The lead bomber began to circle around the perimeter of the airfield, waiting for the follow-up planes to join the formation, and the whole take-off procedure went smoothly, and the first team spent ten minutes to complete the air marshalling of each team.

As a result of gaining the favor of the German Führer, the JU88 bomber has become the absolute main force of the British air campaign, as the product of the Germans' crooked technology tree, its speed and handling comprehensively surpassed the bulky and sluggish Heinkel, and it was very outstanding in survivability.

Fortunately, Xu Jun controlled the development of the Air Force, which broke back the thinking of the Ministry of Aviation in advance, and those projects that opened up to the sky were cut mercilessly, and he would only choose the design scheme that was proven by history to have a promising future.

Xu Jun's decision was full of purpose, now the primary goal of the German army is to expand the armament war, every force has to be spent on the edge of the knife, there is no extra resources for that group of genius designers to lose.

Before World War II, the attitude of the German Nazi government towards the domestic military industrial enterprises has always been balanced and compromised, Hitler before he completely mastered the national armed forces, he has been showing that the group of blood-sucking capitalists has been detached, he needs the financial and personal help of those people, and is worried that he will be held hostage by the other party's anti-customer, he despises those arms dealers who have no morality and bottom line, but if you want to win the support of the German military, you must get the support of these military industrial families.

In order to keep those enterprises afloat, Germany has been playing the trick of equalizing the interests of arms procurement, and unless it is specifically noticed by His Excellency the Führer or a powerful leader, the arms manufacturing companies that have basically supported the Nazis will be rewarded by the Nazi Party. The policies of the Nazi Party were related to the domestic situation in Germany at the time, and these enterprises had in fact formed a huge network of interests, and any break in one link would trigger a small social crisis.

The Nazi government's finances appeared to have been profitable on the surface, as if Hitler's economic policies were working. But what really worked was the impetus behind the resurgence of the arms oligarchs, into which Hitler and his Nazi Party had long since been tied up.

Hitler was admired by the German people not only because of the Nazi ideology he preached and his personal charisma, but also because of the benefits he could bring to every German.

A look at the Luftwaffe's equipment table shows that a large number of models with mediocre performance and vague use are the result of a compromise between the two sides, and of course there must be some behind-the-scenes deals involved. From the perspective of Europe and the United States, this may be a product of free competition. But anyone who understands the nature of the Nazi system can see at a glance that it is a trick.

Now Xu Jun is ready to reverse these shortcomings in domestic military production and procurement, and he has enough confidence and strength to eliminate all obstacles. On these issues, he has been fully embraced by the army, navy and air force, and he has an advantage over Hitler, not only does he have sufficient contacts and wealth, but also has a large number of advanced technologies and patents that can be exchanged for benefits with those companies.

The Junkers were the simplest to restructure, and by this time the company had been fully taken over by the Nazi government, so it was far more convenient to turn around than Krupp and Rheinsteel. The 501 Bomber Wing used one of the achievements of Xu Jun's involvement in the production of Junkers, and only 10 pre-production models of this model were produced in history, and it is known as the most beautiful one in the JU88 family. The result was the JU188, which was built on her basis.

Sitting in the egg-shaped cockpit without edges, Lieutenant Colonel Maiko leisurely looked out the window at the scenery, now that the plane had climbed to an altitude of four thousand meters, he could already vaguely see the edge of the English Channel.

"Heading 030, turn to 035, the strait ahead, switch to frequency 3, we should be able to contact the Calais navigation station." The lieutenant colonel gave the order through the microphone in his mask. He was used to speaking into the microphone instead of pressing the throat intercom, and the sound quality was much clearer than the latter's new microphone.

"Understood." Ensign Fillm adjusted the radio FM button. Start an outbound call.

By this time, the Luftwaffe had improved their navigation procedures and were no longer using the same jamming civilian navigation technology as it had historically been. The improvement of radar equipment has improved Germany's ground monitoring capability, and the upgrading of radio equipment has made it possible to provide ground guidance throughout the process.

Originally, the long-range radio technology of the Luftwaffe had always had various shortcomings, coupled with the confusion of the air force command system and the wrong understanding of the development of technology and equipment, resulting in the fact that most of the German flight teams could no longer be controlled by the ground command after taking off. After the pilots took off, they basically became harriers with broken lines, and most of the reasons why the air force behaved like a mess in the early stage of the Norwegian campaign came from this.

Historically, the Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses in British air battles because of this reason, because of the limited performance of the radio station, German planes could no longer receive any ground instructions after flying over the center line of the channel, and they could only rely on their own eyes for navigation and early warning. As a result, most of the planes were only slightly injured, but because they lost their way, they had to make a forced landing on British soil.

Germany's navigation problems have been criticized by pilots, the number of navigation stations is scarce, the signal is also susceptible to external interference, often intermittent, especially in rainy weather, that is a matter of human life, once the compass fails again at this time, the pilot can only follow the feeling and resign himself to fate.

Xu Jun's arrival exposed these problems to the High Command, and historically, because Goering concealed all this, it led to a unanimous misjudgment of the High Command. However, due to time problems, Xu Jun did not have time to completely solve all the defects, but the air force pilots could clearly feel that the problem had begun to be alleviated.

A series of navigation stations have been set up along the coast of France, as well as a number of high-power communication base stations. Pilots can already use the old model of radio to receive immediate orders from the command, no longer the previous kind of blind eyes after going to the sky, and under the warning of German radar, it is impossible for British planes to launch a sneak attack as in history.

At the same time, the Luftwaffe escort fighters were allowed to freely choose whether to attack or not when they encountered enemy aircraft, and with the technical strength of German fighter pilots, they could easily gain the upper hand in air combat after being unrestrained. The Air Force's fighter units have become remote-controlled versions of the air killers, and they can easily find the enemy as long as they follow the instructions of the radio station. At the same time, their air combat tactics have been improved, and pilots who have been informed of the latest performance of enemy aircraft are now familiar with the character of British fighters, and will no longer be able to strike long and short as they have done in history.

Towards noon, there were already swarms of bombers flying over the Strait towards the British, the largest of which contained at least three full wings. The 53rd Bomber Wing's square array stood out, with their HE111 bombers spewing gray-white-black polychrome camouflage, the latest livery to match the field airfield's grey steel runway.

The JU88B bomber group did not join the other bombing formations, and this time their mission was somewhat special, so the air team grouped them separately.

At this time, a fighter squadron of JG26 had joined them, and these 109s had abandoned the yellow nose paint and instead sprayed black and white identification strips on the wings, and the 26th wing on the side of the cockpit had a black S shield on a white background shining in the sun.

These aircraft are the latest modification of the 109E, and if they pass the test, they may be put into production, but there are reports that the Führer has new plans, which may also be the last Emile, which is a transitional model of the new model.

The shape of the engine fairings of these aircraft has been significantly changed, and it appears to be more slender and sleek, especially since the wing tips have been modified to be curved instead of the distinctive right angles that you are used to.

"I don't know how they perform, but they look a lot prettier than Amir." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko tilted his head to look at the escort fighter dangling seven or eight meters above him, and he could even make out the serial number on the auxiliary fuel tank attached to the belly, the guy obviously wanted to show off his handling skills.

"Gentlemen, now we are England below us. For many of you, this is your first time in combat since joining the army, so I want you to be vigilant at all times and accept instructions from the captain at all times. The Wing Commander reached out and gently rested his hand on the throttle lever, adjusted the engine speed to the cruising standard, and the bombardier moved to the top of the nose, he knelt on the leather cushion, and began to look around with his hand on the MG81 machine gun on the nose gun mount.
