Chapter 872

Brauchich also admitted that it is very reasonable for akkado to say that long pain is not as good as short pain. The German Army wanted a quick fight and a quick decision. Even if the loss was greater, as long as the battle could be ended as soon as possible, the German army would pay a much smaller price.

For akkado, Stalingrad is not the only one who is bothered. Another thing that bothered him was the treaty between Germany and Turkey. At that time, Germany was eager to pull Turkey into the Balkans and offered many favorable conditions. Now, Turkish forces are infiltrating in the Balkans, which once made public security in the Balkans a mess.

The German Foreign Ministry had to summon Turkey's ambassador again and again, hoping that Turkey would at least adopt a moderate ethnic policy to cope with the collapsing Balkan social system.

The Balkan Peninsula has always been a complex and eventful area in international relations, known as the "European powder magazine". Here, due to various historical reasons, the thorny issues such as race * issues, religious conflicts, cultural differences, border disputes, political differences and so on have mutual influence, intertwined and incompatibility.

Turkey's penetration of its own jurisdiction into the Balkans has also made the region more chaotic. Originally, in the Balkans, Yugoslavia was the most concentrated and violent 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 whole Balkans.

Because the Balkan region is located in an important road of transportation, it has always been a place for military strategists to fight for. Therefore, for the sake of their own interests, European powers have always been concerned about the dynamics and changes here, and actively involved in various contradictions and conflicts. For these reasons, the ethnic issue in the Balkans has become a very sensitive regional issue. Both Germany and Italy have handled it with great care. Only Turkey has been making trouble in a bold way.

If anyone wants to know how chaotic the Balkan region is, it is necessary to start with the number of ethnic groups in the Balkan region. There are eight ethnic groups with a population of more than 500000 in this region, and it seems that every ethnic group has a strong interest in ruling this region. With the arrival of Turkey, there is one more person to share the cake, but there are many fewer people to share the cake, so the consequences are very bad.

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

As for the German occupied areas, those rebel forces dare not easily provoke. After all, the troops under general Hote are not idle. Those rebel forces who went to the German Balkan occupied areas earlier to fight with Bulgaria have been wiped out without exception. General Hote is happy with what Turkey has done, because after comparison, the Balkan aborigines in his jurisdiction are much more honest, because their neighbors live a much harder life than them.

"I've heard about Turkey's mischief in the Balkans." Now that this topic has been brought up, marshal brauchich has no choice but to go on talking about it. After sighing, he said to akkado helplessly, "but it's an occupied area of Turkey. We can only make a few comments and can't interfere in the actions of the Turkish army."

"Italy, Turkey... If you don't bring them in, they will be brought in by the British. But bringing them in will only cause us trouble. " Akkado finds his allies irritating. When he mentioned these allies, he always felt like a kindergarten teacher playing with a group of children.

Italy is making soy sauce in North Africa, and Turkey is just not working hard. Northern Britain can only live in the shadow of reconstruction. Vichy France can only stand behind Germany and shout, and Franco's Spain... Think about it, I feel very sad. So akado and his subordinates even regard Romania as Germany's most useful ally in private, No one.

These countries will not only ask Germany for benefits, but also ask them to send troops to help them fight for territory; Blame each other within the axis group for their own interests; When the German army needed help

"Marshal blauchich, why can't we have some decent allies?" Akkado thought of the allies of these Axis powers, and he felt full of complaints.

"Sometimes, my head of state, allies are not our choice. At least, for Germany, it is Bloushic also left his mouth behind him. If he was replaced by Rommel, the commander of North Africa, he could estimate that two heads of state and marshal could squatting together to make complaints about Italy.

……

Just when akado complained that his allies were not reliable, President Roosevelt, who was far away from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, was in his wheelchair, together with his aides Marshall and Eisenhower, complaining that America's allies were really not good.

"The list of supplies put forward by the British this month is unbearable! Who do they think they are? Is America still their colony? When your majesty sneezes, we'll give everything to you with both hands? " An official in charge of production complained to Roosevelt on his left.

This month, the United States and Britain were sunk by the German army a total of 114 ships, including destroyers, but more supplies ships. Almost two-thirds of the goods transported to Iceland and the Middle East were sunk by the German army. The United States, even though it is very rich, can not help but feel headache about its own losses. The Middle East is good, because the United States has opened a very long waterway. Even though the loss is greater, the U.S. military in the Middle East is not short of food and ammunition. It just needs to transport heavy industrial products such as tanks from the United States. Even so, the United States has been "sunk" by the German submarine, a total of 500 Sherman tanks. Iceland is the worst hit. The German Navy submarine force has invested a new type of submarine in Iceland. The underwater speed of this submarine is a headache for the US Navy. Now there is no good way to deal with it. This also led to the German army's recklessness in most of the routes in Iceland, the British and American transport ships suffered heavy losses, and the routes in Iceland were basically paralyzed. Let alone preparing for the counterattack, the British royal family's Icelandic front-line base, even if it is barely maintained, will consume a lot of American materials. From food to heavy weapons, the list of needs provided by the British government to the United States makes people feel robbed“ What do they want? 5000 tons of grain! Do they have so many people to eat? 15 destroyers, 1000 fighters, and 20000 tons of jet fuel... Why don't they grab it? " The more the official said, the more excited he was. He slapped the papers in his hand and yelled loudly“ Faster than grabbing! " Marshall sighed and "corrected" his colleagues. Then he said to Roosevelt with a wry smile, "we have to be more careful about the supplies we provide to Britain. Most of the supplies have been sunk under the Atlantic Ocean. Is our plan to build a bridge from the bottom of the ocean to Iceland?" General Eisenhower has always been an American general who supported the British counter offensive plan. At this time, he also had nothing to say, so he had to squeeze out a sentence to deal with the accusation of his colleagues: "the British demand for supplies is based on the premise that our supplies have been heavily sunk. In fact, their demand is very small, and most of the Icelandic bases have ceased to operate." Roosevelt, sitting in the first place, also had to sigh that these allies of the United States are really rubbish. If you look at the allies of Germany, why can each of them show their due value in key places? Italy helped the German army to sweep the British and American allied forces in North Africa. The axis powers now control North Africa and radiate to Central Africa. They are improving their shortage of rubber raw materials. Turkey is in a position of four wars, blocking the Black Sea fleet of the Soviet Union and threatening the security of the Middle East and northeast. This Middle East scumbag has almost one million troops in its hands. Whether it goes north or south, it threatens the strategic positions of the allies. Let's take a look at Spain in gibraltarian, Romania in oil producing areas, Vichy France, which began to give blood to Germany, and northern Britain, which is ready to take over the British heritage. How come there are so many excellent allies that none of them are American? The more Roosevelt thought about it, the more angry he was. He almost threw the papers in his hand and let people push him out of the chair. Because in his hand is a list of allies to ask for help, a variety of types, it is simply a bunch of life-threatening charm. The Soviet Union asked the United States to provide 1 million tons of fuel, 3000 advanced Sherman tanks and 5000 armored vehicles within six months. What's more terrible is that the Soviet Union wanted the U.S. Army to provide air force equipment urgently: 5000 advanced fighters and 500 large transport planes... Roosevelt wanted to hold Stalin's collar and ask the other side. He was so big, His parents know! The assistance provided by the United States to the Soviet Union is not small, but what is the result? Now the Soviet army is fighting hard in Stalingrad, at least 18000 miles away from winning Germany“ That... Mr. President. " In the corner, an official in charge of Asian Affairs coughed twice, pointed to a pile of forgotten documents on the desk in front of Roosevelt, and whispered, "sorry, you forgot to read China's request for assistance."
