Li Qi is only the director of blending, not the director of production or the first director.

In addition, it is said that it is the Air Force Department, which is actually linked to the War Department.

If you still don't understand, then you can understand everything by looking at the ranks of the Air Ministry.

Hu Ge. Junkers did not have a military rank, he was just an administrator, and he became the first director only because he knew the aircraft very well and built the first wind tunnel in Germany! He was only a nominal superintendent and did not usually go to the Air Force office of the War Department.

The highest-ranking officer in the Air Force department is Li Qi, who is a major, and his rank is still infantry major.

How many marshals were there in the Second German Reich? Majors in the army are not thousands but hundreds, especially infantry majors more!

And how many marshals are there in the Navy? The Lieutenant is also qualified to be a destroyer's first mate in the Navy.

Air force? The Air Force is not an independent department, it is hung under the War Department!

To put it bluntly, the Air Force has no powers of its own, it is a new and seemingly promising branch of the military, but it has always been excluded from the top.

It is precisely because Li Qi is the highest-ranking officer in the Air Force that Fokk's side naturally wants to look for him, but it is estimated that even Fock's side understands that a major cannot reverse anything. If it weren't for the fact that Fokker knew that Li Qi was very appreciated by some marshals and generals, it is estimated that he would not even look for it?

Richie sent off the manager of Fokker and returned to the office to meet William. Cole was still there, asking, "What about Adolf?" ”

Adolph. Hitler was now a sergeant, or how could he say that it was important to be with the right people? In the first two years of the war, he repeatedly risked his life, and only climbed to the corporal after he made meritorious achievements, waiting for the death of the regimental commander who admired him, but he was still a corporal after the war.

William. Cole didn't ask Adolf. What did Hitler do, he was only responsible for getting people in.

"Adolf, I need your help."

"Yes, sir, please."

"I need a list of the aircraft produced by Fokker, their record on the battlefield and their losses."

"It's ....... Sir, I probably can't do it alone. ”

"You can ask Joseph to help."

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

Adolph. Hitler is gone, and he is now the first secretary of this office, and the second secretary is Joseph. Corporal Dietrich.

Look, this is the Air Force Department under the War Department, and Li Qi is a dispatch director, but the people under him are all brought by himself. He learned that William. Keitel and Hugo. This is also the case with Sexpler.

However, it must be understood that this is an improvement, because before that, the War Department did not have a separate air force department at all, and only on the side of the General Staff Headquarters there were a group of staff officers with relatively low ranks, who existed as the planning and planners of the battlefield, and did not care about things such as placing orders.

"Major."

Almost Richie went to Hugo separately. Spehler and William. Keitel, they came first.

Hu Ge. Spayler is a big man, he definitely looks like he is over 1.9 meters, and he has a relatively muscular figure. He was the first to salute Richie, and then stood quietly.

William. Keitel is also a man of considerable build, but he looks very capable.

The older one is William. Keitel's 34-year-old, Hugo. Spayler is 31 years old. The object of their salute was very young, as Li Qi was only 19 years old.

Although Li Qi was young, he was not despised because almost all the places on his uniform could wear medals, especially the Blue Max medal, which is very revealing. None of the people who can be awarded the Blue Max Medal will have nothing to say in the army, especially if the person who is awarded the Blue Max Medal does not have the word "Feng" in their name.

Because the Air Force Division of the War Department had just been established, everything including the office had been moved from another place, and the three of them could only sit on a few slightly old sofas.

"Major, I spent a few days getting to know ......" William. Keitel frowned and said, "The number of planes we order from various companies is not proportional to our usual consumption. ”

Richie is the director of dispatch, and he only knows the current number of aircraft in the Air Force, and he does not necessarily guarantee that the number is accurate, because battle damage occurs all the time on the front line. He asked, "So, what is the quantity?" ”

William. Still frowning, Keitel said, "The total monthly order book is only 400 aircraft." ”

At present, the total number of German aircraft, including the number of battle losses and replenishment, is 7,480 aircraft. This is the number of aircraft that are being put into service on the Eastern and Western Fronts, of which there are only 110 bombers of various models of Gotha.

The number of monthly losses of the German air force on both fronts was more or less, at most an exaggerated 700 planes, and at least 150 planes per month could not be repaired due to battle damage or breakdowns.

True, an order of only 400 aircraft per month is not right, because in addition to replenishing the attrition at the front, a certain amount of storage is required.

This time, Li Qi also frowned, and he asked again: "So what is the peak period of orders?" ”

William. Keitel replied quickly: "The peak was in November last year, when it reached 1,100 aircraft. This number of orders continued for three months, until March of '16, when the number of orders began to gradually decline, only in June there were 800 orders, and from June onwards it was already only 400 orders per month. ”

In November last year, we were preparing for the Battle of Verdun, and in June this year, we were preparing for the Battle of the Somme, which is why the number of aircraft orders has increased.

"This is not true." Hu Ge. Shi Peile said angrily: "It may be that they all think that the war will be won soon, but why is this understanding? Don't we still have the British to deal with? ”

Li Qi was thinking, maybe it was not only the decrease in orders from Fokker's side, it should be the decline in orders from all aircraft manufacturers, but Fokker reacted first because of his sensitive identity?

"I'm aware of the problem, too." Li Qi took out the cigarette case, he took one for himself and put the cigarette case on the table, and then said: "What is the plan of the staff headquarters, it is not for us to interfere. What we need is to assess the development of the battle situation and then issue the number of orders that we think is appropriate, right? ”

Hu Ge. Schpeyler and William. Keitel consciously took cigarettes from the cigarette case that Li Qi put on the table, because the army is a place where class is important, and it is impossible for the commander to ask for cigarettes, but the commander puts down the cigarette case and pushes it over, once he does not smoke, he will not give face, especially in the first formal meeting.

Again, the Air Force Department is the grass creation, and what regulations, powers, and other things are still vague at all, and it is estimated that no one can say clearly.

William. Keitel and Hugo. Shi Peiler understood Rich's words as fighting for their department, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Then, I will find the first director, we should have such rights." Li Qi smiled, smiled very happily, and said: "We are the first officers of the Air Force department, and this department will be built and perfected by us!" ”
