Arthur mentioned by Li Mei?? Field Marshal Harris was the commander of the bomber unit of the British Royal Air Force. The RAF launched a strategic bombing campaign against Germany for a longer period of time than the US Army Air Corps. However, Britain's industrial strength was far inferior to that of the United States, which led to the RAF's ability to withstand losses far less than that of the United States. In order to reduce losses, the RAF used the cover of night to attack German targets, unlike the US allies, who attacked the heavily defended German industrial areas precisely during the day.

Although night attacks have brought the problem of difficulty in interception to the defending side, it has also brought the problem of difficult targets for the attacking side to hit accurately. It was too inefficient to bomb industrial targets at night that needed precision strikes, so the British targeted cities.

The British believed that striking at the cities, or, more clearly, on residential areas, killing and injuring German inhabitants in large numbers would not only blow the morale of the Germans, but also fundamentally affect industrial production.

Not so long ago, Arthur?? The British Royal Air Force under Field Marshal Harris used thousands of Lancaster heavy bombers to launch round after round of bombing of Hamburg, Germany, killing at least 50,000 German residents. The entire Hamburg was almost razed to the ground.

Now, in order to force the Luftwaffe to continue to come out desperately. Ron and LeMay thought of employing a massive air raid on Germany's most important cities. If the U.S. military could swagger in broad daylight, [y][b][d][u] to launch a deadly, precision bombing campaign against Berlin, the capital of Germany, on a scale that surpassed the RAF's air raid on Hamburg. That would have caused huge casualties to the Germans and seriously affected the morale of the Germans. Li May even hoped that the bombers of the Royal Air Force would abandon the habit of night raids and join the Americans in launching a large-scale bombing of Berlin in Germany during the day.

Ron and LeMay presented the plan to General Doolittle, who was silent for a long time after reading it. Then, he spoke:

"General Li Mei, General Ron, are you sure there is no other way?" It seems that the large-scale air raids on the city targeting civilians are still a little difficult for Doolittle to accept.

"Nothing else is going to put enough pressure on the Germans in the short term." Li Mei replied without changing her face.

Li Mei's performance made Ron secretly admire in his heart, he really deserves to be the cow who burned Tokyo later, how can he be like Arthur?? Marshal Harris, fried a burger and Dresden, and after the bombing, he had to repent in his memoirs. Look at Li Mei, who later burned Japan almost all over, and the little devils who burned to death were not much less than the eight years of the entire Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they could still accept the gratitude of the Japanese without changing their faces, and came back with a medal of the Rising Sun from the old boy in Hirohito.

Doolittle turned his gaze to Ron.

"General, the jet of the Germans is an epoch-making creation. In the confrontation with such aircraft, our exchange ratio is quite poor. Once the enemy has accumulated enough numbers, we cannot compete with them. ”

"The British and we have a corresponding jet program."

"Yes, but none of those planes have the range to escort bombers. If we can force them to fight us now, then we can consume some of the Luftwaffe's most experienced pilots now. Airplanes can be replenished quickly, but pilots are not. Once Germany's good pilots are exhausted, even if they all fly advanced fighters, there is nothing to worry about. ”

"So can we first give Berlin residents a warning that they must leave by tomorrow. In this way, if the Germans did leave, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat, and the blow to morale would probably be even greater. And I think, if we do this, the pressure on the Luftwaffe will be greater. And the massive movement of people would also make their capital chaotic. If the Germans had remained in Berlin, they would have been Nazi supporters, and the bombing of them would have given an account to public opinion at home. ”

Ron looked at Doolittle with wide eyes, at first when he heard Doolittle's proposal, he thought that General Doolittle was a virgin, but who knows, he immediately threw out the sentence "It is easy to explain to domestic public opinion". It turns out that Doolittle is not struggling with whether to do it or not, but how to do it and erect something.

"I didn't see this guy being so black-bellied!" Ron hurriedly agreed:

"We will step up the printing of propaganda materials tonight, and we will go to scatter leaflets early tomorrow morning with a shocking lineup of thousands of machines. At the same time, starting this evening, the BBC will add a bombing forecast program to its broadcast to Germany. By the way, let them laugh at these cowards of the Luftwaffe. ”

……

A train is heading towards Berlin in the dark of night. The train's windows are tightly covered by special blackout curtains, and although the interior of the carriage is brightly lit, it is only dark from the outside.

Field Marshal Sperler was sitting in the carriage of this train. He was sitting at his desk, writing and drawing on a piece of paper. After a while, he crumpled the paper again and threw it into the trash.

"Oh God! What will it take to convince the bohemian man? ”

The Bohemian Captain was the nickname that the veteran Marshal Rundstedt privately gave Hitler. Hereditary military aristocrats like Lao Long have always looked down on Hitler from humble backgrounds in their hearts. The so-called "Bohemia" was a region within the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I. There are so many gypsies in this place (now in the Czech Republic) that to say that a person is bohemian is basically to say that he is a gypsy.

Gypsies and Jews are the least popular peoples in all of Europe. In the eyes of most Europeans at the time, Jews were all vampires, and Gypsies were all witches, prostitutes, crooks, and thieves. To paraphrase the premise of some later games, the Jews are the evil and orderly necromancy, and the Gypsies are the evil and chaotic orcs. And Rundstedt called Hitler a "bohemian man-in-chief", which was nothing more than a mockery of Hitler's low military level and his penchant for cranky nonsense.

(Rundstedt referred to Hitler as a "derb??") "hmischegefreite" is a historical fact. The country will always "derb?? hmischegefreite" translates to "Bohemian corporal". In German "gefreite" means soldier, and in German the corporal is "unteroffizier". ）

Field Marshal Sperler is no more qualified than Rundstedt, who dares to say anything. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one around, it is estimated that he would not dare to mumble such a sentence.

However, how to convince the "bohemian captain" who is known for his stubbornness is really a nerve-wracking matter. Field Marshal Speller again began to draw up on the new piece of paper in front of him a battle plan that would be used to conquer the stubborn fortress. It was busy until late at night, and after the wastepaper basket was full of all kinds of crumpled and sloppy waste paper, Marshal Sperler reluctantly drew up a battle plan.

"Although there is no guarantee that I will be able to conquer the fortress, this is probably the best plan I can come up with." Before going to bed, Marshal Speiler said to himself.

……

Early the next morning, Marshal Sspeller was informed that he would be received by the Führer at nine o'clock in the morning at the Chancellery. So Marshal Sperler rushed to the Chancellery at eight o'clock to wait for Hitler's reception.

As soon as you enter the Chancellery, you can see the hall of the oversized model of the city of Berlin, which Hitler hoped to build into a new Rome after ruling the world. So this model of the future Berlin is full of Greek Parthenon and Roman Pantheon-style buildings. Some of these ideas, supposedly came directly from Hitler.

The time agreed with Hitler had not yet arrived, so Marshal Sperler could only wait here for a while. So the bored marshal stood there and carefully observed the model.

I have to say that the bohemian big-headed soldier still has a little appreciation in art. This model, for example, is very beautifully built and very demagogic. Marshal Sperler remembers that he was also inspired when he first saw the model. Gone are the feeling of that time. Now the marshal had only worries about the air force and the future of Germany......

"Marshal, the Führer, please come in." An attendant officer came over and said to Marshal Speller.

So Marshal Speeler turned, nodded to the attendant, and followed him inside.

Field Marshal Sperler met with Hitler, who informed him of the current predicament of the Air Force and offered to him either to give him more fighter units or to allow him to temporarily take measures to avoid the war in order to wait for more Me-262s to enter service.

Upon hearing these two demands, Hitler was furious, and he roared at Field Marshal Speller:

"You have no fewer fighters than the Americans! You even ask for more planes, do you think that we are an inferior people like the Slavs, who can only live by numerical superiority? Are you beaten by them and afraid to take off? You're still not German! You actually asked to avoid the war and let them bomb at will! …… I came to Hebei Province, where are the steel mills good...... You have disappointed me so much! ”

Just as Field Marshal Sperler was trying to continue convincing Hitler, who was already approaching madness, a mournful air raid siren sounded.

An attendant walked in.

"Führer, air strike, you must immediately move to the bomb shelter!"

"I'm not going!" Hitler roared: "I'm not going anywhere!" I want to see what we did in the Luftwaffe! He turned his head and glared angrily at Marshal Speller, his whole face distorted.

"You don't deserve to hold your current position anymore, I'm removing you! Let the truly brave take on this position! ”

The college entrance examination is invigilated in the past two days, so the update will be late, and the bottle wants to say sorry.
