Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 287: Aerial discussion

Fortunately, there were several Air Force officers returning from the same plane. Weiller finally did not embarrass the wayward head of state in front of outsiders. ≤, When hearing the news that the head of state was flying in person, Weierle's heart attack was almost scared. He quickly jumped on a stork-type reconnaissance plane and rushed to the target base. After confirming that the head of state was safe, he finally felt relieved. At this time, Xu Jun felt that under the eyes of the chief of staff reflecting the cold light, information such as "Don't think you can hide it", "Go back and find your account" is being swiped.

"My head of state, regarding the previous battle of the Fifth Air Force, I want to report some personal views to you." Graham's interest at the moment is very high. This excellent aviation commander is to participate in the promotion ceremony. Coming to the headquarters, this time he will be promoted to the rank of aviation general.

He was very flattered by Xu Jun’s involvement in secret transactions with the British. As a military commander under the air force, the head of state was allowed to participate in this level of activity, which was very rare in the past. In fact, even Graeme didn't understand himself. He had something to worthy of Xu Jun's fancy. To say that he had no friendship with the God's apostle before, Hitler had shown some respect to him. Since Hitler's fall, he has always been worried that he will lose the trust of the new leader because of his relationship with the former head of state. This time the event finally opened his heart, let him breathe a sigh of relief. Jun produced a lot of gratitude. His level has been able to contact some high-level news, vaguely aware of what happened between the two heads of state, and once felt a little uneasy about Xu Jun's usurpation, but after this meeting, he has no reservations Back to the German leader, and offered his loyalty.

Xu Jun’s preference for Gram is mainly due to his understanding of his personal capabilities. In history, the Air Force commander demonstrated his extraordinary commanding ability with a brilliant record. When he served as the last Air Force Commander, the Empire fell over The strength of the Luftwaffe has almost been lost. A clever woman can't cook without rice, and Gram's failure is not a crime of war.

The Marshals of the Luftwaffe did not have any parallels except for Milch and the biggest one, but it was because of the biggest rat shit. Suddenly this whole pot of porridge is broken. Since taking office, Xu Jun has been working hard to reverse various problems in the German army. Especially for the Air Force, Xu Jun has never stopped paying attention to it. Because the history he knew has proved that the future of the battlefield belongs to the Air Force. Who can get absolute air control. Whoever has won half of the victory. Under aerial reconnaissance, strike, and suppression, enemies who lose their air cover will have nowhere to hide. In every large-scale battle, the one who wins the battle is mostly the one who has mastered air control on the battlefield. Only when the air control powers are equal, it is necessary to watch the forces of the two sides confront each other. Especially in strategic bombing, the party holding the air supremacy can wantonly attack the enemy’s rear targets, weaken the opponent’s war potential, destroy the enemy’s military and civilian resistance, and spread despair and terror to every inch of land that the bomber can reach.

The Luftwaffe has obvious shortcomings, because most of the top commanders are from fighter forces. Perhaps because of the experience, the perspective has become somewhat narrow. Goering was a competent commander-in-chief, but not a competent commander. Under the guidance of his wrong strategic thinking, the development path of the Luftwaffe became more and more crooked. In the end, an original variety of combat concepts were ahead of the world. The first-class air force has become a wild monster used by allied rookies to brush achievements.

"By March next year, we are preparing to form another 20 fighter wing. This work is very arduous. I am going to appoint an experienced senior general to take charge of this matter. General Grim, I believe you have enough ability Take on this role. When you have successfully completed this work, I will consider arranging more important responsibilities for you." Xu Jun said to Graham with a smile.

"Thank you very much, my head of state. I feel very proud to be able to get this important task." Graham replied loudly and excitedly. The head's words were already very obvious. Obviously in front of him was a heavenly avenue, forming a new group Although the army is a heavy administrative task, it can also be regarded as a test of personal administrative ability, if one can produce results that make people have nothing to say. Then no one can express doubts about rising into the top of the Air Force.

"I said that before, I believe in your ability, General Grimm." Xu Jun once again affirmed to the other party. After the series of carrots smashed down, are you afraid that the other party will not become your diehard?

What Xu Jun wants to do now is to plan ahead. He must draw more confidants in the army, so that in the future when reversal may occur, his control of the army can still be preserved. Hitler's method is to insert a group of irons hard into the military system. The method is simple and rude, but the effect is fast. The disadvantage is that the level of confidant insertion is extremely limited. In addition to causing disgust and resistance from the army generals, there is no scruples. Corruption eventually led to complaints in the front and chaos in the rear. The ultimate destruction of the Third Reich, Hitler's partisans played a big role in it.

Xu Jun has learned the lessons of Hitler. In the evaluation of personnel in key positions, his ability has been placed in the second most important position. The first important thing is of course, like Hitler, he must be extremely loyal to himself. However, what origin and bloodline Hitler focused on was all kicked out of the evaluation criteria by Xu Jun. The tolerance shown by the new head of state in these respects was very welcome and affirmed by the army generals. In addition to satisfying the moral cleanliness of some people, it also made the turmoil a few months ago got the final coffin identification. At that time, the generals on Xu Jun’s side were convinced that their decision was correct. , Not only saved Germany in a crisis, but also safeguarded justice and conscience. Xu Jun didn't know whether supporting one dictator to overthrow another dictator would be considered justice, but everyone should be happy, not too real. Another reason is that the expansion of the Army is imminent. The number of qualified soldiers in Germany is limited. If Hitler's method is adopted, many qualified soldiers will be eliminated.

"General Graham, what do you think of the kind of four-engine bomber in Britain? By the way, Major Garland and Majors, you can also talk about your views." Xu Jun deflected and looked towards sitting Two super ace cards in the back row. At this time, Garland had already forty-three shots down, and Merdes had reached sixty-one. If it were not early for the end of the war, he might be able to break the Baron Hitchhofen during World War I. The record set is, of course, the premise that the British Air Force still has aircraft capable of taking off and fighting.

"My head, if the data of the British is true. Oh, of course this can be proved from the test flight. The British are unlikely to play tricks in this regard. This will be a stand-out long-range bomber, I am not yet Knowing which other model in the world can be compared with her, I suggest that the Luftwaffe should build and equip this aircraft, or develop similar models. This is just my personal opinion. Maybe we can call more generals This bomber has an assessment and certification, and understand the advantages and disadvantages of this bomber." Graham replied seriously.

"I see, I think General Udet will be interested in this. Major Merdes, did you see him last time you returned to Berlin? I don't know how he is now." Xu Jun turned around and asked Merdes.

"The mood is a little low. My head, you know, he has a good relationship with Marshal Goring." Merdes answered.

"He will also come to Paris this time, and I will talk to him separately." Xu Jun nodded after listening to this. The Air Force Weapon Production Director is not competent for his job. The commander of the front-line combat troops is his most important. The suitable position may make him happy by one transfer. Xu Jun has a good grasp of the air heroes in the hearts of the Germans who are attracting the idol of this young Air Force pilot.

"Tell me, Garland. What do you think of that bomber." Xu Jun turned to Garland.

"My head, she seems to be a target that is not easy to shoot down. We have dealt with many British bombers. Some are vulnerable, but some are very tricky, such as Wellington." Garland turned. After looking at Merdes, he turned his face and nodded his approval. He replied: "In my opinion, this type of bomber is more difficult to deal with. Four engines, metal fuselage, Three vertical tails. The motor turret is different from the targets we have encountered before. To deal with this large bomber, the pilot must have a full understanding of it, find the enemy’s defensive fire dead end. Then initiate continuous Attack. But what to do, I think we need to conduct several air combat exercises to test it."

Garland reverently answered Xu Jun’s question. The ace showed some cynicism on weekdays, but at this time he was facing the German head of state who had become his idol, and beside him was the biggest competitor of his life. Of course, you cannot speak in the same manner as in the past. You know that he is also known for speaking a lot in front of Goering.

"What do you think, Major Moldes."

"My opinion is similar to that of Major Garland. I saw her defensive firepower configuration, which is quite a fierce opponent. However, the maneuverability of the bomber cannot be compared with that of a fighter. We can test the attack from all angles. Once let us If a weakness is found, then the pilot can be targeted for training, but the technical requirements are very high. If a novice wants to shoot down such a big guy, there is still a certain risk." Merdes answered.

"If we are equipped with such a bomber, then we have to find an **** fighter that can fly with her. It is fully loaded with a 4,000-kilometer range. My God, our bf109 is obviously unable to carry out a full escort."

"Perhaps you can dive from the zenith position to attack, her top is not equipped with defensive firepower."

"This is just a prototype. Did you see the rear wing in the middle? This thing will be removed, and then a turret will be added to the back, just like Blenheim." What the head of state will do for Lancaster in the future It's very clear.

"My head, so at the bottom, we can launch an assault."

"This is a test of the pilot's skills. To avoid the tail turret, timing is very important, but it is four machine guns."

"Well, this is a problem, let me think about it."

"If dozens or even hundreds of these planes are dispatched together, they will form a large three-dimensional formation and form a fire defense network with each other."

"Facts have proved that without the cooperation of **** fighters, no amount of self-defense firepower is enough." Several Air Force officers began a heated discussion.

But the good times didn't last long, and when I talked and didn't know what happened, the topic suddenly turned to the flight.

"My head, I never expected you to be an excellent fighter pilot, especially in the afternoon landing, it was perfect." Garland's admiring face admired.

"I just wanted to try how the latest model of the 109 works. It was really very good," Xu Jun said. He stopped here, and saw the cold light of Weierle's eyes in his afterglow.

"Smooth." Xu Jun's mouth twitched and finished speaking, a drop of cold sweat came from his forehead.
