Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2172 Never Back Down
As mentioned earlier, Goering has now become an obstacle to the Luftwaffe.

In the later period of the British air battle, Goering intensified.

Through the British air battle, everyone realized that the air force will be the key force to change the state of future wars, and air dominance has been elevated to a more important position than sea dominance.

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

As Minister of the Luftwaffe, Goering felt particularly deeply about this.

At this time, other German generals, especially the German Navy, very much hoped to have an aircraft carrier, 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 the commander-in-chief of the German Navy Raeder complained to Mustache that the 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 Bomber Wing to the command of the German Navy.

Goering was very angry after hearing the news. He scolded Denitz, the submarine commander of the Navy: "You can figure out one thing. As long as I am still alive, or before I resign, your Marshal Raeder can never get a job." Naval aviation!"

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

As early as Goering had just served as Minister of the German Air Force, a dispute erupted within the German army over the route of the bomber. In the end, Air Force Chief of Staff Kesselring and Bomber Director Kurt Fokbier submitted the dispute to Goering for handling.

Kesselring asked Goering: You have two choices, do you want to produce 1000 four-engine bombers, or thousands of twin-engine bombers?

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

As a result, the two Ulashan bomber prototypes that were ready for testing became scrap iron. 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 person in southern Africa who clearly knows the future development direction of the Air Force.

Goering is not useless, he is good at getting money for the Air Force.

1933年1月至1939年8月期间，德国共花费640亿马克在军备上，其中有40%是用在空军，戈林功不可没。

Goering was also beloved by the Luftwaffe for a reason.

Southern Africa spends more money on air forces.

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 for decades, and has been continuously improving long-range strategic bombers, so there are now "sky fortresses" and "super sky fortresses".

Considering the long distance of Berlin, the "Cheetah" escorting the bomber used external fuel tanks, which effectively expanded the combat radius of the "Cheetah".

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

Rodri is now a super ace.

Alan was one fight away from becoming an ace.

As a wingman who can fly Rodriguez, Alan's skills are not bad. The reason why he hasn't become an ace yet is because the Germans don't have enough planes.

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

"Okay, okay, if you encounter a German plane later, I'll attract firepower for you." Rodri didn't care, he had already shot down 35 German planes, not bad for this one.

The number 35 ranks first among all Allied pilots who fought.

In the months-long air battle, many ace pilots emerged in the Allied Forces. Captain Allard of the 85th Squadron and Second Lieutenant Lacey of the 501st Squadron both had a record of 23 aircraft.

With a record of shooting down 17 planes, the Czech Franchesek ranked first among all foreign pilots who participated in the war except southern African pilots.

Southern African pilots do not participate in the ranking, and their strength is unique among all pilots.

The "Cheetah" was very fast, and it had already entered German airspace an hour later. Only then did the Luftwaffe react and send fighter planes to fight.

It has to be said that the learning ability of the Germans is indeed very strong.

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

Even before the British Air War broke out, BF109 was far from being the opponent of "Cheetah".

Just in the past few days, Germany has upgraded the BF109 again. The newly installed engine can burst out a maximum of 1800 horsepower. threaten.

Of course, there are still very few aircraft that can threaten the "Cheetah", and it is still not enough to look at the huge "Cheetah" fleet.

The first batch of "Cheetahs" to enter the German airspace consisted of 104 planes, which belonged to four air teams. The second air team where Rodri and Alan belonged to was 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 to attract firepower and create opportunities for Alan.

At this time, the voices in the earphones came and went, and the pilots reminded each other and cooperated closely, all thanks to the air command plane flying at an altitude of 15000 meters.

While British and German pilots were still relying on gestures to communicate with each other, the Southern African Air Forces were already talking wirelessly.

Wireless communication 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 wants to use wireless communication, it needs an air signal relay station, so the air command plane came into being.

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

And the most important thing is that the flying altitude of the air command plane is above 15000 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 plane, and even the escort fighter jets are not needed.

With the prompts and early warnings from the air command plane, each 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 at the battlefield at six o'clock. The 35th Squadron will intercept them. Don't give the enemy any chance—"

"There is a concealed field airfield at 12 o'clock, the 107th Squadron, quickly destroy this field airfield—"

"The bomber formation flies directly to Berlin, you don't need to worry about this side, the squadron without combat missions will continue to escort—"

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

"Congratulations to our Alan, the freshly released ace pilot, and congratulations to our 16th Squadron. We have achieved the record that all members are ace pilots. Now we can change our name to 'Ace Squadron'—" the squadron leader came from the headset Chen Jiaqing's voice is indeed worthy of congratulations.

The main reason why Alan is so urgent is that there are four pilots in the 16th Squadron, only he is not an ace pilot.

There are not many ace pilots in southern Africa.

However, there is only one squadron composed of aces so far, 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.

Sixteenth Air Force has shot down 16 German aircraft since Southern Africa entered the war.

On the way to Berlin, the German army dispatched countless fighters to stop it.

The air battle is very intense, and life and death are in an instant.

Unlike the previous British air battle, most of the pilots who parachuted in the English Channel and the British mainland were successfully rescued.

In Germany, parachuting escaped death, even if they were not killed by angry Germans, the German army probably would not give the captured pilots treatment that matched their status.

Rodri and Alan knew the danger of this operation before they set off.

Alan was more unlucky. Shortly after becoming an ace pilot, the fighter Alan was driving was injured and had to struggle to return.

With a heavy heart, Rodri secretly prayed for Alan, hoping that Alan could fly back successfully.

This road is also a long way.

"Rodery, pay attention to your left—"

Chen Jiaqing's reminder came from the headset.

Rodri quickly raised the nose and climbed, at this time another BF109 flew towards him.

Without hesitation, Rodri seized the fleeting opportunity while climbing, and shot a burst at the opposite BF109.

BF109 also fired, but missed Rodri's plane.

Rodri hit the left wing of BF109, and BF109 quickly raised thick smoke and fell downward.

This is Rodri's 37th record, he has just shot down a BF109.
"Pretty—" Chen Jiaqing's praise came from the earphones!
Rodri didn't have time to respond, he threw off the approaching BF109 on the left, and wounded another BF109 chasing the "Cheetah".

The 38th!
At this time, a BF109 that dived from above hit the tail of Rodri's plane, and the "Cheetah" that Rodri was driving 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 on the tail of the "Cheetah" fell off, its flight attitude was seriously affected, and it was falling rapidly downward.

"Rhodri, parachute immediately, parachute immediately—" Chen Jiaqing's roar made Rodri's ears ring.

"Brothers, I can't continue to fight, I wish you good luck, never retreat!" Rodri pressed the eject button after shouting long live.

bang——

The cockpit canopy popped open, followed by Rodri and the seat, and the parachute opened smoothly a second later. Rodri felt as if someone pulled him hard on the back. At this time, there were countless fighters in the sky. In the pursuit, a BF109 quickly flew past Rodri, and the air currents blew Rodri to this side, and there was a sudden danger.

Fortunately, the pilot of BF109 did not shoot Rodri.
