The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

"Manstein." Soon, the battle report from the front was delivered to the City Palace. August took the telegram and remained silent for a long time. Then he sighed.

""Your Majesty, should Manstein be allowed to return to Berlin to report?" Marshal Keitel said respectfully.

Marshal Keitel was also embarrassed. Since the mustache was gone, he, the Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command, has become a decoration, and he can command even fewer troops. He originally thought that he would be ordered to retire, but August not only did not let him retire, but let him continue to be in charge of the Supreme Command.

"Changing generals before a battle is a taboo in the military. There is no need to recall them. It seems that our actions on Malta have stimulated the Allies. They are anxious."August combined intelligence and control of the future situation, and naturally understood.

At this time, the Russian bear was not ready for a general attack. Such a battle in a warehouse was definitely not the style of the Russian bear. The only explanation was the pressure from the Allies.

"Do you want us to focus on the Eastern Front?"Marshal Keitel immediately came to his senses and said

"Yes, you guessed it right, they just want us to focus on the Eastern Front so that they can eliminate the hundreds of thousands of German troops trapped in Tunisia."August said coldly.

If he didn't have the golden finger, he might not be able to turn the tables, but now it's different. With the arms commercial street, he has the strength to turn the tables.

"The Eastern Front should enter the defensive phase."Marshal Keitel said anxiously:"Your Majesty, we don't have the strength to fight on two fronts now, and our fuel reserves are only enough for two months."

"I know, so we have to teach the bear a lesson, so that we can have some time to breathe."August waved his hand and continued

’It looks like I have to go to the arms commercial street again. '

During this period, the Air Force has been vigorously training J-5 pilots. Fortunately, the German army has already formed a me262 jet fighter flight squadron, so it is still very easy to train them.

According to Marshal Catherine, as long as there are enough fighter planes, one hundred J-5 jet fighters can be launched at a time.

This time when entering the arms commercial street, August is not going to buy new weapons, because there were no particularly excellent weapons in the 1950s.

In terms of tanks, there are nearly 10,000 tanks of various types, which are enough to cope with the current situation. The only thing missing is oil.

So before getting the oil fields of Libya, August is not going to buy new tanks.

Moreover, the second level needs to cost 10 billion to open the third level, and the funds he can use now are only about 1 billion.

The only thing to buy is the Air Force, and at least 100 J-5 jet fighters must be purchased for the Eastern Front campaign. The rest is to buy a large amount of ammunition.

You know, a salvo of 1,000 Katyusha rockets costs almost 50 million, and the little money in his pocket can't last long.

"Order, Manstein immediately counterattack, I must teach the damned bear a lesson."August said loudly

""Yes!" Marshal Keitel replied

"Don't worry, we will definitely win this time." August said confidently.

………

Army Group South, Manstein is at the headquarters, checking the damage report on the front line

"The No. 3 Russian artillery position was destroyed by our army's fierce artillery fire."

"Artillery position No. 7 no longer counterattacks!"

"The first line of defense of the bear is surrounded by a sea of fire……"

"The forward observation post called and found that the Russian Air Force had taken off and was heading towards us."

The adjutant reported with a bunch of telegrams, while Manstein listened expressionlessly.

"The Supreme Command called: His Majesty the Emperor ordered: Your unit should counterattack immediately, and the Air Force will do its utmost to support you. In addition, the ammunition consumed by your unit is on the way."The communications staff came in and said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Marshal Manstein's eyes lit up. He had been hesitating whether to counterattack, because he also knew that the Empire's production capacity could not keep up, and now was not the best time to counterattack.

However, the battles in the past two days were very good. The Russians suffered heavy losses, more than 50,000 people in total, while the Germans lost less than 3,000 people, and there was basically no loss in heavy weapons. Such a huge advantage made Manstein want to counterattack.

Originally thought that he would not get support, he did not expect August to directly send the Air Force

"One hundred new jet fighters from the Air Force are on their way." The communications officer added.

Hearing this, Manstein was full of confidence and said with a wave of his hand:"Notify all units that once the Air Force defeats the Russian fighters, they will immediately launch a counterattack."

"Yes!"
