Later, because the expedition team was organized to go deep into the Gobi Desert to search for possible ancient Roman treasures and the entire army was destroyed, Aliguo suffered the biggest Waterloo in his life.
He was removed from office and recalled to London.
But as an old Chinese saying goes, misfortune and fortune depend on each other.
It was precisely because of this recall that Ah Liguo escaped a catastrophe.
Because of the name of the guy who succeeded him as ambassador...
It's called Randolph Churchill.
Fortunately, the fate of being Ling Chi was avoided, and the goddess of luck favored Ah Liguo again.
Just last year, the ambassador of the British Empire to the Russian Empire lost the ability to work due to alcoholism. Aliguo won the support of Prime Minister Churchill and was able to go to St. Petersburg to become the new ambassador of the British Empire to the Russian Empire.
At this moment, Aliguo was standing on the high platform of Taksim Square to receive the attention of all the people.
The huge RAF airship in the sky is his best scepter.
At this moment, he seemed to be more dazzling than the Russian tsar beside him, more like the protagonist of today.
"The airships of the Ming Dynasty will not work, but the airships of the British Empire will do!"
"Our British Empire is so powerful!"
Not only officials from small countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, but even officials from Russia themselves gave a thumbs up and sang praises for the strength of the British Empire.
The only person in the audience who did not compliment loudly was the self-pitying Frenchman.
But what can this change?
Oh, stupid Frenchmen!
A Liguo was thinking about whether he should step forward to comfort these Parisian bureaucrats with an inexplicable sense of superiority, when suddenly more enthusiastic applause and cheers sounded in his ears.
"It's amazing, Mr. Ambassador. I didn't expect the new Royal Air Force of the British Empire to be so powerful. The British Empire really deserves to be the guardian of the civilized world!"
"Yeah, so many airships, and... what's that kind of aircraft called? Anyway, with such powerful air power, I think the Prussians will soon go back to the Black Forest to hug sows!"
"and many more?"
A Liguo was stunned, "So many airships? Is three a lot?"
"Haha, Mr. Ambassador, please don't go to Huaqing Palace again, oh no, this is what a damn Ming said, I have read too many barbarian novels, damn it, in short, please stop being humble, you British The airships of the empire are overwhelming, and your wolves in the air have made the Tsar's Cossack cavalry lose their light!"
A duke from the Volyn region of Ukraine praised his powerful British friend endlessly, without even noticing that the faces of the British friend in front of him and the Russian tsar behind him had changed.
Chapter 758 Hold on, don't panic
Alexander II's face darkened.
Because of the relatively low cultural level, the Russian Empire made the same mistake as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, that is, indiscriminate granting of titles, which led to the devaluation of titles.
So Russian dukes are worthless.
But this Duke of Warren is an exception.
Ukraine is divided into Eastern Ukraine and Western Ukraine.
As early as 1654, Khmelnytsky, the leader of the Eastern Ukrainian Cossacks, signed the Pereyaslav Peace Treaty with the Russian Tsar, voluntarily merging Eastern Ukraine with the Russian Empire.
Although Western Ukraine is also an Eastern Slav, and their language is almost the same as Russian, they have always regarded the Polish-Lithuanian Grand Duchy as their home country and considered themselves a member of the Western European world.
It is their consistent ethos to despise Slavic compatriots, look up to and embrace Western Europe, and stick their hot faces to their cold asses.
Although the Russians themselves also keep secret about their constant relationship with the Mongols, they must call Rome and strive to gain the recognition of the Western society, but the faces and behaviors of the West Ukrainians still make the Russians very contemptuous.
The Volyn area is one of the core areas of Western Ukraine. In front of him, the Duke of Volyn licked the British ambassador like a mangy dog, and he didn't take himself, the tsar, at all.
This angered Alexander II.
He has secretly made up his mind that when he becomes the emperor of Rome, he will be entertained with the most authentic ancient Roman bath torture, and let him confess to Augustus among the excrement and maggots.
It was different from Alexander II whose face gradually turned black.
The British ambassador, Aliguo, heard the words of the Duke of Warren, but his face suddenly turned pale.
He quickly raised his head, only to see that there were not only three airships flying from the northwest direction in the sky at this time.
At the same time, from the southeast, dozens of airships and planes flew in densely.
It was the first time Aliguo learned of such things as airplanes from Adolph Churchill's obituary. He was sure that the British Empire never had any airplanes!
"Damn it, that's not an aircraft of the British Empire, it must have been discovered!"
A Liguo yelled, but amidst the warm applause and cheers at the scene, his voice was so inaudible.
The first three airships that appeared in the northwest had arrived over Constantinople, and the people stretched their necks to cheer and wait.
They are no longer interested in dealing with the British ambassador, they are all waiting to see Prince Alfred skydive!
……
At the same time, above the sky, Yang Feihu was driving a seventh-generation Xiaolong aircraft, his eyes fixed on the UFO that appeared in front of him.
"Oh my god, captain, I think there is an unexpected harvest!"
The voice of the pilot Sasuke, with a strong smell of scum, sounded on the radio.
Yang Feihu has always been wondering why Sasuke spoke like this when he was obviously a Japanese native.
If he had the opportunity to go to Taozi Village in Nara and find out who the Daming Zhengyin instructor in the ten miles and eight townships of Taozi Village is, he might know the answer.
But all the Japanese who have eaten roasted leeks at Liu Laogen's food stalls have a taste for it!
But what Sasuke said was indeed what Yang Feihu thought.
I really didn't expect to have a windfall!
It was the first time he saw an aircraft that did not belong to Daming in the sky.
The "Pineapple Pizza" operation is essentially a rescue operation, and the airship with the ability to hover is the main means of delivery.
Just like the American blockbusters of later generations, helicopters are generally used when rescue is involved.
But that doesn't mean that planes can't be used to save lives.
De San rescued Mussolini with a combination of glider + reconnaissance plane.
Their Oak Tree plan is to use 12 DFS-230 gliders, each carrying nine commandos to carry out a storm, and then use a reconnaissance plane to transport the rescued Mussolini away.
But such a plan is not credible to Daming.
Because at that time Mussolini was imprisoned in the Emperor Prairie Hotel, the only building on the Gran Sasso Mountain in Italy.
There are only 200 guards.
So the 230 German elite commandos transported by the DFS-108 glider VS 200 Italian soldiers who sympathized with the Nazis and were extremely dissatisfied with the new recipe of macaroni, the winner of this battle is obvious.
Today, Abdul and Daming diplomats are being held in three prisons in Constantinople, and the number of Russian troops in the entire city exceeds 10.
Although most of the soldiers are preparing for the military parade, they still have a strong defense force, which is by no means comparable to 200 Italian soldiers.
Therefore, Daming's rescue operation must be bolder and more adventurous.
To put it simply, the Ming side must create enough chaos, and have enough detailed intelligence and reliable internal support to complete this rescue operation.
And the required troops cannot be met by a few planes.
Moreover, parking the plane in Constantinople is itself an extremely difficult task.
The combination of various factors predestined this operation, and the airship is still the protagonist.
The planes were just sharing part of the bombing mission in order to create confusion.
But who knew that there were enemies in the sky?
At this moment, the Mi Zi flags on the three airships were clearly visible, and Yang Feihu gave the order without hesitation: "Defend our airships and destroy the invading enemies!"
……
"Criminal?"
If the five hundred gentlemen on the "R-100" airship of the Royal Air Force of the British Empire could hear Yang Feihu's words, they would shout loudly: "Invasion? Please explain to me, what is an invasion!"
The conscience of heaven and earth, when they found the aircraft appearing in the distance, they chose to turn around the first time.
When Daming sees a UFO, he still has to ponder whether it might be a Zeppelin made by Mr. William, but for the British, there is no need to even think about it, it must be an unidentified flying machine!
As for why the explosive flying machine appeared here, there is no need to think too much about it.
At this moment, the only thing the British gentlemen think about is to escape for their lives!
Prince Alfred, who had already put on his skydiving equipment, yelled at the captain to speed up and turn around.
It's a pity that the airship is the same as the giant ship, and it's not easy to turn around.
"Your Highness, don't panic, haven't we tested it, our airship is not afraid of bullets at all, and the Ming people's airships and planes can't hurt us at all!"
The seasoned and prudent "R-100" airship captain Thomas comforted, "Although we chose to avoid the Ming aircraft group out of concern for your safety, this does not mean that the proud Imperial Royal Air Force is afraid of the Ming air force!
We can't hurt them, and they can't do anything about us either! "
Chapter 759 Wonderful Performance
What Thomas said made sense.
In the experiments at the Portsmouth base, whether it was a pistol, a rifle, or even a machine gun, the only thing they could do was poke a few small holes in the thick skin of the "R-100" airship.
The kinetic energy of the bullet is simply not enough to ignite the hydrogen inside the gas bag.
And the air leakage caused by those small holes is just a drop in the bucket for a huge body of 720 feet, not worth mentioning.
Therefore, according to the technical bureaucrats of the engineering department, even when facing the airship groups and aircraft of the Ming Dynasty, the opponents cannot effectively kill the "R-100".
The two sides can only shoot each other with pistols in the air like a gentleman duel.
It is not easy to shoot people with a pistol on the ground, let alone at an altitude of thousands of meters.
"...So, Your Highness, as long as your luck is not too bad, you won't be injured."
Thomas said confidently.
He was the first batch of officers in the Royal Air Force and had received systematic training, so he was calmer than a half-baked naval officer like Alfred.
"Well, I think what you said makes sense."
Alfred nodded, "But I always feel that those guys in the engineering department seem to have forgotten something, but I can't say it for a while... I hope God can bless us, those damn Ming country thugs will not use the plane to come hit us...
But I heard that on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, that thug Sen has a group of North Koreans who call Qisheng to serve the country. In order to become a Ming nationality, they are conducting a damn kamikaze attack!
They would fly planes full of explosives into our warships and only parachute out a few seconds before the plane crashed. It is said that the death rate is very high, it is really terrible! "
"I don't think people would do this. Based on my experience, these planes are not the inferior planes that appeared on the Atlantic battlefield, but the 'Red Baron' that appeared in Beijing that year. Of course, the 'Red Baron' is our take title."
Thomas held up the binoculars and explained, "In short, this precious aircraft is usually piloted by a senior pilot of the same level as me, and it is definitely not a consumable."
Prince Alfred breathed a sigh of relief: "As expected of a seasoned and prudent veteran, Colonel Thomas, your analysis is too reasonable... What a fart! Mingren's plane is coming!"
Prince Alfred pointed forward in horror.
I saw more than a dozen Ming planes escorting them form an attack array, heading straight for the British airship.
At this time, the audience in Taksim Square applauded even more enthusiastically.
Because the soldiers of the British Empire like red, at least for a long time they wore lobster military uniforms to show off their power everywhere, so when the red Xiaolong fighters stood out from the formation and appeared above the square, the people all cheered enthusiastically, They are seen as part of the British Air Force's stunt show.
It can only be said that it is just a wonderful misunderstanding that Ying and Ming shared red.
The guests present took out smuggled black-and-white cameras, or ordered the servants to point the lens at the sky with a clumsy European vertical camera.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"How did this wonderful aircraft fly? I haven't seen any flotation devices like airbags at all!"
"Although they are a little smaller, they look as nimble as eagles. Look, they seem to be gaining height!"
"Hey, it seems that the bellies of these new aircraft have dropped fireworks?"
"It's so beautiful and brilliant. Even in the daytime, these British fireworks still make people's hearts flutter."
"Yeah, those fireworks appeared like lightning in the daytime, and then turned into petals of light, and slowly fell... Oh, holy shit! Those fireworks seem to have landed on the airship."
"It shouldn't matter, it's just some low-purity black powder droplets, it won't have any effect... Oh, holy shit, the airship is ignited, all of them are ignited!"
