On the morning of November 10, German military E Army Group Commander General Rundstedt arrived at the Port of Kuwait gate. Today is the day when the vanguard of 21st Army Corps arrives. General Rundstedt, this Army Group Commander, of course wants to see his own troops. As the only general who is not appointed by Army Group Commander as Army Group Commander, General Rundstedt is also under great pressure.
General Rundstedt hopes that his command can observe the troops below without reservation, which requires the full cooperation of those Army Group Commander. Therefore, he hopes to have a good relationship with these Army Group Commanders.
Soon after General Rundstedt arrived, Kingdom of Kuwait Emir Ahmed Jaber Al Sabah rushed to the port.
As the monarch of the German Protectorate, Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah seemed very humble. After all, the monarch of a small country like Kuwait undoubtedly has nothing to be arrogant in front of the senior generals of the German army. Although, Kuwait has developed rapidly and become very wealthy in recent years due to oil exploration. But in front of the German generals, this was nothing.
"Your Excellency Commander, I learned that Empire's powerful army will arrive today. I took the liberty to come here and want to see the majesty of the Imperial Army. Will you not disturb me?" Ahmed Jaber Sabah had a smile on his face.
"Emir Your Majesty, welcome! Thank you Kingdom of Kuwait for your preliminary preparations." General Rundstedt said.
Before German 21st Army Corps and 22nd Army Corps arrived, Kingdom of Kuwait was ready. They prepared a large enough military camp to allow German military to adapt to the climate and environment here in Kuwait before heading to the front line. However, due to the emergency of the war, German military could not stay in Kuwait for long, and had to rush to the front line after taking a short rest. But even so, Kingdom of Kuwait will prepare a lot of supplies and pay a lot of money.
But even so, Ahmed Jaber Sabah had a smile on his face and did not feel that he had suffered any loss. In his opinion, money and the like are not important. Holding Germany's thigh tightly is the most important thing. In that case, they can maintain their throne and gain more benefits.
It was previously known that Buru Caucasian Front Army was attacking fiercely southward. Neither Turks nor the Iranians could resist it. When they suffered heavy losses, the Kuwait people were also very worried. They were afraid that Buru would fight until Kuwait came. In that case, they would be miserable. It was not easy for them to live the wealthy life they have now. If Russians calls, they will lose everything. Now, before Russians called, Germany people came first, and their crisis was finally resolved.
At nine o'clock in the morning, a huge transport ship sailed into the port.
When the gangway was lowered, the officers and soldiers of German 21st Army Corps 211th Mechanized Infantry Division lined up neatly and walked down the gangway. At the same time, the port's lifting equipment began to hoist tanks and armored vehicles.
The powerful tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the good spirit of the German soldiers, left a very deep impression on the monarch and senior officials of the Kingdom of Kuwait present. They believed that with such a powerful German army, the Russians would be defeated and would not be able to reach Kuwait.
Also arriving at the same time was Lieutenant General German 21st Army Corps Commander Kurt von Hammerstein Equord.
"Your Excellency Commander, 21st Army Corps is reporting to you!" Lieutenant General Equord saluted General Rundstedt.
"Lieutenant General Equord, thank you for your hard work!" General Rundstedt returned the greeting.
"This is Kuwait Emir Your Majesty." General Rundstedt introduced.
"Emir Your Majesty, hello!"
"Hello, General Equord, I'm glad to see you. If you and your army can arrive, then our safety will be guaranteed." Ahmed Jaber Sabah's face was full of smiles.
After some pleasantries, Lieutenant General General Rundstedt and Equord took a car to the military camp.
"General Equord, when will all the follow-up troops of 21st Army Corps arrive?" General Rundstedt asked.
"Your Excellency Commander, the follow-up troops of 21st Army Corps will arrive one after another today and tomorrow. However, there are more than 200,000 people in total. Even if Port of Kuwait has complete facilities, it will take a lot of time to disembark them all. It is estimated that it will not be until the 13th or 14th that all of them can disembark." Lieutenant General Equord said.
General Rundstedt nodded. It will take a lot of time for a huge army to land. This is still the case with complete port facilities. It takes too much time to hoist those heavy weapons of German military off the ship.
"22nd Army Corps will arrive the day after tomorrow. Calculated this way, if both armies want to disembark, I'm afraid they will have to wait until the 16th or 7th." General Rundstedt said.
"Your Excellency Commander, is the battle situation on the front line very dangerous?" Lieutenant General Equord asked.
"The Russian army is still attacking fiercely. However, under our air strikes and Iraqi Army's blockage, the progress is not fast. If we want to hit Baghdad, it will take some time. However, in order to ensure the safety of these oil fields in the south, we cannot let Russians hit Baghdad!" General Rundstedt said.
Lieutenant General Equord nodded.
"Your Excellency Commander, 21st Armored Division and 211th Mechanized Infantry Division, as well as other troops who arrived first, can take a short rest after disembarking and head to the front line. In this way, even if the situation on the front line is critical, we can contain it." Lieutenant General Equord said.
German 21st Army Corps still has one Armored Division and two Mechanized Infantry Division. The remaining eight divisions are also highly motorized. This made them very fast when they were marching. It only takes two days to get from Kuwait City to Baghdad.
"Well, let's do that!" General Rundstedt said.
He also believed that if one Armored Division and two Mechanized Infantry Division rushed to the front line, they would be enough to contain the Russian attack.
47th Army Corps and 51st Army Corps under the Russian army Caucasian Front Army have suffered considerable losses after fighting all the way to the north of Iraq. One Armored Division and two Mechanized Infantry Division from German military can defeat them head-on.
"However, our actions must be accelerated. In this case, the Russian army can be eliminated before they escape to the north of the Zagros Mountains. Otherwise, the terrain in northern Iran will limit the combat effectiveness of our Armored Forces!" General Rundstedt is already thinking of counterattack and will eat up the two Russian armies.
