Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 287: Over the air discussion
Fortunately, there were a few Air Force officers who returned on the same plane, and Weierle finally did not embarrass the wayward head of state in front of outsiders. Hearing the news of the head of state flying in person, Weierle was almost frightened out of a heart attack. He jumped on a stork-type reconnaissance plane and rushed to the target base. After confirming that the head of state was safe and sound, he finally felt relieved. At this time, Xu Jun felt that under the chilly eyes of the Chief of Staff, messages such as "Don't think you can avoid it" and "Go back to you to settle the account" were swiping the screen.
"My head of state, I want to report some personal views to you about the previous battles of the Fifth Aviation Army." Graham is in high spirits at the moment. This excellent aviation commander is to participate The promotion ceremony came to the command headquarters, this time he will be promoted to the rank of general aviation.
Being able to be brought by Xu Jun to participate in a secret transaction with the British made him very flattered. As a military-level commander under an aviation team, he was allowed to participate in this level of activity by the head of state. rare. In fact, even Gram himself did not understand that there was something about him worthy of Xu Jun's attention. To say that he had no friendship with this apostle of God before, Hitler had expressed some respect for him. Since Hitler’s fall, he has always been worried. He is deeply afraid that he will lose the trust of the new leader because of his relationship with the former head of state. This event finally opened his knot of heart, let him breathe a sigh of relief. Jun produced a lot of gratitude. His level was already accessible to some high-level news, he was vaguely aware of what had happened between the two heads of state and deputy heads of state, and at one time felt a little uneasy about Xu Jun's usurpation, but after this meeting, he had no reservations. He fell to the German leader and offered his loyalty.
Xu Jun liked Graham mainly because of his understanding of his personal abilities. Historically, this air force commander demonstrated extraordinary commanding abilities with his brilliant record. When he served as the last air force commander, The overthrow of the empire was imminent, and the power of the Luftwaffe had almost been lost. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Gram's failure is not a crime of war.
The marshals of the German Air Force, except for Mirch and the largest one, did not have any parallel imports, but it was because of the largest rat shit. Stunned, this whole pot of porridge was broken. Since taking office, Xu Jun has been working hard to reverse the various problems in the German army. Especially for the Air Force, Xu Jun has never stopped paying attention to it. Because the history he knows has proved that the future of the battlefield belongs to the air force. Who can get absolute air supremacy. Whoever has won half of the victory. Under aerial reconnaissance, strikes, and suppression, the enemy who loses air cover will have nowhere to hide. In every large-scale battle, most of the winners are the side that has mastered the air dominance on the battlefield. Only when the air dominance is evenly matched, do we need to look at the forces of the two armies to confront each other. Especially in strategic bombing, the party with air supremacy can arbitrarily attack the enemy's rear targets, weaken the opponent's war potential, destroy the morale of resistance of the enemy's military and civilians, and spread despair and terror to every inch of land that bombers can reach.
The Luftwaffe has obvious shortcomings, because the top commanders are mostly from fighter forces. Perhaps because of experience, the perspective has become somewhat narrow. Goering is a competent patriarch, but not a competent commander. Under the guidance of his wrong strategic thinking, the development path of the Luftwaffe became more and more crooked. Eventually, a team of original combat concepts was ahead of the world. The first-class air force of the Allied forces has become a wild monster used by all rookies to brush their achievements.
"By March next year, we are going to form another twenty fighter wings. This is a very difficult task. I am going to appoint an experienced senior general to take charge of this matter. General Graham, I believe you Have enough ability to take on this task. When you successfully complete this task, I will consider arranging more important responsibilities for you." Xu Jun smiled and said to Gram.
"Thank you very much, my head of state. I feel extremely proud of being able to receive this important task." Gram replied excitedly. The head of state's words have already been said clearly, and there is obviously a great road in front of him. Forming new troops is a heavy administrative task, but it can also be seen as a test of personal administrative ability, if you can produce results that you can't say. Then no one can express doubts as he enters the top ranks of the Air Force.
"I said before, I believe in your abilities, General Graham." Xu Jun affirmed again. After this series of carrots are smashed down, are you afraid that the other party will not become your diehard?
What Xu Jun needs to do now is to plan ahead. He must draw more confidants in the army, so that he can still retain his control over the army when there may be a reversal in the future. Hitler’s approach was to forcibly insert a group of irons into the military system. The method was simple and rude, but it worked quickly. The disadvantage was that the level of confidant placement was extremely limited. In addition to arousing disgust and resistance from army generals, it also had no scruples. Corruption eventually caused grievances in the front and chaos in the back. In the eventual fall of the Third Reich, Hitler’s party members played a major role.
Xu Jun learned Hitler's lesson. In the assessment of key personnel, ability was placed in the second most important position. Of course, like Hitler, the first important thing must be extremely loyal to himself. However, Xu Jun was kicked out of the assessment criteria for all things Hitler focused on, such as birth and blood. The tolerant attitude shown by the new head of state in these respects has been welcomed and affirmed by army generals. In addition to satisfying some people’s ethics and cleanliness, it also made the turmoil a few months ago finalized. The generals on Xu Jun’s side at that time were all convinced that their decision was correct. , Not only saved Germany from the crisis, but also upheld justice and conscience. Xu Jun doesn't know if supporting one dictator to overthrow another dictator counts as defending justice, but everyone is happy, and don't be too serious. Another reason is that the army's expansion is imminent, and the number of qualified soldiers in Germany is limited. If Hitler's method is used, many qualified soldiers will be eliminated.
"General Graham, what do you think of the British four-engine bomber? By the way, Major Garland and Major Moulders, you can also talk about your opinions." Xu Jun turned to look around. To the two super aces sitting in the back row. At this time, Garland has already had a 43rd shot down, and Moulders has reached 61. If the war hadn't ended early, it might have broken the Baron Hithofen during the First World War. The record is set, of course, if the British Air Force still has aircraft capable of taking off.
"My head, if the British data is true. Oh, of course, this can be proven from the test flight. The British are unlikely to play tricks in this regard. This will be an outstanding long-range bomber. I still don’t know which model in the world can be compared with her. I suggest that the Luftwaffe should build and equip this aircraft, or develop a similar model. This is just my personal opinion. Maybe we can call for more. The generals conducted an assessment and certification of this bomber, and learned from it the advantages and disadvantages of this bomber." Graham replied seriously.
"I see, I think General Udet will be interested in this. Major Moulders, have you seen him last time when you returned to Berlin? I don't know how he is now." Xu Jun turned Turning his face to ask Murders.
"The mood is a little depressed. My head of state, as you know, he has a good relationship with Marshal Goering." Murders replied.
"He will also come to Paris this time. I will talk to him separately." Xu Jun nodded after hearing this. The Air Force weapon production director was not qualified for his job. The commander of the front-line combat force It is the most suitable position for him. Maybe a transfer can make him happy. Xu Jun has a good grasp of winning the idol of the young Air Force pilot and the aerial hero in the hearts of the Germans.
"Tell me, Garland. What do you think of that bomber." Xu Jun turned to Garland.
"My head of state, she seems to be a difficult target to shoot down. We have fought many British bombers. Some are vulnerable, but some are very tricky, such as Wellington." Rand turned to look at Murders next to him. After getting a nod of approval, he turned and continued to answer: "In my opinion, this kind of bomber is the more difficult type to deal with. Four engines, metal The fuselage, three vertical tails. The electric motor gun tower is different from the targets we have encountered before. To deal with this large bomber, the pilot must have a full understanding of it and find the opponent’s defensive firepower. Launch a continuous attack. But how to do it, I think there are still several air combat exercises to test."
Garland respectfully answered Xu Jun’s question. This trump card is a bit cynical, but at this time he is facing the German head of state who has become his idol, sitting next to him is the biggest of his life. Competitors, of course, cannot speak with the attitude of the past. You know, he is also known for his carelessness in front of Goring.
"What do you think, Major Murders."
"My opinion is similar to that of Major Garland. I saw her defensive firepower configuration. She is a very fierce opponent. However, the maneuverability of bombers cannot be compared with fighter jets. We can test attacks from various angles. Once we find the weakness, we can conduct targeted training for the pilots, but the technical requirements are very high. If a novice wants to shoot down such a big guy, there is still a certain risk." Moulders replied Tao.
"If we are equipped with this kind of bomber, then we have to find an **** fighter that can fly with her, with a full 4,000-kilometer range. My God, our BF109 obviously can't **** the whole journey."
"It may be possible to dive and attack from the zenith. Her top is not equipped with defensive firepower."
"This is just a prototype, do you see the rear wing in the middle? This thing will be removed, and a turret will be added to the back, just like Blenheim." The head of state said to Lancaster. What the future looks like is very clear.
"My head, what about the bottom, we can launch an attack."
"This is a test of the pilot's skills. To avoid the tail turret, timing is very important. Those are four machine guns."
"Well, this is a problem, let me think about it."
"If dozens or even hundreds of such aircraft are dispatched together~IndoMTL.com~ form a large three-dimensional formation, forming a fire defense network with each other."
"Facts have proved that without the cooperation of **** fighters, no amount of self-defense firepower will be enough." Several air force officers began to discuss enthusiastically.
But the good times didn't last long. I didn't know what was going on while chatting, and the topic suddenly switched to flying.
"My head of state, I never thought that you are also an excellent fighter pilot, especially the afternoon landing, it is perfect." Garland admired the compliment.
"I just wanted to try the latest model of 109. It is really very..." Xu Jun stopped here and saw Weierle's eyes The lens flashed coldly.
"Smoothly." Xu Jun's mouth twitched as he finished speaking, a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Look for a monthly pass. It’s the weekend. Everyone support a chapter monthly pass. At this time, I’m working **** codewords. (To be continued.)
