Balkans have always been a powder keg. It was because of this place that the World War I broke out.
However, this time, under the powerful offensive of the German army, everything was reduced to ashes, and it had already become an occupied area of the German army.
But there has always been a tradition of resistance here. Guerrillas that resisted in various places are prevalent and numerous, which is a headache for the stationed German troops. If it were not for the control of Greece, August would have wanted to give up here.
The Balkan Peninsula and the Graveyard of Empires are known as the two most troublesome places in the world. At this time, the German army only dared to hide outside the city and did not dare to go to the wild. It was not because they were cowardly, but because there were too many guerrillas. When the army went out to suppress them, the enemy hid, wasting manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Small-scale troop attacks are just delivering food to others.
"Marshal Keitel, how can you deal with these guerrillas?"August pointed to the map of the Balkan Peninsula and said.
Hearing this, Marshal Keitel frowned and said bitterly:"Your Majesty, this place has always been a headache since ancient times. If you want to deal with these guerrillas, you must press in with a large number of soldiers."
"No, if the troops march in, it will only arouse the will to resist here."August shook his head and refused. Sometimes not everything needs to be solved by force, and here only a conciliatory policy can be used. Iron-blooded suppression will only cause others to be disgusted.
"What do you mean?" Marshal Keitel asked in confusion.
"Since they have demands, then satisfy them." August said without caring.
"Don't you just want to establish a country? I agreed to it, but there is one requirement, that is, they must declare to join us and declare war on the Allies."
"In addition, they have to send troops to help suppress Greece."
August made two requests in a row, and Marshal Keitel frowned and said immediately:"Your Majesty, aren't you adding to the unrest there?"
"How can we manage if there is no chaos?" August said with a smile:"Only when there is chaos will they need us more. Otherwise, we will have to pay a high maintenance fee every year."
"In addition, they have to pay a garrison fee. Believe me, they will not refuse it."
Marshal Keitel immediately understood and admired August deeply. This move was too powerful, but he was still a little worried:"Will this be too much?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. As long as we stay strong, they won't dare to resist. My ultimate goal is still Turkey. Its location is too important."August said lightly.
The Allies wanted to open up a second battlefield. August also wanted to open up a second battlefield. The situation at this time was already in a stalemate. It was impossible to defeat the opponent in one go.
The commander of the opponent was not a fool. He would never give up the situation that he had fought so hard to achieve. Once the German army increased its troops in the existing places, the Allies would also increase their troops. They would never see the German army win the final victory.
At this time, the Atlantic barrier has basically been formed, and Ireland is also in frequent contact. It will send troops only after the final division is determined.
At that time, the British army on the island of Northern Ireland will be caught in a situation of fighting on two fronts.
The British army with no morale may not be the opponent of the Irish army.
After all, the other side may It is hatred that has been suppressed for hundreds of years, and when the time comes, it will be a monstrous rage, so August is not worried about the situation in the British Isles.
When the situation becomes more stable, the garrison will become fewer and fewer, and it will be enough to retain a force of 50,000.
The only place that can open up a second battlefield is Turkey.
You can't let the army swim across the Atlantic to fight the M Army, right?
The Aliya area is still on the defensive for the time being, waiting for Rommel to break the deadlock. Then you can counterattack again and take the Suez Canal in one go.
It's just that Turkey has always been a fence-sitter. It's difficult to make this fence-sitter turn against you, unless you make a promise.
But the conditions that August can give are limited. You can't give him all the places you occupy now, right? This is also unrealistic
"It's not easy to fool people." August muttered as he looked at the map.
"Marshal Keitel, if we use military force against the Tuji Kingdom, how many troops do you think we need to mobilize?"
Hearing this, Marshal Keitel's face flashed with shock, and he wanted to persuade him, but seeing the resolute expression on August's face, he held back his original words, regained his emotions and explained:"At least 500,000. The combat effectiveness of the Tuji Kingdom is not weak, and their terrain is too complicated. Our army is not familiar with the situation and may suffer heavy losses."
Even if the German army can seize part of Turkey's European territory, it will be difficult to seize the rest. The strait alone is enough to give the German army a headache.
The navy is still trapped in the Mediterranean. How can they deal with Turkey's navy without a fleet? There is also a long logistics line, which needs to be solved.
However, August has set his sights on the Persian oil farther away. There is the largest oil field in the world, and owning it will really be invincible.
With the oil field, the whole of Europe will be able to take off again, and even if it is a single challenge to the two major powers of the United States and the Soviet Union, it will not be afraid at all.
And with the oil field, he also has money to continue to increase research on super weapons. Of course, he can also buy them from the arms supermarket, but the price of that thing is too high. Even the super weapons of the 1950s are frighteningly expensive.
However, although the role of super weapons is great, they can only scare off small and medium-sized countries, and definitely not the other major powers.
To put it in the most practical way, unless you have hundreds of them at once and have the ability to bomb the world, otherwise super weapons can only be used as weapons that are invincible, not weapons that determine victory or defeat.
"Then what can you do to make the Chicken Kingdom turn against you?" After thinking for a while, Augustus, who still had no clue, said
"Not yet, we can only offer huge benefits and lure them slowly. Marshal Keitel shrugged and said
"It looks like we have to put it aside for a while, but you have to hurry up and train the reserve forces, and have them continue to expand the scale of recruitment, especially for those servants, and double it, and give them all the weapons we replaced."August thought for a while and said
"yes!"
……
On the other side, Ribbentrop, who received August's order, flew to Sara City and met General Wright who was stationed there as soon as he got off the plane.
"Ribbentrop, welcome to Sara City."At the airport, General Wright said with a smile.
"I don't want to come here. It's all the Emperor's orders." Ribbentrop said jokingly.
"Hehe." The two smiled at each other, but General Wright's eyes were full of bitterness.
The Supreme Command was very dissatisfied with his recent performance, and he naturally knew Ribbentrop's intention.
Fortunately, Marshal Keitel sent him a telegram not long ago, asking him to fully cooperate with Ribbentrop. If things were done well, all previous mistakes would be written off. Otherwise, multiple crimes would be punished together, and it would not be as simple as going to a military court. This was why he saw Ribbentrop so respectful.
"General Wright, you haven't had a good time lately."Before coming here, Ribbentrop also had a general understanding of the situation and knew that the guerrillas were prevalent here and the German army suffered a lot.
Hearing this, General Wright complained bitterly and told all the bitterness of this period in one breath.
After listening to General Wright's complaints, Ribbentrop had a general understanding of the current situation in the Balkans, which was more complicated than he knew.
"There are so many guerrillas?" Ribbentrop asked in surprise. Ribbentrop originally thought there were only four or five guerrillas, but who knew there were actually ten. The strongest of them was the First Proletarian Brigade led by Tito, and the rest of the guerrillas were only average."
Yes, it's impossible to wipe them out." General Wright said helplessly.
When they were encircled and suppressed, they went deep into the mountains and forests. The German army was not familiar with the terrain, just like playing hide-and-seek, relying purely on luck, and often returned empty-handed.
"This is troublesome." Ribbentrop also had a headache. He originally thought it was an easy job, but who knew it would be so troublesome.
"Can we send someone to contact these guerrilla leaders?"After thinking for a while, Ribbentrop asked.
Hearing this, General Wright was a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he slowly said:"It's not a big problem. According to the intelligence we have, many capitalists have connections with these guerrillas."
"Let them contact the guerrillas and tell them that I have a project to discuss with them."Ribbentrop said calmly.
Now, General Wright was even more puzzled. He was very curious about what the project was. Looking at Wright's puzzled eyes, Ribbentrop smiled and said,"It's not a big project. Just say that we are willing to help them build a country and hand over the territories they currently occupy."
"What?"General Wright was stunned for a moment. Helping these guerrillas build a country? Is this a joke?
"Sir, are you wrong? Helping those guerrillas to build a country?"
"You heard it right, it means helping those guerrillas build their own country." Ribbentrop glanced at it and repeated it again.
"this……"General Wright was puzzled. They had fought so hard to gain the territory, and now they were just giving it up. Wasn't this price too high?
"General Wright, sometimes relying on force alone doesn't work, you have to change your mindset, can you tell me how many ethnic groups there are here, how many kinds of believers there are?" Ribbentrop said with a smile. General
Wright was dumbfounded. He stared at the map every day, thinking about how to wipe out these people, and never thought about these things, but he probably knew a little bit.
"There are about ten ethnic groups, and four or five kinds of believers."General Wright said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Ribbentrop smiled even more and continued,"You are right, so there are often conflicts here. The last war was caused here."
"We are like sitting on a powder keg at this moment. If we don't solve it, once this mine explodes, we will be the ones to bear the consequences."
General Wright nodded unconsciously. After arriving, he realized that the situation here was more complicated than he had imagined.
"Go contact those capitalists and ask them to tell the guerrillas behind them that we will help them build a country, provided that they join us."After persuading General Wright, Ribbentrop said with a smile
"yes!"
……
Soon, the capitalists who supported the guerrillas���Although many people were skeptical about Ribbentrop's sincerity,
"Do you think this is a trap?"A middle-aged capitalist said solemnly.
"I also think this is a trap, waiting for us to fall into it, and then catch us all in one fell swoop."
However, some people expressed their belief in the sincerity of the German army and said directly:"This should be true. Based on what we did, we are probably on the list of the German intelligence agency. If they want to catch us, they would have caught us long ago. Why do they need to fall into the trap?"
After this statement came out, many people agreed. The fact that they resold supplies to the guerrillas could definitely not be hidden from the German intelligence agency.
If they wanted to catch them, they would have done it long ago, and there would be no need for them to take the letter to the guerrillas.
"In fact, this is an opportunity."Someone said with a gleam in his eyes.
Many people present were smart and understood what opportunity meant.
There is a saying that goes,"Those who steal a hook will be executed, and those who steal a country will be made marquises." If they can really help the guerrillas build a country, then these capitalists will definitely become high-ranking officials.
Thinking of this, many people were excited. This is a good opportunity. As for the original ideals, many people have abandoned them. In the face of real interests, those empty promises are all false.
"Bastards, you are betraying me."The others were not fools either, and they immediately understood what the flashing eyes of these people meant, and someone immediately shouted angrily
"Mr. Ibrahimovic, don't say that. Everyone knows what you are planning. We are just seeking profit for ourselves. Someone couldn't help but sneer.
"Bastards, Tito will not let you go." The man called Ibrahimovic roared angrily.
"Let's wait and see." Led by the man, many people stood up and left. They wanted to pass the news to the guerrillas they supported as soon as possible. They must not miss this opportunity.
"What should I do now, Mr. Ibrahimovic? The rest of the people looked at Ibrahimovic and said worriedly.
"Damn it, contact leader Tito, I believe he will find a way"
"Yes!"
Soon the guerrillas received the news that the Germans would negotiate with them and promised to help them build a country and provide weapons.
At first they doubted whether this was a trap set by the Germans, but soon they received the sincerity of the Germans. The troops that were encircling and suppressing the guerrillas withdrew overnight and abandoned the cities bordering the guerrillas. This made many guerrillas very happy and they sent their trusted subordinates to the negotiation site.
""Assholes, these assholes, damn it, this is a conspiracy, can't they see it?" Tito roared angrily after receiving the news.
He didn't expect the Germans to play tricks and directly hit him. He was the leader of various guerrillas in name, but in fact he also promised a lot of benefits, saying that if they drove the Germans away, they would be given this position and that position.
Originally, everything was going well, but now the Germans actually promised them to build a country, which was much better than high positions and generous salaries, and even he couldn't help but be tempted.
"Leader, what should we do now?"A staff officer asked worriedly.
"How should I know?"Tito replied angrily.
Although Tito was a leader, in fact, each guerrilla group had its own system and did not listen to him at all.
Now he was commanding those guerrillas in the name of a leader, and he was probably laughed at.
"A bunch of bastards, kill them all sooner or later."Tito hated secretly.
He knew this was a conspiracy of the German army, but he had no choice. It was useless to ask for help from Big Brother, who was too far away and had no time to care about him.
"Leader, we must come up with a solution, otherwise Yugoslavia will be completely divided."An official stood up and said worriedly
"Alas, I have no choice. The Germans just want us to get into internal strife so that they can take advantage of the situation."Tito said helplessly.
Hearing this, everyone in the command center was silent. They knew that the other side did it on purpose, but they could not do anything about it. This was very hurtful.
"Leader, the only way now is to recruit soldiers, expand the army, and capture cities. We must expand our strength before those ambitious people build their own country, otherwise we will be in trouble."A major general staff officer said seriously.
After hearing this suggestion, Tito thought for a while and found that this was the only way to do it. He immediately ordered:"Just do as you said, call on all young people to join the army to fight against the evil German army."
"yes!"
……
The peace talks were held as scheduled in a small town controlled by both sides. According to the agreement, neither side sent troops to the town, but a large number of troops were stationed 20 kilometers outside the town.���The last second, they were still enemies. If the peace talks were unsuccessful, the two sides would still be enemies.
However, Ribbentrop seemed very calm. He felt that General Wright's arrangement was redundant. He was sincere and believed that the guerrilla leaders would definitely not refuse. However, he did not say anything. After all, it was the other party's good intentions.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Ribbentrop. I believe many people know me. This time I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of our Emperor. You can put forward any conditions you have."In the simple meeting room, Ribbentrop introduced himself.
"I am the deputy commander of the Second Proletarian Brigade, Dejilas."
"I am Kovacevich, deputy commander of the 3rd Division of the People's Army."
"I am the deputy commander of the People's Army Independent Brigade………"
"I am…………"
"…………"
Basically, the ones who came were deputies, and none of the main ones came. Ribbentrop was not too surprised about this. He would have been surprised if the main ones came.
The guerrillas who came were all at the regiment level or above, and the strongest ones were at the division level. Ribbentrop divided them up almost instantly.
For example, the ones at the regiment level would keep each other warm and advance and retreat together, while the ones at the division level would form their own systems. Seeing this, Ribbentrop probably understood in his heart and knew how to get along with these people.
"I believe you have seen the sincerity of the empire. We have withdrawn our troops and ceded more than ten cities. This is just a gesture of sincerity before the peace talks. Now let's get to the point."
"As long as you meet one condition, our army will immediately withdraw from all territories."
Ribbentrop didn't waste time talking to them and directly put forward the conditions.
Hearing this, everyone frowned. They also knew that it was absolutely impossible to make the German army withdraw unconditionally. At this time, the deputy commander of the 3rd Division, Colonel Kovacevich, asked curiously:
"I don't know what the conditions are in your country?"
"It's very simple. All you have to do is declare war on the evil allies and you'll be all done." Ribbentrop said immediately.
Many people's faces changed drastically, especially the leaders of the regiment-level guerrillas, who turned pale and immediately retorted.
"Sorry, we cannot agree to this condition."
"It doesn't matter."Ribbentrop was not in a hurry and responded with a smile.
A few minions disagreed, but it didn't have much impact. It was just that the German army didn't have time to spare, otherwise they would have sent a few mountain divisions to wipe them all out.
"What about you?" Ribbentrop looked at the leaders of several division-level guerrillas and asked.
"We need to consider this condition. After all, declaring war is a big deal and we have to be responsible for the people."Colonel Kovacevich said with a bitter face.
"Yeah, think about it."
"Yes, we have to be responsible for the people."
Ribbentrop understood their concerns and immediately threw out another bait, saying:"If you agree, the Empire will provide you with weapons and equipment to help you improve your military strength, so that you don't have to worry about retaliation."
"Sir, I would like to ask, does declaring war require us to send troops?"Colonel Kovacevich asked curiously
"No need to send troops. Of course, if you do, we will also give you a lot of benefits. After all, our emperor is very generous to his allies."Ribbentrop said with a smile on his face.
Hearing that there is no need to send troops, Colonel Kovacevich's eyes lit up, especially the sentence that sending troops would be beneficial, and he was immediately a little excited.
"What is this benefit?"Colonel Kovacevich asked hurriedly. Several other division-level guerrilla leaders were also curious. The regiment-level guerrilla leader who had refused before was embarrassed and thought to himself, if he had known earlier, he would not have refused so quickly.
"Do you know what is the lifeblood of an industrial country?" Ribbentrop asked instead of answering.
"Of course, it's steel."
"Yes, everyone knows this. Is it some kind of iron ore?"
"What good is iron ore?"
Seeing everyone talking, Ribbentrop shook his head and said,"Steel is only the backbone of the country, and oil is the lifeblood of the country."
"You all have steel in your respective territories, and the output is not low, but do you have oil? Without oil, how can you form an armored division? I think many of you have experienced the power of tanks."
When hearing about oil, many people showed a trace of greed in their eyes. In the past two years, they also got a batch of tanks, but due to the lack of oil, they could only be thrown into the warehouse as scrap metal. Facing the German tanks, there was no other way except to use human lives. Ordinary anti-tank artillery could not destroy the Leopard tanks at all.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ribbentrop opened the map he carried with him, pointed to Persia not far away, and said excitedly:"And here is the world's largest oil field, enough for the whole world for a thousand years. If we control it, I think you will be the richest people in the world, and you will have more money than you can spend in ten lifetimes."_
