As time passed, the wealthy people and civilians who crowded near the city gate became more and more restless.
In fact, they were still a step late in getting the news, and those who really had good eyes and hands were already watching a play in a courtyard outside the city.
Yes, Pan Yiping and Pan Qi, father and daughter, are nervously eating delicious food in a suburban manor at this moment.
They were surrounded by celebrities, rich and nobles, and even Pan Yiping saw the prime minister and several female ministers from their families during the banquet.
The environment of the manor is very good. They were invited here a few hours ago. The courtyard is filled with all kinds of luxury cars.
Pan Yiping finally understood how huge the gap between people in this world is: when ordinary people get the news, some people are already ready for everything.
Because it is far away from the city that may be attacked, the atmosphere here is still peaceful. If you only look at the feasting and feasting here, you will not even feel that the Dahua Empire is still in the midst of civil war.
The waiters respectfully carried the trays and delivered exquisite beef dishes and sweet and sour fruit wine to everyone. The smiles on their faces were so warm and made people feel like spring breeze.
"I heard that the attack has started, but I don't know what's going on in the city?" A girl approached Pan Qi and asked familiarly.
In the past, she somewhat looked down on businessmen's daughters like Pan Qi, but now she truly regards Pan Qi as her best friend.
Because the people who can be arranged to come to this manor at this time are almost considered to be of the "upper" class. Everyone is on the same level, and no one looks down on anyone.
Since their abilities are about the same, their status is also about the same. Moreover, Pan Qi is actually becoming more and more famous in the circles of the Imperial City. After all, she is the woman of the "bartender" Du Jia.
This woman's status is actually linked to her husband. If her man does well, her status will naturally rise.
We may not give face to businessman Pan Yiping, but we must give face to Du Jia’s father-in-law... In the same way, we may not give face to Pan Qi, but we must give face to Mrs. Du Jia.
"Maybe it's just a few minutes." Pan Qi took out her pocket watch and checked the time. In order to facilitate movement today, she deliberately chose a very neutral outfit, with breeches and a vest, and her hair was pulled up.
With a hairpin inserted, he looks very capable.
She is a businesswoman's daughter, and she doesn't pay much attention to her clothes, so she dresses casually and behaves without restraint. This kind of Pan Qi has a different kind of beauty, which is one of the reasons why Du Jia fell in love with her.
Most of the people who came here to attend the banquet were women, because since Zhao Zheng and his family ran away, Zhao Kai has implemented stricter control on the family members of almost all officials and nobles.
The women's exam is relatively good. Men are not allowed to leave their homes without permission, and any violation will be punished immediately.
Therefore, although it seems that there is peace and prosperity here, many people are thinking about their male elders who are still in the city. Therefore, a well-informed person like Pan Qi becomes even more popular.
Who doesn’t want to curry favor with Pan Qi and Pan Qi’s husband Du Jia, so that they have one more choice at the critical moment? So, soon another young woman came over and started chatting with Pan Qi, as if they had been sisters many years ago.
Just like best friends.
Pan Qi also accepted everyone who came. She was the daughter of a businessman and had inherited an all-round personality. Now she wanted to help Du Jia maintain her connections, so she was naturally willing to chat with these women.
She quickly cheered up and talked to those worried women about some secrets in the boudoir. Topics such as how to send their children to study in Tang Dynasty and how much money can be spent to buy a house in Linshui, etc., were left at this time.
, it really makes women very interested.
…
In the tense Imperial Air Defense Command of the Dahua Empire, Li Mingshun, who was temporarily assigned to supervise the operation, grabbed the phone and angrily asked the commander of the air defense force in the direction of Hezhe: "Let me confirm again, have any bombers passed by you? Tell the truth!
Tell me clearly!"
Beside him, another general was talking to the commander of the air defense force in the direction of Xiajian. What they said was also to confirm whether any aircraft had passed by the direction of Xiajuan.
Unfortunately, the answers they all received were the same: no observation stations or checkpoints detected any aircraft passing by, and the fighter units patrolling the sky did not detect anything either.
There were no aircraft attacks in the direction of Fengjiang, and no large-scale enemy aircraft activity was even seen on the Fengjiang front line.
Everyone is looking for the so-called "enemy aircraft", including patrol aircraft, including outposts on the ground, including civilian factories...
As long as they could be contacted, they were constantly checking to see if any planes from the direction of Fengjiang were passing by.
"No! Sir! We have never found any aircraft passing through the airspace we are responsible for! Yes, no! Absolutely not!" the commander in question assured Li Mingshun.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mingshun looked at the generals around him irritably: "No one saw the plane passing by. Didn't Tang Guo buy the bomber to Fengjiang?"
"Maybe there is only one plane..." A general said to Li Mingshun optimistically: "Maybe it is just a small-scale attack..."
"Small-scale?" Li Mingshun glanced at the other party: "No matter how small it is! We must ensure that our imperial capital is foolproof!"
Zhao Kai entrusted him with such an important matter, and he must be worthy of Zhao Kai's trust. Also, if a weapon that can attack enemy cities 1,700 kilometers away really appears in this world, it will be unlucky.
It’s not just their Dahua Empire family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If the Tang State really had such a weapon, wouldn't the Chu State's royal city Yecheng be also under attack from the opponent?
If such weapons were deployed in Chu State, wouldn't the same be true for Kangrao, the royal city of Shu? This is definitely something other countries cannot tolerate. If such weapons become popular, then the world will no longer have the concept of strategic depth.
"The time claimed by the other party is getting closer and closer..." Another general said uneasily: "Do you want..."
He didn't finish what he wanted to say, but everyone knew what he wanted to say: Should Emperor Zhao Kai hide in the air-raid shelter first to avoid any accidents?
Although city-level air defense is not perfect due to development reasons, countries around the world have done some construction of air defense bunkers for important people.
His Majesty the Emperor must have his own air-raid shelter, and some may even have a complete air-raid headquarters that can communicate with generals, assign tasks, and issue orders from underground bunkers.
The Dahua Empire naturally has such air defense bunkers, but Zhao Kai has not hid in his own air raid shelter yet. He does not think that being in his palace is a dangerous thing.
"Call...ask your Majesty to enter the underground bunker immediately to ensure safety..." Li Mingshun had no choice but to choose a safer solution.
However, when he said this, in the sky, a distance of more than 1,700 kilometers had been crossed. The ballistic missiles of the Tang Empire had re-entered the atmosphere and began their final sprint towards their target.
Chu Muzhou did not leave the royal city, he did not even leave his own home. After asking the housekeeper to send away several of his daughters-in-law, most of the men of the Chu family stayed in the city, waiting for the upcoming "attack".
There was no way, as the prime minister of the empire, their family could not leave the city easily, and from the Chu family's point of view, the national crisis was at hand, so they had to stay where they were and wait for their end.
This is a mission, a rule, and an attitude. As a veteran noble of the empire and a family of prime ministers, Chu Muzhou and his descendants have things that they must shoulder.
The table was on a deck chair in the yard, looking up at the sky, Chu Muzhou saw a shooting star, a shooting star getting closer and closer.
That thing was as bright as a star even in the daytime, dragging a long tail of flames and rushing towards the ground.
His sons also saw this scene, and the sons nearby rushed over immediately, surrounding their father nervously.
"Alas..." Chu Muzhou sighed. He knew that the weapon mentioned by the Tang Empire had really arrived. At the same time, he also knew that this must be another terrifying weapon that could change the balance of the world.
Sadly, as the chicken that killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, as the first show of this new type of weapon in the world, the capital of the Great China Empire was destined to suffer this disaster.
"Don't be nervous. If we really end up here, our Chu family will be considered loyal to the country." After sighing, the old prime minister Chu Muzhou spoke to comfort his sons.
Several of his grandsons were attending a banquet in a courtyard of a merchant from the Tang Dynasty outside the city. He also had a son who went to study in the Tang Dynasty last year... In short, the funeral arrangements have been arranged, and Chu Muzhou has no regrets.
of.
While Chu Muzhou was talking, a second meteor appeared in the sky and fell rapidly towards the capital of the Great China Empire. Although the thing was extremely fast, it could still be seen clearly.
The crowd crowded near the city gate shouted in terror. Everyone saw the divine power descending from the sky and the black shadow that frightened them.
These people all pointed at the two black figures, and these two black figures did indeed fall into the capital city of the Dahua Empire.
Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled, and a column of snow-white smoke rose into the sky, rolling straight into the sky. Before everyone could figure out what happened, a dull loud noise came from the distance, as if
It was the spring thunder that exploded from the sky.
