In the quiet corridor, there was a sudden sound of running fiercely, and a series of rapid echoes were sent out in the relatively empty space, and an Air Force major took a telegram document and rushed into the headquarters of the bomber unit of the US Army Air Force in the Middle East, waving the document in his hand and shouting loudly: "Oh no! Order from the General Headquarters!"

Several U.S. generals analyzing the war in Egypt are huddled around a map and discussing the possibility of sending bombers to attack Tobruk. In the past few days, they have drawn up plans to bomb Alexandria and even Crete, but the result cannot change the current situation of the war in North Africa.

"On an urgent mission, the U.S. headquarters called and ordered all 310 B-17 bombers deployed in the Middle East to take off and bomb oil field facilities in Romania. The major officer who had come to deliver the documents saw that no one in the US military had paid any attention to him, so he continued to speak, looking like he was not shocked.

Sure enough, seeing the major say such an important news, everyone raised their heads, and the bomber commander of the US Army Air Corps, who was originally staring at Tobruk to figure out a way, obviously heard this important message, and hurriedly walked over and tore the telegram paper from the major's hand.

It was like a ticking time bomb that exploded in his eyes and passed to his brain, completely short-circuiting the place he was using to think. Another general took the message from his hand, and he didn't notice it, just stood there in a daze.

The message written in the telegram was similar to what the Air Force Major who came to deliver the message said: Take off all the B-17 long-range bombers that can take off, and without fighter planes to escort them, rush to attack the German oil field facilities in the Romanian region, completely destroy the oil refinery there, paralyze the German army's war potential, and lay the foundation for the United States to finally win the initiative in the war.

However, everyone knows that once this plan is implemented, whether it succeeds or not, it means that the United States and Germany will start an all-out war, the entire Middle East region will be enveloped in war, and a world war will completely break out with this attack, and there will be no territory in the world that can escape the catastrophe.

In fact, these questions are not the issues that the American generals present here are considering, they are thinking about other things, and in the dictionary of real soldiers, there is only victory and defeat, and there is no mess of words such as the so-called catastrophe and massacre, and no matter how these words are modified, they are nothing more than the means and process of determining victory and defeat.

"Are you sure this is news from China? If there is such a thing as a false order at this time, it will cause very terrible consequences!" an American general raised his head, looked at the major officer from the Air Force Intelligence Office, and confirmed in a rather solemn tone.

"General!" the major waited for the other party to look at him now, immediately stood upright, and saluted, "I have confirmed the password, and I have communicated a confirmation telegram with the country, and I have used another set of spare passwords to re-verify, it is indeed a top-secret order from the country, and there is no error." ”

That is to say, as soon as we took off the bombers to cut around Crete and cut into Romania and drop the first bomb, the war between the United States and Germany officially began, Patton would defend the Suez Canal to the death, and we, with all our money, would destroy the Romanian oil fields. The general nodded, then turned to several of his colleagues: "Gentlemen, from this moment on, we don't have to hide and hide, at least in our unilateral opinion, the war has begun in full swing." ”

"It should have started a long time ago, earlier, it was to maintain commercial routes and transportation routes, and now that the other side has reached our doorstep, we will not be able to win the war with an attitude of not declaring war. An Air Force Major General pointed to the map with his hand and said, "Not only to bomb Romania, but also to bomb Crete, to bomb Italy!"

Of course, there is no problem for everyone to shout slogans, and the key is how to draw up a perfect battle plan so that American bombers can enter the skies over Romania without realizing it, and complete the first blow of this declaration of war similar to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

In fact, more than half a year ago, when the British still held the sea supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean, the Americans secretly sent 20 B-17 long-range bombers to the Balkans, all of which were painted in the standard livery of the British Air Force, took off from the airfield at the northern tip of Greece, crossed the skies over Bulgaria and other countries, and attacked Romania's oil fields.

This plan is to destroy the production capacity of Romanian oil fields in one fell swoop, force the German army to give up further expansion due to lack of energy, and also allow the United States to control European industrial development by controlling energy.

However, the plan apparently did not go well at the beginning, as the first batch of 20 B-17 bombers took off in Greece and lost contact with headquarters as soon as they reached the border area between Bulgaria and Romania.

The Americans did not abandon this solution to the war once and for all, and once again sent B-17 bombers to Greece, the largest of which numbered almost 70, but all of them were shot down near the Romanian border, and none of them saw the actual oil plant.

Intelligence shows that the Germans have deployed advanced detection radars in Romania, which can detect targets of the size of high-altitude bombers at a distance of more than 400 kilometers, and can completely guide interceptor fighters to take off calmly and intercept and attack invading enemy aircraft. This radar was named Sky Eye by American intelligence, while in fact the German armament was codenamed FXI-50BK-GH1935B, nicknamed "Glass Wall". In fact, the ultimate detection range of this high-altitude warning radar for the B-17 is 450 kilometers, and the altitude can be judged, which is much more advanced than the Americans expected.

Moreover, the German army deployed more than one kind of high-altitude warning radar near the oil field, and on the periphery of the Romanian oil field production area, the German army deployed more than three kinds of radar equipment, which were used for low-altitude blind spot coverage, medium-range locking and air combat guidance, and ultra-long-distance detection. It has formed a completely non-blind spot monitoring in the sub-region.

In addition, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the Romanian oil fields, the German army deployed a ladder-type fixed anti-aircraft artillery position composed of 1,100 anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and a mobile anti-aircraft support detachment composed of 210 anti-aircraft guns deployed on railroad tracks and vehicles, forming a multi-level anti-aircraft fire network with static and moving.

At the same time, these anti-aircraft artillery units are deployed with a full 400 fighter jets, of which 200 are stationary air defense fighters dedicated to this area, and some of them are assigned to the front-line air force in Ukraine, but the airfields deployed are actually closer to Romania.

With such a tight air defense measure, it is simply an impossible combat mission to enter the airspace and carry out large-scale sabotage bombing. On the first few occasions, the Americans, disguised themselves as the British Air Force, carried out many tentative attacks on these areas, and found that the Germans had no dead ends in their deployment here, and there was no time to relax. In short, for the bomber units of the US Army Air Corps in the Middle East, Romania is a country that represents a hell from which there is no return.

"Our bomber forces are not escorted by fighter planes, and for them, there is no difference between going into the interior of the Germans to bomb and sending them to their deaths, and now that all the planes are taking off to bomb the Germans on a large scale, who can ensure the success of the operation?" said an air force general with a sigh: "We can't risk the lives of so many pilots." ”

"General, war is an adventure!" the commander-in-chief glanced at his complaining subordinates and said fiercely: "Even if our army is completely annihilated, as long as we can paralyze the German oil refineries, for the United States, it will be a victory!"

Another American general stared at the map and eventually shook his head. He has always been a seasoned general who pays more attention to practical actions, and at this time he interrupted the quarrel between the two people, pointed to the map and said helplessly: "Instead of arguing about how many planes will be lost, it is better to say that this mission has no room for success at all." The former take-off base was in Greece, and now it is Turkish territory...... Now no matter how we fly, we have to pass through Crete or the skies over Turkey, and this is not a sneak attack, but a clear death. ”

"Yes! Once our planes are discovered by the Germans or Turkey in the airspace of Crete or Turkey, then it is estimated that we will be able to see German fighters flying in the airspace of Bulgaria and other places to give us trouble. Another American general nodded and agreed with this realistic question: "Direct take-off bombing is definitely not a good option." ”

"Don't worry too much about that. The major who had not spoken until now made a gesture of his faint presence, and his words made the whole office suddenly fall silent, and everyone looked at the major and saw that he was furious. Eventually, he mustered up the courage and said, "There's a guy named Doolittle, and he has come up with a way to send the whole plan in the form of a telegram later......"
