Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The Germans were very dissatisfied with the results of this sudden air battle, so why not the Russians? They do not admit that the quality of their aircraft is a problem, although after an air battle, it needs to be overhauled.

But this must not be a quality problem. They were all injured during the battle with the Luftwaffe and needed to be overhauled.

Ever since Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich was relieved of the position of commander-in-chief of the Russian army by the Tsar and assumed the position of supreme commander of the Russian army himself, the Russian army has experienced various degrees of chaos, which has created opportunities for the capitalists.

It cannot be said that it is impossible to say, but the generals of the Russian army on the front line are well aware of it, so everyone has no love and helplessness for domestic weapons.

The commander of the Russian Air Force, Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolai Okas, is very helpless. Other weapons are fine, but they are rough and have a shorter service life, but their air force is not good!

Originally, the aircraft of this era often needed maintenance, and the spare parts often needed to be replaced, but the service life of the spare parts of the Russian military aircraft was shorter.

I have to admire the flexibility of these Russian capitalists. They have all started to use one-off spare parts. After selling the plane, they can continue to sell the spare parts. The idea of ​​sustainable development has reached the highest level!

Colonel Daniel Wellington, director of the logistics department of the Russian Air Force, said: "General, this is our maintenance report. It is estimated that it will take half a month to complete the maintenance work."

Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolaokas nodded, which was already in his expectation. In the records of the Russian army, this time is really not long.

"Got it, good job Colonel Daniel." Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas Okas was really praising him. Compared with his predecessor, he was indeed shrewd and capable.

Colonel Daniel smiled and said, "General, this is what I should do. But we are running out of spare parts, and the logistics department has not yet said anything. I am worried..."

Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolaokas interrupted: "Well, we urge the country to ship the materials you need as soon as possible, no..."

Before Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas Okas could finish speaking, the air defense siren suddenly sounded.

"Woo~woo~woo~woo"

"Guards, go and see what's going on outside?" Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas said angrily.

"Yes!" a soldier replied immediately

After speaking, he ran out in a hurry. As soon as he looked up at the sky, he was taken aback. The German plane was whizzing. After a two-second pause, the guards responded and ran back immediately.

Excitedly, he said: "General, it's not good! Germany ~ German planes~~"

Before he could finish speaking, Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolaokas ran directly to the dugout. As a senior general of the Russian army, he took his life very seriously.

After entering the air-raid shelter, Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolai Okas calmed down and ordered: "Order the fighter jets to take off to block the Germans, and the anti-aircraft firepower will hit me hard, let the Germans know that we Awesome!"

At this time, the bombs of the German army had already fallen from the sky, and more than a dozen Russian planes had also launched into the sky, bravely going to face the Germans.

No way, in this era before radar was born, air defense depends on the naked eye.

It was almost time to spot the enemy.

The Russian Air Force, which has just experienced a major war, has basically lost its combat effectiveness, while the Luftwaffe can still continue to fight. The gap between the two sides is self-evident.

It came and went in a hurry. This sudden air raid ended in just over half an hour, but the losses to the Russians were not small.

After the air raid, Lieutenant Nikolai Nikolaokas came out of the air raid shelter. His face was gloomy and terrifying. The airport was already a sea of ​​fire, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The success of the Germans' easy sneak attack is inseparable from the carelessness of the defenders. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Luftwaffe must also be overhauled after an air battle. Unexpectedly, it was attacked the next day. !

As the top commander at the scene, Lieutenant General Nicola-Nicolas Okas can't escape this time, but he is not worried about his own future. Anyway, he is in his current position, and there is no further progress. possible!

Nicola-Nicolas Okas is worried about the after-effects of this air strike. Does it mean that the air supremacy of the Eastern Front will fall into the hands of the Germans?

This is also related to the fate of the Russian Empire. Once air supremacy is lost, can the Russian Army, which is already at a disadvantage, withstand it?

If they can't stop the German attack, the consequences are really unimaginable!

After pondering for a while, Lieutenant General Nicolas Nikolaokas reacted. Someone had already organized the firefighting at the scene. He was only here to inspect the front line, and there was no need to continue to intervene.

After Nikolai Nikolaokas sighed, he said to his adjutant: "This inspection is over, I'm going back to St. Petersburg and arrange a special plane!"

Although the adjutant is a little puzzled, something has just happened, shouldn't he be in command? How to get back to St. Petersburg? But he still replied habitually: "Yes!"

As a senior general, the Russian military has a practice not to take domestically produced planes. Their special planes are all imported goods, not only they but also the top government officials.

It's not that they worship foreign countries, and domestic aircraft often need repairs. The most pitiful thing is that the quality of their spare parts is often not up to standard, and there is a small chance of failure.

It's just that their fault is extraordinary. There is a certain chance that the plane will fall directly from the sky; or when they need to lift off to avoid the mountains, they may hit it directly...

It's not just Russian planes. In this era, plane accidents all over the world are high, but there are more hairy bears.

...

"Your Majesty, this is our Air Force's plan for improving combat effectiveness." Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas Okas handed over a document to Nicholas II, knowing that he would become a capitalist after today. thorns in their eyes.

However, he doesn't care either. There are not many capitalists involved in the field of aircraft manufacturing in this era, and their strength is not very strong, so he can't do anything about it.

It is the bureaucrats within the government who can really cause trouble. As the vested interests, they will definitely not give up.

Nicholas II's face was changing from sunny to cloudy, and finally the clouds were thick. It was obvious that he was angry, and the storm was coming.

"Your plan to improve combat effectiveness is to use imported goods for all aircraft?" Nicholas II asked angrily

Lieutenant General Nicola-Nicolas Okas said calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty! Our Air Force has come to a conclusion after a comprehensive analysis of cost and aircraft performance and analysis!"

This is not aimless. Now the price of Russian-made aircraft is really more expensive than imported aircraft, and the quality is completely incomparable.

He has calculated that if all the military expenditure of the Air Force is imported, it can add more than 100 aircraft, and the greed of the Russian capitalists can be imagined.

No, their cost would have been higher. The public relations fee is much higher than the cost of aircraft production. It is normal for the total price to be higher and the quality to be lower.

Nicholas II suppressed his anger. Now is the time of war. It is normal for the military to want better weapons and equipment. The domestic capitalists are unsatisfactory, and there is no way for them to choose outsourcing.

Of course, this is related to the fact that Nicholas II was also very dissatisfied with the behavior of the capitalists.

This is also related to the internal struggle of the previous Russian government. In the Russian ideological circle, there have always been two opposing ideological factions, the Slavic faction and the Western faction. These two ideological factions have always dominated the development of Russian politics and the future of the country.

First of all, the Slavs believe that since Ivan III, Russia has inherited the title of the Roman Emperor of the Byzantine Empire and the leadership of the Orthodox Church, which means that Russia has the right and obligation to rule the world and save the world.

Obviously, since Russia has inherited the legacy of the Byzantine Empire, it has the obligation and the right to restore the territory and beliefs of the former Roman Empire.

Therefore, the Slavs believe that the homogeneity of Russian society, the nobility of people's morality and the super-stability of society brought about by the materialistic Western society, cannot be compared.

Therefore, the Slavs believed that Peter the Great was a sinner of the Russian nation, and it was precisely because he learned the reforms of the West that he led to the loss of the homogeneity of Russian society. Therefore, the Slavs believed that Peter the Great was a sinner of the Russian nation, and criticized it.

The Western school believes that Russia is far behind the developed Western European society. Therefore, Russia should learn from the West in a comprehensive way, so as to gradually narrow the gap with the Western European countries, and then integrate into the developed Western European society.

Therefore, the Westerners believe that it is Peter the Great who is regarded as a hero and that Peter the Great learns from the reforms of the West, which is the great enhancement of Russia's national strength, so that it can defeat Sweden, known as the absolute hegemon of the Baltic Sea, in one fell swoop in the Northern War. The leap to become one of the most powerful nations in Europe was the result of Peter the Great learning from the West.

Therefore, from Peter the Great to the early period of Alexander I, the ideas of the Western school have always been the mainstream thinking of the Russian ruling clique.

However, after the Anti-French War, things changed. Because of the defeat of Napoleon, Russia's national self-confidence rose unprecedentedly. Therefore, the Slavic faction replaced the Western faction as the ruling ideology of the Russian ruling clique.

With the defeat of the Crimean War, Russia changed again. Alexander II believed that Russia had fallen behind Europe, and again regarded the ideas of the moderates in the Western faction as the ideas of the Russian ruling group. Under this idea, he led Russia's political and economic reforms, making Russia truly become a real European country.

However, his reforms were incomplete, the Slavs still dominated, and the Western factions remained outside the ruling class and gradually merged with the capitalists, laying the foundation for the February Revolution.

Interestingly, Bulgaria's current constitutional monarchy was set up by the exiled Western factions according to their ideal system.

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria has achieved unprecedented success, and now the momentum of the Russian Western faction is rising again, and it has the momentum to keep pace with the Slavic faction.

Under this background, Nicholas II also began to face up to the ideas of the Western faction, but he was only willing to accept the ideas of some moderates, and did not mean to comprehensively reform.

The proposal of Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas Okas made him feel the need to beat the increasingly rampant capitalists to let them know who is the master of this country.

Nicholas II said generously: "Well, the issue of purchasing aircraft, your Air Force can decide for yourself, and I will let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cooperate with you!"

Originally, he was the commander-in-chief in order to buy the heart of the army and strengthen his control over the army. Although the Air Force has the lowest voice among the three armed forces, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Nicholas II does not mind having one more supporter!

Lieutenant General Nicolas Nicolas said excitedly: "Yes! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our Air Force will never disappoint you!"

Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolai Okas did not expect that this trip to St. Petersburg would be so smooth. He was prepared to return without success under the intervention of the capitalists, but to his surprise, the Tsar was His Majesty agreed to his proposal so neatly.
