Does Li Lezhi know the losses of the Air Force? Of course Li Le knows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Not counting the various air force command meetings that Goering complained to him about before, even now, Goering is talking to Li Le about the loss of the air force.

"We have lost almost 700 planes in Britain, and a large number of good pilots have become prisoners of the British, or coffins." Goering looked at Li Le and said with some distress.

The Air Force is like his child, and every loss of the Air Force will make him feel a pain in his flesh. What's more, this time the losses are indeed a bit too huge.

The air raids that began on August 1 went through several different stages, which can be regarded as the different stages of the Luftwaffe's attack on Britain.

The beginning of the Battle of Britain was the ten-day period from August 1 to August 10. During this time, the Luftwaffe took it by surprise and achieved a huge advantage.

During these ten days, the Luftwaffe destroyed the radar stations of the British Air Force in one fell swoop, blew up a large number of important factories that were hidden, and severely damaged the industrial base in the south-east of Britain.

Subsequently, from August 11 to August 25, the Luftwaffe began repeated bombing to consolidate its operational success, during which there was a pause due to weather conditions, but on the whole, the Luftwaffe still had a huge advantage.

Then, the British Air Force was forced to fight the Battle of London under unfavorable circumstances, and the time came around September 5, when the losses of the German and British air forces began to rise.

Then, taking advantage of the data leaked by British fighters, the Luftwaffe began to gain air combat superiority, which eventually kept the RAF under bay.

In the following stage, the British Royal Air Force began to passively avoid the war, and more and more of the Luftwaffe were lost under the British anti-aircraft artillery, until now.

Although the war situation has been repeated, the Luftwaffe has always occupied the initiative and advantage, but with the increasing number of ground anti-aircraft firepower, this advantage is also shrinking.

"Because the other links are not ready, we can only let the Air Force stick to this mode of operation." Li Le looked at Goering, as well as Marshal Kesselring, who rushed back from the front, and said helplessly.

"My Führer, the losses are getting bigger, which makes the spirit of the Air Force pilots begin to fluctuate, and this is not good news...... "Kesselring, who has just returned from the front, has more say in this.

"I also know that there is a lot of pressure on the Air Force at the moment on the air strikes against the UK. I don't plan to let the Air Force continue to be consumed like this for a long time......" Li Le was also very depressed when he heard the losses of the Air Force.

Before, when he was playing games on paper or in another world, he was not sensitive to those losses and sacrifices.

But when these losses are really placed in front of me, after being constantly emphasized and mentioned, the feeling is different.

He also gradually understood what more than 600 aircraft meant to the Luftwaffe, and how much a loss 1,000 pilots of all kinds was for the Luftwaffe.

Suffice it to say, from Poland to France in one go, to pacify Norway and occupy Denmark, all the battles that swept across Europe combined, the German pilots lost this figure......

Under these circumstances, the Battle of Britain alone doubled the number of planes and pilots lost by the Germans, a huge loss that was simply unbearable.

"My Führer, you have always been very knowledgeable about air combat, and you can see it from your understanding of radar and aircraft performance." Kesselring thought for a moment, and then spoke so persuadly.

He glanced at the Führer in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before continuing: "So, I think you can understand what such a huge loss means for the Luftwaffe. ”

In order to persuade the Führer to temporarily stop the massive bombing of Britain, Kesselring played the emotional card while at the same time exaggerating the losses of the air force.

Although the Luftwaffe had lost more than 1,000 pilots (and some were captured), the number of novice pilots that the Germans had replenished to the front line was far greater than that.

Thanks to Goering's unremitting efforts and Li Le's strong support, the Luftwaffe is planning to train 30,000 pilots, which is much more than the loss.

At the same time, the German plant, which accelerated production, supplied the Luftwaffe with 950 fighters of various models during this time.

This number includes a wide range of models, with the most numerous additions being the ME-109E fighter and the new FW-190 fighter.

Therefore, even after the brutal British air battle, the number of German bombers has shrunk except for the outdated and backward DO-17 and HE-111, and the rest of the aircraft models have increased slightly compared with before!

Because the DO-17 bomber was discontinued, the losses were completely replaced by the more advanced JU-88 bomber.

The number of HE-111 bombers, the largest number of German troops, has also been decreasing in the bombing of Britain, and it has been replaced by the more comprehensive and better JU-88 bomber.

In other words, the strength of the Luftwaffe was actually growing at a high rate, and while the number of fighters increased, it also had more than twice as many mature pilots as in the same period in another time and space.

Although it seems that the existing combat capability of the Luftwaffe has not been enhanced much, in the subsequent expansion, the air force can arbitrarily increase the number of aircraft, and there is no limit, this is the real improvement!

But in order to play the emotional card, Kesselring also avoided the important and lightened it: "The loss of hundreds of planes, many people have not been able to come back...... In this case, the morale of the pilots has deteriorated very much......"

"Hold on! For the victory of the Empire! Gotta stick with it! Li Le looked at Kesselring and said word by word.

He frowned, walked up to Goering, reached out and patted Goering on the shoulder, and then looked at Kesselring: "The Air Force is a unit I trust, a loyal unit!" You must fight! Must persevere! ”

"My Führer, if there is your order, we will hold on......" Goering promised, his chin held high.

He was one of the first people to follow Hitler, and he was also a pilot who knew how to build the Air Force, but now he is the commander of the Air Force.

In Goering's view, the main reason why the Air Force was able to flourish in his hands was because the Air Force, as a newly established branch of the army, had absolute loyalty to the Führer.

This is an advantage that the army cannot match in any way, and he cannot afford to lose it. Compared to the Army's traditional, rules-based antiques, the Air Force is dynamic and aggressive enough.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Le brought up the meaning of loyalty and trust, Göring could only stand up without hesitation.

Of course, standing up is coming forward, but how to stand up, Goering still has a sense of proportion.

Therefore, the commander of the Luftwaffe opened his mouth and suggested to Li Le: "My Führer, it is precisely because of the loyalty of the Air Force that we cannot let these excellent and valuable pilots die in vain. ”

He said to Li Le step by step: "In this case, based on our past experience, adopting new technologies and using the latest science and technology to gain advantages will make the situation favorable to us......"

"Technology?" Li Le, who has strengthened technology, actually understands technology better than strategy, so when Goering mentioned technology, Li Le also became interested.

Li Le did not know what kind of anti-natural technology Goering had in his hands, maybe it was newer engines, maybe it was new aircraft design technology - these were very welcome by Li Le.

"My Führer, the technical department of the Air Force is developing a new weapon in Penemünde, but the progress is not fast because of the low financial investment and the lack of urgency of the demand." Goering raised his secret weapon, and the sparkle in his eyes lit up.

He talked endlessly at Li Le, and the expectant look in Li Le's eyes had completely disappeared - he probably guessed what Goering's so-called new weapon was.

Goering didn't seem to see Li Le's disappointment, and continued to sell his new weapon: "My Führer, if you support this project, we can launch an attack on the British without using planes!" ”

Yes, the secret weapons that Goering is talking about are the V1 and V2 missiles, which are still in the development stage - although they are early missiles, they are still a missile......

It sounds like a lofty name, but at least today, missiles have become the first choice for countries to show force and attack other countries.

But in the 1940s, this thing was indeed a new technology, so new that even reliability could not be guaranteed, and the accuracy of hitting was infinitely close to zero.

Although the technology is good technology and the idea is also a good idea, it is a pity that due to time constraints, this weapon is destined to become the most glorious pages of the weapons of the end of the Third Reich......

In later generations, many people who admired Germany's doomsday technology will be extremely happy to treasure these secret weapons: missiles were played by the Germans first! Jets were played first by the Germans! Vertical take-off and landing aircraft too, and modern submarines were also their first ......

However, these people do not know that many such "black technologies" have wasted the precious resources of the Third Reich and dispersed the already small scientific research strength of the Third Reich.

"The new weapon is propelled by rockets, which is fast and difficult to intercept! We will soon be able to carry out a massive air raid on the British mainland day and night without losing a single soldier......" said Goering, a smile of excitement on his face.

However, Li Le kept complaining in his heart: What you said is really good, but unfortunately the development progress of this thing is seriously lagging behind, and when we use it in 1944, the Allies have hit the doorstep! Kiss!
