"Thanks, this is what I should do."

Zhang Yang replied politely, but the Hydra uniform on his body looked a little nondescript.

It was only after the other party reported to his home that Zhang Yang knew that the US lieutenant general in front of him was Spatz, and he also knew something about Zhang Yang of the Eighth Air Force, but he didn't expect that he would come into contact with the other party, so he was slightly surprised, after all, the other party was a real three-star lieutenant general of the US military.

"There's a question I'm curious about."

Lieutenant General Spatz, who was dressed in an army lieutenant general's uniform, looked at Zhang Yang with interest, and seemed to have found something interesting:

"Where did you learn more about the Hydra organization? This may be a bit presumptuous, but the whereabouts of the Hydra have always been relatively secret, and ordinary soldiers should not have much chance to contact it. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the other party spoke, he directly asked this more critical question, but fortunately, Zhang Yang had already made an excuse before, and then said the excuse he used to fool the bearded lieutenant again. Since most of these situations take place on the battlefield and are difficult to investigate, there should be no problems.

"I see, it looks like you've done some research on Hydra."

"Yes, so after we met this Hydra team near the base, I recognized the other party's identity at the first time, and immediately made a plan to infiltrate with the others."

After listening to Zhang Yang's explanation, Spatz and everyone present immediately realized that it was an accidental contact with Hydra, and the information that was slowly collected later. This point completely dispelled a doubt in their hearts. It is unlikely that Zhang Yang will be a Hydra spy, at least Hydra will not use a real physical scientist as bait to plant a nail in the Allied forces.

"Sergeant. You've done a great job, and if it were someone else, even if you had eliminated this Hydra, you don't know its identity and don't know German, and you wouldn't have happened today. ”

The British Army Major General stood up, flapped his palms a few times, and seemed to be satisfied with Zhang Yang. Immediately after that, the crowd asked a few other small questions. However, Zhang Yang obviously noticed that everyone present was not as slightly wary of himself as he was at the beginning, and obviously believed in his identity.

At this time, Lieutenant General Spatz turned his attention to the colonel with facial paralysis beside him. introduced to Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, this is Curtis. Colonel Li May, also a member of our Eighth Air Force, you may have heard of it. This time it's in charge of bombing and supporting your air force. There is his fleet of 305 bombers. ”

Curtis...... Li mei? ”

Spatz's words were like throwing a grenade in the water. Zhang Yang's mood shook for a moment, and he looked at the colonel with facial paralysis in disbelief, looking up and down trying to connect the facial paralysis in front of him with the photo of Li Mei on the Internet.

"What a big fish!"

Zhang Yang's gaze at Li Mei immediately changed a little, what others didn't notice, only Zhang Yang himself knew what the real reason was.

The facial paralysis in front of him looked very young, so Zhang Yangcai didn't recognize it at the beginning, and the main reason why he was so impressed by Li Mei was that Li Mei commanded the bombing of Tokyo. single-handedly buried the names of hundreds of thousands of Japanese, known as "butchers". At that time, Japan called it "Oni Animal General".

I won't comment on the merits and demerits for the time being, but at least Li Mei's cruel and cold methods left a deep impression on Zhang Yang. And Li Mei himself is also an excellent officer, he was promoted to the position of major general at a young age, and he is not from a prestigious school, nor does he have any family background, he was promoted completely by his own strength.

It's just that it's 1943, and there is still a year before the bombing of Tokyo, so Li Mei is not as famous as afterwards, so at this moment, Li Mei just feels that Zhang Yang's gaze at him is a little strange, but it is just strange, many people have pointed at him because of his facial paralysis and the speed of his rank promotion, and he has already been accustomed to this kind of gaze.

"Now that you have the information on the new German aircraft, tell me about it, it's safe here."

Li Mei spoke very concisely and straight to the point, but it was also in line with Zhang Yang's impression of him, so there was nothing like that, and Spas and the other three generals also had straight faces, pricking up their ears to hear what Zhang Yang had to say.

Zhang Yang sorted out his thoughts, and then said what information he had about me262, of course, there were reservations in some places, otherwise he was afraid that such detailed information would make the other party suspicious.

According to the Colonel Film, the Germans will officially install this new aircraft in about two months, but because the production speed is a little slow, it will not be installed too much. Since there is no such big threat in numbers, the Germans will have some advantage locally, but from the overall point of view, we still have a certain advantage. ”

Zhang Yang made his own summary.

These circumstances were not unfounded, but rather the conclusion of history, that Germany had no strength to expand the war at the moment, and that the situation in Germany began to deteriorate with the successful landing of Allied forces in Normandy in 1944 and the opening of a second battlefield.

The war was a war of attrition, with the Soviet Union in the east, Britain and the United States in the west, and Germany was attacked from both sides.

Li Mei and Spatz fell into thought after listening to Zhang Yang's narration, and quickly digested the valuable information provided by Zhang Yang. Among them, Li Mei is an air force commander herself, and she can be said to be very familiar with the performance of the aircraft, and after learning about the situation of ME262 from Zhang Yang, she immediately paid attention to it.

This news is very important and timely for the Allies at this moment, at least the Allies still have nearly two months, and Li Mei feels that several countermeasures can be deduced in advance, such as dive tactics. The structure of the ME262 itself is destined to be impossible to be as flexible as other piston types, which is a major advantage of piston aircraft.

"If this aircraft is used to attack our bombers, instead of engaging in firefights with our fighters, the target is still a bomber such as the "Flying Fortress", which is still very dangerous, and the 30mm cannon is enough to knock down the Flying Fortress. ”

Li Mei knocked on the table, and then said one of her own speculations, Zhang Yang immediately admired a little, Li Mei's speculation was similar to the facts.

In the past, the B17 Flying Fortress needed to face, most of them were 20mm cannons such as fw1290 and 15mm caliber cannons, and the B17 is worthy of the well-known Flying Fortress, after experiencing a melee of fighters such as be109, it can often drag its body back and fly back, and it is this rough-skinned performance that has achieved the prestige of the B17.

This changed after the advent of the ME262, and the German pilots took advantage of the ME262's speed advantage to focus on attacking the less maneuverable bombers when attacking, and to avoid entanglement with the Allied fighters, a tactic that caused very large losses to the Allied bombers. Later, the allies also came up with a solution to this problem, Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, and was ready to say it in advance.

"Yes, but after learning about these situations, I also made a hypothesis that maybe this situation can be resolved."

"Oh?"

Li Mei looked at Zhang Yang thoughtfully: "What is the hypothesis, you say come and listen." ”

Zhang Yang shrugged and said:

"In fact, the method is also very simple, we all know that fighter jets have always existed to protect bombers, but we may be able to change the way of thinking, that is, to liberate the fighter from the silver shadow of the bomber, let the fighter give full play to its own special advantages, before the ME262 takes off, or before the ME262 touches the bomber, take the lead in shooting it down, this problem is solved?"

After Zhang Yang finished saying this, the audience was a little silent, everyone present even the British Army Major General, also knew that the fighter was to protect the bomber, and now Zhang Yang said that let the fighter let go of his hands and feet, take the initiative to shoot down the opponent's fighter, this sounds like a bit of a fantasy, no wonder Zhang Yang chose the "hypothetical" after considering the words.

The idea of the crowd is also very simple, it has always been implemented according to the previous backward theory, that is, if the fighters all run to fight, then who will protect the bombers?

Compared with the blowout development of fighters (fighter planes) in later generations, the fighter itself has not played its own advantages at all, but this theory is somewhat advanced, even if many people are now aware that the concept at this time is a bit backward, but they have not tried to change this concept.

Maybe it's the fear of the unknowable future, or maybe it's the stubborn thinking of people who are reluctant to take the initiative to change the situation.

"Well said!"

A voice broke the silence, it was Spatz. Although Li Mei next to her did not speak, she could see a look of approval in her gaze.

Spatz glanced at Li May and the British Royal Air Force Major General, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I have thought of the idea that Zhang Yang just mentioned, but I think it is only a possibility, and it is not applicable at the moment, but the facts have finally proved that our concept has begun to fall behind and become outdated." This is also evidenced by the losses of the Eighth Air Force last month. ”

The Eighth Air Force, stationed in Britain and fighting in Europe, had been attacked by the Germans in the last month due to a daytime attack, and had suffered heavy losses and had not yet recovered. After that, Spatz learned from the pain and began to reflect on where his mistakes had gone wrong. (To be continued......)
