Chapter 147 Joining Hands (Part 2) "Has the battle begun?" At the newly opened George Airport on Saipan, a group of German volunteers dressed as standard US Army aviation pilots looked up at the sky. Although they could not directly see the sky from their position, Although we saw the situation of the air battle, we can still roughly deduce the evolution of the battle situation based on the departure time and combat radius of the US fighter group. (¡ª¡ª) "When will it be our turn to attack?" Different from the situation when this question was asked more than a week ago, there are now many more "Made in Germany" on the US military airport on this central Pacific island¡ª¡ª Parked in the temporary hangar next to the reserve runway are racks of brand-new F anti-aircraft rockets, sufficient 20mm machine gun shells and 13.1mm heavy machine gun shells, and full built-in fuel tanks. At the airport in Saipan, these The door that had been carefully inspected was gently tapped. Although Ludendorff tried his best to maintain a peaceful and calm attitude, he felt a sense of suffocation being locked in a cabin with the door unlocked. "The door is open, please help yourself!" After a young and polite Italian navy ensign entered the door, he said very politely: "Mr. Major, Colonel Bruni, please go to the command room!" "I am a prisoner, not Your guest!" Ludendorff still insisted on his stubbornness, but did not reach out to hit the smiling man, not to mention he was also curious about the fighting situation outside. So he straightened his clothes and followed the ensign to the bridge command room. ¡°Considering that today¡¯s breakfast time is a bit early, I specially asked the restaurant to prepare morning tea!¡± Bruni politely asked Ludendorff to take a seat. The unpleasant conversations two hours ago seemed to have been abandoned to Java Island by him. "I can't get used to your Italian attitude towards life!" Ludendorff sat down with a cold face, "If you want to get any news from me, I'm sorry, but you won't get it!" "No. "Of course not!" Bruni clasped his hands, "I am a devout Catholic and I despise war and killing from the bottom of my heart! In fact, the Japanese asked us to escort their main fleet as soon as possible. This is a bad job! "It's not surprising. They didn't invite you here for a tourist vacation!" Ludendorff said unceremoniously, "In fact, we almost gave them a taste of it last night, just a little bit!" "That must be interesting!" Bruni looked at Ludendorff with sympathy, "I guess the Americans did not completely listen to your advice. An experienced veteran like you, the ability to seize opportunities is like the Bavarian Forest. "The old hunter here!" "The Bavarians are not good at naval warfare!" Ludendorff was still talking. "Hey, so you are not from Bavaria, W¨¹rttemberg? Holstein?" Bruni deliberately tried to get close, but this time he made an undue mistake. Although Ludendorff was not from a famous family, after all, he produced a well-known figure like Erich Ludendorff. During World War I, this famous general who rose to the rank of Chief of Staff of the German Army led a series of large-scale attacks, and in Victory was almost achieved during the 1918 offensive - Germany's defeat was attributed to "being stabbed in the back". Not only were the main generals under the Kaiser not put on trial, they still enjoyed a high reputation in Germany after the war. Hindenburg, who finally sat on the presidential throne, is direct proof! Major Ludendorff seemed to have been greatly humiliated and replied with a straight face: "Prussia, Posen!" "OhPrussia, great Prussia, the core of Germany!" Bruni quickly paid tribute. Ludendorff¡¯s expression was still solemn. He slowly picked up the tea cup. The elegant fragrance almost made him forget the fact that he was on the battlefield. Bruni eagerly flattered: "In fact, I have reported your situation to the fleet commander and asked him to approve sending you back to Europe. And I can guarantee my personality that I will never let you return home as a prisoner of war. !¡± Although Ludendorff was a little tempted by this proposal, he was unwilling to show it. He casually glanced out the window: "You plan to just follow the Japanese fleet?" "Our original intention was to rendezvous with the Japanese fleet, but the consumption of fuel forced us to maintain a more economical speed, so We are helpless to find that the distance between ourselves and the Japanese fleet is getting wider and wider, but what is good is that our main fleet has caught up! In two hours, you will be able to see our large fleet! " After hearing this, Ludendorff realized more and more what a wise decision it was for Germany's decision-makers to strategically abandon Italy - when you encounter such an ally, you will have to vomit a few liters of blood if you don't want to be angry to death!
