At this time, when Holy Britannia Imperium Area 18 Eastern Theater Command received the emperor's personal order, Cornelia had just read the first round of loss estimates for the Frontier Aviation Force.
Charles requires Second Princess to maintain the Area 18 front, fully exchange Laser-Class observation data, and accept the joint airspace timing proposed by Great Han Western Common Defense Executive Office.
Cornelia stared at the order twice.
"Father, do you want me to continue to cooperate with that man after he just seized the empire's Driver and destroyed three Round Table machines?"
Royal Family At the other end of the line, Charles is sitting high up, and there is no fluctuation in the sound.
"If a knight of the Empire refuses to face the enemy because of a single defeat, he is no longer qualified to serve as a knight."
"This is not a matter of failure! He used the security procedures of international events to restrict the movement of Imperial personnel!"
"So don't believe him."
Cornelia's eyes darkened slightly.
Charles continued, "You use the railways, Artillery, Satellite and intelligence he can provide to supervise every order he may change. The Empire does not need to trust a Regent to fight him."
"What about Euphemia?"
"Euphemia is Britannia Princess. If she can't even handle the gaze and words of an eastern Regent, she is not qualified to represent Royal Family."
"Father--"
"The Empire cannot lose Area 18."
For Egghead, conquest between human countries is not true destruction.
Great Han kills Britannia soldiers, and Britannia executes resisters. The consciousness of the deceased will still return to World of C and become a part of Collective Unconscious.
BETA is different. He cannot tolerate a group of monsters that don't even have souls and permanently take away human consciousness from World of C.
So Asabasca cannot be lost, Area 18 cannot be lost, Great Han cannot collapse now, and even the annoying Republic of E. U. must continue to exist.
At least until Ragnarök is completed, the human soul must remain alive.
In the command room, Dalton re-projected Joint Fire Plan sent by Great Han onto the main screen.
Cornelia turned around, his tone even more unhappy than before. "Do you think Lin Cuo's plan can be implemented?"
Dalton stacked several valleys, Laser-Class's confirmed firing areas, and the gathering positions of the aviation forces of both sides before raising his head. "Okay. The question now is whether we are willing to allow the Imperial Air Force's air force to enter the common airspace according to the time window provided by Great Han."
"What I'm asking is whether he is reliable."
Gilford pushed up his glasses slightly.
"The three railway changing stations promised by Regent have been opened. The first batch of High-Purity Sakuradite barrier components arrived four hours ago. The preset Marksmanship table of Great Han Artillery has also been shared."
Cornelia's face turned even more ugly.
"That's the most disgusting thing about him."
Gilford didn't understand. "Your Highness?"
"If he was just a shameless man who told lies and only stared at Euphemia and other women, things would be simple. But when this man says he will give you cannonballs, the cannonballs will really arrive; when he says he will open the railway, the railway will really open; when he says he is going to enter HIVE in person, he will really stuff himself into Cockpit."
She raised her hand to turn off Lin Cuo's smiling face on Martial Arts Tournament and replaced it with the Persia Theater map.
"This kind of person is capable, has no credibility, and is very reliable when really needed. My father actually wants me to cooperate with this kind of person."
Dalton wisely did not comment on the last half of the sentence. The first concentrated assault of the Imperial Air Force began two hours later.
There is nothing implicit about the battle code name.
[ALL HAIL BRITANNIA]
The Imperial Army often translates it as "Long Live Britannia", while the troops responsible for execution use a more direct collective name - Imperial Knight Air Assault Group.
Seven hundred and ninety-two attack aircraft, heavy bombers, electronic warfare aircraft and floating command platforms were divided into twelve low-altitude assault sequences and took off simultaneously from Area 18 Western Airport.
They are not jet aircraft in the traditional sense of Lin Cuo's original world.
Traditional aero engines must wait for the rotating shaft and compressor to gradually enter the state, but Empire's new power system can use superconducting electric drives to directly control multi-stage compressor blades, quickly switch between low-power cruise and full output, and then use plasma-assisted combustion and tail injection systems to supplement the thrust in the high-speed section.
As a result, these aircraft are able to lower themselves to crazy levels and use the terrain to avoid their own bad Laser-Class attacks
Of course, this terrain advantage also makes BETA's ground units more terrifying than Kashgar.
Assault-class charged along the gravel slope at high speed, and after briefly losing his feet, he used his front carapace to break away from the rock wall; Assault-class's forelimbs could directly grasp the steep slope, dragging his huge body to a position where human armored vehicles could not pass; Tank-class was like a dark red flood, pouring out from all the gaps in the mountain.
They were almost as good as walking on flat ground, but the same mountainous terrain also cut Laser-Class's nearly dominating skyline into countless fragments. Peaks, back slopes, canyons and cliffs formed short shadow areas, and human aviation finally had the opportunity to approach the target of attack.
After the Imperial Knight attack aircraft arrived at the predetermined position, it suddenly pulled up. The superconducting electric drive air pressure system had almost no lag of a traditional engine. The thrust was raised to the maximum in a short period of time. Hundreds of aircraft were like a group of metal arrows popping up from the valley at the same time, crossing the peak and entering the bombing height.
The real danger begins at this moment. The Imperial aircraft's barriers, electronic jamming, weapon release and electromagnetic pylons share the same high-power energy bus. Before the heavy bombs can separate from the anti-Laser-Class cluster bombs, the partial barrier on the belly of the aircraft must be closed, and the main barrier will also be weakened for a few seconds due to energy redistribution.
These few seconds were enough for Laser-Class to take aim at the Laser-Class. As soon as the first heavy bomber opened its bomb bay, a white light swept from the mountainside in the distance. The belly armor cracked along the center line and the entire aircraft folded into two pieces in mid-air. The rear attack aircraft released the decoy and the barrier withstood an attack. The Cockpit warning turned red. The pilot still pressed the nose of the aircraft towards the target and sent out all twelve anti-laser cluster bombs.
A short prelude to the national anthem sounded on the radio, but no one sang the full lyrics.
"Imperial Knight No. 7, release completed--"
"Nine loses its left wing!"
"Attention! Don't raise it! Stick to the ridge, stick to it!"
"The barrier is overloaded and will be restored in three seconds!"
"Drop a bomb!"
The explosion spread continuously along the ridge, and fragments, metal dust, directional explosive bombs and burning clouds simultaneously covered the confirmed Laser-Class position.
A second batch of Imperial aircraft followed.
The third group cuts through another canyon.
Cornelia stood in front of the theater command seat, watching the blue marks representing aircraft crossing the ridge in batches, and turning into yellow and red in batches.
At the end of the first round of attacks, 96 out of 792 aircraft had not returned to the airport, another 147 were seriously injured, and more than 300 crew members were killed or missing.
It took the Imperial Military Headquarters less than ten minutes to approve the second round of dispatch.
This round of assault created a nineteen-minute air window in the direction of Persia Northwest, suppressed or destroyed more than a hundred confirmed launch points, and allowed at least two Imperial Armored Corps to start moving again.
Just as the Imperial Air Force was tearing apart the western airspace, Traditional Air Force, which had been rebuilt for less than a month, Great Han, also took off from the southeast.
