Chapter 73: Strong Contrast (Revision)
What happened below is enough to explain why in World War I, Germany had fewer pilots and fewer planes than the Allies. But on the battlefield, their planes still had air superiority until the Allies had absolute numbers of aircraft and pilots.
This can also be shown that Germany's defeat in the First World War was not a war crime!
In almost the same thing as the French army, the German side was much more humane than the French army, which was full of bureaucratic style.
The defeat in the air battle, accompanied by the painful screams of the wounded pilots in the field hospital, spread throughout every corner of the base, and in addition to admiring Richthofen's performance and the nickname "Red Baron", the "Satanic Eagle" from the Entente, the rest was nothing more than fights, prostitution and other things that could temporarily relieve people's mental stress.
The commanders of the "hunting squad" generally don't care about the kind of things that happen above. Waldo. Polk knew that, in general, these guys who still had some grace in the sky would look a little bit like some kind of beast when they fell to the ground.
At this point, it is important not to let them go too far from the camp, so that they are not likely to cause any big trouble. On this sad day after the defeat in the air battle, he himself liked to drink some spirits to ward off his pain. So, a quiet and mournful time was what all of them needed to return from heaven to earth, including Inmaiman, who sat across from him and was also silently drinking a strong drink.
Soon they listened to a block message.

"Report to the sir, Sergeant Richthofen rushed through the sentry on a motorcycle, supposedly to teach the gunner who shot down his plane a lesson!"
Unexpected circumstances made Valdo. Polk and his teammate, Yinmaiman, glanced at each other, then threw down their glasses and jumped at the same time. They knew that the more good the pilot behaved in the sky, the more angry he became after falling underground, and if he really wanted to find the gunner, the most direct possibility was that he would ask for a duel with the other party.
In the absence of a response, the only thing he will do is to directly pull out his pistol and kill the other party, and bury his future for it.
"Oh my God, that's a bastard who can do anything!"
"Gather the guards, let's go!"
By the time they reached the anti-aircraft gun position, the scene was already in chaos, and the request for a duel in Richhotfen was apparently rejected by the lieutenant company commander of the anti-aircraft gun here.
He was now being crushed by several strong gunners, and the half-drunk Richthofen was still screaming and swearing, and his anger had made him completely forget his aristocratic status.
"You despicable pigs, let me go, and I'm going to duel with every one of you!"
Subsequently until the Valdo. Polk and him frowned together, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately there was no irreparable bloodshed.
Waldo, the leader of the Caracal Squad. Polk came to the commander of the anti-aircraft gun, and his rank of second lieutenant was one level lower than that of the opponent's lieutenant, so he saluted the other party with a "snap".
"Officer, although I am embarrassed by my rudeness to my men, I am disappointed that your men have treated my men unfairly, and I think it will affect you that you obviously support such a move......"
The officer sitting in the chair was for Waldo. Polk's salute was nothing more than a return salute, and from the tone of his words that followed his reply, he knew that Richhotfen had really angered the other party.
"Hmph, does a non-commissioned officer of the flying team have privileges? You can break into our positions on a motorcycle and fight our soldiers, hmph, I'm not a knight, and I don't have a noble title, so ......"
As he spoke, he stopped his deliberately belittling words about the pilot, and stared at Valdo in front of him with wide eyes. Polk, as if he had seen another guy as crazy as Rishi Khotfen.
Already pulling out a pistol and pointing it at the head of the commander of the anti-aircraft gun, Waldo. Polk's face was cold and calm, and the coldness of the words in his mouth made the hairs on the lieutenant's back even stand on end.
"Mr. Lieutenant, I think my subordinates have the right to demand a fair showdown, and you will use your orders to ensure that you will support my proposal, do you think I am right to say that?"
Speaking of which, Waldo. Polk sent his pistol forward, the nose wide open indicating that his words were an absolute empty threat.
"You, are you crazy? I promise you'll be court-martialed for it! ”
The lieutenant said something threatening, but he immediately gave the order to stop the beating that was going on in the field. Now that his purpose has been achieved, Waldo. Polk put away his pistol and said.
"This is the law that our imperial soldiers should abide by, and as for going to the military court, we are ready to accompany you at any time!"
In the middle of the field, Richhotefen, who had been crushed by the strong gunners, jumped up like a ball and roared loudly despite the blood on his face.
"I said I would come back to settle accounts with you, gentlemen, and now tell me which dog bastard broke my plane!"
……
The lawsuit caused by this incident went all the way to the commander-in-chief of the front, Crown Prince Wilhelm. As the weather cleared, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been tortured by the opposing air force, rolled his eyes and immediately found his position.
"A lieutenant who shot down his own plane, isn't he wrong at all? Or are the pilots who endure their own despicable blows in the sky and still fight bloodily? Moreover, the most intolerable thing is that they actually used such a scoundrel method as a group beating against a nobleman, are they going to treat me like this in a few days? Have you forgotten that I was a nobleman first, and then a crown prince? As for the guys in the flying team, please tell them what I said, winning the battle on the ground is nothing, and having the ability to take back the sky from the Allied planes for His Highness to see. ”
A storm was exposed by the crown prince in this way, and naturally there would be no military court.
All this also made more pilots strive to pursue flying skills and take joining the "hunting team" as their own direction, so that the German pilots were greatly motivated.
It goes without saying that after this incident, the top pilots in the German flying team were more unpopular, and the commanders of the hunting squads were more protective of their calves, and Richhottfen's plane was painted bright red as he wished, and because of the laurel of "Ace Pilot", he began to use the title of "Red Baron".
"Satan's Eagle, wait for me, I'm coming!"
