"Airplanes! We need planes to pin down the powerful air power of the Germans. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to stay here. Every day of the German air raids, we will bring unimaginable losses! Admiral Hamilton roared angrily.

Although, Churchill had promised him that he would give the Air Force full support for the Army's battle at Canterbury. However, the battle has already begun for three days. The planes of the Air Force did not even see a shadow. On the contrary, the British Army suffered heavy losses in the daily air raids of the German army. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before the morale of the troops will drop directly to a low point. When the time comes, how will you fight the Germans!

"Your Excellency Commander, those guys in the Air Force won't be afraid, right? In the previous air battle between France and the Germans, they had suffered a lot of losses. The combat effectiveness of the German planes is very terrifying! Admiral Haig said.

"In any case, the Air Force had to take to the skies to fight the Germans. If we had been constantly strafed and bombed by the Germans like this, we would have no way to fight this battle! Admiral Hamilton said with a dark face.

The guns of the battleships of the German Navy, which had already put them under great pressure. The planes of the German Army Air Corps went back and forth three or four times a day, constantly dropping bombs on the positions or cities of the British Army, further inflicting greater losses on the British Army. This made Admiral Hamilton almost furious.

The other British generals had to say no more. The German army did not advance fast every day, but their naval guns and aircraft were constantly inflicting losses on the British army. It's like slowly watching the British army bleed after a cut in the veins of the British army. If this continues, I'm afraid that if the Germans don't come to fight, they will all shed their own blood and die. In this battle, the British army no longer had the slightest chance of winning.

London, Royal Air Force Command. Because of the development of the war situation, the Royal Air Force was established a little earlier than in another time and space. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force now has full responsibility for all affairs of the Imperial Air Force, and is accountable only to the Prime Minister.

Now the strength of the Royal Air Force is also a little stronger than that of another time and space. The fierce battle has led to the development of science and technology in a blowout. However, the German Army Air Force and Naval Air Force that the Royal Air Force had to face now were much more powerful than in the other plane.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has just called and asked us to send planes immediately to reinforce the fighting in Canterbury! They were all about to collapse by the German planes. A major general reported to Admiral Trenchard.

"Those fools in the army, they are equipped with so many anti-aircraft weapons, are they all useless?" Admiral Trenhard, Chief of Staff of the Royal Air Force, said with some dissatisfaction.

The continuous development of air power has also accelerated the upgrading of air defense weapons. In order to counter the powerful German air power, the British Army was also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. It's just that no matter how powerful the ground air defense weapons are, it is undoubtedly very difficult to strike at air targets in the absence of precision-guided weapons.

"Who knows!" The major general shrugged helplessly.

"Looks like we can't get away! This is the third time that His Excellency the Prime Minister has asked us to play. If we don't say anything more, I, the chief of staff of the Air Force, will be doomed. Admiral Trenchard was a little helpless.

When the British mainland was attacked, it was not that he wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head, but that the Royal Navy was too weak compared to the powerful German air power. The fighters they used before have already proven to be no match for German fighters at all. Now their latest fighter is the 'Camel' fighter, which has just been mass-produced for a short time. The fighter can reach a maximum speed of 187 kilometers per hour, which is only a little slower than the F2 fighter jets equipped by the German Army Air Corps. In terms of other performances, although it is also a little worse. But if you face it again, you won't be shot down without even having the strength to fight back.

It's just that the number of such advanced 'camel' fighters is very limited, and the entire Royal Air Force is only equipped with more than 200 of them. The monthly output is only more than 100 aircraft. Admiral Trenchard regarded these precious planes as treasures.

Due to the blockade of the German Navy, Britain's domestic resources could no longer support the development of the military industry. Although they organized quite a few merchant ships and transports from North America to England. However, under the blockade of the German Navy, it was difficult for these merchant ships and transports to reach the British mainland, and nine times out of ten they would be sunk or captured by the German Navy. It can be said that it is completely for the Germans to deliver food.

However, the British government was reluctant to abandon this transport route. Because in this way, they will be able to get a little bit of supplies. If you give up, you really won't get any supplies.

The only thing the British government could do was probably to wait for their transport ships and merchant ships to be lost, in which case there would be no way.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, but our strength is too weak. If we take the risk of taking to the skies to engage the Germans, I am afraid that our planes will soon be lost. At that time, the skies of the British mainland will be completely reduced to the territory of the Germans, and there will be no more aircraft of the Royal Air Force. The major general sighed.

"There's no way around it! If we don't move again, the Army guys will be running out. When the time comes, they may blame us for the failure. At that time, we will really become scapegoats, and we will not be able to talk about our suffering. Admiral Trenchard's face was full of helplessness.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our 'Camel' fighter is no worse than the Germans. It's just that the number is too small. Wait a few more months, and we will have a few hundred more fighters, and we will have enough strength to confront the Germans. When the time comes, maybe we will be able to defeat the Germans in the skies of Britain and protect our skies. The major general persuaded.

Admiral Trenchard shook his head: "The Germans won't give us that much time. A few months later, perhaps the army had already been defeated. When the time comes, the whole of the British Isles will be under the control of the Germans, will the Royal Air Force continue to exist? That's obviously impossible. ”

Admiral Trenchard is obviously not very optimistic about the next battle situation.
