"The two air clusters of the Imperial Air Force deployed in the South Seas and Australia must also be combat-ready. Although the aviation of the island country is not weak, it is only the Zero carrier-based fighter that is representative. Our BF-109 fighters, as well as the carrier-based BF-109 fighters, are no worse than the Zero carrier-based aircraft, not to mention the more powerful F-190 fighters. And, our engineers, have already found a way to deal with the Zero carrier-based fighter. I believe that our pilots will be able to deal with this fighter with super low-altitude dogfight performance. This will give us a great advantage in dealing with the carrier-based aircraft forces of the navy of the island countries! Qin Tian said.

The most famous fighter of the island nation in World War II is undoubtedly the Zero carrier-based fighter. Although the speed of this fighter is not very fast, it has excellent low-altitude dogfight performance and a very long range. This made them in World War II, another time and space, in the early days of the Pacific War, almost beat the American F4F fighters into dogs. So much so that many pilots of the US Naval Aviation did not dare to take to the skies to fight again. This situation was not changed until the F4U fighter entered service and the Americans found a way to deal with the Zero carrier-based fighter.

The advantages of the Zero fighter are mainly in low-altitude dogfighting. As long as you don't dogfight with them, it's easy to get rid of them. For example, the most classic tactic against the Zero is undoubtedly to use the advantage of speed and climb to dive from a high altitude. After completing an attack, use the speed and climb advantage to escape the pursuit of the Zero, and after reaching high altitude, continue to dive and attack. If the Zero keeps pursuing, their fuselage structure is not strong enough, which will cause it to fall apart. After all, in order to achieve an ultra-long range, the Zero fighter has made the material as lightweight as possible, so that its strength is not strong. This makes it very likely that the Zero will disintegrate in the air if it dives too fast. And, once hit, there is a high probability of being destroyed. Unlike the German fighters, a certain amount of armor was added to key parts to resist low-intensity attacks. Of course, there are no small reasons for these defects of the Zero fighter, which are the reasons for the insufficient engine performance of the island country. Otherwise, these defects can be solved.

For example, the Zero fighter uses only 950 horsepower, while the F-190 fighter has an engine of up to 1,550 horsepower, and the BF-109 fighter has an engine of up to 1,100 horsepower. Carrier-based fighters, because to further improve the strength of the fuselage structure, they need more powerful engines, so that the fighter can have a greater speed.

Almost all U.S. fighter planes are equipped with powerful engines. They even believe that as long as the power is strong, even a brick can fly into the sky. This can be seen from the appearance of the US military fighters, and they can be said to have taken this point of view to the extreme.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Both the 5th and 6th air clusters of the Imperial Air Force are ready for battle! If the islanders really dare to attack us, we will make them pay an unbearable price! "Albert? Marshal Kesselring said.

Qin Tian nodded, after he became the emperor of Germany, or before he became the crown prince of Germany, he paid special attention to the development of the air force. This has enabled the Luftwaffe to now be equipped with so many advanced fighters, and it is completely at the leading level in the world.

"By the way, Marshal Kesselring, how are the preparations for the strategic bombing of the Buenos Russians going?" Qin Tian asked.

To defeat Russia, it is necessary not only to destroy their armies on the battlefield, but also to strike at their industrial production capacity. In particular, the production side of the military industry. If it can destroy the ability of the Buffy Russians in this regard, it will be much easier for Germany to defeat the Buffaloes. After all, if there are not enough weapons and equipment, should those Russian soldiers be allowed to deal with the Germans with their bare hands? In that case, I'm afraid I will only be crushed by the German army. Therefore, Qin Tian has always attached great importance to the development of the strategic air force.

"Your Majesty, after months of preparation, we are almost ready to launch a strategic bombardment against the Russian Federation. In Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, we have built a large number of airfields for strategic bombers to take off. Now, those airports are ready for use. In terms of long-range fighters, BF-110 fighters have also accumulated enough numbers to provide escort for our strategic bombers. "Albert? Marshal Kesselring said.

Previously, the Luftwaffe had insufficient strategic bombers, and at the same time did not have enough long-range fighters. In addition, the airport and other related supporting facilities are not yet ready. As a result, the Luftwaffe's strategic bombing of Buenos and Russia has been dragged down.

Qin Tian nodded: "Then when can the strategic bombing start?" On what scale can we bomb the Russians? ”

"Your Majesty, we will be ready within a week at the latest. This time, we will dispatch 1,200 long-range strategic bombers to carry out strategic bombing of Burnia and Russia. Among them, 900 H-11 heavy long-range bombers and 300 H-21 heavy long-range bombers are included. "Albert? Marshal Kesselring said.

"It seems that the number of our long-range strategic bombers is still not enough!" Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty, at present only 1,200 H-11 heavy long-range bombers and 300 H-11 heavy long-range bombers in the Strategic Air Force have been discontinued, and now the production of H-21 long-range bombers is under power. Production is expected to reach a hundred per month. In addition, a more advanced H-31 heavy long-range bomber is also being developed. Mass production is expected to begin the year after next year at the latest. "Albert? Marshal Kesselring replied.

Although the cost of heavy long-range bombers is very high, this kind of bomber has a long range and a large bomb load, and is an indispensable main force in strategic bombing. Therefore, Germany is still desperately trying to make this huge weapon of war.

"The size of our heavy strategic bombers must be guaranteed to be at least three thousand. In this way, it can barely be enough. Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albert? Marshal Kesselring nodded.

If it wants to achieve the figure demanded by Qin Tian, then the Luftwaffe will need to further purchase more heavy long-range bombers. With the current shortfall, it will take a year and three months to meet the loss, not counting the losses. If the losses in the war were deducted, Germany would need to produce more heavy long-range bombers. To solve this problem, Albert? Marshal Kesselring knew that a way would have to be found to further increase the production of heavy long-range bombers.
