This heretic cannot be burned, he must be hung up and whipped!

The medical staff came forward and checked the patient's vital signs. They said they could try to save him.

"Then start the rescue and take him away."

......perception......

Starting circulation...........blocking main....cardioplegic injection completed...

".....I'm sorry... My technique isn't very good and I've made you suffer again."

"It's okay, Mia. This person's origins are unknown anyway. He might be a heretic prisoner. No one rescued him for so long. He's probably a worthless heretic."

"No, I'm going to call the doctor!" "Mia, our technical priest hasn't got a doctorate yet." "I don't care! She's a doctor of medicine!"

PhD......

.......hand!

pay close attention!

Hold my hand tight!!

"Amiya?! Holy crap, that's awesome! I made her a doctorate, how can I get along with this glowing person!"

The player—well, should we call him Doctor—heard a few fragments of words in a trance, and his chaotic brain automatically started to associate and supplement keywords to fill in the blanks.

"Huh?! You actually know her name?"

The doctor looked up, but instead of pinching the cute Amiya's little hand, he grabbed the bone saw in the hands of a fully armed nurse.

"This operator, I think I can still save him."

The doctor looked around. Everyone was wearing heavy protective clothing, with no other features visible except for their human form. They were all holding cold weapons, with only a few holding firearms.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there an integration outside--" The Doctor suddenly thought that he could not reveal the truth that he was actually a time traveler and not the original Doctor, and thought that he could not arouse their suspicion.

"Is there something trying to break in from outside?"

Everyone in the basement looked at each other and nodded.

The doctor said, "It's okay. Let's evacuate first and leave as soon as possible, otherwise an evil woman with a pointy head will try to kill my brother. By the way, why do you have crosses on your arms? Who are you?"

Dr. Ying Lengqi asked even though he knew the answer.

"We are the Knights of Rhode Island?" answered the short person whose voice sounded like a girl.

"That's a sure thing," the doctor thought.

Red Tide: 1921: Chapter 82: New Strategic Bombers and Antibiotics

"Tell those military scientists that I am now giving them orders in the name of Om Messiah!"

Neos said:

"Today's twin-engine large bombers are useless. The next generation of large bombers shouldn't be made of wood, but metal! We don't lack that little man-hour and metal. The Atlantic route will be opened soon."

The more powerful engine was given to England. Rolls-Royce's liquid-cooled piston V12 Merlin engine had already been tested for the first time, allowing them to design a large long-range bomber according to Rolls-Royce's engine technical specifications.

At least four rounds, with a practical ceiling exceeding the effective range of the Heretic 66mm anti-aircraft gun at an altitude of 7500 meters. The maximum ceiling must be above 10000 meters. Our boost chamber and two-stage turbocharger technology are already mature, allowing researchers to develop them.

My requirements for the range are not high - 2800 km. I want our bombers to be able to take off from Paris and bomb Alexandria, and then go along Greece through the Black Sea and land in Ukraine.

Our high-grade aviation fuel extraction technology is still immature. Our main oil field production area - Libya is controlled by Mammon. Two-thirds of Romania has fallen. The Baku oil fields of the Russian Empire are also in the midst of war. The oil fields in Norway in the North Sea are our largest oil production areas in Europe. Therefore, the forces of hell in Finland need to be contained.

This strategic bomber can carry more than 3.5 tons of ammunition. Our secret super bomb project has been launched. Damn it, I'm going to blow up those little bastards in hell!

In addition to strategic bombers, we need a monoplane fighter with lower performance than the Homing Pigeon interceptor, but with the range to escort frontline tactical bombers. While the heretic fighters are currently being outmatched by our Homing Pigeon interceptors at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the Homing Pigeon's problems are well known to you and me—their rocket engines only allow them to fly far enough to defend airfields, which is unacceptable.

"Don't think this large bomber can only be used to drop bombs," Neos said. "In addition to horizontal bombing, it can also transport large numbers of airborne troops over long distances, and can even land on landships! When we plan to attack North Africa—or even land on the Arabian Peninsula—this aircraft will come in handy!"

Everyone nodded. Neos's idea ignited everyone's dreams. They needed to accumulate strength, unite more closely, combine the vast resources of the Americas, clench their fists, and strike hard at the heretics!

The meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning. For hours, Neos offered many insights to both the Navy and the Air Force. Often, scientists lack only ideas.

After the meeting was over and the others left, Neo asked Ersba to continue an in-depth discussion with Dominica.

"Our technology isn't enough to completely crush Hell. If we want to win this war, we'll need to rely on our sheer size to crush the enemy," Neos said. "Besides our own efforts, Europe also needs a range of other means—breaking the blockade of the heretic submarines and opening up the Atlantic route."

Hearing Neos' words, Dominica pointed to one of the folders piled up on the table and said, "Your Majesty, are you referring to the aircraft carrier?

I will let the EU officials handle the design of the main aircraft carrier and the escort aircraft carrier."

Now, there is a consensus in the European Union on developing the navy and aircraft carriers.

Neos nodded, then shook his head. "That's not all. During my discussions with the British, I discovered some British scientists with great potential. For the sake of the European Union's overall technological development and to help break through the Atlantic blockade, these people should be given more opportunities."

Dominica motioned for Neos to continue.

"The heretic submarines' wolf pack tactics require radio communication, and they need to surface to communicate with each other. We need to think of a way to decipher their radio codes. If only we could capture a heretic submarine and obtain the complete code book. That would be great."

British mathematicians are very good. They even have a special code-breaking department. They give these people more opportunities and encourage them with higher bonuses. I am not a mathematician. I don’t understand advanced mathematics. Even if you kill me, I still can’t solve those complex mathematical problems. But it doesn’t matter. I respect knowledge.

"Don't spread this news. We've made a breakthrough in biotechnology at our Carpathian base. Guess what those scientists came up with?"

"Let me guess—a new biological weapon?"

"No, it's antibiotics," Neos said.

"Dr. Fleming is its inventor. A few years ago, he published a research paper titled "On the Bactericidal Effect of Fungal Cultures" in the British Journal of Experimental Pathology. He was then noticed by the Strategic Prophecy Committee and sent to the dungeon.

He discovered antibiotics at that time, but he himself was unable to invent a technology to purify antibiotics. It was not until now that medical penicillin was actually extracted.

This thing is simply miraculous in treating the plague. A small amount of it can save people from death even if sulfa drugs cannot cure the disease. I can even feel from the subspace that several patients who were about to see me were brought back to reality by this penicillin.

This thing is our secret weapon, it will definitely give the Plague Lord a big surprise, so let's produce it secretly first."

Historically, penicillin was not purified until 1939 by British Australian Walter Florey and German-born Boris Chain, and was successfully used on patients in 1941.

The Dominican Republic quickly agreed to Neos' proposal and handed it over to the officials of the European Association. By then, it was already dawn.

----------

It was still early morning in England.

The climate in Britain was not cold at that time. The grass on the fields outside was covered with frost, and in the shipyard not far away, the workers who had worked hard all night were stopping to rest.

A Germanic face appeared in the shipyard. The workers in the shipyard were no longer surprised. Recently, such people came here frequently.

"Our project is progressing well. This is indeed the fastest solution."

Beside Rudel, the EU's designated representative in the UK, a British rear admiral said to Rudel:

"We have urgently modified five tankers. Because there are too many submarines in the Atlantic, our tankers need to maintain a certain level of maneuverability and speed, which makes them have a relatively small displacement. Each modified tanker can now take off and land twenty bombers or anti-submarine aircraft. This way, we can build fewer cruiser hulls. The only problem now is that we are not receiving our bombers fast enough."

The escort aircraft carrier converted from an oil tanker is completely a straight-through deck, a civilian offshore platform that can retract and launch aircraft. It is the kind that will be basically destroyed by a single torpedo from a heretic, and will sink if it is hit by two torpedoes.

Neos was eager to break through the Atlantic blockade and said that if he could make dumplings quickly enough, he could drown the hell out. So at his urging, the British began to discuss and the final result was quite good - it was entirely feasible to use oil tankers to convert aircraft carriers.

These temporarily modified tankers are of civilian standards, have no armor protection, and have very poor power systems. They are not capable of sailing quickly in formation with the main fleet. Their only advantage is that after modification, they can take off and land carrier-based aircraft.

Together with a dozen small frigates of one thousand tons and several destroyers, it forms an escort formation.

Rudel looked at the tankers in front. On the sides of these tankers, one could even see the emblem of the HMS Royal Navy, but it was hastily painted and not fully covered.

These ships will belong to the European Union, not to any particular country.

PS: I have a lot of things to do today, so I’ll write these first and make up the word count tomorrow!

Red Tide: 1921: Chapter 83 Air Raid on Plymouth Naval Base!

After three months of transformation, outfitting and training, five escort aircraft carriers converted from oil tankers officially joined the European Union's naval fleet.

The first generation of crusade escort carriers was named Resurrection-class by Neos to commemorate the "resurrection" of Jesus after more than 800 years of sleep.

They are CES-01 Righteous Fury, CES-02 Providence, CES-03 Shield of Antioch, CES-04 Seraph's Flight, and CES-05 Martyr's Hope.

The escort aircraft carrier is 151 meters long, with a basic displacement of 8000 tons and a full load displacement of 12400 tons. It has a steam boiler with a total horsepower of 8,500 horsepower, a maximum speed of 18 knots, and a range of 26,300 nautical miles (15 knots).

It is enough to complete the Atlantic route. This ship is a natural escort for the Atlantic route!

It is not equipped with any naval guns, and its anti-aircraft firepower consists of two 127mm anti-aircraft guns, four 40mm twin machine guns, and twelve 20mm machine guns. Anyway, based on the density of anti-aircraft firepower, this escort aircraft carrier can be compared with a battleship.

It can carry 24 carrier-based aircraft. According to the current arrangements of the EU military, it is expected to carry 9 fighters, 8 carrier-based bombers, 4 Swordfish torpedo aircraft, and 3 anti-submarine specialized reconnaissance aircraft.

"So, the only factor limiting our escort aircraft carriers from going out now is that we don't have enough carrier-based aircraft?" Neos asked.

Commissioner Rudel nodded. "Yes, we must gather enough carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible. Monoplane fighters haven't been finalized yet, so we only have carrier-based bombers and Swordfish torpedo planes."

"That's enough. Shove the reconnaissance planes in there too. The heretics don't have aircraft carriers anyway, so why would they need fighter planes? Let's get the aircraft carriers moving first, so the crews can gain experience. Once our main aircraft carriers—those 35,000-ton behemoths—are launched, we can have these crews take the field."

"Do your will."

Neos didn't know that it was this order he gave today that would give the heretic a heavy blow a month later!

----------

Gibraltar Fortress in the heretic-occupied southern Iberian Peninsula

"Leader, Advisor, the Commissioner of the Hydra Court has summoned you two to attend a meeting."

A demon entered and spoke to the legion commander Malavicki and the unknown heretic wizard stationed there.

The consultants sent by the Three Rings of Hell have a very high status. For example, Legion Commander Malawicki will attend various meetings held by the consultants. The previous Crusaders' air strikes on Jerusalem had a great impact on public opinion in Hell.

The advisor and Malavicki happened to be on vacation in Jerusalem at the time and witnessed with their own eyes how the Crusader bombers flew away under the roar of their anti-aircraft guns, leaving half of the city burning.

The Crusaders' victory galvanized every member of Hell's hierarchy. Hell is a learner, so they were on the lookout for the right opportunity for revenge. Malawiki, stationed at Gibraltar for years with his legion, possessed extensive experience in both naval and land warfare. He was intimately familiar with the Crusaders' air defense deployments and their naval tactics, making him the perfect choice to spearhead this plan.

The plan was simple. The planes would take off from the Iberian Peninsula and bomb the Plymouth naval port in the southwest of England. Submarines would then be sent to the port to finish off the attack, knocking out one-third of Britain's main maritime defense forces, and then fly back. That's it.

As time went on, the adventure plan made by Malawiki became more and more detailed, with higher success rate and feasibility, and was finally handed over to the lords of hell.

This time, when Commander Malawiki and his wizard advisor walked into the conference room, each of them received a numbered secret document. This was the entire plan formulated by Hell to attack the Plymouth Naval Port!

Sitting down on the chair, Commander Malawiki picked up the plan and began to read it carefully.

No demon spoke, even though many demons were involved. This was the first complete plan after all, and they didn't know everything.

They were all flipping through the pages excitedly, and the room was filled with the rustling of papers, page after page. Two hours passed, and most of the demons had finished reading and looked up at the royal advisor.

"This operation will be launched after the 16th," the advisor said. "Malawiki will be the commander of the attack fleet. The wizard advisor will accompany him aboard the HHS-012 Sunken Pioneer battleship to jointly command the operation."

PS: HHS is the abbreviation of Hades's Hell Ship.

We are deploying three battleships, five heavy cruisers, and all the submarines in the surrounding waters. That's seventy-four submarines in total, and that's all we have available on the west coast of France and the west coast of England."

According to the plan, the heretic bombers would first bomb the ammunition depot and oil depot in the military port, then the anti-submarine network and minefield, and finally the ships.

The main attacking ships were submarines, and as for battleships and cruisers - they were just bait to attract the British Navy's surface forces.

"We will fight for control of the Atlantic Ocean in this battle. If we win, we can use our surface fleet to blockade England and fill the gap in submarines. This will buy us at least a year and a half. During this time, we will completely occupy the entire Iberian Peninsula and strive to meet up with friendly forces in Italy in France!" the advisor continued.

The top brass of Hell now know very well that a unified Europe with the support of the Americas has too strong a military production capacity. Although they can severely damage the Crusaders' Atlantic Fleet through surprise attacks, they cannot completely cut off the Crusaders' tentacles reaching into the Americas.

Hell, this is the only chance.

"Okay, now, does anyone have any questions?" asked the consultant.

It looked at each demon. The plan was quite detailed and there was nothing more to say.

When he finally looked at Commander Malawiki, he said, "I think there are two serious flaws in this plan."

All the "people" pricked up their ears and listened to Malawicki's analysis.

"First, we have too few maritime reconnaissance aircraft deployed, and the range of the reconnaissance aircraft released by our cruisers is too short. You have to know that the Crusaders' warships will not remain in the naval port waiting for us. They may cruise back and forth. If their main warships, such as their battleships and cruisers, are not in the naval port when we bomb, the effectiveness of our attack will be greatly reduced."

Maritime reconnaissance aircraft do not necessarily have to take off and land from aircraft carriers. They can be seaplanes that float directly in the sea and take off and land on the water.

The first flaw was insufficient reconnaissance. The plan was for the attack to take place on Sunday. After all, it was the day of Jesus' resurrection, and the Crusaders and navies would likely be resting or celebrating. But what if Jesus, upset because his left foot left the scene first, changed the resurrection celebration to Monday?

It is absolutely not enough to pin our hopes of fighting on such speculation.
