Vol 6 Chapter 27: Zhan Zhenghan

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The battle starts again. Compared with the evenly matched battle just now, the British army has fallen into an absolute disadvantage when the battle starts. Even with the aid of anti-aircraft artillery, nothing can be done.
Looking at the battle in the sky, Adrian Caton de Viart knew that it was over. The British Air Force had a quantitative advantage in the first round of the battle, and it has now been reversed.
Watching one of the fighter planes fall, Adrian's mood has turned into despair, and now their plane has fallen by one, and one is missing.
At this time, no matter how strong the British Empire was, it could not be launched into the Mediterranean unless the Royal Navy dared to venture into the Mediterranean to fight a decisive battle with the Bulgarian Navy.
Even if he is an army general, he knows that a decisive battle with the French coalition forces in the Mediterranean area is completely disastrous in the military.

London
After receiving the news that the fighting in the Mediterranean had started, Mr. Churchill broke out and immediately issued a speech in Congress, condemning Bulgaria for undeclared war.
Well, politically, his performance is full marks, but militaryly, what General Adrian needs is definitely not his moral support.
Unfortunately, what Sicily needs is reinforcements, and the Egyptian and South African regions are now in danger, and the Persian region is about to become a battlefield. These are the things that need to be dealt with immediately!
There is no way, the British system is like this. Without the authorization of Congress, it is not the cabinet that can decide if it wants to mobilize the power of the whole country for war.
It would have been possible to vote directly in Congress, but unfortunately, the first response of politicians in trouble was to seek political benefits.
During the period when the British Empire was strong, this was not a problem, and it was impossible to keep up with the crisis system.
The British are arrogant in this era. They don't think they are gone, even if many people don't realize it, the most critical moment has come.
Paris
After receiving the news of the Bulgarian air raid on Sicily, the French were relieved. Although the two sides have not declared war, they have started fighting. Are they afraid that they will stop?
Bulgaria and the British are on the bar. Even if the Eastern European Union does not participate in the war, the Germans must deploy heavy troops on the southeast front.
Otherwise, the Austro-Hungarian Empire or West Russia will give them a moment behind, and the fun will be great.
President Albert Le Brun has already begun to celebrate, the unfavorable strategic situation in France is about to be reversed, and the alliance to safeguard France has become inevitable.

Sofia
Looking at the battle report sent from the front line, Ferdinand smiled with satisfaction, although it was only a preliminary estimate, he also knew that the overall situation was set.
The air force is not so easy to raise. Except for the easiest replacement of aircraft, the remaining pilots and crew members all need professional training.
It was not easy for the British to deploy more than 40,000 air forces on Sicily.
Unfortunately, an air force of this size is fine for any country in the world, with the exception of Bulgaria.
Ferdinand originally sent the aircraft formula to the company. Now Bulgaria has a large number of pilots and crew members. These people can use it only after simple system training.
During the war years, both pilots and airplanes were actually consumables, and it didn't matter if they were of poor quality.
If we blindly pursue quality, World War II would be impossible to fight. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union had a sufficient number of pilots. In the end, they used defective products to kill the Germans.
Ferdinand learned his lesson and increased quantity reserves while pursuing quality.
The model pursued by Bulgaria is that the development of the air force must pursue quality. Army pilots and aircrews only need to be available in quantity.
Anyway, they are all part-timers. As long as the pilots are able to fly the aircraft normally, the technicians are all part-time by company soldiers who can perform simple maintenance.
There are not many recreational activities in this era, so I can learn one more technique, and it is easier to transfer jobs after the war.
As a Bulgarian army soldier, as long as he stays in the army for five or six years, the car and the plane have changed.
The demobilized soldiers have almost monopolized the technical positions in Bulgaria's national aviation industry, and they are all based on their strength, saving a large amount of training funds for the company.
If nothing else, when the second round of air combat is over, the main British air force in Sicily will be almost finished, and the third round will be unlucky for air defense firepower. Going further back, you can only be passively beaten.
Maybe from tomorrow, the British will lose the sky. After the air dominance is over, will the Mediterranean fleet dare to dock?
No matter how strong the air defense firepower of the battleship is, it is all clouds in the face of four-digit enemy aircraft.
Even without diving bombing, the port can be destroyed at an altitude of 1,000 meters. As for the Mediterranean fleet, isn’t there a Bulgarian navy?
There is pressure to deal with the main force of the Royal Navy, dealing with a Mediterranean fleet, what is this problem?
Without the air cover provided by the Sicily Air Force, the Mediterranean Fleet has only two aircraft carriers, and the total is less than a hundred aircraft. What is the use?
Not to mention the main decisive battle with the Bulgarian navy. It is difficult for them to break out of the Mediterranean. The French have now blocked the Tunis Strait and it is obviously impossible to let them go.
Without the Mediterranean fleet, the Mediterranean route would be safe. The African continent + the world islands are connected together, which is of extraordinary strategic significance.
In history, the Germans just wanted to do it, but failed to do it. Finally, the resources were exhausted and the game was over.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Little Ferdinand asked caringly
"Oh, nothing, just a momentary loss!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Now the top Bulgarians are all together, waiting for the report, which is related to whether Bulgaria should continue to implement the next strategic plan.
Only if the threat of the Mediterranean fleet is removed, Bulgaria can confidently attack cities and land, such as Egypt, South Africa, Sudan, and Persia.
He was even more courageous to attack Australia, New Zealand and other regions.
But to do this, it seems that there are still some difficulties. Japan in the Far East is a trouble. The objects that may the spoils are the most heinous enemies.
Little Ferdinand comforted: "Father, you don't have to worry. The situation on the battlefield is very beneficial to us. Our fighters are three times the enemy's. We have the advantage in terms of aircraft performance and air force training.
As long as the war needs, we can produce 8,000 fighters every month, and there is a reserve of up to 300,000 pilots, which can easily supplement the consumption on the battlefield! "
Ferdinand smiled slightly and had to say that Bulgaria was fully prepared this time, and now there is nothing short of it.
In the history of World War II, the United States lost more than 70,000 pilots, and there was a shortage of aircraft. In the end, the standard charge could only be lowered, and there were even cases of training on the battlefield for two to three months.
In this regard, the British are even more ruthless. In the most crisis, the pilot training time was only two weeks before being sent to the battlefield.
Ferdinand shook his head and said,
I’m not worried about the air battle in Sicily. This is just a small war. Even if an accident happens, it is within our tolerance. Even if it’s a quantity stack, the final victory still belongs we!
What is troublesome is the post-war international situation. The British have fallen, and we have taken over their hegemony. What kind of international order must be constructed to best serve our interests! "
Without waiting for everyone to think about this issue, the battle report from the front line came back ~EbookFREE.me~ Thanks to the invention of radio, you can know the result of the battle in advance without waiting for the plane to return.
There is no doubt that this time is much smoother than last time. The British Air Force in Sicily lost a quarter of its fighters in the last round of air strikes.
Now that the balance of power is severely imbalanced, the British are in bad luck.
In the second air battle, Bulgaria crashed 113 fighters, while the British Air Force crashed at least 136, and the damage ratio was at least 1:1.2.
And this is still a conservative estimate. The number of British fighters bombed on the ground is not within the statistical range.
You must know that if you are injured and land in a battle, you will stop wherever you are, and there will be no time to move to a safe area. This part of the loss cannot be counted at all.
In this regard, the Bulgarian fighters do not have this advantage. Once they are seriously injured, there is no need to run, and they simply cannot fly back.
Usually the pilots can only parachute. As for where the plane lands, no matter where it is, it is the territory of the British anyway, so you don't have to worry about them.
When you encounter a hot-headed pilot, you aim at a target and hit it directly. It's a pity that there are no skyscrapers in Sicily in this era, and it can't create the visual effects of 911.
The results of the second round came out, and the fighters of the third round began to take off. There is no doubt that at this time the British air defense capability has dropped to its lowest point.
Everyone is not worried about whether they will be able to win. Judging from the combat situation just now, the British fighters have limited performance and are not good in continuous combat performance.
There have been two rounds of wars in a row, and many fighters have to undergo overhaul. Everyone has a preliminary estimate of how many enemy aircraft can take off at this time.
After the next two rounds of bombing, you can prepare for landing operations. In this war, Bulgaria has won half of it!
