596 Fighter Manufacturing Speed
Drop drop!
The sound of a radio transmission sounded nearby. Ye Qingshan sat beside him with an expressionless face, waiting patiently.
Not long after, a telegram from Ning Yongchen came.
Xiao Wusheng translated it himself and then came to Ye Qingshan.
"Commander, Director Ning's message."
Ye Qingshan reached out and took the telegram, which covered half a page of paper with dense writing.
"Commander, three days ago, the German army launched a large-scale air offensive over the English Channel.
This time, the German army deployed more than 2,300 fighter planes in one day.
This is far exceeding the record of the largest deployment of 1,300 fighter jets in one day set two months ago.
It was obvious that the Germans had been planning for this day for a long time.
The British Air Force, unaware of the situation, suffered a heavy loss that day.
More than 300 fighter planes were shot down, seven ground anti-aircraft artillery positions were destroyed, and the air defense line was completely defeated.
German bombers bombed all the way to their capital, the foggy city.
A large number of factories, aircraft manufacturing plants, arsenals and other important targets in Britain were destroyed.
It was also after this day that the US top brass immediately decided to send an additional 300 pilots to the UK and provide emergency assistance of 500 fighter jets.
But the German army continued to launch fierce attacks like this for the next two days.
Even the number of fighter jets dispatched every day is increasing.
The British were stunned.
Now, the British army has basically lost air superiority over the English Channel.
The German Air Force's attacks are gradually expanding to target the British naval fleet.
Yesterday, the Americans decided to send troops to the British mainland.
They were worried that after the German Air Force gained air superiority, they would send the army to land on the British mainland. "
Ye Qingshan quickly read Ning Yongchen's telegram and was shocked by the drastic changes on the battlefield in Europe.
"Cao, something's not right.
This German Air Force is pretty scary.
The British Air Force held out over the English Channel for more than three months and did not lose.
As a result, they were defeated by the German Air Force in these three days?
The Germans dispatched 2,300 fighter planes in one day?
No, how many fighter planes do the Germans have now?
I remember that before the Germans started the war, all their fighter planes added up were less than three thousand.
Previously, sending out about a thousand aircraft a day was already the limit.
Wow, the Germans really hid it well.
Hiding for so long, just to give the British a hard time?"
Ye Qingshan had a wonderful expression on his face at this moment.
To be honest, Ye Qingshan had not expected such a sudden change in the English Channel air battle.
Just over a month ago, Ye Qingshan watched the German army struggle to gain an overwhelming advantage in the air battle over the English Channel.
Ye Qingshan was still cursing, saying that the Germans had wasted the new steelmaking technology they got from him.
The scale of the attack hasn't increased much. If this continues, the Germans will lose this air battle.
But now, Ye Qingshan wants to take back his words.
The Germans are planning a big move. It took them more than three months to come up with something big.
Being able to dispatch more than 2,000 fighter planes in one day shows that the number of fighter planes the Germans had at that time was definitely much more than in history.
Ye Qingshan naturally knew the reason behind this.
As for why, the German Air Force did not do this a few months ago.
They had to wait until October before they took such heavy measures.
If such a high-intensity air battle had been launched earlier, perhaps the British would have been defeated long ago and their losses in the previous three months could have been avoided.
Ye Qingshan estimated that even if it was a German fighter aircraft manufacturer, it would take time.
They used the extra steel they had access to, and the more skilled workers that became available, to work overtime to rush the production.
Increase their fighter production.
In other words, the German army was able to dispatch more than two thousand fighter planes in one day.
These are all the fighter jets they have accumulated in the past three months.
At the same time, it took three months to paralyze the British army, making them think that their air force had run out of steam.
Then, come the ruthless move.
I have to say that the effect is surprisingly good.
Shooting down 300 British fighter planes in one day is too shocking.
Ye Qingshan remembered that it was after the entire English Channel air battle.
The British army lost no more than a thousand fighter planes and only a few hundred pilots.
The German aircraft losses were nearly twice as much as the British, and the loss of more than 6,000 pilots.
There is no way around it. In an air battle on someone else's home ground with anti-aircraft fire support on the ground, it is understandable that the loss of fighter planes is greater.
What's more, the pilot parachuted and could be rescued.
I will continue to fly into battle tomorrow.
But if the German pilots parachuted, they would either be shot dead by the British army or captured.
This was also the reason why the German army could not hold on and gave up the air battle.
No matter how wealthy the Germans are, they cannot withstand such a loss.
"Commander, Director Ning's second telegram."
At this time, Xiao Wusheng came over and handed over another telegram sent by Ning Yongchen.
This time, after reading it, Ye Qingshan burst into laughter.
Sure enough, everything was just as Ye Qingshan had just guessed.
Ning Yongchen's second telegram reported the information he had obtained from Thomas about the German domestic aircraft manufacturing factory.
The number of fighter jets manufactured in the past three months.
From July, the Germans could only produce 300 fighter planes per month.
By September, they will be able to produce more than 1,500 fighter jets.
This expansion speed is really terrifying.
No wonder the Germans still had so many fighter planes left after three months of air combat, with the terrifying number of two thousand fighter planes deployed a day.
“I remember looking at the data before.
Before the air war, the British manufactured 700 fighter planes every month.
By October, the number had increased to one thousand, while the Germans seemed to have only four or five hundred.
And now, the Germans have increased their manufacturing speed by more than three times.
Not to mention the British, even I didn’t expect this.”
After Ye Qingshan read the aircraft manufacturing data sent by Ning Yongchen, he understood everything.
“No wonder the Americans made the decisive decision to personally take action this time.
I guess he was also frightened by the German army.
If no action is taken, the British may have to kneel down to the Germans like the French.
At that time, the Americans will be in trouble."
After reading the telegram, Ye Qingshan tore up the two copies.
"Call Director Ning back and tell him I know the situation.
Let him continue to pay close attention to the situation in Europe.
You have to report to me every day.”
Ye Qingshan said to the young martial artist.
"Yes!"
Afterwards, Ye Qingshan walked out of the cabin and came to the deck of the "Tianshu", feeling the sea breeze and feeling very happy.
Drag the Americans into the quagmire of the European battlefield ahead of schedule.
I didn't expect this plan to be completed so quickly.
It was hard for Ye Qingshan to be in a bad mood.
