"Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring, I authorize Imperial Air Force to seize the time and seize every opportunity from the beginning of the war to carry out strategic bombing of Buru. We will destroy all Buru's big cities, industrial bases, important transportation nodes and railway lines. Explode all! Let Buru lose the ability to manufacture weapons and equipment and develop industry! Let them no longer have the strength to fight against us in this war, so that we can completely destroy Buru before next winter at the latest!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring replied excitedly. Although, he knew that with the current strength of Imperial Air Force, especially the strength of Strategic Air Force, it was still very difficult to achieve the requirements of Oscar. However, from this command of Oscar, he can feel that Oscar attaches great importance to and supports Strategic Air Force. He firmly believes that as the strategic power of German Air Force grows stronger, they will soon have enough strength to complete the requirements of Oscar.
After Oscar's order was issued, German Air Force's strategic forces immediately started operating. One after another long-range fighter jets and heavy-duty Bomber arrived at the airports located at Belarus and Ukraine. Next, attacks on important cities in Buru will mainly take off from these airports. As German military further advances towards Buru, the departure airport of Strategic Air Force can also further advance towards the hinterland of Buru. That way, they can drop bombs farther away. After all, in order to prepare for Germany's bombing, Buru had already planned to move many important factories to the vicinity of the Ural Mountains, or even to West Siberian Plain.
However, what Bolshevik Russian government didn't know was that the locations of their factories had long been leaked and had been listed as a target by German Air Force. In the next strategic strike, German Air Force will gradually destroy all these important factories of Buru to further attack Buru's war potential.
German Air Force Command has specially established Strategic Strike Office, with the new Air Force Marshal Edward? Milch as Commander, specifically responsible for formulating plans for strategic strikes against Buru.
After Imperial Council ended, Albert Field Marshal Kesselring made a special trip to Strategic Strike Office to discuss the strategic attack plan against Buru with Marshal Edward? Milch.
"Marshal Milch, Your Majesty has already issued an order, and the strategic strike on Buru will begin in a week. This will be an excellent opportunity for Imperial Air Force to prove our capabilities. I hope that we can impress everyone in this strategic strike!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
German Air Force was founded the latest, and currently has no other record except for the air attack on Bolshevik Air Force at the beginning of the war. This makes the status of German Air Force controversial. In particular, building a huge strategic strike force requires a large amount of military spending. Some people in the army and navy have long been critical of this. Despite the support of the Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire, all those discussions were suppressed. But everyone at German Air Force is holding back their energy. They need to use their results to prove to everyone that they are not wasting money. They can also show great strength in war, allowing Germany to gain a greater advantage in the war, and even win the war in advance.
Marshal Edward? Milch nodded. "Your Excellency, one week of preparation time is enough. The only thing you need to worry about is probably being intercepted by Russians. Although Russian Air Force was severely damaged by us before, in the past few months, it has regained a lot of strength. Although, The performance of Russian Air Force's I-16 combat and I-15 fighter jets is still not good enough, but they obtained a batch of P-40 fighter jets from Americans. Although the performance of these fighters is still very bad, they will also pose a big threat to our Bomber. Moreover, the number of our escort fighters is still not enough."
The German Air Force long-range fighter is specially used to escort the heavy-duty long-range Bomber, numbered BF-110 fighter. However, unlike the twin-engine BF-110 fighter of Führer in another time and space, the BF-110 fighter of German Air Force in this time and space has a single engine and uses a powerful fighter aircraft with a power of 1,600 horsepower. In addition, a large amount of aviation aluminum is used on the fighter aircraft to reduce the weight of the fighter aircraft and ensure that it can carry a large amount of aviation fuel to further increase the range. At the same time, the speed of the fighter jet has also reached 720 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the BF-109 fighter jet. Climb rate and dive performance are also outstanding. Although in terms of combat effectiveness, it cannot be compared with the FW-190 fighter jet. But the combat performance is still very powerful. At least, from the current point of view, no country's fighter jets can compete with it, except Germany's own fighter jets. Because a large number of new materials are used, the cost of the BF-110 fighter is very high, even more expensive than the FW-190 fighter. But precisely because of this, the maximum range of the BF-110 fighter jet can reach 2,800 kilometers (carrying auxiliary fuel tanks). Of course, although it is not as good as the Zero fighter's abnormal 3,300 kilometers, it is already a little better than the P-51 fighter jet. For German Air Force, this range is barely enough. As long as they take off from the front-line airport, they can completely escort the H-11 Bomber and H-21 Bomber that take off from the rear airport.
With the advancement of technology, the range of Germany's long-range fighter jet will definitely be further improved. By then, it will almost be able to provide full escort for the heavy-duty Bomber.
Now German Air Force, there are only 600 BF-110 fighter jets in total. This is achieved by working overtime and squeezing out part of the productivity of FW-190 fighter jets.
"I will say hello to the aircraft manufacturer and ask them to further increase the production of BF-110 fighter jets. If we wait a few more months, we will not be short of long-range fighter jets. In addition, after the arrival of spring, the Army will launch a large-scale offensive. Tactical fighter jets will also Move out with all your strength to fight for air supremacy. By then, Russians's air force will definitely suffer further heavy losses. When we carry out strategic bombing, the threats we will encounter will be much smaller," said Albert Field Marshal Kesselring.
Marshal Edward? Milch nodded. Although the current escort force is somewhat insufficient, the heavy-duty Bomber not only has a solid body structure, but is also equipped with powerful self-defense firepower. Coupled with the protection of long-range fighter jets, it is barely enough.
