Chapter 1807： Tilted balance

"Hehe, looking at it this way, the British Empire is completely isolated this time, but what about Japan? As a member of the Allied Powers, the Japanese actually made a fortune when we and the French were dragged down by the war. This is simply unimaginable." General Haig laughed at himself.

"Okay, I have finished talking about the things that should be said, so now, General Haig, do you have anything else you need to tell me to the Prime Minister?" Chamberlain said.

"We need more planes, camel fighters, FB27 bombers, DH9 interceptors, anyway, as long as they can fly." General Haig thought for a while and said.

"You should tell the Ministry of Defense about this matter?" Chamberlain said embarrassingly.

"I have had at least a dozen reports with the Ministry of Defence and the Secretary of the Army, but the aircraft I needed could not be approved. And what made me most unacceptable was that when the British Expeditionary Force withdrew from the Balkans, it was originally assigned The aircraft for the expeditionary force was taken away by the navy, and then it was put on the Shetland Islands to play cat and mouse with the transport ship! Millions of British Army soldiers were investigating in artillery fire, bullet rain, and muddy trenches. And a lot of planes are blowing on the Shetland Islands! This is a crime!" General Haig said that he was a little excited.

"You know? If you go to the front line now, you can see those Bavarian Air Forces spreading death wantonly on the Eastern Front and the Balkan Front! They are powerful and brutal. After they came to the battlefield, we have lost more than 600. All kinds of planes! (Of course, this is the result of the outbreak of the battle, the subtle calculations plus the underdogs of the British.) Our planes cannot even guarantee the safety of our heads! "General Haig walked to the window a few steps and opened the window. Pointed to the sky and said.

And at this moment, the air defense alarm suddenly sounded. A minute later, General Haig’s chief of guard rushed in with the guard: "General, it's an air strike alarm. The German bombers are here!"

"Fuck, what's the situation?!" Chamberlain shuddered. Last week he heard that the Royal Air Force ruled the Western Front. Why is it that people are bombing the headquarters now?

"Sir, this is our current situation. When the Germans concentrate their full strength, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed in an instant." On the way to the air-raid shelter, General Haig continued to explain.

Actually, the matter is not as serious as Chamberlain thought. Since the war has been upgraded from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, the restrictions on air power on both sides of the battlefield are very fragile. Even the weaker air force may still attack the stronger air force. This was true not only in World War I, but also in World War II. For example, during the British Air War, the British bombed Berlin, and in the 43 years of strategic bombing by the United Kingdom and the United States, the German HE177 still bombed the United Kingdom.

So, at this time, the British’s rear was bombed. It’s not surprising. What’s more important is that this time when Chamberlain, the imperial minister, had a meeting with Haig, the German bomber arrived, and it happened to be here. Over the army headquarters, in fact, the scope of the German airstrike this time was relatively limited, but two squadrons of medium bombers, and the airstrike target was a nearby material warehouse, not here...

So what is the current situation? In the report to General Haig, the chief commander of the British Air Force, Marshal Trenchard described it as follows: As the Bavarian Air Force gradually entered the western front, the air power between the two sides gradually became balanced. According to our speculation, Bavaria is currently The Air Force has at least 800 aircraft operating on the Western Front, most of which are fighter jets. If we maintain this number, then we can barely cope with it, but if the Bavarian Air Force once again mobilizes the main force to enter the Western Front, even the Austro-Hungarian Air Force If you also come over, the Western Front Air Force will be completely at a disadvantage in three months!

As Marshal Trenchard who has played with the Bavarian Air Force in the Balkans for nearly a year, he still knows his opponent very well. He estimated that the total number of first-tier aircraft of the Bavarian Air Force is at least about 2,000, and there are a large number of second-tier aircraft that can enter the first line at any time. If you don't count the aircraft attached to the navy, the number of first-line aircraft in the entire western front before the German army is not enough! The Bavarian Air Force can reach half of the number of German aircraft on the western front! In terms of combat effectiveness, it is more than half!

what is the root cause? This is not to say that the aviation capacity of the Kingdom of Bavaria is already comparable to that of Prussia, but that it consumes too little. Don’t talk about the Eastern Front. Even when the Russian Air Force is at its strongest, it is nothing more than a big trouble for the Bavarian Air Force. The losses caused by accidents and weather will always be greater than the losses caused by the Russian Air Force~www.novelhall. com~ As for the Balkans and Asia Minor front? Although Trenchard was in charge for a period of time, at the beginning the two sides could be considered balanced, but after a long war of attrition, in the eyes of Britain and France, it was only a separate battlefield, facing the entire Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire. Under the weight of the main force of the aviation force, the exchange ratio has always been a more tragic issue, and eventually the Allied Balkan Aviation Corps disappeared.

In other words, since the start of the war, the Bavarian Air Force has never received a heavy blow. So his fleet and pilot team are actually rising steadily! If it were not for the logistical and economic pressure brought by a large number of aircraft groups deployed on the front lines, the size of the Bavarian Air Force could actually continue to rise.

Trenchard always believed that the Kingdom of Bavaria did not do its best in this virtuous circle, because even if Trenchard made a fierce battle in the Balkans and exchanged blood with its opponents, it could still fight in one day. Lost more than 60 aircraft. But within a week at most, the British reconnaissance aircraft can discover that the Bavarian Air Force is full of blood....

Although the end of the Balkan war has brought back blood to the British and French air forces, this is only temporary, because the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian air forces are also free! Although the latter is not very elite, as a European power, it is not a big problem to come up with 3,000 aircraft when it has been mixing the eastern route! Therefore, Lieutenant General Trenchard clearly told General Haig that if the allied aviation forces were to be concentrated, Britain and France at this stage would definitely not be able to support it.
