Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 30: Entering the city (4)

Milch, Director of the Air Force of the Third Reich, State Secretary of the German Ministry of Aviation, Director of the German Air Force, Admiral Milch.

It's really not quite true to say that he's a Qiqiang faction. To be precise, this guy is a weather vane.

He first followed Goering, won the appreciation of the dead fat man, and was able to sit on the throne of the Air Force Director of the Third Reich with the rank of Air Force Admiral in 1939. This is the second highest position of the German Air Force. The operation of the Luftwaffe was in his hands when Lin was away.

Then, Goering fell, and his new master should be Reinhardt, who succeeded him as commander-in-chief of the Air Force. Feng. Staid.

However, this sensitive olfactory smelled a breath before the storm from the shock of the upper structure, so he did not hesitate to choose to turn to Hitler, who seemed to be the most powerful at the time, to become one of Hitler buried in the air force. nail.

What he didn't expect was that Reinhardt would be so powerful, and Hitler, who was invincible in the eyes of others, also fell quickly.

(From this point of view, this guy is still an excellent broom star, and it's the kind of boss.)

As a result, Milch fell into an embarrassing situation, failing to stand against the team twice in a row. This is an unthinkable thing in the German team. The average person standing wrong once is enough to ruin the future, not to mention twice. .

Mirchi spent the first week in panic, waiting for the thunder of the new head.

However, nothing happened. In the following days, Mirchi did not receive the punishment he expected except for the combat command given to the Air Force. The investigation team sent by the headquarters to clean the Air Force did not take any action against it. Even on the surface, it maintained sufficient respect and courtesy for the Air Force Director.

This confuses Milch, but he immediately reacts with a sharp mind. The sense of smell of the weather vane is not blown out. From the attitude of the upper class towards him now, he feels that the new head of state does not seem to want to punish himself. It seems that he still has the value to use that one.

In this case, Milch is not a fool, he immediately knew what to do at this time.

As a result, the allegiance of allegiance of snow flakes swept toward the headquarter of the headquarter.

Except for Milch’s own daily copy of these allegiance books, the rest were written by commanders at other levels of the Air Force under his command.

The commanders were not stupid, and when they saw Milch still sitting there, they understood that the weather vane had escaped another storm. What else is to say, loyalty to the new head of state is always what they should do. Usually there is no such opportunity. Both the new head of state and the air force director can be pleased. What is the best of both worlds.

As a result, the mail management office of the Headquarters Base Camp encountered an unprecedented terrorist attack, and they were almost buried by the allegiance letter sent by the Air Force.

For a time, the entire office was filled with snow-white envelopes bearing the flying eagle logo. Air Force aircraft send dozens of sacks of similar letters every day, which is the benefit of mastering resources. Looking at the pile of postal parcels that were about to hit the roof, the officers in charge of handling letters at the base camp almost wanted to use the letter opener to collectively break themselves. The Air Force did not want to be loyal to the head of state, but was prepared to use the tactics of overwork and death to form a system to annihilate the mail management office of the headquarter. The attack didn't end until Xu Jun had a phone call with Mirchi for this. All the members of the Mail Management Office of the Headquarters Base Camp collectively shattered on the bed of the dormitory after calling the heads for three years.

The incident was named the Air Force mailbox bomb attack by the post office of the base camp, and vowed that if the Air Force dared to do this again, they would fight with the flying hybrids, and even if they died, they would drag two or three Air Force generals back.

To be honest, the weather vane was guessed right once. Although Xu Jun was very angry with the guy's previous betrayal, Xu Jun did not want to move Milch.

Milch is a personal talent. Xu Jun is very clear about this. The Air Force can develop as it is now under the leadership of a chaotic guy like Goering. Milch has a great contribution to it.

Although Milch is not a suitable air force leader, he lacks the concept of proper use of the air force, but he is a very good manager. This cannot be denied by anyone.

However, Xu Jun is also well aware of this guy's fatal shortcomings, his ambition is too big, and his desire for power is very strong. Milch, who is unwilling to work in his own job, always likes to stretch his hands very long. The later decline of the German Air Force has a lot to do with these shortcomings of this guy.

Therefore, Xu Jun has been thinking about how to use this guy with as many advantages and disadvantages as possible.

Xu Jun was going to put a little pressure on this guy first, so when Mirchi showed his allegiance to himself, Xu Jun felt the opportunity came.

He spoke directly with Milch, first expressed his dissatisfaction with the other party's actions in a harsh tone, and then severely reprimanded Milch for his unauthorized involvement in the work of the Air Force Chief of Staff, and specifically pointed out that the other party was in the Air Force. What short-sighted development will cause huge damage to German national security.

Milch was scared alive by the cold sweat. He dared not justify it. It was foolish and dangerous to justify his mistakes in front of a ducái. This is the experience he got from Hitler.

Therefore, he just desperately confessed his previous behavior on the phone, and he always looked for opportunities to express his loyalty to Xu Jun.

Xu Jun did not say much. After continuing to beat the opponent a few times, he generously forgave the other’s previous faults and accepted the loyalty of the Air Force Director. Before ending the call, the head of state also expressed his gentleness to Milch. I will wait and see, and hope that Mirchi will not let me down.

Xu Jun does not doubt the loyalty of this weather vane, because now he has no backer to rely on besides himself. As long as he often taps on the guy’s long hand and head, this guy is still trustworthy and It can be used normally.

At this point, Xu Jun used Milch to truly control the Luftwaffe.

"The current structure of the Luftwaffe is too large. Cumbersome tasks and bloated command structures slow down the efficiency that the Air Force should have. This will seriously hinder the normal development and operations of the Air Force in the future.

I believe that if this situation continues, our air force will soon be unable to adapt to the world's rapid development of air tactics. An army that cannot keep up with the trend and cannot adapt to the new war situation and rhythm will eventually be eliminated. "

Xu Jun looked at the men in front of him and said.

"That's it, my head, and I share your feelings about it." Kaiserin nodded in agreement.

"Your suggestion is very good. This may be the only way to save the Air Force from the present dilemma. However, when forming this force, a clear division of labor must be achieved with the Air Force. The overlapping of powers is often contradictory. You must remember this source of breeding."

"I understand, Head of State." Kaiserin answered directly.

"Well, since the main task of this unit is to support the Army's operations, then call him the Army Aviation Corps. Simply cut off the relationship with the Air Force and establish a new unit."

"Wait a minute, my head."

Brauchid couldn't sit still, but he still hadn't figured out what Xu Jun was talking about. But when he heard the strange word of Army Aviation, Brauchid couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in his heart.

Although he didn't understand what it was, but since the word "landing army" was used, it must be related to the army, so as the army commander, he was anxious to get a clear answer from Xu Jun.

"His Commander, I know what you are asking."

Xu Jun smiled and picked up a document and handed it to Brauchit, and Blumberg, who was sitting on the side, also moved his head curiously.

"I read the combat report in the previous stage and felt that there was a problem with the Luftwaffe. That was the deviation in the operational focus.

In addition to fighting with the opposing air force and carrying out bombing missions, the Air Force must also undertake combat support missions to the Army.

Close-range support, long-range support, airdropped supplies, tactical reconnaissance, expulsion of opposing bombers, positional air defense, etc. These trivial tasks have exhausted the Air Force and severely dispersed our precious combat power. Air Force commanders have become at a loss in the face of endless endless tasks.

What exactly should be the mission of the Air Force? I think now our Air Force Commanders can't figure it out for themselves.

The main task of the Air Force is to seize air supremacy, prevent the effective activities of the opposing Air Force, and eliminate all the opposing air forces. Their enemy is the enemy’s air force. They should devote all their energy and power to destroying the opposing air force. Cooperating with the army’s attack is only a secondary task of the air force.

However, now our Air Force does not do this at all. The current operational thinking of the German Air Force has made a fatal mistake at the strategic level. No, it can be said that our Air Force does not have any strategic awareness, and the Air Force’s current operational thinking is still at the ordinary tactical level, which also makes the development direction of our Air Force deviate at the same time.

This will be very detrimental to our future operations. We must take this seriously and we must correct these errors. "

Xu Jun glanced at his subordinates and then said: "General Catherine and General Bock's suggestions are very good, and this is something I have been considering. How to drag the Air Force out of the heavy quagmire of ground support, how to The efficient use of our air power allows the Air Force to free up its energy to consider strategic issues. This is a problem we urgently need to solve now.

And now we have an answer, that is, to separate tactical support missions from the ground, including all tactical missions related to Army operations, from the Air Force combat missions, and be executed by specially formed troops, as I said before. Army Aviation Corps.

This unit will have duli's command structure and will be completely out of the air force duli, directly under the command of the army headquarters. They have only one mission to cooperate with the army's ground operations.

Protecting the air security of army positions, performing cover and support during army battles, tactical bombing and ground attacks, and carrying out tactical transport missions are the main operational directions of this unit.

The Air Force can get rid of those cumbersome tasks and use all its strength to face the challenges of the enemy Air Force, while the Army can get rid of the troubles of the contact review process and can get air power support more easily and quickly, which will It will bring incalculable impetus to the future operations and development of the German Army and Air Force. "

"Great, my head, I really can't find any words to express my excitement at this moment."

Brauchitz handed that document to Blumberg, who was with his neck stretched out on one side, and he said excitedly: "This plan is so good, the Army’s command and operations will be more flexible, whether it is offensive Still defensive, the Army can obtain immediate and more efficient cover and support, which is of great significance to the Army. This means that our army no longer has to wait for air power to delay the fighter, and no longer suffer losses due to the delay of the order. The soldiers sacrificed freely under enemy fire. You can agree to this plan, and the German Army will always thank you, my head."

"No need, Lord Commander in Chief. This is something I should have thought of long ago. It's not too late for God to bless."

Xu Jun finished drawing a cross on his chest, and his men couldn't help being laughed at by the naughty action of the head of state.

"Okay, I will talk with Milch about the formation of this unit separately, and he will be here tomorrow. I am going to appoint General Richterhofen as the first commander of this new service, Kay General Sailing, what do you think."

"This... everything follows your will, my head."

As the proponent of this suggestion, Kesselin was originally coveted by that position.

After all, it is the commander-in-chief of a new army, which is completely different from his current commander of an air force, and he also sees that the future development of this army will be very broad. Although it is impossible to sit on par with the Air Force, it will not. Too much difference.

But now the situation is different. He found that the head of state already had a similar plan, and he wanted to go farther than himself. His suggestion did not seem to be on the table.

So although he was a little jealous, he still accepted Xu Jun's proposal. He believed that Xu Jun would not forget his performance this time and would definitely reward himself.

"Very well, then this matter has been settled in this way. The next thing I want to talk about is about when we entered Paris."

Xu Jun smiled and returned the document from Blumberg to the file shelf.

"General Bock, except for my legion, the rest of the troops are under your command. What is the situation now?"

"My head of state, I have conducted a rigorous selection of the troops participating in the city-style. All the personnel are all elites in each army, and their equipment has undergone rigorous testing. There will be absolutely no mistakes.

Now that the troops are undergoing final intensive training, I believe that we will be able to obtain the results we expected, and those French will be shocked by the majesty of our German team. "Boke answered excitedly.

"Not only shock, my general, I want them to be fascinated by the German ** team, make them crazy for this." Xu Jun said.

"Well, huh, the troops I participated in this time were all carefully selected. They were all the handsome German guys with the most Germanic temperament. I think they will be able to charm all Paris girls... Brauziqi interjected on the side.

"Then all men in Paris will be jealous. My Excellency, what will we use to impress these jealous men?" Xu Jun said with a smile.

"This..." The troops that participated in the city-style even the horses have been rigorously screened and replaced with new horseshoes and new horse dung bags. The soldiers' uniforms have all been sent out, as well as medals and medals. ."

Bok now looks like a crappy salesman.

"All the armored vehicles have been repainted, and even the tracks and tires have been replaced with new ones. Those armored vehicles now look like the new factory. What about tanks, your immediate tank regiment..."

"I know, I know..." Xu Jun stopped Boke's words.

"I saw it when I walked before breakfast. It was shining and looked like a jewelry box... armored... jewelry box."

"But it's really beautiful and very magnificent. My head."

"Okay, when will all the preparations be done, Marshal Bock."

"This evening will be the last dress rehearsal, mainly with the cooperation of the armored forces. I think everything is fine." Boke replied respectfully: "Now I only need to contact Paris for a specific time, my head of state."

"Very good, contact Paris immediately and let them bookmark the surrender by the way. I think they have been looking forward to this day. These things will be left to you. Marshal Bock, let them send the surrender book, I Come and sign."

"Obey, my head of state, they will send messengers to contact today, that guy brings that surrender book every time, I think..."

"Yes, take him to the headquarters, you can talk to him about specific issues."

"Observe, my head." Boke replied respectfully.

"That's it, tell the French side that I am going to enter Paris the day after tomorrow to prepare them."

"Obey, my head."

Xu Jun stood up and walked to the office window, looking in the direction of Paris. Although he saw nothing but lush bushes and tall woods, Xu Jun knew that the first stop on his long road to conquest, the Pearl of Europe, was there waiting for his arrival.

In what attitude this noble city will face him as a conqueror, Xu Jun could not help raising a trace of anticipation from his heart.
