In fact, when he heard Kessellin's report just now, although Chen Yanlong felt a little annoyed after being woken up by others, he was still very happy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But even so, he was very serious about beating Kesselring's excitement first, and then giving some good to make up for the lesson he had learned today.

Because Chen Yanlong remembers very clearly that there is a piece of pilot training called Shrinkage on the later Internet, which describes the training of German pilots in the late stage of World War II in this way: "Since the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front, the high battle loss rate of the Luftwaffe units has made flight training institutions find that they cannot meet the supplementary needs of the front line at all; In the first six months of the offensive, the Luftwaffe suffered a total of about 2,200 casualties in various theaters of operations due to various reasons; Over the next six months, however, the Luftwaffe suffered a similar number of casualties. ”

In early 1942, many Ju52s, which belonged to the German C-class training school, instrument flight and bomber training school, were sent to the Russian front to support the local transport forces and provide airlift supplies for the German troops encircled in Dimyansk and Kholm. Due to battle damage and a shortage of front-line troops, many flight instructors and aircraft never returned to their home training schools. Air operations later that year (in conjunction with the German offensive on the southern flank of the Eastern Front) led to a lack of aviation fuel for the entire Luftwaffe, which had a negative impact on the flight training school. ”

In the end, the lack of sufficient flight instructors, suitable trainers, and aircraft fuel derailed the training of Luftwaffe bombers and reconnaissance aircraft crews. In the short term, the Luftwaffe still had a surplus of pilots trained in A/B training schools, and although these personnel were still well trained, during the same period, the Air Force Combat Replenishment Corps began to lack additional crews (i.e., pilots who had completed C-level and specialized school training) who had completed all their training. ”

In July 1942, General Kuhl, head of the Air Force Training Department, reported to Goering that the lack of personnel and equipment had led to a desperate situation in the operation of the C-class training school. And the Reich Marshal, as usual, replied lightly: he had ordered the dissolution of the C-level training school, and its training functions were entrusted to the supplementary training troops! ”

"And this has proven to be beyond the capacity of the latter, who do not have enough aircraft and instructors to cope with the large number of trainees who have been transferred in. As a result, the training supplementary unit assigned a large number of trainees to the flight combat brigade for training. As a result of this chaotic training situation, the standard of training for the crews of German bombers and long-range reconnaissance aircraft was so low that the effectiveness of the combat units began to be reduced. ”

"In 1943, the new training director, Lieutenant General Kreper, succeeded in delaying the deterioration of the Air Force training apparatus, but introduced short-term glider courses; Improvements such as providing flying experience for novices will not solve the problem of a shortage of good instructors, modern aircraft, and, above all, fuel shortages. ”

"By the beginning of 1944, German fighter pilots had only 160 flight hours of training before joining the combat forces, less than half the flight training hours of fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force."

"During the first half of 1944, the Luftwaffe's daytime fighter unit suffered heavy losses in the face of well-trained American escort pilots, and the American P-51 Mustang fighters were comprehensively superior to the best German fighters in service at that time, during which time about 2,000 pilots of the Luftwaffe's native air defense units were killed, missing, or wounded."

"The Luftwaffe training establishments tried to compensate for such heavy losses by providing a similar number of novice pilots to replenish battle losses, but this led to a vicious circle: the untrained replenishment pilots were unable to stand up to their opponents and suffered heavy losses, and in order to make up for the losses on these fronts, the more untrained novices were sent to the front, and the gap between their technical experience and that of the Allied pilots was even greater."

"In the late spring of that year, with the disbandment of the B-class flight training school, the Air Force's training standards fell further. Now German fighter pilots had only 112 hours of flight time before being sent on combat missions, 2 hours of glider flight training at Class A flight schools, and 50 hours of powered flights on junior trainers, 40 hours at fighter specialized schools and 20 flight hours in fighter replenishment groups. ”

In addition, the Germans implemented a program known as the "Greyhound", which provided former bomber pilots with 20 hours of crash training in fighter flights; They were immediately integrated into the fighter unit, and as a result, these men were almost defenseless against enemy fighters. ”

Finally, in September 1944, the Luftwaffe flight training institution suffered a fatal blow, because the Allied strategic air raids led to the collapse of the German synthetic fuel industry as a whole; The production of aviation fuel could no longer meet the needs of the Luftwaffe, and its flight activities had to be curtailed. In such extreme circumstances, the flight training school that has been at the end of the Air Force system cannot operate for long. First of all, the primary flight training and many specialized training schools were closed, and after the last batch of trainees passed the training, the fighter training schools were also closed and disbanded, and their flight instructors were sent to fight on the front lines. By February 1945, the Luftwaffe pilot training facility ceased to exist by any measure. ”

It was precisely because Chen Yanlong was answering Kesselring's phone that he suddenly remembered this later online article that he couldn't help but feel in crisis; So for a while, the tone of his speech towards Kesselring became harsh and harsh.

"Whew! It's really annoying! It is only now that I am reminded that the German army will have to solve its shortage of good pilots in the days to come; And the possibility of the closure of training schools, and one of the most scarce military supplies of the German army, whether it is a tank unit or an air force, is oil ---- oil! ”

"Ahhhh How come I woke up with so many troublesome problems waiting for me to solve! Oh my God! Do you want me to live! ”

The more he thought about it, the more irritable Chen Yanlong couldn't help but say angrily.

But after he finished venting, his heart gradually calmed down and he tried to find a way to solve the problem he had just thought of.

However, before thinking about the solution, Chen Yanlong still washed his face to get rid of his drowsiness; I went back to my room and thought about it while eating breakfast.

"At present, most of Germany's oil is obtained from Romania, so the oil fields there must find a way to ensure that they will never be blown up by the British and American air forces and seized by the Soviet army! Luckily, even if I lose the oil fields there, I can still use my exchange mall to exchange for oil! ”

"It's just that pilots, especially those who have been trained to be qualified, and excellent pilots, can't be redeemed in the mall! This question is really a headache for me! What should I do to have a large number of reserve pilots? If there are not enough pilots, no matter how many advanced planes I have, they will all be scrapped, and it will be useless at all! So how else can I fight the bombing and air raids of the British and American air forces! ”

Chen Yanlong, who was slowly eating vegetarian food, thought bitterly.

"Boom! Knock, knock......"

Just when he couldn't think of a good way to train more pilots in the shortest possible time, there was a soft knock on the door outside his room.

"Hmmm! Who? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong stopped eating and asked.

"It's me, Führer!"

As soon as the words fell, Moder's voice responded.

"Oh! What's the matter with coming to me so early? Moder! ”

After hearing that it was Moder's voice, Chen Yanlong hurriedly asked.

"Manstein and the other commanders of the Eastern Front have arrived at the werewolf headquarters; I am in the conference room, waiting for your reception from the Führer! ”

Moder hurriedly said what he meant.

"Hmmm! I see, you tell them to wait a while, I'll have some breakfast and I'll be there right away! ”

Chen Yanlong thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes! Monarch! ”

Modell responded immediately.

Then he respectfully turned around and left, leaving Chen Yanlong alone to continue dining.

After Martin Bowman was imprisoned by Chen Yanlong, Chen Yanlong did not immediately appoint a new secretary general to serve him.

Although he hired the German beauty Orlando Nill as his new secretary, he did not bring her to the Eastern Front this time.

Therefore, for the time being, the matter of ventilating him will be handed over to Modell.

Of course, Moder only temporarily replaced him for a few days, because he was a general who was going to the front line to fight, so it was impossible for him to be a messenger for a long time.
