Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 299: Flying Team (Part 2)

The enthusiasm of the French Indochina garrison once surprised German pilots. Many of these flying elites were still fighting with the French Air Force over Europe three months ago. …≦. …≦

The pilot who taught the team the fewest crash records is already a quasi-ace, and currently the second highest Lieutenant Nemo has reached 37, of which one-third of the record comes from the French campaign, ranking second It was Lieutenant Sarah, his wingman. The total number of crashes reached 33, and Major Captain Major Shi Boru ranked third with a score of 30. However, no one in the brigade will think that this ranking represents the true strength. If it was not Captain Major Sprague who spent a lot of time in the training of the new aircraft and the administrative work of the brigade during the war, otherwise her flight skills, The record has far surpassed the pair of red and blue stars, and the two super trump cards also agree with this statement.

It can be said that almost every one of these pilots had the blood of French pilots on their hands, so before they arrived in French Indochina, they were already psychologically prepared for trouble and cold encounters. Who would have thought that after they set foot on this exotic land, everyone they encountered, regardless of government officials, local garrisons, or even ordinary French expatriates, all showed unexpected enthusiasm.

Not only did they not show any hostility to these Germans, but they made the Germans feel their warm welcome all the time. After careful observation for a while, the Germans were surprised to find that this attitude should all come from a sincere heart. The French are really welcoming the German Air Force to come to this land and strengthen the local defense level.

This issue involves the difference between the colony and the homeland. The French have colonized Annan for almost a century. The local armed forces and government officials are basically French citizens recruited in the colony. A large part of them are born. In the second and third generations of immigrants in Indochina, many people have never stepped on the French mainland since birth. The distant motherland in their minds is just a noun, a banner, a language and a history. To say what France means to them, many people do not know how to comment. For these people, Indochina is the hometown they are most familiar with, and they marry and have children in this land. And their juniors will be born here and buried in Sri Lanka like them.

This place is too far away from the mainland. When France was in a war, Saigon’s bar nightclubs were still singing and dancing like before, and the expatriates were almost indifferent to the brutal war on French territory. Those thrilling grand battles here are just a talk of the local gentry after tea and dinner. It wasn't until France's continuous defeat on the battlefield that Paris was finally occupied by the Germans that local officials and gentry began to get nervous. Officials began to worry about the future of the colony. After losing local support, the colonial government may have difficulty maintaining the local rule. The businessmen are worried. If France fails in this war, the trade between the colony and Europe will definitely be affected, which will be a heavy blow to the local mining and processing industries. Not only that, this effect must be chain-like, and the entire colonial economy is likely to fall into depression.

Fortunately, these things that they were worried about did not happen, or because the defeat of France was so fast that the harm would be produced in the future, and everything would have fallen. France was defeated, and it is true that these colonial residents are indeed sentimental. But this kind of feeling will never last longer than a week, and then the song and dance dances, and everything seems to be back to the original.

The problem is that the world has indeed changed at this time, and it is obviously not feasible to escape by covering your eyes and covering your ears. French Indochina soon felt the impact of the European war on South Asia, and the threat of foreign invasions once again enveloped the land. The Japanese Chen Bing border is different from distant Europe. This is a threat that is tangible and tangible. The armed strength of French Indochina, once launched, may overturn everything in sight.

The aggressive attitude shown by the Japanese government. Even the people at the bottom of the colonial society can feel it. The French diaspora society at the top of the colony was suddenly in panic. They had long heard of the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese in China, especially some small news from the French concession in Shanghai, which made them believe that once these beasts were given a chance. They will never be kind to you because you are white.

The day when the Japanese army launched the invasion, the French officials in Indochina felt the fear for the first time. They knew very well that when the Japanese fleet was found in the Haiphong offshore sea, this French colony was actually only one step away from the disaster. But like those sung in ancient medieval psalms, at the most critical moment. There must be heroes to save people in danger.

This hero is General Jean Degu, and the fleet and army he brought with him. Obviously the Japanese retreat has a direct connection with their timely arrival. Jean De Gu immediately became famous, and became a savior of the colony, which made his process of accepting the governor's authority unparalleled.

What made the French officials in the colony even more happy was that Jean De Gu not only brought reinforcements and huge warships, but also brought news that France and Germany formally formed an alliance. It seems that to prove this, a German army came along with the Governor. This is the first time the German Armed Forces have appeared in this territory, but it is not fear but great peace of mind for the local French.

Some well-informed people in the colonial population and learned of the previous Japanese army's actions, so soon the entire immigrant society became aware of the strangled crisis, and felt terrified. So when you see the Germans appear, it is like injecting them with a relief pill. With the support of the world's first military power, I would like to ask if there are any other people who don't have long eyes and dare to come and poke the tiger's beard.

At the beginning, Jean De Gu worried about the reaction of the local people and was deeply afraid of their resistance to the Germans, so he launched a public opinion offensive in the colony just after he took over. The general manuscript prepared by the French Presidential Palace was used. Proclaiming that the war is over, Japan and Germany are now friendly, don't be blinded by hatred, the people of Germany and France should join hands to build a better future.

Where did Degusgo think of the local people who had never had any hatred towards the Germans from the beginning, it was impossible to talk about blinding their eyes. Anyway, in the end, the Germans were warmly welcomed in the colony. For this reason, Degussa also produced a lot of photos and news interview manuscripts, and sent them back to the mainland as his achievements.

It was in this atmosphere that the Spreu's flight squadron came to French Indochina, so at this time when facing the enthusiasm of the French garrison at the Hele base, you will no longer feel embarrassed and surprised.

All members of the first squadron of the special flying team were concentrated in the briefing room of the Hele base. They carried out the summary of the transition flight. They praised several well-performing pilots and pointed out the errors made by the teams on the way. After that, Major Sporru began to inform his subordinates of the brigade's next phase of action plan.

"Everyone has received a set of the latest aerial maps now, and I need you to keep these in mind." The flying captain, who was vigorous and vigorous, stood on the podium and looked at the rows in front of him like a pupil Aces who are sitting in danger.

"Our next task is very important, so you all have to take me seriously. This is not alarmist. It was the Supreme Commander who made this plan, and it was the great head of state who finally signed." , She lifted her chin, narrowed her eyes and scanned the expression on the faces of her men.

"Very well, it seems that you have all understood the meaning." Sprague nodded with satisfaction, then held the gorgeously decorated saber scabbard in his hand and walked to the map board on the side of the platform.

"Here is the Hele base, our final destination is here." Shi Boru pointed his scabbard at a point on the map.

Immediately she heard a commotion whispering below, the squadron captain turned quickly, the charming corner of her mouth slightly raised, revealing the cold smile that had been regarded as a dangerous forecast by her men.

"Your reaction really disappointed me. Isn't anyone here excited about this?" Shi Boru held the sword hilt in his hand and leaned his long sword in front of him.

"I know what you are worrying about, and the teaching brigade has never carried out such a distance expedition. But" Sporu looked up proudly, and the beautiful face of the Air Force major seemed to be shining in his eyes.

"Who is leading you or a rookie, driving Messerschmitt, fighting 400 kilometers and sweeping across northern France?" Sperub asked.

"It's you, Major Sprague." The adjutant of operations replied loudly.

"Who led you to drive Fokker Wolf through the English Channel and beat the British Air Force fart."

"It's you, Major Sporru!" the administrative adjutant answered.

"So this time, when we face this unprecedented expedition, why do you still feel hesitant and worried? Did you forget who the commander who led this brigade was, tell me that name!" Questioning.

"Major Leitpanyu von Sporru!" the pilots cheered with emotion. (To be continued.)
