Chapter 865: The Art of Manipulating People

Early morning June 4, 1916, Radom in the southern part of the Mazovian province of Poland. In the standby room, a group of Japanese pilots had just finished their training, and a group of people lined up in a neat line and walked towards the apron area of the airport under the leadership of the officer.

These are the Japanese pilots with the signboard of the poor Polish 5th Air Force, who may have come from any city in North and South Japan before arriving at this airport, but when they arrived, they were the 5th Air Force, which represented the image and honor of the whole of Japan.

As the first rays of light broke through the clouds, the pilots climbed into the cockpit.

One plane after another took off, and Kazugang Aso sat in the cockpit of a Harrier fighter, also waiting to take off, and behind him was his wingman Taro Ishihara. Before it was their turn to take off, Kazuko Aso looked back to see the status of the wingman, and he saw Taro Ishihara leaning back in his chair. The two men looked at each other, and they both smiled. One from Kumamoto and the other from Tokyo, two pilots who had been hostile forces a year ago are now comrades-in-arms who rely on each other. Taro Ishihara held up a contact board to show him, which read: "Martial arts for a long time!" Aso Yigang smiled and also raised the contact board, the same is "martial arts for a long time".

The officer commanding the takeoff waved a green light, and another Harrier fighter flew straight into the air, rushing into the white and shining sky. Then, it was Aso's turn to take the post. He released the brakes and took off in his Harrier fighter, followed by Taro Ishihara. When the cheers of the ground crew at the base were loud, more than 100 planes had completely lifted off.

Within 15 minutes, 128 planes from the two air groups were lifted off on all six runways. They flew in a tight line towards the Warsaw battlefield in the north. As you can imagine, it will not be long before Warsaw. Another large-scale air battle will be in full swing.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, a Fokker reconnaissance plane was flying alone. It's 5:13 a.m. Captain Konstantin. Lieutenant Felenbach had just driven the plane out of the clouds.

"Lookout, three o'clock! Three o'clock! Is that a fleet? The navigator's voice trembled with excitement.

Constantine. Felenbach's face was unusually serious, if it was really a group of planes looming on the other side, then the Luftwaffe in Warsaw would usher in another big battle.

"OK it's the fleet, OK again!"

"Send a telegram at once. We burrowed into the clouds. ”

The appearance of the Fokker reconnaissance plane also caught the opposing group by surprise. As soon as the two Harrier fighters tried to come over and kill the reconnaissance plane, he burrowed headlong into the clouds again. To the depression of the Japanese pilots.

Apparently, the operation was discovered. The commander of the Polish Air Force was clear that opposite was a German reconnaissance plane, if the Germans reacted quickly enough. When the group came to the sky over Warsaw, it would be able to meet the German group that came to intercept it. This is not good news, but fighter pilots such as Kazugang Aso and Taro Ishihara are faintly happy.

This is to make them fight!

At 6:35 a.m., the German air base in Warsaw received a telegram from a reconnaissance plane, and the entire base raised an alarm, and one after another Fokker fighters began to take off urgently. After 20 minutes, all 145 fighters of the entire base were lifted into the air.

The Germans did not dare to let their flock of fighting chickens take the initiative to intercept the opponent's group, and all the German planes were stalled over Warsaw, relying on the anti-aircraft fire network on the ground. Only in this way can we have the capital to resist more than 100 Chinese aircraft.

After using the clouds to get rid of the entanglement of enemy fighters, Konstantin . Felenbach's planes continued to search in the direction in which enemy aircraft appeared. Finally he sent back a second telegram to the base, expecting the number of enemy aircraft to be more than a hundred. As a reconnaissance aircraft, Konstantin. The Felenbach crew did their best and did their duty.

Pilot Hans sat in the cockpit of the Fokker F-2A. This is the most advanced aircraft of the Germans today, and it is also the most advanced fighter in the whole of Europe. It is an improved version of the second-generation fighter developed on the basis of the first-generation Fokker fighter, but it is a fighter against the opponent. The F-2A fighter is still not a match at all.

On the current battlefield on the Northern Front, the Germans used all means. It can only be 3:1 or 4:1 sustained with the Chinese plane. The huge number and sacrifice of German aircraft were used to maintain a certain degree of air supremacy on their side.

But this air supremacy was based on the huge disparity in the number of aircraft on both sides, the Great Battle of Warsaw on June 4. The number of Chinese aircraft is not much less than that of the Germans. An air squadron that had arrived at Radom airfield only after a day's rest, and without even giving the Germans time to know, quickly launched the plan for this great air battle. Of the 128 aircraft of the two air groups, the number of fighters was as high as 80, a figure that directly exceeded the figure of 2: 1, which the Germans could not parry.

After about half an hour of fighting over Warsaw, 81 of the 147 German F-2A fighters were shot down by Chinese planes, and 15 Chinese Harrier series fighters were shot down and destroyed by German fighters and German anti-aircraft fire. But this number compared to the Chinese fighter as a whole, only a small part of the overall situation, the Germans could not bear this huge casualties, fled in a hurry, the remaining 66 fighters directly across Warsaw to the north fled, they withdrew from the battlefield, but also exposed their flight bases to the eyes of the Chinese bombers, and incidentally lost the air supremacy over the entire Warsaw.

6.4 The air battle became a landmark turning point in the history of the Battle of Warsaw. Again, the Polish and Russian poor party armies did not pose a real threat to Warsaw, the core city of Poland. However, a large-scale air battle suddenly began with an air force, and after June 4, the Russian-Polish forces, which completely occupied air supremacy in the Warsaw area, launched a fierce attack on the Polish White Army and a small number of German troops in the Warsaw area one after another.

First Valka, then Garvolin, and finally Otwartsk, the poor party army was only one step away from Warsaw. The Polish White Army, which numbered as many as 150,000 men, was defeated by the poor Russian-Polish army, which barely outnumbered 100,000 men, and finally the Germans had to transfer only one army from Belarus to defend Warsaw. It was also the rear road to defend the German army.

Only then did the Russian-Polish coalition stop and voluntarily withdrew from the city of Otvodsk. Expand the distance between the two sides to more than 50 km.

The Battle of Warsaw ended, and the Poor Party forces did not accomplish their strategic purpose of occupying Warsaw. But they completely crushed the fighting spirit of the Polish White Army, and the Polish White Army, which Pilsudski had managed to regroup, suffered a mortal wound again. And they let an army of Germans withdraw from the Belarusian battlefield, more or less relieving a little pressure on the Belarusian corridor, which is still in the midst of fierce fighting.

With the large-scale expansion of the Chinese army, the number of pilots is also increasing exponentially, especially after the training of pilots from various countries, the Nguyen Dynasty, Japan, Korea, and the Southern Heavenly Kingdom have provided a large number of qualified pilots for this war.

The advent of airplanes has made the era of warships seem to be a thing of the past, and of the four vassal states of the Nguyen Dynasty, Japan, Korea, and Japan, for example, there are few plans to purchase naval ships in the next five years. Li Chao turned all the way up and down to build an air force.

After all, compared with warships, the cost of the former is much smaller. 500, 800, 1,000, among all China's vassal countries, North Korea, which is not rich, and even the poor population far exceeds that of Ukraine, is the first country with more than 1,000 military fighters. Also therefore, in the Ottoman theater and the Nordic theater. A large number of North Korean pilots appeared everywhere.

With the large increase in the number of pilots from these subject countries and the arrival of a steady stream of Chinese pilots, combined with the arrival of a large number of fighters, the European aviation forces on both battlefields are undergoing severe tests. The aerial bombs and incendiary bombs that fell from the sky became the most unforgettable dream demons of the armies of the European powers.

It is also because of the gradual superiority of aviation forces, whether it is the Ottoman battlefield or the Nordic battlefield. Both the Ottomans and the Russians held their lines firmly, trading relatively few casualties and costs for more casualties and costs from the European powers.

As long as you keep doing this, it will be next year. The five major European powers, Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Italy, will reconsider the prospect of war.

And the timing of China's attack on the United States is in the operational plan of the General Staff Headquarters. It's set for early summer next year.

Liu Xian did not seem to be in a complete war with Europe, but he wanted to gain benefits. So this mentality is problematic, and his little abacus is also full of uncertainty. The most likely performance should be to take a step after opening it.

Therefore, based on the mentality of Emperor Liu, who only wants to take advantage and does not want to pay a lot, China is now going all out to support the Ottomans and the poor party Russia. It is hoped that they will be able to consume as much of the strength of the Europeans as possible. Let the Europeans seriously think about the costs and consequences of an all-out war with Great China.

As for what the Ottoman Empire and poor party Russia could get? That's also lucrative. As long as it persists to the end, the Ottoman Empire will be able to re-establish its new image in this series of wars, and unite the entire heavenly world with its outstanding military exploits, and it will be difficult to become a world power, but it will be safe to become a regional power.

That's what Istanbul is all about!

And what about Moscow's pursuit? It's geming, big output. The Chinese took care of this on the roads they laid out, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Balkans, all of which they could gem export. And now Moscow already has the first little brother of the poor party Poland.

Therefore, although the Ottoman Empire and the poor party Russia were forced and rushed to open a film with the European powers at the beginning, but until the war has been fought, the two countries that have regained their pursuit have been enthusiastically and fully invested.

In particular, Moscow, Ulyanov and others are not idiots, they have long seen clearly Beijing's plan, it is impossible for the poor party to unify Russia, and the confrontation between the east and the west in Russia in the future is certain. Just like the north-south confrontation in China's history, it may not be resolved in the next century. To the south of the poor party, Ukraine, Beijing's loyal dog, is blocking the way, and if Beijing does not let go, they will have absolutely no chance to expand.

Now Beijing has opened a small crack for Moscow by means of land exchange - the Belarusian corridor, and then it has taken a small half of Poland all the way and established a poor Polish government, which is unimaginably huge for Moscow. A successful example is already in front of us, will the second and third be far away?

Czechoslovakia, the Balkan Union, although there are no powerful countries in the territories demarcated by Beijing, if these territories are all controlled by the poor party ideology, Moscow, as the leading big brother of the poor party state, will completely restore its status as a European power. With these little brothers, even if it no longer relies on China behind it, Moscow has the confidence to affirm the war between Britain and Germany. Not to mention that these territories are new markets, and these territories contain much-needed food resources for Moscow.

The Moscow government does not want to break away from the 'shackles' of the northwest economic and trade circle of Greater China, which makes the entire Moscow government prosperous, but simply wants to get rid of the terrible situation of being completely controlled by others. After all, there is still a long, long way to go, and no one can say for sure that China will change one day.

Moscow is preparing for a rainy day, seeking a way back for the poor party Russia in the worst of the changing conditions.

As for whether the newly established poor party states will listen to China and not obey Moscow's orders, Ulyanov and others did not consider this at all. Just because they are exactly the same poor party government, a poor party government caught between Europe with the power of the hostile class and China with the unrivaled power of the country behind it, they [poor party countries] are absolutely very united and huddle together for warmth. And in this way, Moscow also has a little more capital to make demands on China.

There is an old Chinese saying that it is better to make a mistake than to do it. This sentence is well understood. When Liu Xian was just a small admiral, he was used by the scheming Zeng Guofan in Shahe, Chenzhou. Although Zeng Guofan's stern words could not shake Liu Xian's mind at all, Liu Xian was also in a cold sweat under the pressure of the situation.

But Liu Xian's decades of imperial experience made him feel that although it is not as good as making a skill, it is not as good as controlling desire!

With what his heart wants, he uses it.

At this moment, the Chinese government is using the 'wants' of the Ottomans and Moscow to achieve its own 'use'.

In the summer of 1916, when the Russian-Polish battlefield was raging, the Ottoman aircraft carrier formation rampaging in the eastern Mediterranean suffered another blow, and another aircraft carrier was hit by a French submarine and was very neatly immersed in the deep sea. This is a much bigger loss than the 'first' loss in March. On that occasion, the aircraft carrier group was damaged by submarines, and both aircraft carriers returned to the ports of the Dardanelles and, after a brief repair, returned to Istanbul for major repairs. This time, one was directly sunk, all the planes on the ship were lost, and the famous Japanese general Shichiro Kataoka, who had the title of "Bey" in the Ottoman Empire, sank with 330 sailors with the ship.

The entire aircraft carrier formation was like an angry bull, but it failed to catch the thief hiding in the sea...... (To be continued.) )
