Historically, Bulgaria was actually pro-Germany and pro-Turkey, but in this life, Germany sold Bulgaria to Turkey and Romania for its own interests. Who told Germany to take so much oil in Romania? In the end, it could only rely on territory to exchange for these resources.

In fact, according to the popular saying of the Bulgarian government, it is actually the so-called invasion. In the end, they can only cede the territory to Turkey and give up the ethnic minority areas in the north to the Romanians. The final result is that the remaining territory of Bulgaria can be autonomous and exists as an independent region surrounded by several countries.

When German tanks and armored vehicles entered Croatia, they were warmly welcomed by the locals. The German soldiers were obviously a little overwhelmed and didn't even know how to deal with such a warm scene. In order to deal with the resistance, groups of invaders prepared bombs, cannons, and hundreds of planes. They were greeted by applause from flowers and cheers from countless citizens.

"I can't believe my eyes, my dear mother." A German soldier said in a letter to his mother: "When I swore to the national flag, I made up a determination that even if the head of state asked me to do anything against humanity for Germany, I would try my best to do it-now this worry is completely redundant. I know I am doing the right thing, I came here, the locals welcomed me, threw flowers at me, the girls smiled at me, God can testify, I became the hero here."

Another real thing happened the day after the German army occupied the entire territory of Croatia. The incident happened quite incredible: several British lurkers who intended to attack the German army hid in the house to make explosives and contacted people to prepare to ambush the German logistics and transportation troops. This matter was very hidden, and they rarely walked out of their house, so no one found their thoughts at all.

However, when these British lurkers went out for dinner, a thief patronized the empty house. He saw the bombs and submachine guns in the house, so he left the house without moving anything. The local Croatian thief quickly found the German occupation forces and returned to the house with 70 fully armed German soldiers.

The desperate British lurkers were eventually shot dead in a fierce gun battle. The rest knew that they could not escape death, and eventually detonated the explosives and chose to commit suicide to reduce their pain. I guess they would never have thought that when they died, they betrayed them, they were a local or a thief.

Of course, the battle broke out during the German army's southward journey. The Yugoslavs' resistance was very tenacious. Although they had lost a lot of weapons and equipment in the fight with the Italian army, they still bravely launched an attack on the German armored forces for their hometown.

They hurriedly organized a defense line, dug trenches and reinforced some machine gun bunkers, but when the magnificent body of the Leopard tank appeared on the battlefield, the Yugoslavs still retreated. They were no longer facing the Italians with strong firepower but extremely chaotic firepower, but rather organized the perfect German troops. The Stuka bombers descended from the sky even dared to drop bombs dozens of meters in front of the German team. This terrible attack cooperation was unbearable by the Yugoslav army no matter how it was.

In the sky, above the clouds, a Stuka dived down, followed by the second and third, and finally ten or even twenty. These aircraft, which were already slightly outdated, have rejuvenated their second youth in the backward land of the Balkans. Here they approached the ground targets unbridledly and used the most precise throwing method to destroy all the targets they saw. Yugoslavia's ground air defense firepower was weak and scattered, and could not affect the combat operations of German aircraft.

The friendly welcome ceremony no longer appeared, but fleeing civilians crowded on both sides of the road. They watched the German armored combat vehicles whizzing past and rolling up dust. The first thing that appeared before people were the wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles of the German armored troops, which were the vanguards of the German tank troops. Accompanied these armored vehicles, one after another, a truck filled with grenadiers and T-26 tanks covering the trucks. These troops did not stop at all and ran forward to chase the defeated Yugoslav regular army.

"Hey! Does anyone know German?" A convertible bucket car stopped by the side of the road. A German captain stood up and asked the terrified Yugoslav refugee on the side.

No one answered him, and everyone looked at the German who stood up and called out to them with indifferent eyes. Someone saw the German guard in the co-pilot holding an assault rifle, and the few civilians who were afraid that the German army would suddenly kill people would take two steps back to the crowd.

"Does anyone know how to go to the next town, that is, the town with a bridge?" The German official seemed not giving up and shouted again. It seemed that his efforts were still futile, because no one answered his question.

"Damn it! No one of these people can speak German." Not all invasions can be prepared thoroughly. The long-term cooperation between the German army and the Soviet Union has led to many Russian-speaking people in the German team. At the same time, because the European region is not vast, French and English are relatively popular languages. Moreover, because Germany's rise once, there are also many people who speak German.

This gave the German invasion a certain cultural foundation: many Germans speak foreign languages, and they can ensure that each unit is equipped with qualified translators, and some carefully planned attacks and even language preparations have been popularized to the platoon and even squad level. But obviously not many Germans speak Serbian, at least not many in this German armored force.

The German captain finally gave up the inquiry and rushed from behind and parked in an armored vehicle beside him. A commander took off his headphones and was waiting for the captain to assign him a new order. He turned his head and looked at the commander and said, "These people are obviously unwilling to cooperate with our actions. There is no way, we can only find a place ourselves."

"Captain, I search for 7 kilometers eastward and continue to southward." The captain of the armored vehicle nodded and replied, "Until I see the river, then I return westward along the river. If I find the target town, I will inform all the nearby troops."

"Okay! I continue to move forward along the road! Maybe I can find something!" The captain reluctantly agreed to the commander's plan. The commander performed a random traditional military salute, then patted the iron sheet of the turret, and issued an order on the throat telephone: "Turn left and search eastward."

The armored vehicles sprayed out black exhaust gas and filled everyone. The quality of gasoline in Germany has never been too high. After all, Germany is still a country that lacks oil reserves, so everything has to be saved. Even the tank troops, which are regarded as a trump card by German senior management, have to use gasoline engines because of the lack of oil, not to mention the reconnaissance forces that are equipped with armored forces.

The German barrel car also started. With the roar of the engine, the two German vehicles parted ways. One car continued to drive south along the highway, and the other armored car drove off the highway and left the distance along another earthy road.

"These Germans are more polite than our own troops." A woman muttered with a package on her back, looking at the German vehicles leaving. This team of refugees had just been robbed by a Yugoslav army not long ago. They handed over their property and had a lot of food to drive away the defeated Yugoslav army.

"Shut up!" an elderly man snorted: "These people are all invaders no matter how they say! We can't have anything to do with them! We continue to rush and don't cause trouble! Do you know?"

In fact, there are people in this team who know German. The old man can speak some German language, but they are unwilling to cooperate with the German team, so they pretend not to understand German, and based on the principle that it is better to have less than more things, they do not chat with each other. In the war, there are not many people who stand up and fight to the death, and those who surrender to the enemy and treason are also a few. Many ordinary people actually just live a similar life in their daily lives. The only difference is that some of these ordinary people flee because of the war, while some of them become deceased because they are unable to leave their hometowns.

They will not choose to support the invaders, or even cause trouble for these invaders to the best of their ability - they are not active in their work and live in a daze all day. But it is absolutely not daring to let them take up weapons to resist. They have their own life, and as long as the peace is not broken, they will survive. This is not unpatriotic, but an inevitable trajectory of an ordinary life.

What prompted the common people to really embark on the road of resistance was cruel oppression. Akado knew this deeply through the experience of later generations, so he tried his best to avoid oppression. If he had to do so, he chose to differentiate and oppress a small number of people. He gave most people hope, so most people chose to live safely. Resistance must exist, but was compressed to a small range that could be tolerated.

So in the Balkans, the Germans brought out this theory and handed over the difficult stubborn elements to the Italians to manage, dressing themselves up as a good man, making the locals feel that the Germans are the saviors and the liberator who led them out of the sea of ​​suffering.
