"Remember your promise, I will apply to the Führer for a large number of laborers for you, so don't let the Führer down!"

"Especially now that the front-line battlefield is in great need of a large number of new weapons and equipment to fight against the British, American and Soviet armies!"

"For the sake of the victory of the empire and the safety of the people of the empire, as well as the wise command of the Führer, we, as a production logistic, must ensure the supply of weapons and equipment to the troops!"

After a long time, Speer also said immediately.

Subsequently, under Speer's consultation, they continued to discuss the production indicators and production conditions of various weapons and equipment production plants.

November 28, 1943, Eastern Front.

In the clearer winter weather, the cold winter wind is less, the snowflakes have stopped, and the whole sky is rarely blue, and the flight vision is also very good.

For this reason, one after another, accompanied by escort fighter groups, German bombers soared in the cloudless sky without being affected by any bad weather.

However, the German bomber group and escort fighter group that appeared on the battlefield on the Eastern Front at this moment were not the old HE---111 and DO-17, and the JU-52 Junkers aunt, or the backward ME-109 fighters.

In their place were the Il-28 bomber, and the C-5 transport, the B-52 bomber, and the C-47 transport (i.e., the C-53 transport), these new bombers and transport aircraft, assisted by the F-86 Sabre and MiG-21 fighters, provided the Manstein and Moder units with cargo military supplies, transportation of weapons and equipment, and replenishment of troops.

These planes, loaded with a large number of various cargoes and weapons and equipment, flew brazenly over the Eastern Front and airdropped to the German defensive positions for resupply missions.

"Hey! It was our aviation and transport units that came, and our military supplies came! ”

"They arrived early!"

"And it's the latest bombers, and fighters! I really envy those air forces for being able to use such advanced weapons and equipment, but it's a pity that I'm not a talent for the Air Force, otherwise I must be the Air Force and not the Army! ”

"Tsk! What's so good about the Air Force? The weapons and equipment used by our army now are not very bad, at least much better than those of the Soviet troops! ”

"You're right, but recently I heard Marshal Manstein say that there is also a shortage of manufacturing materials for our new weapons and equipment, and the current supply is not as much as before, so now we are replacing some of the worse ones!"

"No, it won't! If this is the case, won't our future battles be as easy and tough as they are now? ”

"You idiot! Could it be that if you change some weapons and equipment a little bit, you will not be able to fight, you will not be able to defeat those Soviet troops? If you are so useless, you will be a disgrace to our German Empire! ”

When these new air forces and transport forces appeared over the Manstein line, many German officers and men were cheerfully pointing their fingers.

But then they were talking about the new weapons and equipment that were gradually decreasing, and the discussion became more and more intense.

"Marshal! Shall we stop the discussion of these officers and soldiers? In this case, it does not seem to be a good thing for our military morale! ”

While watching more and more officers and soldiers discussing the shortage of new weapons and equipment, Oddors, the combat staff officer, was deeply dissatisfied and suggested to Manstein, who was personally patrolling the front line.

"No, you don't! If they really have no combat effectiveness because the Führer has changed their weapons and equipment, then these useless officers and soldiers will be sent to the front line to be cannon fodder, or they will be sent to the rear to retire! ”

"My troops don't need to be ruined, especially those who can only win battles with new weapons and equipment!"

Manstein, however, had sharp eyes, staring at the every move of the officers and soldiers who were talking.

"You go first and let them collect all the military supplies and weapons and equipment that the Führer has managed to transport!"

"Whoever fails to complete the task will be punished militarily!"

Then, before the operational staff officer Eudos could reply, Manstein continued.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and went to other places to inspect the battle situation on the front line and see what still needed to be repaired and adjusted.

Seeing this, the combat staff officer Eudos also immediately acted according to his orders.

Because this moment was the time of a short truce between the German and Soviet armies, he had to quickly recover all the airborne weapons, equipment and materials, otherwise once the battle broke out again, it would be easy to be bombed by the Soviet army.
