Chapter 620: Air Combat Plan

After listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words, Yang Du asked: "President, in this way, we can only watch the Americans become the number one power in the world?" If this is the case, then sooner or later we will have to be hostile to the United States, after all, the Japanese are crippled, and there is no longer a place in the Pacific Ocean that separates us from the United States, and the Pacific Ocean, although wide, is nothing to two countries with strong navies."

Xiao Zhenlei smiled when he heard this: "Then what do you want?" Is there a way to stab the Americans in the back? Since this is the case, then you should use your brains to think of a way, haven't we Huaguo always been infighting and being an expert? Now that we and the United States are members of the Entente, within the Entente as a whole, we have fought with the United States to weaken the strength of the Americans. ”

Xiao Zhenlei's remarks made the members of the staff group very embarrassed, and some of the members of the staff group realized that Xiao Zhenlei wanted to transfer the internal contradictions to the outside, so that everyone could concentrate on the external situation, which was one of the best ways to transfer the internal contradictions, so many people praised Xiao Zhenlei's superb political skills.

Yang Shiqi first said: "President, although we can't directly deal with the United States now, we can borrow other forces, such as supporting Mexico, supporting opposition forces in the United States, and supporting colored people in the United States, mobilizing them against whites, and we can also create contradictions between the southern and northern conglomerates in the United States, so that they can fight against each other!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei clapped his palms and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Yang is really a ghost talent, and he can think of so many good methods in such a short time." It looks like we're going to have to set up a department for this, and I'm going to have some of you join in to plan and direct it."

Next, Xiao Zhenlei directly named him. Let a few staff and officials who like infighting join it, and the newly established department is called the United Front Work Agency for North American Affairs. Two officials who like infighting have joined this department, and in order to drag the United States back and find trouble, these people can only give up their prejudices and work together.

Italy, Milan.

Cai Guodong's Southeast Theater Commander's Headquarters is located here, and the reason why Cai Guodong set up the Theater Commander's Headquarters here is mainly to facilitate contacts with high-level military leaders such as Britain, France, and Italy.

The 31st and 46th Divisions, the vanguard of the Sixth Army Corps, had arrived in Italy one after another, and the Sixth Army Corps under the command of Huang Yingjie was transferred here mainly to strengthen the military strength of the British, French, and Italian armies in the Italian and Austro-Hungarian border defense areas, and if the situation permitted, they could also launch attacks on the German-Austrian defense lines. The supply of the army was all provided by Britain, France and Italy. After all, Huaguo is too far away from here.

As the commander of the Southeast Theater of Operations, Cai Guodong was able to command not only Wu Shiyou's First Army Corps and Huang Yingjie's Sixth Army Corps, but also Shen Shoukun's naval expeditionary fleet, as well as the three Chinese Air Force divisions that supported the British Air Force this time, with a total of more than 1,000 fighters.

In his office, Cai Guodong was standing in front of a huge map studying the current occupation, a huge map of Europe that included all of Europe, the Asia Minor Peninsula, most of Russia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. All areas occupied by the Central Powers are marked in blue, and the Allies' garrisons are marked in red.

The adjutant walked in with the folder and said, "General, just now the commander of the Huang Corps called and said that the 31st Division and the 46th Division have entered the rest area behind the defensive line. The Italian side demanded that we immediately enter the defense zone to change guards with the Italians, and the commander of the Yellow Army negotiated with the Italian military that the troops had just arrived and needed to rest and restore morale, but the Italian side was not reasonable at all, and repeatedly asked us to immediately order the troops to enter the defense zone and change the defense with their four divisions! ”

Cai Guodong immediately sneered when he heard this: "Hey." This Italian is really ridiculous, is it really easy to bully when we are not familiar with life? Our troops had just arrived, and the soldiers were tired. Of course, you need to rest, how can you immediately enter the defense line to arm? Moreover, Italy actually wanted to hand over the defense area of four divisions to two of us to arm. Do these guys have a problem with their brains? Tell Huang Yingjie that there is any problem for the Italians to come to me. Come on. You go and tell Huang Yingjie, don't pay attention to the requirements of the Italians, don't worry about the Italians, here to give Lao Tzu a little more courage, I heard that the Italian girls are very enthusiastic, one by one amorous or something, tell him that you can consider relaxing military discipline appropriately, after the war, Lao Tzu hopes that the soldiers will each bring a wife back! Inform the political training department that this matter should be grasped as a political figure, and the soldiers should be encouraged to pursue the girls here, there are more men and fewer women in our country, and there are tens of millions of men who beat singles, can't these bachelors get married for the rest of their lives? Since it can't be solved at home, let's find a way from abroad."

The adjutant couldn't hold back a smile and said uprightly: "Yes, general, I'll immediately contact the commander of the Huang Army and the political training officer!" ”

"Wait!" Cai Guodong stopped the adjutant and asked, "Where are the three divisions of the Air Force now?" ”

The adjutant said: "At present, a hundred have arrived in Porto, Portugal, two hundred in Rome, Italy, one hundred in Cairo, Egypt, one hundred in Tunisia, North Africa, and all the rest are still in Baghdad!" ”

Cai Guodong thought for a while and said to the adjutant: "Immediately upload my order, order all the fighters in Porto, Portugal and Rome, Italy to stop flying to Britain, and the fighters in Tunisia, Cairo and Baghdad rush to Porto and Rome respectively as soon as possible!" ”

The adjutant was surprised: "General, this ?????? The British side is urging in a hurry, we are not allowing the fighters to fly over to fight now, and the British are likely to blame it for this! ”

Cai Guodong waved his hand: "I know, I only have to arrange, you can do it immediately!" If the British come to me, let me know immediately."

"Understood!"

According to the results of the consultation with the British side, before April 10, at least one of the three air divisions of the Chinese air force supporting the British air force in the operation must arrive in Britain, but by April 12, the Chinese army had not yet arrived in Britain, which made Robertson, the chief of the British general staff, very annoyed, and he immediately sent a telegram to Cai Guodong's headquarters to question.

After receiving Robertson's telegram, Cai Guodong asked the telecommunications department to call Robertson back, and he told Robertson that he had a battle plan, and the air force was the main combat force, which was currently being implemented, but this required the cooperation of the British side, and if Britain was interested, it could send a person in charge of the air force to come over to discuss.

Cai Guodong's reply made the arrogant British angry, but for the sake of the overall situation, Robertson still endured, and he sent the commander of the British Royal Flying Corps, Trenchard, to Milan, Italy to discuss the battle plan with Cai Guodong. Britain had not yet made the Air Force a separate army at this time, and the Royal Flying Corps included all British fighters and pilots, and the Royal Flying Corps was also attached to the Army.

Trenhard is the father of the RAF in another time and space, this man is a doer and organizer, the reason why the RAF was able to form a separate army is the result of this man's continuous efforts, and he has been commanding the British Air Force in the war against Germany in World War I. Many of the pilots he trained after the war went on to become senior officers in the RAF.

After receiving Robertson's order, Trenhard decided to fly his fighter plane himself through part of the French airspace controlled by the Luftwaffe and detour to Portugal before flying from Portugal to Milan, Italy.

At this time, at the headquarters of the commander of the European Southeast Theater of the Chinese Army in Milan, Italy, Cai Guodong was talking with Luo Zelin, commander of the expeditionary air force.

Cai Guodong asked, "Xiao Luo, do you know why I ordered you to stop?" ”

Luo Zelin said: "Sir, in fact, our 100 fighters in Porto, Portugal have already been overhauled and refueled, and they can fly to the UK, but I didn't let them take off to the UK, even if the commander didn't give me an order, I was ready to come to see the commander in the next two days!" ”

Cai Guodong was surprised: "Oh? That's why I? Do you have any ideas? ”

Luo Zelin smiled: "I guess the chief must have something in mind, so after I received the chief's order, I put down what I was doing and rushed over immediately!" ”

Cai Guodong threw a cigarette to Luo Zelin and said, "Then tell me what you think first!" ”

"Yes!" Luo Zelin took the cigarette, thought for a while, and said: "Sir, judging from the current situation, if our fighters want to go to the UK, they can only transfer from Portugal for refueling and overhaul and then fly to the UK around the airspace of southwest France, but the carrying capacity of the airport in Portugal is too small, and it is already the limit to be able to accommodate our 100 fighters for refueling and maintenance. If we don't encounter enemy planes on the way, we can fly to Britain with the range of our second-generation fighters, but if we encounter enemy fighters, except for the time of air combat, we can't fly to Britain, and we can't take this risk, so I don't think we need to fly directly to Britain to fight, we directly organize an air raid to destroy the main force of the German air force deployed in France, and the group will not return after the air raid is over. Instead, fly straight to the UK! The base for the take-off of the aircraft group is located in Italy, and now there are not enough airports and runways for take-off, but this is not difficult for us, and we can organize manpower and material resources to build enough airports and runways within a few days, but this requires the cooperation of the army! ”

Cai Guodong laughed after listening to Luo Zelin's words, he patted Luo Zelin on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, you actually thought of going with me, yes, so let's make a detailed plan, I will immediately ask the 31st and 46th divisions to help build the airport and runway!" Hey, this has to deal with the Italian government again! (To be continued......)
