Until now, Germany's main enemy was the Soviet Union. Before defeating the Soviet Union, Germany had no need to divide its energy.

Therefore, although Germany seems to be competing with the Americans on the Atlantic Ocean, it is actually not really a fight. There are still some problems on the land of Europe that Germany has not had time to deal with.

For example, in the Balkans during World War I, Germany has not intervened now, such as Africa. Although France has been expanding there, Germany has not paid attention to it. For example, Turkey, a country spanning Asia and Europe, and a country that controls the most important Black Sea Strait, Germany has not dealt with now.

Turkey's geographical location is very important. It borders the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, Syria and Iraq to the southeast, the Aegean Sea to the west, Greece and Bulgaria, and Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east.

It can be said that Türkiye's geographical location and geopolitical strategic significance are extremely important, and it is a crossroads connecting Eurasia.

In history, there was once the most powerful Ottoman Empire here. After the defeat in the First World War, Türkiye established a republic until now.

The Turks are contradictory. They now declare neutrality and actually have their own little abacus.

The Black Sea is basically the inland sea of ​​the Soviet Union, but its estuary is controlled by Turkey. Therefore, Turkey has almost always been a thorn in the eyes of the Soviets. The Soviets want to take down Turkey's Black Sea Strait and the Transcaucasus at all times.

So, from this point of view, Turkey has always been guarding against the Soviets. After all, since its establishment, the Soviet Union has almost inherited Russia's arrangement and continued to expand externally. When it was the Ottoman Empire, Turkey had been constantly dealing with the Russians' external expansion.

Therefore, Türkiye has no good impression of the Soviet Union, even if it signed a friendly treaty with the Soviet Union.

At the same time, Türkiye does not have much trust in Germany.

Turkey is not easy either. Since the Kemal Revolution, they have experienced countless hardships and pains in building a modern country on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, they do not trust any powerful politics. At the same time, they have the ability of the Eastern Mediterranean nation: they are good at bargaining for a long time, are good at finding some reasonable excuses to avoid taking inappropriate actions, and are good at eloquently convinced their opponents to think about their imagined self-interest, thereby diverting the controversy that has caused them to be strongly stressed.

This is a very cunning nation. It goes back on its word and is untrustful. It can do anything for the sake of profit. It is best to just talk and gain benefits.

Germany, however, put more pressure on them, of course, because of Italy.

Italy and Germany are allies, and Italy's hand has reached to Greece. As a country bordering Greece, Turkey is also in danger of being invaded by Italy. In the Eastern Caucasus, Germany's hand has reached to Iraq and can reach to the Caucasus at any time.

Turkey is afraid of Germany, especially now, Germany has become the most terrifying existence on this continent. Turkey has maintained its traditional "virtue" until now, which is neutrality and does not interfere.

At the same time, when World War II just broke out, the Turks also smeared Germany.

Turkey has a vast territory and naturally has rich minerals, the most coveted of is chromium ore.

As long as you have a little understanding, you will know how important this thing is.

For example, ferrochrome alloy can be used as an additive material for steel to produce a variety of high-strength, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, high-temperature-resistant and oxidation-resistant special steels, such as stainless steel, acid-resistant steel, heat-resistant steel, ball bearing steel, spring steel, tool steel, etc.

Metal chromium is mainly used to smel special alloys with cobalt, nickel, tungsten and other elements. These special steels and special alloys are indispensable materials for aviation, aerospace, automobiles, shipbuilding, and defense industry production of guns, missiles, rockets, ships, etc.

In terms of refractory materials, chromite is used to make chrome bricks, chromium magnesium bricks and other special refractory materials.

Before the war, Germany had conducted extensive trade cooperation with Turkey. Germany imported chromium and other iron ore sands necessary for the arms industry from Turkey. It was also the main customer of Turkey's various other raw materials such as leather, goat wool, cotton, oil and tobacco. Germany supplied Türkiye with the required light and heavy industrial products in exchange.

However, after the outbreak of the European war, the Turks' bad habits began. After Britain and France gave Turkey enough benefits, Turkey transferred most of its original trade with Germany to the side of Britain and France, allowing Britain and France to jointly monopolize the remaining chromium supply and exports of Turkey.

Fortunately, Germany has been preparing for a long time and has stocked a large amount of ore in advance. At the same time, it can also increase imports of chromium ore from Finland and other countries. Germany does not have many solutions to such despicable behaviors of the Turks.

Because Germany still has a lot to do, and has not made any effort to take care of Türkiye. Now, if Germany wants to exert greater influence on Ukraine, it is time to start with the Black Sea.

At the same time, if the German Navy can appear in the Black Sea, then attack the Crim Peninsula and the Sevastopol Fortress will be easily more, and the naval guns will be directly raised and bombarded!

Therefore, this juncture in Türkiye must be passed.

In the past, the Turks rely on Britain and France, but Britain and France are gone. Now, the Turks rely on the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union has been beaten up by their own side and suffered heavy losses. At this time, the Turks should be able to see that the world is coming, right? They should be good at changing their minds.

This will not delay Germany's battle on land. So far, the navy has not had many opportunities to excel. Apart from a joint maritime inspection near the Arctic Circle, there is no other task, and it is holding back.

In this case, just use powerful force to tell the Turks that direct mail obeying Germany is the prerequisite for Türkiye's existence!

"Order our Mediterranean fleet to sail towards the Black Sea Strait and conduct an exercise outside the Black Sea Strait." Cirick said: "At the same time, let the ambassador to Turkey officially notify Turkey that it is time to further deepen our relations!"

Now, Germany has an attack aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean, two escort aircraft carriers, several battleships, and ships from the French fleet, as well as air support from the Middle East and North Africa that can be obtained at any time.

Let them do an exercise, enough to scare the Turks into peeing their pants!

"We need absolute right to navigate in the Black Sea Strait. If the Turks do not agree, then our exercise will become a landing operation, and completely control there with force." Cirick said: "If the Turks agree, they can also get more benefits."

When you don’t want to use real war to solve problems, exercises and demonstrations are a pretty good way, especially for countries like Turkey that have rogue characteristics, they need carrots and sticks.

During this period, the navy, which had been impatient for a long time, finally had room for exercise. When the order was passed to the Navy headquarters, the huge fleet was soon as it was gathered.
