Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 183: On the way

The air conditions in Berlin are good and are very suitable for flying. The four existing FW200s in the squadron are all towed to the runway.

Nowadays, many aircraft of this type have been retired from the Air Force, but they have not had time to be converted into a transport type because of the need to remove the bombing and machine gun pods at the bottom of the fuselage. This modification can only be done in a professional factory. . Now the Fokwolf factory’s airport runway is full of such large patrol aircraft.

Last month, the Berlin Air Force Base received six modified condors to be used as official aircraft for government officials. The one with the best aircraft was determined to be one of the spare aircraft directly under the imperial head of state. It was forbidden to be called by any unit and was on standby in the hangar for 24 hours. This bald eagle did not improve the engine and wings like the Empire One, but the interior of the cabin was quite luxuriously decorated to cater to the taste of the head of state.

The trip of the German head of state can be said to be quite low-key. Except for some chief officers of the high command, not many people in the government know the news of the head of state leaving Berlin.

The straight-line distance from Berlin to Taranto Port in Italy is about 1,300 kilometers. It originally needed to travel through three countries, Czech Republic, Austria and Yugoslavia, but now the first two countries have been annexed by the Third Reich, so airplanes are needed on the way Only Yugoslavia is left in the foreign airspace.

The scale of the Yugoslav Air Force is small and its equipment is relatively backward. Earlier, it had been purchasing active-duty models from Britain and France. After improving relations with Germany, it also acquired a batch of Messerschmitt 109 fighters. Yugoslavia has also developed a light fighter model with IK, which is similar in appearance and performance to the French MS406 fighter. In history, when Germany invaded Yugoslavia, the air force equipped with IK fighters resisted stubbornly. As a result, it only lasted for six days and lost all.

At present, Germany has formed a military alliance with Yugoslavia, so there is no need to worry about any accidents in the airspace of the other side. In addition, Germany has stationed several fighter squadrons in Ljubljana, and they will dispatch planes to clear the airspace around the route.

The German Air Force Command also transferred a BF110 destroyer squadron from the Salzburg base. They will rendezvous with the Führer's fleet in Austria, and then **** the special plane to Italy.

The German head of state’s special plane has a special number and painting. This is difficult to hide from industry peers. Therefore, the plane will not stop at any airport in the middle. However, the FW200 has a range of up to 3,500 kilometers. Flying is just a small matter.

After taking off from Berlin, the journey went smoothly. The plane only made two turns near Munich to avoid a thunderstorm cloud over the area. After flying over the original German-Austrian border, the aircraft group met on time with the **** squadron taking off from Salzburg.

The pilots of the destroyer did not know the facts of their mission in advance. The commander of the leader only knew that the Air Force Command ordered them to go to a predetermined area, meet with a formation of German transport aircraft, and then **** these aircraft to the port of Taranto. It was not until the destroyer was close to the distance that the bald eagle's fuselage markings could be clearly seen.

"Be careful to keep a safe distance, gentlemen, this is the special plane of the head of the empire." The special plane pilot just said this braggingly, and after a few seconds of silence, the special communication frequency suddenly became so noisy. The market is similar.

The captain left the cockpit and entered the cockpit. He respectfully asked the head of state to open the sunshade on the porthole. Xu Jun didn't react for a while and subconsciously followed suit. Immediately he saw twelve BF110 fighter jets lined up in a neat column, slowly passing through the portholes in turn, the crew members in the cockpit raised their hands to salute the head of state plane, and the cabin microphones simultaneously sounded neat salutes from the pilots.

After experiencing this dramatic parade in the air, the Führer kept a very happy mood for the next few hours of voyage.

There are no mobile audio-visual equipment these days. Long-distance flights are quite boring. In a limited enclosed space, there is almost nothing to do except reading and chatting.

Sometimes Hitler would read a book for a while on the plane, or chat with the flatterers who accompanied him, more often he would fall into quiet contemplation, no one knew what he was thinking, but there are indeed many important things. The decision was made during the flight.

Xu Jun also likes to think about problems during the flight. Disenhofen followed the usual practice and carried some official documents that must be reviewed as soon as possible, so the imperial head of state began to work in the air.

Xu Jun signed his name on a report on the construction of a new engine factory, put down his pen and rubbed his brows.

"Weirle, I always feel that I have forgotten something." Xu Jun said to Weierle.

"Is it a very important thing?" Weierle put his elbow on the armrest of the seat and moved forward slightly.

"It should be very important, I have this feeling, but I just can't remember it now." The head of state shook his head.

"Forget it, leave it alone, Eric, find out the report from the Krupp factory and give it to me." Xu Jun turned his face to Disenhofen sitting diagonally behind and said To.

"Please wait, my Führer." Disenhofen rummaged in the leather file box in the middle of the aisle.

"Wait a minute, I might have heard it wrong. You mean this meeting was cancelled?" Molotov stood in the waiting room of the Prime Minister's Office, looking at Ribbentrop with a puzzled look.

"You heard that right, Mr. Molotov, because of an unexpected change, this meeting can only be cancelled." Ribbentrop scratched his nose in embarrassment.

"Mr. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, you should understand that the nature of this type of problem may become very serious. Can you tell me what the unexpected change you are talking about is? I must know the real cause, otherwise Unable to reply to Moscow." Molotov pressed the anger in his chest, staring at Ribbentrop's eyes and asked.

"Your Excellency the Führer ~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly left Berlin an hour ago."

"What? Does he not know how important today's meeting is?" Molotov's voice became sharp at this time.

"Please pay attention to your words. You are talking about the head of the Greater German Reich, Mr. People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs." Ribbentrop sank.

"I must report what happened here to Moscow. This behavior of your head of state will affect the good friendship between the Soviet Union and Germany. You have to bear all the consequences." Molotov coldly Speaking of.

"Should I regard this as a threat? Mr. People's Committee for Foreign Affairs." Ribbentrop's face showed a sneer.

"Whatever you think, Mr. Foreign Minister, I don't want to stay here anymore. There will be some time later, Mr. Foreign Minister." Molotov turned around and strode out of the VIP waiting room with his entourage.
