532 There are rivers and lakes everywhere

Learwin felt that the generals of the Allied Air Force had a problem with their brains, and they were simply a group of single-celled animals. Isn’t it just that the airports around Berlin were blocked, what’s the big deal? Is it necessary to compete for air supremacy in the area near Berlin? Can’t the plane take off from the airport behind and fly to the battle near Berlin?

What a simple truth. It’s not bright in the east or the west. In any case, Germany has more than Berlin and airports, Leipzig to the south, Dresden to the north, Kiel, Hamburg, Bremen to the east, and Hanover to the east. Why hang yourself on a tree?

Does the Allied Air Force understand this? They must understand it. The reason why they are obsessed with Berlin's airport is that Berlin is close to Warsaw. Take off from Berlin and can fly to Warsaw to fight and cover the traffic line from Berlin to Warsaw. Take off from Hamburg or Leipzig and cannot take full care of Warsaw.

Of course, this reason is not the most important. More importantly, the generals of the Allied Air Force have some thoughts. The world war has basically been over. If nothing unexpected happens, whether it is successful or unsuccessful, it will be a happy time for at least ten years.

Perhaps for the people of all countries, this kind of peaceful life is beautiful. But for soldiers, such a future is difficult to guarantee. Disarmament is probably the main theme in the next one or two years. For the Air Force, which just made its mark in World War I, they lack the navy, the army's accumulated foundation for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and did not show the merits that shocked the world in World War I. In other words, in the future, the Air Force's future is very bad!

It should be said that these Air Force generals are not wrong. After the end of World War I, all new weapons were forgotten in an instant. Aircraft and tanks were thrown into the warehouse and rusted. The aviation industry was in a downturn in the 1920s. A lot of famous aircraft manufacturers later had to open side businesses, such as Boeing, who relied on selling furniture and raising dairy cows.

So what is the connection between these and the generals of the Allied Air Force? It has a lot of connection! The reason why the future of the Air Force is underestimated is that it has not played a decisive role in World War I and has no strong record. If you want to keep the Air Force and want to get a share of the limited military expenditure in peacetime, you must find a way to attract attention, and it is best that the whole world sees the outstanding role of the Air Force.

I have to say that this is difficult. Because it is a new thing, how to use the Air Force is a process of exploring the whole world by feeling the stones. Anyway, the exploration of the Allied Air Force generals in this field was not smooth. For example, Du Hei later remembered his book "Air Supremacy", but who would have thought that his situation was not good at all when he wrote this book?

Since 1915, Du Hei has been constantly reporting to his superiors, demanding the correct use of the air force, especially the role of bombers. However, his suggestions cannot be understood and supported. In anger, Du Hei, who was humble and polite, wrote a very sharp report to the authorities, scolding the top leaders of the Italian military.

Well, Du Hei was stabbed in a hornet's nest. Under the revenge of the authorities, he was charged with leaking military intelligence and sentenced to one year in prison. "Air Supremacy" was written by Du Hei in high walls and iron windows. Du Hei was not released until 1917 when the Italian Air Force began to bomb the depths of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and achieved certain results.

Don't think that this is the end of the Great Perfection. Du Hei, who was released from prison and restored his reputation, soon realized the strength of the conservative forces and had to be forced to retire. It was not until 1921 that his "Air Supremacy" was published and released with the support of the Army Commander-in-Chief Dias and the Army and the Navy Department.

It can be said that no matter which country's air force was almost living in the cracks, the army and the navy did not want a disgusting little brother to share their military expenditures, and they all tried to suppress the air force at the same time.

For example, the US Air Force, which was very powerful in World War II, was always called the Army Air Force, and even before 1941. It can only be regarded as a branch of the Army, with a status of similar armored soldiers and artillery. It was not until 1947 that the Air Force won the portal.

It can be imagined that in 1919, when the aircraft equipment was still quite primitive, there would not be many people optimistic about the future of the Air Force. The new Air Force must work hard for its own survival!

So what is the efforts of the Allied Air Force? They have tried to use normal means to fight for themselves, but no matter how hard they try to fight, they are inequality in the Navy, especially the Army Big Brother, and are negligible. Even most Army Big Brothers think that they can fight without the Air Force, and whether there are aircraft or not!

This made the Allied Air Force generals quite annoyed, but they could not prove their importance. Until Li Xiaofeng and Sukhoi made the Allied Navy look dirty, they first attacked Kiel and beat the Allied Navy in a mess, and then used incredible tactics to make the army elder brother dying. While these methods made the Allied Air Force generals lit up their eyes, they also thought of it - this is a good opportunity to prove the Air Force!

The greater the results the Russian air force has achieved, the more trouble it causes to the army and the navy. Isn’t it indirectly proving the significance of the existence of the air force? If they can make the army and the navy suffer a great loss and let these two grandsons beg their air force for help, it would be very satisfying!

Anyway, the Air Force generals of the Allied Powers reached a consensus in private, to let the Russians perform first, the more eye-catching the better, and the more the army and navy cannot come to Taiwan, the better. Finally, we will be the saviors like a magic weapon, so can we lay the significance of the existence of the Air Force in one fell swoop?

Based on this idea, the Allied Air Force naturally had to be waterproof. There was a way to turn the situation around, but they just didn't need it. They even deliberately ordered their pilots to work but not work, leaving the army and the navy there to slap the face and make jokes.

I have to say that this method is very effective. I didn’t see that Foch, the commander-in-chief, was almost tortured. To be honest, when the Allied Air Force generals saw the scene of the old man going crazy, they were so happy that they were almost bubbled. And they couldn’t really have fun, it was really uncomfortable!

However, the grandson's happiness did not last long, and soon their little thoughts were exposed by the outsider Li Erwin. Foch immediately came back to his senses. The old man quickly understood what the Air Force was planning. To be honest, the old man was quite angry!

Foch is also an old-fashioned person. As an army general, it is difficult for him to have any good feelings for the Air Force. He even thinks that this world war was his army brothers who fought hard to withstand the German offensive. As for the Air Force, the group of flies who only know how to fly in the air understand what war is? How much force did they put into the war?

In the old man's opinion, the Air Force is completely an auxiliary force, and it is enough to do a good job of reconnaissance and harassment. Wars depend on the army! So he was very annoyed about the tricks played by the Air Force generals, believing that this group of people were despicable stealing honors belonging to the Army.

Foch was not polite at all to the thief. So he issued a death order to the Air Force as soon as possible, and must regain air supremacy within the prescribed time. It is necessary to ensure smooth traffic on the Berlin-Warsaw line. Otherwise, hehe, otherwise the old man would not mind letting the Air Force go without a fight.

The Air Force generals of the Allied Power were stunned. The diorama was exposed. It is conceivable how the army and naval generals who have come back to the ground would deal with them. Anyway, they hated Lierwen, who had ruined good things.

The question is whether Li Erwin cares about this little hatred? For the female spy who lost to a certain immortal again, the most important thing in his life is to find a way to ruin the good things of a certain immortal. Only as long as it can make someone unhappy, she will be comfortable. What are the birdmen who offended the Air Force? Didn’t you see that the big bosses of the Army and the Navy are very grateful to her? Compared with the Army and the Navy, the Air Force really does not have much power in the political arena. There is no need to be afraid at all!

Li Erwin must have been too happy too early. The historical trend is that flying things will take charge. In the future, the Air Force will be the well-deserved boss of the three armies. To measure whether a country's army has combat effectiveness and whether it is modern enough, you must look at the Air Force! Without air supremacy, there is nothing!

Fortunately, this was still in 1919, an era when the Air Force was relatively cowardly. Under Foch's forced order, the Air Force generals could only reluctantly show some real skills.

So what does it mean to show off some real skills? That is to say, if you have all your strength, you can only use half or even one-third or one-quarter. Because the air force generals of the Allied countries know very well that the Russian Air Force is no match for them compared to them. They can drown the Russians by just using the "sea of ​​people" tactics.

After a difficult discussion, the air force generals of the Allied countries reached an agreement - they had to let go of water. How to let go of water? The group of people had an idea. They said openly: "The way to counterattack the provocation of the Russian Air Force is to use the same way as others. We also set up mines to block them!"

Soon the Allied Arsenal received a strange order - a large number of small cloth pockets, iron filings, and glass slags. After a rush to work, the Allied copycat version of the cloth bag thunder appeared.

On a clear afternoon, a large number of Allied bombers took off from Hamburg Airport under the cover of fighters, flew along the coastline to the sky above Szczechin, and then fought a small-scale battle with Sukhoi's fighter pilots, and threw down the puppet mine and left.

There were many planes in the Allies, so naturally the effect of blasting this time was very amazing. The surrounding areas of Szczechin were full of pouch mines. Anyway, Foch, who had learned the news, was very satisfied. In the old man's opinion, all the problems were solved and the Russian Air Force was finished.

Is this true? I can only say that Foch was too happy too early. Li Xiaofeng was not 25 years old. From the beginning, he knew very well that playing aerial mine laying is a double-edged sword. The Allies could follow suit and use the method of air mine laying to fight back.

So when I decided to use baggage thunder and butterfly thunder, a certain immortal was ready to deal with it. For example, after harvesting the grain from East Prussia and Szczechin, when the Allies were mined, most of the grain had been loaded into the warehouse. Throwing the mines into the fields would not cause much damage, and it would also be easy to clear mines.

Of course, the most important thing is to clear mines. After all, it is troublesome to throw those baggage mines on the airport runway. The speed of using manpower is slow, low efficiency and high risk. The Allies Group has a pit in their minds and will let the engineers take on this job. Anyway, a certain immortal would not do this.

Li Xiaofeng's solution is quite simple. A heavy roller can be done. Anyway, the amount of medicine in the cloth bag mine is very small, so it cannot blow up the big roller of the roller at all. It can be done in minutes after crushing it all the way. Anyway, the Allies hope to block the airport with the cloth bag mine. It is impossible.

In fact, when he saw the Allies use this trick, Li Xiaofeng still found it funny. He thought that the Allies were too lazy and even the copycat was not completely copied. At least he would use it with timed bombs when blocking the airport with a cloth bag mine.

But this is really not because the Allies are not completely copying or lazy. Doesn’t the Allies’ air force know to use a roller or bulldozer? Do they don’t know how to use a time bomb? I know, but they can’t do this. If they do this, they think the Russians can’t stand it. The Russians are finished playing. How can they show the important position of the Air Force? To put it bluntly, this is to release water secretly, and to destroy the Taiwans of the Army and Navy.

So a week later, Foch got angry again. He asked the Air Force why the Air Force had not completed its mission and why it allowed the Russians to rage in the air. In response, the Air Force answered: "The young men have tried their best, but our existing aircraft and weapons have no advantage at all when facing the Russians. Objectively speaking, we are suppressed. To reverse this passive situation, we must develop new fighter jets and more advanced aviation bombs as soon as possible!"

To put it bluntly, this is money. Now that the world war has come to an end, disarmament is the mainstream, and a large number of wartime orders have been lifted. A large number of advanced weapons are ruthlessly hung on the drawing board, and even more than half of the completed warships have been announced to be suspended indefinitely. At this time, not to mention the development of new fighter jets, maintaining the scale of the wartime air force and orders is an extremely luxurious act.

Of course Foch would not agree. He could not fulfill his promise, but the Air Force was also a bachelor, and he pushed the blame cleanly. He said that the Russians' fighter jets and weapons were more advanced. Our young men were fighting for their lives, and we had already tried our best!

Have you really tried your best? You definitely tried your best to make trouble. However, when a military branch is brought together to make trouble for the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief will be helpless. To be honest, the commander-in-chief's position never requires military capabilities, and this position does not require too much military talent. Because having military talent alone does not necessarily mean that you can do it well. To be a good commander-in-chief of this coalition requires considerable coordination and political ability. To put it bluntly, this position is more about organizing and coordinating conflicts among various countries. What is needed is a mediator.

For example, Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allies in World War II in Europe, is this guy really strong in fighting? To be honest, he played a role in the Allies on the European battlefield rather than being a soldier, and organization and coordination are his strengths.

Moreover, from the fact that this brother Taiwan was able to become the president of the United States later, this is indeed confirmed. Eisenhower is indeed more like a politician. So is Foch like a soldier or a politician? He prefers the latter because anyone who only cares about military affairs and politics cannot be the commander-in-chief. For example, the slow Xiafei, his military talents are really not enough.

Therefore, when facing the military's resistance, Foch also had to think more seriously. Even though he knew that the other party was doing tricks, he could only endure more and could only mediate the conflict rather than intensify the conflict.

The result of mediation is that there is no result. The Air Force definitely hopes to gain something through this. Obviously, Foch cannot give them the result they want, so he naturally can only hold on. In the end, whoever can't hold on first will lose.

For a while, Foch could still hold on. After all, the air force in this day is not as strong as later generations. At this time, the army can fight whether it has air supremacy or not. Although it is more depressed and unhappy in fighting, it is not impossible to persevere.

In this painful and entangled situation, another military branch could not stay idle anymore, and anyone could see how the Air Force distributed military cakes and voice after the war. If the Air Force got what it wanted, then the other military branch would naturally have to be less. No one would want to lose their cakes, right?

So soon the Royal Navy stood up and they promised to deal with the annoying Russian flies.

"We will directly take Szczechin and solve all problems in one go through an amphibious landing operation!"

It should be said that the Royal Navy's proposal is also a copycat. Li Xiaofeng captured Szechecin before and made an amphibious landing. This time the British were also preparing to copy it directly. However, there was no dissatisfaction: "Russia was unexpectedly able to succeed. They occupied Szechecin with amphibious landings. Wouldn't they strengthen their maritime defense?"

Betty's answer to this was: "With the strength of the Royal Navy and the US Navy, it is enough to destroy the Russians' resistance head-on. Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the Russians will be blown into powder!"

However, the Navy's plan was opposed by the Army. In the eyes of the Army, especially Foch, the Navy was preparing to seize credit. It did not require any amphibious landings, nor was it cross-sea combat. Why bother so much? If we can accelerate the increase in troops in Berlin and crush them directly from the land?

The army and the navy were quarreling because both sides knew that who could solve the Russians in Szczechine and who would take the initiative in the battle. If they were to promote it in public opinion, it would not attract attention!

Especially the Navy, who had been taught a miserable lesson in Kiel before and had always wanted to get back the scene. Now it happened to kill two birds with one stone. How could it give up?

After two days of argument, neither the army nor the navy of the Allies could convince each other, and in the end they could only win. How could they win? That is, the navy and army will join together, and whoever wins will be determined... (To be continued)
