Chapter 8
Back in the office, August came to his senses and looked at the Iron Cross on his chest. There were thousands of tanks lined up inside.
As long as he found a warehouse, he could move all these weapons out.
""Zorn, find me a large warehouse. If it's idle, no one will use it." August shouted
"Yes!" Zorn responded quickly
………
Recently, Guderian is taking over the field divisions assigned to the Air Force, so he is very busy. It must be said that the foundation of the Air Force field divisions is really good. Basically everyone has an elementary school education or above, and many of them have driven tractors.
This makes Guderian overjoyed, which means that his training time will be greatly reduced.
"General, His Majesty the Emperor wants you to go." Guderian was stunned for a moment after receiving the notice, wondering, could they get the tanks so quickly?
Five thousand tanks? This is not a small number. Even if you search through all the military factories in the country, it is impossible to build so many tanks in such a short time.
""Your Majesty, did you get a tank?" Guderian came to a warehouse and asked in surprise at August.
""Yes, they are all inside, let's take a look." August waved his hand and said calmly.
When the warehouse door was opened, Guderian was stunned by the dazzling array of tanks in front of him. He was shocked and unbelievable.
""Your Majesty, these, these, so many Panther tanks? Are they real? Where did you get them from? Are they from the Empire's previous inventory?" Guderian asked stutteringly. If there were so many tanks before, the Eastern Front would not have been defeated so badly.
"You don't need to ask for details. All these Leopard tanks are handed over to you. There are 5,000 of them, enough to arm ten armored divisions. I will give you three months to train them all."August said calmly.
"General Guderian, please remember that this is a secret product of the Empire. You must keep it confidential and don't let anyone else know. There are also 500 Tiger II tanks in it. Use them to form a heavy-duty destroyer battalion."
"Yes, please rest assured, I will keep it confidential."Guderian said solemnly
"Send someone to receive these tanks as soon as possible, and keep it secret, this is our trump card."After saying that, August left first, he had more important things to deal with.
Five hundred TA-152 fighters were parked neatly at a field airport outside Berlin.
"Isn't this a TA-152 fighter?"When she saw the shape of the fighter, Catherine couldn't help but exclaimed.
He was one of the top leaders of the Air Force, and he was naturally familiar with the TA-152, but he had always been in the drawing stage, and he didn't expect to see the real thing here.
Not only that, but there were a lot of them.
"My God, how many are there?" Catherine took a quick look and gasped.
"Five hundred, all TA-152 fighters, and equipped with ten base ammunition."August said with a smile
"I don't need to say much about its specific performance. You should know that it has 1 30mm cannon and 4 20mm cannons. Such firepower can definitely tear apart the Allied B-17 strategic bomber."
"Your Majesty, if this type of fighter had been equipped earlier, the Eastern Front might not have suffered such a terrible defeat." Catherine looked at the fighter in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not too late now. These fighter planes are handed over to you. I hope they can appear on the Eastern Front as soon as possible and teach the Russian bear a lesson, letting him know how powerful we are."August said with a smile.
However, Catherine still had a worried expression on her face, and then said worriedly:"Your Majesty, but our aviation kerosene stocks are running low."
Gasoline and diesel are easy to solve. By cutting other expenses, you can squeeze out a little, but aviation kerosene is different. It really is a little less if you use it.
Can it last for three months?" Hearing this, August asked.
He also knew that fuel was the biggest reason limiting the German fighter planes, but he didn't have a better solution at the moment. The Russian bear's fighter planes had been bombing Romania, and the oil pipelines had been blown up several times, and the German army was too lazy to repair them.
Without air superiority, it would be useless to repair them, so it would be better to just throw them away.
"At most two and a half months, it will be used up." Catherine said, gritting her teeth.
"Two and a half months? That's enough." August nodded. He decided to go back and immediately dispatch paratroopers to land on Malta and activate Rommel.
