Chapter 799(1/2)

When these bombs fell to the ground, there was no violent explosion, but thick yellow-green smoke. I don’t know how much smoke was contained in the bomb. It took only ten or twenty minutes, and the thick smoke almost enveloped the whole world.

The entire factory.

Thousands of workers at the Mumbai Steel Plant struggled in the thick smoke, coughing, and some kept crying and sneezing. Soon these people fell to the ground and twitched, and many of them kept spitting foam from their mouths.

It looks like a crab about to be boiled.

This was the first time that the city of Mumbai was attacked by air. Everyone was shocked by the huge airship. However, everyone had the same pace, which was to rush to the smoke-filled Mumbai Steel Plant. Especially those whose families had people working in the Bombay Steel Plant.

People in the crowd even quickened their pace and ran over there. Watching the excitement is also a popular leisure activity for the Indian people.

Wu Sangui was woken up by the loud noise. He pushed away the woman beside him and ran naked to the large French window. When he saw the Mumbai Steel Plant shrouded in thick smoke, he felt his heart sinking.

The Bombay Steel Plant is the largest steel plant in India. More importantly, there is a machining plant right next to the Bombay Steel Plant. A dozen Ph.D.s from Cambridge are leading dozens of skilled workers to study the process of replicating Maxim's process.

process.

He quickly got dressed, ran out of the bedroom and shouted to the adjutant: "Hurry up, order the garrison to go to the steel plant to rescue the wounded."

The sun just showed its head on the horizon, and even the golden light could not penetrate the layer of smoke. Many people were worried about their relatives working inside, holding their noses and rushing into the smoke, trying to find their relatives.

But I only saw people rushing in, but no one came out.

At this moment, a whistle sounded behind them. People hurriedly dispersed to both sides. Groups of soldiers armed with live ammunition immediately chased the spectators back. Those who dared to walk slower were immediately served with sticks.

The first guy who looked like an officer hesitated for a moment when he saw the yellow-green smoke, but he still rushed in with the soldiers.

When Wu Sangui arrived, more than two thousand of his garrison troops had already entered.

"Major General, something's wrong! I saw people going in, but no one coming out. It's been more than half an hour since the garrison went in, and no one came out. The smoke seems weird!" Boss Wu immediately saw Wu Sangui walking inside.

Put out your hand to stop it.

"Weird?" Wu Sangui looked at the yellow-green smoke with some hesitation. He also felt a little strange. Logically speaking, such a big smoke should have a big explosion, but he did not hear the loud explosion.

After waiting for an hour, no one came out. Wu Sangui felt a little panicked. The people outside had begun to kneel on the ground to pray, and some kowtowed to the smoke, not knowing what it meant.

Many soldiers nearby who were relatively close to the smoke began to cough continuously, and some fell to the ground and foamed. Wu Sangui was so frightened that he quickly backed away!

The sun rose higher, and the yellow-green smoke not only did not dissipate, but showed signs of expanding. The crowd surrounding it kept retreating. Almost the entire population of Mumbai was paying attention to the Mumbai Steel Plant shrouded in huge smoke.

Just when Wu Sangui was still worried about the yellow-green smoke, the airships that attacked Mumbai were flying unsteadily over Udupur.

"Keep it close and fight, don't take any prisoners." Through the telescope, Dao Scar saw groups of Indians wearing shit-yellow military uniforms. These guys had turbans wrapped around their heads, making their heads look particularly big.

There were so many of these guys, they had rifles in their hands, and they were running and shooting. However, they didn't even have mortars behind them, so they just rushed to death.

Scar lay on the ground, knocking down those little shit-yellow dots a hundred meters away like a target. Compared to the rifle, the Aka rifle's thirty-round magazine clearly had a firepower advantage.

There was a burst of gunfire, and the Indian soldiers once again threw corpses on the ground and ran away.

Udupur is located in a remote place, more than a thousand miles away from Mumbai. The troops stationed here are just the armies of small states in India. To put it bluntly, it is not easy to gather a few rifles for counterattack.

.

The defense lasted a whole morning, and only two of Scar's Marines were slightly injured. But the opponent dropped at least a hundred corpses!

The airship flew back, much lighter because of the lack of bombs. I watched the airships land one by one, fill up with fuel, and then take off one after another. Scar spat: "Brothers, retreat! Let's move away."

The mission is accomplished.”

"Battal Commander, let's go back and have a dinner. This time, we will have Wuliangye at least. You just dazzled us last time."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! You bastards know how to plunder me. You fucking took away a month's worth of military pay."

"No, battalion commander, the girls in the brothel shave harder and much more than us!"

"Get out! Damn it, I'll slap you."

Amid roars of laughter, Scar and the Marines climbed up the gangway. The oil in the tanker bottomed out, and it seemed a lot lighter. The whistle blew, and the merchant ship carried the Marine Battalion away from the dock.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the smoke inside the Mumbai Steel Plant completely cleared.

Of course, no one dares to go in. The local Indians spread the rumor that there are evil spirits here that are seeking people's souls. As long as you walk in, your soul will be taken away and you will never be reincarnated.

Wu Sangui definitely didn't believe these things, so he ordered two dogs to be let in. In the telescope, the dogs were walking among the corpses, and from time to time they startled crows.

"Send someone in to see what's going on." Those Indian soldiers can't be used. Letting them in is like killing them. Even the officers are like this! If they insist on using force to force them, I'm afraid it will immediately lead to trouble.

Become a mutiny.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to let the cavalry division composed of his direct descendants, the Khalkha Mongols, enter. These Mongols were much braver than the Indians. Of course, they also had gods they believed in.

A guy with cloth strips all over his body jumped up and down in front of the team for a long time. Finally, when Wu Sangui felt impatient, a dozen Khalkha Mongolian cavalry slowly entered the Bombay Steel Plant on their war horses.

The scene was extremely tragic, with dead people lying on the ground everywhere on the road. Some people died in such a miserable way that their chests were scratched with fingers. The skin and flesh were rolled outwards, revealing the white ribs inside, which was scary to look at.

Others stared with big eyes, although there was no brilliance of life in them, they were still full of fear.

At the door of the workshop, corpses were piled up in piles, completely blocking the door of the workshop. Many people still had traces of foam at the corners of their mouths, which made people feel very strange.

Not only the corpses of people, but also the corpses of stray dogs, stray cats, and stray rats in the factory were everywhere. Even under the big trees, there were many corpses of sparrows. A Khalkha knight was surprised to find that his war horse

He actually stepped on a crow.

The machining factory that Wu Sangui took special care of was not spared. A dozen PhDs from Cambridge and nearly a hundred highly skilled Indian machining workers were all turned into stiff corpses. The mass production of the Maxim heavy machine gun

, it is estimated that it will have to be postponed later.

No one can explain what happened in the Bombay Steel Plant. Wu Sangui didn't know, and neither did Newton.

"This may be caused by a gas that can kill people. What I know so far is that chlorine is harmful to the human body. But it can never be so toxic!" Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, suddenly Newton was behind him.

Someone spoke.

"Mr. Boyle, please explain clearly. Are these chlorine gases?" When Newton saw that the person speaking was Boyle from Oxford, he immediately remembered that this man had very profound knowledge in chemistry.

"Only in the laboratory can we draw conclusions about what kind of gas it is. But I am certain that it is not chlorine gas, but it is many, many times more toxic than chlorine gas. Moreover, this gas has a low boiling point and is very easy to volatilize.

That's why this kind of gas can spread quickly within the factory area." Boyle was shocked when he looked at the tragic scene in the factory area. His professional knowledge told him that this was definitely a powerful chemical toxin, but what exactly it was, he

Can't even tell.

"Mr. Boyle, can you create this kind of gas?" Wu Sangui's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Boyle's words.

Although he suffered heavy losses this time, not only did he lose thousands of skilled workers and soldiers, he also lost more than a dozen PhDs from Cambridge. But if he masters this weapon, it will have unexpected effects on the battlefield in the future.

.

"It's hard to say. We need to do a lot of experiments to know." Boyle shrugged his shoulders. Although he knew the chemical ingredients, it was still very difficult to prepare them.

"Okay! Just tell me what you need, and I will provide you with all the conveniences you need." Wu Sangui nodded, and he also knew that some things cannot be accomplished overnight.

Looking back at the corpses on the ground, I gritted my teeth with hatred. What Li Xiao had tinkered with was indeed vicious. Although the steel plant was not damaged at all, there are no mature skilled workers now.

What made Wu Sangui even more heartbroken was that he expected those dozen Cambridge Ph.D.s to use Maxim's principles to create a rapid-fire cannon for himself.

"Thank you, Lord Governor. I will do my best to analyze the gas samples as soon as possible." Boyle ordered the Indian servants to carefully collect the shrapnel stained with some mucus for use in experiments.

"Dr. Newton, you have seen that the Ming Dynasty has become more and more proficient in using air strikes. This time they actually attacked Mumbai, which shows that they have found a way to overcome the problem of flight distance. The top priority now is to build our own airship

." Wu Sangui asked Newton angrily. Several times, he urged Newton overtly or covertly.

But Newton didn't seem to hear anyone. All processes and structural designs require many tests. He said this was to measure the failure rate.

Oh my God! God knows what the failure rate is. I only know that the people of Ming Dynasty have fried my head to yellow.

"Your Majesty the Governor, in three months, the design drawings of the gasoline engine should be drawn up in three months. And we are also working on solving some shortcomings of the existing airships. Please believe me, I will produce a reliable airship in the shortest possible time.

.If the airship is equipped with rockets, it should be able to effectively snipe the Ming army's airship."

When Newton saw the corpses on the ground, especially when there were many Englishmen among them, he secretly became angry.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can ask. I will try my best to get everything you need!" Wu Sangui was so confused by the things in the sky that India's number one enemy now is airships.

If it cannot contain the air raids, it will gradually lose the entire Indian subcontinent.

Great! Li Xiu was overjoyed with the information he passed back with his detailed work. He actually killed more than 5,000 people at one time, and there were actually many Englishmen among them. On the Ming side, in addition to the Marine Corps, there were two

Other than minor injuries, the team members did not suffer any casualties.

Not counting the Marines, the hundreds of Indian soldiers killed in Udupur. No matter how you look at it, this was a perfect air raid.

"Second brother, this kind of gas bomb is very easy to use. You don't have to worry about it after you throw it away, and the people below will be poisoned to death naturally. I think this thing needs to be used more." Li Hu raised his head and drank a glass of Wuliangye, feeling very happy.

.

"This kind of weapon is too explosive. Just a slight explosion can cause such huge casualties. No wonder the elder brother said that this kind of weapon should not be used lightly." Li Xiu took a sip of wine and looked worried.

"I mean, second brother, why are you acting like the boss? If this thing is useful, it needs to be used more often! Think about it, throw it at the enemy's front line. The people in the trenches will be suffocated to death, and our people don't have to work hard.

Just rush up and pick up the ready-made ones. What a great idea!" Li Hu poured a glass for Li Xiu carelessly.

"That's what I say, but think about it. What would you do if this thing hits our heads? Brother doesn't want to use this thing, just because he doesn't want Wu Sangui to be prepared. Maybe this thing can be put to great use in the future."

"Uh...!" Li Hu panicked when he thought about what would happen if such a terrifying thing fell on his head.

"Besides, although this airship surprise attack was successful, it may not be effective next time. Wu Sangui knew immediately where the airship would refuel on the way. As long as a dozen rocket launchers are deployed there, our people and even the airship will not return.

Not coming."

"Then don't bomb their west coast. Let's come from the east coast first. Damn it, I didn't expect to start fighting on the east coast. If you ask me, let the big brother send more men. Let's just go directly to Bombay by land. That way

How simple."
