At noon the next day, Chen Yanlong was sitting in the living room in his villa, and he was secretly calculating how much troops and how much money he would invest in the upcoming Sicily Battle.

Beside him was the female secretary Orlando Nier standing respectfully. This time Chen Yanlong called her to Sicily.

Because Chen Yanlong had to deal with too many business matters recently, he was too busy for a while and needed help from others, so he called the female secretary Orlando Nier to come over to help with some less important matters and reduce his work;

Why do he attach so much importance to these things? Because in war, not only does he have to fight the number of troops and horses, but also his weapons and equipment, but also money and food.

Because whoever has more wealth will be able to recruit more elite troops and invest in and develop more new weapons and equipment.

And if anyone has enough food, they will not worry about starving to death on the battlefield.

Just as Sun Tzu said that before the troops move, food and grass will come first; only a hundred thousand troops can operate if they spend a day a day.

Therefore, before a war is started, especially a large-scale war of attrition; as the head of a country, one must first consider issues such as comparing with the enemy's strength, the odds of winning, and the consequences of defeat.

Because he also had to think about the military budget, resource guarantee, and the equipment of military supplies such as food before sending troops.

Why do this? Because war is for profit, but if a war lasts too long and consumes too much, then the war is a loss-making war.

Moreover, the longer the war is fought at a loss, the longer the country's national strength, wealth and people's property will be dragged down by it.

In addition, when their national strength is empty, soldiers are exhausted and morale is lost, they will be taken advantage of by the powers, launch an army to attack, and fall into the crisis of land fall.

Therefore, a war not only requires sufficient food and wealth, but also needs to be fought quickly and quickly.

These are things that Chen Yanlong understands when he is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and is being learned and applied.

However, in addition to thinking about the above content today, he also wanted to talk to Guderian, Rommel, and Kesselin about the issue of marching, and the topic of what he wanted to build a great power.

When he was thinking deeper, the first person to meet him was Guderian.

Because Guderian and him were both in Sicily, it is easier to meet.

"You're here! Goodrian!"

He and Guderian became more familiar with each other a few days after coming to Sicily, so they were more pleasant and sincere to say hello to each other now.

"Yes! Head of State!"

As soon as he saw Chen Yanlong's bright smile, Guderian responded happily.

"Sit down casually! Rommel and Kesseling are on the way and should be here soon!"

Chen Yanlong smiled slightly.

"Well! They really come too? Hey! The two of them and I didn't really get together to chat, especially last time I scolded Rommel. I wonder if this guy is still angry with me?"

Guderian smiled happily while looking for a place to sit down nervously.

"Yes! There are so many facts of war recently. I haven't had a good chat with you capable generals. As for Rommel, do I want you two to be a peacemaker to resolve your quarrel?"

Chen Yanlong smiled gently while looking at the female secretary Orlando Nier pouring tea for Guderian.

"Thank you, the Head of State! But we can solve the small matters between Rommel and me and me by ourselves. We dare not trouble you, the Head of State!"

Goodrian said with awkward red face.

"Okay! Everything is as you like! Well! By the way! Are the reserve forces of the troops I dispatched to Sicily enough? How about changing weapons and equipment?"

Chen Yanlong ignored the other party's embarrassment, but signaled Orlando Nier to push the poured tea to Goodrian, and then continued to smile.

"The reserve forces are still making adjustments, because now I am only deploying based on the number of attacking forces of the British and American Allied forces you told me."

"As for the replacement of new weapons and equipment in our army, about half of the armed SS have been replaced with AKM assault rifles and Stg44 assault rifles! There are also many Leopard medium tanks and T-54 tanks!"

Goodrian replied.

"Well! Well done! You will do it according to my own two factors of war, time, reserve force, and two of weapons and equipment! Then we will have an extra chance of winning!"

Chen Yanlong said happily.

"But the Head! I don't quite understand why you don't unify our assault rifles, but are divided into two types. This is very unfavorable for the logistics of our troops! If the war is not going well and our logistics cannot supplement the appropriate ammunition, it will affect the combat of our soldiers! So I hope you can consider the type of unified assault rifles! So our logistics can replenish ammunition at a rapid speed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guderian immediately put forward his own different suggestions.

"I will accept your opinion, but now I am looking at these two different types of assault rifles. Our soldiers prefer that one, and that type of combat is more powerful! After our soldiers are finished in actual combat, I will unify the types and caliber of these assault rifles!"

Chen Yanlong explained.

"Well! But we can let them train and use this before the war, so they will know which type is more suitable for them to use in actual combat!"

Guderian continued to propose.

"Your opinion is very good! But I can't provide them with a large number of single type assault rifles now, so let them use two types of assault rifles for the time being! When our assault rifles production increases, just use one type!"

Chen Yanlong smiled bitterly.

"Okay! Then follow the instructions of the Head of State!"

In response to this, Guderian, who is good at observing words and expressions, can only respond helplessly.

"By the way! In addition to the two things you just did, I asked you to issue a military decree to our troops, a murderer, a robbery and a thief to immediately deal with it."

Chen Yanlong suddenly changed the subject.

"Everyone is advising to follow the orders of the head of state and proceed sternly!"

Goodrian nodded seriously.

"Well! Is there anyone who doesn't obey my orders and is illegal?"

Chen Yanlong also asked seriously.

"have!"

Goodrian said embarrassedly again.

"Have you handled it all according to the law?"

Chen Yanlong asked with a sharp look.

"Dispose all of them! Head of State!"

Goodrian responded nervously.

"Well! Well done! Remember what I said to you, discipline and organizational ability are prerequisites for an army to achieve victory! And only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world! Our war on the Eastern Front is because our military discipline is not good, and we have done all the bad things in burning, killing, looting, and thus we have no way to win the hearts of the people, which has put our war on the Eastern Front in a dangerous situation!"
