In the face of Raeder's inquiry, Fang Yan couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, the other party really regarded himself as an all-rounder, and even had extraordinary attainments in logistics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, the extensive training of carrier-based aircraft pilots is a hurdle that the German Navy must overcome to enter the aviation age; Otherwise, the German Navy would most likely follow in the footsteps of the Japanese Combined Fleet in another dimension.

Because of the intoxication with the early assault of "the rise and fall of the imperial state in this war", the Japanese army, which has many special elements in the national spirit, is particularly inattentive to the training of successors; This consequence was not yet evident in the East Asian continent, where the intensity of the war was relatively low, but in the Pacific theater of confrontation with US imperialism, it caused a devastating disaster. In late 1944, the experienced pilots of the Japanese Navy had been exhausted, and in the face of the menacing US forces advancing into the Philippines, the Japanese Navy had to throw the group of aircraft carrier fleets, which should have been the absolute main force, as a decoy to cover the attack of the battleship group on the Leyte Gulf landing site. In the end, the aircraft carrier that served as the decoy was naturally wiped out, ending their careers in a way that was extremely inconsistent with their own role. As for the situation of the Japanese Army Airlines, the tragedy of "Mariana beating turkey" speaks for itself!

Fang Yan tried to analyze the crux of the Japanese navy in history, and tried to propose: "Although we have a training airfield on land that simulates the construction of aircraft carrier decks, the infinitely smooth land and the bumpy and shaky sea are obviously still two different situations for pilots. Therefore, this time our 4 aircraft carriers can not be docked at the same time, but leave 2 to train new pilots in the Baltic Sea, and then rotate with the other 2 aircraft carriers. ”

"In addition to familiarizing ourselves with the techniques of taking off and landing at sea, we should also have new pilots actively train in target search, air engagement, and naval assault. While this can significantly increase daily fuel consumption and engine wear, it is an expense that we must abandon. Fang Yan thought for a moment and proposed again, "In addition, we can also consider appointing some experienced veteran pilots as rookie instructors. The experience of these veterans can greatly help new pilots master combat skills, and although we will lose a few top fighters on the battlefield, it can greatly improve the average quality of the entire carrier-based aviation unit. In terms of propaganda, we must make these old birds and the entire navy realize that it is equally glorious and glorious to engage in the work of training new personnel compared to fighting bravely to defeat the enemy on the front line of the battlefield where bullets and bullets are rained. ”

"Jonas, do you still say you don't know logistics?" Raeder's eyes were shining, and his face was full of surprise and joy at the moment. The proposal to keep two aircraft carriers for routine training was not enough, and even if the young man had not made it, the naval staff would have thought of it driven by the sudden increase in training tasks; However, let the outstanding pilots on active duty serve as **** training instructors, but not everyone can pierce this layer of window paper. After all, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, those elite fighters with superb skills should shine their own light and heat on the battlefield, and only those who are lacking in level and depressed will be sent to the second-line team to deal with a group of recruits who have not grown up all day long.

Originally, Raeder also took it for granted that he would be able to strictly determine his position according to his ability, but at this moment, he thought carefully about Fang Yan's words, and found the shining point in it. No matter how brave an ace pilot is, he won't be able to achieve much more (who's talking about Rudell and Hartmann?). dared to openly drill the tip of the author's horns and pull it out to continue~); And if he can bring out a group of high-quality recruits in the coaching position, then the latter will definitely play a much higher role than the former. After all, war is a collective act, and the plot of a Rambo picking up an entire army can only exist in a work of art.

Seeing that Raeder's mood seemed to have become quite high because of this proposal, Fang Yan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately told him about the situation that the Soviet fleet in the port of Murmansk was ready to sell fuel to the German Navy at a low price. At the beginning, Fang Yan was the first to cut and then play in this matter, patting his chest and agreeing to the commander of the Soviet Northern Fleet, Varentin. According to the agreement reached between the two sides, in more than half a month, Valentin will lead the fleet to the sea and start the first "combat cruise" after the two sides have negotiated a deal.

"I remember hearing Admiral Hipper say that there were a few warships in the 1st Pacific Fleet of Tsarist Russia that had done something similar. They took advantage of the cruising to sell high-quality anthracite specially prepared for warships to the Japanese merchant ships that came to connect, and then turned off the fire at sea for a few days before returning to report that the cruise was complete. Unexpectedly, the current Soviets turned out to be a whole fleet, and they all started this kind of business that did not require capital. Hearing Fang Yan's narration, Raeder was slightly stunned at first, and then his face was full of ridicule and contempt. The gray animals are indeed in this nature, and the decades of regime change have not changed the disposition in their blood.

"But, through this, Jonas, I see in you that selfless loyalty to the Navy and to the country. You could have eaten the 150,000 tons of low-priced fuel oil a year and sold it to the Navy at a flat price for millions of dollars. However, you have chosen to give this profit to the army, so that we can do more with the military money allocated by the state. Raeder patted Fang Yan on the shoulder, and his words did not hesitate to praise the person in front of him. In order to allow the government to allocate tens of thousands of marks more to the revived navy, Raeder did not know how many times he had debated with those congressmen from the economic level, and this time he could see at a glance the sacrifices and contributions made by Fang Yan to the navy in this matter. Suddenly, a thought crossed Raeder's mind: Isn't it the right decision for Hitler to confer the rank of brigadier general on this young man today?

After this little episode, Raeder asked Fang Yan about some specific details of this ocean-going operation. Although the staff officers were bound to make detailed records and reports for this combat cruise, Raeder trusted Fang Yan's eyes even more: the latter had already proved with his countless prescinations that he had a far better understanding of the essence of the battlefield than ordinary people. And Fang Yan did not have any reservations, and explained to the commander-in-chief in front of him the shortcomings of the ocean-going fleet that he had summarized the night before, and the lessons that should be learned.

increase the detection range of radar and improve sonar to detect submarines lurking in nearby waters; Continue to increase the engine power of carrier-based aircraft, and modify specialized supply ships to support the disruptive engagement of the ocean-going fleet...... There are more than a dozen projects in total. Raeder, on the other hand, was almost always a good person, jot down the items mentioned by Motohiko in his personal workbook. Before they knew it, the clock in the office had struck 12 times, and the two of them came back to their senses, and an ordinary debriefing had lasted too long.

"Okay, Jonas, I won't get in the way of you and your family." Raeder smiled slightly apologetically and said with a cheerful expression. Only then did Fang Yan remember that there was a princess creature waiting for him in front of the telephone, and she must have been looking forward to it at this moment. Just as he was about to salute and say goodbye to Raeder, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a plane flying towards the port in the sky; Although it was still more than ten kilometers away, the unique humming sound of the aero engine had already reached Fang Yan's ears.

"This turned out to be a four-engine heavy plane? When did the people of the aviation force be willing to spend the money of 8 single-engine fighters to buy 1 aircraft? Fang Yan was puzzled, and at the same time gave Naval Aviation Commander Erhard in front of Raeder? Admiral Milch took an eye drop. In this plane, due to Goering's early death, the current German air force existed in a form similar to that of the American air force of the same period: the army and navy each had their own air units, the latter having a degree of autonomy in personnel administration, but having to obey the army and navy staff in combat command.

Although Milch was a man with first-class organizational skills and knowledge of aviation technology, he was always extremely stubborn in his attitude towards the four-engine heavy aircraft. He insisted that the four-engine model was a waste of resources, and that the existing Ju-88 twin-engine bomber, if modified, would be sufficient for any combat mission in the Navy. In response to this viewpoint, Fang Yan is naturally resolutely opposed, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will mercilessly attack Milch's act of freezing the four-engine aircraft project.

"In fact, General Milch has not issued any notices about the development of the four-engine aircraft in the last two months." Raeder also noticed the anomaly in the sky, and said with some confusion, "Could it be a new model made by General Speeller's army aviation?" But I should have an impression of this kind of thing. ”

Soon, the huge four-engine plane had flown over the port airport. After a few minutes of circling, the plane began to slowly land along the runway; With a fuselage of more than 22 meters and a wingspan of 32 meters, all the planes parked on site have become ponies on the side of camels. Fang Yan, who was involved in aircraft, soon discovered that this was a heavy bomber with a self-defense machine gun removed, and judging from its appearance, Fang Yan had already felt a bit of a thick demeanor similar to the American "Flying Fortress" B-17.

"Sivi!" Seeing the tall and slender figure that crawled out of the passenger cockpit, Fang Yan, who had already engraved it in his heart, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed. Suddenly, Fang Yan seemed to have returned to that brilliant warm spring afternoon in his youth: Sylvia at that time also appeared in front of him so suddenly, bringing Fang Yan an unprecedented soul touch!
