Hugo Spayler, commander-in-chief of the German Federal Air Force, said that the installation of BF-10 fighters is only the beginning, and next, Germany will continue to welcome the advent of new fighters, including large ground bombers, transport aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, carrier-based aircraft, etc., and the country's military industrial enterprises will gradually provide strong support for the strategic transformation of the Air Force.

On the morning of the same day, just hours before Air Force Commander-in-Chief Hugo Speller made his speech after the two-plane match, a British Royal Air Force Camel series crashed while tangling with a German BF-10 fighter jet on a training mission over a disputed area of the North Sea, and the pilot was subsequently missing.

The Luftwaffe then sorted out the circumstances of the accident in detail.

Several BF-10 fighters were intercepted by two Royal Air Force Camel fighters while passing through Sea Area 49 in the northwestern North Sea during training. Because the air over the sea area is disputed by the two countries, the German BF-10 fighters did not flinch from the interception of the British fighters, but engaged in a direct confrontation with the camel fighters who came to intercept them. After a fierce pursuit and struggle, the German fighters successfully occupied an advantageous position by virtue of their own advantages, and directly bit the British camel fighters.

After finding itself bitten by the BF-10, the camel fighter immediately made various difficult technical maneuvers, trying to get out of the situation, and even dived into the clouds during the tumbling, but still did not succeed in getting out of the fate of being locked. Later, due to a machine failure, the fighter plane finally crashed in the waters near No. 49 in the northwest of the North Sea, and the pilot has been missing.

Regarding the crash of the fighter, a spokesman for the British Royal Air Force believes that it is likely that the overload was pulled too much during the dogfight, resulting in instant damage to the aircraft, and finally the plane was destroyed and killed. However, the Camel Aircraft Manufacturing Company gave a very different account, even arguing that German military planes opened fire on the Camel fighters.

After listening to the report, Eric's expression was very cold, and even a little snickering. This time, the British fighter plane crashed in the dogfight, no matter what the reason for the plane crash and death, but it was a small victory for the German Federal Air Force, and even a revenge, after all, the British hacked the Germans fiercely after World War I.

At present, around the area where the incident occurred, the navies and air forces of the two countries are carrying out intense search and rescue work for the missing British pilot.

"Help them search and rescue a fart, or let our navy and air force all withdraw and get some sleep. These arrogant, arrogant, and self-righteous Brits should be punished by God. "Many officials expressed dissatisfaction.

"No, no, gentlemen, I don't want to lose this great opportunity to train. Not only should we continue to help the British search, but we should also increase the coordination of ships and aircraft, and expand the intensity and scope of the search, even including entering their territorial waters. Eric had a very different idea.

Brauchitsch and Hugo were smiling, in fact, they had expected Eric to take advantage of this great scouting opportunity.

"Don't laugh at my ministers and commanders-in-chief, you should quickly order your troops to set off at once and rush to the sea area where the incident occurred to help the British brethren find someone." Eric turned back to Brauchitsch and Hugo.

"Yes, Mr. Wise and Great President. However, the Federal Navy and Air Force of the German Federation have already rushed to the sea area in several batches. If nothing else, they should have arrived there by now. Brauchitsch replied.

"Oh! That's great, Your Excellency. Prime Minister Lloyd George should have awarded every German soldier a gold medal of peace. My God! I have to say that you guys made a very correct decision today, yes! I hope that the missing British pilot will be able to appreciate the true feelings of the German brothers in the spirit of heaven. Eric's mocking tone made the officials present burst into laughter.

"Yes, Mr. President, maybe that's what Lloyd George thought. But ......," Hugo said with a laugh.

"Maybe he'd like to bite me more, right?" Eric immediately interrupted Hugo and said, "All right, gentlemen, let George swallow the bitter fruit slowly!" The champagne in the port of Kiel has been opened, we are about to welcome a new fleet of the German Navy, and it is time to go. ”

According to the first plans of Eric and the Ministry of Defense, the Navy will build three major fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. Later, due to the needs of the current situation, with Eric's approval, the Ministry of Defense replanned the navy into four major fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet, the Baltic Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. At present, the North Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet are successively entering combat readiness cruises, and the Baltic Fleet is also about to form combat effectiveness.

On the morning of 18 September, the Federal Navy of Germany held a grand opening ceremony for the Baltic Fleet at the Kiel dock in the northeast. Thirty Z-21 warships, draped in festive flags, docked at a ten-mile-long pier awaiting review by the president and his attaché.

When Eric and his entourage arrived at the wharf, more than 10,000 shore officers and soldiers lined up in a long guard of honor formation, stretching from the approach bridge of the wharf to the inspection site. Admiral Franz von Hipper, commander-in-chief of the Navy, dressed in neat and straight uniform, had long been waiting on the approach bridge.

The guards stepped forward to open the door, and Eric stepped out of the car and walked the red carpet surrounded by officials. With the command of "standing upright", a group of senior admirals such as Hipper, Reinhardt, Tirpitz, Henin, Raeder and Ruetjens saluted upright......

Eric stepped forward to shake their hands one by one, and then walked with them to the podium.

Reinhardt was particularly excited and kept on his heels to Eric's right.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Commander, you don't blame me for not keeping my promises, I promised to appoint you as the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet at that time, but later I arranged you in the North Sea Fleet." Eric said to Reinhardt.

"It is already a great honor for me to let a bad old man continue to exert his residual heat, thanks to Mr. President, not to mention that the North Sea Fleet is as important as the Mediterranean Fleet. You see, Mr. President, I never dreamed that the Federal Navy of Germany would have such a majestic day, and even if I were to take off this uniform, I would not resent Mr. President. Reinhardt said, pointing to the rows of warships standing tall in front of him.

When Eric heard this, it was like swallowing a jar of honey in one gulp, sweet from his heart to his neck. When he found out that the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, Heining von Holdendorff, had also arrived from the Mediterranean to attend the ceremony, he hurriedly pulled him to his left and walked with him.

"Your Excellency the General has made the Mediterranean Sea steaming, and Italy has nothing to say, just don't distort the handsome mouth of Monsieur de France." Eric said with a funny smile.

"If you have a sense of existence, you have to keep making noise, and Mr. President's ears will make their protests grind out of cocoons." Haining also replied with a smile.

"It's good if the cocoons are thickened, let them protest! I know your character, like me, that you have a bad temper, but I'm not worried, because you've done it so well that the arrogant Westerners have nothing to say. "Eric is very impressed with Henin's work style.

"This is all thanks to the teachings and gifts of Mr. President, and Haining actually deserves it. God testifies that as long as Mr. President gives an order, Henin and the entire Mediterranean Fleet are willing to go to the trouble for Mr. President. Henin said with his hands on his chest.

Eric likes to hear such words, but he also knows that as long as he is an officer he has cultivated, all confessions are sincere, and there is no element of falsehood. Haining was also a famous general during the imperial period, and after being inspired, he first presided over the school at the William Naval Military Academy, and later became the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet.

Walking to the point where the approach bridge meets the pier, Eric suddenly stopped on the red carpet, as if waiting for someone. Perhaps because of his heart, Tirpitz hurried a few steps forward and came to him.

"Dear Mr. President, if I don't bother you, I would like to hear more from your opinions and teachings, well, opinions from all sides, which is very important." Tirpitz was a man who was good at doing things, but he was very low-key.

"Oh, the incoming commander of the Baltic Fleet. Congratulations on your nomination and official role as the core leader of this powerful team, my general, congratulations! Eric said with a smile on his face, taking Tirpitz's hand.

"This all depends on your trust and cultivation, as a navy in the new era, I will continue to study hard and live up to the trust!" Tirpitz said, making a gesture of please, letting Eri walk ahead of him.

While Eric was talking to Tirpitz, all the officials took the initiative to form a circle and listen carefully to the president's speech.

The unveiling ceremony was very solemn, the protocol department of the Ministry of Defense sent a special person to handle it, and the propaganda department of the Baltic Fleet only assisted from the side, so that, like the North Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, it was also carried out according to a fixed schedule.

Hippert and Reinhardt sat in the middle of the podium, one on the left and the other on the right, followed by Brauchitsch and senior officials at all levels.

Eric likes this kind of pomp and circumstance very much, not to bluff people, the key is that this kind of occasion can boost morale and build morale. This is the same as the social work team and the propaganda team he formed, but the scale is different.

One of the most shocking parts of the ceremony was the soldiers' drill, which was a blood-pumping scene when more than 10,000 ground crews shouted in unison and performed in unison.

When Eric announced the formation of the Baltic Fleet and presented the flag to Fleet Commander Tirpitz, all the warships on the dock sounded their whistles at the same time as a salute.

Officials at all levels and officers and men of the National Defense Forces who participated in the grand flag-awarding ceremony saluted the national flag and the naval flag amid the solemn national anthem. At this sacred moment, the warships of the Baltic Fleet were ready for battle, and after the battle alarm sounded, the sailors' usual training quality was immediately vividly reflected. Watching them skillfully operate a variety of advanced instruments, Eric was very satisfied and praised them.

At 10 a.m., all the battleships left the dock in turn under the command of the flagship and sailed for the wide waters of Kiel Bay.

Tirpitz stood beside Eric, constantly switching formations on the radio intercom. First, the battleships formed a single column to sail, and then they lined up in a horizontal column to march in unison. When dozens of warships turned in unison, the white waves raised by the propellers were like white lotus flowers in full bloom, attracting bursts of applause from the viewing platform.

After the surface ship exercise, the submarine force began to appear in front of everyone's eyes again, in the deep blue sea of Kiel Bay, these underwater ghosts that once terrified the enemy are now like a group of lovely blue whales, sometimes they go under the water together, sometimes rush out of the water together, their forwarding action is also very exciting, the voyage is also shocking, when they spew out the water column together, it is like silver fireworks, attracting the crowd on the pier to applaud in bursts of applause.

Eric sat on the podium, with a satisfied smile on his face, and while watching the ship's show, he still occasionally talked cordially with Hipper and Reinhardt around him.
