Chapter 346: Half a Politician

Operation Eagle Strike continued, and additional bombing aviation groups began raids on the forward base of the British fighter force in Kent.

They also carried out a saturation bombing of the British Linnaeus airport, hundreds of 50-kilogram bombs blew up the runway of this airport, and even the hangar was blown up.

On the other side, the Hawking base of the British Air Force Fighter Command was also attacked, and it seems that the Germans have lost patience this time and have begun to send a large number of aircraft into the mission.

The 65th Flying Squadron of the British Royal Air Force was quickly reinforced, and they flew into the sky with Spitfire fighters, but at this moment, they found that the German planes were overwhelming, and the black pressure bombs fell head-on from the sky, and the buzz of the explosion almost pierced the eardrums of the pilots.

As Operation Eagle Strike progressed, the German bombardment became more and more frantic and frequent day by day.

In this operation, they flew a total of 1,485 sorties, with Stuka as the spearhead, blowing up 22 planes parked on the ground at the British Air Base, killing 67 pilots.

In the skies to the south, the Germans lost six aircraft, their bombers flew at night, and the attack on the fighter factory in Birmingham had little effect, and at the end of the day's offensive, Greene's air force paid the price of forty-six aircraft in exchange for shooting down thirteen British fighters and destroying forty-seven on the ground.

Soon, Green ordered another massive attack, targeting areas from Scotland to Southampton.

At this meeting, Green analyzed the main reasons for the recent disadvantage of the Air Force, and they decided to make a slight revision.

Since a bomber without fighter escort can only be sent to death if it acts alone, all bombing missions will be escorted by fighter jets, and no matter what happens, fighter planes will perform their duties exactly what.

However, this order also embarrassed the pilots of the Imperial Air Force, and they even joked in private that they were "like dogs on a leash", and they no longer had the opportunity to fly freely and fight the enemy heartily.

New World, Washington, D.C., in a luxury suite at the Mayflower Hotel.

"Mr. Zhou, everything is going according to your plan, the air forces of Britain and Germany continue to consume each other, the number of available fighter jets has decreased significantly, Williams has made several calls, but I told him that you are in a meeting in the White House, there is no way to answer, and he is still urging the latest batch of fighter jets and parts orders."

Zhou Yu sat in the study of the suite, with black tea on the desk and the latest newspaper in his hand, reading it with relish.

He didn't go to any meetings at all, he just deliberately hung Williams to make the other party anxious.

"Hehe~ If I guessed correctly, the air raid plan on the German side had little effect, and it was lonely after a long day, and dozens of fighters were lost in vain."

The cripple walked up to Zhou Yu with a somewhat surprised expression: "Mr. Zhou, I haven't said it here, how do you know?" It's really a god~! ”

Zhou Yu thought to himself, of course I know, after all, we are from the past, we have God's perspective, fortunately, the war has happened to this point, although the overall time and details have changed, but the general development direction is still under his control, so that he can make himself invincible in this war and absorb greater benefits.

"What else is there to say?"

Zhou Yu saw that the cripple had no intention of leaving, shook the newspaper and flipped it over, and asked while reading.

The cripple approached and whispered: "There is also good news, it is from my sister-in-law's side, the plane that picked her up has taken off, she will go back to New York directly, you can rest assured, not a single hair is missing, but I just listened to the reports of the brothers who escorted her, my sister-in-law has been a lot more mature and stable after this war baptism, Mr. Zhou, I am really convinced of you, are you not worried at all?" ”

Hearing that Rosa had already boarded the plane back to the New World, Zhou Yu's pupils contracted unconsciously, and then he put down the newspaper and smiled: "Not worried? How can it be! I'm more worried than any of you, but even if I'm worried in my position, I can't show it on my face, because my words and deeds no longer represent me alone, if even I act like an ant on a hot pot, how can I do your Dinghai Shen Needle? ”

The cripple thought for a while and nodded: "Also, every time there is an urgent military report, no matter how bad the situation, as long as I see Mr. Zhou, you sit there calmly, my heart is at the bottom~!" I knew you would have a way to solve the dilemma in front of you, hey~ This is the ability we can't learn. ”

Zhou Yu pointed to the cripple and said, "You guys are already very good, do you know how much Roosevelt envied me?" He has complained to me in private more than once that there is a lack of subordinates like you around who can give him advice and solve problems, and those staff members are also secretly playing their own small calculations, not as united as our Chamber of Commerce.

Roosevelt even asked me if I was going to pass, but I told him that no one in our chamber of commerce could do without anyone, and only when the brothers were united and twisted into a rope could we go further and more steadily in this stormy and turbulent world. ”

The cripple unconsciously puffed up his chest when he heard Zhou Yu's words, and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, the brothers listen to you, what should we do next?" Do you want to reply to Williams? ”

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, calculating the time in his mind, he remembered that soon after the Eagle Strike operation, the German army was about to launch the second phase of the operation, which was the famous bombing of London.

As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, he still has to hang Williams for a few more days, and when the Germans have dropped all the 4,400 tons of bombs, he will stretch out his rescue hand and pull Williams.

This is war, this is diplomacy, and before making this decision, Zhou Yu also thought that the bombing of London would cause many civilian casualties.

But as long as there is a war, where is the perfect plan? And how can there be no casualties? Not to mention the great war that swept the whole world.

But for the goal in his heart, for the sake of his compatriots and brothers, Zhou Yu had to be hard-hearted, after all, he is now half a politician.

In London, Williams hung up again, shaking his head with a sad face.

"He still won't answer the phone...... Said it was in a meeting. ”

Opposite Williams, his number one stopper, Churchill, also said with indignation: "He is taking advantage of the fire to rob and sit on the ground!" Deliberately hanging us! ”

Williams sighed and shook his head: "I know, I know him, but we have no way now, if we want to get more assistance from the federal government, we can't turn against Bruce Zhou...... I'll do it again later. ”
