Imperial Overlord

: Two hundred and seventy-seven emotions

October is a dull season. After two full months of work, the German Navy is still playing with its own aircraft in the Baltic Sea, the German Army is still doing nothing on the Eastern Front, and the German Air Force is still invincible over England. . fastest update

Inside a French church, a man dressed as a priest leaned against a cross and prayed for the dozens of German pilots sitting below.

It's not an easy job, as German pilots die every day, and today's prayer is for the 1,000th pilot lost in the Battle of Britain.

Any bombing mission is not a one-sided crush. The kind of war with zero casualties seems to have only become popular after the Gulf War in 1990.

Today's war is accompanied by blood, and in the process, it has been soaked in blood, which can only be described by words such as tragic.

The German bombers inflicted incalculable destruction and disaster on the country when they attacked Britain, and they were also suffering, suffering staggering losses.

In the real World War II, the British bomber pilot loss ratio was the second highest of all participating forces, second only to the submarine force of the German Navy...

It can be seen from this that those great wars that are talked about by all of us today cannot actually be seen at close range.

The wolf pack tactics can be called classics. Those German U-boats hidden in the deep sea are like this moment, wandering in the enemy's fleet, stabbing the most deadly sword!

However, most of these vicious wolves were sunk under the turbulent sea of ​​the Arctic Ocean, and were never able to surface again.

Thousands of submarines were sent into the ocean, and in the end only one tenth of them were left to continue fighting. How many good men slept on the icy seabed?

The Allied bombing of Germany also looked exciting, directly destroying the terrifying industrial production capacity of the Third Reich and draining the blood of the German war.

It is a pity that when countless Lancaster bombers that took off in the evening flew back to the UK again, the fuselage was covered with dense bullet holes.

And most of those planes that took off together and flew into the sky over Germany together in formation were not able to fly back...

Is the war good? not good looking! If every detail of the entire war is magnified, it will be a boring and suffocating picture scroll of non-stop deaths.

Is the war good? nice! If you look at it vaguely, it is an epic for men, a carnival for men with blood and iron.

"Everything that passed quietly, this world has no end." On the cross in front of him, the priest was reciting almost fixed lines in a low but rhythmic tone.

It stands to reason that when the church holds funerals of different people, it is necessary to write a specific eulogy based on the life of the deceased. Unfortunately, because there are too many people killed in action, there are many every day, so we can only write a fixed sentence uniformly.

Those pilots who died in the skies of the UK, and also in foreign countries, many of them are less than 30 years old, so there is nothing worth writing about...

You can't say in a church, "His voice was brilliant. He once killed 22 enemy troops, shot down 37 enemy planes, and destroyed 52 buildings", right? Is this to pray for the dead to go to heaven, or to ask God to send him to hell?

Therefore, in the end, we can only use some beautiful words to piece together such an almighty eulogy: "Rest in peace, God's people, the most loyal soldier of the empire! Your soul will last."

The pilots below sat so peacefully, after all, most of them had attended more than one such funeral.

Most of the people who came to the funeral were officers from the deceased's army, as well as some good pilots. Many comrades-in-arms were temporarily added or deployed, and they may not have known the deceased.

An air raid on the UK is a dangerous thing. The novice pilots who are added often die in battle, and the veteran pilots occasionally have accidents, so everyone has no negative emotions like "sadness".

In its place was numbness, indifference. Everyone just watched the priest praying on the stage in silence, and the expression on his face was no different from that of a dead person.

Most of the time in the coffin is the pilot's luggage, used military uniforms or mugs and things like lunch boxes... If there is a wife's, maybe there is a wreath made by the wife.

Because he had to fly across the strait to fight over Britain, he was shot down and either became a prisoner or his body could not be found.

Some planes even crashed in the English Channel due to malfunctions or injuries. Most of the pilots will freeze to death in the icy waters, and only a few people may be saved.

This is brutal warfare, and this is the brutal way the Luftwaffe trains novice pilots.

Under the advocacy of Goering, one-tenth of the 30,000 newly recruited Air Force pilot apprentices have truly passed the test of war and become soldiers who can stand on their own.

The priest kept whispering there, making the atmosphere in the church tragic and sad: "Your birth and your existence are just to pass on the poem of hope, forever... Dedicate these tears to you, this is the motherland for you pray!"

At the door, a Luftwaffe officer tucked his big-brimmed hat into the church, and the tap of the leather boots echoed in the hall along with the priest's words.

He walked to the front row, nodded to the priest, and sat next to an officer in the first row who was sitting alone.

Ignoring the priest's prayer, the officer who had just entered put his hat on his knees, raised his body a little, and said to the officer, "Sir... the attack on the newly discovered radar station has not been evaluated well. "

"The artillery fire on the ground is too intense, and the British aren't sitting there waiting for us to drop bombs to kill them... What can I do?" The air force commander sitting there didn't move his eyes. He answered in a low voice.

Like Germany in another time and space, Britain also chose the same way of coping in this time and space.

When the British Air Force was suppressed, the British deployed a large number of ground artillery fire, the number has been large enough to make the Luftwaffe feel the pressure.

The artillery fire from the ground is more and more intense, more and more planned, which is not good news for the Luftwaffe, and can even be said to be a disaster.

More and more German planes were hit and fell by the ground artillery fire of the British army, which was definitely a blow to Germany, which was already struggling with materials.

In real time and space, Germany finally gave up the British air battle and cancelled the Sea Lion program because of too much consumption of air force planes and pilots.

Now, although Li Le has delayed the loss of the Luftwaffe and strengthened the supplement of blood transfusions to the Air Force, he cannot let the air battle continue to consume endlessly.

The fierce resistance of the British made the voice of the Luftwaffe about the cancellation of the meaningless British air battle once again clamoring.

"But the Führer has not canceled the bombing of Britain, so we can only continue to fight..." the late officer continued.

"This is the 1,000th pilot. We lost too many planes in Britain, do you understand?"

Because there are a lot of gunners and bombardiers on bombers, those 1,000 pilots don't represent 1,000 aircraft. But these losses were indeed very heavy, which made Goering feel a lot of pain after the statistics.

"We will thank you for the days of peace and happiness you have given me. We will pray for your soul forever and ever." The chaplain's voice didn't stop, like the background music of the conversation between the two officers.

"We destroyed the British's air defense system, destroyed their lines of communication, destroyed their factories... They lost more than us..." The officer who entered the door after the door still justified the action.

The officer who was not squinting was still expressionless, and he didn't even look at the officer beside him: "There are more than 600 aircraft of various types... Could it be that the Fuhrer doesn't count? If these aircraft are used on the Eastern Front, What great results will be achieved?"

"The Führer has led us to victory after victory... We shouldn't question him casually." The voice of the late-arriving officer could not be suppressed, and several officers sitting on the bench on the other side turned their heads and looked towards the speaker. the two here.

The pastor is very professional~www.wuxiaspot.com~ slightly closed his eyes and still gushing: "I walked through that dark lawn, but I will not be afraid, because your noble soul will be with me colleagues..."

"German soldiers are used where they are most needed! There is no room for waste... As the air force commander, I think we should present the losses to the Fuhrer and let him consider whether to continue the bombing of Britain. It's over." After saying this, the officer who had been sitting there for a long time closed his mouth and continued to listen to the priest's prayer with a blank expression.

Then the officer who entered the door sighed, stood up, put his hat on his head, adjusted his hands, put his legs together, stood at attention, and raised his arms.

Because it was in a church and there was a funeral, he turned and left without shouting that slogan. The officer sitting there still looked at the priest and said nothing.

After walking out of the church, the officer turned around to look at the cross carved directly above the church door, shook his head, and walked down the steps.

"Inside the Air Force...Although we have got more pilots and more advanced aircraft, the resistance to bombing the UK is getting higher and higher..." Sitting in his car, the officer leaned against the seat On the chair, he murmured. (To be continued.)
