Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 301: Leading team (below)
The dinner preparation was very rich. The French chefs at the Air Force Base exhausted their thoughts and made a lot of delicious dishes using locally sourced ingredients, which made the German pilots all smiles.
After dinner, the pilots scattered and moved freely. There were large farmland near the base, and there was no entertainment in rural villages. So the German pilots changed into civilian clothes, led by an enthusiastic French officer, and took two transport trucks from the base to find fun in Tokyo, 30 kilometers away.
French people are known to enjoy life. There are bars and nightclubs in Tokyo dedicated to French expatriates. Of course, they also receive some upper-class people and military and political personnel in Annan. Wine, food, women, where you can buy almost everything you want as long as you have money, even if you can't find what you want, the wild French boss will help you find it within a few days.
Major Speru’s attitude towards this part of the issue is quite open. She is also a pilot. Of course, she knows how much pressure these subordinates have. Although Major Speru has not studied the psychology of war, she knows that she is in In this unfamiliar environment, proper enjoyment and venting are very important to maintain the morale of the pilots.
After sending away the happy subordinates, Speru and two army officers returned to the command room of the base to calculate and discuss the flight plan. She shoulders the responsibility of the entire brigade, and cannot tolerate half slack. Especially this time the action plan has attracted the attention of the German head of state. Of course, its importance is self-evident. She does not want to affect the plan due to the mistakes of the task force. process.
"The total length of the route is 1,050 kilometers, which is far beyond the maximum range of Fokker Wolf." Sporu took the map rangefinder and measured the route data.
"We are laymen in flying, but I believe you must have a way." Captain Yang said with a smile.
"Of course, our fighter jet can carry an additional 300-liter auxiliary fuel tank, which is enough to support the aircraft to complete the entire range." Speru put the rangefinder into a wooden box on the side. Then he picked up the coffee cup on the table.
"From my personal point of view, this operation is indeed a bit risky. In the past, we would conduct a few trials first. Let the pilots familiarize themselves with the route. Once you fly over the turnaround point at such a long distance. If there is a problem, we can’t do it even if we want to return. Looking at the terrain on this route, most of the voyage is over the mountainous and hilly areas, the ground signs are not clear, and the weather conditions are more complicated than the plains. We need more and more Meticulous intelligence support, detailed and accurate aerial maps, and meteorological information along the way. Can China provide this information?" Speru held his cup gracefully and sipped sweet coffee.
"Now we will propose a delay action. Time is too late. The Chinese side replied that they are ready to respond. Tomorrow we should be able to get weather forecast and navigation radio data, but don’t be too big about China. Hope that they can’t even get an accurate aerial map. Now the one on the table was surveyed and drawn by the French five years ago. It is said that the Japanese have a more accurate map, but you also know the action. Nature, it is absolutely not allowed to let the Japanese know." Captain Yang stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, frowning and replied.
"The map provided by China is too simple, and the data is full of errors. We still rely on the German agency in Chongqing to obtain a more detailed map of the city and surrounding areas from the Americans." Lieutenant Dracula Sitting by the window sill, with a poker face and a cool face.
"I don't know if I can ask, what is your real mission this time. It won't be as written in the order, just to get there in advance to prepare board and lodging for the special mission." Major Speru put down his coffee cup , Zhuo looked at the two armies in front of him with interest.
"Our mission is suspected of being a state secret. I am very sorry for not being able to tell you the truth." Captain Yang put away his smile, and replied with a serious expression.
"Okay, okay, just assume I haven't mentioned it." Speru smiled and raised his hand to surrender.
"By the way, I have always wondered why I would like to mobilize people like this. The task force is equipped with the latest German aircraft. Is it necessary to show them to other countries' troops so early?" Sporu asked. Erlang legs. Fingers flicked the sideburns of short hair.
"This is a political need. We need to declare to the outside world the strong strength of Germany. Not only can it give our allies greater confidence, but it can also deter potential enemies." Captain Yang's face renewed. Gave a gentle smile.
"I have never been to China. I just met a few Chinese students when I was studying. To be honest, I have a good impression of them. They study very hard and their brains are very smart, but sometimes they don’t perform well. Hequn. Have you two been to China? Can you tell me what is going on there and what special preparations I need to do?" Speru asked curiously.
"I haven't been to China myself, but Captain Yang may be able to answer your question. He can speak fluent Chinese." Dracula replied.
"Really? This surprised me too much. It is said that it is a very difficult language to master." Sporu deliberately looked at the army captain with an exaggerated expression of surprise.
"It is the influence of the family. My grandfather has always been fascinated by the civilization and history of the East, and has been doing research in this area all his life. Because the main focus is on Chinese culture, they called him right, Sinologist. I have received this language training since I was a child, and I can recite ancient Chinese poems in Chinese at the age of five. After being taught by my grandfather, I have always had a great interest in this ancient country in the East. As a result, I suddenly needed a familiarity with the staff. When the Chinese translator joined the special mission, I became the only person on the scene. So you see, I am here now." Captain Yang replied with a smile.
"Tell me about China. I only know that for a long time, we have a close relationship with them. The father of a friend of mine participated in the German military advisory group. He also participated in the Chinese military in Shanghai. Japanese combat." Shi Boru sat upright, looking forward to the answer from the other party.
"How to put it, you should know, Major. Germany’s foreign policy towards China has always been neutral, involving purely commercial interests and not involving other political issues. For Japan, we once also had The same attitude, but when the two are compared, Germany's interests in China clearly exceed the income in Japan, so for a while our policy was actually biased towards China." Captain Yang answered seriously.
"At that time, we had a very large-scale business relationship with China, and once occupied 12% of China’s import market. This index was already very high. Germany was in the list of China’s foreign trade countries at that time. Ranked third." Dracula also took the opportunity to show off his knowledge, trying to prove that he is not only a strong body, but also a intellectual and intellectual.
"But with the changes in the international situation, our former head of state Hitler's attitude towards China has changed. The main reason is that Japan. Hitler believes that a strong diplomatic ally is more important than a commercial ally. Germany can also obtain the resources and benefits that China obtains from neighboring countries. Germany was in diplomatic isolation at the time. Britain and France united with other European countries to build an invisible net of encirclement for Germany in the international arena, and Japan’s proximity , Hitler saw the opportunity to tear up this encirclement. Our two countries signed an anti-communist agreement and almost formed a military alliance. Fortunately, the final agreement was not signed in the future, and Hitler died because of an accident."
Captain Yang took a sip of coffee, and then continued: "We did not abandon China, but gradually alienated the relationship between the two sides. Our trade activities have not been cut off, but the scale is much smaller than in the early days. It has become the basis for us to renew the relationship between the two sides. There is no substantial confrontation between Germany and China. There are only some small differences. I believe the Chinese government should know how to treat this issue."
"We still have an investment of 400 million marks in China. If we can reach a deal with China this time, we may continue to expand." Dracula interjected.
"I rarely cared about this aspect before~IndoMTL.com~I heard a lot of what you said. This is the first time I heard. Can you tell me more about this country?" Sporu talked. Showed a strong interest in the current topic.
"It is difficult for me to give you a standard answer. After all, I have never been to China. However, I have been exposed to many related reports before. What makes me strange is that the contents of these reports are often contradictory. Some reports say that China is prosperous and wealthy with advanced culture, while others say that China’s poor and backward officials, corrupt, and people are numb and ignorant. The authors of the report have different perspectives, so they draw different conclusions. So I think I should use my own eyes. You can come to an objective conclusion after seeing, hearing with your ears, and having personal contact with the local people and culture. Major Speru, after arriving in China, I think you will definitely get the answer you want." Captain Yang smiled The answer came.
"Captain Yang, you successfully aroused my curiosity. I can't wait to go there and see it with my own eyes." Sporu stood up and walked to the map table. "Now let's deduce the process again, the action date has been set on September 21, and we will take off at 7 o'clock in the morning"
The results were bleak and worse than last month. The monthly ticket fell to one hundred and thirteen, which is close to two hundred votes away from the previous one. This is the result that I insist on updating every day, and I am really disappointed. (To be continued.)
