Chapter 692: Talent Layout

The more Marshal Curtis spoke, the more discouraged he became: "Not to mention that the commanders of the other side are all veteran pilots who have participated in World War I, even the skills of their new pilots cannot be compared with us." This Fang Xiaoyu is really far-sighted, he actually took into account the problem of large-scale air battles in the future at the beginning of the appearance of aircraft, and as early as several decades ago, he established a large number of flying clubs in his country to train pilots in batches. Fang Xiaoyu even held a lot of flying competitions among the people, luring people to learn to fly with high prizes, and under such circumstances, the reserve force of the Chinese Empire's air force can be said to be endless. ”

"How much fuel is needed for this kind of operation, how did they get so much fuel before the oil fields of the Moss Kingdom were developed." Washington III said in surprise.

Prime Minister Bauer explained: "According to the recent information obtained by the Ministry of Intelligence, in fact, the Chinese Empire has been secretly extracting oil in the Central Continent for decades, and it is said that there is more oil there than the Moss Kingdom, and it is easier to extract, but they are just secret. Therefore, the civil war in the Kingdom of Moss was basically a conspiracy of the Chinese Empire, the purpose of which was to provoke discord between us and the Allies, so as to prevent us whites from uniting. ”

Washington III listened to the words of Marshal Curtis and Prime Minister Power, and his face was also pale, he has been desperately catching up with the Chinese Empire, and has invested a lot of money in all aspects of science and technology, and if it seems that he is still lagging behind in personnel training and scientific and technological modernization, and even in the handling of international relations.

Without seeing the slightest look on Washington III's face, Marshal Curtis continued to explain the topic just now: "Those flying clubs in the Chinese Empire are funded by the Chinese Consortium, and all citizens of the Chinese Empire can spend very little money to go there to learn the skills of flying airplanes and even air combat. Therefore, in the Chinese Empire, no less than 10 million pilots can be conscripted at any time, and these people can skillfully participate in air combat after short-term combat training, and these people are all so-called old birds who have flown more than 1,000 hours. ”

Marshal Curtis's words made Washington III and Bauer gasp in unison, how could they, as laymen, have such a far-sighted strategic vision and start training pilots decades ago. They have always put their main energy into equipment, hoping to level the gap with the Chinese Empire, completely ignoring the most important issue that the main body of the war is people, and when they are desperately catching up with the level of science and technology, Fang Xiaoyu has already laid a huge talent base for the war.

Marshal Curtis said with a sad face: "There are more serious problems, the F104 fighter does have excellent performance and can even fly at supersonic speeds, but the operation of this fighter is very difficult, and it must be used by experienced elite pilots." If you let the novices go up, you are guaranteed to drop one by one, and now we don't have many elite pilots. ”

"There's such a thing." Washington III gasped, he was overjoyed to see a fighter that could match the opponent's opponent, but he did not expect that the difficulty of piloting such an aircraft was directly proportional to his performance. As a result, I am afraid that there will be a situation in the Boston Empire where there are advanced aircraft but no one can fly them, and those newcomers can only fly the F86 fighter jets with slightly inferior performance, and fight the enemy to the death.

Marshal Curtis continued: "Such a problem is prominent in all branches of the military, and the Chinese Empire has long begun to use a large number of shooting clubs to train snipers, vehicle clubs to train armored soldiers, artillery clubs to train artillerymen, and flying clubs to train pilots. They have even set up a military strategy and tactics research group in the school's interest group, which is managed by instructors from the school who are specifically responsible for military training. These instructors are all retired junior officers with high tactical literacy and can systematically impart professional knowledge to students. In addition to the national war game competition held every year, this competition not only has a high prize money, but also the top people can also be escorted to famous military academies, it can be said that the Chinese Empire has recruited civilian strategic and tactical talents. With such a strong accumulation of military talent, coupled with their strong defense industrial system, we actually lost before the war was launched. ”

Washington III sighed and said, "Fang Xiaoyu is really a very human being, his strategic vision is quite vicious and long-term, he has already paved the way for his son. Even after his abdication, we still couldn't break through the arrangements he had made. ”

Bauer agreed: "It's true that there are many places that we can't think of beforehand, and we only understand the meaning of those seemingly useless layouts when we are in front of them, but it is terrible that he can start laying out them decades before they happen, as if he could see the future." ”

Then Prime Minister Power raised his head, looked at Washington III and Marshal Curtis with firm eyes, and said: "But we have to fight this battle, and we have to hold on." In fact, judging from the situation before the war, the national strength of the Chinese Empire is getting stronger and stronger, and if we don't hurry up, we will be completely crushed by them one day. And in the ongoing war, if we don't hold on, we can only surrender unconditionally, unless we make Fang Ruijun feel that the gains of fighting with us outweigh the losses, otherwise we will not be able to get a decent truce result, which will also make me finally crushed by it. Prime Minister Power's words were reasonable, and Washington III and Marshal Curtis agreed with very much.

"In this case, we can only grit our teeth and persevere, order all the heavy industrial systems in the country to be put into military production, and establish more aviation schools and armored forces schools, and we can only suppress the other side with quantity. Let the troops on the battlefield on the Western Continent also speed up the pace of the offensive, we must create enough military pressure and let Fang Ruijun propose peace talks first, so that we can seize the initiative. "Washington III knew that he had no way out, so he simply made a desperate bet and left no room for it, putting all the resources of the country into the military, fighting the Chinese empire to the death, and as for how the country's economy would be turbulent after the war, he could no longer care about it.

Washington III's words were also the only way at the moment, and the other two agreed, which was something that Marshal Curtis was very unwilling to see, and he knew where the problem was but there was no way to solve it. Now he can only harden his heart and send pilots who have undergone short-term training to the battlefield, hoping to overwhelm the quality of the Chinese Empire with quantity. At the same time, he also prayed heartily for these young people, hoping that they would be lucky enough to survive until the day the war ended.
