Sprinkling of gentle sunlight to the land, the warm aura made one wallow. In the wharf, the boiler sound of ships has resounded, is busy a day. 柔和阳光的洒向大地,暖洋洋的气息令人沉迷。码头上,船舶的锅炉声已经响起,又是忙碌的一天。 „Does Tom, know? We and Austria made war altruistic.” “汤姆,知道嘛？我们和奥地利人开战了。” Self-examines the prologue that answered to the grey clothes man, the people have been unalarmed by strange sights. The manual labor in wharf, is arid and tasteless, must look for a pleasure to relax. 对灰衣男子自问自答的开场白,众人已经见怪不怪了。码头上的活计,枯燥而又乏味,总得找点儿乐子放松一下。 Chatting, without doubt is the most inexpensive pastime. In wharf crowded, is the news quickest place, may supply the talking nonsense topic to be many. 闲聊,无疑是最廉价的消遣方式。恰好码头上人来人往,又是消息最灵通的地方,可供扯淡话题很多。 Tom flips the supercilious look, puts toward the leg on the cargo in hand: „ John, your rubbish. 汤姆翻了翻白眼,把手中的货物往腿上一放:“约翰,你这不废话么。 I also know , is not only and Austria makes war altruistic, and makes war with various European countries. Begins work to start from today, the great people were discussing, my ear not deaf. 我还知道不光是和奥地利人开战,并且还是和欧洲各国一起开战。从今天上工开始,大人物们就在议论,我的耳朵又没聋。 However, this and we have what relations. Should work must work, do you want to enlist in the military? ” 不过,这和我们有什么关系。该干活还是要干活,难道你想要去参军？” In Britain, „enlistment” also has the threshold, is not the light, well-born enlists strong. 在不列颠,“参军”也是有门槛的,不是光身体强壮、身家清白入伍。 The peace age lobster soldier point(s) the person, does not need to recruit massively ; The navy requests to be higher, the illiterate person basically was don't thinks. 和平年代龙虾兵就那么点儿人,根本就不需要大规模招募;海军要求更高,文盲基本上是甭想了。 Now the war broke out, the lobster soldier truly started to increase enrollment, but goes in now works as the cannon fodder. 现在战争爆发了,龙虾兵确实开始扩招了,可是现在进去就是当炮灰。 Meanwhile makes war with the entire continental Europe, the naval battle royal navy truly did not instigate where ground warfare that dies. 同时和整个欧洲大陆开战,海战皇家海军确实不怂,陆战那就是打哪儿死哪儿。 The experience of general public is not perhaps high, but the most basic general knowledge cognition, everyone has. 普通民众的见识或许不高,但是最基本的常识认知,大家还是具备的。 „!” Saying that John disdains: „Tom, you also on this experience. When I am a fool, at this time enlisted in the military?” “切！”约翰不屑的说道:“汤姆,你也就这点儿见识。当我是傻子么,这个时候参军？” Stopped for several seconds, sees Tom not to answer, John from attending to saying: „ Do not think that the war and we have not related, the war price will definitely rise together. 停顿了几秒,见汤姆没有回话,约翰又自顾说道:“别以为战争和我们没有关系,战争一起物价肯定会涨。 Forgot not, we must import several million tons agricultural product from Holy Roman Empire every year. Now suddenly does not have, big is such gap can it be that good to make up? 莫忘了,我们每年都要从神圣罗马帝国进口数百万吨农产品。现在突然没了,这么大的缺口岂是好补的？ Flames of war, our trade with various European countries must interrupt. Supposing, receives on the cost must reduce exactly. ” 还有战火一起,我们同欧洲各国的贸易也要中断了。估摸着,接下来码头上的活也要减少了。” Other is unimportant, the price must rise with the wharf receives work to be short, actually the deep influence ironed in the people heart. 别的都不重要,物价要涨和码头上活少了,却深深的影响烙在了众人心头。 Started to calculate, own family property can store up how much grain ; In wharf did not have exactly, then can do anything. 纷纷开始盘算了起来,自己的家底能够囤积多少粮食;码头上的活没了,接下来又能够去干点儿什么。 More wants more to feel the issue to be serious, suddenly the complexion overcast sky of people, the interest of chatting was done not to have. 越想越觉得问题严重,一时间众人的脸色阴云密布,闲聊的兴致都被搞没了。 Suddenly, the sharp howling sound resounds, accordingly toward going impressively is the group of blotting out the sky. 突然,尖利的呼啸声音响起,应声往去赫然是铺天盖地的飞机群。 Limited to the technology, the aviation fuel of this year is also very expensive. Idles being all right, British Air force will not be concentrating so many fighter aircraft to play absolutely. 受限于技术,这年头的航空燃油也是很昂贵的。闲着没事,英国空军绝对不会集中这么多战机玩儿。 The worker in harbor has not responded, but the royal navy stationed in not far away, actually detected the issue. 港口上的工人还没有反应过来,但是驻扎在不远处的皇家海军,却察觉到了问题。 Does not know that was who shouted „enemy raided”, near the ear transmitted is full explosive sounds. 不知道是谁喊了一声“敌袭”,紧接着耳边就传来了是一片铺天盖地的爆炸声。 The brick, soil and tile, and even the human body stump residual limb from the sky flutters about, the weeping sound, shout and praying for rescue sound are lingering on faintly. 砖块、泥土、瓦片、乃至人体残肢在空中纷飞,哭声、喊声、求救声不绝于耳。 Downward from the space, the whole world only had three colors: The sky-blue of sea, everywhere splashing down gray-black, as well as is mixing with eye-catching bright red. 从天上往下看,整个世界只剩下了三种颜色:大海的蔚蓝色,到处正在溅落的灰黑色,以及其中夹杂着的夺目的鲜红。 That at present has, making Major General Winston of duty have a big shock, after responding, immediately ordered: „Quickly, orders to go on board, set sail and leave port!” 眼前发生的一幕,令值班的温斯顿少将大惊失色,反应过来后,当即下令道:“快,命令所有登船、启航、出港！” Organization air defense? 组织防空？ Here is the Liverpool port, situated in northeastern England, the place closest to continental Europe is also several hundred kilometers. 这里是利物浦港,位于英格兰西北部,距离欧洲大陆最近的地方也有数百公里。 Beforehand everyone has not thought that here will be raided. Even if makes the air defense to prepare, is still London is doing. 事先大家根本就没有想到过,这里会被空袭。就算是做防空准备,也是伦敦在做。 However, the haze in winter saved London, Liverpool this thinks that the safe port city, encountered the heavy hammer of Holy Roman air force. 然而,冬日里的雾霾拯救了伦敦,利物浦这座认为安全的港口城市,遭到了神罗空军的重锤。 Without the means that who lets them happen to the bombing coverage scope of Holy Roman air force? If farther, for example Aberdeen of Scotland, because the distance escapes. 没办法,谁让他们正好在神罗空军的轰炸覆盖范围之内呢？如果再远一些,比如说苏格兰的阿伯丁,就因为距离逃过一劫。 If only the distance is near, then Hastings in Straits of Dover and Margate, from continental Europe also less than 100 kilometers, as if should be injured in a bombing. 如果只是距离近,那么地处多佛尔海峡的黑斯廷斯、马盖特,距离欧洲大陆还不足一百公里,似乎更应该挨炸。 What a pity, Hastings and Margate are the countryside small places, is the city, might as well said that is the big point town, is not worth specifically aiming. 可惜,黑斯廷斯和马盖特都是乡下小地方,与其说是城市,还不如说是大一点的镇子,根本就不值得专门针对。 In comparison Liverpool was different, perhaps in later generation London one-party rule, this port city is common ; But now here is actually the core city of Britain, the importance is next to London. 相比之下利物浦就不一样了,或许在后世伦敦一家独大,这座港口城市非常不起眼;但现在这里却是不列颠的核心城市,重要性仅次于伦敦。 As the business center of Britain, holds concurrent jobs the national second largest commercial port, the physical volume of foreign trade accounts for the national trade total quantity 14. The output is the first in Britain, the input is next to London. 作为不列颠的商业中心,兼职全国第二大商业港,对外贸易量占全国贸易总量14。输出居不列颠之首,输入仅次于伦敦。 Besides business lively, is the manufacturing center of Britain, particularly the shipbuilding enterprise entire world can arrange first three. 除了商业繁华外,同时也是不列颠的制造业中心,尤其是船舶制造业全世界都能排进前三。 This heavy industry city, is one of the royal navy main stations. So many conditions gathered one, ferments today's tragedy. 偏偏这座重工业城市,还是皇家海军的主要驻地之一。这么多条件汇聚到了一起,就酝酿出了今天的悲剧。 The air defense could not count on, depends on that several anti-aircraft fire artilleries and several very anti-aircraft machine guns, wants block of bombers that copes with blot out the sky, is not realistic. 防空是指望不上了,就凭那几门高射火炮、几挺防空机枪,想要对付铺天盖地的轰炸机群,根本就不现实。 The warship can the surface go out, so long as moved, the survival capability will increase, but the dock and harbor actually cannot run away, can only remain works as the target same place. 军舰可以往外面跑,只要移动了起来,生存能力就会大增,可是船坞和港口却跑不掉,只能留在原地当靶子。 The telegram of requesting reinforcements, had flown. Now Major General Winston can only implore God to bless: The accurate aim of enemy is insufficient, has not caused the big damage to the harbor and shipyard. 求援的电报,已经飞了出去。现在温斯顿少将只能祈求上帝保佑:敌人的准头不够,没有对港口、船厂造成大的伤害。 In heart deep place, Winston along the way the garrison troops and bureaucrat of city, completely sending regards. 在内心深处,温斯顿已经将沿途城市的守军、官僚,全部给问候了一遍。 Several hundred enemy airplanes transit, unexpectedly even forewarns not to send, clearly in dereliction. 数百架敌机过境,居然连预警都没有发出来,分明就是在渎职。 In fact, Major General Winston thought mistakenly. The early warning was sends, the place that just sent out was London, rather than Liverpool. 事实上,温斯顿少将想错了。预警是发出来了,只不过发往的地方是伦敦,而不是利物浦。 In the age without radar, anti-aircraft everyone can only look by the naked eye, or listens by the ear. 在没有雷达的年代,防空大家只能凭借肉眼看,或者是靠耳朵听。 Discovered enemy airplane time, the enemy had arrived in the top of the head. It is not everyone is strategists, can from the direction on the strategic target of judging the enemy. 发现敌机的时候,敌人已经到了头顶上。不是所有人都是战略家,能够从方向上就一眼判断出敌人的战略目标。 Discovered the enemy airplane, and confirmed, sounds the early warning, the bureaucrats also require the reaction time. 发现了敌机,并且确认之后发出预警,官僚们也需要反应时间。 In addition the time of reporting, waits for the London government to make the resolution layer upon layer, the time of consumption will not compare the enemy airplane to fly. 加上层层上报的时间,等伦敦政府做出决断,其中消耗的时间不会比敌人飞机更快。 If Major General Winston is willing to wait for patiently, perhaps after a while, will receive the enemy to raid the telegram of early warning again. 如果温斯顿少将愿意耐心等待的话,没准再过一会儿,就会受到敌袭预警的电报。 Naturally, perhaps this time could not receive, because encounters the same time of air raid in Liverpool, London also degenerated into the battlefield. 当然,这次或许是收不到了,因为在利物浦遭到空袭的同一时间,伦敦也沦为了战场。 Because of existence of haze, does not favor although launches the air raid ; However bombs the political significance of London to be significant, can obtain the victory instead is next. 尽管因为雾霾的存在,不利于展开空袭;但是轰炸伦敦的政治意义重大,能不能取得战果反而是其次。 As the capital of Great Britain, the air-defense force of London, naturally has to guard against Liverpool to compare. 作为大英帝国的首都,伦敦的防空力量,自然不是没有防备利物浦能够比的。 The air defense warning wū wū has made noise, along with the bellow of explosive sound and artillery of bomb, the entire city went haywire. 防空警报早就呜呜作响,伴随着炸弹的爆炸声、火炮的轰鸣声,整座城市都陷入了混乱之中。 Impact that the haze has bidirectional, the Holy Roman air force is unable accurately to locate below goal, puts together the moral behavior simply. 雾霾带来的影响是双向的,神罗空军无法准确定位下方的目标,干脆就拼人品。 Throws the bomb in the superaltitude downward, exploding to anything is anything, the victory all looks at the will of God. 在超高空就往下扔炸弹,炸到什么算什么,战果全看上帝的意志。 Being able to see of space underground, following similarly cannot see the space. The anti-aircraft artillery and machine gun of English, are snapping similarly. 天上的看不到地下,下面的同样也看不到天上。英国人的防空火炮、机枪,同样在乱射。 Was supposing the victory of acquisition, after also not necessarily has the bomb blast, the shrapnel falls to be big to the loss that oneself incur. 估摸着取得的战果,还不一定有炸弹爆炸后,弹片落下来给自己带来的损失大。 But does not shoot good, everyone needs to comfort at heart. Let alone, only then the shell hit, can prove oneself at air defense. 可是不射不行,大家需要心里安慰。何况,只有炮弹打了出去,才能够证明自己在防空。 Considers for the poor life, the British government has been forced to move into the air-raid shelter work. Prime Minister Campbell is the rejection, fierceness that extremely but the enemy bombs, a shell fell in the government office building exactly. 为了小命着想,英国政府已经被迫搬入了防空洞办公。原本坎贝尔首相是拒绝的,怎奈敌人轰炸的太过凶猛,一枚炮弹恰好落到了政府办公大楼上。 The quality of building is luckily perfect, goes against be damaged merely, has not had the total collapse. 幸好大楼的质量过硬,仅仅只是顶上受损,并没有发生整体坍塌。 Is the capitalists knows where probably this is, without cheats on labor and materials, otherwise the British government must roll to extinguish. 大概是资本家们知道这是什么地方,没有进行偷工减料,要不然英国政府就要团灭了。 Naturally, what the merit is biggest is the haze. Because the visibility is low, is unable to prepare to aim below target, Holy Roman fighter aircraft that participates in bombing, the provided ammunition pays great attention to the kill zone completely, is limited to the single body goal lethality. 当然,功劳最大的还是雾霾。因为能见度低,无法准备瞄准下方的目标,参与轰炸的神罗战机,配备的弹药全部都是注重杀伤范围的,对单体目标杀伤力有限。 Avoided a tribulation, no one can guarantee that can avoid the next tribulation. In the face of the brutal reality, does not move must move. 躲过了一劫,没有人敢保证能够躲过下一劫。在残酷的现实面前,不搬也得搬。 Absolutely is not because feared, mainly to guarantee the smoothness of Great Britain command system, everyone has to sacrifice individual...... 绝对不是因为怕了,主要为了保证大英帝国指挥系统的顺畅,大家不得不牺牲个人的…… Entered the safe area dirtily, Campbell's mood is naturally no better, took a fast look around air force minister one eyes, interrogated sternly: „Didn't our air force, where, why have the intercept?” 灰头土脸的进入了安全区,坎贝尔的心情自然好不到哪里去,扫视了空军大臣一眼,厉声质问道:“我们的空军,在什么地方,为什么还没有升空拦截？” Facing prime minister's interrogation, air force minister Adili Austria helpless explanation: „ The fog of London was too big, local airport has sealed up, our air force can only shift to the airport in nearby city. 面对首相的质问,空军大臣阿蒂利奥无奈的解释道:“伦敦的雾太大了,市内的机场早就封闭了,我们的空军只能转移到附近城市的机场。 The combat order in the earliest possible time of air raid, has issued. Our fighter aircraft have started to lift off, on road that is marching on. ” 作战命令在空袭发生的第一时间,就已经下达了。我们的战机已经开始升空,正在赶来的路上。” Without the method, the winter of London is such pit. Under the thick thick fog covers, the airplane flies not to have the issue, landing time was awkward. 没有法子,伦敦的冬天就是这么坑。在浓浓的大雾笼罩之下,飞机飞出去没有问题,降落的时候就尴尬了。 Even if the experience rich pilot, no means in the visibility less than 50 meters world, the accurate finding airport descended. 纵使是经验再丰富的飞行员,也没有办法在能见度不足五十米的世界,准确的找到机场降落。 Under has no recourse, the air force can only put the surrounding city the airport. The ordinary period had no issue, the wartime years troubles. 迫不得已之下,空军只能将机场放到周边城市。平常时期没有什么问题,战争年代就麻烦了。 Issues the order, the launching catches up, requires the time. Can arrive in the battlefield in one hour, that is the highly efficiency. 无论是下达命令,还是起飞赶过来,都是需要时间的。能够在一个小时内抵达战场,那都是高效率。 In battlefield is every minute precious, let alone is one hour. Such long time, the enemies completed round bombing to travel. 战场上的每一分钟都是宝贵的,何况还是一个小时。这么长的时间,敌人都完成一轮轰炸跑路了。 Mainly does not have the experience, lacks the perfect early warning mechanism. However on the ghost weather of London, in the age without radar, wants to forewarn also is really not general difficult. 主要还是没有经验,缺乏完善的预警机制。不过就伦敦的鬼天气,在没有雷达的年代,想要预警还真不是一般的难。 The airship of original space and time German can four sky over London plunder, now changed into the airplane not to mention. 原时空德国人的飞艇都能够在伦敦上空肆掠,现在换成飞机就更不用说了。 Although the actual lethal power is not big, but brings the spirit to injure greatly! Such a wave tosses about, was supposing London residents' confidence to the war feared must fall into the valley. 虽然实际杀伤力不大,但是带来精神伤害大啊！这么一波折腾下来,估摸着伦敦市民对战争的信心怕是要跌到谷底。 Saying that Prime Minister Campbell handles with care: „Order air force spares nothing, must to hit hard to the enemy directly. Must make Austria know altruistic, London is not the place that they want to come to come to and to want walk can walk!” 坎贝尔首相慎重其事的说道:“命令空军不惜一切代价,也要给敌人以迎头重击。要让奥地利人知道,伦敦不是他们想来就来、想走就能走的地方！” ...... …… The potential was compelled, under compelling of military headquarters, British Air force erupted the unequalled potential, in the shortest time completed the lift-off, at the maximum speed caught up to London. 潜力都是被逼出来的,在军部的强令之下,英国空军爆发出了无与伦比的潜力,在最短的时间内完成了升空,以最快的速度向伦敦赶来。 The third air regiment that Colonel James leads is outstanding person, as the representative of British Air force, first arrived in sky over London. 詹姆斯上校率领的第三空军团就是其中的佼佼者,作为英国空军的代表,最先抵达了伦敦上空。 However, greets his is not the fresh flower, does not have the applause, but is the enemy airplane that the front surface throws. 然而,迎接他的不是鲜花,更没有掌声,而是迎面扑来的敌机。 Without the means that the order of military headquarters was too anxious, assembles radically without enough time, on noisy crowd catches up toward London. 没有办法,军部的命令太急了,根本就来不及集结,就一窝蜂的往伦敦赶。 From recently, the reaction speed quickest third air regiment on tragedy. After arriving in the battlefield, taking a broad view to look is an enemy airplane. 距离最近,反应速度又最快的第三空军团就悲剧了。抵达战场上后,放眼望去全是敌机。 „!” “法克！” Cursed angrily after one, Colonel James quickly ordered to retreat. Ten people of enemies are common, but can the fighter aircraft of one against ten, not be actually born. 怒骂一声过后,詹姆斯上校急忙下令撤退。十人敌常有,但是能够以一当十的战机,却还没有诞生。 The third air regiment that at least James leads, does not have such strength. Cannot win to travel does not lose face, the fog of London is in any case big enough, the following person does not know that the space had anything. 至少詹姆斯率领的第三空军团,不具备这样的实力。打不赢跑路不丢脸,反正伦敦的雾足够大,下面的人也不知道天上发生了什么。 What a pity all these, the fighter aircraft in the high-speed flight, turned around late also requires the time. Such a small little while time, the fighter aircraft of enemy has approached. 可惜这一切都晚了,战机在高速飞行中,掉头也是需要时间的。这么一小会儿功夫,敌人的战机已经靠近了。 Sees the matter is not possible, Colonel James ordered immediately: „The fighter aircraft speed of enemy was faster than us, could not run away, standing by!” 见事不可为,詹姆斯上校当即下令道:“敌人的战机速度比我们快,跑不掉了,准备战斗！” The confrontation started, almost every British armed forces fighter aircraft, two to three Austria army airplanes was besieged, scene that is a frigidity. 交锋开始了,几乎每一架英军战机,都被两到三架奥军飞机围攻,场面那是一个惨烈。 The bullet of howling rubs from the ear, picked a Colonel James of life from the god of death, but also without relaxes with enough time, saw that in the team was short of two fighter aircraft. 呼啸的子弹从耳边摩擦而过,从死神面前捡了一条命的詹姆斯上校,还没有来得及松口气,就看到队伍中少了两架战机。 Heard under heard two waves of fierce explosive sounds. The might of aircraft impact building, is not the common bomb can compare. 紧接着就听到了下方传来了两波剧烈的爆炸声。飞机撞击建筑物的威力,可不是普通炸弹能够比的。 Supposing, since this should be the air raid, erupts might maximum twice to strike. Obtains the victory, that must look at the will of God. 估摸着,这应该是空袭以来,爆发威力最大的两次击。有没有取得战果,那就要看上帝的意志了。 Cannot attend to for the worry of under compatriots, at present Colonel James can only expect that the teammate comes quickly, otherwise his third air regiment was cool. 顾不上替下方同胞们的担心,眼下詹姆斯上校只能期待队友来得快一些,要不然他的第三空军团就要凉凉了。 The second round of confrontation had started, participates the enemy fighter aircraft that besieges is also many, but the teammate has not appeared, Colonel James has filled desperately. 第二轮交锋已经开始了,参与围攻的敌军战机又多了一些,而队友还没有出现,詹姆斯上校内心已经充满了绝望。 The critical moment, the miracle has not appeared. The absolute power gap, cannot make up by the luck, let alone the third air regiment luck of Colonel James is not good. 关键时刻,奇迹没有出现。绝对的实力差距,不是靠运气就能够弥补的,何况詹姆斯上校的第三空军团本身运气就不好。 As long as is God one cares, their first arrival, will not fall into besieging of enemy. 但凡是上帝有一丝眷顾,他们也不会第一个抵达,陷入敌人的围攻之中。 Insisted with hardship three rounds, by the fourth round of time, the third air regiment of Colonel James, only had the final two fighter aircraft. 苦苦坚持了三轮,到了第四轮的时候,詹姆斯上校的第三空军团,只剩下了最后的两艘战机。 If observes carefully, will discover that these two fighter aircraft, on the surgical department have been full of the bullet hole. Can insist now, was their professional competence is completely perfect, evaded the mortal wound. 如果细心观察的话,就会发现这两艘战机,外科上已经充满了弹痕。能够坚持到现在,完全是他们专业素质过硬,躲过了致命伤。 At this moment, the horizon presented the shadow of teammate finally, but the innermost feelings of Colonel James were only left over dejectedly. 此刻,天边终于出现了队友的影子,只不过詹姆斯上校的内心只剩下了沮丧。 „Comes one to bring death!” “又来一个送死的！” Although he knows, should not think, but the true idea of innermost feelings not by individual will control. 尽管他知道,不应该这么想,可内心的真实想法是不受个人意志控制的。
