Chapter 228: Königsberg

Permanent URL, please remember!

It seems that Prussia is the backbone of the anti-Windsor force, he not only fights back, but also effectively, and must seriously consider teaching the Prussians a lesson, otherwise it will always cause trouble for the Windsor consortium. At this time, Prussia occupied all the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, and the East India Company's naval support for Poland could only be carried out through the seaport of Guò Lithuania.

When the rebel armies of Lithuania and Poland gained foothold, Downing considered supporting a landing from these two regions and a direct invasion of the Prussian province of East Prussia, the birthplace of the Kingdom of Prussia, whose capital Königsberg was once the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Downing planned to use it specifically to deal with the Prussians hatched in the shells when developing the Black Contractor, and the soldiers of this invasion will be mainly the elites of Britain, Sweden, and Denmark hired by the East India Company, and will use the first infantry fighting vehicle that has just completed acceptance for the first time on the battlefield, with tracked power, enough to attack the cannon, which is equivalent to a light tank.

In Tang Ning's planning, there should be personnel carriers behind infantry fighting vehicles, but the current production capacity is insufficient, and only thirty infantry fighting vehicles can be transported, and there are no armored personnel carriers behind the combat vehicles, but only troop trucks, which seems a bit strange.

Moltke's chief of the General Staff attached great importance to intelligence work, and the Prussians discovered this terrifying army weapon for the first time, which caused the Prussians to pay great attention to it. The god-level inventor is really powerful enough, this offensive vehicle is very upright and very solid, and I am afraid that it can only be penetrated with the largest caliber Krupp cannon. But the Prussian artillery units were nowhere to hide under the reconnaissance of the airships, and by the time they were ready to take on such a tank, they would have been blown up by the enemy's dense HD6 howitzers.

The Prussians could fight again, and they could not do anything in the face of Downing's endless arsenal of weapons, and before Moltke and Bismarck could come up with a countermeasure, the infantry fighting vehicles had already begun to be put into battle, and the army's army of 10,000 people followed the chariots and advanced towards Königsberg.

In order to curb the expansion of the Nordic battlefield, neither Prussia nor the East India Company had launched an attack on each other before, but Prussia already had 100,000 troops ready to fight at Königsberg, and the East India Company's naval forces would be ready to fight against ten.

As soon as the battlefield of Königsberg broke out, the pressure on the Schleswig-Holstein battlefield immediately decreased, and the whole world watched another contest between the East India Company and the Prussians. This was especially important for Bismarck, because there was now unprecedented unity in the German state, because Prussia was still doing well on the battlefield, and if he followed the boss to eat and honor, in case of defeat in this contest, the little brother countries would have a small idea.

The French allies of Prussia sent the Prussian army a secret weapon, the power paraglider. This is an air vehicle invented by the French after the diffusion of fuel cell engines, which is not as tall as an airship, but it is cheaper to build, smaller in size, and two people on a paraglider, one is responsible for piloting and the other is responsible for firing, which seems to pose a threat to the airship.

The Prussians had mastered the knack of "winning by surprise" and did not think that with such a small flying machine they could pose a serious threat to the airship, so they could only give the East India Company a small surprise at once. So they hid until the day when the East India Company's army launched a general attack, when they suddenly released a dozen small paragliders to attack the airship reconnaissance plane.

The speed of the beluga whale airship has reached 100 kilometers per hour, and it was quickly avoided after discovering that the other party actually had air power, and the pilot of only one of the three airships found the enemy relatively late, and was shot intensively by the opponent's four paragliders, and the airbags of the airship were shot to pieces, this was the first serious accident of the airship, and the helium leaked quickly, but it still had a chance to escape back to the base, the main pilot was unfortunately killed, and the co-pilot took over the control of the airship.

When the arrogant French Air Force pursued the airship in a big way, went deep into the enemy's territory, and when it came to the sky above the infantry fighting vehicle, the machine gunners who received the order to deal with the paraglider raised the black contract Gatling version and fired into the air, which immediately gave the French Air Force a hard lesson.

After a round of aerial battles between the two sides, Prussia won the restricted air supremacy over its own side, and the battlefield disadvantage was greatly improved, so there was no need to worry about being bombarded by the eye-growing HD6 cannon towards the most important military targets as soon as the war began.

God bless Prussia, in such a crucial war, the French actually invented such a counter-weapon. Having lost absolute air supremacy, the East India Company army, armed with infantry fighting vehicles, advanced much slower than originally anticipated.

Soon, the army put the Black Chigatling version on the airship, and regained a greater advantage in the battlefield of seizing air supremacy, but the advantage of the French Air Force was that the paraglider was cheap, and it achieved a certain combat effectiveness in quantity, and the first air contest in history was staged so tragically, the French Air Force suffered heavy casualties, but also achieved certain results, and the Air Force of the East India Company could no longer do whatever it wanted in the sky.

The United States, Russia, and Brazil, which were huddled together to keep warm, immediately shared the results of the French's research and worked overtime to build and train pilots at the speed of their lives. This industry is really a gamble for the life of a soldier, the air force with immature parachute technology, plus the power paraglider with immature technology, even if you don't go to the battlefield, the probability of your own accident is relatively high, and as soon as the wind turbulence comes, you may crash.

In order to prevent NATO from reorganizing again, Downing decided to divide and conquer, using the sharing of parachute technology as a bait, hoping that the United States would not join the new NATO, because of the outbreak of the Battle of Königsberg, the French called on NATO to unite again against Windsor imperialism.

In the end, Lincoln, who had already secretly made peace talks with the South and the Windsor consortium, made a compromise and became an "observer" of the new NATO, and was no longer a full member of the military bloc of the new NATO, while Prussia became a full member of the new NATO this time, and Brazil also became an observer of NATO.

The hardcore members of the new NATO are France, Prussia, and Russia, and the Netherlands is once again an observer. Taking advantage of the Baltic summer, the two hardcore navies of France and Prussia sent submarines to raid the East India Company's naval base in the port of Klaipeda, Lithuania, and the submarine formation felt uneasy and intuitively felt that it was confirmed, and the East India Company's navy, which had sonar technology, had no suspense to preemptively launch a faster, more accurate, and more ruthless torpedo, blowing up the dream of the counterattack of the two irons, and did not understand why all the NATO member states that were discovered immediately did not dare to take the initiative to send their navies, and the shadow of defeat hung over the heads of NATO troops.

The fleet of the Navy took the opportunity to approach Königsberg, and the Prussian Navy received an order from Bismarck to retreat to the port of Svennosche, easily occupy the port of Königsberg, and at this time send a second batch of infantry fighting vehicles to the Königsberg battlefield. In order to preserve his strength, Bismarck again ordered the Prussian army to retreat and abandon the province of East Prussia.

The fierce air battles, the invincible infantry fighting vehicles, and the prestige of the East India Company once again shook the world. The Americans called on all countries to condemn the East India Company's infringement of copyright by applying its patented technology to its machine gun without the consent of its manager, Mr. Chartres. And Downing's spokesman J. p。 Morgan also claimed that Prussia illegally copied the smokeless gunpowder technology of the state-run Herstal Arsenal and spread it to the United States, France, Russia and other countries.

The Americans argued that smokeless gunpowder had not been patented in time, so there was no infringement, and Morgan made another effort to ask rhetorically that the steelmaking technology used by American steel companies always infringes patents, right? Not to mention that the machine guns produced by the Israeli military industry are simply electric, and the principle is very different from the original Gatling gun, don't think that using a few barrels is considered Mr. Gatling's invention.

Americans are actually comparing patents with god-level inventors, what a dog is in a hurry to jump over the wall. In any case, Prussia lost Königsberg and avenged the abdicated Italian emperor. Königsberg is probably best known for the philosopher Immanuel Kant, but Downing was not very interested in philosophy, and the only thing he admired Kant's was that he seemed to be the first to propose that the formation of the solar system was caused by the gravitational force flattening a rotating gas cloud. At a time when it was not known that the collapse of the atomic nucleus would produce enormous energy, Kant had such a conjecture, which was simply an inconceivable genius hypothesis.

Königsberg also has a famous specialty, amber. To be precise, it is a specialty of the Baltic Sea shallows, and in the cities around the Baltic Sea, especially in the south, rough amber can often be picked up on the beaches. Ignite the amber and you'll smell a rich scent of rosin, which is the resin secreted by the pine trees in the ancient forest.

After thousands of years of chemical changes, amber has become a beautiful fossil, transparent like crystal, bright as pearls, and agate in color. The inhabitants of the Roman Empire were so fascinated by amber that they were able to make the economy of Gdansk, a Baltic port city that produced amber, prosper.

The probability that the amber rough contains small animals is about 1 in 20, which is quite an alarming probability that does not seem to be explained if it just happens to drip and trap the creature. It is most likely due to the active approach of the insect to the resin guide.

Pine trees secrete resin to repair wounds, and they have evolved antibacterial abilities, so insects such as bees risk their lives to get stuck to collect resin for their nests, which can be used as an excellent building material for the hive and prevent bacteria from attacking the hive.

There are even some powerful insects that can actively collect resin as a weapon in order to stick to their prey, due to the peculiar physical and chemical properties of resin, around the survival strategy of using it as an offensive and defensive guide to zhì It has become the most vivid fossil, and after thousands of years, it can still show the complete image of the small animals at that time.

Sometimes small animals with strong strength will not be able to break free from the resin for some reason, such as being attacked by natural predators, and some curiosities will stick to the hair of large animals, becoming an artifact for scientists to peep at the leopard in the space-time tube.

What is particularly amazing is that these small animals may still have DNA that can be deciphered, and some blood-sucking insects may have just sucked the blood of a large animal, so that it is possible for ancient extinct animals to maintain a certain vitality in the form of DNA, these DNA fragments are fragmentary, unless they are collected in large quantities and then reassembled when humans know a lot about genes, it is difficult for them to be resurrected directly.

Collecting a lot of ancient DNA, what an interesting collection, haha, the last thing Downing lacks now is money, and the idea of collecting a lot of amber in Königsberg jumped into his head at once. It was so happily decided that amber could be used as a small gift for her daughter and that you could collect DNA fragments when the number of collections reached a certain amount.

Downing wanted to take his daughter to Königsberg Beach to play, and by the way, he picked up amber, but was vetoed by his wife, Yan Sù, who said, "You don't know how dangerous you are now? So don't let your daughter run around with you! "Hey, I'm really depressed, when will the world be peaceful?
