We have an aero study hall?
That said, I think I follow what you said: Mach number determines how the airflow behaves; equivalent airspeed determines the amount of airflow going over the aircraft; AoA for a given airspeed and mach number correlates to a given amount of lift with the critical angle being the point where a stall occurs, and when 1g equals the critical mach number: A stall results.
Since critical AoA lowers as mach number increases, to hold 1g (or any g-load), one would have to fly at a higher speed to stay above the stall, correct?
