Chapter 1220 Tracer going south
"Even if it is simply for the sake of the Ottoman Turkish Empire as an ally, the empire should send three air brigades of troops to assist in the battle." The Count thought for a while and added a few more.&1t;/p>
It's a scam, the things written by the Count are completely fictitious, at least they have nothing to do with the prince. To be honest, after Turkey joined the war, the German senior executives have provided Turkey with some airlines. Although the planes are quite old, it's okay to use them in the places where this giant has forgotten them, but these airlines are not assigned to the Count.&1t;/p>
And even if the air force is not enough now, does it have anything to do with the prince? Is it related to half a penny? It was originally not at all. The Bavarian Airlines team had to run the Eastern Front well. Even if the German Emperor needed to be transferred, it could only be resolved through negotiation through the German General Staff. After all, county officials were not as good as the current management. As long as the Eastern Front was unwilling to give it to the Eastern Front, the General Staff could not force the dispatch. After all, the Prince had the final say on the Eastern Front.&1t;/p>
In fact, not only this matter has nothing to do with the prince, but the establishment of the aviation power of the High Seas Fleet has nothing to do with the prince. After all, the High Seas Fleet is the emperor's fleet, and the emperor's fleet needs to pay for the emperor to build it himself... But the problem lies in the prince's meddling in other people's business and agreeing to provide some airlines. In this way, when Earl Spey asked the prince for an airline, the prince would not be able to refuse.&1t;/p>
It’s not that we can’t refuse, but that we can’t argue with face! The High Seas Fleet gave hundreds of planes, but Earl Spee is not at all right? What’s more, Su Xiong is so far from Europe, and the prince provides Su Xiong with supplies and some accessories for the Americans. Earl Spee should also express it no matter what. And, most importantly, in the future, when conquering Ukraine and the Caucasus, the prince needs the help of the Spee fleet!&1t;/p>
"How much do you want?" The prince's telegram is very simple. It is winter now, and the Bavarian Legion is preparing. The entire Russian frontline aircraft are estimated to be more than 3oo, while the Bavarian and Bohemian Legion's first-line aircraft are more than 13oo. In this case, it is also possible to provide some aviation help to the latter. On the one hand, it is to give the count a face. On the other hand, as an important squadron with more than 10 battleships, it is really unreasonable to have no independent air force.&1t;/p>
"I want Tracers, at least 3 squadrons! Two are deployed in Constantinople and one in Port Erely! One seaplane squadron is also needed to monitor the Black Sea Fleet." The so-called three brigades are just asking for a huge price. One brigade has three squadrons under its jurisdiction, and one squadron has 18 to 24 aircraft. If it is three brigades, it will be nearly 2oo aircraft, as well as nearly 5oos of ground crew and auxiliary personnel. This thing is not something that the prince cannot give it, but that deployment is a troublesome.&1t;/p>
So when I really want it, the Count just hopes that he has certain resistance to the British bombers (reconnaissance aircraft) that suddenly appear frequently. It is not easy to use a single fighter to deal with these big guys. The best ones currently use are Tracers modified with K-4 bombers. Of course, the current Tracers are not the first time they appear, and they are elite troops composed of elite units. Instead, they refer to special interceptor units.&1t;/p>
"Give him." The prince's reply was also very simple. He directly sent a telegram to Prince Leopold, who was in Romania. He asked him to first allocate four trainer squadrons to the Count. As for the situation behind, the plane and crew flew directly to Constantinople. The relevant equipment was maneuvered through railways and waterways. At this time, it was less than 10 days before the British officially launched the bombing!&1t;/p>
What later generations unexpectedly were that this time and the unexpected transfer was not discovered by the British. You must know that this was the transfer of the entire four squadrons of trainers, with a total of 8o dual K-4j and 1 fighters flying from Bulgaria to Turkey in batches!&1t;/p>
Even if these wings are spread nearly 20 meters and the length of more than ten meters can only be considered a gadget in the air, but the airport that provides support for these aircraft is a behemoth! Ordinary and hastily established field airports cannot provide enough support for these guests. You must know that according to the internal requirements of the Bavarian Air Force, an airport for two squadrons of trainers must have at least 4 airports for more than 80 meters, and a hangar that can accommodate 30 aircraft aircraft, as well as a bunker warehouse that can accommodate 10 tons of aircraft fuel and more than 80 tons of ammunition. As well as a certain level of mechanical maintenance. These things are not a small place to be piled together, and in order to clear the site, the surrounding vegetation must be cut down, and from the air, it can hardly be hidden. But why did the British ignore this?&1t;/p>
"It seems to be a little far from the port of Constantinople." Captain Harley, who had arrived in advance, was flying his plane to patrol the base and Constantinople. Looking at the port in the distance and the base far behind him, the captain couldn't help but shake his head.&1t;/p>
Naturally, it is impossible for the Count to let Turkey provide airports for the upcoming German Air Force squadron together. In fact, this is impossible, let alone Turkey now. You just let the United States in World War II, establish an airport without sufficient preparation and sufficient manpower and machinery, and it is not possible to complete in a few days. So the Count proposed the method to occupy the magpie's nest.&1t;/p>
Before the planes were yet to rise, when Zeppelin was still the well-deserved air overlord, as Germany's most important ally, considering some of the future connections between the two sides, the German government contributed funds outside Constantinople, and the Turkish government sent people and places to build a huge airship field for these huge airships. This airship field can accommodate up to 4 Zeppelin airships at the same time. You must know that these airships are giants with a length of about 170 meters! Since such a huge airship can be docked, the space in this airship site is naturally large enough. So the count thought about it, why don't you use it first?&1t;/p>
Then, the two squadrons of the Tracers, Night Scythe and Scimitar, first entered Turkey, took the airship base, codenamed Wolf Nest, as their foothold. This airship base is 80 kilometers away from Constantinople! It is precisely because of this distance that they avoided the British's aviation reconnaissance. At the beginning, the British actually came here to visit. After it was discovered that this was an old airship base, they did not care. What they didn't expect was that the Germans deployed the first two squadrons of Tracers here before the air strike was about to begin!&1t;/p>
