Chapter 78 Important Meeting of the German Second Air Force
When all the personnel arrived, the commander of the 2nd Air Force, Albert Kesselin, sat in the conference hall with a expressionless face, and glanced at everyone with a sharp look.
People who were seen by him were nervous and uneasy.
Although Kesseling is a simple soldier and hates power struggles, it does not mean that he has no temper.
Especially everyone knew that after they suffered heavy losses in order to rescue the German soldiers on the Bangjiao Peninsula, they did not dare to touch his temper.
"Before today's meeting begins, I want to know if you know how many aircraft we have left to fight?"
When he saw everyone staring at him nervously and losing money, Keselin cleared his throat gently and spoke.
"There are about 65 more aircraft to fight!"
After Kesseling finished speaking, it took a long time before a timid commander stood up and replied in a very solemn atmosphere.
"Captain Crook, can you tell me more details?"
Keselin stared at the other party without any emotion.
"Yes, Commander! We are now only 15 JU88s from the 3rd Battalion, 15 FW190s from the 1st Battalion, and 35 ME109 fighters from the 2nd Battalion! All other aircraft are completely destroyed!"
Captain Crook said nervously with his muscles tense on the ground.
"Well! You did a good job! At least you can clearly know the significant losses facing our Second Air Force!"
Keseling nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, he waved his hand gently and signaled the other party to sit down.
"I am not calling everyone here today to teach you a lesson or punish that person! The main purpose of my meeting here today is to tell you a few things! The first thing is that we will also assign the independent air command of the Balkans, the two fighter brigades under command, a night harassing brigade, a JU88 long-range fighter squadron, and the last three close-range reconnaissance aircraft squadrons, including the ME323 transport fleet they own, and the JU52 transport fleet to our second air force for integration!"
"The second thing is that according to the orders of the Head of State and Sper, our empire will start from now on HE177, JU52, JU290, AR196, DFS230, and GO242, as well as HE111, DO24, HS129 and other aircraft production lines, which will be completely closed and stopped! In this stage, our aircraft production lines will produce new types of fighters and bombers, such as Ar234 "Lightning" jet bombers, ta152 fighters, and Me262 jet fighters; and JU388J, DO335, FW190D, and Me262 night fighters..."
"That is to say, starting today, you and I will re-train new fighter and bomber training; knowledge training, and combat command training! Because we are about to carry out a large-scale battle in Sicily and the British and American Allies in two months; and the orders for this battle are the latest order issued by the Head of State!"
"The third thing is that our Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goren, because of the rebellion, has been removed from all powers and party membership by the head of state!"
Keselin said a few things in one breath.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and took a few breaths of cold air in shock, holding their breath; they widened their eyes, pricked up their ears intently, and continued to wait for Keselin's following.
"The new Air Force Commander-in-Chief will be the head of state, and I will continue to serve as your commander. In other words, our Second Air Force has no major changes except for the merger of the Balkan fleet! "
Seeing this, Keselin continued to say calmly.
"But the most important thing for us now is to be able to proficient in the performance of the new fighter and bomber given to us by the Head of State as soon as possible! Because after flying these aircraft, after discussions with most of the instructors in the training institution, we have come to a conclusion that you must practice these new aircraft for at least 3 to 4 months before you can truly become familiar with their combat performance and have good results!"
"Otherwise, we will face the air battles between the US P51 Mustang, the British Spitfire IX fighter jets, the B25 bombers, and the mosquito fighter bombers and other new aircraft, then our victory rate will be very slim!"
"Of course, in order to increase your enthusiasm for training and become more vigorous in combat; our respected head of state not only allocated a large number of new fighter jets and bombers to you for special training; but from today on your monthly salary will double, and your food and food will be better than before! In addition, the head of state also gave you all the pilots who performed well in the rescue operations of the Bangkaku Peninsula, and made a fortune! And awarded the Knight's Cross Medal!"
Seeing this, Keseling continued without delay.
Hearing this, all the pilots, whether they are trump, rookie, or old-fashioned, cheered happily and praised Chen Yanlong, a wise leader who was a fake head of state.
As for the other flight officers, they all smiled and started to talk.
Keselin silently looked at his subordinates' excited and excited expressions, and at the same time showed a knowing smile.
After that, Keselin led the team in person to visit the 600 ta152 fighter jets that Chen Yanlong had already allocated to him.
When all the pilots of the Second Air Force saw this fighter that was known as the ultimate piston fighter, everyone was instantly confused in the wind, unable to believe it, and could not believe it. They were happy and excited to sing and dance.
Because they dreamed that Chen Yanlong would have such advanced fighter jets with such good performance for them to train and use in future combat.
If a pilot can have a good fighter to fight, he will have an extra card to save his life.
After obtaining these high-altitude high-speed piston fighters, before Kesseling ordered them to step up training, all the pilots of the entire Second Air Force were scrambling to train automatically and consciously.
In this regard, Keseling didn't know whether to laugh or scold him for a moment.
Chapter completed!
