81_81266 The weather was very good, the whole hillside was covered with parasols and pairs of young people sitting on the grass. They enjoyed the mild weather at the end of April and enjoyed the most spectacular race in all of Germany.

The competition is the largest in the history of the German Glider Association, with 59 clubs and even the glider association itself taking part in the competition, most of which are followed by giants of the aviation industry such as DO or ME, which makes the competition much more intense.

Under the auspices of the technical department of the Luftwaffe, it became a test ground for Germany's new air flight, and also became the most important logistics base for training Luftwaffe reserve personnel. This competition takes place every year, and thousands of experienced pilots are trained here every year for Germany.

It can be said that the Luftwaffe was able to expand from nothing to a powerful air force with nearly 10,000 aircraft gliders of various types in just a few years, and these clubs contributed a lot. This nationwide air race gave the German Air Force a reserve of pilots that could even catch up with the United States. And in the process, female pilots gradually emerged, which increased the depth of the Luftwaffe's reserves on a certain distance.

It has to be said that there are more and more female roles among German pilots, they serve as bomber gunners, co-pilot flight attendants on transport planes, pilots in helicopter units, and even operators on paratrooper gliders.

Last month, a squadron of German fighter jets, driven entirely by women, entered service, and this squadron will be tasked with air defense over a German overhead. This marked the prospect of women holding at least 20 percent of the positions in the Luftwaffe in order to free up more men for more valuable jobs.

In the valley cliffs and other places, a series of competitions such as gliding aircraft racing competitions, aircraft flight length competitions, aircraft flight time competitions and so on will be held according to the rules. This will be followed by festivities such as aerobatic shows, parades of flying formations, airships and hydrogen balloon tours.

As the majestic music sounded, the German flag seemed to be unfurled in the wind. Everyone rose from the grass, looked to the top of the hillside, and looked with reverence at the little pergola, which was the most prestigious place in the glider race.

"The Führer, the Führer's wife has arrived!" shouted a soldier of the 0th SS Division, holding an assault rifle in both hands, as he stood upright. Since the last attack, the Führer's security has become tighter, surrounded by guards with guns, almost five steps and ten steps and a sentry.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" the people near the hillside raised their right hands and stood upright and shouted loudly, their voices echoing through the valley, rising and falling melodiously.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" and more people shouted with their right hands raised, calling out to their leaders in the most adoring voices, they loved the country, and they loved the great Führer even more.

Accardo took Mercedes by his own hands and walked into the pergola. Carefully supporting the big-bellied Mercedes to sit on the comfortable sofa. Then he turned around and waved at the crowd of people shouting banzai from the mountain below.

The cheers below were even more boiling, and they shouted selflessly, waving violently at their idols, and the hillside was littered with waving swastika flags and various hats and handkerchiefs.

"Sit down. Accardo whispered to the officials around him. After saying that, he himself sat down on the throne.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" Augustus and Krupp sat down, some in suits and others in military uniforms, and sat in a large area around Accardo.

Almost all the dignitaries of the empire attended this grand competition, including Chancellor Augustus, Vice Chancellors Krupp and Bosch, including Brauchitsch and Raeder of the military, Foreign Minister Merkel, Minister of the Interior Jelinike, Minister of Industry Speer, and Minister of Propaganda Fanny, so many dignitaries attended, which shows that the top level of the empire attaches great importance to such a grand event.

The Luftwaffe has put forward a plan for the expansion and development of the army in the next five years, and it will go so far as to double the number of existing air forces in the next five years, when the scale of the German air force will exceed 16,000 aircraft, with 80,000 standard pilots, and if you count the supporting radar airfield air defense positions, the total strength will exceed 900,000.

It happened that Mercedes was stuffy at home and wanted to come out to breathe, so the decision of the Führer to personally attend this aviation feast was made. With a short speech by Accardo, the contest officially began. The music sounded again, but it was no longer a symbol of the majesty of the head of the empire, but a symbol of the excitement of the game.

"Now, today's No. 1 and his glider team are on the scene! His aircraft is very technical, with straight and slender wings, which is very rare in a racing flight......" In the loudspeaker, the pleasant voice of the host is explaining the information of the contestants.

Mercedes looked at the distant competitor climbing into his aircraft with the help of several staff members, and looked interested: "Hey, Accardo, that player is from the Ruhr, not far from your hometown. ”

Accador took Mercedes' hand, sensing that his wife had been gaining weight a bit lately, and he smiled and followed Mercedes's fingers to look at the race field, where he saw that the glider had rushed down the hill from the runway to the cliff at the end.

There, the glider leaped high into the wind, as if it had come to life in an instant, and with the sound of the howling wind, it rushed forward in the sky at great speed, and only a short time later, the flag of arrival was raised high at the finish line, and the results were quite good, close to the level of the third place in the previous competition.

The contestant who returned to the top of the hill was also clearly pleased with his results, smiling and hugging his girlfriend as he allowed the flower-giving middle school students to put a wreath around his neck. Everyone applauded him for his excellent results, and he frequently waved to familiar people.

This was followed by a second pilot with his glider, a very competitive favourite from the city of Weisszakh in the Württemberg region of Germany, whose glider club is sponsored by FW and has a strong technical team.

So as soon as the pilot appeared, he was greeted with cheers and applause. He waved his arms excitedly, as if he was determined to win this time. Soon the technicians helped him prepare the glider, and he also got inside his plane with the help of his assistant.

With a whistle, the glider also rushed into the air current, rushing to the finish line at a very fast speed. Because it is the favorite to win the championship, the dive speed of this plane is very fast, like an eagle falcon, and people are amazed.

Obviously, the clubs sponsored and supported by large companies are not comparable to some small clubs, and the second participating aircraft completely surpassed its previous rivals in terms of design and performance.

"Oh my God!" Mercedes, visibly shocked by the high-speed rush to the finish line, covered her lips and stared at the extremely fast flying machine with her beautiful eyes wide.

Accardo smiled and clenched his wife's hand, turned back to Krupp not far away, and asked, "Krupp, our gliders are getting faster and faster, do these designs have complete records and design parameters?"

"We have a record of every design, my Führer. Krupp replied proudly. This is the technical reserve he is responsible for, so he is well aware of the progress of this work. It is in the nature of German technicians to strive for technical excellence, and they are more confident than their counterparts in other countries.

Soon the cheers were heard again, and the pilot's time came back from the finish line, a full three seconds faster than the first runner, breaking the glider race record set by ME last year.

The contestant received more flowers and applause, several beautiful girls even gave him their own kisses, several engineers and the person in charge from the FW company smiled and patted the pilot on the shoulder, the young man looked very young, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was blonde and blue-eyed, and he looked very handsome.

"What's his name?" Accardo turned his head and asked Mercedes, who was cheering for the runners, "I didn't pay attention to the introduction just now, and it seems that he is still very famous." ”

Mercedes smiled and replied: "My Führer, his name is Hardeman, he was the runner-up last year. ”

"......" This time it was Accardo's turn to have nothing to say, this young and handsome young man was the number one ace of the famous German fighter in the future? This popular favorite among girls to win the championship turned out to be the Sky Reaper who shot down more than 350 planes?

"If he wins this year, I'll treat him to dinner myself!" Accardo suddenly became interested, pointing to the big boy who was wearing a third garland around his neck and said to the SS commander Reinhardt Heydrich next to him: "I bet 20 marks, this time he won!"

"My Führer, you are a little overconfident. Krupp interjected at this time: "This pilot is really good, but winning the championship is not just about the pilot." ”。
