Chapter 1109
However, just when the coalition forces were laying low and hiding in the barracks, their opponents, the bears, were not slacking off at this time.
With Yarkov’s intelligence, the bears have concluded that the Germans will attack them after the spring.
Considering that the muddy roads caused by the melting of snow will continue for a while, as the temperature rises and the snow on the roads gradually melts, they don’t have much time left.
According to past experience, the snow on the ground will melt before April, and the roads will return to normal in early May.
It is now March, which means that they have only two months at most. After two months, the Germans are very likely to launch an attack on them!
Although compared to half a year ago, the Soviet army has made considerable progress in the war, and they have withstood the test of actual combat in the contest with the European coalition forces.
A large number of the latest equipment have also begun to become proficient, and the Soviet artillery, air force and armored forces have performed well in this war.
Especially their air force and artillery!
The I-15 fighter and the La-5 fighter, the two latest fighters, performed very well in actual combat and successfully suppressed the British and French fighters.
Even when facing the German BF-108, they achieved a considerable lead!
What is even more valuable is that the Soviet fighter pilots have gained a lot of rich combat experience in actual combat.
Many young pilots have grown up rapidly after being tempered in actual combat, and many ace pilots have emerged in the Russian Air Force!
The performance of a single-wing full-metal shell fighter is of course more advanced than that of a British and French biplane fighter.
As for a small number of German BF-108 fighters, this fighter is just an experimental fighter that was eliminated by the German army to verify the performance of jet fighters.
The German army itself does not have a large number of equipment. The German standard equipment is actually the BF-109, and the latter’s performance is much better than the former, so the Soviet army’s record of defeating the BF-108 is actually not much reference for the German army!
Of course, for the coalition forces at this time, the performance of the Soviet I-15 and La-5 fighters is indeed much more advanced than the fighters they are currently equipped with.
If the normal development trajectory is followed, after the Third Reich developed the BF-109, both Gaul and the British Empire would follow up in a very short time and then develop a new fighter with performance similar to the German BF-109.
However, due to the war, Gaul and the British Empire were both cleaned up by the German army, which interrupted the development progress of these two countries. Due to the national strength of other countries in Europe, they could not develop high-performance advanced fighters themselves.
So they could only buy from the Third Reich, and the Third Reich seized a large number of British and French equipment from them in the process of defeating Gaul and eliminating the British Empire.
The German army itself would definitely not adopt these equipment because they have better options.
If they don’t use it, then this thing can only be sold out!
Otherwise, it will only rot in the warehouse if it stays in their hands.
As for the BF-108, which the German army itself did not equip, to be honest, the Empire did not intend to sell this fighter publicly to make money at first.
Although the BF-108 is not the most advanced fighter of the German army, this fighter still has many highlights in design. If it is sold like this, it is likely to cause many countries to imitate and follow suit. If they come up with an advanced fighter with performance similar to that of the BF-109, it will obviously be very disadvantageous to the German army.
However, many senior officials of the Empire, including Mainz, underestimated the degree of fanatical pursuit of German equipment by the outside world.
After the Empire made it clear that the BF-109 was not for sale, even though they knew that the performance of the BF-108 was far inferior to that of the BF-109, many countries still placed orders with the Third Reich!
The reason is simple: the products of the Empire must be fine products!
Although the BF-108 is not the most advanced equipment of the Third Reich, it is a weapon designed and produced by the Third Reich after all, and its quality is guaranteed!
And if someone paid for this thing, the Empire naturally had no reason to refuse, after all, the arms trade was very profitable!
After the first person tried it, other countries also followed suit, resulting in almost every country in the coalition equipped with some BF-108 fighters provided by the German army.
This fighter had achieved very good results when fighting against the bear at the beginning. When facing the I-15 and I-17, the BF-108 could suppress the opponent.
The Soviet army did not actually take advantage in the initial air battles, but after the Soviet army invested in their secret weapon, the La-5 fighter, the situation turned around!
The coalition was extremely dissatisfied with this. They believed that they had excellent pilots on their side, but they lost in the performance of the fighter. If the Third Reich was willing to sell them the most advanced BF-109 fighter, the outcome would definitely be very different.
However, the Soviet army on the other side of the coalition’s complaints did not know that they were still complacent about defeating the coalition and defeating the German fighters in the hands of the coalition!
“The German fighter planes don’t look like much. Although I admit that European pilots are really good and difficult to deal with, we are stronger than them, our planes are better, and our pilots are better, so I really can’t think of any reason why we would lose!”
The Air Force is full of confidence and excited about the upcoming Soviet-German decisive battle, because they know that once the war breaks out, they will face a lot of battles. In these battles, they have the opportunity to make achievements, and as long as they can survive the war smoothly, their future life status is bound to change dramatically!
Like the Air Force, the Soviet artillery has also accumulated a lot of experience in this war, and their confidence has been greatly improved.
