Chapter 1209: Fury (Eighteenth)
The first attack of the strategic bomber force of the Luftwaffe, undoubtedly showed extremely strong attack power. Kazan, an important industrial city, was almost destroyed. The aircraft manufacturing plant, which was the key target of the Luftwaffe attack, was completely destroyed. This directly caused the aircraft production capacity of the Bundesliga Air Force to suffer a great blow.
When the Luftwaffe bomber group dropped bombs and left swaggeringly, only the Russians on the ground were left with heavy hearts to clean up the mess. They knew that the Luftwaffe bombing caused them huge losses. But what they didn't know was that this was just the beginning. Then, the strategic bomber troops of the Luftwaffe, which tasted the sweetness, would launch continuous attacks on large cities in Russia, destroy all the factories of these cities, and further attack the war potential of Bundesliga and Russia, so that they could not persevere in the subsequent war.
In modern wars, what they are fighting for is comprehensive national strength. Industrial strength is undoubtedly the most important part of comprehensive national strength. Once the industry is destroyed, it is impossible for Broad to persist in the war. Even if they still have tens of millions of troops, but there are no bullets, shells, or even guns. What do they use to resist the attack of the Germans? We can't really let the soldiers fight the Germans armed with bare hands! In that case, Broad to Broad to Russia will not last long in the war and will be completely defeated soon.
Even if the Americans do not sit idly by and watch Russia fail, they will continue to provide support to Russia. Unfortunately, the transportation capacity of the Siberian Railway cannot meet the consumption of tens of millions of Russian troops.
The Kremlin, Joseph's office. After deciding that the target of the Luftwaffe's bombing was not Moscow, Joseph left the air raid shelter. However, his face was still very ugly. Because he knew that since the Germans could launch bombing the hinterland of Bund and Russia, this meant that as long as the Germans were willing, they could bomb Moscow at any time, which was like a sword hanging above their heads and could fall at any time. This feeling made Joseph a little worried. He didn't want to be airstrike from the Germans one day when he was still sleeping. In that case, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious.
At 10:30 a.m., Shaposhnikov, along with General Astakov and General Zavoronkov entered Joseph's office.
"Comrade Joseph, the German air strikes are over," Shaboshnikov reported.
Joseph put down the documents in his hand and glanced at Shaposhnikov and others. This look made the three of them feel a biting cold. They could feel the anger suppressed in Joseph's heart. If it erupted, they would definitely suffer.
"How is the situation in Kazan?" Joseph asked in a cold tone.
"Comrade Joseph, Kazan was bombed by more than 1,000 heavy bombers from Germans, and most of the city was destroyed by the Germans. Our aircraft manufacturing plant in Kazan was also completely destroyed. All the Jacques-1 fighters that had just begun to assemble were destroyed!" General Astahof reported.
"Bastard!" Joseph couldn't help but curse. Although he had expected this to be the result, Qing Er still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after hearing such a huge loss.
Shaposhnikov and others were suddenly silent and said nothing.
"Is there any way to guard against the German bombing?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, we may be able to let the Americans support our radar. If there is a radar, we can discover the German aircraft fleet first and then be prepared." General Zavoronkov said.
"Radar? Will I connect the People's Committee of the Diplomatic Affairs and the Americans. Can I avoid being bombed by the Germans with radar?" Joseph continued.
"Comrade Joseph, this is probably very difficult. We have no way to intercept the German bomber group at present. The German bomber group is flying at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The fighters we are now equipped with, whether the American-supported P-40 fighters or our own i-16 fighters, cannot fly to such an altitude. Unless the Jacques-1 fighter can be put into service, they will not be able to intercept them. In addition, the Germans equipped these bombers with escort fighters. The performance of these fighters is very advanced. In the previous battles, we have lost more than 300 P-40 fighters. It can be seen that these P-40 fighters are simply vulnerable in front of the German escort fighters." Admiral Astarhof said.
Joseph's face couldn't help but look even more ugly. He had read the report and knew that the performance of the P-40 fighter was a little more advanced than the i-16 fighter of the Bundesliga Air Force. But even the P-40 fighter was invincible. Obviously, let alone the i-16 fighter. Even if he flew into the sky to fight, he would probably have to be killed by the Germans.
"When will our Jacques-1 fighter jet be put into service if it is reorganized?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph needs to re-produce the corresponding parts and other preparations, which is estimated to take more than half a year!" said Admiral Zaworonkov.
In order to speed up the production of aircraft, they specially placed the parts factory of the Jacques-1 fighter around the assembly plant. No one expected that this would facilitate the Luftwaffe Air Force and gave them a pot.
"Half a year? No, it's too long. Three months, I need to see our Jacques-1 fighter flying in the sky and fighting against the Germans in three months!" Joseph issued an unreasonable order.
General Astahov and General Zavoronkov knew that this task was very difficult to complete. However, in the face of Joseph's strength, they had no choice but to accept it.
"Comrade Joseph, the large-scale bombing of the Germans has begun, and I am worried that their bombing will continue. At that time, many of our factories will probably be bombed by their heavy bombers. This will be very unfavorable for our next war." Shaboshnikov said.
"Is there any way to deal with it?" Joseph asked.
"From the moment, we may have to continue to move the factory eastward. Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk, east of the Ural Mountains, will go. In this way, we may be able to escape the bombing of the Germans."
Although Joseph felt that it was very frustrating to escape like this, he had to accept this suggestion without any other way.
