Chapter 84: A domestic sensation, once again becoming the world's focus
When the last bomb hit the ground and exploded, the entire Wugang base fell silent.
Ruins were everywhere, the ground was devastated, smoke filled the sky, and corpses were scattered everywhere...
This is the current Wugang base.
Since this bombing was mainly aimed at the Wugang base, it did not target the surrounding residential areas.
Therefore, the factories in the Wugang base area were destroyed very thoroughly.
Thick smoke billowed and flames shot up into the sky.
The wreckage and debris of buildings were scattered everywhere, and bomb craters of various sizes were spread throughout the area.
There is hardly a complete building left.
Unfortunately, due to the launching ceremony of the heavy cruiser Atago today, these shipyards are closed for the day and there is no one here.
Otherwise, a large number of Fuso shipbuilders could be killed or injured.
They are the foundation of Fuso's shipbuilding industry.
As for the machinery factories, they can still be bought and built even if they are blown up.
But now that the shipbuilders are gone, it’s not so easy to train them.
The slipway was the target of concentrated fire from the bombing groups, and the area with the most concentrated bombing was naturally the slipway where the battleship Ise was located.
At this moment, even half of the island of the Ise battleship was blown down, and the flames engulfed the giant ship from the inside out.
There were more than a dozen holes of various sizes on the body of this giant ship, and flames continued to spew out of these holes, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
If this giant ship continues to burn like this without damage control, it can basically be declared delisted and the possibility of repair is not great.
As for the other civilian ships on the slipway, some were almost completed, while others were still having their keels laid, and they were also not spared.
However, the heavy cruiser Atago, which had just been launched and was ready for service, escaped the disaster.
Atago had already started its boilers the day before the ceremony.
So when the sailors of the Fuso Navy saw that the situation was not good, they drove the heavy cruiser Atago away.
However, the sinking of the Ise battleship is also very good news for the Air Force.
What's more, they have completely destroyed Wugang.
It is basically impossible for the Japanese to rebuild Wu Port in a few years.
After the bombing, which lasted for nearly an hour, ended, rescue workers began to enter the scene to carry out rescue operations.
According to later on-site statistics, the casualties from this bombing alone reached more than 4000.
Among them were casualties caused by stampedes.
But most of them were caused by bombing.
Of course, the Fuso top leaders did not take the loss of personnel seriously. They just took a look and threw it aside.
What they are most concerned about is the Wugang Shipbuilding Base.
The news of the bombing of Wu Port was soon delivered to the Emperor.
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Emperor Tamehito.
He originally thought that today was just a slightly more important launching ceremony.
But who would have thought that Wugang, which is so far away from the ancient country, would be bombed.
Not only was the Wugang Shipyard completely destroyed, but the battleship Ise was also blown up and could not be repaired.
This loss is undoubtedly huge for Fuso.
"Baga, Baga Yalu! Damn the Restoration Army, they all deserve to die!"
At this moment he could no longer remain calm and continued to roar.
This was not the first time that the Renaissance Army had brought them such great humiliation.
When the emperor regained some of his sanity, his eyes began to flicker.
The bombing of Fuso by the Restoration Army also shows that the Restoration Army already has the ability to threaten Fuso's homeland.
The bombing of Wugang this time shows how destructive it is.
This time it’s Wugang, so where will it be next time?
Is it Xijing?
"Quick, call a meeting before the emperor. All ministers and important generals must be present!"
The emperor felt a little uneasy at the thought that Xijing would also be bombed.
He must do everything he can to protect Xijing from being bombed.
The news that the Fuxing Army had assembled nearly 300 large bombers to bomb Wu Port spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed.
The Northern Xinjiang, Southern Alliance, Northern Frontier and other forces were all shocked and felt it was outrageous after receiving the news.
They knew that the Renaissance Army's air force was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be this powerful.
This is the native land of Fuso.
The Restoration Army's air force was actually able to bomb Fuso's homeland across a distance of one or two thousand kilometers.
This seemed like a fantasy to them and they couldn't understand it.
But the Renaissance Army did it.
Not only did they bomb Fuso's homeland, they also destroyed Wu Port, the largest shipyard.
The Restoration Army is able to bomb Fuso's homeland across a distance of one or two thousand kilometers, which also means it has the ability to cover the entire country.
Yuan Shicheng, who was closest to the scene, was undoubtedly the most panicked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his Prime Minister's Office was in danger at any time.
"Quick, find me a secret palace. We can't live here anymore!"
Wu Zhichang of the Southern Alliance had a complicated expression when he heard the news.
I didn't expect that the Restoration Army already has the ability to threaten Fuso's homeland.
But the stronger the Renaissance Army became, the more vigilant he and the entire Southern Alliance became.
"If we want to realize our ideal of unifying the country and establishing a republic, we must first deal with Jiang Hua and his Renaissance Army."
"I agree!"
The two people who spoke were the leaders of the Lu family and the Gu family of the Southern Alliance.
Among them, Lu Jianzhang of the Lu family is the finance minister of the SAARC faction, in charge of the economic direction of the entire SAARC.
Gu Ziqi, the head of the Gu family, is the president of the SAARC Executive Yuan and is in charge of government agencies.
As the President, Wu Zhichang was in charge of the military.
The three major families in the Southern Alliance can be said to have a clear division of labor and checks and balances between them, and they also cooperate with each other. None of the three parties can be missing.
Since the Lu and Gu families have reached an agreement, then joining forces to fight against the powerful Fuxing Army has become the consensus of the entire Southern Alliance.
"Fu Changqing is in a state of panic, and I think he really needs our help.
As for Yuan Shicheng...he could hardly protect himself and was unable to lend a helping hand to Changqing.
We are the only ones who can save him now.
I suggest sending troops to support Fu Changqing."
The person who spoke was Lu Jianzhang.
Wu Zhichang frowned slightly and said, "But if we want to rush to Jinyuan to help, we need to go through not only Jingbei Province in the northern border, but also Qin Province in the northwest where Sima Army is stationed. Do you think it's possible?"
This actually tells the truth, so they are now powerless to deal with the Renaissance Army.
The most urgent task is to capture the two ridges first and put an end to this rebellion.
The news that the Fuxing Army dispatched hundreds of large bombers to bomb the Wugang Shipyard in Fuso also caused a great sensation internationally.
Fuso's Kure Shipyard is definitely one of the world's top shipyards.
Although its equipment is not as advanced as that of the West, it is still able to build world-class warships.
For example, the pride of the Fuso Navy, the Nagato battleship, was built at the Kure Shipyard.
And how many countries in the world can build battleships?
Not to mention five fingers, you can count them on at least ten fingers.
John, Citi, Hans, Gaul, Noodles and Fuso, there are only six countries in total.
As for the Russians? Sorry, they can't even produce large-caliber naval guns, let alone battleships.
At this time, all countries that could build battleships were industrial powers with strong comprehensive strength.
The Russian bear doesn’t count yet.
It's good enough that the rotten Russian bear can build a heavy cruiser.
In a short period of time, the Renaissance Army twice caused a huge sensation in the world's military.
The first was the Battle of Canghai, which resulted in the complete annihilation of the Fuso fleet.
The second time was the bombing of the Kure Port Shipyard in Fuso.
The Prime Minister of John Country put down the newspaper with a serious expression.
"Gentlemen, I'm afraid the situation in the East is getting out of our control."
The strength displayed by the Renaissance Army is truly astonishing.
"To bomb the Kure Shipyard in Fuso over a distance of over a thousand kilometers, and to organize such a large fleet...even we can't do that.
Our most advanced Harry Page bomber can carry three tons of bombs, but it can't fly that far."
This also means that they have even fallen behind the Eastern Renaissance Army in the field of bombers, which is simply ridiculous in their eyes.
"Hasn't our intelligence agency figured out the source of the Restoration Army's weapons? The weapons they're using are so advanced, only a handful of countries can produce them. Is there no trace at all? I simply don't believe it."
The Prime Minister looked at a general who was in charge of the intelligence department.
"Our intelligence department still has no results.
We have not only investigated several suspected targets, but also investigated the Restoration Army.
Their weapons just appeared out of nowhere, and there was no way to trace them.”
It's not just John's intelligence department that's like this; the intelligence systems of other major powers are the same.
They never imagined that all the weapons and equipment of the Renaissance Army came from the Red Alert Base.
The Red Alert base is covered by a crack generator.
This is one of the super weapons of the Red Alert base and a product of super-civilization technology. How could they possibly find it?
"We also want to develop heavy bombers..."
The one who shouted this was the air force general of Hans.
The bombing of Fuso Wu Port by the Restoration Army also demonstrated to the world the power of strategic bombing.
These heavy bombers flew thousands of miles and easily destroyed a shipyard that had cost huge amounts of manpower and material resources and took decades to develop.
If they also had such bombers, they could cover the entire Western Continent.
John, Gaul, and the Bear are all within the coverage range of Hans' heavy bombers.
Jiang Hua, on the other hand, just sat back and watched the changes in the world.
The bombing of Wugang was very successful, as can be seen from the photos taken.
Although it was revealed that the Renaissance Army possessed the ability to carry out long-range strategic bombing, there is no force that can threaten the Renaissance Army now.
So Jiang Hua was not afraid.
"The next target is the big board, but unfortunately it still takes ten days to prepare, so we can't see it right away."
