Imperial Overlord

Does Li Lezhi know about the loss of the Air Force? Of course Li Le knew. . The fastest update did not count in the various Air Force command meetings that Goering had complained to him before. Right now, Goering was talking to Li Le about the loss of the Air Force.

"We have lost almost 700 planes in the UK. A large number of excellent pilots have become prisoners of the British, or become coffins one after another." Goering looked at Li Le and said with some distress.

The Air Force is like his child, and every loss of the Air Force will make him feel a pain in the flesh. What's more, this time the loss is indeed a bit too huge.

The air raids that began on August 1, went through different stages, and were considered to be in line with the different stages of the Luftwaffe's attack on Britain.

The beginning of the British air battle, that is, the ten days from August 1st to August 10th. During this period of time, the Luftwaffe achieved a huge advantage by surprise.

In these ten days, the Luftwaffe destroyed the radar station of the British Air Force in one breath, blew up a large number of hidden important factories, and severely damaged the southeastern industrial base of the United Kingdom.

Subsequently, from August 11 to August 25, the Luftwaffe began to bomb repeatedly to consolidate its operational success. During this period, it was suspended for some time due to weather conditions, but on the whole, the Luftwaffe still had a huge advantage.

Then, the British Air Force was forced to start the London air battle under unfavorable circumstances, and the time came around September 5, during which time the losses of the German and British Air Forces began to rise.

The Luftwaffe then took advantage of the leaked data from British fighter jets and began to gain air combat superiority, eventually overpowering the RAF.

In the next phase, the RAF began to passively avoid the war, and more and more Luftwaffe lost to the British anti-aircraft artillery, until now.

Although the battle situation has repeated, the Luftwaffe has always occupied the initiative and advantage, but with the increasing ground air defense firepower, this advantage is constantly shrinking.

"Because other links are not ready, we can only let the Air Force stick to this method of combat." Li Le said helplessly, looking at Goering and Marshal Kesselring who had rushed back from the front.

"My head of state, the loss is getting bigger and bigger, which makes the spirit of the Air Force pilots start to fluctuate. This is not good news..." Kesselring just returned from the front line and has more say in this regard.

"I also know that the air force is under a lot of pressure when it comes to air raids on the UK. I don't plan to let the air force go on like this for a long time..." Li Le was also very depressed when he heard the loss of the air force.

Before he was on paper, or playing games in another world, he wasn't sensitive to those losses and sacrifices.

But when these losses are really placed in front of me, and they are constantly emphasized and mentioned, the feeling is different.

He also gradually understood what more than 600 aircraft meant to the Luftwaffe, and what a loss to the Luftwaffe with 1,000 pilots of all kinds.

It can be said that all the battles from Poland to France, the pacification of Norway's occupation of Denmark, and the sweeping of Europe, combined, the German pilots probably lost this number...

In this case, a single air battle in Britain doubled the number of aircraft and pilots the Germans lost, and this huge loss was simply unbearable.

"My Führer, you have always been very knowledgeable about air combat, as you can tell from your understanding of radar and aircraft performance." Kesselring thought for a while before persuading him.

He glanced at the head of state in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "So, I think you can understand what such a huge loss means to the Luftwaffe."

In order to persuade the Fuhrer to temporarily stop the large-scale bombing of Britain, Kesselring played the emotional card while exaggerating the loss of the air force.

Although the Luftwaffe has lost more than 1,000 pilots (and captured), the number of novice pilots added to the front line by the Germans is far greater than this number.

Through the unremitting efforts of Goering and the strong support of Li Le, the Luftwaffe is planning to train 30,000 pilots, which is far more than the loss.

At the same time, the German factory, which accelerated production, provided the Luftwaffe with 950 fighter jets of various types during this time.

This number includes a variety of models, the most supplemented include the me-109e fighter, and the new -190 fighter.

Therefore, even after the brutal British air battle, in addition to the outdated and backward do-17 and he-111 bombers, the number of other German aircraft types increased slightly than before!

Since the do-17 bomber had been discontinued, the losses were completely replaced by the more advanced ju-88 bomber.

And the he-111 bomber, which has the largest number of Germans, has also been continuously reduced in the battle to bomb Britain, and it is also replaced by the more comprehensive and better ju-88 bomber.

In other words, in fact, the strength of the Luftwaffe is growing at a high speed. While the number of fighter jets has increased, it also has more than twice as many mature pilots than the same period in another time and space.

Although it seems that the existing combat capabilities of the Luftwaffe have not been enhanced much, in the subsequent expansion, the Air Force can arbitrarily increase the number of aircraft without restrictions. This is the real improvement!

But in order to play the emotional card, Kesselring avoided the heaviest and took it lightly: "Hundreds of planes were lost, and many people were not able to return... In this case, the pilot's morale declined very much..."

"Persevere! For the victory of the empire! We must persevere!" Li Le looked at Kesselin and said word by word.

He frowned, walked in front of Goering, reached out and patted Goering on the shoulder, then looked at Kesselring: "The Air Force, the troops I trust, the loyal troops! You must fight! You must persevere!"

"My head of state, if we have your order, we will stick to it..." Goering raised his chin and promised.

He was one of the first people to follow Hitler, and a pilot who understood the construction of the Air Force, but now he is the commander of the Air Force.

In Goering's view, the main reason why the Air Force can flourish in his hands is because the Air Force, as a newly established branch of the military, has absolute loyalty to the Führer.

This is an advantage that the Army cannot match in any way, and he cannot lose it. The Air Force is dynamic and aggressive enough compared to the traditional and rule-based oldies of the Army.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Le carried out the meaning of loyalty and trust, Goering could only stand up obliged.

Of course, come forward and come forward, but how to come forward, Goering is still measured.

So, the commander of the Luftwaffe opened his mouth and suggested to Li Le: "My head of state, it is precisely because of the loyalty of the Air Force that we cannot let these excellent and precious pilots die in vain."

He said to Li Le in a persuasive manner: "In this case, according to our past experience, adopting new technologies and using the latest science and technology to gain advantages will make the situation in our favor..."

"Technology?" Compared with strategy, Li Le, who has strengthened technology, actually understands technology better, so when Goering mentioned technology, Li Le also became interested.

Li Le didn't know what kind of sky-defying technology Goering had in his hands. Maybe it was an updated engine, maybe it was a new aircraft design technology. Li Le welcomed them all.

"My head of state, the technical department of the Air Force is developing a new weapon in Peenemünde. Because of the low capital investment and the lack of urgent needs, the progress is not fast." Goering mentioned the secret weapon, and his eyes were bright. Shine up.

He babbled endlessly at Li Le, and the look in Li Le's expectant eyes had completely disappeared. He probably guessed what Goering's so-called new weapon was.

Goering didn't seem to see Li Le's disappointment, and continued to promote his new weapons: "My head of state, if you support this project, we can launch attacks on the British without using planes!"

Yes, the secret weapon that Goering said is the v1 and v2 missiles that are still in the development stage. Although they are early missiles, they are a kind of missiles after all...

It sounds like a very high-profile name. At least today, missiles have become the first choice for countries to demonstrate their force and attack other countries.

But in 1940~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this thing was indeed a new technology, and the technology was so new that reliability could not be guaranteed, and the hit accuracy was infinitely close to zero.

Although technology is good technology, ideas are also good ideas. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, this kind of weapon is destined to become the most glorious pages among the doomsday weapons of the Third Reich...

In later generations, many people who admire German doomsday technology will be very happy to know these secret weapons: missiles are played by the Germans first! Jets were played by the Germans first! Vertical take-off and landing aircraft too, modern submarines are also their first...

But these people don't know that many such "black technologies" waste the precious resources of the Third Reich, and also disperse the limited scientific research strength of the Third Reich.

"The new weapons are propelled by rockets, which are very fast and difficult to intercept! We will soon be able to carry out large-scale air raids on the British mainland without losing a single soldier or a single soldier..." When Goering said here, his face was full of expression with an excited smile.

However, Li Le kept complaining in his heart: What you said is really good, but unfortunately the development progress of this thing is seriously lagging behind. By the time we use it in 1944, the Allies will be hitting the door! Dear! (To be continued.)
