Eight Hundred and Seventy-Five to Show Attitude
If Turkey really has the ability to help the German army capture the Baku oil fields, so as not to let the German army set the main direction of attack in the Caucasus region, it would be okay to give half of the oil production to Turkey. m. Mobile Network Because of the German army, they can leave the difficult Stalingrad behind and directly march into Moscow.
But does Turkey have this ability? The seemingly powerful Turkey lies between the Middle East and the Soviet Union, which can act as a barrier. But once this barrier starts to attack, it will be "leaked".
"If Turkey's attack on the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, or the attack on the Middle East is frustrated... have you thought about the consequences in this regard?" Akado didn't want to pour cold water on his staff, but at this time, these people must be let Soberly see the facts before speaking.
"..." Everyone was discussing what would happen if Turkey sent troops and won the war, but they all ignored what would happen if Turkey really lost.
Marshal Brauchitsch can be said to be the most professional person present. He immediately thought of the consequences of the collapse of Turkey-there will be no more obstacles between the Soviet army in the Caucasus and the American army in the Middle East, and there will be more variables in the war. .
In case the Allies really blow up the Baku oil fields, and then let the Soviet army besieged in the Caucasus go south to the Middle East, or blow up the oil fields in the Middle East, and let the U.S. troops go north to the Caucasus, it may cause trouble for the German army's quick-fix strategy. You must know that the German advantage in the Caucasus is not as obvious as it was at the beginning of the war. Once the U.S. and British troops participate, the situation in the Caucasus may really be overturned by the Allies.
"Turkey... may not lose, right? After all, whether it is the Soviet army in the Caucasus or the U.S. military in the Middle East, it seems that they only have the strength to parry and have no strength to fight back." After thinking about the problem of Turkey's defeat, Braun Hitch brought up one of the key points he was most concerned about: whether Turkey will lose or not.
Akado sneered, then stood up, walked to Brauchitsch, and looked down at the marshal. He supported Brauchitsch who was about to get up, then looked at the people around him, and said slowly: "During the last world war, Turkey was our ally. We hope that Turkey will send troops to the Middle East. The results of it?"
Needless to say the result? Of course, Turkey, which is superior in strength, was stumbled by the stragglers in the Arab world, and turned to Britain and France at a critical time-in short, this ally was extremely unreliable during the last war.
Everyone's complexion is not very good. Turkey's performance in the last war was indeed not very good, and the psychological shadow of German betrayal was even greater. This kind of ally is often a chaotic role when they win, and a traitor when they lose.
"Let Turkey take risks, it's better to stabilize them and let us do it ourselves!" Akado finally said. When he said this, he couldn't help being a little envious of another enemy of the Third Reich.
Japan from the Far East.
Few of the allies of the Third Reich are decent, and the allies of the United States are even more unreliable. On the contrary, Japan, which seems to dominate in this regard, has its own advantages: its allies are a group of out-and-out younger brothers, which did not affect Japan's victory at all. negative strength.
Therefore, Japan does not need to consider how to stabilize its allies, as long as it continues to develop itself according to its own wishes. What a happy thing this is-look at the "allies" of Japan, such as Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and the puppet Manchukuo with stronger national power...Which one dares to make irresponsible remarks to Japan? Who dares to make demands on Japan?
Of course, on the other hand, as long as Akado thinks of these allies of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, he suddenly feels that Italy and allies such as Romania and Finland are suddenly bursting into battle—take Italy as an example, at least better than the puppet Manchuria. The fighting power of the country's troops is quite strong, right?
Sometimes allies are really an interesting dialectical relationship: when allies are strong, they tend to become unreliable; and when they are reliable enough to obey their words, it often proves that these allies are too weak to help It's getting busy. This was true of Italy during World War II, and so is the relationship between NATO and the United States in the 21st century.
"You have to rely on yourself for everything!" Akado sighed: "The troops sent are used to stabilize Turkey and prevent them from succumbing to the pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union! As for letting Turkey attack... this kind of thing is my responsibility." I dare not think about it, the best choice is when we occupy the Caucasus and force Turkey to go south."
"I was instigated by the Jews and asked Turkey to go south." Akado stared at the subordinates who flirted with the Jewish forces, and said coldly: "Let me go and stare at the iron ore in Norway! That's it!" It is something that is really useful to the empire!"
"Gudong" Several politicians and officials who had good relations with Jews in private swallowed their saliva and were criticized by the head of state by name. This is not a fun thing, because anyone who makes the head of state angry will directly bear the SS Army's anger. The guy who was at odds with the head of state last time, now his whole family works in a "factory" called Auschwitz.
...
At the same time, in the Far East, Chongqing was the capital of China during the war. Chiang Kai-shek is furious with his confidants and generals, because the US aid he relies on the most has just been completely cut off.
"Committee. The Hanyang Arsenal of our army has just been bombed by the Japanese army, and the production capacity cannot be recovered in a short time. The frontline soldiers lack ammunition, which led to this defeat." As one of Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted generals, Chen Cheng bit the bullet Speak first. What happened to the Americans made him feel quite upset, but everyone couldn't think of any particularly good countermeasures for a while.
Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Song Meiling, went to the United States as a special envoy to China. The Soong family is also considered a well-known capitalist in the United States, with extensive connections. However, despite the efforts of the Song family and the activities of the Chinese president's wife, they still failed to impress the top US officials and asked the US to provide more military assistance.
This is a betrayal of the Chinese battlefield! Chiang Kai-shek looked angrily at the war-torn map of China on the wall, shouting loudly in his heart. He knew his officers had done their best, and he knew what he had lost in the recent rout.
The troops of 30 full divisions discarded their helmets and armors, and the only remaining German armorers, the main force, were wiped out. General Zhang Zizhong, a titan of the Northwest Army, fought hard on the battlefield for 6 days and finally died on the battlefield because there was no reinforcement. The land of dozens of counties was lost in the First World War in the Chinese theater. The important heavy industry base from Wuhan to Hanyang, which was still some distance from the front line, is now less than a hundred miles away from the front line.
The situation of the domestic anti-Japanese war that had been stable took a turn for the worse. With the increase in the density of bombing of the Hanyang Arsenal by the Japanese Army Air Corps, China's self-produced weapons and equipment became less and less, which could no longer meet the needs of combat.
What about the hateful Americans? Even abandoning China is like a pair of shoes. Regardless of the large number of Japanese threats that the squadron is holding back, it directly stopped the supplies to aid the Chinese battlefield. As a result, the counterattack planned by China could not be carried out, and the connected defense became a difficult task.
"When General Sickert came to China, we were not as strong as we are now." Chiang Kai-shek said with emotion to his subordinate He Yingqin and other generals: "He helped us establish the current Wuhan industrial base, allowing us to produce weapons and strengthen national defense. Capital."
"We were able to play so well in Shanghai, and we were able to lose so honorably in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hebei, and Xuzhou. We relied on the old foundation left by Sickert and our German friends." Liu Zhi stood on the side of Chiang Kai-shek. Behind him, he said softly: "If we lose Wuhan, we will all be finished."
"Mother Xipi!" Chiang Kai-shek gritted his teeth and didn't know who to scold, but everyone could hear him clearly. Everyone lowered their heads, for fear that the committee members' anger would be vented on themselves.
The Germans left, and when they left, they left behind an industrial base, which made China fight like a rainbow in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The Americans also left, leaving nothing behind, so now the Chinese battlefield is extremely passive.
This situation can't help but make China's top management miss an old man named Sickert even more. This old man is old-fashioned and lacks a sense of humor. Don't dare to forget.
Man is a strange animal. Their memory is selective and subjective. Although the Americans gave more, the Chinese are more grateful to the Germans for giving more in a timely manner. As the saying goes, it is better to give charcoal in the snow than to hold a salary for everyone. No matter how many weapons and ammunition the Americans gave, it was not as good as the modern industrial foundation built by the Germans, or the modern military thinking deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese Communist Party.
"Don't think about it, the Germans are so good, they are beyond their reach, and they can't control us anymore." Chiang Kai-shek coughed, and said somewhat dispiritedly: "Right now we still need to win the aid of the Americans and try to strengthen the front line of defense. "
He is also helpless, after all, even if the Germans are nostalgic, they are far away in Europe. Even if Germany intends to win over China, it is powerless because of the distance. Now China is in urgent need of all kinds of material assistance, and it is unrealistic not to hold on to the thighs of the Americans. Besides, whether the Germans lack such a poor friend as China, Chiang Kai-shek has no idea.
However, it is very necessary to give the Americans a warning, or in other words, remind the Americans to let the Americans know the importance of China in the Allied camp. So he continued to speak: "Send a telegram to the Expeditionary Force and ask them to shrink their defenses! Imphal... let the British fight by themselves!" >
