Zhou Zhihan piloted the S703 Spitfire and landed at the military airport of the 11th Group next to the Royal Fighter Command.
Two flight crew members held ladders and diligently helped Zhou Zhihan open the cabin cover, take off his parachute, and kept giving him thumbs up.
Seeing Zhou Zhihan coming off the Spitfire, Major General Parker, who was in charge of the 11th Group, quickly walked to the plane to greet him personally. He has been waiting here for a long time.
Major General Parker's defense area includes southeastern England including London. This geographical location determines that the 11th Air Force Group will be the protagonist of the Dunkirk evacuation. Therefore, the Royal Air Force Headquarters studied and decided last night that the 11th Air Force Group will be the main air force for the Dunkirk evacuation. The main air force of the Dunkirk evacuation this morning, a batch of Spitfire fighter jets newly produced this month have successively entered various squadrons in the 11th Group defense area.
Major General Parker knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he valued Zhou Zhihan, who had several years of actual combat experience. Not long after, he received a call from Captain Adolf Mullen.
Looking at Major General Parker's expression, Zhou Zhihan knew that he already knew the results of today's battle.
"General, have you sent anyone to salvage the Messerschmitt Bf109E that I shot down in the sea?" Zhou Zhihan asked as soon as he got off the plane.
Rear Admiral Pike beamed with joy: "It is estimated that the Royal Maritime Search and Rescue Team is already salvaging the Messerschmitt by now."
Major General Parker said, hugging Zhou Zhihan's shoulders and walking towards a jeep. This posture made people look like they were a pair of old friends for many years: "The Messerschmitt you shot down is really important to us." It’s so precious, you’re just giving me timely help, Zhou!
Just last November, a Messerschmitt Bf109E3 belonging to the 76th Fighter Wing of the German Air Force got lost in the fog, flew to the wrong place, and made an emergency landing at Strasbourg's Oursy Airport and was captured by the French Air Force. After the French Air Force repaired it, they asked their chief test pilot to test it, but before they had time to study it, that night, the Messerschmitt was blown up by a special forces team secretly sent by Germany. We lost an opportunity to fully understand this fighter.
Even if the fighter jet you shot down is salvaged and can no longer fly, we can still roughly understand its aerodynamic layout, the structure of the propeller, the structure and range of the airborne firepower, and the internal structure of the fuselage through its internal and external structure. Learn from each other's strengths. The Messerschmitt you shot down is a great treasure to us. "
When they arrived at Bentley Abbey, the two got out of the car and walked side by side towards the headquarters on the second floor. Major General Pike suddenly said: "Oh! Colonel Zhou, there is something I want to tell you!"
After Major General Parker finished speaking, he stopped and looked at Zhou Zhihan.
Zhou Zhihan also stopped.
"According to reliable information obtained by the Royal Intelligence Department, D, Y, and Japan have secretly reached an alliance treaty agreement. It is estimated that this agreement will be signed and come into effect in the second half of this year. One of the articles is aimed at you, China. "
Although Zhou Zhihan had studied history in school before time travel, it was just a matter of course. In order to cope with the exam, after passing the exam, he even threw the book away and never reviewed it again, so that except for a few important topics Historical events can be remembered, but most of the rest is forgotten unless reminded.
Major General Pike continued: "This agreement is that the will of d and y will recognize and respect Japan's leadership in establishing a new order in Greater East Asia. If one of the three contracting countries is attacked by a country that is not currently involved in the European war or the Sino-Japanese conflict, At that time, all political, economic and military means should be used to support each other. In other words, if country D one day rules the entire European continent, they may strengthen military exchanges and assistance with Japan, and may even send troops to participate in the war. .”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhihan immediately stayed where he was.
He could still remember many major battles and important events that took place during the Anti-Japanese War, but he really couldn't remember this incident. After all, he was not a history expert, but Major General Pike's words were like giving him a hint.
Zhou Zhihan remembered that during World War II, there was a treaty between Japan and Country D, Italy. After the treaty was signed, they became Zhouxin Country.
Major General Pike continued to move forward as he spoke: "Colonel Zhou, I know that before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Country D had a lot of help to you, China. It helped you establish many National Divisions of Country D, and there were also flight instructors from Country D with you. Coached by China, so you Chinese pilots still have certain feelings for country D."
Major General Parker changed the topic: "But you should know that all the help country D gave you at that time was not based on friendship, but because you paid a very high price, so they sent people to provide weapons, just like your D series. As an armorer, all the weapons purchased are expensive.
If I remember correctly, after the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Country D immediately cut off its weapons assistance to you. All flight instructors in China were withdrawn, and all military advisers who helped you establish reorganized divisions were also withdrawn. This explains everything. . "
Zhou Zhihan was silent. What Major General Parker said was offensive, but he was blunt. Although before that, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Y people stabbed China in the back. For example, in order to please the Japanese, they closed the Burma Highway. .
However, Zhou Zhihan knew that in fact, there was only a relationship of interest between countries. There were no eternal friends or eternal enemies. For now, China and the United Kingdom were allies.
Major General Pike said earnestly: "Colonel Zhou, Germany today is no longer the Germany it was a few years ago. They are very ambitious. If they annex the entire Europe, life in Asia will be even more difficult."
Zhou Zhihan nodded.
"Actually, the so-called knight in the sky is just a lie!" Major General Pike continued to walk forward side by side with Zhou Zhihan. "Whoever believes this lie will not survive in the air for long. When people from D country When they blitzed Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, their air force was simply a demon, sweeping all the way. Especially the Condor Legion, there was no trace of chivalry in them at all, they only preyed on the weak. They drove the Messerschmitt Bf109E During the dive, the cannon bombardment gave the Allied pilots no chance to escape. The air, like the land, is a life-and-death battlefield. Whoever has mercy will die quickly."
Zhou Zhihan thought to himself, are you telling me this?
However, he immediately agreed with Major General Pike's words that being kind to the enemy is equivalent to being cruel to one's own people.
If country D really sweeps the entire European continent at this time, their support for Japan will make Japan, the devil, even more unscrupulous.
Could it be that I was indeed a little too kind to the German pilots?
"Just last month, the Royal Air Force lost dozens of fighter planes and nearly a hundred pilots died. Therefore, the so-called air knights are all lies. When they blitzed Poland, Belgium, and the Netherlands, in these countries, except Poland The Air Force still retains some strength... Oh... By the way," Major General Parker said with a smile, as if he remembered something, "Speaking of Poland, I remembered it. Later, I will introduce to you, Poland's 303 Squadron.”
"303 Squadron? Polish 303 Squadron?"
Zhou Zhihan felt that this name was very familiar.
303.
303 Squadron.
Poland!
