Listening to the two front-line commanders not only agreeing but also adding footnotes, the others quickly reacted and echoed and touted, Hoffman was dizzy by their fanciful words, his face turned red involuntarily, and he hurriedly said: "I still have to test to know the appropriate angle of inclination and layout, and I have to re-study the tactics, but it is not as simple as I draw on the map." ”

"The most important thing is creativity, and with creative action, it's not difficult." Kamhubel patted his chest and promised, "Please rest assured, I'll be tomorrow, no!" Engineers will be arranged tonight to design and verify to ensure that the modification of an aircraft will be completed within two weeks, but this, this ......"

The dignified air defense director and lieutenant general of the Air Force actually twisted: "...... Can you send me this design drawing? ”

Hoffman looked at the sketch he had sketched casually, and then at Camhuber's eyes, and suddenly felt that he couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that this design sketch was a bit childish no matter how it looked. I thought so, but the pen in my hand didn't stop, and I signed it and handed it over. Kamhubel carefully took it and put it in his briefcase, and before he could sit down, his lieutenant knocked on the door and walked in, still muttering in his ear.

Kamhuber's eyes changed and changed, and his face was a little ugly, but he decided to tell the truth: "The air defense command reports: a large group of British aircraft has crossed France and headed straight for the Ruhr industrial area, and we are ready to respond. But there was a group of about 4 bombers that might have been lost, and the journey was very strange, judging by the route, they were coming in the direction of Berlin. Considering that there are not many of them, in order to avoid panic among the people, they are prepared not to raise the air defense siren, but to directly call in night fighters and anti-aircraft artillery groups to kill them, of course, there is no problem with the safety of Berlin. ”

Yeshunek hurriedly said: "For the sake of prudence, do you want to ask the Führer and you to go to the air defense basement to take shelter for a while?" ”

"I'm not going!" Hoffman waved his hand and laughed, "It's only 4 planes, what threat can it pose?" I don't have even the slightest confidence in the Air Force. If the air raid came and the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force was the first to run to the dugout, what did the German people think of us? Go to the nearest command center, I want to see on the spot how you command operations, I can't be the commander-in-chief of the Air Force and not know anything about air force operations, it would be ridiculous. ”

Surrounded by the Flag Guards, they quickly arrived at Dubelize, near Berlin, a typical air defense operational command where both day and night air defense depended. The main building has a floor area of 2,500 square meters and a height of 12 meters, next to a 9-meter-high annex and a 4-meter-deep basement below. The buildings are all made of high-grade reinforced concrete, with a cement layer up to 1 meter thick, which can protect against direct hits by heavy aerial bombs, and the concrete use of a single headquarters is up to 33,000 cubic meters. Now Hoffmann finally understood what Jeshunek meant by the lack of resources: because such headquarters were not one or two, but spread over the main areas of the German mainland and the Western Front, and so far more than 20 had been built, and the density would continue to increase according to Kamhuber's plan to build a tighter air defense network.

Colonel William, the head of the command center who received the news, had already been waiting at the door with several major staff officers, and under his leadership, everyone went directly to the basement, where the core command hub was located. Walking into the hall, Hoffmann stopped Colonel Wilhelm's desire to inform the Führer of his arrival, and only looked for himself with his eyes. Soon the crowd was frightened by the sheer size of the room: in the middle of the hall were rows of 6-7 theater-like terraced seats, numbered by different numbers, full of people, all with headphones and a telephone in front. As Kamhuber was introduced, Hoffman learned that the guides, each responsible for liaising with the radar station in charge, would then mark them on the map using a light point projection, with the red dots representing enemy troops and the blue ones representing his own fighters. On the wall in front of them was a huge aerial map, 12 meters long and 9 meters high, with clear markings, and everything was clear. Hoffman took a closer look and found that the focus included cities, airports, radar stations, rivers, core factory areas, and more. Another area of the hall is the deployment area of the command officer, and the deployment and readiness of the night fighter units are recorded on blackboards and maps, including important information such as the location of the base and the time of take-off.

Everyone was busy working, and although the phone was ringing, it was so orderly that no one seemed to notice the arrival of Hoffman and his party. Seeing such a scene, Hoffman couldn't help but think of the work scene of the stock exchange, the two are so similar, and of course the latter will be a little more fanatical.

When Hoffman noticed that many of the seats were accompanied by a woman in military uniform, Kamhuber was embarrassed to explain: "Since the Führer himself ordered the expansion of women's participation in military activities and the provision of human resources for the Reich, we have recruited volunteers from the Women's Auxiliary Corps of the Air Force in the hope that they will be able to take on the role of command and guide." In the early stage, they were given a week of surprise training, and what you see now are the relatively outstanding trainees in the training, and the first batch of them passed the assessment to the command center for one-on-one combat learning. The Führer's decision-making proved to be very wise, and the ladies were quick to get started, and they also gave full play to their delicate and patient specialties, and they were able to do a better job than the men, and if there were enough manpower, I planned to replace all the guides with female auxiliaries after a while. ”

Keitel and Speer held back their laughter, and Jeshunek and Garand turned a blind eye, but they were not surprised.

"You're doing a great job, Kamhuber. Imperial women are our precious treasures, and they must be put to good use after the general mobilization. Hoffman affirmed his approach, "Stalin had already thrown women into the war, and we were too late for that." ”

While talking, a female guide suddenly found Hoffmann and others, and covered her mouth in surprise, and reacted after a while, reflexively put her legs together, raised her right hand and saluted: "Hi ~ Hitler!" ”

A man next to "Helen ......" made a dissatisfied voice, "Don't make a fuss, it's good to salute when you meet an officer, you don't need to raise your hand, if everyone is like this, the order of the command will be ......"

Before the word "chaotic" could be spoken, his head involuntarily turned and caught a glimpse of Hoffman and the others, and he was immediately shocked, jumping up like a spring, his legs were straight, and his right arm was raised high, "Hi ~ Hitler!" The voice was so loud that the entire command hall was alarmed. This was a good thing, everyone found out that the Führer was coming, and all of them hurriedly stood up and saluted, shouting endlessly, and even the officers of the nearby operational command area were alarmed and rushed over, and now the scene was really chaotic, and Hoffman had to raise his right hand in the same way in response.

Camhuber, who was laughing and crying, glared at the young sergeant with dissatisfaction, raised his voice and said to the audience: "It is a great honor for the Führer to personally come to inspect the air defense command work, now please keep quiet and return to your position to continue your work......

The discipline and obedience of the Germans were outstanding, and at the moment of Kamhuber's order, the whole command hall immediately returned to calm, and now everyone knew that the Führer was watching them, and they worked harder. Looking at the young and enthusiastic faces, Hoffman made up his mind in his heart that he must save these young people from defeat.

At this moment, in the night sky at an altitude of 5,500 meters, four Lancaster heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force are flying alone in a formation, each carrying a 3,000-kilogram aerial bomb in its belly. Their original goal was to bomb the Ruhr industrial area, but now it seems apparently that they are lost, because their course is headlong towards the Berlin air defense network, the heart of the Third Reich.
