"Ah! By the way, the Head of State just sent you a telegram saying that he has now gone to Xixi to review the armed SS troops, so he asked you to set off to Sicily as soon as possible for appointment! The Head of State wants you to build a large-scale defensive position in Sicily as soon as possible to fight the landing operations of British and American troops!"

Margaret Gerner suddenly remembered.

"Well! I get it, I'll take the train to Sicily right away!"

Goodrian was excited, then quickly calmed down and said.

"But the head of state has equipped you with an aircraft, an Arrado Ar232 transport aircraft, and also assigned you a batch of Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter jets as escort!"

Margaret Gerner added.

"Oh...First of the People! I value me so much this time?"

Upon hearing this, Guderian said in surprise.

"Then you do it well and don't let the head of state down!"

Margaret Gerner encouraged.

"I will! This is a great opportunity for me to stand out, and the difficult head of state attaches importance to me so much!"

Goodrian nodded and agreed.

"But is it really good that you treated Rommel like this just now? Why do you both think of friends? I'm still a little worried that your embarrassment and words will destroy your relationship!"

Margaret Gerner worried again.

"No! It's okay! It's not the first time we have a quarrel like this, he will understand me! And I have had a quarrel with the head of state, so it's normal to have a quarrel with him. We all just want to win battles for the country and people!"

Goodrian touched his nose awkwardly and said embarrassedly.

"You really make me speechless! You are both very old and are officers in important positions! Why are you still noisy like children? When you see them, you really ruin your usual image!"

Margaret Gerner shook his head helplessly and said.

"Well, I understand! When I arrive in Sicily, I will call Rommel to apologize!"

Goodrian blushed and said softly to his wife.

"That's right. Why do you all say that you are old friends? There is no need to have a fight like this! But by the way, you really can't have a battlefield exchange with Rommel? Let him fulfill his wish?"

Margaret Gerner asked suddenly.

"Actually, I'm not unwilling to do it. It's just that the Head of State must have me fight this Sicily battle, because Rommel has more important arrangements and has to leave it to him to complete it! So I didn't agree to his request just now, because it was useless for me to agree to him. Everything depends on the Head of State's decision!"

"So that's it, okay! I still won't interfere with your affairs, but I hope you must get along well as before; and as a general, should you be calmer and not always reveal your true feelings like a child?"

Margaret Gerner reminded him with a dissatisfied attitude.

"Okay! It's all for you!"

Goodrian blinked happily like a child, then smiled.

"This is my favorite Goodrian!"

Margaret Gerner also said happily, smiling.

Then, with the help of Margaret Gerner, Guderian packed some of his clothes; he went to the transport aircraft and fighter fleet prepared for him by Chen Yanlong and prepared to take off for Sicily.

As for Rommel, who had just left, he was still a little angry and came to the nearby park to take a walk.

"This Goodrian is so stingy! Why didn't I let you take a step!"

Rommel cursed unhappily while walking.

"Godrien! Guderian! Don't lose the Sicily Battle! Or I'm really angry with you!"

"No! I still have to call him after a while and discuss with him how to fight the Sicily battle! Even if I can't command this battle myself, I have to discuss a good way of fighting with him! Sicily cannot be thrown away, otherwise Italy and our Germany will be in danger."

"And I can't let Montgomery have a good time, and I'll have to pay Montgomery and his troops for my capable subordinates and soldiers who died in Africa!"

But soon, Rommel changed his mind and muttered to himself.

Then he hurried home, prepared his luggage, and prepared to lead his troops to Italy.

But before leaving, he still called Goodrian.

But at this time, Guderian had already boarded the transport plane and headed towards Sicily.

But Goodrian's wife, Margaret Gerner, replied to Rommel with kind words and said that she would definitely ask Goodrian to call him.

In response to this, Rommel also said thank you politely and then hung up the line.

"This guy is leaving so fast. It seems that I can only discuss the battle of Sicily with him after I arrive in Italy!"

After hanging up the phone, Rommel sighed softly and muttered to himself.

At this time, in Sicily, 50,000 armed SSs, including the Fifth "Viking" Armored Division of the SS and the First "Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team", were already gathering in their temporary barracks on the Sicily island.

Moreover, after a little personnel replenishment, their troops have reached more than 65,000.

Their respective division commanders assigned them the AKM assault rifles that had just been airborne under their command.

"Hey! Witt! What kind of assault rifles do you think are from these? It seems to be a little different from the StG44 assault rifles we usually use!"

"I hope it has better performance! Because I like the StG44 assault rifle's fierce firepower with submachine guns, and its recoil is small and easy to master when firing continuously. It can also have a range of 400 meters, better accuracy, and its power is close to ordinary rifles, and its weight is relatively light, making it easier for us to use in marching."

"Hehe! I think so too. If these new assault rifles are not as powerful as the StG44 assault rifles we used, then I will apply to the regiment commander to use the original 44 assault rifle!"

"I think so too! In actual combat, we can easily suppress a squad of US soldiers holding M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles using the StG44 assault rifles, and a larger number of Soviet soldiers using the Poposa submachine gun."

"I hope this new assault rifle won't be bad!"

"It's useless to guess. You'll know if you try to shoot later? But I believe this assault rifle shouldn't be too bad, because the head of state ordered us to equip us! We are his favorite elite troops, so I believe that the weapons and equipment we use are the best in the country!"

"Yes! Bovez is right! The Head of State will definitely not treat our SS badly!"
