Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 89: Russian Air Force

In this sudden air battle, the Germans were very dissatisfied with the results achieved, so why not the Russians? They don't admit that there is a problem with the quality of their aircraft, although after an air battle, they need to be overhauled.

But this can't be a quality problem. It's all injured during the battle with the Luftwaffe, which requires major repairs.

Ever since Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich was relieved of the position of commander-in-chief of the Russian army by the Tsar and personally served as the highest commander-in-chief of the Russian army, the Russian army has experienced varying degrees of chaos, which has created opportunities for capitalists.

It cannot be said to be home, but the generals on the front lines of the Russian army are well aware of it, so everyone is helpless and helpless with domestic weapons.

The commander of the Russian Air Force, Lieutenant General Nikola Nikola Okas, was very helpless. The other weapons were good, but they were rougher and shorter in service life, but their air force was not good!

Aircrafts of this era often need to be repaired and spare parts often need to be replaced, but the service life of Russian military aircraft's spare parts is shorter.

I have to admire the flexible minds of these Russian capitalists. They have all begun to use disposable parts. They can continue to sell parts after they have sold out the aircraft, and they have integrated the ideas of sustainable development to the highest level!

Colonel Daniel Wellington, Director of the Logistics Department of the Russian Air Force, said: "General, this is our inspection report. It is estimated that it will take half a month to complete the maintenance work."

Lieutenant General Nikolai-Nikola Okas nodded. This was already in his expectation, and this time is really not long in the records of the Russian army.

"I see, Colonel Daniel did a good job." Lieutenant General Nicolas Nikola Ocas was sincerely complimenting him. Compared to his predecessor, he was indeed smart and capable.

Colonel Daniel smiled and said, "General, this is what I should do. But our spare parts are running out, and the logistics department hasn’t said anything yet. I’m worried..."

Lieutenant General Nicola-Nicolas Okas interrupted: "Well, we urge the country to bring the supplies you need as soon as possible, not..."

Before Lieutenant General Nicholas Nicola Okas had finished speaking, the air defense alarm suddenly sounded.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Guards, go and see what's going on outside?" Lieutenant General Nicola-Nikola Ocas said angrily

"Yes!" a soldier replied immediately

After speaking, he ran out in a hurry. As soon as he looked up at the sky, he was taken aback. The German plane was screaming. After a two-second pause, the guard reacted and ran back.

Excitedly said: "General, it's not good! Germany~German’s plane~~"

Without waiting for him to finish, Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikola Okas ran directly to the air-raid shelter. As a senior Russian general, he was very sorry.

After entering the air-raid shelter, Lieutenant General Nikola-Nicolas Okas calmed down and ordered: "Order the fighter jets to lift off to stop the Germans, and the air defense firepower will give me a severe blow. Let the Germans know about us. Awesome!"

At this time, the German bombs had fallen from the sky, and Russia also had a dozen planes lifted into the sky, bravely and fearlessly went to meet the Germans.

No way, in this era before the radar was born, air defense was all seen with the naked eye, and the enemy was almost there when the enemy was discovered.

The Russian Air Force, which has just experienced a major battle, has basically lost its combat effectiveness, and the Luftwaffe can continue to fight. The gap between the two sides is self-evident.

Coming and going in a hurry, this sudden air strike only lasted more than half an hour and ended, but the losses to the Russians were not small.

After the air raid, Lieutenant Nicholas Nikola Okas walked out of the air-raid shelter, his face was gloomy and terrifying, the airport was already a sea of ​​flames, and smoke billowed straight into the sky.

The Germans can easily succeed in a sneak attack, which is inseparable from the carelessness of the defenders. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Luftwaffe must also undergo major repairs after an air battle. Unexpectedly, it was attacked the next day. !

As the highest commander on the scene, Lieutenant General Nicola-Nicolas Okas could not escape this time, but he was not worried about his future. Anyway, he was in his current position, and there was no further progress. may!

What Nikolai-Nikolai Okas is worried about is the aftereffects of this air strike. Does it mean that the air supremacy of the Eastern Front will fall into the hands of the Germans?

This is also related to the fate of the Russian Empire. Once air supremacy is lost, can the Russian army, which is already at a disadvantage, be able to withstand it?

If they can't stop the Germans' attack, the consequences will be really unimaginable!

After a moment of contemplation, Lieutenant General Nikola-Nicolas Okas reacted. There was already someone on the scene to organize the fire fighting. He was only here to inspect and there was no need to continue to intervene.

After sighing, Nicolas Okas said to the adjutant next to him: "This inspection is over, I want to return to St. Petersburg and arrange a special plane!"

Although the adjutant is a little puzzled, something has just happened, shouldn't he be in command? How come back to St. Petersburg? But he still habitually replied: "Yes!"

As a senior general, the Russian military has a custom not to take domestically-produced planes. Their special planes are all imported goods, not only for them but also for high-level government officials.

It's not that they are fond of foreigners, and that domestically-made aircraft often need repairs. The biggest pitfall is that the quality of their spare parts is often not good enough, and there is a small chance of failure.

It's just that their failure is extraordinary. There is a certain probability that the plane will fall directly from the sky; or when it needs to be lifted to avoid the mountains, it may directly crash into...

It's not just Russian airplanes. In this era, the number of airplane accidents all over the world is high, but there are more bears.

...

"Your Majesty, this is our air force's plan for improving combat effectiveness." Lieutenant General Nicholas-Nicolas Ocas anxiously submitted a document to Nicholas II. He knew that he would become a capitalist after today. Our eyes are pierced.

However, he doesn't care either. There are not many capitalists involved in aircraft manufacturing in this era, and the strength is not very strong, so he can't help it.

It is the bureaucrats within the government that can really cause trouble. As those with vested interests, they will certainly not give up.

Nicholas II's face was changing from sunny to cloudy, and finally the clouds were overcast. It was obvious that he was angry and the storm was coming.

"Your plan to improve combat effectiveness is to use imported goods for all aircraft?" Nicholas II asked angrily

Lieutenant General Nicolas-Nicolas Okas said calmly: "Yes, Your Majesty! Our Air Force is a conclusion after comprehensive analysis of cost and aircraft performance!"

This is not indiscriminate. Now the price of Russian self-produced aircraft is really more expensive than imported aircraft, and the quality is completely incomparable.

He has calculated that if all the military expenditures of the Air Force are imported, more than one hundred more planes can be added. The greed of the Russian capitalists can be imagined.

No, their costs would have been higher. Public relations fees are much higher than the cost of aircraft production. A higher total price and a lower quality are completely normal.

Nicholas II suppressed his anger. It is now a time of war. It is normal for the military to want better weapons and equipment. Domestic capitalists are not up to date, and they have no choice but to choose outsourcing.

Of course, this has something to do with Nicholas II's dissatisfaction with the behavior of the capitalists. On the one hand, he was making money from the country while clamoring for democracy and freedom and wanted to seize power.

This is also related to the internal struggles of the previous Russian government. In the Russian ideological world, there have always been two opposing schools of thought, the Slavists and the Western schools. These two schools of thought have always influenced the development of Russian politics and the future of the country.

First of all, the Slavists believe that Russia has inherited the title of Roman emperor of the Byzantine Empire and the leadership of the Orthodox Church since Ivan III, which means that Russia has the right and obligation to rule the world and save the world.

Obviously, since Russia has inherited the heritage of the Byzantine Empire, it has the obligation and right to restore the territory and beliefs of the former Roman Empire.

Therefore, the Slavists believe that the homogeneity of Russian society, the nobility of the people's morality and the superstability of society brought about by it, is incomparable to the materialistic Western society.

Therefore, the Slavs believed that Peter the Great was a sinner of the Russian nation, and it was precisely because he had studied Western reforms that the homogeneity of Russian society was lost. Therefore, the Slavists believed that Peter the Great was a sinner of the Russian nation and criticized it.

The Westernists believe that Russia is far behind the developed Western European societies. Therefore, Russia must learn from the West in an all-round way, so as to gradually narrow the gap with Western European countries and then integrate into the developed Western European society.

Therefore, the Westernists believe that when Peter the Great is regarded as a hero and that Peter the Great has learned from the reforms of the West, Russia has greatly strengthened its national power, and thus can be defeated in one fell swoop in the Northern War. Sweden, known as the absolute hegemon of the Baltic Sea, The leap to become one of the most powerful countries in Europe is the result of Peter the Great learning from the West.

Therefore, from Peter the Great to the early days of Alexander I, Western thoughts have always been the mainstream ruling ideas of the Russian ruling group.

However, after the Anti-French War, changes have taken place. Because of the defeat of Napoleon, Russia's national self-confidence has risen unprecedentedly. Therefore, the Slavism replaced the Western faction and became the ruling ideology of the Russian ruling group.

With the defeat of the Crimean War, Russia changed again. Alexander II believed that Russia had fallen behind Europe, and reconsidered the moderate thinking among the Westernists. UU看书www. Uukanshu.com is regarded as the idea of ​​the Russian ruling group. Under this idea, he has led the political and economic reforms in Russia, making Russia a real European country.

However, his reforms were not thorough. The Slavs still dominated the ruling class. The Westerns still drifted away from the ruling class and gradually merged with the capitalists, laying the foundation for the February Revolution.

What's interesting is that the current constitutional monarchy in Bulgaria is set up by the exiled Westerners according to their ideal system.

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria has achieved unprecedented success. Now the momentum of the Russian Western faction is on the rise again, and it is on par with the Slavism.

Against this background, Nicholas II also began to face the Western thoughts squarely, but he was only willing to accept some moderate thoughts, without the intention of comprehensive reforms.

The proposal of Lieutenant General Nicola-Nicolas Okas made him feel it necessary to beat the increasingly rampant capitalists to let them know who is the master of this country.

Nicholas II said generously: "Well, your Air Force can decide on the issue of purchasing aircraft, and I will let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cooperate with you!"

Originally, he served as the commander-in-chief in order to buy the military spirit and strengthen the control over the army. Although the air force has the lowest say in the army, navy and air force, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. Nicholas II doesn't mind having one more supporter!

Lieutenant General Nicolas-Nicolas Okas said excitedly: "Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured, our Air Force will never disappoint you!"

Lieutenant General Nikola-Nicolas Okas did not expect that this trip to St. Petersburg would be so smooth. He was originally prepared to return without success under the intervention of the capitalists, but it was the Tsar that surprised him. His Majesty agreed to his proposal so simply and neatly.
