The roar of the plane was accompanied by the loud noise of the bomb landing, which made the entire land of Qin tremble uncontrollably. On this day, the war finally broke out on the mainland of Qin. On this day, the people of Qin finally witnessed the war with their own eyes.
of cruelty.
The Tang Empire's jet bombers raided Qin's old border at night and dropped about 20 tons of bombs on a transportation city on the border.
This was the first time that the core of the Qin Empire was attacked by an enemy country. The government and the public were shaken, and all ministers were summoned to the palace to discuss matters.
Prime Minister Ying Ke looked at the ministers talking about each other, and felt suppressed anger in his heart. His Qin soldiers were still fighting bravely hundreds of kilometers away from the country's gate, but the flames of war had already burned into his own home.
Ying Duo is unable to manage the government himself due to his illness, and Ying Ke is currently very busy as an assistant. The princes of the Qin Empire are very honest and do not stand up and make trouble at this time.
But the war situation has deteriorated to the point of being beyond control. There are indeed no internal worries, but external threats are enough to be fatal.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister... you must give me a regulation on how to deal with it." A minister came to Ying Ke's side and asked in a lowered voice.
"People in the border area are in panic, the city is in flames, and there are countless losses. This matter is causing a lot of uproar. How can we calm people down and explain it to the people?" After waiting for a while and not getting Ying Ke's answer, the minister had to bite the bullet again.
Continue to ask.
Ying Ke sighed. He also knew that delaying this matter would only make the chaos more widespread. However, Ying Ke really had no good solution to the bombing of the Tang Empire.
In the past, the missiles of the Tang Empire attacked the city and attacked Wuyang, but the scale was actually not large. If a ballistic missile with several thousand kilometers is not equipped with a nuclear warhead, the cost-effectiveness of the attack is actually not high.
But this time it was different. The Tang Empire's bombers directly attacked Qin's homeland. The impact of this was more shocking than the missile attack on Wuyang.
"I don't have any good ideas. Since the other party has come once, it proves that the border is already within their bombing radius. In this case, they can come whenever they want. What can I do?
Countermeasures?" Ying Ke sighed and spread his hands helplessly.
Since the Tang Empire's bombers can come once, they can come a second time. The Qin State's air force is simply unable to intercept them. Under such circumstances, there is really no good way.
Instead of counting on those Type 183 fighter jets, it would be better to count on Wuyang City or the anti-aircraft artillery deployed on the border to shoot down an enemy plane by chance.
The loss of Huxuan has brought Qin's distrust of the servant army to its peak. Now the Huaishan defense line is crumbling, and the Shushan area may be unprotected at any time. Qin's outer control area has almost been lost.
If the northern front loses more, then the Great Qin Empire will no longer need to call itself the Great Qin Empire.
All the areas previously occupied have been lost, and what is left of the Qin Kingdom are basically its own old lands. In this case, the Qin Empire is not worthy of its name, and it seems more accurate to change it back to the Qin Kingdom.
Even if this war continues, it will be a question whether the so-called Kingdom of Qin can continue to exist.
"What do the Air Force say? After spending so much money, buying so much equipment, buying so many blueprints, and equipping so many aircraft... in the end, isn't it useless at all?" Another minister said
He simply raised his voice and questioned the air force general next to him.
Zhang Tuo looked ugly, but had nothing to say, so he could only remain silent. Originally, he was unwilling to continue to serve as the commander of the Air Force, but his brother was transferred back from the front line due to the defeat, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.
.
"Yes, General Zhang, are you sure the Air Force can intercept the bombers of the Tang Empire and prevent them from entering our country, the Qin Dynasty?" Another minister continued to attack, making Zhang Tuo even more embarrassed. Zhang Tuo was Zhang Xuan because he was Zhang Xuan.
The younger brother, so he was called General Zhang in court to distinguish him from his elder brother General Zhang.
The number of warning radars equipped by the Air Force is insufficient and their performance is lagging behind. They are easily suppressed by interference and are of no use at all.
And after several rounds of losses, the wealth that was finally accumulated was also exhausted in the previous counterattacks. He, Zhang Tuo, is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without straw.
Ying Ke, who knew the inside story, actually understood Zhang Tuo very well. He also knew that the air force was now completely unable to fight anymore, let alone any aircraft formation that could intercept the Tang Empire's night bombing.
To put it bluntly, it is still unknown whether the Qin Air Force can gather 100 183 fighter jets on the northern front and the pilots who can fly these aircraft, let alone let them fight in formation and achieve results.
In fact, these fighter jets occasionally took off once or twice, but they basically ended up with no return. The appearance of the Qin Air Force on the battlefield had almost no practical significance and could only serve to inspire army soldiers.
"As spring begins, if agricultural production is disrupted and the harvest is missed, the country will be even more difficult." The minister in charge of agriculture muttered to one side in embarrassment.
Originally, the Qin State, which won the Shu land, did not need to worry too much about this year's grain harvest, but now that the Shu land was lost, the Qin State had to start worrying about food issues again.
If it's just a matter of farming, it's okay. After all, although the territory is less, the population has also dropped a lot due to the war, so it can still be maintained.
The difficulty is that with the war, the farming will be delayed. Then there will be no grain harvest and the farmland will be abandoned. Then it will really be all over.
"When the homeland is attacked, we need to discuss how to reduce the losses..." A minister next to him followed up: "I heard that many cities do not have air defense facilities, and the warehouses for material reserves are not well prepared... When something goes wrong,
If the losses cannot be controlled to a certain level, you and I will both be sinners of Great Qin."
Ying Ke also knew that what he said was right, but despite all the trouble, he couldn't figure out a clue. His head really felt as big as a bucket, and even breathing became a little difficult.
"The military side, discuss a countermeasure, how to prevent and alert... there must be a plan." After trying to recover a little, Ying Ke gritted his teeth and began to issue orders: "Border cities have entered a state of war, find ways to restrain the people, strengthen
alert……"
He said more than a dozen things in one breath, and the relevant ministers wrote down their tasks. Everyone's expressions became more solemn, because the war seemed to be getting closer and closer to them - the war was burning at the door of their homes.
