I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France

The appearance of the Zeppelin disrupted Charles's plan.

He originally wanted to attract the attention of German aircraft by blowing up reconnaissance balloons:

Blow up a reconnaissance balloon, and when a biplane appears and rushes towards another reconnaissance balloon again, everyone, including the German aircraft, will think that the biplane's target is the balloon, and the German aircraft will surround the balloon to provide protection for it.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the biplane suddenly dived to attack the "Big Bertha" on the ground...

The arrival of the Zeppelin made Charles realize that it might be a more attractive target for German pilots. When it was ignited, the explosion and fire would shock everyone, and the Germans would even forget that they had a weapon that could win and needed more protection in their hands-"Big Bertha".

Therefore, Charles immediately turned his target to the Zeppelin.

He divided the fighters into two teams: one team was a biplane plus two "Pigeon monoplanes", and the other team was two biplanes plus three "Pigeons".

The former was led by Major Fisher, and his mission was to blow up the Zeppelin airship.

The latter was led by Eric, and his mission was to blow up the "Big Bertha".

Charles' plan required everyone to become warriors:

"Pilots of the 'Dove Monoplane' must be ready to sacrifice themselves to save the biplane at any time!"

"Biplanes are spears to attack the enemy. If they are destroyed by the enemy, the mission will be doomed to failure."

"Biplane pilots, you must completely entrust your life and safety to the 'Dove'!"

"Your mission is to blow up the target. If you have to avoid the enemy and change the flight path at the same time, it is almost impossible to complete the mission. Even a small maneuver may affect the launch trajectory of the rocket!"

The pilots nodded heavily. They could understand what Charles meant by these words. It was not difficult to understand. The difficult part is... do you really have the courage to do this in actual combat?

Sacrifice yourself to save others?

Or rely on the self-sacrifice of others for your own safety?

It's scary to think about it!

Major Foscher led the first squad to take off first. They rushed to Zeppelin first. At the same time, the second squad also took off under the leadership of Eric and approached "Big Bertha" secretly.

Major Foscher was a little uncomfortable at first.

"I should be the one to bomb "Big Bertha" instead of that drunkard!" Major Foscher muttered: "He always carries that bottle of wine. I have never seen him sober, but we pin our hopes for Antwerp on him!"

However, when Major Foscher saw the big guy of the airship in the sky, his eyes widened.

"Bombing this thing is much more fun than bombing "Big Bertha"!" he exclaimed.

The mission went surprisingly smoothly.

When Major Foscher's three planes approached the airship, the German army did not react at all. The machine guns and planes did not even raise their eyelids, and they were too lazy to even look at them.

Charles, who was standing on the airport observation deck and watching the battle with a telescope, felt strange at first, but soon understood: the Germans did not think they were in danger, after all, the planes of this period were not armed.

The German pilots received orders not to let Charles escape, so they would crash the planes that were about to fly out of Antwerp.

The three planes led by Major Fuscher did not fly out of Antwerp. The Germans thought they were here to admire the "miracle" of the German Empire, so let them open their eyes! Anyway, they can't do anything!

After figuring this out, Charles regretted it a little.

He didn't expect the German pilots to react like this. If he had known this...

There was no need for any plan at all. He could have concentrated three biplanes to bomb the "Big Bertha" with confidence, and then slowly deal with the airship.

At this time, Major Fuscher fired a rocket at the airship.

The rocket hit the airship directly, but surprisingly, it did not explode.

The situation changed immediately... The Germans realized that these Belgian planes were not "harmless" as they thought, and immediately became nervous and attacked them.

The first to attack was the machine gun. With a burst of gunfire, a "Dove" responsible for covering Major Fusher had one wing broken instantly.

It was spinning in the air, losing balance like a wounded bird and falling to the ground. There was no bang or explosion, and it was directly broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

At the same time, the German "Dove" immediately approached Major Fusher. They seemed to have discovered that only biplanes were "armed", so they naturally regarded Major Fusher as a key target.

Major Fusher complained while controlling the plane: "Damn it, this thing is useless, we are wasting our efforts!"

The failure just now made him think that the rocket could not penetrate and could not detonate the airship. What should he do now?

With the mentality of giving it a try, he drove the plane back again, and this time he fired five rockets in one breath.

Anyway, they are useless, what's the point of keeping them? Major Fusher thought so. If time did not allow, he would shoot out all the remaining rockets in one breath!

"Boom!" With a bang, a burst of fire suddenly appeared on the airship.

This frightened Major Fisher, who was not prepared, and he quickly controlled the plane to evade. The two German "Dove" planes that were originally rushing towards him failed to stop their momentum and crashed directly into the rolling flames and were burned to ashes in an instant.

"It's useful, it works!" Major Fisher laughed and couldn't help looking back at his masterpiece.

The airship exploded one after another. It had compartments inside. After one compartment exploded, other compartments exploded, just like falling dominoes, but much more violent than dominoes.

After a while, the entire airship turned into a fireball in the air, and it was like a huge lantern, burning in the air.

Incredibly, it was still suspended in the air. At this moment, it might not be a hydrogen balloon but a gorgeous "hot air balloon".

It seemed to want to stay in the air for a while longer to experience the most splendid and glorious moment of its life, but in the end, it slowly fell down with reluctance and nostalgia amid the desperate screams of the passengers.

Everyone was stunned.

Albert I was shocked. He couldn't believe that just a few small gadgets with tails could destroy such a huge monster. He thought that at most it would only cause a little damage to it or force it to land.

But the fact is that this monster is indestructible on the surface, but it is actually fragile and vulnerable.

Or rather...

A smile gradually appeared on Albert I's face. The correct way to put it is that it was vulnerable in front of Charles.

Albert I's eyes were always on the burning and falling airship, and he asked calmly: "General, do you still think Charles is planning to escape?"

General Guise was speechless. He stared at all this in amazement. He was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. That unremarkable child actually had such great power!

If anyone still thought he was planning to escape at this time, he must be crazy. He didn't want to destroy the Germans, did he? !

Thanks to Wang Tingqiu for the reward! Thank you!
