After hearing that the two front-line commanders not only agreed but also added footnotes, others quickly reacted and started to echo and praise. Hoffman was made dizzy by their extravagant words, his face turned red involuntarily, and he quickly said: "You still need to experiment to know the appropriate tilt angle and layout position, and you also need to re-research the tactics. It's not as simple as me just drawing it on the map."
"The most important thing is creativity. Once you have creativity, it is not difficult to take action." Camhuber patted his chest and assured, "Please rest assured, head of state, I will arrange engineers to design and verify tomorrow, no! Tonight, and we will ensure that it will be done within two weeks." Complete the modification task of an aircraft within 10 seconds, just this, this..."
The dignified Air Defense Director and Air Force Lieutenant General actually became coquettish: "...can you give me this design drawing?"
Hoffman looked at the sketch he had made casually, and then looked at Kamhuber's helpless expression, and suddenly felt dumbfounded. He felt that this design sketch was a bit funny no matter how he looked at it. I thought so, but the pen in my hand did not stop. I signed my name and handed it over. Kamhuber carefully took it and put it in his briefcase. Before he could sit down, his adjutant suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, muttering in his ears for a while.
Kamhuber's eyes changed again and again, and his face was a little ugly, but he decided to tell the truth: "The Air Defense Command reported: A large group of British aircraft have crossed France and headed straight for the Ruhr Industrial Area, and we are ready to respond. However, there is a group of about 4 bombers that may have lost their way, and their route is very strange. Judging from the route, they are heading towards Berlin. Considering that there are not many bombers, in order to avoid panic among the people, they are not going to sound the air defense siren and directly call in the night fighters. Go with the anti-aircraft artillery group to kill them, and of course Berlin's security will not be a problem."
Jeshunek said quickly: "For the sake of caution, would you like the head of state and everyone to take shelter in the air-raid basement for a while?"
"Not going!" Hoffman waved his hand and laughed, "There are only four aircraft, what threat can they pose? I don't have even this little confidence in the Air Force. If there is an air raid, the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force will be the first What do the German people think of us when we run into air-raid shelters? We go to the nearest command center and I want to see for a real time how you conduct operations. I can't be the commander-in-chief of the Air Force but don't understand anything about air force operations. That would be ridiculous."
Surrounded by the Guard Flag, everyone quickly rushed to Du Belize near Berlin. This is a very typical air defense combat headquarters. Both day and night air defense rely on command orders here. The main building has a construction area of 2,500 square meters per floor and a height of 12 meters. There is an annex building with a height of 9 meters next to it, and a 4-meter-deep underground floor below. These buildings are all constructed of high-grade reinforced concrete. The thickness of the cement layer reaches 1 meter, which can prevent direct hits from heavy aerial bombs. The amount of concrete used by a single command headquarters is as high as 33,000 cubic meters. Now Hoffman finally understood what Jeshunek meant when he said there were not enough resources: because this kind of command headquarters is not just one or two, but is located all over the main areas of Germany and the Western Front. So far, more than 20 of them have been built. , according to Kamhuber's plan to build a tighter air defense network, the density will continue to increase.
After receiving the news, Colonel William, the head of the command center, had already greeted him at the door with several main staff officers. Under his leadership, everyone went directly to the basement, where the core command hub was located. Walking into the hall, Hoffman promptly stopped Colonel William's idea of announcing the arrival of the head of state, and just watched with his eyes. Soon everyone was intimidated by the huge posture inside: in the middle of the hall were 6-7 rows of theater-like stepped seats, each distinguished by a different number. It was full of people, and everyone was wearing headphones. , and there is a phone in front. With Kamhuber's introduction, Hoffman learned that these are called guides, each responsible for contacting the radar station in charge, and then using light point projection to mark them on the map. The red light point represents the enemy, and the blue light point represents the enemy. It represents our own fighter. A huge aviation map was displayed on the wall in front of them, 12 meters long and 9 meters high. It was clearly labeled and everything was very clear. Hoffman took a closer look and found that the key points included cities, airports, radar stations, rivers, core factory areas, etc. Another area of the hall is the deployment area for command officers. The deployment and preparation of night fighter units is recorded on the blackboard and map, including important information such as base location and takeoff time.
Everyone was busy working. Although the phone kept ringing, it was in order. No one seemed to notice the arrival of Hoffman and his party. Seeing such a scene, Hoffman couldn't help but think of the working scene of the stock exchange. The two were so similar, of course, the latter would be more fanatical.
Hoffmann found that there was a woman next to the young soldiers in many seats, also wearing a military uniform. Kamhuber explained sheepishly: "Since the Führer personally ordered to expand the scope of women's participation in military activities and provide human resources for the empire, Later, we recruited volunteers from the Air Force Women's Auxiliary Corps, hoping that they would be qualified to take on the role of command instructors. We conducted a week of surprise training for them in the early stage, and what you see now are all the outstanding trainees in the training. First The batch passed the assessment and came to the command center for one-on-one practical learning. Facts have proved that the head of state's decision-making is very wise. The ladies got started quickly and gave full play to their delicate and patient skills. They can do better than men. If there are enough manpower , I plan to replace all the ushers with women's auxiliary members in a while."
Keitel and Speer held back their laughter, while Jeshunek and Garland turned a blind eye, which was not surprising.
"You did a great job, Kamhuber. The women of the empire are our precious wealth, and we must make full use of them after the general mobilization." Hoffman affirmed his approach, "Stalin has already put women into the war, that's all It's too late for us."
While they were talking, a female guide suddenly spotted Hoffman and others. She covered her mouth in surprise. After a moment, she realized what she was doing. She moved her legs together like a reflex, raised her right hand and saluted: "Hi~Hitler!"
"Helen..." A man next to him made a dissatisfied voice, "Don't make a fuss. Just salute when you meet an officer. There is no need to raise your hands. If everyone does this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Command Headquarters Order will..."
Before he could say the word "chaos", he turned his head involuntarily and caught a glimpse of Hoffman and others. He was frightened and jumped up like a spring, with his legs stretched straight and high. Gao raised his right arm and said, "Hi Hitler!" His voice was so loud that the entire command hall was shocked. It was good this time. Everyone noticed that the head of state was coming. They all stood up and saluted in a hurry. They shouted incessantly. Even the officers in the combat command area next to them were alerted and ran over in a hurry. Now the scene is really chaotic, Hov Man had no choice but to raise his right hand in response.
Kamhuber, who couldn't laugh or cry, glared at the young sergeant with dissatisfaction, raised his voice and said to the audience: "It is a great honor for the head of state to personally come to inspect the air defense command work. Now please keep quiet and return to your positions to continue working... "
The discipline and obedience spirit of the Germans are very outstanding. After Kamhuber gave the order, the entire command hall immediately returned to calm. Now everyone knew that the head of state was watching them and worked harder. Looking at the young and enthusiastic faces, Hoffman made up his mind to save these young people from defeat.
At this moment, in the night sky at an altitude of 5,500 meters, four Royal Air Force Lancaster heavy bombers were flying alone in a formation, each carrying a 3,000 kilogram aerial bomb in its belly. Their original goal was to bomb the Ruhr industrial area, but now it seems that they have obviously lost their way, because their route is heading straight towards the core of the Third Reich - the Berlin air defense network.
