I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

How did you get to the damned India? Well, Xuete, why is the number of planes in the Ming Dynasty still increasing sharply!

How did the Ming people do it?

No one can give Arthur an answer.

According to pre-war intelligence, Mingren's steel output was only 600 million tons.

This figure combined with the 350 million tons of the Germans is not comparable to the amazing and proud 1000 million tons of steel production of the British Empire.

Even if Ming people have an advantage in the production of aluminum, the difference in proportion is definitely not too big, right?

War is a competition for industrial background, and the British Empire should be the leader in this respect!

However, as the war progressed, the British Empire was full of confidence from the beginning, and later left some spare power, waiting for France, Austria-Hungary, and Russia to bleed first. Now, the British Empire has no choice but to go to battle with all its strength. The horsepower is turned to the maximum.

But what about the Ming Dynasty?

All kinds of information obtained by the Imperial Military Intelligence seemed to point to a terrible and absurd fact.

Ming country...

He is growing himself step by step, digesting the newly acquired territory.

Fengdu Cinema still has new releases, and there is an endless stream of young people watching movies on weekends;

The overall protection project of Beiping is in an orderly manner, and the Ming government has the intention to restore this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties intact.

They seem to want to select several locations across the country to solidify and seal up the customs of the previous era, as special tourist attractions for the next generation to educate the next generation;

In addition, the Jinling Special Economic Zone, which has been established for eight years, the Tianjin Special Economic Zone, which has been established for six years, and the Shijiazhuang New District, which has taken advantage of the Olympic winds, are full of black smokestacks and construction sites. I don’t know how much cement and steel have been consumed.

Even in the newly conquered Vietnam, some people have started to build roads and reservoirs!

These all cost money!

In such a situation, how dare the Ming Dynasty explode the plane, how could it explode the plane?

Do you think planes are Indian cow dung?

Can it be sprayed out with a flick of its tail?

On the other hand, the British Empire, the Imperial Army has invested so much resources, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences have brought together so many elites, and now there is no shadow of the plane, and only a few can barely make do with dropping bombs on the Germans. The airship, also had accidents again and again.

What happened to such a country?

Prince Arthur couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He felt that this must be a system problem.

Chapter 789 Gentleman's Fist

Prince Arthur walked down the viewing area and quietly went around to a hidden place behind a complex of buildings.

Parked here is a Daming Rising Sun Model C car that doesn't even have a sticker.

Arthur wondered: "Is this a Chinese car? Shouldn't we go to the air-raid shelter?"

Lord Lytton shook his head again and again: "Your Highness, how can you take refuge with them? Those air-raid shelters were dug by Indian laborers, but because of the sudden appearance of the Great Famine, there was a serious shortage of labor, so although these air-raid shelters were dug, But not fully dug..."

"That is to say, between choosing to build a beautiful viewing area and impressive villa complex, and building a solid and deep air-raid shelter, you chose the former?" Prince Arthur asked.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to discuss these technical issues, I think we should hurry up and get in the car!" Lord Lytton quickly suggested.

……

When he finally got into the car with Arthur, Lord Lytton wiped his sweat.

It's really tiring to talk to such a stupefied young prince.

Isn't it nonsense to choose to build a villa or an air-raid shelter?

Without beautiful and decent buildings on the ground, who would have known that my Great Britain was so powerful?How can I take good-looking photos and make Her Majesty Victoria happy!

As soon as she is happy, maybe my lord can move up a bit?

As for the rebate for building a house, it must be more than digging a hole!

Do you really want to follow what the "New Berlin" newspaper said, building sewers in Fengdu and other places like the people of the Ming Dynasty, and saying stupid things like "sewers are the conscience of a country and a nation"?

……

At the same time, what puzzled A Liguo, Litton and others was that the plane group of Ming Kingdom suddenly deviated from the direction and flew towards Calcutta halfway through their arrival.

"Could it be that the Ming people didn't know that we were holding a celebration at all, and they just wanted to bomb Calcutta?"

Many people have such doubts in their hearts.

But Litton soon thought of something.

A few tens of seconds later, a huge mushroom cloud rising over Calcutta also confirmed his guess.

Being able to cause such an equivalent explosion is definitely not the only effect that can be produced by the explosion of the bomb dropped on the plane.

The only explanation is that the Ming people accurately bombed the Calcutta arsenal, and a large number of explosives accumulated in the arsenal exploded in chains.

The British and Indian governments have seven arsenals, and the production level is not bad.

Back then, the British supported the Yaguba rebels in the battle against Zuo Chu, and the rifles they used were produced by Indian arsenals.

However, the only arsenal capable of producing anti-aircraft cannons is the Calcutta arsenal.

With its explosion, India no longer has the ability to produce the anti-aircraft artillery that threatens the Ming airship.

As for the plane?

Wanting to use this kind of primitive anti-aircraft gun to take down Ming's Xiaolong fighter is simply a dream.

Moreover, two artillery experts from the Royal Academy of Engineering were also buried in the big explosion.

Although their status as engineers is not low, Litton still did not invite them to participate in the conference, but worked overtime to direct the lazy Indian workers to produce cannons.

Their death means that in the short term, it is impossible for the British and Indian governments to replicate production in other arsenals.

Seeing the rising mushroom cloud, the nobles who had never seen such a violent explosion panicked even more.

The nobles who were not directed to the air-raid shelter rushed to escape.

The European nobles were better off. They were not many in number, and with the help of soldiers, most of them escaped.

And the Indian princes with the largest number of people were all crowded together, and no one would let anyone else go. On the contrary, none of them could leave.

Aliguo firmly occupied the best position, whether it was Indians or Europeans, they came to fight one by one, and it seemed like Sparta was reborn for a while.

He even saw an Indian woman who was missing two front teeth, and thought of taking up some space on his side.

Ah Liguo kicked her down the steps with a gentleman's fist, and went to befriend the French envoy.

……

Lord Lytton, who was already in the car, was not frightened by the explosion, but became worried: "It seems that there are indeed traitors who betrayed the empire... Fortunately, Your Royal Highness, our car is a top secret, and no more than Three, no one will do anything to the car."

"That's good, let's go quickly! Take a hidden path, and don't be discovered by people with knowledge!" Prince Arthur was obviously frightened by the big explosion, and urged him again and again.

"Don't worry, this is the original car, the performance is nothing to say!"

Lord Lytton did not arrange for a driver, but turned the key himself, stepped on the accelerator, and with the rumble of the engine, the Rising Sun Type C started.

When no one was around, Litton had already used the bus for private use, and he did not know how many times he drove in the wilderness of India.

Cars are always a man's romance.

Even if it's as expensive as Xunzong, it's a good mood to drive a car.

He even had the wild experience of driving Nixon all the way to death.

It is hard to imagine that one day Zhu Fugui will drive Victoria to Qiuming Mountain for racing.

But that is the reality.

I don't know if it was for escape, or because he was addicted to his hands and feet, Litton stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the speed of more than 70 mph scared King Arthur to howl.

"Your Highness, look, as I said, this car is amazing!"

"What are you talking about? The wind is too strong, I can't hear you!"

……

God is sorry, at a speed of 70 mph, the wind is not enough to make people unable to hear the voices of the neighbors.

In fact, Daming's planes had already started bombing the imperial camp, and the sound of the huge explosion was deafening.

Those senior nobles above earl who hid in the air-raid shelter were not even killed by Ming's bombs.

It was because of the slight crustal vibration caused by the explosion that the Indian coolies cut corners, and the air-raid shelters built by fighting for working hours collapsed in a large area.

For these guys, Zhu Fugui, who read the combat report afterwards, can only say that those who dare to fly in Indian planes are fierce people, and those who dare to enter the Indian air-raid shelter are even fiercer among fierce people.

May they rest in Bangalore, ahem, Calcutta.

……

Looking at the almost plowed venue, the Indian princes who were blocked in the viewing area trembled.

In particular, the [-] British troops stationed almost endured the indiscriminate bombing.

Daming's planes came round after round, and bombs and incendiary bombs fell as if they were saturated with money.

Some British troops raised their guns and fired, while others fled in all directions.

But according to visual inspection, at least one-fifth, that is, [-] British troops were directly fried into minced meat or burned into coke.

At least half of the British soldiers who survived were injured to varying degrees.

Chapter 790

Severe burns are also very difficult acute injuries until later generations, with high mortality and disability rates, not to mention the current medical level in India is really unsatisfactory.

Even if it was just a shrapnel injury from a shell, it would be very fatal to the British troops stationed in India without antibiotics.

Nightingale, the goddess of lanterns, was nursing the wounded of the British and French coalition forces in Belgium. She had no way to come to India to nurse these wounded.

On both sides of the Brussels front where the British and French allied forces and the Germans repeatedly competed, two myths circulated.

One is Florence Nightingale, the "Goddess of the Lamp".

One was called "Mad Male Nurse" Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

The former improves the survival rate of the wounded through careful care.

The latter stimulated the will of the wounded and improved their survival rate by shouting "God is dead" and "the will to power" and reciting "My Struggle" in the wounded and sick camp.

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, but obviously, neither Nightingale's physical therapy nor Nietzsche's spiritual therapy can be enjoyed by the British army in India.

The only thing they can enjoy is probably the nagging of those chaplains in the army.

Theoretically speaking, these wounded who will not die for a while will become a huge burden on the British and Indian troops.

But there is also a possibility that they may not become burdens, but tears of the times.

Objectively speaking, Westerners in the age of great voyages did take considerable risks when sailing all over the world.

In a place like India where there are so many snakes, insects, rats and ants, where various infectious diseases gather in one pot, no matter how strong the physique is, people may die suddenly at any time.

Since 20 years ago in Turkey, the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers of the British Empire was as high as 42%, and today, 20 years later, in India, where the conditions are even worse, the mortality rate of the wounded has doubled to 84%. What's wrong?

Using such a result to explain to the cabinet and the masters of Congress will not be severely criticized.

At least the civil servants of the Reichs Veterans Office will definitely open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

……

Of course, Lord Lytton was not yet aware of the plight of the Calcutta garrison, nor had he figured out how to write a report to the gentlemen of Parliament.

He is still driving wildly.

Lord Lytton was out of sight and out of mind, but someone could clearly see such a purgatory scene.

That is the 288 princes and their personal servants of India.

The viewing area where they were trapped was naturally the place with the best view of the venue.

When the Daming bomb fell, dust a few meters high burst up, and in the dust, there were still broken limbs and arms from time to time, and occasionally fell into the viewing area, and fell on the head of a fat Indian prince.

Sometimes watching death up close is more terrifying than facing death yourself.
