"You are their commander-in-chief Gothard Heinrich?"

As soon as Commander Golan Wisjek came to Gothard Heinrich, he immediately stared at the other party with a condescending attitude.

"So what?"

Gothard Heinrich, who was commanding the construction of fortifications, glanced at the other party with an expressionless look and a sharp look like an eagle.

"You have led so many troops to suddenly land on our Pantelleria Island, have you ever approved and approved by our Prime Minister Mussolini?"

Commander Golan Weisjek, who was frightened by the other party's sharp eyes, immediately calmed down and continued to pluck up the courage to say.

"No, we just came here to fight a defensive battle with the British and American troops under the order of our head of state! Do you have any dissatisfaction or opinions?"

Gothard Heinrich didn't look at the other person anymore and replied lightly.

"This is our consular district in Italy, without the orders of our Prime Minister; please leave immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude to you!"

Seeing that Gothard Heinrich didn't take himself seriously at all, Commander Golan Wisjek warned in anger.

"Oh! You're welcome to us? If I remember correctly, we're from the Allies! Is this how your Italian army treating their allies? And I wonder how you plan to be rude to us? Are you planning to kill us and then fight against the British and American Allies alone? Or are you planning to give our heads to them and surrender to them for credit?"

Gothard Heinrich said calmly staring at the other party without any emotion.

"You're talking nonsense! Of course we won't do that!"

Commander Golan Weisjek, who was insulted by the other party's statement, immediately turned red and immediately retorted.

"Since you don't have such a surrender idea, let me stand aside. I still have a lot to do! Don't talk too much in front of me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Gothard Heinrich, who was just fine, suddenly scolded the other party without recognizing others.

“…”

After being scolded by Gothard Heinrich, who changed his face so quickly, Commander Golan Wisjek was stunned without any temper.

"Hey! German guys, what's your attitude! After all, you are all in our Italian territory now. Are you still allies who ignore and treat us like this indifferently and roughly?"

At this moment, an Italian officer standing behind Commander Golan Weisjek suddenly stood up fiercely and pointed his finger at Gothard Heinrich and sweared.

"You are really wasting my time, come! Drive all these Italian troops out of Pantelleria Island for me! This island is too small to accommodate so many of us!"

Gothard Heinrich immediately ordered the Hermann Goring Paratrooper Armored Division, the 15th Armored Grenadier Division, and the 16th Armored Division to start rushing to the humanitarian state.

Upon hearing this, all the Italian troops were furious in an instant and were ready to aim their rifles at the Germans.

However, the German army was moving faster, and before all the Italian troops could react, they had already surrounded them densely with guns and cannons.

"I...we are allies! What do you want to do to us!"

Facing the German army with a large number of people and a quicker attack than them, Commander Golan Wisjek said to Gothard Heinrich in fear.

"What's wrong? I only realize that I'm afraid now? Where did the arrogance just now go?"

Heinrich stared at Commander Golan Wisjek who was beginning to fear, saying word by word.

"I……"

Commander Golan Weisjek was embarrassed and at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this, Gothard Heinrich waved his hand to all the German troops beside him, indicating that he should not aim his gun at the Italian army.

"We have no malice towards you, and we don't want to come to such a desolate island! But according to the intelligence of our head of state, the British and American allies are about to land here, so our head of state suddenly sent us here to assist you in the battle and relieve your injuries! As for your Prime Minister Mussolini, he will notify him!"

"But if you feel that we are not doing this well, then we can do nothing here and watch you fight the British and American troops quietly! But I believe you also know that the strategic location of Pantelleria is more important to Sicily; if we lose this place, then we will not be able to monitor the actions of British and American troops, and then Sicily will be in great danger of being carried out by the enemy's sudden landing war!"

"And if Sicily falls, then your Italian natives will be in danger!"

Gothard Heinrich suddenly put down his coldness and explained in a gentle tone.

“…”

After listening, Commander Golan Weisjek suddenly fell silent in embarrassment.

"The area of ​​this small island is really not large. For our defense operations, there is no need for so many people, so I will dispatch a group of troops to return to Sicily later! Moreover, our battle with the British and American Allies here will not last long. All our actions will obey our heads of state and carry out deployment operations!"

"So this place is still your territory! You will decide by yourself! So I hope we can work together to maintain the defense here and survive together, rather than incitement of civil unrest! If we fight each other in this way, the people who will benefit in the end will be the British and American allies!"

"I have so much to say. You can do whatever you like!"

Seeing that the other party was not talking, Gothard Heinrich said frankly.

After saying that, he continued to command all the German troops to carry out fortifications on the island, and also allowed the 16th Armored Division to return to Sicily first and wait for the new order from the head of state.

Because Pantelleria Island is too small, there is no need for so many troops to defend.

And the Italians who had calmed down went back to their camp in shame to get lunch.

Regarding the embarrassing coaxing just now, they pretended that nothing had happened and went to do their own things.

And at night, when the sky was filled with brilliant stars, a US fleet was quietly approaching Panteleria Island.

This fleet includes 3 battleships, 3 cruisers, 6 destroyers, 3 minesweepers, and 4 small combat ships; there are also landing crafts used for landing operations, as well as tank landing crafts...

This was a tentative vanguard sent by the British and American Allies to prepare for night raids and landing operations. Of course, there were also a large group of fighter jets and bombers above them to escort them, and prepare to air strikes on Panteleria Island, first destroying all anti-aircraft artillery positions on the island, as well as enemy airfields and aircraft troops.

However, the first step of the British and American Allies' tentative attack was probably the same as they were, relying on air superiority first; using large-scale ground planes to carry out saturated and felt bombing; and then the bombing of naval guns.
