Chapter 1810 make another knife
"His Royal Highness, this is the loss of the Bavarian Air Force on the Western Front in the past week." When sitting at the desk and the prince was about to start his day's work, General Halder sent a document to the prince.
"The data from last week seemed a bit bad." After looking at the documents sent, Ruprecht couldn't help but frowned.
"It's true that the British Air Force became cautious after being hit by the initial blow. Moreover, they transferred a large number of aircraft from the local area. It is said that more than 500 various aircraft were removed from the Navy alone, and the number continued to increase. We are also constantly verifying this situation in the Navy's long-range reconnaissance aircraft. From the current perspective, at least 8 air bases on the west coast of the UK could not find a twin-engine bomber. According to the supply of British pilots captured on the front line, they did serve in the Navy Air Force before, but now they have been thrown into the bottomless pit of the Western Front." General Halder said.
"This is really good news for us." After Ruprecht said that, he glanced at the loss of his own air force at the end of the document. His own aircraft group also dropped more than 200 aircraft during this period, and more than 300 pilots were lost. The first batch of Bavarian air force participating in the war lost at least one-third. The British and French air forces on the Western Front were indeed not easy to match.
"We will send another 300 fighter jets and 150 interceptors and 250 bombers. In addition, let me tell my father-in-law that if he is convenient, I hope the Austro-Hungarian Empire can also send about 500 aircraft to support the empire's air combat on the Western Front." Ruprecht thought for a while and said.
"Your Highness, our previous plan was to fully supplement the previous combat losses within a week. This is more than 200 aircraft. With the added number, our Western Front aircraft ownership will reach 1,300, and the cumulative investment will reach about 1,900. After all, we also need to provide some reserve aircraft. With the entry of the air force, there are at least 60,000 to 70,000 ground crew members. You know, the Western Front Imperial Aviation auxiliary personnel are simply unable to cope with the surge in the number of aircraft crews, ground crew members, mechanics, air defense forces, and even infrastructure and engineers. "General Halder thought for a while and said.
"This is a short time or later. We will eventually force Britain and France to surrender with Prussia. Now is the best place to invest. There is a saying that instead of adding icing on the cake, it is better to help in time." Ruprecht thought for a while and said. "In addition, the heavy artillery troops and some technical troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire should also be invested immediately. Now Britain and France are still fantasizing about taking advantage of the last opportunity. They are on the offensive, and we can make more blood at this time. If His Majesty the Austrian Emperor has any questions, I will make a request in person."
Ruprecht was very satisfied with the effect of the Bavarian Airlines entering the Western Front. It not only relieved the pressure on the Western Front and increased his reputation within the empire, but more importantly, he realized the limits of the British! The British military and industrial production capacity had reached its peak and began to enter a period of rapid recession. The military production capacity could no longer balance the overall combat effectiveness of the army, so that they had to demolish the east wall to repair the western wall, and forcibly recruiting naval aviation troops to enter the Western Front is a very obvious example.
In the prince's opinion, the British approach is very strategically unsuccessful. If the British still want to fight, they should use this period of winter to rest and accumulate strength for the decisive battle next year. After all, no one can bear the consumption. If they realize that they cannot win, then prepare for peace talks. If Britain and France make the demand for peace talks at this time, then Germany is really at a disadvantage. It is not that they will lose anything. Under the current circumstances, for Ruprecht, if they don't get enough things in a battle, they will lose!
If the crown prince comes to make a plan, he will definitely turn to the defensive line and prepare for peace talks at the same time. The navy and powerful naval aviation will become the biggest reliance for the British to ensure that they do not lose a little land. Not only can they ensure local security, but it is impossible for the Germans to fight the British colony! This is the so-called stop loss. But now? The British not only did not think about stop loss, but also wanted to fight? And such gamblers generally lose miserably...
Any gambling has to pay a price! The British gave up the safest method and decided to sell their blood. So, what is the price? The last fuse of the British Empire - the large fleet and the naval aviation force, were removed by the British themselves! If Ruprecht had a little concern about dealing with the British navy before, then this time, I really don’t know how to lose! And what will happen to Britain after the navy was severely damaged? It is probably unlikely to kill Britain completely, but it is still okay to tear off a piece of it from the British colony!
So, this time, Ruprecht gave Asquith a thumbs up and thought that if he could, he would give him a medal made of steel plates from the British warships when he met him after the war to commend him for his achievements as the "Royal Navy Burialist"! Now, Ruprecht hopes to further amplify the British's strategic mistakes! The most critical step is to continue to increase the pressure on the British Airways on the Western Front.
In fact, this air battle also suffered heavy losses for the Bavarian Airlines team. It has only been a few weeks since the Prussian Airlines team shared most of the pressure, the Bavarian Airlines team also lost more than 200 aircraft. There are many other maintenance in the hangar. According to the latest information, the Bavarian Airlines team had the lowest attendance rate on the day, and the number of aircraft available was less than 40% of the number of aircraft available!
Therefore, in order to relieve the Bavarian Airlines team, Ruprecht decided to let his father-in-law help share some pressure. Although the Austro-Hungarian Airlines team was the fourth in the warring state, they had not suffered too much damage. It was still no problem to let him send 500 planes to suppress the shock, at least in military terms.
Of course, it is undeniable that in addition to military significance, this has very important political significance. At least when Empress Mary ascended the throne, there would be less rebound from the German military. In fact, except for the German Emperor, most of the Junker nobles and officers' team members did not care about who the Austrian-Hungarian Army inherited. And if the Austrian-Hungarian Army could win the favor of the German army on the Western Front, then Ruprecht would not be afraid!
