LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 4
At present, the Empire is still very short of manpower, and many factories have begun to recruit female workers, so August asked him to train 30 armored divisions, which was indeed scary.
But if the 250,000 field divisions of the Air Force were really allocated to him, he would definitely be confident that he could train 30 armored divisions. The combat effectiveness of these 250,000 field divisions is actually not weak.
"Can you really provide 5,000 Panther tanks?"Guderian still couldn't believe it. After all, the Empire's annual production was less than 5,000.
"Yes, within a month, 5,000 Panthers will definitely be in place. In the second month, I will deliver another 1,000 Tiger tanks and 500 King Tiger tanks. The only requirement is that they will be trained separately into a new armored army group, and you will be the commander in person. Give me a hard lesson for the damned Russian bear."August stared at Guderian.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that if there are really so many tanks, I will have the confidence to lead the Wehrmacht to fight a beautiful counterattack."Guderian vowed
"Very good!"
Then the two chatted about the construction of the armored forces, and then let him leave. What they had to do now was to get money.
""Zorn, take your men to Schacht to get five tons of gold." Since he became the emperor of the Third Reich, August naturally had to take responsibility and lead the empire to turn the tide.
"Huh? Five tons of gold?"Zorn was stunned. This is not a small number.
"What? You can't handle it?" August snorted coldly.
"No, no problem, just………"There was a trace of embarrassment on Zorn's face. There were only a few people around him.
"From now on, I appoint you as the commander of the Royal Palace Guards, with the rank of major general. Recruit all our former teammates back. I need them."August looked at Zorn with a serious expression. He had once established the Steel Helmet Organization, which later became the SA. However, after the mustache came to power, most of the SA members were absorbed into the SS. Now that he has inherited the throne, he naturally has to recall all his former subordinates.
‘Is this like the return of the God of War, seeing his daughter living in a doghouse, and commanding 100,000 soldiers to attack?
August muttered a few words, then put it aside. He was going to hold a special meeting now.
………
In the magnificent conference room, August, dressed in military uniform, opened the door and walked into the conference room.
"The Emperor is here!"As the guards shouted, everyone stood up and looked at Augustus in silence.
"Long live the Emperor!"In unison, August motioned for everyone to sit down.
"To make a long story short, the empire is now at a critical moment of life and death, so let's not waste time. First of all, as far as I know, the troops on the Eastern Front have been understaffed, and our logistics department has not replenished the front line in time."August stared at Admiral Kuhn who was in charge of logistics and said
"Your Majesty, due to the harassment of the guerrillas on the front line, the railway line has been severely damaged and the troops have been unable to be transported to the front line."As the Minister of Transportation of the Empire, Admiral Kuhn cannot escape this responsibility, so he had to bite the bullet and stand up and say
"This is not a reason. Can't a mere guerrilla force solve the problem? Where does the high annual garrison fee go?"
"In addition, our strategy needs to be adjusted. We can't just stop killing with killing. We have to adopt a more conciliatory policy. From now on, all concentration camps will be checked immediately, and all those without any crime will be released immediately. Don't bargain with me."August looked at the people in front of him and said in a cold tone
"Are the Jews also released?" someone asked boldly.
"Release them all, and distribute farmland to them. As long as they can keep farming and have nothing to do with the guerrillas, they will all be released."August always thought that the mustache man was not smart. Although anti-Semitism was not wrong, what was wrong with those ordinary Jews? Some of them even regarded themselves as members of Germany.
Therefore, he must now abolish this one-size-fits-all approach and treat them differently. As long as it is implemented for a long time, the resistance will definitely be much smaller.
"Suspend all actions on the Eastern Front and enter the defensive phase. All troops must hold out for three months."After thinking for a while, August immediately made an important decision on the Eastern Front campaign.
At this time, the Eastern Front was already very corrupt. With the surrender of the Sixth Army, it was impossible to stop the attack. As long as the current defense line could be held, it would be the biggest victory.
First stabilize the Eastern Front, consolidate the Western Front, and free up hands to reinforce the besieged North African Corps.
The hundreds of thousands of North African Corps trapped in Tunisia are all the elite of the empire. If they are really wiped out, it will definitely be a big loss.
Hearing that the Eastern Front offensive was stopped, many people breathed a sigh of relief. As for defense, there are still millions of troops on the Eastern Front, and it is not a problem to stop the counterattack of the bear.
