Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

As mentioned earlier, Göring has now become an obstacle to the Luftwaffe.

In the later stages of the Battle of Britain, Göring intensified his efforts.

Through the Battle of Britain, everyone realized that the air force would be the key force to change the state of future wars, and air supremacy was elevated to a more important position than sea supremacy.

After all, sea control only exists in the ocean, but air control can still have a huge impact on land.

Goering, as the German Air Force Minister, felt this particularly deeply.

At this time, other German generals, especially the German Navy, very much hoped to own aircraft carriers, so that the German Navy would be more confident in breaking the blockade of the Royal Navy and the Atlantic Fleet.

Goering jumped out at this time and declared: I will take care of anything that can fly in Germany.

After Commander-in-Chief of the German Navy Raeder complained to Mustache that British bombers continued to attack the northern coast but the air force was unable to provide protection for the German Navy, Mustache handed over the 40th Bomb Wing to the command of the German Navy.

Goering was extremely angry after hearing the news. He cursed Dönitz, commander of the naval submarine: "You can understand one thing. As long as I am alive, or before I resign, your Marshal Raeder will never get a chance."

A naval aviation force!”

This is not the first time Goering has exposed his arrogant character.

As early as when Goering first served as the German Air Force Minister, a dispute broke out within the German army over the bomber route. In the end, Air Force Chief of Staff Kesselring and Bomber Director Kurt Fokbier referred the dispute to Goering for handling.

Kesselring asked Göring: Do you have two options? Do you want to produce 1,000 four-engine bombers, or thousands of twin-engine bombers?

Goering's answer was simple: the Führer would only ask me how many bombers there were, not what kind they were.

As a result, the two Uralshan bomber prototypes that were ready for testing were turned into scrap metal. Germany did not develop a real strategic bomber until the end of World War II.

The biggest difference between Southern Africa and Germany is that there is a speaker in Southern Africa who clearly knows the future development direction of the Air Force.

Göring was not without merit. He was good at securing funding for the Air Force.

From January 1933 to August 1939, Germany spent a total of 64 billion marks on armaments, 40% of which was spent on the air force, and Goering was indispensable.

Göring was also loved by the Luftwaffe for a reason.

Southern Africa invests more in air force.

About 30 years ago, Southern Africa developed long-range strategic bombers almost at the same time as Russia.

Because of their limited strength, the Russians did not persist in their research on long-range strategic bombers.

Southern Africa has not been idle in the past few decades. It has continued to improve its long-range strategic bombers, which resulted in the current "Flying Fortress" and "Super Flying Fortress".

Considering the long distance to Berlin, the "Cheetah"s that escorted the bombers all used external fuel tanks, which effectively expanded the combat radius of the "Cheetahs".

When Rodri flew into the sky in the "Cheetah", Alan was still chattering in the headphones.

Rodri is now a super ace.

Alan is one step away from becoming an ace.

Alan is not bad at flying Rodri's wingman. The reason why he hasn't become an ace yet is because the Germans don't have enough aircraft.

After this battle, Alan should be able to get his wish.

"Okay, okay, if you encounter a German plane later, I will draw firepower for you." Rodri didn't care. He had shot down 35 German planes, including this one.

The number of 35 aircraft ranked first among all Allied pilots participating in the war.

During the months-long air battle, many ace pilots emerged from the Allied forces. Captain Allard of the 85th Squadron and Second Lieutenant Lacey of the 501st Squadron both had 23 victories.

Francesek of the Czech Republic ranked first among all foreign pilots participating in the war except for southern African pilots with a record of shooting down 17 aircraft.

Southern African pilots do not participate in the rankings, and their strength is the only one among all pilots.

The "Cheetah" was very fast and entered German airspace an hour later. Only then did the German Air Force react and send fighter planes to fight.

I have to say that Germans are indeed very capable of learning.

When the European War broke out, there was still a huge gap between the BF109 and the "Cheetah".

Even before the Battle of Britain broke out, the BF109 was far from a match for the "Cheetah".

Just in the past few days, Germany has upgraded the BF109. The newly installed engine can produce a maximum of 1,800 horsepower. Although it is still not as good as the "Cheetah", it has finally changed the situation of being unable to fight back and can pose a certain threat to the "Cheetah".

threaten.

Of course, there are still very few aircraft that can threaten the "Cheetah", and they are still not enough in front of the huge "Cheetah" fleet.

The first batch of "Cheetahs" that entered German airspace totaled 104, belonging to four air groups. The Second Air Force of Rodri and Alan all dispatched, and no one was absent.

After discovering the German aircraft, Rodri fulfilled his promise and took the initiative to attack the German aircraft, attracting firepower and creating opportunities for Alan.

At this time, the voices in the earphones came and went, and the pilots reminded each other and cooperated closely. All this was thanks to the air command aircraft flying at an altitude of 15,000 meters.

While British and German pilots still rely on hand gestures to communicate with each other, the air force in Southern Africa has implemented wireless communication.

Wireless calling technology has appeared a long time ago, but it has not been widely used in the Air Force due to the limitation of communication distance.

Therefore, if the Air Force wanted to use wireless communication, it needed a signal relay station in the air, so the air command aircraft came into being.

This is also thanks to the contribution of the Tesla Research Institute. With such a radio master, the Southern African Air Force even installed radars on air command aircraft to further strengthen the role of air command aircraft.

And the most important thing is that the flying altitude of the air command aircraft is above 15,000 meters. All current fighter jets cannot reach this flying altitude, not even the "Cheetah".

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the safety of the air command aircraft, not even escort fighters.

With prompts and early warnings from the air command aircraft, every pilot has a God's perspective to control the overall situation, and air combat becomes as simple as playing a game.

"Six enemy planes are about to arrive on the battlefield at six o'clock. The 35th Squadron will intercept them. Don't give the enemy any chance."

"There is a concealed field airport at 12 o'clock. The 107th Squadron quickly destroyed this field airport."

"The bomber formation flies directly to Berlin. You don't need to worry about this. The squadrons without combat missions will continue to escort."

Rodri's headset was the squadron communication channel. He and his comrades cooperated skillfully. As soon as the battle began, Alan shot down a BF109 and officially became an ace pilot.

"Congratulations to our Alan, the newly minted ace pilot, and congratulations to our 16th Squadron. We have reached the record of all members being ace pilots. Now we can change our name to 'Ace Squadron'" came the squadron leader Chen Jiaqing from the earphones.

The sound is indeed worthy of congratulations.

The main reason why Alan is so urgent is that among the four pilots of the 16th Squadron, he is the only one who is not an ace pilot.

There are not many ace pilots in southern Africa.

But among the squadrons composed entirely of aces, so far there is only one, the 16th Squadron.

This is a huge honor, not only for the 16th Squadron, but for the entire Second Air Force.

Of course, this honor is a complete disaster for the Germans.

Since southern Africa entered the war, the 16th Air Force had shot down 75 German aircraft.

On the way to Berlin, the German army dispatched countless fighter planes to desperately stop him.

The air battle was very fierce, and life and death could be determined in an instant.

Unlike the previous air battle over Britain, most pilots can be successfully rescued when parachuting in the English Channel or in the UK.

Even if he escaped death by parachuting in Germany, even if he was not killed by the angry Germans, the German army would probably not give the captured pilots treatment commensurate with his status.

Before setting off, both Rodri and Alan knew the danger of this operation.

Alan was unlucky. Not long after he became an ace pilot, the fighter jet Alan piloted was damaged and he had to struggle to return home.

Rodri felt heavy and secretly prayed for Alan, hoping that Alan could fly back successfully.

This road is also a long one.

"Rhodri, watch your left side"

Chen Jiaqing's reminder came from the earphones.

Rodri quickly raised the nose of the aircraft and climbed, when another BF109 flew over.

Rodri did not hesitate, and while climbing, he seized the fleeting opportunity and fired a burst at the BF109 on the opposite side.

BF109 also opened fire, but did not hit Rodri's phone.

Rodri hit the left wing of the BF109, and the BF109 quickly emitted thick smoke and fell downwards.

This is Rodri's 37th achievement. He has just shot down a BF109.

"Beautiful" Chen Jiaqing's praise came from the earphones!

Rodri had no time to respond, so he threw away the BF109 approaching from the left, and conveniently wounded another BF109 chasing the "Cheetah".

No. 38!

At this time, a BF109 dived from above and hit the tail of Rodri's plane. The "Cheetah" piloted by Rodri began to lose control.

"Rhodri, return immediately, return immediately," Chen Jiaqing's voice was anxious.

Rodri tried to control the "Cheetah" again, but failed. A large piece of skin fell off the tail of the "Cheetah", and its flight attitude was seriously affected, and it was falling rapidly downwards.

"Rhodri, parachute now, parachute now," Chen Jiaqing's roar made Rodri's ears buzz.

"Brothers, I can't continue fighting. I wish you good luck and never retreat!" After shouting long live, Rodri pressed the ejection button.

Bang

The cockpit roof popped open, followed by Rodri and his seat. The parachute opened smoothly a second later. Rodri felt like someone pulled him hard on his back. At this time, there were countless fighter jets in the sky.

During the chase, a BF109 quickly flew past Rodri. The airflow blew Rodri around, and danger suddenly appeared.

Fortunately, the pilot of BF109 did not shoot at Rodri.
