Romanian Eagle

For Turkey's attitude, Eder can put aside for now. However, a secret telegram from Germany suddenly sent him back to Northern Europe.

In fact, this telegram is very simple. After Germany warned Norway and Sweden, Britain and France did not give up, and were secretly preparing a plan to seize Norway.

As the head of Germany, Hitler was very wary of the actions of Britain and France, hoping to get Romania's support to preemptively take Norway first.

The biggest concern in capturing Norway is the inferiority of the navy, so I hope Romania can make some moves at sea to distract the attention of Britain and France. Of course, considering the distance between the two, the relationship is not big, so Germany hopes to get the support of Romania's HF201 fighter.

That's right, this fighter with a long range is not small for Germany, and its performance has been fully displayed in front of Germany in previous battles.

If you want to strike first against Norway, the air force is particularly important when the navy does not have an advantage. The large-range fighters currently owned by Germany are currently only the Bf110 twin-engine fighter. However, the number of this fighter is relatively small, and its performance in combat with British and French fighters is not convincing.

Therefore, the Romanian HF201 fighter entered the Germans' field of vision. The Germans wanted Romania to provide a wing of Zeros to join the war on Norway.

Faced with such a request from Germany, Eder certainly couldn't agree to it all at once. This was a fighter wing. He called the Minister of the Air Force, Admiral Ankerdra, to discuss the matter.

Facing the king's summons, His Excellency the Admiral had already received the news. In fact, according to his heart, he is not willing to accept Germany's request at all. At present, HF201 is really easy to use. The high and low-altitude partner formed by RF20 fighter jets makes the Air Force like a god.

Even the best Spitfire fighter at present, it still can't get a good deal in the face of the combination of these two fighters. For this reason, the British Air Force in the Middle East has the most say.

What's more, the HF201's ultra-long range is more suitable for escort missions, and coupled with the needs of the Navy, the current HF201 fighter has become the most urgent fighter in the current military.

Although Admiral Ankerdra was unwilling to assign a wing for the Germans to use, of course, as a minister, he would not only proceed from a military point of view. In fact, he also knew that sending a wing this time was inevitable.

The reason is simple, Romania also needs to secure iron ore from northern Europe.

Yes, at this time and space, iron ore from northern Europe is also very important to Romania.

Its high-quality iron ore is suitable for smelting special steel, of course Romania will not ignore it, so it is inevitable to buy high-quality iron ore from northern Europe.

At present, Northern Europe exports 11 million tons of iron ore to Germany every year, and 7 million tons to Romania. As long as Britain and France land in Norway, high-quality iron ore from Norway and northern Sweden will become impossible.

Faced with the interests of Romania, this must be considered.

Therefore, the Admiral said after thinking about it. "Your Majesty, the 8th Wing currently has two squadrons of HF201 fighter jets resting, and the 5th Wing deployed in Thessanica can also be assigned a squadron, and another squadron can be assigned to the Aegean Islands. . Coupled with the transfer of two new training brigades from China, it is enough to be satisfied with the establishment of a wing."

Hearing Anchorage's answer, Edel nodded in satisfaction. However, after seeing His Excellency the General who hesitated to speak, he knew in his heart what he was thinking. Isn't it just that he felt distressed about the HF201 who was assigned to a unit, so he persuaded him with good words.

"I know what you're thinking, and I will give priority to the newly manufactured fighter jets to the Air Force."

Edel's words did not reassure Anchor, and he asked, seeing His Excellency the Admiral. "Thank you for your concern, but for the current air force, the demand for bombers is higher than that of fighter jets. Can the government give the bombers a slight inclination in terms of resources, especially in the production of the RU80 four-engine bomber, which is currently in Libya. Wolf's factory, which can only produce 18 per month, is not fast enough."

Edel was surprised by Anchorella's words. He didn't expect that what his Air Force Minister wanted most was not an eye-catching fighter jet, but a four-engine bomber that had yet to show its power.

In fact, as Minister of the Air Force, Anchorage is not satisfied with the fact that the Air Force has gradually become a tactical air force. Think about it, the current task of the Air Force is basically to seize air supremacy and cooperate with the tasks of the Navy and the Army. The Air Force is basically a supporting role. There is not a single mission that is entirely at the disposal of the Air Force.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Romania's current combat goals, but Ankedra, the head of the Air Force, is of course not comfortable with the status quo. He also wants others to see that the Air Force has a greater contribution to the war.

Then there is nothing more suitable for his requirements than a four-engine bomber. Think about the large range of two or three thousand kilometers. It is completely possible to carry out strategic bombing on the enemy's safe rear, strike the other side's industrial production, transportation hubs, and let the enemy fight against Romania. Can't perform to the level it should have. What a beautiful picture, just thinking about it is exciting.

That's why he was dissatisfied with the fact that only one wing of strategic bombers was produced a year. And now, taking advantage of such an opportunity, Anchorage certainly wants to fight for it.

Facing Ankerdra's request, Edel couldn't help but smile. Of course, he knew the thoughts of the head of the Air Force in front of him, and wanted to show the greater capabilities of the Air Force in order to gain enough attention.

For this, Edel would not object to this, and he also recognized the Air Force's demand for strategic bombers at this time.

At present, Romania is very satisfied with the situation on all fronts. Although it is not the main force of Britain and France, it is good to be able to complete the established goals. So at this time, Edel began to pay attention to the construction of the strategic air force.

Although Romania has even won the first target of the Suez Canal in the Middle East, judging from the current performance of the Romanian army, he does not think that the British army under the command of Wavell can become the footstone of the Romanian chariot showing its prestige. Unless the British decided to abandon the British Isles and send local elite troops to support Egypt, the fall of the Suez Canal would be unavoidable.

The superior naval and air armies alone are enough for this admiral to drink a pot.

So, on March 11, the newly established Romanian Air Force 12 Wing, set off from the homeland and moved to the Baltic Sea, where they will work with their German counterparts to ensure the German air superiority over Norway.

Although Germany is preparing to invade Norway, the main target remains the same as the mainland of France, but how will they face France's carefully constructed Maginot Line?
