The war really broke out, but the first reaction to everyone was not shock, but a deep sigh of relief.
There is no way, the topic of hegemony war has been hyped in the newspapers for several months.
As if before the storm, the air was filled with a depressing breath. In recent months, the European people have been in a tense atmosphere, and their nerves have been lifted.
Now that the war really broke out, everyone's tense nerves were finally relieved.
The nerves of the people are relaxed, but the nerves of the governments of various countries are highly tense. Especially the three countries of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands need to bet on luck, and they dare not relax for a moment.
The gate of the city caught fire, which affected Chiyu. Too much has happened in history, and the politics of this year are really unfriendly to small countries.
Although France is not a small country, the eldest and the second in a decisive battle, accidentally killing the third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth... not only in the market, but also in international competition.
France, which suffered five hardships and seven injuries, has not yet emerged from the shadow of the war, and can't stand the toss now.
It is a pity that most of the forward airfields of the Shinra Air Force are located in the northern region of France, and the front headquarters of the enemy is located in Calais.
The distance from the famous Dunkirk in later generations is only a few dozen kilometers; the closest place to the British Isles is less than 70 kilometers in a straight line.
Being able to sit firmly as the king of France without being driven down, Carlos is naturally not an ordinary person.
Perhaps there is no heroic talent, nor extraordinary internal affairs ability, but Carlos still lacks the most basic strategic vision.
In recent years, the Holy Roman Empire has been building several military fields along the coast of France, clearly targeting the British.
Carlos has long been aware of the Shinra Air Force's plan to bomb the British Isles, or the strategy of bombing London.
If you just borrow the venue, or you need to provide logistical supplies, that's all. The problem is that once the strategic bombing of the Shinra Air Force starts, the British are bound to retaliate.
I don't know if the British Air Force can drop the bomb on the mainland of Shinra, Carlos, anyway, it will be no pressure to drop the bomb on the mainland of France.
With the hit rate of aircraft bombing this year, even if it does not deliberately find fault, just to destroy the airports in the coastal areas, France will pay a heavy price.
"Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi."
Now the French government has lost its voice in the international community. There are only two choices left for them: either accept the face with joy, or be forced to accept the reality with a gun around the neck.
In the Palace of Versailles, the slightly old Carlos asked: "How is the communication? Has the Vienna government agreed to increase our anti-aircraft firepower?"
It is not easy to be a king, especially the king of France. As if cursed, successive regimes in France have been very short-lived since the era of the Great Revolution.
In the past less than a hundred years, the Bonaparte Dynasty, the Orleans Dynasty, and the Bourbon Dynasty have all gone up and down.
After a long time, the restoration was successful, and Carlos naturally did not want to be driven down again. In order to consolidate his rule, Carlos has been working hard since he succeeded to the throne.
In addition to sorting out internal affairs and cleaning up domestic messes, there have also been great breakthroughs in diplomacy.
Although it has not yet broken away from the shackles of the Vienna Peace Conference, it has eased its relations with European countries, especially with the Vienna government.
Foreign Secretary Pietro: "No, we've been rejected again, but we've got a break.
The Vienna government said the Allies would keep us safe, and they didn't think the British would not go far inland. As long as the defense is on the coast, there is no need to increase the anti-aircraft firepower of the inland cities. "
There is no doubt that this is clearly not an issue of anti-aircraft firepower. "The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner." The protagonist of this hegemonic war is the Holy Roman Empire.
In addition to being really worried, the request to increase air defense firepower under the pretext of ensuring the safety of the people is more of a test of the Vienna system.
It is unrealistic to completely get rid of the shackles on the body. But any hint of ambition in this regard will bring disaster to the fragile France.
But things still need to be done. If France wants to embark on the road of healthy development, it must first return to the sequence of normal countries.
It is a pity that the Vienna government is unwilling to let go, and the anti-French alliance countries, which are vested interests, need not count on it.
After thinking about it, Carlos sighed: "Forget it, it seems that this is not the time to talk about this. After the hatred fades, look for opportunities!
How is the communication with the British, is it possible... "
Seeing the foreign minister's gloomy expression, Carlos knew that the result was not optimistic, and naturally he couldn't go on.
If you think about it, it's right. Judging from the centuries-old "traditional friendship" between Britain and France, stabbing each other is a normal operation.
With the face of the French government, it is unreliable to want the British fighter jets not to attack the French mainland.

December 29, 1904, weather: sunny, wind force 2-3, heavy fog in London…
Looking at the information from the meteorological department, Malvin Antonio Chavez, an Air Force general, was looking ashen at the moment.
Another good weather is not false, but unfortunately the weather in the "Calais area" is good, and London is still full of haze ghost weather.
In an area where the visibility is less than fifty meters, it is almost impossible to hit the target accurately.
In addition to the low hit rate, the bigger problem is the safety of the aircraft itself. Not only is it easy to get lost, but it is also possible to collide.
Time waits for no one, and the war has broken out. No matter how big the difficulties are now, battles are still to be fought.
Admiral Malvern: "The core military ports of the British Isles are London, Liverpool and Aberdeen, and most of the Royal Navy's home fleet also docks at these three ports.
Our bombing targets this time are also the three ports mentioned above. But recently, the weather in London is too bad and the visibility is very low, which is not suitable for air force operations.
Taking into account the actual situation, China decided to start with Liverpool and Aberdeen. As for the symbolic bombing of London, there is no need to take risks.
The relevant information was sent to each of you three days ago, and now we are starting to formulate a detailed combat plan, and strive to ... "
Hardly impossible, London has smog weather as cover, it is easy to bomb London, but it is very difficult to cause effective killing.
In the case that the hit rate cannot be guaranteed, then only the quantity can be piled up, but now the quantity cannot be obtained.
The Shinra Air Force is naturally not short of personnel and aircraft. The problem is safety. High-altitude bombing is good, and it is relatively less affected by smog.
A loss-making business cannot be done, and in this context, the bombing target is temporarily changed. Targeting other port cities in the UK is exactly what it should be.
The first unlucky one was naturally the military port, and being able to catch the Royal Navy and beat them together, there was really no reason to refuse.
