All things have the first time, in the first air fight in the true sense as the human history, the English handed over an expensive school expense relied on the strength. 万事都有第一次,作为人类历史上真正意义上的第一次空战,英国人凭实力交出了一笔昂贵的学费。 Top up tactic, only for specific occasion. Plays in the air fight, is obviously delivering the head/number of people. 添油战术,只适用于特定场合。在空战中这么玩,明显就是在送人头。 Very regrettable, Britain never air fight experience. After being under the attack, the first response of British government is sets out the air force to intercept, issue that has not considered to assemble. 很遗憾,不列颠从来都没有过空战经验。遭遇袭击后,英国政府的第一反应就是出动空军拦截,根本就没有考虑集结的问题。 Because the distance is different, the reaction speed different reasons, from each British armed forces fighter aircraft of field takeoff, were divided the raid to arrive in the frontline finally. 因为距离不一样,反应速度不同的缘故,从各个机场起飞的英军战机,最终分批次抵达了前线。 The air fight is still continuing, after paying grievous cost, British Air force in field built up the fighter aircraft of three figures finally. Although is at a disadvantage as before, but the fight no longer is one-sided. 空战还在继续中,在付出惨痛代价之后,场上的英国空军终于集结起了三位数的战机。虽然依旧处于下风,但是战斗已经不再是一边倒。 The Holy Roman air force of combat has traded one wave, because of the flight time limited reason, front that batch of fighter aircraft, after completing the task has returned to conduct the recuperation at this moment. 参战的神罗空军已经换了一波,因为飞行时间有限的缘故,前面那一批战机,在完成任务后此刻已经返航进行休整。 Different is primarily the bomber aircraft from the first wave, now the Holy Roman fighter aircraft in sky, almost is a fighter aircraft. 不同于第一波以轰炸机为主,现在天空中的神罗战机,几乎全都是战斗机。 If puts in the future, everyone looked understands today's bombing had ended, now this is comes to the British Air force main force. 如果搁在未来,大家一看就明白今天的轰炸已经结束了,现在这是冲着英国空军主力来的。 The upfront decisive battle cannot be victorious now in any case, now most should was the preserved effective strength. Even if really must go all out, that must trade one to a oneself more advantageous battlefield. 反正现在正面决战打不过,现在最应该的就是保存有生力量。就算是真的要拼命,那也要换一个对自己更有利战场。 Under is London, each airplane crashes is a heavy bomb, the lethality surpasses in the world any bomb. 下方就是伦敦,每一次飞机坠落都是一枚巨型炸弹,杀伤力超过当今世界上任何一枚炸弹。 Said unrestrained/no trace of politeness, bombs loss that incurs to London, but also is less than the air fight the airplane to crash harm 1/10. 毫不客气的说,轰炸给伦敦带来的损失,还不及空战中飞机坠落危害的十分之一。 Obviously, falls into British government unable to think of so many, at this moment they only have an idea, that assembles more fighter aircraft, enemy keeping, scrubbing today's shame. 显然,身陷其中的英国政府想不到那么多,此刻他们只有一个想法,那就是集结更多的战机,将敌人给留下来,洗刷今天的耻辱。 As for „loss that” then causes, the brain is the anger great people, may be able to ignore so many. 至于由此导致的“损失”,满脑子都是怒火的大人物们,可顾不了那么多。 The deeply worried fight, making one feel agitated. The air fight stops not to stop, everyone can only treat in the air-raid shelter. 焦灼的战斗,令人感到烦躁。空战一刻不停止,大家就只能一直在防空洞中待着。 The order of London is losing control, although the cabinet government has ordered to comfort the popular sentiment over and over, but wants the bureaucrats to withstand/top the fire of enemy to work, was feels embarrassed the person. 伦敦的秩序正在失控中,尽管内阁政府已经再三下令安抚民心,但是要官僚们顶着敌人的炮火去工作,还是太为难人了。 Had/Left such big matter, always needs some people responsible for this reason. The fight in sky had not ended, the senior government officials have started to ponder the aftermath. 出了这么大的事情,总是需要有人为此负责的。天空中的战斗还没有结束,英国政府高层已经开始思考善后问题。 „Prime minister, the important matter is not good!” “首相阁下,大事不好了！” The voice of secretary, interrupted the train of thought of people. Prime Minister Campbell of deeply frowning, quickly asked: „Did our air force defeat?” 秘书的声音,打断了众人的思绪。眉头紧锁的坎贝尔首相,急忙问道:“我们的空军战败了？” The flames of war burnt London, the important matter is not good. If the worse news, that were the air force defeats certainly in the air fight. 战火都烧到了伦敦,大事早就不好了。如果还有更糟糕的消息,那一定是空军在空战中战败了。 The enemy is the world's first air power, as a qualified statesman, naturally must complete the worst plan ahead of time. 敌人是世界第一空军强国,作为一名合格的政治家,自然要提前做好最坏的打算。 The air force defeats, is the present everyone was expected that the worst result, does not have one. 空军战败,就是眼下大家预料中的最坏结果,没有之一。 „It is not!” “不是！” After routine reply, the secretary explained hastily: „ The fight of space is still continuing, although loses somewhat in a big way, however our fighter aircraft are catching up continuously, pursuing the enemy is only the time issue. 习惯性的回答后,秘书连忙解释道:“天上的战斗还在继续,虽然损失有些大,但是我们的战机正在源源不断的赶来,驱逐敌人只是时间问题。 Just spread the news from the Liverpool port, that side also encountered the air raid of enemy, the garrison troops requested that sent out the fighter aircraft to support. ” 刚刚从利物浦港传来消息,那边也遭遇了敌人的空袭,守军请求派出战机支援。” Hears „air fight still in continuing”, Prime Minister Campbell the nervousness has to relax slightly, again anxious. 听到“空战还在继续”,坎贝尔首相紧张的情绪稍微有所舒缓,紧接着又再次紧张了起来。 Under the background of royal navy one-party rule, the air force of Britain is also better than on to lose the army. Without experiencing the British government of air fight, absolutely would have no to expect that has today this. 在皇家海军一家独大的背景下,不列颠的空军也只是比陆军好上一丢丢。没有经历过空战的英国政府,根本就没有预料到发生今天这一幕。 Looked Holy Roman Empire got down the initial capital to the air force, „has in line with the enemy, I must have thought that”, absolutely does not have the air force anything matter. 要不是看神圣罗马帝国对空军下了血本,“本着敌人有的,我也要有的思想”,根本就没有空军什么事儿。 Originally starts on the evening, the domestic manufacturing industry falls behind in the second Industrial Revolution, the air force of following type development naturally cannot compare the Holy Roman air force. 本来起步就晚,偏偏国内的制造业在第二次工业革命中掉了队,跟风式发展的空军自然比不上神罗空军。 If not there is an advantage that the native place battles, the air fight has been defeated. The present situation many, the fighter aircraft of combat had not very escaped, that is because they cannot escape. 若非有本土作战的优势,空战早就失败了。现在的情况也好不了多少,参战的战机没有逃跑,那是因为他们根本就跑不了。 The comprehensive feature of airplane cannot follow, after the short distance contacts, does not cast off the enemy, can only brace oneself dead to knock. 飞机的综合性能跟不上,在近距离接触后,根本就甩不开敌人,只能硬着头皮死磕。 The military headquarters issued the dead order, below person does not know the situation in space, but thinks that the air force is fighting bravely heroically. 恰好军部又下达了死命令,下方的人根本就不了解天上的情况,只是以为空军在英勇奋战。 These issues do not affect Campbell to make the resolution now. London and Liverpool are under the attack simultaneously, British Air force are incapable of simultaneously giving dual attention to two battlefields, which self-evident first attended. 这些问题也不影响坎贝尔现在做出决断。伦敦和利物浦同时遭遇袭击,英国空军无力同时兼顾两处战场,先顾哪头不言而喻。 Slightly after thinking, Prime Minister Campbell uses to fill the artistic intonation saying: „Told Liverpool the Garrison troops, the organization air defense, the reinforcements will first arrive in the shortest time.” 略加思索过后,坎贝尔首相就用充满艺术性的语调说道:“告诉利物浦守军,先自行组织防空,援军会在最短的时间内抵达。” When „the shortest time” is, this is in the human history another unsolved mystery, the ancient and modern in China and abroad no one has made clear. “最短的时间”是什么时间,这是人类历史上又一未解之谜,古今中外都没有人搞清楚过。 However is applicable to the British current situation exactly. If not give the following person enough confidence, perhaps that help/gang falls into the flurried fellow, even organized to resist forgets. 不过恰好适用于不列颠目前的局势。若是不给下面的人足够信心,没准那帮陷入慌乱的家伙,连组织抵抗都忘记了。 Although under the limited anti-aircraft fire, the resistance is also hard to collect the effect, but makes good that always compared has not made. Even if only shoots down an enemy fighter aircraft, that is also the score. 尽管在有限的防空火力之下,抵抗也难以凑效,可是做了总比没做的好。哪怕是只击落敌军一架战机,那也是战绩。 After sending the secretary leaves, Prime Minister Campbell tasted. Prime minister personally director military fight, seemingly already drift off. 打发秘书离开之后,坎贝尔首相回味了过来。首相亲自指挥军事战斗,貌似已经跑偏了。 It is not each British Prime Minister is Mr. Churchill, craves in participating in the military command, at least Campbell has no interest in the direction army combat. 不是每一任英国首相都是丘吉尔先生,热衷于参与军事指挥,至少坎贝尔就对指挥军队作战没有兴趣。 Was different from past any war, at present this war requirement land , sea and air three services jointly combat teamwork. 不同于以往的任何一次战争,眼下这场战争需要陆海空三军联合协同作战。 Anything meets the first time, that is the troublesome synonym. This time is no exception, besides needs to consider the military command, simultaneously must consider that the politics is balanced. 任何事情遇到第一次,那都是麻烦的代名词。这次也不例外,除了需要考虑军事指挥外,同时要考虑政治平衡。 It can be said that besides letting Edward VII on personally, anybody is the land , sea and air three services commander, will lead to the controversy. 可以说除了让爱德华七世本人亲自上外,任何人担任陆海空三军指挥官,都会招来非议。 The issue is as Edward VII of king, even if the real power king, most also enrolls, is impossible to go to the coordinated combined operations personally. 问题是作为国王的爱德华七世,哪怕是实权国王,最多也就挂个名,不可能亲自去协调三军联合作战。 If the running free weaponry, can fish the achievements, was supposing Edward VII had jumped, takes over control of the three services the command jurisdiction. 如果是顺风仗,能够捞政绩也就罢了,估摸着爱德华七世已经跳了出来,接管三军的指挥权。 It is a pity that the war just started, Britain welcomed darkest a day, the deep heavy losses everyone won the confidence of war. 遗憾的是战争才刚刚开始,不列颠就迎来了最黑暗的一天,深深的重创了大家赢得战争的信心。 Without grasping, astute Edward VII naturally cannot crop up. The routine work is the cabinet is managing in any case, now has problems similarly is also the pot of cabinet, flings that cannot throw off. 在没有把握的情况下,精明的爱德华七世自然不会冒头了。反正日常工作都是内阁在主持,现在出了问题同样也是内阁的锅,还是甩都甩不掉的那种。 Realized the gravity of issue, Prime Minister Campbell decides to speed up the construction of command system immediately. After all, the war gives good that the professional plays. 意识到了问题的严重性,坎贝尔首相当即决定加快指挥系统的构建。毕竟,战争还是交给专业人士玩儿的好。 ...... …… Liverpool port, when the order of London government arrives, bombing of space also ended. 利物浦港,当伦敦政府的命令抵达时,天上的轰炸也结束了。 Major General Winston who reads the telegram, the innermost feelings are the collapse. Perhaps is because the conscience found, or to shirk the responsibility, the news of air defense early warning passed on finally. 看着电报的温斯顿少将,内心是崩溃的。或许是因为良心发现,又或者是为了推卸责任,防空预警的消息终于传过来了。 Organizes the order that resists compared with the London government, comes to late. Except for in the heart deep place greeted outside all relatives of related bureaucrats, Major General Winston does not do now. 比伦敦政府就地组织抵抗的命令,来得还要更晚一些。除了在内心深处问候一遍相关官僚们的所有亲属外,温斯顿少将现在也做不了。 Others reaction speeds are fast, according to the normal procedure/program, the light walks the flow to need at least one week, slow point dragging has the possibility in the first half of the year. 人家的反应速度已经非常快了,按照正常的程序,光走流程都需要至少一个星期,慢一点的拖上半年都有可能。 According to procedure, this is the British official consistent standard of conduct, not by any morals and legal accusation. 按照程序办事,这是大英公务员一贯的行为准则,不受任何道德和法律指责。 Although bombing ended, but the great person in Liverpool port has not appeared. Perhaps is because worked was too busy, perhaps was because Archduke was extremely selfless, the military administration two important people hinted reported to Major General Winston hand/subordinate. 轰炸虽然结束了,但是利物浦港的大人物还是没有出现。或许是因为工作太忙了,又或许是因为太过大公无私,军政两界要员纷纷示意手下向温斯顿少将报告。 Had not responded Major General Winston, in blurry, becomes the Liverpool outwardly on commander-in-chief passively. 尚未反应过来的温斯顿少将,在迷迷糊糊之中,就被动成为了利物浦明面上的最高指挥官。 Not only need direct the army, restores the city order and organization personnel to help oneself...... all things that cleans up the mess, became his work. 不光要指挥军队,就连恢复城市秩序、组织人员自救……所有收拾烂摊子的事情,都成了他的工作。 Do not think that this is what good deed, the first responsible person who if as expected, the anger and this Liverpool of resident encounter the air raid, similarly is also his unlucky egg duty major general. 别以为这是什么好事,如果不出意外的话,市民的怒火、这次利物浦遭遇空袭的第一责任人,同样也是他这位倒霉蛋值班少将。 Arrived present this step, wanted the rejection already late. From first self-help issuance of order, Major General Winston becomes the scapegoat who everyone chooses by acclamation. 到了现在这一步,想要拒绝已经晚了。从第一道自救命令下达开始,温斯顿少将就成为了大家公推的替罪羊。 Without the means that Liverpool is not only the commercial port, similarly is also one of the British most important naval ports. As on -duty dojo, to this air raid, Major General Winston pays the unshirkable responsibility. 没有办法,利物浦不光是商业港,同样也是不列颠最重要的军港之一。作为值班武馆,对这次空袭,温斯顿少将本身就付有不可推卸的责任。 The debt were many did not press the body, the official career had to be finished in any case, carried to take the rap for everyone also does not have any. 债多了不压身,反正仕途都有完蛋了,替大家背背黑锅也没有什么。 Essentially, everyone is the unlucky egg. British so many city Holy Roman air forces do not go, selected Liverpool, where making on everyone reason things out? 本质上来说,大家都是倒霉蛋。不列颠那么多城市神罗空军不去,偏偏选中了利物浦,让大家上哪儿说理去？ Has London to accompany luckily, London that the soldiers converge loses seriously, military weak Liverpool suffers the heavy losses, militarily also passable. 幸好有伦敦陪着,众兵云集的伦敦都损失惨重,兵力薄弱的利物浦遭遇重创,在军事上也说得过去。 If really holds responsible, bearing the brunt is also a British government. Under this situation, the final result is „holds up mostly high, falls gently”. 真要是追究责任,首当其冲的也是英国政府。在这种背景下,最终的结果多半就是“高高举起,轻轻落下”。 Major General Winston fulfills duty asking that fulfills responsibility: „Loss statistics?” 温斯顿少将尽职尽责的问道:“损失统计出来了没有？” The military officer who is responsible for compiling replied: „ The present was only the preliminary statistics the loss of personnel, warship, shipyard and harbor building, the losses in other aspects also during statistics. 负责汇总的军官回答道:“现在只是初步统计了人员、军舰、船厂、港口建筑物的损失,其它方面的损失还在统计之中。 If all smooth, will complete the statistical work two days later. Loses the data are as follows specifically: 如果一切顺利的话,在两天后会完成统计工作。具体损失数据如下: Casualty total 1287 people, including army officers my 49 military officers and 757 soldiers ; Injuries total 5176 people, including 276 military officers and 1186 soldiers. 死亡人数共计1287人,其中包括军队官兵我49名军官、757名士兵;受伤人数共计5176人,其中包括276名军官和1186名士兵。 The officers lose strongly mostly in the navy, because mainly the warship is the center of gravity that the enemy attacks. Although we have left port promptly, but was attacked the harm of bringing is still huge earlier. 官兵损失大都集中在海军,主要因为军舰是敌人攻击的重心。尽管我们已经及时出港,可是前期遇袭带来的伤害仍然是巨大的。 The warship of submersion includes 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers and 4 torpedo boats, as well as 7 auxiliary warships ; Being damaged were more, including two dread naughts, more than half warships had losses in the varying degrees. 沉没的军舰包括二艘巡洋舰、三艘驱逐舰、四艘鱼雷艇、以及七艘辅助军舰;受创的就更多了,包括两艘无畏舰在内,过半的军舰都受到了不同程度上的损失。 The loss of shipyard is bigger, many docks are seriously battered, in the dock three dread naughts of construction are all destroying, various infrastructure losses are countless. 造船厂的损失更大,多个船坞遭受重创,船坞内正在施工建设的三艘无畏舰全毁,各种基础设施损失更是不计其数。 The civilian casualty, happened in the shipyard mostly. When bombing erupts, the shipyard is happen to constructing, many people have not responded, collapsed workshop burying. 平民伤亡,大都是发生在造船厂。轰炸爆发时,船厂正好在施工,很多人还没反应过来,就被坍塌的厂房给埋了。 ...... ” ……” Bountiful has the mental preparation early, but after hearing the specific loss digit, Major General Winston was silent. 饶是早有思想准备,可是听到了具体损失数字后,温斯顿少将还是沉默了。 The loss of royal navy, caught up with a large-scale campaign. Do not look at warship few of submersion, but cannot support the injured warship to be many! 皇家海军的损失,都赶上了一场大型战役。别看沉没的军舰没几艘,但是架不住受伤的军舰多啊！ The warship restore requires the time, particularly background that seriously is damaged under the shipyard, wants to restore must go to other areas. 军舰修复是需要时间的,尤其是在造船厂严重受损的背景下,想要修复都要去其它地区。 By own professionalism, Major General Winston made the judgment, stays in the royal navy fleet of Liverpool, wants to restore at least to need six months. 凭借自身的专业素养,温斯顿少将做出了判断,停留在利物浦的这支皇家海军舰队,想要恢复至少需要半年时间。 The shipyard not to mention, the warship can also run, they stay in same place, whatever the enemy humiliates, the light cleaning up ruins perhaps take several months. 船厂就更不用说了,军舰还能够跑路,它们可是停留在原地任由敌人欺凌,光清理废墟恐怕都要几个月时间。 In comparison, the losses of other infrastructures on the contrary are not big. Can look, enemy this is prepared early, even the target elected beforehand. 相比之下,其它基础设施的损失反倒是不大。看得出来,敌人这是早有准备,连攻击目标事先都选好了。 After calming down, Major General Winston indifferent saying: „Reorganizes as soon as possible the loss, issues the London the government. Asks while convenient, actually we do have the air defense early warning system?” 冷静下来后,温斯顿少将冷漠的说道:“尽快把损失整理出来,发给伦敦政府。顺便问问,我们究竟有没有防空预警体系？” Is a scapegoat turns over to be a scapegoat, but can reduce the responsibility the matter, must do. 背锅归背锅,但是能够减轻自己责任的事情,还是必须要去做的。 Encounters the enemy to raid, beforehand without has been forewarned, shirks the responsibility best excuse. 遭遇敌人空袭,事先没有得到预警,就是推卸责任最好的借口。 Although obtained the early warning, change final outcome. But this did not hinder Major General Winston to take to say the matter. 尽管得到了预警,也改变不了最终结果。可是这不妨碍温斯顿少将拿出来说事。 ...... …… The post-war Liverpool was desolate, the harm that the war brought was not on the paper surface the ice-cold several groups of numbers, can summarize simply. 战后的利物浦是落寞的,战争带来的伤害远不是纸面上冰冷的几组数字,就能够简单概括的。 Let alone the bureaucrats usually had the tradition that the art processes, bombing did not finish for several hours, how can also count the total loss precisely? 何况官僚们素来都有艺术加工的传统,轰炸结束不过短短几个小时,又如何能够精确的统计出全部损失？ Besides by the warship and shipyard of key attention, the station over-bridge, platform and railway rail was exploded pulpy, the ground full is the burned black incomplete corpse. 除了被重点关注的军舰、船厂外,车站天桥、月台、铁轨被炸得稀烂,地上满是焦黑残缺的尸体。 Tom who in the wharf, escapes by luck, wipes on the forehead with the sleeves in short supply sweat, raised the head to have a look to shine red Sun of red land, shining must unable to open eyes. 码头上,侥幸逃过一劫的汤姆,用衣袖抹抹额头上紧张的汗水,抬头看看照耀着红色土地的红色太阳,耀得睁不开眼来。 What the war stays behind is the blood, is desolate, is being destroyed in a moment homeland, is the irreparable grief. 战争留下的是鲜血、是落寞、是毁于一旦的家园、更是永远无法弥补的伤痛。 Just still in the co-worker of talking of this and that is left over the cliff stump residual limb everywhere now, often the moan of pain transmitted. 刚刚还在谈天说地的工友,现在就剩下了满地的断壁残肢,不时还有痛苦的呻吟传来。 Tom has not gone to pay attention, without the sympathy, is really not the ability cannot help limitedly. 汤姆没有去理会,并非没有同情心,实在是能力有限根本就帮不上忙。 Has to acknowledge, the person really has the heterogeneous division. Great people precious as gold, even if damages by abrasion a skin, has an important goods medical personnel to follow ; But the grass-root people assign/life such as worthlessly, even if the severe wound is on the verge of death, nobody will ask. 不得不承认,人真的有三六九等之分。大人物们是金贵的,纵使只是擦破点儿皮,都有一大帮的医护人员跟着;而底层民众命如草芥,纵使重伤濒死,也无人问津。 Why do not ask, asked that is: We have made contribution, the medical resource is insufficient, can not make bricks without straw. 不要问为什么,问就是:我们已经尽力了,医疗资源不足,巧妇难为无米之炊。 After definite security, Tom crawled from the ground, was saying the sound looks, John who who the painful sound calls just chatted to wrangle impressively together. 确定安全之后,汤姆从地上爬了起来,说着声音望去,在痛苦声中吆喝的赫然就是刚刚一起聊天扯皮的约翰。 John at this moment does not have the beforehand elegant demeanor, collapsed cargo numerous pounding on the lower part, the ground is covered with blood. 此刻的约翰已经没有了之前的风采,被坍塌的货物重重的砸在了下半身上,地上已经是血肉模糊。 After hesitant one next, Tom took back the footsteps of taking, hurries to the family/home. 犹豫了一下之后,汤姆还是收回了迈出的脚步,向家中赶去。 It is not Tom is indifferent, is really cannot attend, where has the capital of minding others' business. 不是汤姆冷漠无情,实在是自家都顾不过来,哪里有管闲事的资本。 Do not look that John is only the lower limb is injured, so long as rescues promptly, rushes to the hospital the treatment, preserving a life does not seem difficult. 别看约翰只是下肢受伤,只要及时抢救出来,送医救治,保住一条命似乎不难。 However to the stevedore of floor, the ordinary cold has a fever, can make the life fall into exhaustedly, let alone is the body is seriously injured. 但是对底层的码头工人来说,平常的感冒发烧,都能够令生活陷入困顿,何况是身体受了重伤。 The expensive medical expense, crashes an ordinary family sufficiently. John cannot pay, Tom also cannot pay. 昂贵的医疗费用,足以压垮一个普通的家庭。约翰支付不起,汤姆同样支付不起。 If really saved, to John one also not necessarily is a good deed. Or family, either testimony humane ugliness. 真要是把人救了下来,对约翰一家来说也未必是一件好事。要么破家,要么见证人性的丑恶。 To the grass-root people, comes across this matter, really not Tathagata happy good. 对底层民众来说,遇到这种事情,真不如来一个痛快的好。
