Chapter 502: Friction (I)

"Here's the schedule for this visit, and the list of follow-up personnel." Horst. Captain Young handed over a document to Eugene. Feng. Colonel Davidson. "Have you confirmed them all?" The colonel took a monocle from his pocket and clipped it to his right eye.

"Yes, there is the Führer's approval at the end, and I still need your signature here." Captain Young pulled out another document from his briefcase.

"What is this?" Colonel Davidson took the papers.

"The marshal's record of this week's meeting is for archiving." Captain Young replied lightly.

"I understand, administrative procedure." Davidson pulled a pen from his chest pocket and signed his name on the document's signature file.

The Colonel knew very well where this thing was going to end, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it had nothing to do with trust, the Colonel believed that certain procedures were necessary for national security reasons, including himself, and that all missions to Asia, including himself, were under the surveillance of the Imperial Counterintelligence Service, and every meeting and meeting that was not on the schedule would be recorded in detail.

"Thank you, sir." Captain Young put the papers back in his briefcase.

Horst. Yang didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave, and he stood respectfully beside the colonel with his briefcase.

"Any questions? Captain. Davidson took off his glasses and looked at the officer suspiciously.

"What does the marshal think of that report?" Horst. Yang asked in a whisper.

"Which report are you referring to?" Davidson raised an eyebrow.

"Feng. Captain Stauffenberg's report. Captain Yang glanced to the side of the hallway and turned his face to reply.

"Shocked, yes, very shocked." Colonel Davidson replied.

"Is it just shock?" Captain Young looked into the Colonel's eyes.

"He was also very angry, and the marshal was ready to personally negotiate with the Chinese government." Davidson replied.

"So—" Captain Young wanted to continue.

"That's enough, Captain, you're now inquiring about a high-ranking officer, I remember it's not within your purview, and I think I've told you enough." Davidson coldly interrupted Captain Young's question.

"I'm sorry, Colonel, I'm just curious, and I definitely won't do this in the future." Captain Yang respectfully apologized.

"I hope so, now you can go, Captain."

"Farewell, then, sir. Hi! Reinhart! Captain Yang raised his hand in salute.

"Hey! Reinhart! The colonel returned the salute.

"Kitten, this is the cat kennel, the signal is very good." A clear call from the base command post was heard over the radio.

"This is the kitten, everything is going well with the flight at the moment, no anomalies have been found, over." Shi Boru turned his face to look at the wingman behind him.

It was a BF109 painted scarlet in its entirety, and Sboru knew that there was another 109 on the other side of the plane at the moment, almost in the same position, but the plane's livery was sky blue.

"Kitten, this is the cat nest, you should be able to receive the signal from the DT7 navigation station, adjust the frequency to the third preset mode, and it's over." Orders were sent from the command post.

"The adjustment is complete, the signal is strong, please inform Lieutenant Colonel Dewar, we will arrive on time. Let him have that bottle of Bordeaux that has been treasured for five years ready and I will be happy to taste it with him. ”

"Okay, I'll tell Lieutenant Colonel Dewar, I'm sure he'll be glad to see you, over."

"Thanks, I think that's the same, cat litter." Smith turned the radio frequency to the inter-flight communication gear.

"White Three, how's the situation on your side?" Spellu turned to look at the red wingman.

"Very good, sir." Ensign Nemo's excited voice came from the headphones.

"White Four, where's your side?"

"Everything is fine, White One." Second Lieutenant Sara replied coolly.

Marshal Brumberg did not break his promise, and after returning to French Indochina from Chongqing, the Sbojou Flying Group soon received a new car.

It's just that when they rushed to the airport in high spirits, what they saw on the side of the runway was not the imaginary Focke Wolff, but a batch of brand-new Mercedes-Schmidt 109s that were still shining with paint and reflective.

"Your Fokker fighter is still being deployed by the Air Force, and it may take another month, so let's fly this kind of aircraft for the time being. Don't tell me you've forgotten how to fly her after only a few months. At the scene of the delivery of the aircraft, Major General Gluck, who had just been transferred from China, said jokingly.

Having said that, Shi Boru and her subordinates could only accept this fact, and out of respect for their superiors, they had to make a very satisfied appearance. Of course, these pilots did not forget how to fly the 109, in fact, the first effective results of many were achieved on this fighter.

However, this is no longer the Bruno or Emily they flew back then, but the latest improved model of the Air Force. As a result, the pilots had to learn from scratch how to fly the new aircraft.

To everyone's surprise, the new 109 had excellent performance, and while it wasn't as fast as the 190 in many technical parameters, with the right tactics, she was confident it could shoot down any fighter she'd ever seen, even the new Japanese model she encountered over Chongqing.

These planes were originally intended for the use of the French Colonial Air Force, and Petain spent a lot of money to extract fifty of them from the Luftwaffe order to replace the antiques of the Colonial Air Force.

The Type 406 fighter still has some combat effectiveness, and the rest is a pile of garbage that is only World War I-level.

Because of the lack of advanced tactical trainers, the technical level of the colonial pilots was also lackluster. The French colonial pilots did not lack the courage to fight, but if they were allowed to fly a kite into the sky, it is believed that no one with a brain would have the confidence to win.

The most direct enemy of the French Indochina Air Force was the Siamese Air Force across the western border.

The Royal Siam Air Force, which seems to be a very young force, did not separate from the army until 1937 and became an independent army. However, in terms of seniority, they were one of the first armies in Southeast Asia to enter the sky.

Many of the top brass of the Siamese military had received a Western-style education, so they were very receptive to new things, and when the world entered the aviation age, they quickly embraced Western ideas of air warfare.

Throughout the twenties, relations between France and Siam began to ease because of Siam's participation in the Allies in World War I. Perhaps in an effort to salvage relations between the two countries, the French generously provided Siam with their latest aircraft, and were also responsible for the training of fighter pilots.

But in the thirties, the famous coup d'état changed the political situation in Siam, Siamese nationalism began to rise, and relations between France and Siam took a sharp turn for the worse.

Siam no longer procured planes from the French, but set its sights on the Americans. The main equipment of the Siam Air Force is basically bought from the United States during that period.

The Royal Siam Air Force has now been renamed the Royal Thai Air Force, and it is very likely that it will be changed back to the current situation.

This air force, which is second to none in Southeast Asia, currently has more than 150 aircraft of various types, but most of them are biplanes that have completely outdated performance. For example, the O2U Corsair reconnaissance bomber of the Walter Company in the United States, the Royal Siam Air Force has 70 V93S modifications of this aircraft, and the S at the end of the number is the meaning of special for Siam.

They also have twelve Hawker III biplanes and twenty-four Hawker 75N fighters, which are currently the mainstay of the Siam Air Force's fighter force. Most of the pilots in the Siam Air Force were trained in Britain and Japan, because there was very close cooperation between the Siam Navy and the Japanese Navy, the Japanese side had trained 200 pilots for Siam, and the Royal Siam Navy had also purchased from Japan the water reconnaissance aircraft, submarines and surface warships that they urgently needed.
