close to one hundred to one, which was absolutely unprecedented, even if Marshal Dowding sent Comet jet fighters later, it still didn't work.
Their jet fighters faced the German jet fighters, and they could only be hammered to pieces.
As a result, their own fighter planes were hammered to pieces, London was bombed into ruins, and the indirect losses were difficult to estimate.
""Your Majesty, the German fighter planes are too advanced. We have no way to deal with them for the time being." Fatty Qiu said with a stiff face.
Looking at Fatty Qiu's expression, King George knew that there was really no way. At the same time, he suppressed his anger. He knew that this matter must be handled well, otherwise it would be really finished. After all, losing half of the air force would be a fatal blow to their prestige. After thinking for a while, King George asked:"If we buy another batch of fighter planes, can we defend London?"
"It's difficult, because the generation gap of aircraft is too big. Unless we can develop more advanced jet fighters, we can't compete with the German army."Fat Qiu shook his head and said.
To be honest, he was a little desperate, but the anger in his heart told him that he must hold on and never surrender.
Otherwise, he would have wanted to take care of this mess a long time ago. There is no island in the Atlantic Ocean that belongs to the British Empire. They have all been sold out.
There are not many places to sell now. Even the oil share in Persia has been sold a lot. If it weren't for the blood transfusion from India, the so-called British Empire would have collapsed a long time ago.
"Then go and develop a new fighter plane."King George said solemnly
""Yes! Your Majesty!" Fatty Qiu replied helplessly.
"No matter what, London must be defended and must not be bombed again. Tell our allies that we hope to have more fighter planes. Tell them that without fighter planes, we will not be able to defend the British Isles. Without the British Isles, everything will be ruined."George VI took a deep breath and said loudly
"Yes, I understand."Fat Qiu responded quickly.
