2971 Armed Paris
No matter how many times you have seen Paris on military maps or in intelligence photos, you have never seen it with your own eyes!
Don’t think you have lived in Paris for a long time, but when you have never looked down at the city in the sky, you cannot truly experience its magnificence!
More than two million people are crowded in this planned city, and the Seine River slowly flows to divide the beautiful city into the left bank and the right bank!
The streets lined up are filled with small buildings of different heights, and the spacious streets are bustling with pedestrians and traffic!
Is the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral in the distance?
Is the Arc de Triomphe that Napoleon passed through?
Pesme and Xiao Lotte were already shocked by the Paris in front of you. Whether you are enemies or not, you cannot deny the unique charm of the city in front of you!
Paris is Paris, there is no need to say too much, no need to speak too much! This is a magic city that you will never forget in your life if you look at it!
What surprised the two even more was that this artistic and humanistic capital is now shrouded in layers of murderous aura!
Needless to say, the tall and magnificent city walls are more surprising!
At this moment, Bisme realized why Xiao Letian had always asked for a decisive battle outside the city instead of forcibly siege the city. Trox was simply a local rat. It took him more than a year to surround Paris with trenches and bunkers.
This is really a giant hedgehog that holds up all the spikes, two million pairs of hatred eyes growing behind the trenches to tear all the invaders apart!
What is even more terrifying is that the fortifications of urban street fighting with the Montmartre Heights as the core, the workers in Paris have armed all the streets.
The sculptures that carved the majestic image of the Napoleon family were cut off and pushed to the ground. They were replaced with layers of sandbags and cannons behind the sandbag wall.
Perhaps the undead war with the Chinese stimulated all the workers of the left, and they were armed with ten times of enthusiasm at this moment.
All street entrances are armed fortifications, and sandbags are the most consumed materials at this moment. The windows of buildings along the street are also filled with half of the sandbags. At that time, the gunman can easily shoot downwards.
The streets were filled with marching training officers and soldiers. They did not have ready-made barracks to use, so they requisitioned almost all leisure squares and spacious streets, where many children of eighteen or nineteen years old received simple military training.
All of this was seen by everyone on the airship, and everyone was stunned. Even the intelligence officers carrying cameras and shorthand notebooks forgot their work.
"Don't be stunned, gentlemen... start your work... outline the city defense map of Paris in the shortest time, let's see where there are gaps to attack..."
Only then did people realize that the camera on the tripod began to framing the scene and pressing the shutter. The pencils sketched on the white paper rustled, and the city defense maps of Paris began to be improved bit by bit.
The huge airship that suddenly appeared in the sky naturally attracted the attention of the Paris defenders under their feet. Countless soldiers rushed out of the hidden place, holding various weapons and telescopes, wiggling in the sky.
At a height of more than 30 meters, looking down, it is the enemy's territory. You can still hear some angry scolding in the whistling wind, but you can't hear it thoroughly.
Soon, French soldiers began to raise their guns and fired, and bullets flew upwards. Several of them hit the armored guardrail of the pod, making a crisp sound.
"Pressure-upped... Entering a height of fifty meters... Maintaining a safe distance..."
The Duke of Zeppelin did not dare to let the two big men take risks. He knew that the height of thirty meters could already be protected, but he continued to increase the height just in case.
The initial anger quickly turned into fear. When they found that all the weapons in their hands could not deal with this big guy, they were all scared.
Some people even fear that this huge airship would airborne in the city with countless soldiers!
All the blocks where the airship flew by, triggered a terrifying crowd. Xiao Letian saw the vast Parisian citizens running around in scattered areas as if someone would throw them in the next second!
Bisme sighed, "If I had thirty such airships in my hand, and then modified a batch and bombarded the city all night long... why should the war be so complicated!"
"Impossible!" Xiao Letian shook his head. "The airship is too severely affected by the climate. If the weather is a little bad, it cannot be launched..."
"The limitations of combat are too great... In addition, this airship is too expensive. Just one of them costs me nearly four million pounds. Even if it is mass-produced in the future, it will be a little cheaper, which is probably about three million..."
"With so much money, isn't it good to build some ironclad ships?"
"More important... there are too many ways to restrain airships, and they are all very cheap..." Xiao Letian pointed his hand at some steel plants and machining plants on the edge of the East District of Paris..."
"With Paris' industrial strength, it's very simple to create weapons against airships... I built a few small-caliber cannons alone, modify the gun mount, so that the elevation angle of up and down adjustment is increased..."
"This is an anti-aircraft gun that can easily fight airships...it can't cost much but can easily penetrate our defense. The key is that our speed is too slow and we can't escape..."
After hearing what Xiao Letian said, Beismai's heart just got cold again, "Since you have seen the shortcomings, why do you still have to invest so much? It's so wasteful..."
"I can't say that... I bought the Duke Zeppelin's airship patent. My purpose is to use it for special operations. It has little military effect in Europe, but it is a good baby in Asia!"
"With the industrial level of Asia, they can create anti-aircraft guns that do not control me, and my airship can become an invincible existence... Occasionally, it will be useful!"
"So Mr. Zeppelin, you have bold research and I will acquire new patents..."
Zeppelin began to rotate clockwise along the walls of Paris. Wherever they went, all the Paris defenders were in panic, while the Prussian siege troops in the distance were cheering.
Under the writings of eighteen masters of mapping, Paris's city defense map gradually took shape. The more he looked at it, the more anxious he became. He finally knew how difficult it was to fight in Paris. If he had to attack, he would have to pay at least 70,000 or 80,000 huge casualties.
"You go to Cassel tomorrow... Have a good talk with Napoleon III, as long as he cooperates with us to activate the royalist forces in the entire France..."
"I'll give him freedom... By the way, you'll see this old enemy... I know you've been biting and wanting to take revenge. I'll give you a chance to slap in the face..."
