Bulgarian Empire - v6 Chapter 34

　　 London

　　 Fierce quarrels are taking place within the British government. Now that the World War has progressed, the supply of supplies in the British Isles cannot be guaranteed.

　　The submarines active in the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean, and the aircraft flying over the British Isles, seriously threatened their transportation of materials.

　　 Home Secretary Compless took the lead: “Since May, the enemy’s fighter planes have become more and more rampant. On average, the number of enemy planes that appear above us every day has not fallen below 1,500.

　　 Just now the enemy carried out a large-scale raid on Berlin, causing tens of thousands of casualties, and millions of people were left homeless. Even the German government had to hide and work.

　　If this happens in London, what should we do? When will the Air Force guarantee the safety of our heads? “

　　All other problems can be dealt with first. The enemy plane above their heads is the real killer. Now they are working with their heads in their heads.

　　 Since the fall of the Strait of Gibraltar, the British Isles are no longer safe. Not only is the threat from the sky, but there are also rumors that Bulgaria is going to carry out landing operations.

　　 It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, anyway, they must all be prepared for it, otherwise if the enemy suddenly strikes over, wouldn’t it be fatal?

　　 The English Channel is too narrow to guarantee the safety of the British Empire. As long as they can’t get air supremacy, they will be in danger every day.

　　 “I’m sorry, sir, I can’t answer you this question. The Royal Air Force is limited in strength and cannot shoulder this important task!” Air Force Commander Hugh Caswall Dowding said indifferently

　　 He should have retired as early as 1938, but because of practical needs, his application for retirement was delayed indefinitely.

　　 It is precisely because of the long time spent in this position that General Dowding truly understands the strength of the British Air Force. If you want to rely on the strength of the Air Force to protect their safety in the sky, you might as well expect God’s blessing.

　　 Since the outbreak of the British Air War, the Royal Air Force has lost 2,648 fighters, 3,876 pilots, and more logistics personnel.

　　 This is only a local loss. The air force deployed overseas has suffered even more losses. The air force of Sicily and Egypt has been wiped out. The pilots of the Dominion of South Africa have refused to take off.

　　 As the saying goes, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. Now Hugh Caswell Dowding doesn’t care anymore. It’s the same for anyone. Now where are the Royal Air Force’s homes.

　　 “General Dao Ding, do you know what you are talking about? The people support you with money. At this time you tell me that you are not capable of defending the airspace of the British Empire. What do you eat?” Compless asked sharply.

　　 “Enough Mr. Compless, don’t be official here! How much military expenditure is allocated to our Air Force every year?

　　 Do you think there is still a war? Any plane can fly into the sky? “Hugh Caswell Dowding said with a sneer.

　　Are the British lack of planes?

　　 There is no shortage!

　　 Ordinary airplanes with lagging performance are everywhere. Although they are not as exciting as Bulgaria, but just arbitrarily put together seven or eight thousand airplanes, it is not a problem at all.

　　 But there are not so many aircraft that can go to the sky. As soon as the British air combat began, the Royal Air Force automatically retired half of its fighters.

　　 There is no way. These ordinary fighters are simply sending the enemy a record. This is a waste of the pilot’s life.

　　 Pilots are also a valuable resource, especially fighter pilots. In order to ensure the number of pilots, the British now have to repeatedly reduce pilot training time.

　　 For the sake of safety, the training base of the Royal Air Force is no longer in the British Isles, otherwise these rookie pilots will be on the street during the training.

　　 The fighter plane in Bulgaria now cruises over the British Isles every day. If you happen to encounter it, it will be meat buns and dogs.

“you……”

　　 Without waiting for Compless to finish speaking, Churchill stopped the quarrel between the two.

　　 “Enough, today is for you to discuss countermeasures, not to listen to your quarrels! What everyone needs now is to help each other and find ways to tide over the difficulties together.

　　 The enemy has already hit our door, and the English Channel can no longer protect our safety. Once the enemy lands, what shall we use to block them? “

　　 This is the most realistic problem. In the era of aircraft carriers, the Royal Navy now has no strength to overwhelm the world. With continuous bombing, the British no longer have the arrogance of the past.

　　 Now that they have lost their air superiority, if Bulgaria wants to land on the British Isles, theoretically, it is no longer a problem.

　　 The Royal Navy couldn’t hold the English Channel at all, and even before the evening, they would not dare to dock at all. Even at night, they had to be careful for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

　　 Since Bulgaria used the air force to attack the Italian navy in World War I, they have realized the importance of air defense.

　　 Unfortunately, the British did not expect the situation to be so bad. They lost their air superiority at the beginning of the war.

　　 Secretary of State Will Lauren said worriedly: “Your Excellency, the enemy’s attack is showing signs of intensification. Our intelligence personnel have discovered that Spain, France, North Africa and other regions are building airports.

　　If we don’t take action, the fighter planes that will appear over Great Britain in the future will not be as small as they are now, maybe three thousand or five thousand.

　　 With the strength of the Bulgarians, even 10,000 or 20,000 are just a number. I can’t imagine what would happen if so many enemy aircraft appeared overhead! “

　　 This terrible result, everyone’s creeps just think about it.

　　With Bulgaria’s industrial production capacity, it would not be a problem to manufacture 70-80,000 aircraft per year. It would not be surprising if the production capacity exceeded 100,000 aircraft with the addition of France, Austria-Hungary and other allies.

　　Look at the size of the Bulgarian air force again. In just a few months after the war broke out, the number of people swelled to 1.27 million, which is still growing.

　　The other member states of the Holy League are not idle, even the occupied Netherlands and Belgium have gathered hundreds of pilots.

　　 Not to mention a big country. Maybe no one has hundreds of thousands of potential pilots like Bulgaria, but you can still get a few thousands.

　　 Considering the huge population base of the Holy League, how many pilots can be trained, a few months later there will be tens of thousands of planes plundering the British Isles. It is not a myth to cover the enemy’s landing.

　　 The pan-international front will not work. Except for the two main forces of the United Kingdom and Germany, the other member states all make up the number. The industry is almost zero, and the military can only make soy sauce.

　　 “General Dowding, can the Air Force go out to meet the enemy?” Churchill frowned and asked

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are building up our strength. Every day we will add dozens of fighters. Now what the enemy hopes most is that we work hard with them to achieve the ambition to destroy the Royal Air Force!” Hugh Caswall Dowding thought. Want to say

　　 Churchill frowned and said, “But the enemy’s fighter planes are also increasing. Due to the enemy’s bombing, our local factories have been forced to move, and we can only produce sneakily. In terms of quantity, we can’t fight them!

　　 Now our local production capacity is negligible. Most of them are produced in North America and then shipped to China for assembly.

　　 However, the enemy’s submarines are not idle. The main force of the Bulgarian navy has moved out of the Mediterranean Sea, holding the Royal Navy in check.

　　We don’t even have enough warships to **** the transport fleet, and the survival rate of the material ships transported to the mainland on a single route is only 94.3%!

　　 In addition, we must also consider the political influence. There are not many neutral countries now. If they are allowed to fall to the Holy Alliance, this war will be even more difficult! “

　　 This figure of 94.3% sounds very good, but in fact it is very scary. This means that one trip to the UK will cost 5.7% of the capacity.

　　 One back and forth, the ship near the first floor sank in the ocean. At this rate of loss, the ship can quickly replenish it, but the crew is consuming the heritage of the British Empire.

　　 At this time, no one cares about the attitude of a neutral country. Except for the Holy Alliance, which is the Pan-International Front, it is too late for other countries to hide. At this time, sending supplies to the British is not to find death by themselves?

　　 Bulgarian submarines and French submarines are all in the Atlantic Ocean. Many times I see the ship directly as a torpedo, and I don’t even bother to look at the national flag.

　　At this time, the merchant ships of the Holy Alliance will not appear here. The remaining neutral countries in Europe dare not have any opinions.

　　For example, in the tragic Portugal, more than ten ocean-going merchant ships were sunk in just a few months. Didn’t you swallow the bitter fruit yourself?

　　 Even the protests couldn’t find anyone. They didn’t know who sank specifically. There are submarines from six or seven countries in this area. Who do they call to reason?

　　 In the end, they had no choice but to minimize maritime trade. Even if they had to go, it would be a detour to avoid accidental injury along the offshore industry.

　　 Not only Portugal, but also Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other countries. They are now considering whether to give up their neutral status and join the Holy League.

　　 Everyone is not a fool. The British will sink their ships. Neutral ships exist and they can also help transport supplies.

　　 However, it is different for the Holy League. These ships are swaying in the Atlantic Ocean. God knows if they are transporting supplies to the British?

　　 For the sake of safety, I just sink it first. Anyway, there are many contradictions between European countries, such as the relationship between Spain and Portugal.

　　 At this time, the Yin Portuguese are not surprised by a hand. Anyway, even if they have the evidence, there is no use. Now the Holy League is still forcing them to stand in line!

　　 For example, Switzerland can’t help it. The Holy League directly embargoed their supplies because they are still trading with the Germans.

　　As a neutral country, it does not trade with Germans. What kind of a neutral country?

　　 However, it is different from the standpoint of the Holy League. The Swiss and German trade has increased the Germans’ war potential. This is an indisputable fact.

　　 The Swiss are naturally not stupid. They have discovered this problem long ago. Now this time is blocked by the Holy League, if we continue to trade with the Germans, then the next trouble will be big.

　　For example, the food issue is that Switzerland has limited domestic food production and has to import part of it from the outside world. Industrial products also need to be exported and imported raw materials from outside.

　　 These are not what the Germans can provide. At this time, the Germans need assistance from the British, and they can’t meet their needs. Where can they be distributed?

　　 These problems are also clear to the British. If the situation on the battlefield continues to deteriorate, it will not be long before the major neutral countries in Europe will give up their neutral positions and join the Holy League.

　　 The strength of the enemy grows, and their life becomes even more difficult when one grows.

　　 Hugh Casvor Dowding said with a wry smile: “Your Excellency Prime Minister, everyone knows these questions, but the enemy is strong, what should we fight against?

　　From the beginning of the war to the present, the pilots of the Royal Air Force have almost changed a round, and the new pilots are still in training. You must be aware that not all pilots can fly fighters!

　　The enemy is now waiting for us to fight with them. If the air force strikes now, it will happen to be hit by their trick!

　　Don’t forget, the Royal Air Force is the biggest threat to the enemy landing on the British Isles. As long as our strength still exists, they will not dare to act recklessly! “

　　 Foreign Minister Attlee frowned and said: “General Dowding, from the current situation, it will not be long before the Swiss will join the Holy League. How long can the remaining Denmark, Norway, and Sweden last?

　　 Once these countries have joined the Holy League, then our life will be sad, and it will be even harder to win this war! “

　　 These countries fall to the Holy League. The first to be unlucky will not be the British, but the Germans in the center of Europe.

　　 As long as you look at the map, you know that the Germans are now very hard. With the background of all enemies, they can hold the line of defense very well.

　　 If Switzerland enters ~www.mtlnovel.com~, the Germans will have to lengthen the line again, and the military pressure will increase further.

　　 Don’t look at the Swiss elementary schools, and they don’t have much military strength, but this is probably the last straw to crush the Germans.

　　 This layer of window paper, everyone is very tacitly unbreakable. At this time, the British wanted to support the Germans.

　　 Since the implementation of the Bulgarian bombing strategy, the British have been struggling to cope with it, and they have to form a large number of army in their homeland.

　　 This consumes a lot of materials, and the assistance originally expected to be given to the Germans has to be greatly discounted. Coupled with the raid by the Holy League submarine, this situation is even more serious.

　　According to the current situation, there is no need for the Holy League to attack with all its strength. If it goes on, the Germans will collapse on their own within two or three years.

　　 As the saying goes, dead friends do not die poor, there are people in the UK who advocate abandoning the Germans, and at the same time use diplomatic means to provoke the internal conflicts of the Holy Alliance and disintegrate this anti-British group.

　　Of course, this kind of voice can’t become the mainstream, and it is less than the most pessimistic surrender.

　　 Regardless of how difficult it is to operate, the most important thing is that even if the alliance is disintegrated, they still cannot win the war.
