Chapter 806: Please rest assured
"It's still more than an hour before dawn, I don't know what has become of the battle on the east and west fronts now?"
While Guderian was speeding up his march to occupy Iran, Chen Yanlong also raised his head slightly and stared at the night sky that was still dark, and muttered to himself in his heart.
But soon his eyes were once again on the German reservists who were training desperately.
Beside him, Alfred Jodl, Chief of Operations of the German High Command, General Zeitzler, Chief of Staff, Goebbels, German Propaganda Minister, Keitel, German Defense Minister, and Paul Hausser, Commander-in-Chief of the Reserve, also stood quietly, inspecting the barracks set up by all the reserve units outside Berlin, training desperately.
"Everything will be fine, Führer!"
Hearing Chen Yanlong's whispering voice, German Propaganda Minister Goebbels couldn't help but interject softly.
"I hope so!"
"That's right! General Hausser, when will all these reserve rifles be reloaded with STG44 assault rifles, or the AK-47 assault rifles that I recommend? ”
After hearing this, Chen Yanlong glanced at Goebbels with grateful eyes, and immediately asked Paul Hausser.
"Hmmm! Many of these recruits have already completed their initial assault rifle training, and now they just have to wait for Minister Speer's assault rifle to be issued! ”
Paul Hauser replied truthfully.
"Good! I will ask him to start issuing assault rifles to all soldiers of the Berlin garrison army tomorrow, whether it is a stg44 assault rifle or an AK-47 assault rifle, they must be reequipped immediately, and if the number is not enough, the two assault rifles will be used together! ”
Chen Yanlong was silent for a moment and said decisively.
"Then except for assault rifles, I don't know when all the other weapons and equipment will be in place? Monarch! ”
As soon as the words ended, Paul Hausser continued to ask.
"I'm urging Speer! Because the weapons and equipment used by these reserve troops are not as new as those of the front-line troops, and the new weapons and equipment we have developed and produced are now facing a shortage of raw materials, there is no way to continue to produce them in large quantities! ”
"This is also the thing that worries and worries me the most right now, so I won't hide it and say it in advance!"
"That is to say, the strength of the combat effectiveness of these reserve troops will still need to rely on you generals to assist in training in the future, especially General Hausser and Chief of Staff General Zeitzler!"
"Can you give me the guarantee that these recruits will be trained to become heroic Imperial warriors without the large amount of new weapons and equipment that you have acquired? Can we contribute to the strong rise of our Germany? ”
Regarding Paul Hausser's question, Chen Yanlong stared at the other party intently and said seriously.
And Paul Hausser also did not shy away from Chen Yanlong's eyes, and remained silent.
"Yes! Please rest assured! ”
"Even if I don't have those advanced weapons and equipment, I can train all these recruits in front of me to become excellent German officers and soldiers!"
"Although the excellent performance of weapons and equipment is very important, an invincible army does not rely only on weapons and equipment, they also need the will to fight and flexible combat ability!"
"And the spirit of fearless hard work, and the spirit of defending the family and the country!"
It was a long time before Paul Hausser replied slowly.
"Well said! Then the Berlin garrison will be fully handed over to you for training and commanding operations! ”
Chen Yanlong nodded with satisfaction and smiled.
"Although I have no way to give, or promise that the Berlin garrison army you lead can get new weapons and equipment like the front line, the weapons and equipment they are about to use will definitely not lose much to the British and American troops, and even a little more advanced than them!"
Chen Yanlong's eyes froze, and he replied with a serious face.
"Thank you, Führer!"
After listening, Paul Hausser was grateful.
Then the eyes of the two of them fell together on the officers and soldiers of the Berlin garrison army, who were still desperately conducting drills, and watched for a long time, silent.
