Chapter 789： Air Force 12th Viking Wing

For Turkey's attitude, Edel can put it aside for now. However, the German side suddenly sent a secret telegram, which made him turn his attention to Northern Europe.

In fact, this telegram is very simple. After Germany warned Norway and Sweden, Britain and France were still not willing to give up on it, and they were secretly preparing a plan to seize Norway.

As the head of state of Germany, Hitler was very vigilant about the actions of Britain and France, hoping to get the support of Romania to preemptively and take Norway first.

The biggest concern for the capture of Norway is the disadvantage of the navy, so I hope Romania can take some actions at sea to distract the attention of Britain and France. Of course, considering the distance between the two, the relationship is not big, so Germany hopes to get the support of Romania's HF201 fighter.

That's right, this ultra-long range fighter is very attractive to Germany, and its performance has been fully demonstrated in front of Germany in previous battles.

If you want to take the initiative to deal with Norway, the air force is particularly important when the navy does not have the advantage. At present, Germany has only Bf110 twin-engine fighter jets. However, this fighter has a small number, and its performance is not convincing in combat with British and French fighters.

Therefore, the Romanian HF201 fighter entered the German field of vision. The German side hopes that Romania can provide a wing of Type Zero fighters to join the war against Norway.

Faced with such a request from Germany, Edel certainly couldn't agree to it all at once. This was a fighter wing. He brought in General Ankerdra, the secretary of the Air Force, to discuss this matter.

Facing the king's summons, the admiral had already received the news. In fact, according to his heart, he was not willing to accept the requirements of Germany. At present, HF201 is really easy to use. The high and low altitude partner composed of RF20 fighter jets makes the air force like a godly aid. It is simply a matter of meeting the gods and killing the Buddhas. Any British and French fighters will not be well in front of it.

Even if its best Spitfire fighter jets, they still can't please when facing the cooperation of these two fighters. For this reason, the British Air Force in the Middle East has the most say.

What's more, the ultra-long range of the HF201 is more suitable for **** missions. Coupled with the needs of the navy, the current HF201 fighter has become the most urgently needed fighter in the military.

Although Admiral Ankerdra is unwilling to separate a wing for the Germans to use, he certainly will not only proceed from a military perspective as a minister. In fact, he also knows that sending a wing this time is inevitable.

The reason is simple. Romania also needs to protect iron ore from Northern Europe.

Yes, in this time and space, iron ore from Northern Europe is also very important to Romania. Its high-quality iron ore is suitable for smelting special steel, and Romania will certainly not ignore it, so it is inevitable to purchase high-quality iron ore from Northern Europe.

At present, North Europe exports 11 million tons of iron ore to Germany each year, and 7 million tons to Romania. As long as Britain and France land in Norway, high-quality iron ore from Norway and northern Sweden will become impossible.

In the face of Romania’s interests, this must be considered.

So after thinking about it, your admiral said. "Your Majesty, currently the 8th Wing has two squadrons of HF201 fighters on break, and the 5th Wing deployed in Thessani can also be able to transfer a squadron. In addition, it is currently possible to transfer a squadron on the Aegean Islands. In addition, two newly-trained brigades are drawn from the country, which is enough to satisfy the establishment of one wing."

Hearing Ankerdra's answer, Edel nodded in satisfaction. However, when he saw the admiral who was eager to talk, he knew what he was thinking. Didn't he feel distressed about the HF201 drawing a team, so he was kind to persuade him.

"I know what you are thinking. I will give priority to the air force for the newly manufactured fighters."

Edel's words did not make Ankerdra feel at ease, only the admiral, his Excellency, asked. "Thank your majesty for your concern, but for the current air force, the demand for bombers is higher than that of fighters. Can the government be allowed to tilt the bombers a bit in terms of resources, especially in the production of RU80 four-engine bombers. Wolf’s factory can only produce 18 aircraft per month, and the production speed is completely insufficient."

Edel's words surprised Edel. He didn't expect that what the Secretary of the Air Force wanted most was not an eye-catching fighter, but a four-engine bomber that hadn't shown its power at all.

In fact, as the Secretary of the Air Force, Ankerdra is not satisfied with the Air Force’s gradual degeneration into a tactical air force. Think about it, the current tasks of the Air Force are basically to seize air supremacy, and to cooperate with the tasks of the navy and the army, the air force basically plays a supporting role. There are no missions completely controlled by the Air Force.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Romania’s current combat goals, but Ankerdra, as the head of the Air Force, will certainly not be content with the status quo. He also wants others to see that the Air Force has made greater contributions to the war.

Then there is nothing more suitable for his requirements than a four-shot bomber. Think about a long range of two to three thousand kilometers. It can completely carry out strategic bombing of the enemy’s safe rear, attack the enemy’s industrial production and transportation hubs, and let the enemy fight against Romania. Can't play at the level it should be. What a beautiful picture this is, it's exciting just thinking about it.

That's why he is not satisfied with the strategic bomber that has only produced a wing in one year. And now taking this opportunity, Ankerdra certainly wants to fight for it.

Faced with Ankerdra's request, Edel couldn't help but smile. Of course, he knew the mind of the head of the Air Force and wanted to show the Air Force's greater capabilities in order to get enough attention.

For this, Edel will not object to this. Besides, at this time, he also recognizes the Air Force’s demand for strategic bombers At present, Romania is very satisfied with the situation on all fronts, although what he is not dealing with The main force of Britain and France, but it is good to be able to accomplish the set goals. So at this time, Edel began to focus on the construction of the strategic air force.

Although Romania has even won the Suez Canal in the Middle East, he does not think that the British army under Commander Wavell can become a stepping stone for the Romanian chariot, judging from the current performance of the Romanian army. Unless the British army decides to abandon the British Isles and send local elite troops to support Egypt, the fall of the Suez Canal will be unavoidable.

Just the dominant navy and air forces, is enough for this admiral to drink a pot.

Therefore, on March 11, Romania’s newly established Air Force 12 Wing moved from the homeland to the Baltic Sea. They will join their German counterparts here to ensure the German air superiority over Norway.

Although Germany is preparing to invade Norway, the main target remains the same as the French mainland. But how will they face France's carefully constructed Maginot Line?
