At an altitude of 10,000 meters, when the BA349 rocket-powered interceptor was at its most vulnerable, it had run out of fuel, and now it is a glider with not very good gliding performance. Of course, if it can get some time for diving, then he can use dive acceleration to get enough kinetic energy, but now, will the American fighters who have been ambushed at high altitude for a long time give them such a chance?

The BA349 rocket-powered interceptor can reach higher speeds in a dive, but in the initial stages of a dive, it is far inferior to its opponents in acceleration due to its lack of power. This leaves them practically without any means of getting rid of enemy attacks.

A group of rookies, piloting an unpowered glider, facing a group of old birds piloting a fighter with an energy advantage, this is simply not a battle, it is a complete one-sided slaughter. After only a few minutes, the remnants of BA349 were wiped out. A few lucky guys barely managed to get the rocket out before it was shot down, but in the end nothing came down.

The little strength that the German SS air force had managed to accumulate was wiped out in a big gamble. In fact, when in an unfavorable situation, the vast majority of guys who want to rely on gambling to turn the tables will only lose their money. As Thomas stood in the war room, he heard the radio "I was hit!" Help me!. One. Root. Read. novel xstxt", "He's behind me, I can't get rid of him!" "I'm going to skydive!" The cries of the same came and went, and then they all fell silent.

When all the sounds died down, Colonel Thomas shook and fell to the ground.

The most significant operation of the SS air force after its creation ended in a crushing defeat, in which all 100 aircraft were destroyed, none of them spared. After paying such a big price, the results achieved were actually only zero!

If such a result were reported to the Führer, what would have been the reaction of the Führer, who had great hopes for the SS air force? Thomas couldn't afford that.

……

"My Führer, today the boys of the SS air force are striking again at the enemy...... Goering began to report to Hitler about today's battle, over the phone.

"My friend, you must have good news for me, don't you?" From the voice on the phone, it sounded like Hitler was in a good mood.

"Can't disturb the Führer's good mood, can you?" Goering thought so. "What good is it to let the Führer know the result? Besides, this defeat, the losses are not as great as imagined, isn't it a hundred planes? Especially since such aircraft are inherently disposable, and so are pilots. So it's all lost, but it's not that terrible. ”

"Yes, my Führer." Goering put it this way, "We took the initiative and attacked the British bomber group, and achieved great results. However, my Führer, our lads have also paid a huge price for casualties, you know, they are all newbies. ”

Goering, of course, knew that the so-called "huge victory" was in fact just a big zero. Oh, it's not fair to say that, at least, when the Allies launched a preemptive attack on them, their air defense units shot down several enemy planes. Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. But Goering knew how to speak to gain Hitler's trust. With this foreshadowing, the Führer, who had been a street artist, would have made up a picture of "a heroic boy who fought the weak and the strong, and finally died a heroic martyr after killing countless obscene enemies". Then he will be moved by the artwork that he has made up in his own mind, and he will be convinced of the story.

"How many enemy planes did we shoot down?" Hitler asked on the phone.

"My Führer, we shot down a whole 40 British bombers! We ourselves lost 62 aircraft. Führer, you know, our lads are all novices. ”

Braggart or something, Goering is the best. Basically, apart from Goebbels, no one can surpass him. At this time, in the face of Hitler's interrogation, he immediately opened his mouth and reported a series of numbers with whole zeros. Moreover, he deliberately allowed himself to lose more than the enemy. (Actually, as far as those rookies can really play this exchange ratio with the bombers, it can definitely be regarded as a big victory.) People who have a special emphasis on themselves are rookies. This makes it all the more believable. At least the Führer did not doubt it at all.

What the? Do you think there will be no problems with the verification process? Boy, is this kind of thing worth verifying? If you really want to verify it, you have to tell me that the super aces of the Luftwaffe have shot down more Soviet planes than the total number of warplanes put into the Soviet Union. How did they verify their results?

"It's not easy for the boys!" Hitler sighed on the phone. Listening to that voice, Göring knew that Hitler was convinced of his report. So he hurried to make a fire.

"Führer, we have a young man named Ruka, and before he died, he shot down 3 enemy planes by himself, and finally knocked down another one by ramming. What a hero! ”

"Well, such a model should be well promoted. You go and get in touch with Goebbels. ”

"Führer, one last thing. We have lost a lot this time, and if we don't get more support, maybe we need to take a break for a while. ”

"Well, I'll give them priority to replenishing the SS air force. You can rest assured that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in the Air Force, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be in the SS. ”

Putting down the phone, Goering smiled, in fact, sometimes, bad things become good things.

……

"I think that after this strike, the German rocket interceptors should have stopped for a while," Ron said, "and the loss of nearly a hundred in one battle is absolutely fatal for a new aircraft." I was most worried about the German jets. I don't think we should be, at least in the near future, to put too many fighter jets into direct close escort in order to guard against this kind of thing. I wish I could get more out of them on safari. ”

"What if the Germans don't stop?" A British ** official asked.

"It's unlikely," replied Ron, "and the consequences of a miscalculation can be borne by our strength." ”

Ron paused, feeling that he was becoming more and more like a machine now. It seems that when any decision is made, it is only considered in terms of numbers. Is this maturity or depravity? But now is not the time to think about that.

"Here are the pictures taken by our reconnaissance aircraft, the Germans are lengthening the runways on some airfields in Poland. I suspect they intend to transfer the jets there in order to avoid our safaris and complete tactical training. Any attempt to organize the Germans is really the most vital work. We can't be held back by some small problems, lose the watermelon, pick up the sesame seeds. ”

"Can our fighters fly here?" Doolittle asked

"Yes general, both P-38 and P-81 can fly here." A staff officer replied

"As soon as you fly here, you have to fly back after two turns." Ron added.

"Then we won't be able to keep the area on a long safari to suppress the enemy." Doolittle dropped the pencil in his hand.

"General, there is still a way. Our planes don't go straight back to England, we are here, here," Ron pointed to the corresponding airfields on the map, "these airfields under the control of Soviet Maozi landed, refueled and ammunition, and flew back. It's called a shuttle safari. ”

"Why fly back? On the map, the Soviets were much closer to the airfields. It's more efficient to simply send a team and be stationed there. Doolittle said.

Ron looked at Doolittle in surprise, "This guy is really daring to think!" Isn't he afraid that McCarthy will say that he is a communist? "But now the USSR is an ally. No one would have predicted that a McCarthy would pop up in the future. Besides, considering Doolittle's status as a wealthy and handsome gold owner, it is estimated that no one will really do anything against him.

"I want the Soviets to agree to this."

"I'm going to get in touch with the country to see if I can make this idea a reality. If the country approves it, and the Soviets are in contact, I hope Ron can go to the Soviets and arrange it in person. Think of it, a safari across an entire continent, which will surely go down in history"

"Good general," Ron replied with a smile, "willing to serve you." You've left too much in history, though. ”

The victory in World War II is only a matter of time, and what to do after the war is a matter that must be considered in time, and if history does not change greatly, it is inevitable that the United States and China will take action in Korea. How will Ron handle himself then? Originally, Ron planned to retire as soon as the war was over and then run away to Europe to become a hermit. But now, he has a new idea: to get on good terms with Doolittle, and it would be good to retire with him after the war to go into business.
