Chapter 0834 British Air Battle
In the British Isles, gunpowder replaced the once blue sky.
British authorities have prepared everything for the war, and in July, they have reached 900 aircraft available and 700 bombers.
The Germans on the other side of the strait mobilized more than 2,600 air forces, which formed absolute suppression in terms of quantity.
However, the UK also has anti-aircraft guns and other fortifications, which makes up for their lack of fighter jets.
Since the 10th, German fighter jets and bombers have been dispatched in groups, and the Battle of Britain has begun.
The real war is boring and cruel, and in one moment, it is possible to stay on the battlefield completely, whether he is an ordinary soldier or a combat hero with great achievements.
Before the attack, the German pilots were full of confidence. The powerful France was defeated and Europe was almost completely occupied. Now there are only lonely British people. When can they last?
With strong confidence and calmness, four German formations of planes took off and rushed to the other side of the strait, hoping to completely destroy the final resistance force.
Fighters passing through the clouds swept across the sea, and soon they saw the road surface, empty roads and villages and farms that looked uninhabited.
They did not waste ammunition here, and the orders they received when they came were not allowed to harm civilians for no reason.
In fact, the main reason is that in their opinion, the farms and roads below are not worth recognizing a bomb.
The fleet quickly sailed to London and appeared above it. Even when they were sitting in the plane, they could hear the harsh air defense alarm below.
The battle started the moment the plane group appeared over London, and missiles were poured down one by one, and there was no "saving" as before at this moment.
Machine guns swept through buildings or roads, and wherever they found resistance, they would receive special attention from interceptors and bombers.
Just as the German army had just completed a round of attack and was about to turn around and make another move, a group of British aircraft from afar rushed towards us.
Dada dada...
Before I could see the model of the enemy plane clearly, the dense bullets as dense as rain were scattered as if they were not worth money, and several fireballs immediately appeared over London.
"Oh~~" Cheers rang out in the shelter, and the civilians hiding here surrounded a radio, fearing that they would miss any message on the radio.
Soon, the German army left in a hurry after dropping more than 30 planes.
The previous plan was completely shocked by the sudden appearance of new British fighter jets. The opponent's flight speed, armor thickness and firepower were completely suppressed.
The arrogant mentality turned into depression, and everyone had a question in their hearts; ‘What kind of plane is it?’
In August, the air force reserves reached 1,600, including 600 lightning and more than 470 hurricane and Spitfire fighters.
The aircraft were arranged in various military bases on the British Isles. In order to avoid being discovered and annihilated, they were asked to be arranged as dispersed as possible.
Although the arms sold to the British authorities are cheap, they can completely make up for the loss of price in quantity. Li Zitao really hopes that the transaction will continue.
But soon cgt's 80,000-ton cruise ship industrial was sunk on its way back to the UK from Canada, which caused the latest batch of 60 lightning to sink all the sea.
When the news reached New York, Li Zitao knew that his business with the UK would be suspended for a while.
"Don't Marshall want to get more planes? Give it to him." Li Zitao was not worried about the skunk's production at all.
Since the beginning of the year, Pioneer Technology's production factory has become a skunk's foundry factory, producing engines, propellers, bulletproof steel plates, missiles, etc. for various studios.
In a short period of time, Pioneer Technology's factories had to be overloaded, which also made Li Zitao temporarily dispel the idea of splitting BMW.
Anyway, all industries are now full of clockwork. Even if BMW has best-selling products, they have to make way for the war. Let's give them some time.
He didn't know whether bmw had a sense of urgency, but Li Zitao knew his sense of urgency very well.
In the past few days, he not only met with the National Science and Technology Administration, but also FBI, CIA, the Military Department and Marshall.
And now sitting in front of him is Treasury Secretary Henry Morgansau Jr. and a senior adviser to the presidential think tank.
The first thing Roosevelt did after taking office was to use the power of the No. 22 Club think tank to form his own presidential think tank.
The cost of this decision is not in a decimal place. To win over top talents, Roosevelt must ask the government to give out real money.
But the effect made him feel that the money was worth it, and he personally thanked Li Zitao for this, thanking the think tank for his words and deeds to those rookies.
"Charlie, how many times have we met?" Morgansau said with a smile while sitting opposite him.
"For the fourth time, I have always had a good memory." Li Zitao said with a slight tilt.
"Haha, who would have thought that today would be there!" Morgansso raised his glass and laughed. Even though he recognized his identity as a super rich man, he still felt incredible about what would happen next.
"How likely is the fat boy plan you mentioned?" Seeing Li Zitao holding a cigar in his mouth, tasting a fine wine, and a calm and natural expression, Morgansour had to take the initiative to mention his purpose this time.
"Do you believe me 100%?" Li Zitao joked, holding the cigar with two fingers and spitting out the cigarette in his mouth, and whispered; "Not everything has a probability or result, isn't DuPont doing it too... Did they say when can it be made?"
A hint of embarrassment and dissatisfaction flashed in Morganso's eyes, and it was fleeting that made people think it was an illusion, "Mr. President just needs some guarantees, this is a million investment."
"Are there many?" Li Zitao said disdainfully with a cigar in his mouth: "If the government can't afford it, leave it all to me."
"Ahem... I don't need it yet. If you need it, we won't forget you." Morgenthau was almost choked to death by his words.
All of them were handed over to him. The government paid millions of US dollars and received only one promise. The research proceeds were only for viewing and use by the American government.
All inventions and patents during the research and development process belong to the two companies, which is the condition obtained by Roosevelt personally communicated with the two companies.
The ongoing "Fat Boy Project" has been in full swing, including manpower, material resources, various instruments and professional requirements, which are beyond the reach of the government's R&D institutions.
If it weren't for this, why would Morgentho sit here? Let Li Zitao be speechless and laugh at him.
"We Chinese are the best people, and Roosevelt is my best friend." Whenever he has the chance, he will show off his relationship with Roosevelt.
It's like when someone talks, he will always use "who can think of" to describe the difference between his achievements and skin color today.
