Chapter 1807 The Tilted Scale

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

"Okay, I have said what needs to be said. Now, General Haig, is there anything else you want me to convey to the Prime Minister?" Chamberlain said.

"We need more aircraft, Camel fighter jets, FB27 bombers, DH9 interceptors, whatever, as long as they can fly." General Haig thought for a while and said.

"You should tell the Ministry of Defense about this, right?" Chamberlain said with some embarrassment.

"I have made at least a dozen reports to the Minister of Defense and the Secretary of War, but the aircraft I need have never been approved. And the most unacceptable thing to me is that after the British Expeditionary Force withdrew from the Balkans, the aircraft originally assigned to it were Part of the aircraft for the expeditionary force was actually taken away by the navy, and then put on the Shetland Islands to play cat and mouse with the transport ships! Millions of British Army soldiers were conducting reconnaissance amidst artillery fire, rain of bullets, and muddy trenches. But a large number of aircraft are flying over the Shetland Islands! This is simply a crime!" General Haig said, feeling a little excited here.

"Do you know? If you go to the front line now, when you look up, you can see the Bavarian Air Force 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 an outbreak of war, a sophisticated calculation and the underestimation of the British enemy.) Our planes cannot even guarantee the safety above our heads!" General Haig walked to the window in a few steps, and after opening the window, He pointed his finger at the sky.

At this moment, the air defense siren suddenly sounded. A minute later, General Haig's captain of the bodyguard rushed in with his guards: "General, it's an air raid siren. German bombers are coming!"

"What the hell?!" Chamberlain trembled. Last week he heard that the Royal Air Force was ruling the Western Front. Why did someone bomb 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.

In fact, the matter is far less serious than Chamberlain imagined. Since the war was upgraded from two dimensions to three dimensions, the restrictions on air power on both sides of the battlefield have been very fragile. Even the weaker air force may still attack the stronger air force. This was not only true in World War 1, but also in World War 2. For example, during the Battle of Britain, the British bombed Berlin. In the 43 years since Britain and the United States carried out strategic bombing, the German HE177 still bombed Britain.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the British rear was bombed at this time. What is more surprising is that this time when Chamberlain, the Imperial Envoy, was having a meeting with Haig, the German bombers arrived, and by chance they happened to arrive at the British Over the military headquarters, in fact, the scale of the German air attack this time was relatively limited, but it consisted of two squadrons of medium bombers, and the target of the air attack was a nearby material warehouse, not here...

So what is the current real situation? Marshal Trenchard, the top leader of the British Air Force, described it this way in his report to General Haig: As the Bavarian Air Force gradually enters the Western Front, the air power of the two sides gradually becomes more balanced. According to our speculation, the Bavaria Air Force currently The Air Force has at least 800 aircraft fighting on the Western Front, most of which are fighter jets. If this number is maintained,

Then we can barely cope with it, but if the Bavarian Air Force once again dispatches its main force to the Western Front, or even the Austro-Hungarian Air Force comes over, the Western Front Air Force will be completely at a disadvantage in three months!

As Marshal Trenchard, who has fought with the Bavarian Air Force in the Balkan Theater for nearly a year, he still knows his opponents very well. He estimated that the total number of front-line aircraft currently in the Bavarian Air Force is at least about 2,000, and there are also a large number of second-line aircraft that can enter the front line at any time. You must know that excluding the aircraft attached to the navy, the German army on the entire Western Front had only a handful of front-line aircraft! The Bavarian Air Force can reach half the number of aircraft on the German Western Front! And if we talk about combat effectiveness, it is more than half!

what is the root cause? This does not mean that the aviation production capacity of the Kingdom of Bavaria is comparable to that of Prussia, but that the consumption is too little. Not to mention the Eastern Front, even when the Russian Air Force is at its strongest, it is just a bigger trouble for the Bavarian Air Force, because the losses caused by accidents and weather are always greater than the losses caused by the Russian Air Force... ..

As for the Balkans and Asia Minor fronts? Although Trenchard had been in charge for a period of time, the two sides could be considered evenly matched at the beginning. However, after a long war of attrition, Britain and France saw it as just a divided battlefield, facing the entire Bavaria and Austria-Hungary Empire. Under the heavy pressure of the main aviation force, the exchange ratio has always been a relatively sad problem. In the end, the Allied Balkan Aviation Corps disappeared.

In other words, since the beginning of the war, the Bavarian Air Force has never received a heavy blow. So his fleet and pilot team are actually growing steadily! If the logistical and economic pressure brought by the deployment of a large number of aircraft fleets on the front lines were not a bit high, the size of the Bavarian Air Force could actually continue to increase.

Trenchard always believed that the Kingdom of Bavaria did not do its best in this virtuous cycle, because even after Trenchard made a ruthless attack in the Balkans and exchanged blood with his opponents, he could still fight for a day. Dropped more than 60 enemy aircraft. But within a week at most, British reconnaissance planes can discover that the Bavarian Air Force is full of blood again...

Although the end of the Balkan War allowed the British and French aviation forces to recover somewhat, this was only temporary, because the Bavarian and Austro-Hungarian Empire aviation forces were also freed up! Although the latter is not very elite, as a European power, it is not a big problem to take out 3,000 aircraft when it has been on the Eastern Front! Therefore, Lieutenant General Trenchard clearly told General Haig that if the Allied aviation forces were concentrated, Britain and France would definitely not be able to sustain it at this stage.
