Learwin felt that the generals of the Allied air force had a problem with their brains, and they were simply a bunch of single-celled animals. Isn't it just that the airports around Berlin are blocked, what's the big deal? Is it necessary to fight for air supremacy in the vicinity of Berlin and to fight for air supremacy in the vicinity of Berlin? Couldn't the plane just take off from the airfield in the rear and fly to fight near Berlin?

Anyway, Germany not only has airports in Berlin, but also Leipzig and Dresden in the south, Kiel, Hamburg, Bremen in the north and Hannover in the east. Why hang yourself from a tree?

Do the Allied Air Forces understand this? You must know that the reason why they are obsessed with the airport in Berlin is that Berlin is close to Warsaw, and from Berlin they can fly to fight near Warsaw, and they can cover the communication line from Berlin to Warsaw, while they can't take full care of Warsaw when they take off from Hamburg or Leipzig.

Of course, this reason is not the most important, more importantly, the generals of the Allied air forces are a little cautious, the world war is basically over, no accident to intervene in Russia, whether it is successful or not, the next ten years will be happy and happy.

Perhaps for the people of all countries, this peaceful life is beautiful. But for soldiers, the future of such a day is difficult to guarantee. Disarmament is probably the main theme for the next year or two. As for the Air Force, which had just emerged in World War I, they lacked the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years and thousands of years by the Navy and Army, and they did not show the world-shocking feats in World War I. In other words, in the future tide of disarmament, the future of the Air Force is very bad!

It should be said that the estimates of these air force generals were not wrong, after the end of World War I. All the new weapons were forgotten in an instant. Airplanes, tanks were thrown into warehouses and rusted. The aviation industry was in a slump throughout the twenties, and many of the later famous aircraft manufacturers had to open side businesses, such as Boeing, which made a living by selling furniture and raising cows.

So what does this have to do with the ignorance of the Allied air force generals? The correlation is huge! The reason why the future of the Air Force is underestimated is nothing more than that it did not play a decisive role in World War I and did not have excellent combat records. If we want to keep the Air Force and get a share of the limited military spending in peacetime, we must find ways to attract attention, and it is best if the whole world sees the prominent role of the Air Force.

I have to say. It's hard. Because it is a new thing, how to use the air force is a process of exploration for the whole world to cross the river by feeling the stones. Anyway, the exploration of the Allied air force generals in this field was not smooth. For example, Du Hei, later the whole world remembered his book "Air Supremacy", but who would have thought that he was in a bad situation when he wrote this book?

Beginning in 1915, Du Hei constantly reported to his superiors, demanding the correct use of the Air Force, especially the role of bombers. But his advice was never understood and supported, and in a fit of rage, the humble Duge wrote a very sharp report to the authorities, scolding the Italian military brass for being a bloody squirt.

Okay. This time Du Hei can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, under the revenge of the authorities. He was convicted of leaking military intelligence and sentenced to one year in prison. "Air Supremacy" was written by Du Hei in high walls and behind bars. It was not until 1917, when the Italian Air Force began bombing the depths of Austria-Hungary and achieved certain results, that Duché was released.

Don't think that this is the happy ending, Du Hei, who was released from prison and restored his reputation, soon realized the power of conservative forces and had to be forced to retire. It was not until 1921, with the support of Army Commander-in-Chief Díaz and the Army and Navy Ministry, that his Air Supremacy was published.

It can be said that in those days, no matter which country's air force was almost surviving in the cracks, the army and navy did not want a nasty little brother to share their military spending, and they were all trying to find ways to suppress the air force.

For example, the very powerful U.S. Air Force in World War II, but it has always been called the Army Air Corps, and even before 1941, it was called the Army Air Corps, which can only be regarded as a branch of the Army, which is equivalent to the status of armored troops and artillery, and it was not until 1947 that the Air Force became independent.

It is conceivable that in 1919, when aviation equipment was still quite primitive, not many people were optimistic about the future of the Air Force at all. The nascent Air Force must fight for its own survival!

So what was the method of the Entente air force? They have also tried to use normal means to gain their status before, but no matter how hard they fight, in the eyes of the navy, especially the big brother of the army, they are not in the flow and can be ignored. Even the vast majority of Army Big Brother thinks that no air force can fight a war, and it is the same with or without aircraft!

This annoyed the Allied air force generals, but they were unable to prove their importance. Until Li Xiaofeng and Sukhoi made their glorious debut, they first attacked Kiel and beat the Allied Navy to the ground, and then used unbelievable tactics to make the army big brother want to die. While these means dazzled the generals of the Allied air forces, they also thought of it - this is a good opportunity to prove the air force!

The greater the gains of the Russian air force, the more trouble it caused to the army and navy, doesn't it indirectly prove the significance of the air force's existence? If they can make the army and navy suffer a big loss, and let these two grandsons beg their air force for help, it will be very happy!

Anyway, the generals of the Allied air force reached a consensus in private, let the Russians perform first, the more eye-catching the better, and the more the army and navy could not come to Taiwan, the better. In the end, let's be the savior like a divine soldier descending from heaven, can't we lay the meaning of the air force in one fell swoop?

Based on this idea, the Allied air force naturally wanted to be waterproof, and it was clear that there was a way to turn the situation around, but they just didn't need to, and even deliberately ordered their pilots to work without contribution, and left the army and navy there to slap in the face and see jokes.

I have to say that this method works very well, don't you see that Foch, the commander-in-chief, is about to be tortured to madness? Seriously, when the air force generals of the Entente countries saw the scene of the old man's madness, they were almost bubbling with joy. And they can't really be happy yet, it's really uncomfortable!

But the grandson's joy didn't last long. Soon their little caution was debunked by Erwin. The immediate Foch also came back to taste. The old man quickly understood what the Air Force was planning. Let's be honest. The old man was quite angry!

Foch is also an old-fashioned man, as an army general, it is difficult for him to have any good impression of the Air Force, and even he feels that this world war is his army brothers who desperately withstood the offensive of the Germans, as for the Air Force, that group of flies who only know how to fly in the air know what war is? And how much did they contribute to the war?

In the old man's view, the Air Force is completely an auxiliary force, and it is enough to do a good job of reconnaissance and harassment. The war still depends on the army! So for this little trick of the Air Force generals. He was annoyed that this group of people was vilely stealing honor that belonged to the Army.

When it comes to thieves, Foch is not at all polite. Therefore, a death order was given to the Air Force at the first time, that air supremacy must be regained within the specified time, and that the communication along the Berlin-Warsaw line must be ensured. Otherwise, hehe, otherwise the old man doesn't mind letting the Air Force walk around without eating.

The air generals of the Entente countries were dumbfounded, the diorama was dismantled, and it is conceivable how the army and navy generals who had come back to the taste would clean them up. Anyway, they hate Learvine, who has done bad things.

The question is, does Learvin care about this bit of hatred? For a female spy who lost to an immortal again, the most important thing in this life is to find a way to harm the good deeds of a certain immortal. As long as it makes someone unhappy, she will be comfortable. What are those birdmen who offended the Air Force? Didn't you see that the bosses of the army and navy were grateful to her? Compared to the army and navy, which have a deep background. The Air Force really doesn't have much power in the political arena, so there is no need to be afraid at all!

Li Erwen must have been happy too early, the trend of history is that things that can fly will be in command, and in the future, the air force will be the well-deserved boss of the three armed forces, and it must be up to the air force to judge whether a country's armed forces are effective and whether they are modern enough! Without air supremacy, there is no qiē!

Fortunately, this is still 1919, which belongs to the era when the Air Force is relatively poor, and under Foch's strong orders, the Air Force generals can only reluctantly show some real skills.

So what does it mean to show some real skills? That is to say, if you have full strength, you will only use half or even a third or a quarter. Because the air force generals of the Entente countries knew very well that the Russian air force was simply not a level of opponent compared to them. They can drown the Russians with the "sea of people" tactics alone.

After some difficult discussions, the air force generals of the Entente countries came to an agreement that the water must be released. How do you put the water? These guys have ideas. They said in a grand manner: "The way to counter the provocation of the Russian Air Force is to treat others as they would like to be treated." We also mine to block them! ”

Soon the Allies' arsenals received strange orders - a large number of small cloth bags, iron filings, and glass ballast. After some urgent work, the Entente copycat version of the bag mine appeared.

On a clear afternoon, a large number of Allied bombers took off from the Hamburg airfield under the cover of fighter planes, flew along the coastline to the skies over Szczecin, and after skirmishes with Sukhoi's fighter pilots, dropped their bags and left.

There are many aircraft in the Entente, and naturally the effect of this mine laying is very amazing, and the area around Szczecin is full of bag mines, anyway, Foch, who learned the news, is very satisfied, and in the old man's opinion, the problem has been solved, and the Russian Air Force is finished.

Is that really the case? It can only be said that Foch was happy too early, Li Xiaofeng is not two hundred and five, he knew very well from the beginning that playing air minelaying is a double-edged sword, and the Entente can completely follow the example and use the same method of air minelaying to fight back.

So when it was decided to use bag mines and butterfly mines, a certain immortal was ready to deal with it. For example, after harvesting the grain in East Prussia and Szczecin, most of the grain had already been loaded into warehouses when the Allies laid mines, and those mines thrown into the fields did not cause much damage, and they were easy to clear.

Of course, the most important thing is to clear mines, after all, those bag mines are also troublesome to drop on the runway of airports, and the use of manual methods to clear mines is slow, inefficient and risky. The Entente bloc only had a hole in their minds to let the sappers take on this job, and a certain immortal would not do this anyway.

Li Xiaofeng's solution is quite simple, a heavy-duty roller will do the trick. Anyway, the bag mine has a very small charge, and it can't blow up the big rollers of the roller at all. Roll it all the way and it will be done in minutes. In any case, the Entente were counting on the blockade of the airport by Bagore. It's simply impossible.

In fact, when I saw the Entente use this trick. Li Xiaofeng also thought it was funny, thinking that the Entente were too lazy, and even the cottages were not completely copycated, so he would use them with timed bombs when he blocked the airport with bag mines.

But this is really not that the Entente is not completely copycat or lazy, does the Allied air force not know about the steamroller or bulldozer? Don't they know how to use a time bomb? I know, but I can't do this, they think the Russians can't stand it, the Russians are done. How to show the importance of the Air Force? To put it bluntly, this is secretly releasing water, that is, to dismantle the army and navy.

So a week later, Foch was furious again, angrily asking why the Air Force had not completed its mission and why the Russians had allowed themselves to wreak havoc in the air. To this, the Air Force replied: "The boys have done their best, but our existing aircraft and weapons have no advantage at all in the face of the Russians, objectively speaking, we are suppressed." To reverse this passive situation, we must do our best to develop new fighters and more advanced aerial bombs! ”

Plainly. That's asking for money. Now that the world wars are over, disarmament is the mainstream. A large number of wartime orders have been lifted, a large number of advanced weapons have been ruthlessly hung on drawing boards, and even more than half of the battleships have been declared to be suspended indefinitely. At this time, not to mention the development of new fighters, maintaining the size and orders of the air force in wartime is an extremely extravagant act.

Foch naturally won't agree, he can't fulfill his promise, but the Air Force is also single, pushing the responsibility cleanly, opening his mouth that the Russians' fighters and weapons are more advanced, our young men are fighting with their lives, and we have done our best!

Did you really do your best? Definitely tried to mess up. However, when a branch of the military huddles together to make trouble for the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief will also be very helpless. To put it in my heart, the position of commander-in-chief of the Allied forces has never required military ability, and this position does not require much military talent. Because military talent alone does not necessarily lead to a good job. To really be the commander-in-chief of this kind of coalition forces, it requires considerable coordination and political ability. To put it bluntly, this position is more about organizing and coordinating the contradictions of various countries, and what is needed is a mediator.

For example, Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allies in World War II in Europe, is this benevolent brother really strong in war? To be honest, his role in the Allied forces in the European theater was not so much that of a soldier as of a politician, and that organization and coordination were his strengths.

And judging from the fact that this brother was able to become the president of the United States later, it does confirm this, Eisenhower is indeed more like a politician. So is Foch like a soldier or a politician? Preference is given to the latter, because anyone who is only in charge of military affairs and not in politics cannot be the commander-in-chief. For example, the sluggish Xia Fei, his military talent is really not enough.

Therefore, in the face of the resistance of the military branches, Foch also weighed more, even if he knew that the other party was doing tricks, he could only be more patient, and could only mediate the contradictions, rather than intensify the contradictions.

And the result of the mediation is that there is no result, and the air force must hope to gain something from this, and it is obvious that Foch cannot give them the result they want, so naturally they can only stalemate. In the end, whoever can't hold on first loses.

After all, the air force of this year is not as strong as that of later generations, and at this time the army can fight a war with or without air supremacy, although it is relatively depressed and unhappy, but it is not that it cannot be persistent.

And in this kind of painful and tangled situation, the other branch of the military can't be idle, and everyone can see how the air force is distributing the military spending cake and the right to speak after the war. If the Air Force gets its wish, then the other branches of the armed forces will naturally have to be less. No one wants their cake to be less, is it?

So soon the British Royal Navy stepped forward, promising to be able to deal with the pesky Russian flies.

"We will take Szczecin directly, carry out an amphibious landing operation, and solve all problems at once!"

It should be said that the Royal Navy's Tiyì can also be regarded as a copycat, before Li Xiaofeng captured Szczecin was an amphibious landing, and this time the British are also ready to copy it directly. However, it is not without disagreement: "The success of Russia was a surprise, they occupied Szczecin with an amphibious landing operation, will they not strengthen their maritime defenses?" ”

Betty's answer was: "With the strength of the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy, it is enough to destroy the resistance of the Russians head-on, and the Russians will be blown into powder under the cover of powerful artillery fire!" ”

However, the Navy's plan was opposed by the Army, which in particular Foch saw it as a sign that the Navy was ready to take credit. There is no need for an amphibious landing at all, and it is not a cross-sea operation, so why bother, if you can accelerate the increase of troops in Berlin, wouldn't it be enough to crush it directly from land?

For this reason, the army and navy quarreled fiercely, because both sides knew that who could solve the Russians in Szczecin, who would take the initiative in the battle, and when the time came, it would not attract attention when it was publicized in public opinion!

Especially the Navy, they have been taught a bad lesson in Kiel before, and they have always wanted to get back to the field, but now they are killing two birds with one stone, how can they give up?

After arguing for two days, no one in the army and navy of the structural Entente could convince anyone, and in the end they could only compromise, how to compromise? That is, the navy and the army are together, and whoever wins counts who...... (To be continued......)
