The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

At the City Palace, August received the telegram of victory and was in a very good mood. He was relieved at the same time. As expected, when the J-5 appeared, the P-51 fighter was rubbish.

When the J-6 appeared, August could proudly declare that all the fighters present were rubbish. Anyone who disagreed could stand up.

"Call Catherine back. All the participants in this battle will be promoted one level. Each will be awarded a Malta Air Combat Medal. Those who shoot down three fighter planes will be awarded an Iron Cross. Those who shoot down more than ten will be awarded the Knight's Iron Cross. I will personally award the outstanding ones."August said solemnly.

"Yes!" Zorn said respectfully.

"In addition, the news of this great victory should be announced. The Empire needs victory, especially the soldiers on the front line. We need to let the hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in Tunisia know that the Empire has not given up on them. We are opening a rescue channel and believe that they will be rescued soon."August added again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."Zorn said respectfully.

At this time, at the North African Allied Command, Admiral Patton looked at Colonel Miller, who looked dazed, and asked with a frown.

"What happened? If I remember correctly, you had hundreds of fighter planes. How come there are only ten left? Where are the rest?"

After the reinforcements arrived at Malta, the German planes had already left, leaving behind the devastated island. The

Allied planes that couldn't find the enemy had to return.

Colonel Miller had not yet recovered from the previous air battle. His face was full of fear, and he murmured,"Commander, it's terrible. The enemy planes are too fast. We have no power to fight back. This is simply a massacre."

"What the hell is going on, damn it, FUCK." Admiral Patton was very angry and roared immediately.

Hearing this roar, Colonel Miller came to his senses:"It's terrible, Commander, the enemy's speed is too fast, more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and the climbing speed is more than 3,000 meters. Moreover, their machine guns, one shot, our fighter planes are gone."

"How is this possible... At such a fast speed, won't the fighter plane disintegrate?"

"Commander, this is true. We saw it with our own eyes."Colonel Miller said with gritted teeth.

"Damn it, when did the German army develop such an advanced fighter plane?"Admiral Patton was also very troubled.

He knew a little about jet fighters, but their performance was not so exaggerated. From what they said, it seemed that one enemy plane could fight against more than a dozen of their fighter planes. This was not good news.

"Report this news to the country. We also need new fighters. Also, let the intelligence department immediately collect information about the German army's new fighters." Admiral Patton said

"Yes!"

On May 20, Student was giving the paratroopers the last training before they boarded the plane to Italy.

They had to transfer to the airport in Italy, and then land on the island of Malta under the cover of the fighter formation. In these days, German fighter planes had several air battles around the island of Malta, and each time they shot down several times more enemy planes with minimal losses.

For a time, the Allied fighter planes did not dare to go to the island of Malta.

"Soldiers, the Empire needs you who are brave, and I hope you can bring victory to the Empire. Before boarding the plane, August gave a speech to mobilize the paratroopers.

"In my eyes, you are the sharpest spear of the empire. I hope you can display the spirit of your ancestors and fight for the empire until the last moment."

"I will be here to welcome you back in person. If you win, I will share wine with you. If you die in battle, I will personally carry your coffin."

"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"All the paratroopers shouted loudly. It was the first time they heard such a pre-war mobilization. The emperor carried the coffin. This was the highest honor.

"May God be with you, may the Empire be with you, go!"

"Long live!"

""Victory!"

Student was also very excited. The paratroopers who led the charge this time were almost fully armed. The latest assault rifles could provide more powerful firepower for the paratroopers.

There were also individual rocket launchers, which could destroy a tank with one shell, and could also destroy solid fortifications. There were also a large number of 60MM mortars, which could provide firepower support for the paratroopers at any time.

Compared with the previous paratrooper weapons, this time the German paratroopers were better than before.

The firepower was more than doubled, and now General Student was full of confidence.
