Soon, an artillery battalion and a tank company were transferred over. When the presidential guards saw the tanks and artillery, their faces turned green.

"President, the rebels have mobilized artillery and tanks, we can't defend it."Someone reported.

""Assholes, damn it, how dare they do that." The president was furious.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, there was an explosion, and more than a dozen shells hit the presidential palace directly. In an instant, the originally solid and indestructible defense line was directly breached. General Emre decisively ordered the troops to launch a general attack.

………

"I didn't expect that Emre is such a talent."August of the City Palace in Berlin looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a smile.

He originally thought that it would be great if he could conquer Turkey within a month and a half. Unexpectedly, the war in Turkey was over in just half a month. This speed surprised August.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Emre would have such prestige. I really didn't expect it."Marshal Keitel also said with emotion.

In response, August's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said calmly:"If you can always be loyal to the empire, then it will be a great help to the empire. Humph, I'm afraid……"

August's worry is not without reason. If the other party is an ambitious person, he will definitely not be content to be a puppet. He will definitely find ways to restore his power.

Hearing this, Marshal Keitel nodded, thought for a while and said:"Your Majesty, should we send troops to station there? In this way, the other party will not make any waves?"

August shook his head and said:"No, support several surrounding countries and enhance their strength. They will solve these problems for us."

Instead of stationing troops, it is better to support several surrounding countries and let them keep a close eye on the Tuji Kingdom.

What's more, August has more important things to do, that is, winter is coming.

Not only that, he also needs to reward a group of people, and select a group of talented young"540" people to train them.

He now relies on the old people to do things, and if the future of the empire does not have young blood to be transported and trained, it will seriously affect the development of the empire.

"The matter of the Tuji Kingdom can come to an end. Let Lister continue the attack according to the established goal. In terms of logistics, let him find a way from several vassal states. It is not cost-effective to transport them from the empire."August finally decided.

"yes!"

"In addition, the Battle of the Dnieper River must be resolved as soon as possible to stop the fighting on the Eastern Front. Winter is coming, and it is time to prepare winter uniforms and supplies for the soldiers on the Eastern Front and prepare for the winter war."August said solemnly, staring at the map.

The Soviet army will definitely not give up after a series of failures, and these few months are the best opportunity to rest. He believes that the Soviet army will definitely take advantage of these months to quickly replenish its troops.

When winter comes, a new war will be launched. After all, the Soviet army relied on winter to defeat the German army in the previous few times, and this time August will never let the Soviet army succeed.

But before that, August's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind, and he immediately said:"Let's revive the economy first."

Although relying on highways has solved the unemployment rate and quickly improved the emergency, this is only a short-term solution that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, not a long-term solution.

Failure to solve the problem of economic development will be a fatal blow to August.

Overall, Country D is still a country with relatively poor natural resources, and industrial raw materials and energy mainly rely on imports.

In particular, mineral resources are highly dependent on imports. Although it has a lot of iron ore and oil, it cannot be self-sufficient, let alone export.

However, the only thing that can make August feel at ease is that natural gas can be self-sufficient, and the coal mines it owns are very rich and can be exported.

In addition, there are a large amount of timber, which can not only meet domestic demand, but also be sold in large quantities to other countries.

Finally, there is highly developed industrial production. It is in this aspect that Country D can have a strong economy. Otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago relying on those alone.

Therefore, the only way to make the empire's economy recover faster at the moment is to stimulate industrial development. Once the industry develops rapidly, the economy will be stimulated.

"Let's start with industry, not agriculture."August said to himself,"But don't worry too much about agriculture for now. With the current yield of new seeds, I believe that food production will only increase, not decrease."

"However, the next step is to promote the new seeds to Poland and Ukraine, two major grain warehouses.

These two places are traditional places for growing grain, so August decided to promote the new seeds on a large scale here in the next step.

"In terms of industry, we should start with materials. After all, the materials needed for those new weapons cannot be produced in this era. Only by improving the materials can we produce more advanced weapons."August murmured.

War is a catalyst. Especially after August got so many samples, the overall strength of the German army has been greatly improved, especially the laboratories of major military factories, which have produced a lot of new materials.

Especially the first generation of composite armor, which has made breakthroughs in related technologies. I believe it will not be long before it can be used on new tanks. Once equipped with new composite armor, the overall defense of the tank will be greatly improved.

This is the benefit brought by material breakthroughs. The gap between many new weapons and the current level is not very large, but why is the quality not good? It's because of the materials.

For example, a Panther equipped with composite armor will definitely beat the old Panther to the ground, because the new Panther can withstand it. The old Panther can fire, but the old Panther cannot.

Not only that, the breakthrough of composite armor has also brought about a breakthrough in the armor of the ship industry. When the new armor is used on warships, the defense of the new warships will also be greatly improved.

Under the same performance, warships are more resistant to beatings, and battleships are more reckless.

Whoever is scared first will lose.

Anyway, rush forward and bombard fiercely.

Either the enemy will be sunk, or he will be sunk.

Ding had this mentality, so when manufacturing new battleships, August also passed this idea to the naval arsenal.

At this time, the staff officer Ziming hurried in, holding a telegram in his hand and said loudly:"Your Majesty, the M army has assembled a large number of warships and is preparing to land in Sicily.

"

Hearing this, August was stunned at first, and then said lightly:"Everything that should come has come."

August was not too surprised by the Allied landing in Sicily. On the contrary, he would have found it strange if they had not landed.

After all, the importance of Sicily is beyond words. Fortunately, August had made preparations and said with a smile,"Don't worry. Sicily has deployed so many troops and hundreds of fighter planes. Now that they are invading, it's just the right time to give them a hard blow and teach them a lesson.""

"Your Majesty, should we increase the number of air forces in Italy and other places?" Field Marshal Keitel suggested.

"It depends on the situation and their subsequent actions. The Air Force will still focus on the Eastern Front, after all, that is the most important."August responded

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Marshal Keitel replied respectfully

"Go and prepare. Perhaps Marshal Rommel needs support. We can transfer two more mountain divisions to him. August thought for a moment and said again.

""Yes!"

August waved his hand to signal them to leave without saying anything. Field Marshal Keitel also left quickly and immediately dispatched two mountain troops that had already been trained according to August's order.

At the same time, Air Marshal Catherine also dispatched a fleet of 500 fighter planes, which would immediately support the front line if it could not be stopped.

On the other side, at Eisenhower's headquarters, a group of generals were gathering here.

"Commander, our air force has assembled and is ready to bomb Sicily at any time. The chief of staff was the first to report to Eisenhower.

Hearing this, Eisenhower nodded, and a smile finally appeared on his face after a long period of gloom:"Very good, order, our 1st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division to prepare for airborne landing in Sicily, and the air force will escort them at any time."

"At the same time, the army was ordered to board the ship immediately and prepare for landing operations."

"The army is already on its way to Sicily and will arrive there soon. It will be ready to cooperate with our airborne troops for landing operations at any time. As soon as the voice fell, the chief of staff immediately said

"Yes, it seems that the army is very determined this time. Is it for revenge?" Eisenhower said with satisfaction.

"Yes, the morale of the army is very high, and their commanders have all signed a military order that they will not return alive if they fail to capture Sicily."The chief of staff said loudly

"Very good, this time we will definitely be able to take Sicily." Eisenhower said with high spirits. This time he concentrated two airborne divisions, five infantry divisions, and thousands of fighter planes.

In addition, there were four aircraft carriers, six battleships, and more than a hundred other frigates. With such a large force, the German army on the island would definitely not be able to hold on.

"Have you found out the garrison troops on the island?" Eisenhower suddenly asked.

"We have found out that there are three German divisions and two Italian divisions in total." The chief of staff reported quickly.

Hearing this, Eisenhower nodded, turned to look at the intelligence officer, and asked:"Is the intelligence accurate this time?"

"Please rest assured, Commander, this is absolutely accurate. This is sent back by the intelligence personnel on the island."The officer in charge of intelligence reported loudly.

Due to the previous intelligence errors, he was very uneasy. This time, many elite agents were sacrificed for the accuracy of intelligence.

Eisenhower was much more relaxed now. If the intelligence was accurate, then this battle would definitely be won.

At this time, the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division had begun to board planes one after another under the cover of night, heading for the sky over Sicily to prepare for airborne operations.

A large number of C-47 transport planes were flying slowly, and around them were a large number of escort fighters.

For this airborne operation, Eisenhower concentrated a thousand Five hundred C-47 transport planes, five hundred gliders, and two thousand escort fighters, the scene was huge and spectacular.

This is the foundation of the United States. Not long ago, three thousand fighter planes were lost, but in less than a month, they were replenished, and the number was even greater than before.

Especially in the navy, there are more than ten main aircraft carriers, not to mention the escort aircraft carriers converted from tankers, which are even more numerous.

The 82nd Airborne Division, formerly the 82nd Infantry Division, is currently commanded by Ridgway, a future famous airborne general. At this time, Eisenhower is commanding the first large-scale night airborne operation since the division was established......., the division has a total of three regiments, namely the 504th, 505th, and 508th regiments. Historically, only one 505th Airborne Regiment was dispatched, and there were only more than 100 C-47 transport planes.

However, this time the variables are very large. Due to the importance of Sicily, August concentrated five divisions, two of which were Italian divisions. The combat effectiveness was also good. They were all composed of the backbone of the Blackshirt Army and their fighting will was absolutely strong.

Therefore, in order to win steadily and be foolproof, Eisenhower not only required the British 1st Airborne Division and the 82nd Airborne Division to attack, but also hit a batch of gliders, the purpose of which was to transport heavy weapons.

Fortunately, the 82nd Airborne Division at this time cannot be compared with the later generations. After all, the 82nd Airborne Division in later generations is the ace of aces, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

At this time, the commander of the 82nd Division, Ridgway, was in the command cabin, listening to the ground news constantly sent back by the captain.

"I hope the German fighter planes won't show up, and I hope the parachute landing will go smoothly."The captain muttered in a mysterious way.

After all, the German fighter planes had caused them a lot of impact not long ago, so the closer they got to Sicily, the more uneasy and restless these captains became.

Hearing this, Li Qiwei frowned and wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the performance gap between the two sides' fighter planes was too big, and it was impossible to defeat the enemy with just passion.

"Don't worry, our new jet planes will arrive soon, and then we can fight the Germans head-on."Ridgway comforted

"Well, we must make them beat up those German bastards." The transport captain said viciously.

With his words, the originally dull atmosphere in the cabin instantly became lively, and many people began to laugh and joke. Of course, some people prayed silently.

"Hey, brother, why are you eating so fast? Slow down, you'll be hungry when the battle comes."

"Humph, if you don't eat now, how can you have the strength to fight later? And when you are fighting, you don't know if you can have the next meal."

The paratrooper who was teasing him before fell silent after hearing this. It's true. Once the battle starts, you may not have the next meal.

"So, you have to eat quickly now, otherwise you won't have anything to eat later."

Hearing this, many paratroopers took out their food silently and ate the compressed biscuits.

Other paratroopers smiled happily and said,"What do you think, will the airborne landing be very smooth?"

"As soon as we landed, the enemies on the ground were frightened and surrendered immediately"

"Hahaha, maybe. Those timid enemies will surely be scared into surrendering."

""That's right, but Tony, why do I feel like you're scared?" a paratrooper asked in surprise.

"Yeah! It's a bit scary indeed."Tony nodded in response.

"Don't be afraid, we will definitely succeed." The companion encouraged.

Someone next to him said frankly:"In fact, I am also a little scared, but with so many people and so many fighters escorting us, I think it should be fine. Even if there are enemy fighters in Sicily, we will be able to defeat them with so many planes and protect us to a safe place."

"I hope so. I don't know why I'm so worried and scared."

"Hey, brother, what are you afraid of? We have deployed so many land, sea and air forces this time. As long as 0.2% of the enemy dares to fight back, we will definitely destroy them. It's as easy as stepping on an ant. It's not difficult at all."

A paratrooper said disdainfully.

"Yes, you are right. Those German soldiers are like stray dogs. We have crushed them all from North Africa to here. There is no need to be afraid. Moreover, we are conducting a night attack, a surprise attack when they are most relaxed, so there is no need to be afraid of the enemy. Later, we will just kill them. As long as we occupy the beachhead,���I believe the landing troops will cover us."

The paratrooper lieutenant who had been silent interrupted confidently.

Hearing this, many paratroopers took on the confidence:"What the commander said is right. There is nothing to be afraid of the enemy. We just need to beat them to death. They must be very afraid of us. I shot and killed five enemies in North Africa.

Hahahaha, I also killed more than a dozen."

"Are you bragging? You can kill more than a dozen people?"

At this time, many paratroopers joined the topic. The few people who spoke before suddenly showed a bitter smile, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Especially, hearing the not-so-good people mocking the German and Italian armies, they felt helpless. They had no idea how terrifying the German army was.

At this moment, the captain's voice came to their ears:"Arrived above the destination, prepare to parachute."

After the order to prepare for parachuting was given, the navigators stood up and began to prepare:"Don't look down, raise your heads and look at the sky, God is with you, listen to my orders, check your equipment"

"Check number one completed"

"Check number two completed"

"Check number three completed"

"Check No. 4……"

"Number Five…………"

The equipment they need to check includes parachute suits, helmets, gloves, paratrooper knives,.45 caliber pistols, compressed biscuits, gas masks and a lot of other things.

It has to be said that the equipment of the US paratroopers is indeed richer, much more than that of the German army, and it can also be seen that the gap in logistics between the two sides.
