Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

As the air force commander of the Principality of Idar and the head of the Griffin Knights, Major General Rolf Hawthorne has a sense of presence that can be regarded as the smallest of the three major services of Idar.

Even in many cases, the main task of the Griffin Knights is not to patrol in the air, but to act as an honor guard for foreign guests.

Especially after the official launch of the remote communication device linked by Jing's divine power, even the responsibility of delivering messages has become the past of the Griffin Knights.

But that's why...

When Rolf Hawthorne heard that Idar CIA Director Krell and Idar Defense Minister Sarah Curran had sent him to the Alhambra in Idar for an emergency meeting...

He was all excited.

no way,

Although the name of the Idar Air Force sounds arrogant, and the training tasks on weekdays have not been delayed at all, the opportunity to participate in actual combat is really too rare!

Even the army under the name of the Idar Air Force has only two Griffin Knights and a hot air balloon reconnaissance battalion.

And in this,

In addition to the occasional reconnaissance mission of the hot air balloon reconnaissance battalion, the members of the Griffin Knights have long been impatient with their expectations of going to the battlefield and serving their country.

so……

When Krell handed a top-secret military action plan to Rolf Hawthorne... the young air force major general patted his chest almost on the spot to promise to complete the mission.

"The Duke's intention is to destroy the colossus near the holy city of Bethlehem, but it needs to be taken into account that it would be too risky to send ground troops deep into the hinterland of the church, and it may expose the dark lines previously planted by the Idar Central Intelligence Agency. "

"So... we thought about it, and felt that this errand should be handed over to the Idar Air Force to destroy the established targets on the ground through bombardment from the air."

"Rest assured, the Air Force will definitely be able to complete this task! Because this is also the most important training subject of the Idar Air Force on weekdays."

Hearing this, Rolf Hawthorne swore and assured.

"only……"

Although he has heard Rolf Hawthorne's promise, Krell still has a little doubt in his heart: "In a sense, the Air Force is indeed more qualified to take on this task than the Idar Army, but …”

"If you have any concerns, just speak up!"

Krell said in a deep voice, "It's the hot air balloon!"

"Eh?"

"If you want to destroy the colossus on the ground in the air, you must carry a sufficient number of magic spar bombs. What I said should be correct?"

Rolf Hawthorne nodded: "Exactly."

"So... this mission cannot be completed by the Griffin Knight."

"Although the Air Force's hot air balloons can allow the Idar Air Force to complete such a sneak attack, after the sneak attack... Can these hot air balloons and the Idar soldiers carried on the hot air balloons return smoothly?" Krel hesitated.

This is not because Krell is thinking too much, but because the distance between the holy city of Bethlehem and the mainland of the Principality of Idar is really not short.

Even if it starts from the Conte Territory west of the Armis Mountains, the fuel that the hot air balloon can store may not be able to return the airmen on the mission smoothly.

To know,

Neither Krell nor the Minister of Defense Sarah Curran, nor the Duke Idar himself who set the target of this operation, could helplessly watch the Idar soldiers fall into the tiger's mouth in order to complete the mission.

indeed,

Destroying the Colossus is important, but so is the life of the Idar soldiers!

Don't give up! Not give up!

This is the basic principle that the Idar army has always adhered to since its establishment!

heard,

Rolf Hawthorne immediately understood, but he just smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about this, because the Idar Air Force never thought of using a hot air balloon to complete this mission!"

"No hot air balloons?"

Even if he is not a member of the Air Force, Krell is very clear that the bombing accuracy of the Idar Air Force now depends entirely on luck.

And if you want to completely destroy the statues located outside the holy city of Bethlehem, you must carry a large number of magic spar bombs.

So when he heard Rolf Hawthorne's words, Krell couldn't help but be slightly taken aback:

"So what? There's no way the Gryphon Knights can carry enough ammo!"

"Use an airship!"

For people in this era, airships are undoubtedly an extremely unfamiliar concept.

But this landmark flying vehicle has left a strong mark on the earth.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, rigid airships represented by zeppelins not only had better capabilities than aircraft of the same period, but also could carry large cargoes of considerable weight.

Especially the zeppelins of the 1930s, even showed extremely brilliant results on transatlantic routes!

Even more exaggerated,

An airship from Eagle sauce has set a world record of 264.2 hours of continuous flight, with a total flight mileage of 15,200 kilometers!

And compared to the hot air balloon of the Idar Air Force, the airship can fly as usual in more complex weather conditions!

Even if the weather is bad, as long as the wind speed does not exceed 30 knots, you can continue to fly.

At the same time, because the Idars have learned the lessons from the crash of the Hindenburg airship, it is naturally impossible to repeat the same mistakes in the selection of gas, and the safety hazards of flammable and explosive are eliminated first, which greatly improves the safety of the airship.

In addition, the selected gas is helium, so even if the airship is hit by a bullet during the flight, there is no need to worry.

If the bullet hole is not large, it is almost unnecessary to deal with it; even if the bullet hole is large, the airship will have enough time to return due to the extremely slow leakage rate of helium.

It is precisely because of the above many advantages that airships have undoubtedly become the best choice for bombing missions instead of hot air balloons!

Armis Air Force Base is located in the northeast of the foothills of Armis, not far from the Hanging Gardens, the temporary residence of Duke Idar Bruno Stuart.

Because Bruno uses the Hanging Garden as his residence for most of the year.

Therefore, not only a large number of troops are stationed in the Armis Air Force Base, but it is also the headquarters of the Idar Air Force and has the largest new weapons testing ground in Idar.

And the new weapons testing ground located in the Armis Air Force Base is a military powerhouse with a security alert level equal to that of the Venice Armory.

As for the airship mentioned by Rolf Hawthorne, it was naturally parked in this military base.

Although Krell is the director of the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, he is mainly responsible for intelligence activities against other forces, so he does not know much about this new type of equipment of the Air Force.

so……

When Major General Rolf Hawthorne first proposed the new weapon "airship" in front of him, Krell naturally came to find out in person.

Because only by seeing what an airship is with his own eyes, Krell and the staff of the Idar Ministry of Defense worked out a more reliable plan of action.

after all……

Valley/span is easy if it's just bombing,

However, the Idar military still needs to consider the safety of the Air Force soldiers and the possible revenge actions that the Church of Light may launch.

As a result, a convoy of Benedict cars set off from the Alhambra, carrying a group of high-ranking Idar army officials, including Krell, Sara Curran, and Rolf Hawthorne. Slowly entered the Armis Air Force Base.

However……

The moment I saw the real airship,

Except for Air Force Major General Rolf Hawthorne, everyone present was Spartan.

The airship docked at the Armis Air Force Base, named "Solenburg".

It is a behemoth created by the military equipment researchers of Idar Public University and based on the rigid airship provided by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!

Especially with a length of about 200 meters and a height of more than five stories, almost as soon as it shows up, it can turn the conventional hot air balloon of the Idar Air Force into slag!

"This big guy... is the airship?"

"With such a weapon... the success rate of this operation will probably double directly!"

Although Sarah Curran, the Minister of Defence, had long known that the Idar Air Force had acquired a new type of equipment called airships, which had been built on the order of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

However, due to the dispensable presence of the Idar Air Force during this period, this was actually the first time that Sarah Column saw the "Sorenburg" airship docked at the airbase.

no doubt,

This airship has extremely beautiful lines and a huge size beyond imagination. If it can really soar in the sky... it will definitely be a shocking beast in the sky!

Air Force Major General Rolf Hawthorne naturally had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. Seeing this, the pride on his face could hardly be concealed.

This is the Air Force!

This is the strength of the Idar Air Force!

at this moment,

He seemed to have seen the Sorenburg rise into the air, as if he imagined that the high-horsepower aero-engine at the rear of the airship made a unique humming sound, while pushing this behemoth to pierce the sky!

Rolf Hawthorne said at last with complacency:

"This is the Sulenburg airship! The latest equipment of the Idar Air Force! It has a super long cruising range and a terrifying load! It is enough to carry dozens of Idar Air Force soldiers and tons of magic spar bombs! "

"Let's not say that it is from the Principality of Idar to the holy city of Bethlehem, even if it is to fly directly to the Kingdom of Cecil, it is absolutely no problem!"

At this moment, even the well-informed Krell couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the "Solenburg" airship with his own eyes.

Defense Minister Sarah Curran must have been prepared, knowing that the Idar Air Force had recently acquired a big guy.

But Krell was not prepared at all!

It wasn't until he heard Rolf Hawthorne's words lingering in his ears that Krell suddenly woke up.

Krell didn't hear any other introductions.

But he keenly captured a word and tons!

Tons of magic spar bombs!

An explosion of this magnitude, not to mention bombing the colossus outside the holy city of Bethlehem, seems... it can also bombard the holy city adjacent to the colossus, right?

then,

Almost in the next instant, Krell stared at the air force commander in front of him with fiery eyes, and said with some trembling:

"We have several such airships in the Principality of Idar!"

heard,

Major General Rolf Hawthorne couldn't help showing a look of regret: "This is the only one currently in service, but..."

"But what?"

"But there are two more airships under construction!"

Krell then asked: "When will those two airships be officially commissioned?"

Don't forget Krell's origin!

Since being entrusted by the Duke of Idar, the young Director of the Central Intelligence Agency of Idar has commanded and participated in the special operations of the Idar Principality several times!

Back then, he played the role of the Idar robber who blocked the road and robbed the caravan. He also personally took command of the "Basel Scalpel" project. In addition, he also participated in many intelligence and sneak attacks behind enemy lines.

With sufficient combat experience, Krell clearly knew that the first sneak attack had achieved the greatest result.

so……

If time permits, Krell naturally hopes to have as many airships as possible to participate in this bombing plan!

I saw Major General Rolf Hawthorne pondering for a moment~www.readwn.com~ and then said:

"Probably... it will take another half a month? I'm afraid it will not be until the end of December."

Hearing this, Krel's face immediately rose with a look of joy:

"It looks like... time is enough!"

"Eh?"

Krell and Sarah Curran looked at each other and said:

"The core task of the Duchy of Idar at present is to prepare for the independence of the Duchy of Idar and the enthronement ceremony of the Duke!"

"So...according to our original plan, we planned to bomb the giant statue standing outside the holy city of Bethlehem in the beginning of January of the following year, after the Duchy of Idar officially declared its independence! It is also dedicated to the people of Idar. A gift!"

"At that time, the three airships will set off together! We must let the Church of Light feel the power of the Idar army!"

Yes!

Just this November,

The members of the Idar House of Commons unanimously passed the "Outline of the Proposal for Requesting the Official Independence of the Principality of Idar", and together with the nobles of the Idar House of Lords, put this proposal on the table of the Idar Council of Ministers .

then……

With the approval of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, and the approval of the Idar Council of Ministers, it is planned that the Duchy of Idar will officially declare its independence on January 1, 540 of the new calendar!

heard,

Rolf Hawthorne's eyes also flashed a flash of excitement:

"Don't worry! The Idar Air Force will definitely live up to its trust!"

"For the Principality of Idar... no, for the establishment of the empire, the first gift of the new year!"

No pop-ups, timely updates!
