Antwerp Airport Command, Shire sat at his desk enjoying his afternoon tea while reading documents. He was quite satisfied with the current state of the equipment.
In just over a month, every squad in the armored and mechanized units was equipped with a shotgun.
Submachine guns were temporarily only equipped for the armored units due to insufficient production.
Tijani protested: "The mechanized units are the ones really fighting the enemy infantry. Why are the submachine guns first equipped for the armored units?"
Shire's response was simple: "If you are willing to charge at the forefront, I'll have them swap the submachine guns with you right away."
Tijani fell silent immediately.
The armored units are the ones at the forefront tearing through the enemy's defenses, so they must be prioritized for new weapons, especially since infantry need to enter trenches for close combat.
Tijani knew this logic; he just wanted to see if he could gain some advantage.
