"Here, whoever touches me will let him die!" Eric slapped his palm hard in the middle of Europe, from Norway in the north to Sweden in the south to the north coast of Africa.

Yarma and Luther have also been following Eric's train of thought, until Eric slapped the ground strongly and covered a large piece of territory and said domineeringly who touches and who dies, the two were startled and clearly felt Eric's domineering.

This domineering is not the kind of bluff, and President Eric, who dared to lead Germany to the brink of extinction in the face of adversity, although young, created countless myths, and the two never doubted his words.

"That's it, don't go to trouble yourself to learn what to do, take here, it's enough for Germany to survive this financial crisis." Eric found a solution, and he felt a lot more relieved.

"I haven't counted how many people there are here, but there's always 200 million, right? Not a lot. Eric's eyes purred, trying to estimate by mental arithmetic.

"This one is okay, but this one has no purchasing power." Yarma refers to the northern part of central Europe, which distinguishes the Ottoman region from North Africa.

"Development, who will send the house to the field and the money as soon as the game starts? You think you're playing a game. "Eric doesn't like to be hit by Yárma.

······

Yarma was depressed by Eric's words, and he didn't object, he just yelled at the president, and now he is still a little weak.

"How? This plan is more reliable than just now, right? The three of Eric never looked back, not even noticing that there was anyone standing behind them.

"I don't think so." The voice Eric was all too familiar and kind.

"Hah, why are you here, Mr. Vice President." Eric then said happily, not at all affected by the blow to Hindenburg.

"It's good that I'm here, or you madman might have come up with some crazy plan." Hindenburg did not hear the argument ahead, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Eric's domineering scene.

Hindenburg was not interested in the financial crisis or anything, and although the expansion of the German Confederation was in the first place, it was not as rampant as Eric, and he almost finished filming Europe with a slap, as if he was mocking all the predecessors of Germany...

"What are you discussing, the War Department people in the hall are going crazy, call me." Hindenburg was urged by Brauchitsch's phone call after call.

"War Department?" Eric was a little strange, could it be that something was going on on the Italian battlefield?

"Yes, Rundstedt has already rushed to Bologna." Hindenburg bypassed the three men and came to the map, pointing to the area around Vergato.

"The Italian army did not know where the anti-tank guns came from, so the 231st Tank Battalion, which had gone to support the 501st Infantry Division, was lost in the battle, and almost all the III tanks were destroyed, and only a dozen IIIC tanks remained. Hoffman had asked Guderian to retreat with the 501st Battalion to the area of Budelio. Hindenburg, with his cigar in his hand, struggled to map the situation on the map with his stout little finger.

"You guys get busy first, let Ananta call the people from the War Department and the Air Force." Eric felt that things were getting bigger, and the interest in continuing the discussion was gone.

It didn't take long for the high-ranking generals of the army and air forces to fill the president's office, and Hindenburg did not leave.

"Can anyone come out and explain what happened to the 501st battalion?" Not to mention how bad Eric's mood is now, the cost of building a tank battalion is incomprehensible, and it is so easily solved, no matter how big Eric is, he can't bear it.

The nominal commander of the 1st Panzer Division was Rundstedt, who was also the supreme commander of the army, and at this time he had rushed to Bologna for the affairs of the 501st Battalion, and the remaining commander was Field Marshal Johannes Friedrich Leopold von Zeckert, who was also the commander-in-chief of Army Group B.

In the Army Command, only the commanders-in-chief of the three former army groups are the commanders-in-chief of the three former army groups, namely, Marshal August von Mackensen, commander-in-chief of Army Group A, Field Marshal Oskar von Huttier, former commander-in-chief of Army Group C, and Field Marshal Paul Emil von Leto Fowlbeck, former commander-in-chief of Army Group D.

Hurthier and Forbeck have both been attached to the Army Command, and they have not held actual positions, these four people are also important power hubs in the military, and Eric does not want to waste their talents, and they cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities in the Wehrmacht in the major reform stage, so they can only retire from the Army Command as deputy ones one by one.

Brauchitsch was the Minister of Defense and could not represent the Army with full powers, so he could only look at Zeckert.

Zekter knew when Rundstedt rushed to Bologna that he had to carry the pot today.

"The Italian army got anti-tank guns out of nowhere, and the 501st Tank Battalion, which was pursuing the remnants of the Italian army, was ambushed, and the armor of Tank III could not block such shells, so..." Zekett felt a little nonsense as he spoke, where can this blame the equipment, it is obviously a command error.

"So he, Guderian, broke the jar and broke it? I thought the III was not easy to use, so you gave it all to me? Eric's gritted teeth made the generals present feel a little weak and afraid.

Eric is a decisive master, and they know a lot about Eric as they belong to the army, and the commander-in-chief of the Albert government army, Schleicher, did not end well, and the generals who opposed Eric's national army were all dealt with by secret capital punishment.

"What about the Guderians? The 501 tank battalion is gone, and he still won't explain it to me? Eric glared at Brauchitsch.

"He was shot in the hand and is being treated." Zechter answers Eric's question.

"What are the overall casualties of the 501st Battalion?" Eric cares about the tankmen, not the scrap metal.

"The casualties were not large, the Italian army was only on the defensive, and the lethality of the anti-tank was not strong, and they all retreated under the cover of some IIIC tanks. The 1st Field Army has already begun a general counterattack, and those wreckage will not fall into the hands of the Italian army. Zeckert was convinced that Germany was still stronger than Italy in overall strength, and that these defeats could not determine the outcome of the war.

"Take off the two stars on Guderian's shoulders, the remaining units of the 502nd Tank Battalion will be under the direct jurisdiction of the 1st Armored Division, and the follow-up equipment tanks, whether it is IIIA, IIIB, or whatever, will be canceled." Eric was both glad and angry, he really wanted to use the German-Italian war to set the tone for Germany in the development of armored forces. There would inevitably be casualties, but he still couldn't accept the cripplement of a tank battalion.

"Brauchitsch, let the Chancellor hold a press conference and condemn the United States for me." Eric could only think of this way to limit further U.S. support to Italy.

"What's the matter with the Air Force?" After Eric finished dealing with the army, he looked at another place where a group of air force generals were standing.

William Keitel was the deputy commander of the Air Force, and was Toth's deputy like Albert Catherine.

Hugo Spayler was still only the director of intelligence of the Air Force Command, and these famous generals were still chickens in need of sharpening.

"Air Force Major General William Keitel." Keitel immediately walked out of the crowd and saluted.

"Say it." Eric can be regarded as seeing through this group of so-called famous generals, who do not experience wind and rain, and do not have enough experience, just like Guderian, who relied on his equipment advantage to succeed for a while, and was finally beaten by famous generals.

"We have summed up the weakness of the air force in response to this failure, and it is not possible to bomb enemy forces when the two sides are engaged in close combat." Keitel's words gave Eric a burst of energy.

This is the concept of close support, which has existed before, but with the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the small units of the Wehrmacht, the call for such close support has begun to dissipate.
