"I really didn't expect that the first large-scale organized bombardment of surface ships by the Royal Air Force would actually take place in the distant Black Sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lieutenant General Trenhard smiled bitterly after looking at the documents handed over by Churchill, and there was a faint dissatisfaction in his tone, although there was no Royal Air Force in this era, but Lieutenant General Trenchad, who had already regarded most of the aircraft as his own bag, did not mind coining a term. And until now, Vice Admiral Trenhard still thinks in his heart that those planes of the Royal Navy were "borrowed" from him!

"But either way, that's what the cabinet meant. You and I must do it whether we want it or not. You know, I would have preferred these bombs and torpedoes to fall on the port of Kiel than on Constantinople. It's just a sub-battlefield. The meaning is very limited. If, on the other hand, we can gain experience in Constantinople and then make our attack on the port of Kiel more perfect, that's also a good thing. "The best thing to do when facing a person full of resentment is to let him vent and get down to business. Churchill did a very good job of this. A few words made the Air Force lieutenant general's face soften slightly.

"It's not that simple, if we're going to do the above and inflict heavy damage on the German Mediterranean Fleet in one air strike, then we need to send all the anti-ship trained crews to the Balkans." Lieutenant General Trenchard said.

"No, judging from the current intelligence, the German Mediterranean Fleet in Turkey still has not completely repaired the two battleships that were heavily damaged by the Japanese fleet, and one of them is sure to be in the dock, which is very vulnerable to heavy damage. The order of attack of these two battleships can be placed in a row backwards. We only need to seriously damage two of the remaining 4 warships, and the rest can be left to the Russians, we don't necessarily have to sink them, heavy damage, so that they can't leave the port, and even a simple destruction of fire control equipment can greatly weaken the opponent, after all, they are in Turkey, not in Germany itself. Churchill said with a frown.

"That being said, but at the moment, the German fleet is currently scattered in 3 ports! And will be transferred frequently. If we were to attack, it would be best to include all three ports in the target. After all, we don't know if they will move someday before the attack! Lieutenant General Trenchard paused and continued: "As you say, we only have one chance to attack!" Once they have strengthened their defenses, or if the Bavarian Sky Splitters arrive in Turkey, it will be too difficult for us. ”

"Didn't the Bavarian Sky Hunters rush to Wilhelmshaven?" Churchill said with a frown.

"They have a lot of professional interceptor troops, and now there are traces of them on the Western Front, and I have always believed that the Bavarian Air Force is actually in a state of medium and low intensity engagement, and the Bavarian Air Force is always on the rise, both in terms of size, equipment and technical level, and the quality of pilots. Therefore, we must be lenient with the enemy. ”

"Of course, more importantly, the Bavarian Air Force reacts very quickly, there are institutional problems in this, Prince Ruprecht is the commander of the Eastern Front, and theoretically, he only needs a telegram to mobilize his own air force! Do you see what I mean? Lieutenant General Trenchard glanced at Churchill and said.

"Understood, just like we need to deal with you if we want a plane now, and the other party only needs a telegram." Churchill did not forget to sarcastically mock Vice Admiral Trenhard, just as Vice Admiral Trenhard wanted to one day take back more than 90 percent of what the Royal Navy could fly, Churchill now spends his days thinking about how to poach more aircraft ...... from the Army Air Corps.

But on the Eastern Front it was different, the willingness was simple, although the Bavarian Air Force became an independent Bavarian Air Force, which was not subject to the control of the Army. But they belonged to the princes, to whom the Bavarian Air Force needed unconditional obedience, and autocracy to some extent meant efficiency. So, as long as that prince feels a little wind and grass, then it may really be a matter of days, and Bavarian Air can fly over!

"So, I mean, if you want to solve this problem, you need at least 2 squadrons of twin-engine bombers and 1 squadron of V1500!" Lieutenant General Trenchard is also a simple man, and when he can't stop the opinions of the higher-ups, he will choose the fastest and most efficient way to solve the problem! Cut the Gordian knot!

"It's ....... Isn't that too much?! Are our seed squadrons going to be sent out too? Churchill was stunned! A twin-engine bomber group has 3 squadrons, each with 18 FB27 or O-400 bombers! With this crew alone, there are about 400 people in one brigade! As for the ground staff, it will be multiplied several times! If you count the other airport personnel, it's even more terrifying! As for saying that the squadron of V1500 bombers, well, there are 24 of them in this squadron! The scale is larger than the average squadron of twin-engine bombers! Why?! Because there are only 24 V1500 crews suitable for carrying out this kind of bombing figure, it is not suitable to divide into two squadrons, so for the time being, I will get a squadron first......

"Is it much? Not much at all, only 132 planes in total. Moreover, such a flight team will not only be divided into 3 target areas, but it is also unknown how many crews we can successfully reach the target in the end! You don't think I'll let the aviation force cross the Balkans during the day, right? Lieutenant General Trenhard asked with a smile!

Thanks to the speed of the aircraft in this era, if the British want to bomb on a large scale by surprise, then there is only one way to choose, that is, to release the plane at dawn, and then use the night before dawn to cover the whereabouts of the aircraft, and arrive near the target at dawn to bomb, if it is said in the daytime, the flight distance from the base to any military port is more than 300 kilometers, and it takes at least 3 hours to fly! And at this time, as long as an air defense post finds the target and makes a phone call, the RAF plan may completely fail!

Therefore, compared with the high failure rate of daytime sky attacks, some aircraft are not worth mentioning because they can't find a place because of night flights, or because of the risk of accidental crashes. Anyway, the Royal Air Force has a big business! And compared with the strategic goal that is about to succeed, there is no problem with even the loss of 4% of the aircraft!

"Mr. Churchill, all you need to do is to do a good job of assisting and cooperating, and I personally make the arrangements for the movement and planning of the Air Force, and of course, the Colonel Short you have chosen is a very good person, and I am also relieved that he is directly in charge of command." Lieutenant General Trenhard concluded.
