Vol 6 Chapter 27: Zhan Zhengyi

The battle started again. Compared with the evenly matched battle just now, as soon as the battle started, the British army fell into an absolute downwind. Even with the assistance of anti-aircraft artillery, it was powerless.
Looking at the battle in the sky, Adrian Caton de Viat knew it was over. The British Air Force had a numerical advantage in the first round of battles, and it has now been reversed.
Watching a fighter plane fall, Adrian's mood has turned into despair, and now their plane has dropped one plane, one less.
At this time, no matter how powerful the British Empire was, it could not be put into the Mediterranean, unless the Royal Navy dared to venture into the Mediterranean and the Bulgarian Navy decisive battle.
Even his army general knows that a decisive battle with the French-French army in the Mediterranean region is completely disastrous in military terms.
...
London
After receiving news from the Mediterranean, Mr. Churchill broke out, and delivered a speech in Parliament at the first time, condemning Bulgaria for not declaring war.
Well, his performance was full on politics, but militaryly, Adrian needed absolutely not his moral support.
Unfortunately, Sicily needs reinforcements, and Egypt and South Africa are now dangerous. Persia 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 the parliament, it is not the cabinet's responsibility to mobilize the power of the country to fight.
It would have been possible to vote directly in Congress, but unfortunately, the first reaction of politicians in the event was to obtain political interests.
In the period when the British Empire was strong, this was not a problem. In the face of crisis, this system could not keep up.
In this era, the British are arrogant. They don't think that they have fallen. Even now many people don't realize that the most critical moment has come.
Paris
After receiving the news of the Bulgarian air raid on Sicily, the French were assured that although the two sides had not declared war yet, they had already started fighting. Are they afraid 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 in the southeast.
Otherwise, the Austro-Hungarian Empire or West Russia would give them all behind, and the fun would be great.
President Albert Lebrun has already begun to celebrate, France's unfavorable strategic situation is about to reverse, and the alliance between France and France has become inevitable.
...
Sofia
Looking at the battle report sent by the front line, Ferdinand smiled satisfactorily. Although only a preliminary estimate, he also knew that the overall situation was set.
The Air Force is not so easy to raise. In addition to the easiest to supplement the aircraft, the remaining pilots and crew need professional training.
It is not easy for the British to deploy more than 40,000 air forces in Sicily.
Unfortunately, an air force of this size can be used by any country in the world, with the exception of Bulgaria.
Ferdinand originally formulated the aircraft to the company, and now a large number of pilots and crew members in Bulgaria are ready to use as long as they have simple system training.
In the war years, whether it was a pilot or an airplane, it was actually a consumable, and it didn't matter if the quality was poor.
If we were blindly pursuing quality, we would not be able to fight the Second World War, and neither the United States nor the Soviet Union had a sufficient number of pilots. In the end they used the defective products and also killed the Germans.
Ferdinand learned the lesson, and in the pursuit of quality, he also increased his quantity reserves.
The model pursued by Bulgaria is that the development of the Air Force must pursue quality. Army pilots and crew members need only have a quantity.
Anyway, they are all part-time, the pilot can fly the aircraft normally, and all the technicians are part-time soldiers, and simple maintenance can be done.
There were not many recreational activities in this era, and one more technique was learned, and it was easy to distribute jobs after changing jobs after the war.
As a Bulgarian Army soldier, as long as he stays in the army for five or six years, it is the car and the plane that have changed.
Now military servicemen have almost monopolized the technical positions of the Bulgarian national aviation industry, and they are all based on strength, saving a lot of training funds for enterprises.
If nothing else happens, the main force of the British Air Force in Sicily will be almost finished when the second round of air combat is over, and the third round of air defense should be unlucky. Further back, they could only be beaten passively.
Maybe tomorrow, the British will lose the sky. After the air dominance, will the Mediterranean fleet dare to land?
The battleship's anti-aircraft firepower is even more powerful. In the face of four-digit enemy aircraft, it is all clouds.
You don't even need a dive bomber, you can destroy the port at a height of 1,000 meters. As for the Mediterranean fleet, isn't there still the Bulgarian Navy?
There is pressure to deal with the main forces of the Royal Navy and a Mediterranean fleet, what is the problem?
Without the air cover provided by the Sicilian Air Force, the Mediterranean Fleet has only two aircraft carriers and less than a hundred aircrafts in total. What can it do?
Not to mention the main decisive battle with the Bulgarian navy. It is difficult for them to get out of the Mediterranean. The French have now blocked the Tunis Strait and it is obviously impossible to let them pass.
Without the Mediterranean Fleet, the Mediterranean route is safe, and the African continent + the world islands are linked together, and the strategic significance is extraordinary.
In history, the Germans just wanted to do it, but did not do it. In the end, they ran out of resources.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Ferdinand Little asked with concern.
"Oh, nothing, just lost sight!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Now Bulgaria's high-level are together, waiting for the battle report, which is related to whether Bulgaria will continue to implement the next strategic plan.
Only by removing the threat of the Mediterranean fleet can Bulgaria be assured of siege and siege, such as Egypt, South Africa, Sudan, and Persia.
Even be brave enough to attack areas such as Australia and New Zealand.
However, this step seems to be a bit difficult. Japan in the Far East is a trouble, and it may be the target of loot, which is the most abominable enemy.
Ferdinand Jr. comforted: "Father, you don't have to worry. The situation on the battlefield is good for us. Our fighters are three times that of the enemy. We have an advantage in both aircraft performance and air force training.
As long as the needs of the war, we can produce 8,000 fighters each month, as well as up to 300,000 pilot reserves, can easily supplement the battlefield consumption! "
Ferdinand smiled, and had to say that Bulgaria was fully prepared this time, and now there is nothing missing.
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 even appeared to be two or three months of training on the battlefield.
In this regard, the British were even more fierce. At the most critical time, pilot training time was only two weeks and they were sent to the battlefield.
Ferdinand shook his head and said, "I am not worried about the air battle in Sicily. This is only a small war. Even if an accident occurs, it is within our tolerance. Even if it is piled up in quantity, the final victory still belongs to we!
The trouble is the post-war international situation. The British have fallen. We have taken over their hegemonic status. What kind of international order should we build to best serve our interests! "
Without waiting for everyone to think about this issue, the battle reports on the front line came back.
Thanks to the invention of the radio, you can know the results in advance without waiting for the plane to return.
There is no doubt that this time is much smoother than the last time. The British Air Force in Sicily lost a quarter of its fighters in the last round of air strikes.
Now that the imbalance of power is serious, the British are out of luck.
During the second air battle, 113 fighters crashed in Bulgaria, while the British Air Force crashed at least 136, with a war damage ratio of at least 1: 1.2.
This is still a conservative estimate. The number of British warplanes that were blown up on the ground is not within the statistical scope.
You need to know that you were injured and landed in combat, that is, once you stop there, there is no time to move to a safe area, and the loss of this part cannot be counted at all.
In this respect, Bulgarian fighters do not have this advantage ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Once seriously injured, there is no need to even run, and they ca n’t fly back at all.
Usually pilots can only parachute. As far as the plane falls, no matter where it is, it is a British territory anyway, so don't worry about them.
When you have a brainstormed pilot, you aim at a target and hit it directly. It is a pity that Sicily had no skyscrapers in this era and could not produce the visual effects of 911.
The results of the second round came out, and the fighters of the third round also started to take off. There is no doubt that the British air defense capability had reached its lowest point at this time.
Everyone is not worried about whether they can win. Judging from the combat situation just now, the British fighters have limited performance and are not bad at continuous combat performance.
For two consecutive rounds of war, many fighters had to undergo overhauls. At this time, we have a preliminary estimate of how many enemy aircraft can take off.
After the next two rounds of bombing, you are ready to land and fight. This time, Bulgaria has already won half!
