"Will our aviation send the air force to support it?"

Model did not answer, but asked back.

"Well, they agreed! The 4th Air Force will have an air force to support our attack within half an hour!"

Chief of Staff Colonel Everfelt Halchert responded with a pleasant smile.

"Did they say how many fleets of planes they sent?"

Model asked anxiously.

"At least one wing!"

Chief of Staff Everfelt still replied happily.

"Oh! Why did they suddenly become so generous this time!"

Model was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

"Because this is the order given to them by the Head of State in advance, maybe it is because you have given the head of state phone number, you have given me a call! That's why they support your local battle so strongly!"

Chief of Staff Everfert also replied with a very complicated smile.

"These people really only look at the head of state!"

Hearing this, Model muttered depressedly.

"There is no way! Because the Head of State gave many new aircraft to various air fleets, and the Head of State is now the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Air Force, and is vigorously developing and rectifying the human resources of all air fleets!"

Chief of Staff Everfert replied with a wry smile.

"Okay! I understand! These people are all thigh-hugging elements! Then wait until our air force arrives before taking action! Let our troops slowly fight with the Soviet troops for a while! Now let's see how our surprise troops prepare for first!"

Model shook his head helplessly and said.

"Yes! General Model!"

Chief of Staff Everfelt also nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them immediately took the car and went to the rear to watch their surprise troops.

Soon they arrived at the defensive position in the rear, where the 3rd and 11th Armored Divisions of the 48th Armored Army of the German Army, the Great German Division, and the 10th Armored Brigade had some forces, a total of 500 T-54 tanks, 200 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 100 128mm PAK44 (Krupp) heavy anti-tank guns dedicated to dealing with Soviet IS-2 tanks, 100 75mm anti-tank guns, and many other types of weapons and equipment.

"Hey! General Moder, how could our surprise be from the 48th Armored Army, and even their commander General von Kenobesf is here!"

After seeing Model's meaningless surprise troops clearly, Chief of Staff Everfert was shocked and stunned.

"Hmm! Don't you know? Didn't Chief Operations Staff Officer John Hultz tell you?"

Seeing the surprise expression of dealing with him, Model puzzled.

"No, that bastard didn't tell me that I've been busy deploying our defensive combat positions recently and I have no extra time to deal with other things. Moreover, you have always kept it secret about our surprise troops and did not reveal any rumors to me!"

Chief of Staff Everfert complained in confusion.

"Oh, so that's it, but it's not too late to know now!"

Model suddenly realized.

“…”

Looking at Model's obvious expression and tone, Chief of Staff Everfert stood silently, feeling disheartened and speechless.

"By the way, General Moder, if you seconded the 48th Armored Army and the elite troops of the Great German Division, then isn't General Hort's combat effectiveness greatly reduced? How could Marshal Manstein agree! Especially the head of state dispatched his most elite 2nd Armored Army to Sicily!"

After a long time, Chief of Staff Everfert suddenly remembered in surprise.

"Yes! Both General Hort and Marshal Manstein disagreed! Although half of the armored forces were removed from them, they still hurt their troops' strength. Later, the head of state intervened in the matter and evaded hundreds of thousands of new recruits from our reserves to Marshal Manstein and others.

Instead! And when the local battles here are completed, we will immediately return all the elite troops that were seconded to the original owner."

"In addition, the Head of State also gave Manstein a large number of new weapons and equipment, such as the StG44 assault rifle, the AKM assault rifle, and some other new weapons and equipment that we do not know. In addition, the Head of State also specially dispatched a large number of air teams to support Marshal Manstein and their local battles!"

"But this is not the point. The most important thing is that the head of state ordered Marshal Manstein to be that as long as they fought a defensive battle and once they could not defeat the Soviet troops, they could immediately evacuate in an orderly manner. Violators would be punished according to the casualties! That is why they reluctantly dispatched half of the elite troops to come over and temporarily use them as our surprise soldiers!"

"And don't forget that they have Kempf clusters, and half of the elites of the 48th Panzer Army are there, so they shouldn't have anything big!"

Model explained with a bright look.

"So that's the case. No wonder General Hoss and Marshal Manstein are so generous! Their current troops are still in the occupied areas of the Southern Line!"

Chief of Staff Everfert also understood instantly.

"But if your Excellency General does this, aren't you afraid that these armored troops will leak all our new tank groups to Marshal Manstein and others?"

Chief of Staff Everfelt suddenly reminded him with concern.

"It's useless to be afraid, and I heard from the Head of State that he has now ordered Minister Sperer to stop production of all old tanks, such as No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 tanks! Now our empire will only fully produce Leopard tanks, develop and produce T-54 tanks, and produce some new Tiger tanks, but the target will only focus on the production of Leopard tanks and T-54 tanks!"

Model explained.

"Well! T-54 tank, why does this name sound like the name of the Soviet tank!"

Chief of Staff Everfert asked, staring at Moder in confusion.

"I heard from the head of state that this is the most advanced new tank that the Soviet army is secretly developing! He sent spies to take out their design drawings and conduct secret production!"

Model told him the lie that Chen Yanlong told him.

"Ah! The head of state intelligence officer is so powerful that he can even get the high-level secrets of the Soviet army!"

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Everfert said in shock.

"Don't make such a fuss. This is the secret of the head of state! We'd better not pay much attention to it. If we shouldn't know, don't be smart and ask more questions, otherwise you will be at your own risk! If you don't know how to interfere in this matter, then if something happens then, don't say that I haven't reminded you!"
