Chapter 4515: Hope so

Port of Carthage. Most of this place is occupied by the concessions of various countries, of course. The main terminal area is leased by various countries. The most prosperous here. It is the richest place for the Carthaginians. In addition to some merchant ships, the ports here are more private ships. For example, some veterans of Carthage will buy some retired warships from the Kingdom of Zhao and South Korea, and then they transform these warships into their own. Private yachts, yachts are very large. When they are resting, they will find ways to rest on it. Of course, there are a lot of beautiful women. Alcohol will stimulate their various desires. This is the personal life of the noble Senate. , This kind of life is extremely luxurious. At the same time, it makes people feel very annoyed. But many people have no idea about this. This is the private life of the elders. Even the consul will not interfere with them.

Farther to the east, there is a naval aviation base of the State of Zhao, where a squadron of seaplanes is stationed there. Their task is to patrol, mainly to ensure the safety of their oil tankers.

Oil is for Zhao people. It is extremely important. If there is some loss of such important materials, the loss of Zhao Guoren can be very large. So, the best way is. Keep them safe.

The naval airmen stationed here are all Zhao Guo "Water Crane" seaplanes, with one crew member, capable of carrying two small bombs, one light machine gun, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. Their task is to harass. Rather than launch a major attack.

"This is the order of the Admiralty." A lieutenant commander took a telegram and handed it to a naval aviation captain. Their order was to fly to the Loma Carthage camp, where they would land in the nearby waters. Then they perform other tasks. They don't know exactly what kind of tasks they are, but they may not be very good.

"Yes, sir." The captain nodded. The number of aircraft in their squadron is relatively large, with a total of twelve, so many aircraft can satisfy their reconnaissance missions to the greatest extent. But now they still don't know why they want to go to the north. What kind of difference is there in such a task, but this is an order of the Navy Department. They can only execute.

Zhao Guoren decided to lease a squadron of reconnaissance aircraft to Hannibal, and the training of pilots will also be carried out intensely. These planes are only reconnaissance planes, they are not professional bombers. Zhao people can provide it, but they are worried that this will excessively stimulate some people's sensitive nerves, so they choose to compromise, or more to do some proper handling.

The state of the war has entered a new stage, and the war stalemate is for the initiators. This is an extremely unfavorable situation, which means that their losses will be very large. Because let the reconnaissance plane perform the mission in the bomber, this is simply a pioneering work. They still don't know what kind of good things can happen to such a pioneering work, but most of them believe that under such a situation, many situations will not develop too well. After all, they are not professional.

Sicily. Scipio after a long wait. Finally confirmed the end of their airship.

"All the airships crashed. We don't have a good way to solve such a thing." Han Kui said. For the first time I encountered such a situation. Han Kui could only persuade Scipio not to care too much. After all, it was quite normal for them to encounter such a thing for the first time.

"It seems that your Admiralty is right. It seems that these airships are not suitable for large-scale bombing. Their speed is slow, and the technology is not too hard, etc., all of which will lead to the failure of the bombing mission. Face such a failed mission. There are really too few things we can do." Scipio said.

"There are certain reasons for such things, but what we should also see is that in fact, there are many things that we can still avoid." Han Kui said.

"Yes, such as those precious pilots. Forget it. Such a thing, I want to open. But for their bombing, we absolutely can not stop, at the same time, they can effectively support the resistance army, we must See this point clearly, but at present we do not have enough planes to fly there. This is a big trouble for us." Scipio said.

The Korean side will definitely not provide them with long-range bombers, because doing so will mean that the scale of the war will be expanded to an astonishing level. However, if this is not done, there will be other things. Can such a thing be solved? Scipio couldn't find such a good way for a while, after all, such a situation had a relatively large impact on them.

"We have considered such a thing. Considering that our pilots cannot have too high a technical level, and it is impossible for our country to rent you too high technical equipment at once. For example, large bombers, although their range can be. To reach this point, however, it seems difficult for you to equip such an aircraft. My idea is this. We can use other methods to achieve this point." Han Kui said.

"Tell me your opinion," Scipio said.

"My suggestion is that you equip seaplanes, then modify some armed merchant ships, or merchant ships, so that they have their own lifting equipment, and then hoist them to the surface. The seaplane can attack from the water, despite the number of bombs carried. It's very limited, but this is also an offense. They only need to drop the bomb on the Carthaginians' heads, I think they can basically accomplish this kind of thing." Han Kui said.

Han Kui's ideas are borrowed from aircraft carriers, because only aircraft carriers can do this. There are so many things they can do, and it is this kind of situation that gives them a series of offensive advantages.

Seaplanes have a low threshold, and unlike aircraft carriers, they require certain professional skills. The construction cost of an aircraft carrier is relatively high. With a seaplane carrier, which is equivalent to a cheap version of an aircraft carrier, there are still many things he can do. This is their advantage. With this advantage, they can naturally bomb the Carthaginians.

"Very good, I think this kind of idea is very in line with our current needs. If such a method can continue, it will be very good." Scipio said.

"I naturally hope that this will continue, but sometimes, we must also consider some actual situations. You know, we need to do a lot of things like this." Han Kui said. Naturally, the hungry wolf understands what this is all about. After all, sometimes, many things still need some special changes. Without such changes, they would still not be able to do this.

The idea of ​​a seaplane and a water carrier is fully in line with their series of ideas. Because this is the most likely way to threaten the Carthaginians.

Loma, inside the Carthage barracks.

"Our chief has already decided. They will transfer some seaplanes. In this way, many of our things will actually become much more advantageous." Li Wei said to Hannibal this way.

"What price did we pay?" Hannibal asked.

"The attitude of the Senate is that they are willing to provide more than 200,000 barrels of oil as the most basic support. They hope to give the Loma a taste of bombing." Li Wei said.

"Well, I have understood the specific situation. But what I am worried about is that such bombing seems to be unable to solve such problems. I am worried about such things. I don't know if you feel this way?" Hannibal said. Speaking of. Hannibal felt that the bombing came too late. If they had had such a bombing before, it might have caused extremely serious losses to Lockheed Martin, but for the time being, they seemed to be unable to achieve such a situation. In fact, many things have not changed much for them.

The Loma already had a certain ability to produce, and at the same time they liberated a large number of slaves, and these liberated slaves became a source of larger-scale civilians. These civilians will bring them greater development. This is a kind of supplement.

If they bombed before, it might have some impact on Lockheed Martin, but the bombing now can't make them change this situation. The situation of the war is far more unfavorable than they thought.

"You are not very optimistic about this kind of bombing?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, this kind of bombing effect is not the result we want most. I know that all you provide are seaplanes. No matter how large the number of these planes is, the damage caused and the influence are very limited. The scary thing is that the Loma people's will, their will to fight is stronger than at any time before, this is the most troublesome thing." Hannibal said. Hannibal already knew very well that bombing could not destroy the Roma people’s will to fight. If they could not achieve this point, many of their things would actually be impossible to proceed. This is the most unfavorable situation for them. It is a pity that This kind of thing happened after all.

"I think we should give it a try. No matter what, he is most likely to form the most advantageous posture. If this posture continues, it may be of great help to us." Li Wei said.

"I hope so." Hannibal said.
