"Men!"
Adolf shouted angrily, and two tall and burly guards of the Bayerian Imperial Guards instantly walked in.
"Herman Wilhelm Goering, as the head of the empire and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I now announce the beginning of the development of weapons for the navy and army aviation. You have been removed from your posts as the commander of the air force and the minister of aviation because you deliberately disobeyed the supreme order and disrespected the head of state!”
Adolf announced sternly.
He had wanted to make a move for a long time, but he had never found a suitable reason. Now that Fatty Ge had taken the initiative to come to his door, he naturally could not be lenient!
"Adolf! You…you can't do this to me!"
Greem was dumbfounded. By the time he reacted, two strong guards had already dragged him out.
"Now, Herman, old comrade, you can stay in the Ministry of Finance! I'm taking over your Air Force now!”Adolf looked at Fatty Ge's unwilling expression and sneered.
"Order Air Force Chief of Staff Walter Weaver to be the new Air Force Commander!”
Adolf ordered.
After dragging away the crying Greem, Adolf's office was finally much quieter.
"Hey! Chancellor!"
From time to time, an officer in an air force general uniform hurried to the door and reported.
"Come in, General Weaver." Adolf called out and gestured for Weaver to sit down.
Adolf's anger had mostly subsided. In fact, he was not really angry. In fact, he was very happy.
At the very least, Greem, that pig head who had cheated the Empire countless times, would no longer cause the Empire to suffer losses.
Adolf certainly would not forget history. From Kokerk to Stalingrader to the Battle of Berlin, Goering's words had never been fulfilled, and he had suffered heavy losses when he attacked Britain.
"General Weaver, tell me what you think of the Air Force.”
Adolf ordered the guards to pour some black tea and handed one to Weaver.
Weaver was confused. He was sitting in his office an hour ago, and now he was the commander of the Imperial Air Force!
Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't react in time.
"I think Princeps is right.”
Weaver didn't understand what Adolf meant, so he instinctively agreed with Adolf's actions.
"No, no, no. I mean the Air Force. The Navy and the Army's aviation are no longer part of the Air Force.”Adolf shook his head.
" Oh, oh..." Weaver wiped the sweat from his forehead and regained his consciousness.
" I've read your book, Mein Kampf, and I agree with your view that the Soviet Union will be the Empire's greatest enemy in the future. Once war breaks out with the Soviet Union, in order to bombard the vast hinterland of the Soviet Union's rear and the Ural Mountains, the Empire must vigorously develop four-engine heavy long-range bomber to form a strategic air force.”
Weaver said," With all due respect, Mr. Chancellor, the Empire's current air force fighter jets, including the army and naval air force that you plan to build, are either only capable of aerial combat or support-type air-to-ground combat. We currently lack decent strategic bomber planes.”
Adolf nodded." Yes, I've been worrying about this recently."”
Although he had the system with him now, this made him feel very troublesome.
In history, the Third Reich did not have a real strategic bomber, which seemed to be the shortcoming of the air force. Even when the war was about to end in 1945, the strategic bomber was not actually equipped with the air force of the Reich.
Adolf felt that the reason might be due to the Empire's strategic tactics. The Empire's strategic system was a blitzkrieg war centered on armored forces. The aircraft's main function was to participate in covering the advance of the army and seize the air superiority, as well as providing close support to the army battlefield. Therefore, there was no room for strategic bombing tactics to be implemented.
However, as the reincarnation of a keyboard warrior, Adolf knew that in history, the strategic bombing of the M Nation completely drained the war potential of Germany and Japan, directly leading to the collapse of the Empire.
"But developing a new large bomber is not an easy task, Weaver.”
Adolf frowned and took out two documents from the drawer of his desk. These were the design plans of the JU87 Stuka dive bomber and the He111 bomber that he had previously handed over to the Air Force technical department.
"However, I still let the Air Force develop these two types of bomber first. Although they haven't reached the level of strategic bombing, they should be enough for us to get through the long blank period of war with the Soviet Union.”
Adolf said.
Weaver nodded." Yes, Chancellor. I have to admit that you are a genius. The prototype of the HE111 bomber has passed the inspection of the technical department. The Air Force should be able to receive the first batch of fighters soon.”
"But Princeps, regarding the JU-87 bomber, my opinion might differ from yours.”Weaver said nervously.
"Oh?" Adolf raised his eyebrows." Tell me."”
"The JU-87's bomb load is not enough for a large-scale bombing, and it's very slow. I'm worried that once it's used in actual combat, the enemy's fighter jets will become a huge threat.”
Weaver said.
"You are right, General, but I must point out some of your misunderstandings.”Adolf put down his teacup and said.
"First of all, the JU87 is not a strategic bomber. It is originally a tactical support aircraft. Secondly, unlike a horizontal bomber, its job was not to carry out deterrent bombing, but to dive bombing. The advantage of this was that its bombs could accurately hit local targets.”
" Think about it, General. If we want to bomb a building, then if we send out the entire bomber wing, we might encounter enemy fighter jets. Even if we destroy it, we can't guarantee that the horizontal bombing will destroy it, because there is no degree of accuracy in horizontal bombing.”
" Moreover, I plan to use them to attack tanks, bunkers, and even infantry on the ground. The precision of dive bombing completely surpasses that of horizontal bombing.”
Adolf knew that as a tactical aircraft, the Stuka had miraculous effects against tanks and small ground targets, especially the precision of dive bombing. It could completely meet the needs of the war in the future.
As for the HE111 medium bomber, although Adolf was not optimistic about it, at this stage, there was really no other bomber that could be used except for it.
"Now I have two choices. Should I continue to develop the medium bomber according to history and transform it later, or should I directly upgrade it to the heavy one?”Adolf was a little embarrassed, so he dismissed General Weaver, who was " enlightened ", and woke up the system himself, wanting to see if there were any plans that could be used in its database.
