Eight Hundred and Seventy-Three than Allies

Brauchitsch also admitted that it is very reasonable for Akado to say that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

The fastest-updated novel, the German army emphasizes quick battles, even if the losses are greater, as long as the battle can end as soon as possible, then the German army will relatively pay a much smaller price.

And for Akado, Stalingrad is not the only worry now. Another thing that disturbed him was the question of the alliance between Germany and Turkey. Back then, Germany was eager to attract Turkey into the group and offered many favorable conditions. Now Turkey's influence is infiltrating the Balkans, which once made the security of the Balkans a mess.

The German Foreign Ministry had to summon the Turkish ambassador again and again, hoping that Turkey would restrain its actions in the Balkans and at least adopt a more moderate ethnic policy to deal with the Balkan social system that was about to collapse.

The Balkan Peninsula has always been a complex and eventful region in international relations, known as the "European Powder Depot". Here, due to various historical reasons, thorny issues such as ethnic violence, religious conflicts, cultural differences, border disputes, and political differences all affect each other, are intertwined, and tend to be incompatible.

And Turkey's infiltration of its jurisdiction into the Balkans has also made this region even more chaotic. Originally in the Balkan Peninsula, the Yugoslavia region was the most concentrated and intense area of ​​contradictions and conflicts. Now because of Turkey's extreme immigration policy, Turkey's Balkan occupied area has become the most chaotic place in the entire Balkans.

Because the Balkan region is located in an important traffic route, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, out of self-interest, the major European countries have always paid attention to the dynamics and changes here, and actively intervened in various contradictions and conflicts. For these reasons, the ethnic issue in the Balkans has become a very sensitive regional issue. Germany and Italy are handling it carefully, but Turkey is making big troubles.

If anyone wants to know how chaotic the Balkans are, they have to start with the number of ethnic groups in the Balkans—there are 8 ethnic groups in this region with a population of more than 500,000, and it seems that each ethnic group is very important to rule this country. The region is of great interest. The arrival of Turkey has brought one more person to share the cake, but there is a lot less cake to share, so the consequences have become very bad.

The basic order of formation of the resistance forces in the Balkans is as follows: the general rebels were born in the Balkans occupied by Turkey, then fled to the Italian occupied areas in the Balkans to grow, and then returned to the Turkish occupied areas to make waves.

As for the German-occupied areas, those rebels dare not provoke easily. After all, the troops under General Huott are not idlers. Those rebels who went to the German Balkan occupation area and Bulgaria earlier to fight the autumn wind were wiped out without exception. up. General Huot is happy to see what Turkey has done,

Because after the comparison, the Balkan natives in his jurisdiction are much more honest, because their neighbors live much harder than them.

"I've also heard about Turkey's misbehavior in the Balkans." Since this topic was brought up, Marshal Brauchitsch had no choice but to pick up the topic and continue the chat. After he sighed, he said helplessly to Akado: "However, it is the occupied area of ​​Turkey. We can only make some comments and cannot interfere with the actions of the Turkish army."

"Italy, Turkey... If you don't bring them in, they will be brought in by the British. But if you bring them in, you can only cause trouble for us." Akado felt that his allies were really irritating . When mentioning these allies, he always felt like a kindergarten teacher playing with a group of children.

Italy is playing soy sauce in North Africa, Turkey is just working hard, the northern United Kingdom can only live in the shadow of reconstruction, Vichy France can only stand behind Germany and wave the flag, and count Franco's Spain …Thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable—that’s why Akado and his subordinates even regarded Romania as Germany’s most useful ally in private, not one of them.

In addition to asking for benefits from Germany, these countries are also good at asking to send troops to help them fight for territory; accusing each other within the Axis group for their own interests; pushing back and forth when the German army needs help...

"Marshal Brauchitsch, tell me, why can't we have some decent allies?" Akado felt full of complaints when he thought of these Axis allies.

"My Fuhrer, sometimes, our allies are not something we can choose at will. At least, for Germany, this is the case." Brauchitsch also pouted helplessly, if it was Marshal Rommel of North Africa If you come to complain, it is estimated that the head of state and the marshal can squat together and scold Italy all day.

...

When Acado complained that his allies were not very reliable, American President Roosevelt, who was far away on the other side of the Atlantic, was also in his wheelchair, together with his staff Marshall and Eisenhower, complained that the allies of the United States were really not very good. Sample.

"The supply list proposed by the British this month is unbearable! Who do they think they are? Is the United States still their colony? When His Majesty the Emperor sneezes, we will obediently send everything with both hands?" A production official complained to Roosevelt on Roosevelt's left.

This month, the United States and the United Kingdom were sunk by the German army with a total of 114 ships, including destroyers, but more supply ships. Almost two-thirds of the materials shipped to Iceland and the Middle East were sunk by the German army. No matter how rich and powerful the United States is, it can't help but feel a headache about its losses.

The Middle East is okay, because the United States has opened up a very long waterway. Even though the losses are greater, the U.S. military in the Middle East has no shortage of food and ammunition. It just needs to transport tanks and other heavy industrial products from the United States. Even so, the United States has been "sunk" a full 500 Sherman tanks by German submarines.

Iceland is the hardest hit. The German Navy Submarine Force has invested a new type of submarine in Iceland. The underwater speed of this submarine has caused a headache for the U.S. Navy, and there is no good way to deal with it now. This also caused the German army to be unscrupulous on most of Iceland's routes, the British and American transport ships suffered heavy losses, and Iceland's routes were basically paralyzed.

The Icelandic frontline base prepared by the British royal family to counterattack the mainland, let alone prepare for the counterattack now, even if it is barely maintained, it will consume a lot of supplies from the United States. From food to heavy weapons, the list of needs provided by the British government to the United States gives people a feeling of being robbed.

"Look at what they want? 5,000 tons of food! Do they have so many people to eat? 15 destroyers, 1,000 fighter jets, and 20,000 tons of aviation fuel...Why don't they grab it?" the official said. The more he talked, the more excited he was, patting the document in his hand and roaring loudly.

"Faster than robbing!" Marshall sighed and "corrected" his colleagues. Then he said to Roosevelt with a wry smile: "We must be more cautious about the supplies we provide to the UK. Most of the supplies have been sunk on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Could it be that our plan is to build a bridge from the bottom of the sea to Iceland. "

General Eisenhower has always been an American general who supported the British counter-offensive plan. At this time, he had nothing to say, so he had to squeeze out a sentence to deal with the accusations of his colleagues: "Britain's request for supplies is based on the fact that our supplies have been attacked in large numbers. Based on this premise, in fact, their needs are pitiful, and most of the Icelandic bases have ceased to operate."

Roosevelt sat at the top, and he had to lament that these allies of the United States are really rubbish-look at the allies of Germany, why can each of them reflect their due value in key places?

Italy helped the German army sweep the British and American coalition forces in North Africa. The Axis powers now control North Africa and radiate to Central Africa, and are already improving their shortage of rubber raw materials.

Turkey is on the ground of the Fourth World War, blocking the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, and threatening the safety of the North East. This Middle East shit stick has almost 1 million troops in its hands. Whether it goes north or south, it threatens the strategic locations of the Allies.

Then look at Spain in Gibraltar, Romania in oil production, Vichy France, which began to transfuse Germany, and the northern United Kingdom, which is preparing to take over the British heritage. With so many excellent allies, how come none of them belong to the Americans?

The more Roosevelt thought about it, the more angry he almost dropped the documents in his hand, and he was pushed away by his wheelchair. Because in his hand is a bunch of lists of allies asking for help, of various types-it is simply a bunch of life-threatening spells.

The Soviet Union asked the United States to provide 1 million tons of fuel oil, 3,000 advanced Sherman tanks and 5,000 armored vehicles within 6 months. What was even more frightening was that the Soviet Union wanted the US military to urgently provide air force equipment: a full 5,000 advanced fighter jets, and 500 A large transport aircraft...

Roosevelt really wanted to grab Stalin by the collar and ask him a good question. Did his parents know that he was so talkative? The aid provided by the United States to the Soviet Union is not insignificant, but what is the result? Now the Soviet army is fighting hard in Stalingrad, and it is at least one hundred and eight thousand miles away from winning Germany.

"That...Mr. President." In the corner, an official in charge of Asian affairs coughed twice, pointed to the forgotten stack of documents on the table in front of Roosevelt, and whispered: "Sorry, you forgot Look at China's request for aid."
