"Oh! Tell me what you think." Lieutenant General Charles slowed down and said.
"General, I'll be honest with you! First of all, if you want to bomb the German military's important areas, you have to go deep into their hinterland. However, the range of all our fighter jets is relatively short and cannot provide escort for the bomber formation. So these bombers basically have to go No reply.
If the 303 Squadron can cause a major blow to the Germans, it will be worthwhile. I am worried that they will be discovered and shot down by the Germans before they reach the bombing site. What's more important is that doing so will lose people's hearts. At this time, it is precisely the moment when all countries need to unite and unite as one!
This task is arduous and dangerous. Although what Major General Parker said sounds good, in fact, he is pushing the 303 Squadron to the front line as cannon fodder and using their attacks to attract the attention of the German army. This will chill the pilots who have defected to the UK. Those who Pilots preparing to head to England were deterred.
Now, it is time for the Allies to work together to fight against the powerful German attack. Sending the 303 Squadron so hastily will not be conducive to future cooperation! "
Lieutenant General Charles nodded: "In fact, General Hugh Dowding and I did not agree with the dispatch of the 303 Squadron at the beginning. He believed that the bombing of the 303 Squadron would not cause great harm to the German army, but Major General Pike He insists that there will be sacrifices in war. At this time, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, sending the 303 Squadron to bomb the German military strongholds can boost morale. Listening to what you say, not only does it fail to boost morale, but it is counterproductive and will lose people's hearts. In this matter, I will discuss it carefully with General Hugh Dowding and Major General Pike."
Before the two of them entered the restaurant, the smell of barbecue wafted over, making people salivate.
The female officer Fias Christelle, who had just given flowers to Zhou Zhihan, was sitting in a corner of the restaurant reading a newspaper. When she saw Zhou Zhihan and Lieutenant General Charles walking into the restaurant, she put down the newspaper and stood up with a smile, straightened her military uniform with her hands, and left. come over.
Lieutenant General Charles abandoned Zhou Zhihan without even saying hello, waved to General Hugh Dowding, and walked away quickly.
"Colonel Zhou!" Feas Christelle walked up to Zhou Zhihan with two plates in her hands. Her blue eyes were full of smiles, and her slightly upturned lips showed an appropriate charm, which could directly reach her. In the heart of the opposite sex, he and Zhou Zhihan walked side by side towards the dining table, "I heard that you are a top student at the Randolph Air Force Academy in the United States. You should be able to accept our Western eating habits."
"I am a glutton." Zhou Zhihan smiled, "I never let go of delicious food!"
Fias Christelle pursed her lips and smiled, her dimples were intoxicating: "Then do you think Chinese food is better, or British food?"
"Each has its own merits! British food pays attention to nutrition, while Chinese food has many varieties and is full of color, flavor and flavor."
Fias Christelle suddenly asked: "Where are the Chinese girls and British girls?" After speaking, she looked at the young and handsome Chinese colonel with a smile.
Zhou Zhihan "..."
Even in wartime, British people have to enjoy life.
After lunch, there is more than an hour of free time. Everyone can drink tea, drink coffee, read newspapers, chat, and take a nap.
Fias Christelle really liked listening to Zhou Zhihan talk about ancient Chinese Feng Shui and customs. After eating, she pulled him to sit in a corner of the cafe and listened to him talk about Chinese food and culture. She was fascinated and moved her hands. Lift your chin...
In the afternoon, the military meeting continued. General Hugh Dowding said: "Gentlemen here, the Royal Air Force now has a total of four main fighter air groups. A month ago, in Scotland, another one based on Norway and The 5th Fighter Group is dominated by Danish pilots.
In view of the fact that pilots from many countries are still coming to the UK to join the Allied Air Force, the Air Force Headquarters decided to organize another fighter group, called the "Allied Legion" fighter group.
The four main RAF fighter groups and the Fifth Air Force were fully staffed and ready to fly to Dunkirk.
The newly formed Allied Legion Fighter Group will allow the newly arrived pilots from various countries to have an adaptation process before they can enter the battle more efficiently.
At present, the chief officer of this Allied Legion fighter group has not yet been determined. Everyone here can recommend suitable candidates, or you can nominate yourself. The Air Force Headquarters will select the best person based on your recommendations to serve as the chief officer of the Allied Legion. "
As soon as General Hugh Dowding finished speaking, the generals at the meeting began to discuss in low voices, especially the generals from the exile governments of France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Sweden, etc., about the captain of the Allied Legion fighter group. There is a strong interest, and most of them are pilots.
So, six or seven generals or school officers recommended candidates they thought were suitable.
At this moment, a Royal Air Force second lieutenant came in and handed a document to General Hugh Dowding.
"Oh! God!" Admiral Hugh Dowding said with joy on his face after reading the document, and he kept saying it was incredible.
Seeing Hugh Dowding's expression, the generals knew that something good was going on.
"We have given birth to a flying ace! This is really exciting news!" General Hugh Dowding said, raising the document in his hand. "After the proof of Captain Adolph Mullen and several Royal Air Force pilots, and The Royal Navy and fishermen confirmed that Colonel Zhou Zhihan, chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, shot down a total of 6.5 German fighter planes in this morning's air battle, of which 5.5 were Messerschmitts and the other was a He111 bomber!"
Everyone looked at Zhou Zhihan. Some people felt incredible and their eyes were full of envy.
The meeting record officer, Fias Christelle, stopped the pen in her hand and looked at Zhou Zhihan, her beautiful big eyes shining brightly.
But some people's eyes are still full of doubts. The Chinese shot down 6.5 enemy planes in their first attack after coming to the UK, 5.5 of which were Messerschmitts. Is this a mistake?
Shoot down 5.5 Messerschmitts in one go?
How can this be?
This is absolutely impossible.
4.5 aircraft is already enough to hit the sky. If you shoot down 6.5 aircraft now, this is definitely a mistake.
Also, every pilot takes his own kill record very seriously. When the number of kills was determined to be 4.5 in the morning, the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force acquiesced.
There are also some officers from the government-in-exile who wonder whether this is a deliberate false propaganda by the British Air Force in order to boost their popularity and push the Air Force Chief Instructor from China to the peak of honor, in order to attract those countries occupied by the German army and exiled in Overseas pilots came to serve as British cannon fodder. Just like the 303 Squadron.
"This is really an exciting miracle!" Lieutenant General Charles waved his fists with excitement. "Everyone, I recommend Mr. Zhou Zhihan, the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, to be the chief officer of the Allied Corps."
