"Father, this is simply amazing! It's completely different from riding an airship! It's also completely different from driving in a club! This is the real flying! The 16-year-old German Crown Prince Reinhardt excitedly shouted to his father: "The wind is whistling in my ears, and the waves are beating on my cheeks. The experience at this speed is simply amazing! ”

Seeing his son's excited expression, Yoheng was a little happy and a little helpless, and blamed: "You are really bold enough, if there is a little accident, everyone here will be responsible." Top novel, www."

"I have confidence in my technology, in our aircraft, in the mechanics of the German Navy, and you should have confidence too, father." Reinhardt said with some pride and some flattery.

After hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, the surrounding German naval officers all had a proud expression, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words were very useful to them.

Yoheng could only shake his head helplessly, but there was also a hint of relief when he looked at his son's delicate face. Reinhardt is very similar to himself, he likes strange things since he was a child, and has an unusual interest in new things, of course, this is also related to Jochen's guidance.

And flying machines are the technology he is most interested in.

And today, when he followed his father to inspect the Wilhelmshaven naval base, he finally seized an opportunity to stalk and finally get a coveted opportunity.

"Even if you are excellent in the theory exam, and you have 50 hours of experience in instructor flight and 20 hours of experience in solo flight, the things you fly in the club are very different from military aircraft, and you have to drag me to mess around with you." Jochen shook his head: "When you go back, your mother will definitely nag non-stop, and we father and son will be disciplined by her." ”

The reason why Jochen agreed to hang out with his son was because Reinhardt had 20 hours of solo flying experience at the flying club in Berlin. Moreover, this time it was a seaplane, and in case of any accidents, it was relatively safe to make a forced landing on the water.

"As long as no one sues Sù's mother, won't she know?" The young crown prince said to his father with a flattering face: "As long as your father orders that no one is allowed to report to his mother?" ”

"Do you think it's possible? Are you really your mother who doesn't care about anything outside the world? Jochen said angrily.

"Uh......" Reinhardt was speechless for a while, and the thought of being nagged by his mother again after returning to the back immediately turned into a bitter melon.

"The first thing you do when you go back is to report to your mother." Jochen said with a straight face: "She will be relieved to see that you are safe." ”

"What about you, father?" Reinhardt asked with a bitter face.

"Me? I have something to discuss with His Excellency Machar first. You go back first. Without hesitation, Yochen sold his son again, and when his wife had counted his son, then it was estimated that there would not be much ammunition to fire at him.

Reinhardt said, "Char, you count me!" looked at his father with an expression, but he got used to it, and this was not the first time anyway.

Jochen is naturally very supportive of his son's liking of flying machines, so he still has a supportive attitude towards his son's willingness to join the flying club, and as the German crown prince, he likes flying machines very much. Naturally, there will be a good effect at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom.

Therefore, as a new racing project, the airplane has developed very quickly in the German private sector, allowing many young people from the middle and upper classes to have a new spice for the pursuit of excitement and freshness.

Jochen also took advantage of the trend to promote flying throughout Germany, and flying clubs were born. Of course, the planes used by the private flying clubs are those sports planes with little horsepower and not very good performance, which is naturally not the same as the military model, which is why Reinhardt has to fly a naval plane in Wilhelmshaven.

Supporting the civilian movement of flying is not only a new way for these young and restless young people to have fun, but also has a strong military significance, as is the shooting club and driving school.

Early piston planes were not very difficult to pilot. Even in World War II, it was not much higher, and basically about 150 hours of flight time could be used to carry out combat missions. Of course, these rookies are going to die. In the jet age, with the advancement of technology and the improvement of air combat theory, pilots have to master more and more knowledge and skills, and the standard of this requirement is naturally getting higher and higher, and it has reached the era of fourth-generation aircraft (now the Americans have also changed to the five-generation classification, although there are still some differences with the Russians' five-generation classification). The requirements for flight hours have exceeded 1,000, for example, the American F15 pilot, if you have no foundation at all to enter the Air Force, you will have to accumulate nearly 1,500 flight hours from scratch to be eligible to fly F15.

However, whether it is a piston machine or a jet aircraft, the most basic stage can actually be skipped with the flight foundation of a civil aircraft. It's just that the proportion of this initial stage in the total flight hour requirement is very different, and in the piston machine period, the proportion of this stage is actually quite high.

Therefore, the popularity of flying clubs can train a large number of experienced civilian pilots who can skip the most basic stage, and can train into qualified military pilots in a relatively short time during wartime, and the advantages of this model are undoubtedly evident in World War II.

In the eyes of later generations, most of the top pilots in World War II were German pilots, and there were also a small number of Japanese pilots.

But in reality, Germany and Japan could not be opponents of the United States and the Soviet Union in the air from the very beginning, and not to mention the huge gap in production capacity, the number of pilots alone was an insurmountable chasm.

Germany was castrated by the Treaty of Versailles after World War I, and was not allowed to have any aircraft other than postal aircraft, and Japan was a small country, unable to support a large team of pilots with its own resources, and the air bases of both countries were very poor.

You must know that pilots fly out with oil, and Germany may be able to rely on Romania or even the Soviet Union to import oil in peacetime, but Japan does not even have such conditions.

As a result, the number of pilots in both countries was small, so they had to work quality, so both German and Japanese pilots were excellent at the beginning of the war, but as this group of elite pilots was exhausted in the war. Both countries have a situation of inability to follow, so it is common for them to be beaten by the British, American, and Soviet air forces in the later period.

As an industrial power, the United States is a large industrial country, and its own agriculture is cultivated on large farms, and the agricultural mechanization process is high, agricultural aircraft are very common in the United States, and the United States itself is very popular in civilian flights. As a result, there were a large number of reserve pilots in wartime.

The Soviet Union promoted civilian flying clubs in the country, so the Soviet Union had the second largest group of civilian pilots in the world after the United States.

After the Soviet Union launched a sneak attack by the Germans and wiped out most of the Soviet Air Force on the ground in one fell swoop, the Soviets were able to face the Luftwaffe, which had experienced the actual combat training of the British air battle and had the advantage of aircraft performance.

However, Germany's own pilot reserve force is poor, coupled with the shortage of resources, so it can only tilt various resources to the old birds, and the free safari tactics have become the best way for these old birds to brush their achievements into trump cards.

However, the German rookie who did not have a chance to attack was extremely weak. In addition, the training capacity of the Luftwaffe schools themselves was extremely poor, and even during the war, the number of graduates of aviation schools in Germany was about several hundred every year, and the more the number of pilots was short, the more experienced flight instructors were transferred, and the vicious circle of the worse the training ability of pilots was even more inexplicable. Even Britain, which had a much worse foundation than the United States and the Soviet Union, was able to train 30,000 graduates after establishing an aviation school in Australia, so the Luftwaffe had no chance of winning the war from the beginning.

And the Russians were able to pass this act of sending to death, and forcibly cultivated a group of elite air forces that were not afraid of the top trump cards of the Luftwaffe in the later stages of the war. Because all the pilots who can survive to the end in the non-stop death are top-notch pilots.

Therefore, after the top German pilots were exhausted, it was the turn of the Soviet pilots to brush up on the achievements of the Germans in the later stage of the war, but it was a pity that the poor Germans were not enough to share the American and Soviet pilots.

And the same act of sending people to death has achieved the opposite result. That was Japan, due to the defeat of elite pilots at Midway and the massive consumption of flesh and blood on Guadalcana Island, by the time of the Battle of Mariana, the level of Japanese pilots was far lower than that of American pilots, and because Ozawa's method of out-of-flight warfare did not take into account the stupidity of the pilots' physical condition, the last batch of Japanese pilots with more than 200 hours of flight time were slaughtered by a large number of American naval aviation units with more than 500 hours of flight time.

The Japanese, who did not have the same foundation as the Soviet Union and did not have as many resources as the Soviet Union, chose to die as "kamikaze agents", and the exchange between the results of such suicide attacks and the wasted pilots was a loss-making deal no matter how you look at it. Of course, no matter what method is used, the outcome of the Japanese will not change much.

On the other hand, the adversary, the United States, can not only calmly demand that it cannot participate in the aircraft carrier without more than 300 hours of flight time, but also has to undergo hundreds of hours of flight training before it can participate in the war. And he also very calmly recalled the aces who shot down 20 enemy planes back to China as instructors to train more pilots, because the United States, which has a large number of pilots, does not care at all about a few fewer trump cards, so in the later stage of the war, even if they are elite old birds with more than 500 flight hours in other countries, they are all over the United States, and it is not strange that even a task force has so many aces with dozens or hundreds of flight hours and nearly 1,000 flight hours.

In various considerations, Jochen felt that the popularization of civilian flying sports in Germany was a good thing and no harm, and now that the world is peaceful, not to mention that Germany has a colony with oil fields, even if it does not, it is also a very simple matter to import oil from abroad.

Therefore, there is no problem in fuel consumption at all, and the prosperity of civil aviation sports can not only cultivate a large number of pilot reserve forces, but also promote the progress of aviation technology, so although I am a little worried about the safety of my son, I still support it, and I am not less complained by my wife.

Of course, today my son went to play with military planes, and after my wife found out about this, it must have been another big lesson, so I naturally had to sell my son to the top tank.

"It's a good thing that His Royal Highness likes to fly, which shows that our German crown prince has the courage to be good at accepting new things and technological progress, which is a blessing for the empire." Hipper, who was accompanying him, smiled and complimented.

"Come on, it's a blessing for the empire to like flying? You're going to be a sycophant now, Franz. Jochen smiled and said, "If you want me to say it, it's unstable and too young." ”

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and with their own efforts and Jochen's attention, Hipper has now served as the commander of the first cruiser detachment of the Ocean Fleet with the rank of rear admiral.

"Aren't you also very interested in new things at your age?" Hipper smiled and said, "Looking at the achievements that Your Majesty has led the empire now, it is of course a blessing for the empire that Your Highness is so similar to you." ”

"I studied whatever I was interested in, and I didn't have the ability to spend money on others to study, this kid was just playing, and he was far from me. But not only are you a sycophant, but you're still at a very high level. Jochen smiled and pointed to his classmates.

After laughing, the two talked about business: "Franz, now the negotiations on the Hague side have reached an impasse, of course, this situation is expected by us, but we have already revealed the news of the large cruiser, and judging from the information obtained by the British, it seems that the British want to maintain their numerical superiority over us in this new type of ship, so we are also ready to continue to build this new warship."

However, this kind of warship is very different from the previous heavy cruisers, so after the two Scharnhorst-class ships are sent to the Far East, the new large cruisers will only be deployed on the mainland and will not be sent abroad. The new fleet is very different from the previous cruiser fleet, so I have consulted with His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff of Tirpitz and decided that a new detachment should be formed, and all the large cruisers should be concentrated in this detachment.

I would like to recommend you as the commander of this new fleet. Jochen laughed and told Sù Hipper the good news. (To be continued......)
