When all the personnel arrived, the commander of the 2nd Air Force, Air Marshal Albert Kesselring, sat in the conference hall with a blank face, and his eyes scanned the circle of people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people who were looked at by him like this were all nervous and uneasy.

Although Kesselring is a relatively simple soldier in normal times, and he also hates power struggles, it does not mean that he has no temper.

In particular, everyone knew that they had suffered heavy losses in order to rescue the defeated German troops on the Bang Kok Peninsula.

"Before today's meeting begins, I want to know if you know how many planes we have left to fight?"

When he saw that everyone was staring at him nervously, Kesselring gently cleared his throat and spoke.

"There are probably 65 more to fight!"

When Kesselring had finished speaking, it was a long time before a timid commander stood up and, in a very solemn manner, replied.

"Captain Crook, can you give me a little more details?"

Kesselring stared at the other without the slightest mood swing.

"Yes, Commander! We now only have 15 JU88s in the 3rd Group, 15 FW190s in the 1st Group, and 35 ME109 fighters in the 2nd Group available! All the other planes were wiped out! ”

Captain Crook's muscles tensed on the ground and he said nervously.

"Hmmm! You're doing a great job! At the very least, we can clearly understand the heavy losses faced by our Second Air Force! ”

Kesselring nodded in satisfaction.

At the same time, he waved his hand lightly and motioned for the other party to sit down.

"I'm not calling you here today to teach you a lesson, or to punish that one! The main purpose of my meeting here today is to tell you a few things! The first thing is that we will assign the two fighter squadrons under the command of the independent air command in the Balkans, as well as a night raid squadron, and a JU88 long-range fighter squadron, as well as the last three close reconnaissance squadrons, including their ME323 transport fleet, and JU52 transport fleet, to our second air fleet! ”

"And the second thing is that according to the order of the Führer and Speer, our empire will completely shut down and stop production of HE177, JU52, JU290, AR196, DFS230, and GO242, as well as HE111, DO24, HS129 and other aircraft from now on! At this stage, our aircraft production line will produce all new fighters and bombers, such as the Ar234 "Lightning" jet bomber, the ta152 fighter, and the Me262 jet fighter; There are also JU388J, DO335, FW190D, and Me262 night fighters ......"

"That is to say, from today onwards, I and all of you will have to re-train for new models of fighters and bombers; and intellectual training, as well as combat command training! Because we are about to fight a large-scale campaign in Sicily against the Anglo-American allies in two months; And the order for this campaign is the latest order given to us by the Führer! ”

"The third thing is that our Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering, because of the defection, has been removed from all powers and party membership by the Führer!"

Kesselring said a few things in one breath.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, gasped a few times in shock, and held their breath; With wide eyes and ears pricked up intently, he continued to wait for Kesselring's next words.

"The new Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force will be the Führer himself, and I will continue to serve as your commander, which means that our Second Air Force will not have any major changes except for the merger of the Balkan Flying Force!"

Seeing this, Kesselring continued to speak calmly.

"But the most important thing for us now is to become proficient as soon as possible with the new fighter and bomber performance that the Führer has given us! Because of the combat of flying these aircraft, according to my discussion with most of the instructors in the training institution, we have come to a conclusion, that is, you must practice these new aircraft for at least 3 to 4 months before you can really get familiar with their combat performance and have a good record! ”

"Otherwise, if we face the U.S. Army's P51 Mustang, the British Army's Spitfire IX fighter, and the B25 bomber, as well as the Mosquito fighter-bomber and other new aircraft, then our victory rate will be very slim!"

"Of course, in order to make your training enthusiasm more high, and your fighting spirit more vigorous; Our esteemed head of state has not only sent you a large number of new fighters and bombers for special training and use; And from today onwards, your monthly salary will be doubled, and your food will be even better than before! In addition to this, the Führer also gives you all the pilots who have performed well in the rescue operation on the Bang Kok Peninsula, and you will be promoted and rich! and the award of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Medal! ”

Seeing this, Kesselring continued without delay.

Hearing this, all the pilots, whether they were aces, rookies, or old fritters, cheered in unison and praised Chen Yanlong, the fake head of state, for his wise leadership.

As for the other flying officers, they were all smiling and discussing.

Kesselring, on the other hand, silently watched his subordinates' excited and excited performances, while still showing a knowing smile.

After that, Kesselring personally led the team to visit the 600 TA152 fighters that Chen Yanlong had allocated to him.

When all the pilots of the Second Air Force saw this fighter, which was hailed as the ultimate piston fighter, they were instantly messy, disbelieving, and couldn't believe it.

Because they never dreamed that Chen Yanlong would have such an advanced and well-performing fighter for them to use for training and future combat.

For the pilot, if he can have a good fighter to fight, then he will have an extra hole card to save his life.

As soon as these high-altitude and high-speed piston fighters were obtained, and before Kesselring could order them to step up their training, all the pilots of the entire Second Air Force were already scrambling to scramble for these TA152 fighters to train automatically.

In this regard, Kesselring didn't know whether to laugh or scold for a while.

So he could only smile wryly, standing aside and laughing at his subordinates frantically scrambling for fighter training.
