"In less than an hour, we have lost nearly 180,000 tons of merchant ships, their cargo, and fuel that is vital to the Mediterranean fleet. Don't you have anything to explain? Don't you think this is

Is it a shame for the empire? It actually takes us so long to defeat Italy! Since the war started, the air force's bombing has been going on for more than a month! Can't we end it as soon as possible?" William II was angry.

The roar echoed in the hall.

Compared with the history of another time and space, it seems that the efficiency of the Germans is much lower. How long did it take for Germany to wipe out Poland and turn around to destroy France? But now in this dimension, Germany is more powerful, and there is also the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

With the help of the help, why is it so difficult to defeat Italy? The reason is very simple. Historically, Germany did its best against Poland and France, and this plane

Due to geographical limitations, it is not appropriate for Germany and Austria to deploy their powerful armies. More importantly, Germany and Austria still have concerns about using the army on a large scale to launch a ground war against Italy. At least the increased deployment of troops by the French on the new defense line still makes it difficult to deploy them.

Germany was somewhat worried, and the assistance from the United Kingdom and the United States also made Germany feel that launching a large-scale ground war might provoke a new world war.

Therefore, due to various reasons, Germany and Austria never considered sending a large force to Italy from the north across the mountains into Italy. Instead, they considered controlling air supremacy over the Adriatic Sea and then conducting landing operations. Then there was a month-long aviation battle.

Countless planes have been dropped, but it has been difficult to make key breakthroughs! And now, the missing air wing has appeared in East Africa. And in one encounter, an entire transport fleet has been sent to the bottom of the sea. This has made the original

William II, who was a little dissatisfied with the situation, broke out directly!

To be honest, the Luftwaffe played pretty well. In the case of away battles, the Luftwaffe only suffered a little loss. Don’t forget, the opponent also had anti-aircraft guns. In addition, they fell off due to fuel and malfunction problems when returning home.

Some aircraft actually have some advantages over the Germans in pure air combat exchanges. But the key is that the Allied pilots rushed back to the base after parachuting.

Just change another plane. And after the German pilots parachuted, if they were not beaten to death by the angry Italians with bricks, they would be sent to prison. Therefore, with the loss of a large number of experienced pilots in the Imperial Air Force, the situation was deteriorating.

.Although the newcomers from China continue to make up for the losses, it may be a little incapable of directly defeating the opponent!

"I am willing to take full responsibility for the losses caused by this incident. For this reason, our Air Force has specially formulated a compensation plan. We decided to immediately dispatch an aviation team to Jizan and Socotra on the Red Sea coast. Try to make up for it in the future.

Establish a convoy system covering the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in a short period of time." Richthofen had just finished speaking, but before he could finish, he was rudely interrupted by William again.

"What I need is to completely solve all problems. What is complete? That is to destroy all the opponent's planes one by one. This is not just East Africa, but also Italy! We have delayed it for too long, Imperial Airlines

Is the fleet not enough? It doesn’t matter, we can also mobilize the Frederick the Great Air Force and the Condor Air Force. Don’t you always want to prove that the fleet is full?

Can a large-type bomber make the opponent surrender? Well, I will give you this opportunity. Just go for it! You have one month to prepare and implement, and you can mobilize all other aviation forces except those on alert. Including new formations

The DO11 heavy bomber wing can also be organized into a battle order, anyway, I just want the results." William II said impatiently.

After receiving the order to open all firepower, Richthofen suddenly felt a blessing in disguise. In this conflict, the Luftwaffe was also relatively restrained. It seemed that the Imperial Air Force's thousand aircraft were relatively large, but for Germany

The Air Force is just a relatively large and comprehensive aviation force. Considering that the Italian Air Force itself has some financial resources, and China and the Allies have continued to provide assistance to Italy, it can only rely on an aviation force and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

It’s already great that the Air Force can become what it is now.

"My brigade and I spent a week to cripple the U.S. Air Force at Ravena Airport and clear the way for the brothers behind, but who knew that only a week later! Ravena's airport was repaired

, and then a British air force group took over the Americans who suffered heavy losses and fought with us again!

If you cannot concentrate enough superior forces to defeat your opponent, then the war can only become a fueling tactic!" In the report, a captain commented on the situation of the fighting between the two sides. Before that, Richthofen was unable to help.

, because at the beginning, the Kaiser only approved one aviation force to enter the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

But now the situation is different. The power in Richthofen's hands has been directly expanded several times. As long as Austria-Hungary can agree, then two brand-new aviation armies can be stationed. The Frederick the Great Air Force is an establishment

A medium-sized aviation force with 800 aircraft,

The Crown Prince's Air Force is another thousand-aircraft aviation force, and can mobilize independent heavy bomber wings to participate in the war. Even considering that these forces cannot be deployed at once, in a short period of time, Richthofen still has the aviation force in his hands.

Can more than double!

And that’s not all yet! In order to obtain a good base for advancing, the Allies also considered Egypt. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. Facing Austria-Hungary and Germany in the north and the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the east,

The Egyptian government had almost no room for bargaining and could only accept the other party's request and allow the Allies to

Planes use Egyptian airspace and some airports. Moreover, these airports requisitioned by the Allies can also station German troops to ensure the security of the airports. Although the requisition and deployment of these airports will take some time, it is obvious that if these airports can be used

, then the Allies can have another attack surface!

The power in his hands increased, so the next problem was to attack the target. After the Kaiser hinted that the Italians needed to be taught a profound lesson, Richthofen finally decided to further relax the type and number of targets. At the beginning

Due to lack of strength and scruples, the targets of the German and Austrian air force attacks were mainly

Various facilities and fleets of the Italian Navy, as well as bases and airports controlled by Allied reinforcements. Bases and troops controlled by the neutral Italian army are not listed as targets. Of course, if someone occasionally flies in the wrong direction and drops a bomb

It is possible to throw it down, but Germany originally intended to limit the range of the attack.

Such a strike obviously cannot completely solve the problem, but this time it is different. The already furious Germans decided to rapidly expand the scope of the strike to all airports and military facilities. Regarding this decision, the Kaiser said this: "We

We must make those wallflowers realize that if they don’t become our friends, then

They are our enemies! There is no third way, and everything you think is in the way can be destroyed!" Not only military targets, the target of attack also expanded to civilian ports and transportation hubs, because the Germans discovered that these civilian transportation facilities were also being destroyed.

Used by the Italian Navy and the Allied Powers to transport supplies and personnel.

"Bologna can also be listed as a target. This is the center of the Allied Forces in the Northern Combat. It has a large amount of supplies and many combat troops. There is also Florence, a fleet that transferred here from Corsica.

We use this as a springboard to travel to various parts of Italy." At a subsequent meeting, the Kaiser pointed to the two cities on the map and said.

"The airports and material distribution centers have been listed as targets of attack. My Majesty." Richthofen said with some confusion.

"I mean these two cities are targets, not parts of the city! Ribbentrop once said that the people here are more inclined to the Italian Navy and are somewhat resistant to our allies. Their actions are of great help.

If we defeat the Allied Powers, we must let them be punished. Do you understand? Basically destroy these two important support points for me! I hope you can solve this problem at the next meeting." The Kaiser said seriously.

Although the words were very calm, they contained an irresistible command.

"This will be a very bad start." After the meeting, when he thought of William II's order today, Richthofen felt a chill coming from his back! As the boss of the German Air Force, he knew very well what he had in his hands.

How terrifying is this power? "A do11 (this do11 is not the historical do11, just borrow a number here)

.) A 4-shot bomber is calculated based on a bomb load of 2.5 tons, so if three wings of DO11 bombers are concentrated to launch an attack on a city, they can drop at least about 700 tons of bombs at a time!" This bombing intensity is similar to that of the First World War that year.

It is absolutely impossible to say the same thing! And this attack will inevitably involve some civilian facilities.

"Tell the commanders below to drop bombs into the target area as much as possible." Richthofen was helpless with the Kaiser's order. He was very dissatisfied with this kind of attack on civilian targets. But he could do nothing.

This is the only limit. Of course, he has no control over what the bomber wings below do. He just leaves everything to fate! "I hope God can forgive us."

In this way, a super-large-scale attack that exceeded the expectations of China and the Allied Powers was about to begin! In order to ensure the concealment of this operation, Germany deliberately did not use some airports on the frontier, but used the Austria-Hungary Empire and Germany's mainland airports.

Some deep airports, anyway, 4-engine bombers and long-range twin-engine bombers

The range of the bombing aircraft was sufficient, and the cover mission was handed over to the front-line fighters. The Germans prepared so covertly that when the attack came, neither the Italians nor the Allies expected that the German Air Force, which was actually exerting its force, would be so terrifying!
