Milch, Director of the Air Force of the Third Reich, State Secretary of the German Ministry of Aviation, Director of the Luftwaffe, Air Force General Milch.

It's really not quite true to say that he's a wall-riding faction, to be exact, this guy is a weather vane.

He began to follow Goering, won the admiration of the fat man, and in 1939 he was able to sit on the throne of the Third Reich's Air Force Director with the rank of Air Colonel, the second position in the Luftwaffe, and the operation of the Luftwaffe was in his hands during Goering's absence.

Then, when Goering fell, his new master was Reinhardt, who succeeded Goering as commander-in-chief of the Air Force. Feng. Stadler.

However, this guy with a keen sense of smell smelled a hint of the pre-storm breath from the shock of the upper structure, so he did not hesitate to choose to take refuge in Hitler, who seemed to be the most powerful at that time, and became a nail planted by Hitler in the air force.

But what he never expected was that Reinhardt would be so strong, and Hitler, who was invincible in the eyes of others, also fell rapidly.

(From this point of view, this guy is still a good broom star, and he is the kind of boss who specializes in it.) ）

As a result, Milch fell into an embarrassing situation, not standing on the right team twice in a row, which is an unimaginable bad thing in the German ** team, and the average person standing on the wrong team once is enough to ruin the future, let alone twice.

Milch spent the first week in trepidation, waiting for the thunder of the new Führer.

Nothing, however, happened, and in the days that followed, Milch did not receive the punishment he had expected, except for the orders given to the Air Force to fight. The investigation team sent by the High Command to purge the Air Force did not take any action against it, and even maintained enough respect and courtesy for the Air Force Commander on the surface.

This confused Milch, but his sharp mind reacted immediately. The smell of the weather banner was not blown, and he sensed from the attitude of the current upper echelons towards him that the new head of state did not seem to want to punish him, and it seemed that he still had the value of being used by that honor.

That being the case, Milch was no fool, and he immediately knew what he had to do at such a time.

Thus, the snowflakes of allegiance swept towards the Führer's base camp.

All but one of these allegiances were written by Milch himself every day, and the rest were written by other commanders of the Air Force at his behest.

The commanders weren't stupid either, and seeing that Milch was still sitting in that position, they knew that the vaneer had escaped another storm. What else is there to say, allegiance to the new Führer is what they should do, and they don't have such an opportunity in normal times, so they can curry favor with both the new Führer and the Air Force Chief, so why not do it.

As a result, the mail management office of the Führer's base camp was subjected to an unprecedented terrorist attack, and they were almost buried by the letter of allegiance sent by the Air Force.

For a while, the entire office was filled with snow-white envelopes with the logo of the flying eagle. The Air Force's planes send dozens of sacks of the same kind every day, and that's the advantage of having the resources at your disposal. Looking at the piles of mail packets that were almost touching the roof, the officers in charge of handling the letters in the base camp almost tried to cut themselves off collectively with letter openers. The Air Force did not want to be loyal to the Führer, but was prepared to use the vicious tactic of overwork to annihilate the Führer's stronghold, the Mail Management Office. The attack did not end until Xu Jun spoke to Milch on the phone, and all the members of the Führer's Mail Management Office were collectively crushed into their dormitories after shouting long live to the Führer.

The incident was named the Air Force mailbox bomb attack by the base camp post office, and he swore that if the Air Force dared to do this again, they would fight with the group of flying bastards, and even if they died, they would drag two or three air force generals to their backs.

To tell the truth, the wind vane finally guessed correctly, although that guy's previous betrayal made Xu Jun very angry, but Xu Jun really didn't want to touch Milch.

Milch is a talent, Xu Jun knows this very well, the Air Force can develop into what it is now under the leadership of a confused guy like Goering, and Milch has played a great role in it.

Although Milch was not a proper leader of the Air Force, and he lacked the concept of proper use of the Air Force, he was a very good administrator, which no one can deny.

However, Xu Jun is also very aware of this guy's fatal flaw, he is too ambitious, and he has a very strong ** for power. Milch, who was not satisfied with his job, always liked to stretch his hands very long, and the decline of the Luftwaffe in the later period had a lot to do with these shortcomings of this guy.

So, Xu Jun has been thinking about how to use this guy who has as many advantages as disadvantages.

Xu Jun was going to put a little pressure on this guy first, so when Milch tried his best to show his allegiance, Xu Jun felt that the opportunity had come.

He spoke directly with Milch on the phone, first expressing his dissatisfaction with the other party's unruly behavior in a stern tone, and then reprimanding Milch more harshly for interfering in the work of the chief of staff of the Air Force, and pointed out exactly how the other party's short-sightedness in the development of the air force would cause great damage to Germany's national security.

Milch was scared out of a cold sweat, he did not dare to justify anything for this, it was stupid and dangerous to justify his mistakes in front of a ducái, this is the experience he received from Hitler.

Therefore, he just desperately expressed repentance for his previous behavior on the phone, and also looked for opportunities to show his loyalty to Xu Jun all the time.

Xu Jun didn't say much, and after continuing to beat the other party a few times, he generously forgave the other party's previous mistakes and accepted the allegiance of the Air Force Commander, and before ending the call, His Excellency the Führer also gently said that he would wait and see Milch's future efforts, hoping that Milch would not let himself down.

Xu Jun didn't doubt the loyalty of this wind vane, because now he had no backer to rely on except himself, as long as he often knocked a few times on that guy's overstretched hand and head, this guy was still trustworthy and could be used normally.

At this point, Xu Jun used Milch to really control the Luftwaffe.

"The Luftwaffe is now too large, with cumbersome tasks and a bloated command structure slowing down the efficiency that the air force should have. This will seriously hinder the normal development and operation of the Air Force in the future.

I believe that if this situation continues, our air force will soon be unable to adapt to the rapid development of air tactics in the world, and an army that cannot keep up with the trend and cannot adapt to the situation and rhythm of the new type of war will eventually be eliminated. ”

Xu Jun looked at the subordinates in front of him and said.

"That's right, my Führer, and I feel the same way with you." Kessellin nodded in agreement.

"That's a good suggestion, and it may be the only way to save the Air Force from this predicament. However, you must remember that there must be a clear division of labor with the Air Force when forming this force, and that overlapping powers are often a source of contradictions. ”

"I understand, Führer." Kasseline replied.

"Well, since the main task of this unit is to support the army in combat, then let's call it the army aviation unit, and simply completely cut off relations with the air force and establish a new branch."

"Wait a minute, my Führer."

Brauchitsch on the side was a little unable to sit still, he hadn't figured out what Xu Jun was talking about earlier, but when he heard the unfamiliar word of Army Aviation, Brauchitsch couldn't help but feel a sudden movement in his heart.

Although he didn't understand what it was, since he had the word army, it must have something to do with the army, so as the commander of the army, he was eager to get a clear answer from Xu Jun.

"Your Excellency, I know what you're asking."

Xu Jun smiled and picked up a document and handed it to Brauchitsch, and Brumberg, who was sitting on the side, also leaned his head over curiously.

"I looked at the combat reports of the previous stage and sensed a problem with the Luftwaffe. That is the deviation in the focus of operations.

In addition to fighting the opposing air force and carrying out bombing missions, the air force also has to undertake combat support tasks for the army.

Close support, long-range support, airdrop supplies, tactical reconnaissance, expulsion of opposing bombers, positional air defense, etc., etc. These trivial tasks have exhausted the Air Force, severely distracted our valuable combat forces, and Air Force commanders have become at a loss in the face of an endless stream of peripheral tasks.

What exactly the tasks of the Air Force should be, I don't think our Air Force commanders themselves can clearly say at the moment.

The main task of the air force is to seize air supremacy, prevent the effective activities of the opponent's air force, and destroy all the air power of the opponent. Their enemy is the enemy's air force, and they should devote all their energy and strength to destroying the opponent's air force, and cooperating with the army offensive is only a secondary task of the air force.

However, now our Air Force is not doing this at all. The Luftwaffe's current operational thinking made a fatal mistake at the strategic level. No, it can be said that our air force does not have any strategic consciousness at present, and the air force's current operational thinking is still at the ordinary tactical level, which also makes the direction of the development of our air force deviate at the same time.

This will be very detrimental to our future operations. We must pay attention to this, and we must correct these mistakes. ”

Xu Jun glanced at his subordinates and continued, "General Catherine and General Bock's suggestions are very good, and this is something I have been considering. How to drag the Air Force out of the quagmire of heavy ground support, how to use our air power more efficiently, and how to free up the Air Force to consider the strategic problem are the problems that we urgently need to solve now.

Now we have an answer, that is, to separate the ground tactical support mission, including all tactical tasks related to the army's operations, from the air force's combat mission, and to carry out it by a specially formed unit, that is, the army aviation unit I mentioned earlier.

This unit will have the command structure of Duli, which will be completely out of the Air Force and directly under the command of the General Command of the Army, and they will have only one mission, to cooperate with the Army in ground operations.

Protecting the air security of the Army's positions, carrying out cover and support in the Army's battles, bombing and ground attacks of a tactical nature, and carrying out tactical transport missions are the main operational directions of this unit.

The Air Force can get rid of those tedious tasks and face the challenge of the enemy air force with all its strength, while the Army side can get rid of the trouble of those liaison review procedures and can obtain air support more easily and quickly, which will bring immeasurable impetus to the future operations and development of the German Army and Air Force. ”

"Great, my Führer, I really can't find the words to express the excitement I feel at this moment."

Brauchitsch handed the document to Brumberg, who was stretching his neck on the side, and he said excitedly: "This plan is really good, the command and operation of the army will be more flexible, whether it is offensive or defensive, the army can get immediate and more efficient cover and support, which is of great significance to the army." This means that our troops no longer have to wait for air power to delay their fighters, no longer suffer losses due to delays in orders, and let soldiers die in vain under enemy fire. If you are able to agree to this plan, the German Army will be forever grateful, my Führer. ”

"No need for that, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. This is something I should have thought a long time ago, God forbid, it's not too late. ”

After Xu Jun finished speaking, he drew a cross on his chest, and his subordinates couldn't help but laugh at the Führer's naughty action.

"Well, I'll talk to Milch alone about forming this force, he'll be here tomorrow. I am ready to appoint General Richdhoven as the first commander of this new service, General Kesselring, what do you think? ”

"This ...... Everything is according to your will, my Führer. ”

As the proposer of this suggestion, Kessellin did have some coveting that position.

After all, he was the commander-in-chief of a new branch of the armed forces, which was completely different from the fact that he was now the commander of an air force, and he also saw that the space for the development of this branch of the armed forces in the future would be very vast, and although it was impossible to sit on an equal footing with the air force, it would not be too different.

But now the situation was different, and he found that the Führer had already had similar plans, and was thinking longer than himself, and that his little suggestion did not seem to be on the table.

So although he was a little jealous, he still accepted Xu Jun's proposal, and he believed that Xu Jun would not forget his performance this time and would definitely give him something in return.

"Very well, then this matter is settled. What I'd like to talk about now is the time we entered Paris. ”

Xu Jun smiled and took the document from Blumberg's hand and put it back on the shelf.

"General Bock, except for my legion, the rest of the troops are under your command this time, how is the situation now?"

"My Führer, I have carried out a strict screening of the troops participating in the entry into the city, all the personnel are the elite of each unit, and the equipment has been strictly tested, and there will be absolutely no mistakes.

Now that the troops are undergoing the final intensive training, I am sure that we will be able to achieve the results we expect, and those who are French will be shocked by the majesty of our German team. Bock replied excitedly.

"It's not just shocking, my general, I want them to be fascinated by the German ** team and make them crazy about it." Xu Jun said.

"Well, hehe, the troops who have participated this time are all carefully selected, and all of them are the most Germanic handsome boys, and I think they will be able to charm all the Parisian girls......" Brauchitsch interjected.

"Then all the men of Paris will be jealous, my Marshal, what shall we use to impress these jealous men when the time comes?" Xu Jun said with a smile.

"Is this...... Even the horses of the troops participating in the entry into the city were strictly screened, and they were replaced with new horseshoe and new horse dung bags. The soldiers' uniforms were all gone, as well as medals and medals. ”

Bock now looks like a crappy salesman.

"All the armored vehicles have been repainted, even the tracks and tires have been renewed, and the armored vehicles now look like they are new. Tanks, your direct tank regiment ......"

"I know, I know......" Xu Jun stopped Bock's words.

"I saw it on a pre-breakfast walk, it was shiny and looked like a box of jewelry...... Armoured...... Jewel case. ”

"But it's really beautiful, it's gorgeous. My Führer. ”

"Well, when will all the preparations be done, Marshal Bock."

"There will be a final dress rehearsal this evening, mainly with the cooperation of armored units, and I think everything will be fine." Bock replied respectfully: "Now it is enough to contact Paris for a specific time, my Führer." ”

"Very well, immediately contact the Parisian side, by the way, let them bookmark the surrender, I think they have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I'll leave these matters to you, Marshal Bock, and let them send me the instrument of surrender, and I'll sign it. ”

"Yes, my Führer, they will send a messenger to contact today, that guy carries that surrender every time, I want to ......"

"Yes, take him to the high command, and you can talk to him about specific problems."

"Yes, my Führer." Bock replied respectfully.

"So be it, tell the French that I'm ready to enter Paris the day after tomorrow and get them ready."

"Yes, my Führer."

Xu Jun stood up and walked to the window of his office and looked in the direction of Paris. Although he saw nothing but lush bushes and tall woods, Xu Jun knew that the first stop on his long road of conquest, Paris, the pearl of Europe, was waiting for him there.

What kind of attitude this noble city will face him, the conqueror, Xu Jun couldn't help but raise a trace of anticipation from his heart.
