Yes, the Air Force was taken seriously and became an independent branch of the armed forces, no longer as a department under the army establishment.

First Minister of the Air Force...... Also known as the Chief, the candidate is Ruprecht. Maria. Lyutpod. Ferdinand. Usually the longer the name, the more prominent the background, and this person with such a long name is undoubtedly a big man, he is the former commander of the 6th Army and the current Bavarian Crown Prince ~ Prince.

The Kaiser used a bad enough reason to emphasize that he should no longer stay at the front and lose his position as commander of the 6th Army. He then returned to Bavaria, where he was supposed to enjoy his life in peace and quiet until the defeat of Germany, and not only the Kaiser, but also the German kingdoms.

Now, the brother with a long name is suddenly active again, and he became the chief of the Air Force and became the direct boss of Richie.

The general who took over as the first director of the Air Force Department was an acquaintance of Li Qi and a nobleman. That's right, that man would be Hans. Feng. Seckert!

There is a little story about the big brother of Litch who will be transferred back to Berlin. Feng. Seckert served on the Eastern Front and served as the liaison between the Second German Reich and the Austro-Hungarian armies.

As allies, relations between the Second German Reich and Austria-Hungary were not so good, especially in terms of the deployment of some wars...... Or, to put it more bluntly, the big contradiction.

Hans. Feng. The reason why Seckert was "thrown" to the newly established Air Ministry was because he had a conflict with the army generals on the Austro-Hungarian side on some matters, and it was an irreconcilable contradiction. This is embarrassing, because he himself served on the Eastern Front in order to mediate the contradictions, but instead of performing his duties well, he went into battle bare-armed, and in order to alleviate the contradictions, the Kaiser could only make necessary substitutions.

Li Qi wanted to become the founder of the German Air Force, and the plan went bankrupt before it could be implemented, which really disappointed him. However, the fact that the Air Department has a marshal as its chief is too good for all those who serve in the Air Department to be too good to be good.

What is the most direct manifestation of this? It's Hugo. Schpeyler and William. Keitel's two directors have come back to life from their atrophied state, as if they had taken some stimulants. Then, the Air Ministry was no longer "committed" to a corner of the War Office building, and they had their own office building on the main road of Brandenburg.

In addition to having an independent office building, the Air Force, which originally had two or three kittens, began to act like an independent department, and civilian personnel who should be in place continued to come to report, and Bing's office equipment and furniture finally no longer used the outdated goods of the War Department.

At present, there are very few people in the world who know about the new weapon of the aircraft, and it is slowly learned how to understand it and apply it in the war, so what is it? As the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, the long-named prince ~ prince of Bavaria is a layman; Because of political factors, he was "lost" to the first director of the Air Ministry, Hans. Feng. Seckert was also a layman; Hu Ge. Schpeyler and William. Keitel is slightly better, they know the basics of airplanes, but it's an absolute lie to say how much they know.

"So are you sure it should be like this?" The 48-year-old Bavarian King ~ Prince does not look old, he is in good spirits and loves the military career, especially because he seems to have met a new toy when he became the chief of the Air Force. He looked excited: "That's right, some of your previous ideas and arrangements are already working. ”

What the prince ~ prince with a long name said is that Li Qi adjusted the orders of various aircraft factories, and he took out the achievements and battle losses of the Fokker on the battlefield, and with great difficulty persuaded a large group of people who won the profits, and increased the orders for the Fokker E-III and D-VII, and the answers handed over by the two fighters were also twelve points gorgeous.

By the way, in return for the increase in orders, Anthony . Herman. Gerrard. Fokker was not stupid, and he gave 50 E-IIIs and 20 D-VIIs to the Air Department in the name of donations.

The Fokker D-VII was probably not mass-produced until the end of 1917, and it appeared as a counterweight to the French "Newport 28. C1 type", to change the weakness of Germany in air combat.

Before placing the order, Li Qi had already verified that it was not that Fokker had not yet designed the D-VII, but because it was not taken seriously and even suppressed, and as a result, this fighter was not allowed to enter the service sequence of the German Air Force.

In February 1917, after the French government retreated to the south, the Germans temporarily stopped the offensive after an attack that did not achieve the desired goal, and instead began to sweep the north and northwest of France, capturing Cherbourg on December 28, 1916.

As a new year, the Second German Reich was still not sure that the Allies would be able to break through the newly constructed "Bordeaux Line" and had been accumulating the necessary forces for the offensive.

First of all, the most advantageous thing is that Tsarist Russia is in civil strife, and it seems that the chaos is not ordinarily small. The gray cattle on the front line, who repeatedly refused the officers' orders to attack, and there was a lot of infighting for this. Then, a series of uprisings broke out in Tsarist Russia itself due to the lack of living materials.

The emperor of the Second German Empire, the neurotic Wilhelm II, laughed heartily when he knew that there was chaos in Tsarist Russia, and made the famous "death knell speech". He did not know that the death knell sounded for the Tsar would also become the last note for him, the Kaiser and many other kings.

The United States, a country in the "New World", was busy recruiting troops and then sending its navy to participate in the blockade of the Second German Reich. However, it has to be said that only some German submarines are active in the ocean, and the German surface ships have long become the "existence fleet" docked in the harbor.

According to the inference of the General Staff Headquarters, the United States would not be able to transport troops to Britain until the end of 1917 at the earliest, so what the Germans should do before that was to capture the French land in the direction of Britain and then build a sufficiently long coastal defense. They believed that as long as they could build a battle line along the coastline defended by the heavy artillery of the fortress, they would be able to sit back and relax.

Following this line of thought, the Germans began to gather forces in preparation for the Battle of Podol on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were constantly advancing in the direction of northwestern France at the cost of necessary casualties.

As a new independent department, the Air Force has become a major pillar of the Air Force because the chief and the first director are laymen. In order to cooperate with the army, he ran back and forth between Berlin and the front line, not only to understand the progress of the battle on the ground, but also to communicate with the generals on the front line, and more importantly, to better negotiate with the colleagues who had just been transferred to the ranks of the air force.

In fact, everything can be solved by telegraphs from a distance, but whoever makes the chief of the air force with a long name think that the telegram is not safe, on the grounds that Germany can intercept the telegram of the Entente and decipher it, then the Entente must also be able to intercept the German telegram and decipher it. In this way, only Richie, who looks very young, has hard work.
