    After Germany seized a large area of ??land, resources and population from Russia on the Eastern Front, it was now time to return to the Western Front to solve the problem. Once the autumn offensive was successful, the German High Command planned to proudly submit the armistice negotiations to the Allies.  An olive branch to guard the border. Compared to Germany, France on the Western Front has been almost destroyed by the weight of the war. The development of the entire national economy has been reduced. The entire country has been reduced to barracks and battlefields. All factories are producing arms. The quality of life of the people has been reduced.  increasingly declining.  ¡¾High quality update.¡¿

    It is time to seek a glorious armistice on the Western Front. This is the deep-seated consensus of German leaders. Of course, for the pilots of the German 4th Air Force stationed in Ukraine, flying freely in the blue sky overlooking the earth,  Knocking down enemy planes one by one and drawing more stars or small planes on their fuselage to symbolize the number of enemy planes shot down is the pursuit of these European war aerial knights.

    In Germany in 1918, the Air Force was affiliated with the Army like other countries. The scientific name was the German Army Air Force or the German Naval Air Force, or the German Air Force for short. At this time, the organizational structure of the German Air Force was roughly divided into 1, Air Force, 2,  Flying Wing, 3, Flying Squadron.  In Wang Geng's previous life, it was not until the formation of the German Air Force before World War II that a four-level organization and command system was formulated, namely 1. Air Force, 2. Flying Wing, 3. Flying Group, and 4 Flying Squadron.

    Stationed in Ukraine is the 1st Fighter Wing of the German Army Air Force. This glorious unit was transferred from the Western Front to the Eastern Front and stationed in Ukraine. It should be said to be a rest or protection. During the Allied Summer Offensive, the 1st Fighter Wing obtained  Although Hindenburg and Ludendorff did not reach an agreement on dispatching ground troops on the Western Front to return to the Eastern Front to deal with the Allied Eastern Front coalition forces in early July.

    ¡°However, due to its quick transition, the 1st Fighter Wing of the German Air Force has already settled in one of the bridgeheads on the Eastern Front: Ukraine. This stay lasted almost a month.

    When talking about the 1st Fighter Wing, many people may not know what kind of force it is. Speaking of the most powerful aerial ace in the entire European War, the ace among aces, it is called "Red" by the world.  Manfred von Richthofen of "Baron", you may understand that the German 1st Fighter Wing is the Richthofen Wing, and it is also the first flight squadron in the world.  Alliance.

    His full name is Manfred Albrecht von Richthofen (.¡ª.), a German pilot known as the ace of aces.  He was also the fighter wing commander and the fighter ace who shot down the most enemy aircraft in World War I, shooting down a total of 80 enemy aircraft.

    Richthofen is known as "lebaronrouge", "lediablerouge", and "lepetitrouge" in the French area, and he is called "redknight" and "redbaron" in the English area.  In Germany, redbaron is translated as "derrotebaron", and this nickname is widely circulated in Germany.

    Richthofen was born into a noble family, with a noble life, strong martial arts, handsome appearance, perseverance, courage and extraordinary skills.  With his standard chivalry, unparalleled military exploits and his unique and charming fighting style, he has conquered the hearts of countless people, including enemies who hate him.

    He drove the big red Albatross three-wing fighter that gave him the name "Red Baron" and swept across the entire Western Front battlefield. Like a blazing flame, it rolled around, bringing pain, panic, panic and trembling to the enemy.  , bringing joy, joy, comfort and confidence to one's own people.  Richthofen's unique and huge charm made him one of the most famous aerial heroes in the history of human air combat.

    ?Manfred von Richthofen was born on May 2, 1892 in Breslau, Germany (now Wollowklaw, Poland).  He was killed in action over the Somme on April 21, 1918, at the age of 25.  He was known as the Red Pilot by the German public, and among the British propaganda machine he had a resounding nickname: "The Red Baron."  Media from various countries regard him as a hero of an era, representing the ideals, aspirations and reality of an era.

    Manfred Alberich Freich von Richthofen was born to the Prussian nobleman Major Alberich von Richthofen and his wife Kuningud.  "Fin" means "just and honest". This surname was previously given to his family by Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I.

    Manfred is the eldest of the Major's three sons (he also has a sister named Ilse).  Under the militaristic education system of the German Empire, Manfred entered the Junior Military Academy in Holstetter at the age of 11 to receive military training, and was later recommended to the Royal Army College for further study.

    Manfred is an outstanding athlete, heHe has a clear mind and excellent academic performance, and even won a scholarship.  He showed excellent equestrian talent in the military academy, which was also an opportunity for him to enter the cavalry unit in the future.  In April 1911, after graduation, Manfred was assigned to the 1st Lancers ("Alexander III" Regiment) - an elite unit with blood red as its symbol.  He was promoted to second lieutenant in 1912, when Manfred was only 19 years old.

    Unfortunately, at the beginning of the 20th century, the cavalry force was clearly out of date.  The invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun caused the cavalry to lose the scope for mobile combat, and trench warfare and positional warfare became the mainstream of ground combat.  When the European War broke out in 1914, Manfred hoped to challenge himself again in the emerging field of aviation.

    So he entered the aviation battle group in 1915. Due to the hasty training that could not allow him to fly independently, Manfred's first job in the sky was as a scout.  But everything changed when he met Oswald Polk.  Like many novice pilots at the time, Manfred considered Polk a hero and idol.  Under Polk's influence, he finally became a real pilot.

    On October 10, 1915, Manfred¡¯s friend Lieutenant Georg Zummer conducted 24 hours of flight training on him, and then he flew solo for the first time!  However, this flight time was obviously not enough, and Manfred smashed the plane into a mess when landing.

    In fact, as early as September 1915, when he was still a scout, Manfred Richthofen exchanged fire with a French aircraft and shot it down. However, because the enemy plane crashed in the Allied-controlled area, the result could not be determined.  Confirmation without being acknowledged.  Despite his bad luck, Manfred continued his hunt for prey with hope.
