Three days later, a report on the low-altitude dive machine gun blast appeared in front of Governor Feslav.

It is the fine tradition of the Austrian army to record the progress on the battlefield and to sum up the gains and losses. At the same time, the Austrian army is unique in this era.

Recording the war process seems simple, but not everyone can complete it. At least it is impossible for countries that have not completed compulsory education.

The benefits of doing so are self-evident. Perhaps most of the combat experience recorded is repetitive nonsense, but as long as one thousandth of the content is valuable, it is earned.

Especially in the use of new weapons and equipment and the exploration of new tactics, these materials are particularly important.

Therefore, the Army writes reports only for officers, while the freshly released Air Force, everyone writes reports.

Low-altitude dive bombing and low-altitude dive machine gun fire are not new terms. Someone has proposed a similar concept as early as a decade ago.

Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with His Majesty Franz. Franz’s military white is not false, but he also knows that although the military philosophy of later generations is good, it is also based on specific conditions.

Take dive bombing as an example, it is not just a low-altitude bomb. Not all aircraft have the ability to dive at low altitude.

Even if the performance of the aircraft is satisfied, what is the low-altitude method of this low-altitude flight? It must also be explored in actual combat.

While achieving the results, we must also ensure the safety of personnel and aircraft as much as possible, otherwise it will be a replica of the Kamikaze Brigade.

Therefore, the great strategic idea of ​​using airships to dive carpet bombing at low altitude is not Franz’s masterpiece.

The emergence of this concept in the Austrian army is not without aim, but is supported by actual combat cases.

The airship was just put into military use, and the Austrian airship force tried it on Ottoman, and achieved remarkable results.

At the time, this strategic concept also became the mainstream of the world and was recommended by many military big Vs.

But with the advent of anti-aircraft weapons, everyone found that the airship flying at low altitude is a living target, and this theory was soon shelved.

Airships are not applicable, which is not equal to aircrafts. At least at this stage, the air defense weapons of various countries pose little threat to aircrafts. In theory, low-altitude diving has become feasible.

Because of the insufficient weight of the aircraft, the dive strategic bombing became a machine gun fire, which weakened the power by more than one piece.

With the failure of the airship, Admiral Fislav did not rush to make a decision, but fell into contemplation.

Whether this is an example or a military concept with long-term development and application prospects is still a mystery so far.

Seeing Feslav unable to make up his mind, the side air major general Andrew McCarthy added another fire.

”Your Excellency Commander, regardless of whether there is any prospect for the development of the dive aircraft, it is only effective in a short period of time.

We have conducted many exercises, and the existing air defense weapons pose very little threat to the aircraft, and the dive-fire can easily achieve results.

Even if the French discover the weakness of this tactic, it will take time to find a way to target it. Prior to this, it did not affect our promotion of this tactic. ”

Major General Andrew behaved so positively, but was essentially forced out. Compared with the Army and Navy, the Air Force is a little brother.

If the Air Force is strong enough, this does not require other arms to cooperate with tactical promotion, and there is no need to report to the theater commander.

The soldiers still have to talk about the record. The Austrian Air Force has been established for too short a time, and it has no record at all. The waist of the talk is naturally not hard enough.

If it wasn’t for Franz’s support, they would still be the Army’s flying force, and they wouldn’t have the ability to become an independent army.

In this context, the Air Force sighed with a sigh of relief, eager to prove its worth on the battlefield.

Therefore, the Air Force has always been the most active in promoting new tactics. Otherwise, it is impossible to verify the feasibility immediately after receiving a battlefield report.

After contemplating for a while, Feslav nodded: ”In theory, it is indeed feasible, but it needs more practical combat support before it can be promoted to the whole army.

In the following days, I allow your Air Force to attack on its own, verify, or perfect, this set of tactics. ”

The development of military technology has never been smooth sailing. A big country like Austria has enough capital to pay for tuition for military technology development, and the promotion of any new tactics is piled up in countless failures.

This is also the reason why many weapons and tactical concepts have not been adopted after they were born. Without the support of actual combat results, everyone has no idea!

...

With the support of the theater commander, the Austrian Air Force stationed on the Sinai Peninsula immediately took action.

The area of ​​Egypt is ”lively”. Not only the positions and the fortresses have become the hardest hit by the bombing, but the streets and fields have also become hunting grounds for the Austrian Air Force.

In order to collect more actual combat data, the Air Force has no reason to consider the cost, let alone try a wave everywhere.

As for the consequences, this is not within the consideration of Major General Andrew. Anyway, the bullets hit the enemy's ground, it is nothing more than the question of the size of the results.

...

Since the completion of the airship force, Cairo has become the territory of the Austrian Air Force. Every day, a combination of airship + aircraft will come to check in from time to time.

To save his life, Governor Jacob had to move the headquarters into the basement. In fact, he originally wanted to find a safer hole.

Unfortunately, the city of Cairo was in the heart of Egypt. The French never considered the threat of foreign enemies. The latest military threat was the last rebel siege.
