After a moment of silence, Trode and Hans realized the mistake they had made by overheating their minds - not everyone had no family, no worries, no worries, no more than they could, and when circumstances turned out to be like that, it would only make their choice very awkward.

And for tank soldiers, no, for all arms, survival is still the first priority in the vast majority of cases, and without life, everything is impossible. If death really replaces retreat as the first option in the event of defeat, it is indeed a very terrible thing, both for the enemy and for oneself

As Schneider spoke, he pushed a small box from the other side of the table to Trowder's eyes: "Lieutenant Troll, in view of your recent outstanding performance, your superiors have decided to award you this Iron Cross of the First Class. ”

Trode opened the box, and a delicate medal appeared in front of his eyes, it looked very familiar, because it was not much different from the Iron Cross of the Second Class that Trode had received in the first place. The difference between the two is mainly in the way of wearing, the second level is worn with a ribbon, while the first level is worn with a brooch, which is worn in the middle of the left breast pocket.

Looking at Trode, who was already staring at the medal, Schneider coughed dryly twice and pulled Trode out of his sweet dream.

Schneider stood in front of the window, looked out the window and said as if talking to himself: "After this battle, the French army should not make any more big moves for a while." ”

Trood secretly called out to the old fox, saying that this was definitely the point of this meeting. Although they had predicted this before, they had destroyed Trode's prestige before that, and then gave benefits to appease them, and finally showed the fox's tail. In this case, this errand Tlord really had to take it.

He said slowly: "During this time, the advancing troops at Tunisia also had to make considerable progress, and their breakthrough caused the British forces to be cut in two, most of them retreating in the direction of Libya, while a small part came to look for their French reinforcements. This puts us under pressure a bit. ”

"So where do you want us to fill the void, Lieutenant General?" As soon as Trood waited for Schneider to finish speaking, he had already gone straight to the point, in fact, in his heart, he had already accepted this dispatch.

"Haha, the enthusiasm of young people recently is really immeasurable!" Schneider sighed, as if to say that he was old.

"Wade. That's where you're going. Schneider turned to Trode: "The terrain of Walder is relatively harsh, so there are not many enemy troops there. But "

Schneider and Trode glanced at each other, confirmed the firmness in the latter's eyes, and said, "There are quite a lot of armored troops there, and your task is to destroy as many British and French troops as possible around it on the premise of holding Wade, and if necessary, expand the territory." ”

"Lieutenant General, this is not an easy job, with our existing equipment is not enough." It was Vincent who spoke, with a sunny but chilly smile on his face.

Schneider seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and immediately replied, "Of course, your equipment will be replaced with new ones." The two III assault guns in your squad will be replaced with the new IV assault guns. ”

"Assault gun IV?!" This sentence almost drooled Hans's greedy saliva down.

However, Vincent was unmoved, but still replied with that smile: "This condition is not very good, after all, we are going to carry out a special anti-tank mission, but we are carrying an assault gun, this weapon is a bit wrong." ”

After speaking, Vincent gave Hans a look, and Hans was a little surprised that Vincent actually bargained with the lieutenant general in this regard, but the second look of Vincent immediately afterwards made Hans grit his teeth and whispered: "And the cowardly, support the bold!" ”

Schneider rubbed his chin and thought, "Oh? That's true, so for the sake of me and Lieutenant Trode, would it be good to change you to the IV tank destroyer? That's tempting enough. ”

Before he finished speaking, Hans appeared as stupid as he had just now, and Vincent kicked Hans under the table with his foot, and the latter shook before reacting, pretending to be calm: "When we were still fighting in Tunisia, the British army was already equipped with the perverted 'Churchill' I infantry tank, as well as the 'Matilda' II infantry tank, and the 'Crusader' cruiser tank were not a small threat to us."

"Let's be honest, what more do you want? I try my best to be satisfied with what I can. Schneider had already understood what Hans meant, and interrupted him.

"Replace all of the F2 Medium Tanks IV in our squad with the new Medium Tank IV and G Medium Tanks." Hans said this in one breath, and his heart was almost beating to his throat at the moment, and he even wondered if it had come from his own mouth. But he glanced to the side and saw Vincent giving him a thumbs up in the corner of the table.

Schneider was clenching his fists and thinking, but Vincent spoke: "Lieutenant General, doesn't a good weapon have to be given to a good soldier to show his strength?" ”

After hearing this, Schneider shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that when I decided to talk to the three of you alone, I had already lost this 'battle'."

Hearing this, Hans and Trode jumped up with joy, and Vincent also breathed a sigh of relief.

Schneider called the adjutant in, then whispered a few words, and as he said the middle, the adjutant looked at Trode and them with a puzzled expression. And in the end, the adjutant also said helplessly: "You are still so willful"

Schneider simply replied: "After all, Germany will still count on these young people in the future, and it is no fun to go to the front line with an old antique like me, but I can take advantage of the fact that this little power in my hand is still there, and create more opportunities for them!" ”

The adjutant stood in front of the door, and then said politely: "Now please come with me, there are some changes to the procedures for sending you." "This change undoubtedly refers to the new equipment they have obtained, which can be regarded as the 'trophy' of this war of words.

Schneider stood up, saluted Trode and the others with a standard military salute and said, "The deal is done, then"

"Wade will leave it to us with confidence!" Trode replied confidently and loudly, then straightened up and returned a more standard military salute
