The Defeat of the Axis Powers in 1010

?

Even Americans themselves may not realize that their thoughts are being quietly changed. A year ago, most of what they thought about was how to balance the forces of all parties in Europe, and find ways to kill the damn Soviet Union in its cradle, but now they think about problems in one way-to avoid direct conflict with Germany, and then how to .

Among the high-level people in the United States, there is already an inexplicable shadow in their hearts. They dare not provoke the German Third Reich at will. At least in the field of war, these North American politicians lack the confidence to defeat their opponents. However, they transferred their self-confidence to other aspects, such as the production link. Throughout April, the United States produced more ships equipped with weapons and ammunition than the Germans produced. To a certain extent, this satisfies the fragile vanity of the top US officials. At least when they look at their own production reports, they are still full of illusions about victory.

The efficiency during wars is always amazing. On the fifth day after the high-level U.S. made a decision, General Patton secretly came to Baghdad, then changed cars from there, rushed to Mosul, and formed his army there. frontline headquarters. He disguised himself as an Arab businessman, escaped the monitoring of German spies in the local area, and successfully completed the preparatory work.

After careful preparation by the Allied Forces, the U.S. military’s heavy weapons and equipment on the front line in the Northeast have increased to 100 tanks of various types, of which 20 are new Sherman tanks, 40 old-fashioned m3s and 40 British tanks. Raggedy Matilda.

Although these tank forces are no longer a terrible force in the eyes of the German army on the front, but placed on the Turkish front line, this armored force is about one regiment, which is enough to change the balance of power between the two sides on the entire battlefield. Moreover, the British and American coalition forces also prepared more than 100 armored vehicles and more than 170 terrifying large-caliber artillery.

Such a force is like killing chickens with a sledgehammer for Turkey to be targeted. The reason why the Allied forces have mobilized so many troops is that they are completely afraid of the German infantry division behind the Turks. Although the German army only had 3 infantry divisions deployed in Turkey, and the Allied forces had repeatedly confirmed this fact with spies, Patton still prepared a whole armored regiment and 4 infantry divisions for these German divisions.

At dawn on June 2, at about the same time that the Soviet Red Army lost its last hope of breaking out of the encirclement of Tver, the ready American troops crossed the Turkish defense line and launched a fierce offensive against Turkey, a member of the Axis powers. Unlike the awkwardness they faced against Germany, American and British soldiers played their basic demeanor as world powers.

After more than an hour of fighting, the two divisions deployed on the Turkish border were defeated by the US military. Neither division could escape the pursuit of tanks and armored vehicles. The battle flags became trophies under the lens of American reporters. The U.S. troops in cars drove straight in, and captured the important border town of Gizre after a few hours; the British troops on the other side were not slow, and had already approached Hakkari.

On June 3, just as news of the total German victory at Tver reached the Middle East,

The United States also wiped out 50,000 elites of Turkey in the area south of Batman, winning a real victory in the Middle East War. At the same time, the British captured the important town of Hakkari and began to attack the city of Van.

The whole country of Turkey heard the news of the defeat on the front line, and the ruling and opposition parties were shocked. The Turkish ambassador to Germany immediately asked for a meeting with German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and stated Turkey's hope of asking Germany to send troops for assistance. However, at this time, Germany did not have any extra troops to deploy to help distant Turkey.

After all, it is impossible to withdraw troops from the distant Eastern Front to Turkey; the Atlantic Wall has just had a problem and dare not misappropriate troops; , and dare not move easily-the unanimous idea of ​​Germany is to let Turkey fend for itself.

It's not that Germany doesn't want to help Turkey tide over the difficulties, but that it really mobilized troops to help Turkey win the war. Germany's veritable Ministry of Defense speculated that 100,000 people were needed to repel the US attack, and some generals also felt that at least 40,000 to 50,000 people were needed to stabilize the situation in Turkey.

If these sources of troops are thrown on the Eastern Front, they may immediately get a large area of ​​​​territorial occupation in return, but if they are thrown in Turkey, the Germans will have nothing but to stabilize the two-faced Turkey.

"You also know, Mr. Ambassador. Now the Soviet-German war is entering the most critical moment. At this time, the Third Reich really has no troops. It is going to the far south of Turkey to fight a long-term war of attrition." Ribbent Lopp tactfully rejected the Turkish envoy's request.

In fact, according to Turkey's performance within the Axis powers, it is indeed only worthy of so much sincerity from Germany-in addition to standing up and expressing its position, and using a silent attitude to contain part of the British and American troops, Turkey's support for the Axis Xin Guo's contribution is indeed better than nothing.

"I have to remind you, Mr. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. Turkey's position within the Axis powers is not those of the Third Reich. We are under attack! A fierce attack from a hostile country!" The Turkish envoy looked Looking at Ribbentrop's face, with a hint of annoyed tone, he asked.

Ribbentrop had communicated these matters with the head of state Accador a long time ago. Apart from the three infantry divisions already in Turkey, the Third Reich could only provide some assistance in weapons at most. It's a pity that these weapons only refer to small items such as rifles and ammunition.

"We will mobilize all the German troops already in Turkey to prevent the advance of the Allied forces as much as possible. We will also try our best to provide assistance with Turkish military weapons. I believe your country will also be very interested in this aspect." Ribbent Lopp ignored the Turkish ambassador's anger and threats, and replied calmly.

The Turkish general stared at Ribbentrop with his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and issued a real threat: "This is the answer from the Third Reich to the allies? You are not afraid of hurting the hearts of the allies in the Axis powers!"

"Mr. Ambassador! Please pay attention to your tone when you speak." Ribbentrop sneered, watching the other party's unfriendly retort: ​​"You did not listen to our advice and launched the invasion of Iraq and Syria without authorization. In the end, your military strength was exposed! Do you want to blame the Third Reich for this kind of thing?"

The Turkish ambassador, who knew that such a stalemate would go on without any benefits, finally softened. He sighed helplessly, and began to play the emotional and tragic cards again: "Minister Ribbentrop, Turkey has lost a large area of ​​territory. As the well-deserved leader of the Axis powers, the Third Reich cannot sit idly by." Ignore it! Just 5 divisions! As long as 5 divisions are drawn, we can defeat the Americans and the British and attack the Middle East from the north!"

5 divisions? Almost 100,000 people? You Turkey really dare to open your mouth like a lion! Why don't you say that as long as the J Group Army is sent there, the Americans will definitely be defeated? Ribbentrop cursed in his heart.

He raised his eyebrows and broke out without being on the spot. Because he knew very well in his heart: Will we be able to defeat the Americans and the British? Afraid that we Germans shed blood and sacrificed, you Turks occupy the Middle East to take advantage of it, right?

He understood everything in his heart, but as a diplomat, he still couldn't take down the last fig leaf and tear it up in person. After all, no matter how dirty the back is, everyone still needs some face from each other.

So Ribbentrop spread his hands, and also took out the trump card of crying poor, and fudged the Turkish ambassador: "We really don't have any troops to deploy. If Turkey really needs support urgently, then I suggest you go to Italy. Ask for help, leader Mussolini may have spare troops to support Turkey's war of resistance."

What are you kidding? The Turkish ambassador cursed inwardly: What do I want a group of Italian soldiers for? Surrender us Turkey will too! No need for others to do it for you! Those bastards who have no combat effectiveness, in addition to having to share a lot of food and supplies after they come, can withstand the attack of the Americans. It's really a hell!

Moreover, Turkey and Italy have been competing for the so-called second-in-command position within the Axis countries, and they also have serious differences on the Balkan issue. If it weren't for the big brother of the Third Reich, there might be a war between the two countries... In this case, go to Italy to borrow troops? Didn't you drink expired fake wine?

So the Turkish ambassador stood up, looked at Ribbentrop with a strange expression, turned around and rushed out of the meeting room without even taking his hat. He left without looking back, even ignoring the German waiter yelling reminders behind him.

When he reached the stairs at the end of the corridor and disappeared around the corner, Ribbentrop went back to the meeting room, opened another door, walked through another empty room, and rang the opposite door. door.

After getting the answer, he walked into the room, stood at attention respectfully and saluted, and greeted Akado in front of him: "My head of state! The talks didn't go well. Obviously, the Turkish character of sitting on the fence has begun to cause trouble again."

Akado nodded, put down the document he was reading halfway through, stood up, walked over and patted Ribbentrop on the shoulder, and said: "Some countries cannot be retained even if they want to; Friends, you don’t need to keep them and they are always on our side—we just need to prepare good wine for our friends, and as for the treacherous countries, the Third Reich has never lacked artillery and tanks.”
