1552 The Escaped Noble
The dandelion cluster bomb is an improved category, which has re-optimized the triggering method of the sub-body.
Each Dandelion aviation cluster bomb can drop a hundred new sub-body bombs within a diameter of 100 meters centered on the falling location during the fall.
Each of these bombs contains two and a half pounds of high explosives and half a pound of steel balls, minimizing damage to bunkers such as buildings.
It has trouble even destroying a solid building on its own.
But the damage it causes to any living thing is devastating!
Tens of thousands of small steel balls will instantly flood the entire environment, and they will shoot into any object that cannot stop them.
No matter if it’s a person or anything else!
If the purpose of heavy aerial bombs is to destroy cities to the maximum extent and kill people crudely, then dandelions are for efficient killing of living things!
What's even more frightening is that these sub-body bombs may not all detonate, and their last layer of insurance has also been designed.
To put it simply, after it lands, it will trigger the final safety, and then it will bounce up to a certain extent. When it bounces, the safety will be completely opened, causing an explosion.
But if it just falls on the ground without bouncing, for example, it falls in soft sand, or it simply falls directly on the lawn and becomes embedded in the soil.
Then it won't explode!
But its safety is open. As long as someone picks it up and allows the spring inside it to bounce, it will explode immediately!
This kind of optimization is vicious to a certain extent, because in this era, there are a lot of dirt areas even in cities.
Once these sub-body bombs fall into wet soil, they become a terrible potential hazard.
For example, in the coming summer, once the moisture in the soil is dried out, the soil itself dries up and shrinks, and loses control of the sub-body bomb safety, it will suddenly explode without any warning!
For another example, its conspicuous color will make some people curious about it and pick it out from where...
Once dandelion cluster bombs are dropped, the area will be rated as uninhabitable.
No one knows whether all the hundreds of thousands or even millions of bomblets produced during a cluster drop have exploded.
Or are there some hidden in places that people don’t notice, waiting for people to discover them?
As the first red ball landed, the young man not far away looked at it blankly, watching it bounce after landing.
The bounce was not high, only less than one meter high, but then it sprayed out countless steel pillars!
The young man felt as if he had been pushed hard by someone, and then his consciousness was frozen in the next second and fell into eternal darkness!
There is no huge smoke column comparable to the first round of bombing, but wherever it reaches, everything will fall into silence!
After the second round of bombing, the entire city looked like a dead city!
At the same time, the Gevra people are strongly condemning the Penteo people's undeclared war, calling it an ugly and naked invasion, demanding that the Penteo people stop immediately and pay compensation to Gevra !
The Pengeos refused to admit this. They argued that those were the troops of... country, because some recent events in the Amelia region triggered strong emotions in this country.
Their desire to reclaim the Amelia region and their military operations have nothing to do directly with the Pengeo Empire.
As for that small town?
No one cares, no one pays attention, and no one knows that it has been completely wiped off the map by the Federation.
Perhaps because the two bombing clusters of the Federation were too large, the fighter jets from Gefra also took off in an emergency, and conducted what may be the first real air battle in human history around the border with the country next door!
The battle between fighter jets is actually not romantic at all.
In this era where beyond-visual-range strikes are far from possible, fighter jets are fighting very close to each other.
It was also during this period that the performance gap between fighter jets was not enough to overwhelm each other, and the value of pilots in combat was infinitely magnified!
Some planes destroyed several enemy planes but still suffered no damage and were still fighting in the sky!
Not long after entering the combat zone, some aircraft were smoking and crashing into the wilderness below!
These battles are actually more brutal than the battles on the ground!
The army failed and there was talk of surrender. The plane was destroyed and the only way out was death!
This is probably because the training of pilots in this period was not that complicated, and people had not yet thought of the need to use conventions to protect the lives of pilots.
In the end, Gefra won the air battle with a slight advantage, but this "slender advantage" refers to the number of fighter jets they shot down, which was slightly less than the number of fighter jets shot down by the enemy.
In fact, from the perspective of military observers on the federal side, neither side wins or loses, or in other words, they both lose!
Because none of them achieved their strategic intentions, they were unable to use air power to deal a heavy blow to the enemy to deter the enemy's ambition and invasion intention.
It can even be said that the Gefra people lost!
This almost tie-like ending further increased the ambitions of the Penteo people. There is not much difference between Gaevra's air force and them, which means that in terms of air power, they will not be suppressed!
Don’t forget, the Pengeo Empire claims to maintain 20,000 to 30,000 aircraft during the war. Their terrifying productivity is enough to allow them to use attrition tactics to destroy any enemy of similar level!
Sometimes, large numbers of people are really amazing, and this is why after World War I, the Gefra royal family strongly wanted to turn the island country into a landlocked country!
Narrow islands limit their access to resources and population growth. Only by becoming a continental country can they maintain a leading position in future international situations.
Unfortunately, they woke up too late!
While Gaevra and Penteo continued to surround Amelia as they were being invaded, and were looking for the army that was continuing to advance into the interior, Amelia's original country suddenly launched an attack on Gaevra.
They demanded that Gefra must return the Amelia region immediately, otherwise they would declare war on Gefra and use armed force to take back the land plundered by Gefra!
Every minute, the international situation changes dramatically!
Prime Minister Gafra then delivered a public speech with the theme of "defending the glory of the empire." Faced with unreasonable blackmail by force from Pengeo and other countries, Gafra would not compromise.
Even if the war burns to the island, they will never bow to the evil forces!
Immediately afterwards, the Gaevra nobles fled on a large scale!
"So far, many people still think this is fake news!"
At the table, Lynch was sipping a bottle of wine worth more than 10,000 yuan, while a band in the distance was playing cheerful music with appropriate sounds.
He received guests from Gevra in the manor. As the "Gevra noble" who was the best in foreign countries, under the leadership of the little earl, many people came to Lynch directly with all their belongings.
Even though they had appeared in Lynch's manor, many people in the Federation still did not believe this rumor.
They always feel that... the nobles of Gefra should have some kind of indescribable temperament, at least they should not be able to flee. This is not in line with the federal people's personality of the nobles of Gefra!
In fact, this is a kind of lack of confidence, beautifying some strangers without purpose, and even arguing with others about it.
What happened to the Gefra people?
What happened to the noble Gefra?
Aren’t they all still human?
As long as you are human, you will be afraid!
In addition, not long ago, His Excellency the Prime Minister and the great nobles joined forces to suppress the noble group, many nobles have lost confidence in Gaevra.
In other words, they have lost confidence in the current ruling group.
Do you want to run away once the war reaches the main island?
There is probably no hope!
I heard that the emperor of Pengeo had a mental illness. His favorite thing was to hang an enemy nobleman every day. No one wanted to be captured by the Pengeo people and then sent to the Pengeo Empire to be hanged.
Then fleeing is the best choice. Anyway, the empire has hurt them, and they have no psychological burden on fleeing.
Except for a few nobles who already had choices and goals, almost all the new generation of nobles came to the Federation.
There is a relaxed environment here and close friends like Lynch. Most importantly, the Federation is strong enough!
In order to welcome these people, Lynch had the manor opened and held a welcome party here.
At this time, the little earl's face no longer had any tension, only a slightly tired look of laziness.
He curled his lips after listening to Lynch's words, "Who cares?"
"The war gave the Prime Minister a strong control over Amelia. You don't know if you are not there. He asked us to either take money or send people."
"I don't like him at all!"
The little earl took a sip from the wine glass, his eyes lingering on the girl who was walking past them in cool clothes for a while before taking back, "Everything we have on the main island is frozen."
"The cabinet said it was to protect the property of the nobles, but in fact everyone knows what they think."
"Perhaps we not only have to provide money, but also people, and even lives!"
He put the wine glass on the table, "Since the Prime Minister came to power, many things have changed. Now we have no privileges at all, and he still wants to plunder our wealth."
"We didn't want to leave, they forced us to leave so they could seize our property on the island..."
Lynch didn't know whether the little earl was telling the truth, but it was actually a good thing for the Federation.
Gefra was originally a country with nobles as its backbone, but now that the nobles have all run away, maybe this is a good thing for the Prime Minister.
There will no longer be any obstacles to the political reform of the entire country, but it can only be a beautiful idea to allow those civilians to immediately play the role of nobles and support the country.
Without twenty years, it would be impossible for it to rise again.
But twenty years later, the Federation has already flown into the sky!
