1423 Air Raid on Manchester(1/2)
Chapter 1423 Air Raid on Manche Fourth Special Forces
The English Channel and the Strait of Dover are the busiest straits for ocean transportation in the world and have an important strategic position. International shipping volume is very large. Currently, as many as 200,000 ships pass through the strait every year, ranking first among all straits in the world. Historically
Because it has played a huge role in the economic development of the capitalist countries in Western and Northern Europe, people call the waterways of these two straits "silver channels." In fact, Li Cong's plan to blockade this area was not just to trap the British to death.
Mishima also has a lot of ideas. If it can really be blocked, it is estimated that the economy of Europa will also be affected.
In the two-day transportation, Europa has transported more than 500,000 tons of various materials to the British Isles, and is currently transporting them at a rate of 300,000 tons per day. As for energy, they are not worried.
, because there is an unspoken rule that no matter who the energy group is fighting, the energy that should be sold is being sold. This has been confirmed in previous wars. Li Cong did not do this not for them, but for his own energy.
If the commercial department of the group is still running, it is like throwing in a bunch of huge spies. Some of them will always be exposed, and they can continue to help themselves make money. Even if those countries fail, they will not attack the energy transportation team.
They are not fools. If the energy source is cut off, their losses will be even greater. Are they asking everyone to run to duel with the enemy?
On a sunny morning, hundreds of fighter jets from the Naval Air Force of the Energy Group directly arrived over the British Isles with a commanding momentum. All ships transporting resources were attacked by the aircraft. The Royal Navy Type 45 was performing escort missions.
The destroyer was also attacked. Although they also released fifteen anti-aircraft missiles, the effect was not very good. They only shot down two planes. Their losses were very huge. More than thirty transport ships
The ship was sunk, and there was also a frigate among them. The two destroyers on escort missions were also hit by a missile and were towed back. It would be several months before they could come out to fight again. The casualties were as high as thousands.
People, the battle to blockade the British Isles began.
Hundreds of fighter planes from the Royal Air Force also took off immediately, and together with the Royal Navy aircraft, they began to chase the Energy Group aircraft. Their military strength was at an absolute advantage, but what made them depressed was that these Energy Group aircraft that had dropped bombs did not
They did not return to their own fleet. In that case, they could definitely launch a direct attack on the energy group's fleet. They flew directly to the sky of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Facing the waiting U.S. Atlantic Fleet, the Royal Air Force chose to retreat.
, hundreds of U.S. Air Forces also wondered why the planes of these energy groups flew here. When they saw the Royal Air Force retreating, they realized that they had been used by these cunning guys again. However, although the two sides did not have the name of allies, they were actually
We can't say anything about them if they actually existed. These planes flew towards their own fleet under the cover of the US Air Force. After returning, they also exposed the position of their own fleet, but it is no longer important now. Back to
After the fleet, there are five aircraft carrier battle groups with more than a dozen aircraft carriers, thousands of aircraft and hundreds of defense and control frigates. If the Royal Air Force has the courage to come over, they will really have to weigh it. The first stage of the blockade campaign is the energy group.
Won.
While Li Conle was drinking tea leisurely in Jinan, a message came directly, showing an angry Danny. Now the energy group directly dragged the Americans in. Most people in the international community thought that the United States
People were also involved in the blockade plan. Danny was very angry and asked Li Cong what he meant.
"What's the point of this? We are allies. Is there anything wrong with my plane taking refuge in your sky? It seems that your reaction is a bit violent. Look at the troops under your command. Their reaction is not as serious as yours.
Yes, they did a good job in sending my plane back. You should learn from them for a while. This is what a necessary ally should do." Li never said disapprovingly, "Actually, if things were reversed,
If your planes arrive over my fleet, my fleet will not only escort them, but we can also provide them with a place to land."
Danny was immediately speechless by Li Cong's attitude. When did his plane fly to your fleet? Now you are taking advantage and are blaming us. It's so unreasonable.
.
"Mr. Li, although we have common interests when it comes to Europa, we will not come forward to blockade the British Isles. You also know that although we are in confrontation with Europa, we
We have some unexplainable reasons with the British. I hope you can understand us." Danny lost his temper at this moment. He could only hope that Li Cong could take care of the relationship between the two countries. After all, back then
At that time, the United Kingdom almost abandoned the entire European continent and became the United States, but at the last moment they felt that they were more honest in Europe.
As the saying goes, a leaf can tell the autumn. When we know the background issues of many American presidents, it is not difficult to find out why the relationship between the United States and Britain has always maintained a relatively close relationship.
The fact of the bloodline of the presidents of the United States is this: The members of the club of Presidents of the United States are actually a relatively small family business. If you go back five or six generations, they are actually a family. The bloodline of the presidents of the United States is not only "
"Recent" and "expensive". Many presidents are descendants of the British royal family. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt are all
They are the descendants of King Edward III. James Madison, William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Grover Cleveland, William Holder Taft and
Gerald Ford could be a descendant of Edward I. Rutherford Hayes’ ancestor was King David I of Scotland. Warren Harding was a descendant of King Æthelred II of England. Kelvin Cooley
Qi is a descendant of King Henry II of England. Hobert Hoover is a descendant of King John of England. Current President George W. Bush and his father Bush Sr. are descendants of King Edward I of England and King Alfonso I of Portugal. Princes and generals
Is there any kind?
Genealogical research shows that Obama has deep roots with both the Democratic and Republican parties. His distant relatives include President Bush and his father Bush Sr., former Presidents Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Truman and James Madison. Obama's other
Relatives include Vice President Dick Cheney, whom he often criticized during the election campaign, former British Prime Minister Churchill, and American Civil War General Robert E. Lee. In this regard, genealogy expert Christopher Child joked that Obama has relatives all over the political arena across the United States.
In contrast, McCain's family background seems to have little to say, because his family's genealogical records are incomplete.
From this point of view, under normal circumstances, the United States and the United Kingdom are more likely to be called "us" than any other country, or "we" are closer, and the dissatisfied nature of people means that people want me or our things.
Better, so the relationship between the United States and Britain will always maintain a closer relationship.
After the end of World War II, the whole of Europe was beaten to pieces. Although the British mainland did not survive a land war, it was bombed by Germany for a long time, so the situation was not good. In addition, British personnel losses were also very heavy during World War II. In order to
Victory received a lot of aid from the United States.
In order to rebuild Europe and fight against the Soviet Union, the United States proposed the Marshall Aid Plan, provided a large amount of aid and loans to European countries, including the United Kingdom, and established the Warsaw Pact organization headed by NATO to fight against the Soviet Union. Among them, the United States supported the most
Britain, which shares the same culture and race as them, even handed over nuclear weapons to Britain.
Therefore, the United Kingdom has gradually begun to follow the lead of the United States and is the most loyal younger brother of the United States. Of course, as the former empire on which the sun never sets and now one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the United Kingdom still has a considerable international status and is not just a younger brother of the United States.
.This is why when Europa was established, the United States asked it to join the Great American Alliance. After careful consideration, the British still felt that it was better to stay in Europe. As for being a traitor to the Americans, or they just hoped that they would not be Li Cong here.
Considered.
"Haha, Miss Danny has made it so clear, so I know exactly what to do. Don't worry, I will do it well. Nothing will happen between us and the British Isles in the future.
I'm sorry to trouble you Americans, but you Americans don't help them secretly. I don't find anything and nothing happens. If I find out, then we will have an explanation." Although Li Cong said with a smile,
Danny still felt tremendous pressure. Could it be that Li Congdu had really discovered the secret relationship between them and the British? Impossible, they hid it very deeply.
Let’s not talk about the things on their side. The people on the British Isles are not as calm as they were a few days ago. Now most of the people are blaming the navy and air force that they were proud of before. What is going on?
Why were so many warships and planes sunk during the first contact? Could it be that the British Empire, which we thought was extremely powerful in the past, was just a guise? More and more people have this idea, not just a few.
It can be stopped. Many people are gathering at the former Prime Minister's residence, which is now No. 10 Downing Street, to seek an explanation. But what explanation can Europa's top management give them? Could it be that we have actually given up on you? What will happen to you in the future?
Days have to be solved by themselves. Your task is to attract the attention of energy groups so that our army can quickly solve the problems in the Mediterranean? This is simply asking for death.
The former United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was composed of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, unified under a central government and head of state. The United Kingdom is located in the northwest of Europe, on the British Isles. The United Kingdom is the world's first industrialized country
, a multicultural and open-minded society. It was the most powerful country in the world from the 18th century to the early 20th century. After two world wars and the collapse of the British Empire in the second half of the 20th century, it has lost its former glory. However,
, the United Kingdom is still an important political, economic, cultural and military world power with huge influence around the world. Therefore, it is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and has veto power on Security Council resolutions. The influence of the British Empire after entering the new century
Its power is deteriorating. By the 1920s, the British Empire seemed to have become a dependent country of the United States. Even now, the original British power in Europe has not reached its original status. It is still between France and Germany.
Down.
After defeating the Spanish Armada in 1588, Britain gradually replaced Spain and became an emerging maritime hegemon. It began to continuously expand its overseas colonies. After that, Britain successively defeated its strongest opponents, the Netherlands and France, in the Anglo-Dutch War and the Seven Years' War, and seized
The two countries acquired large colonies and established maritime hegemony. Britain's victory in the war with Napoleon in 1815 further consolidated its status as an international political and military power. The Industrial Revolution made Britain an undisputed economic power. Victoria
The British Empire entered its heyday. On the eve of World War I, 400 to 500 million people in the world (i.e. a quarter of the global population at that time) were under the rule of the British Empire; Newfoundland, Canada, New Zealand,
Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Gambia, Malta, Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria and countless islands are under British colonial rule. The international order under the leadership of British hegemony is called "Pax Britannica"
Britain calls itself the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets." But what puzzles the people of the Empire on which the Sun never sets most is why there are so many foreign warships parked at their door, and even cruise ships are not allowed to go to sea.
?
On the second day of the blockade, after the Energy Group's request for the release of prisoners was not resolved, the Energy Group's arsenal ship showed its majesty to the world for the first time. At that time, the fleet commander cordially praised the arsenal ship in the fleet as a virgin. Today
It was time to take his red pill. In the first show, hundreds of missiles were all launched into the sky within two minutes. They flew towards Manchester, the most important industrial center in the UK, and the energy group's first air strike began.
The prologue begins.
Manchester (English: manchester), an international metropolis. A municipality, city, single management area in Greater Manchester County in the northwest region of England, an internationally important transportation hub and commercial, financial, industrial, and cultural center. Manchester develops emerging industries.
It has become an international city centered on electronics, chemicals and printing, with more than 700 industries including heavy machinery, weaving, oil refining, glass, plastics and food processing. Its total urban population ranks second in the UK, second only to London.
Manchester people are called mancunians. Manchester is united with Trafford, Tameside, Salford, Stockport and other towns to form the Manchester region. It has developed from an industrial city to one with finance, education, tourism, commerce, and manufacturing.
A prosperous city that never sleeps featuring industry,
Hitler also attacked here. The Investigation Department conducted research and found that the biggest impact on people from the attack on London was psychological pressure. A thorough blow to Manchester is the most important. If the industrial area here is directly destroyed, it is estimated that
The industrialization of the entire UK is about to go back to the next level. More than a hundred missiles are neither too much nor too little. The cruise missiles of the Energy Group cost about 100,000 US dollars each. There are more than 100 missiles.
It costs tens of millions of dollars to go out, but if compared with the American Tomahawk, it is only one-third of the cost.
Manchester is the second largest city in the UK (after London) and is a model of urban redevelopment. People can see the development history of British industry from here. Now, it is full of electronic atmosphere, centered on electronics, chemicals and printing.
, with more than 700 industries such as heavy machinery, weaving, oil refining, glass, plastics and food processing, it is not only the political and cultural center of northwest England, but also the center of business and employment.
Manchester is no longer what it used to be. The suffering of poverty in the Dickensian era has long been a dusty memory in history. The darkness and death displayed by the punk punk bands of the 1980s have also gone away along with the sad and pessimistic sound of Joydivision. In the past 15 years
, this city has developed a leisurely atmosphere of "drinking champagne for breakfast" and an attitude towards life that focuses on pleasure to the point of being frivolous.
Manchester was once the pioneer of the Industrial Revolution. Nowadays, it has long been far away from the days of "steam and sweat". Instead, it has entered the youthful days of dressing up fashionably and partying everywhere for fun. Of course, Manchester is not just shouting crazy,
Along with frothing football matches and raucous entertainment in a classy hangout, there are also great museums, fine food and great shopping.
Stroll among the trendy bars and boutiques in the bohemian North End, wander around the dignified and poised Castlefield district, and then check out the Gay Village.
"Don't be afraid" attitude. After staying here for a long time, you can't help but be infected by the confidence exuded by this regenerated city.
This city, which was founded on cotton, remains vibrant because it strives for opportunities, is willing to try, and encourages people to start businesses and innovate. The bombing in 1996 destroyed the center of Manchester, but the residents quickly recovered from the shock.
And seized that opportunity to rebuild the city center, building new public venues and modern buildings full of whimsy but very practical. At this moment, people are living the same life on the streets as before, although the war has begun
, but in the hearts of these people, they seemed to be still a little far away. But at this moment, the sharp sound of the air raid sirens sounded directly, and the police station cars began to rush through the streets. "Attention is paid to everyone. Everyone enters immediately."
The bunker, the Energy Group Navy launched more than a hundred cruise missiles at me?????
The panicked people finally knew what was happening now, but after hundreds of years of peace, when would something like this happen? This may only be seen in movies, but these people are not ignorant.
To be continued...
