Blaucici also admitted that it was very reasonable for Akado to say that long pain is worse than short pain. The German army emphasized quick battles and decisiveness. Even if the losses were greater, as long as the battle could end as soon as possible, the German army would pay much less.

For Akado, the troubles are not just Stalingrad. There is also one thing that upsets him, and the issue of the alliance between Germany and Turkey. Germany was eager to pull Turkey into the gang and offered many superior conditions. Now Turkey's power is infiltrating the Balkans, which once made the Balkans' security chaos.

The German Foreign Ministry had to summon Turkey's ambassador again and again, hoping that Türkiye would restrain its actions in the Balkans and at least adopt a relatively moderate ethnic policy to deal with the already collapsed Balkan social system.

The Balkans have always been a complex and troublesome region in international relations and are known as the "European Gunpowder Depot". Here, due to various historical reasons, racial issues, religious conflicts, cultural differences, border disputes, political differences and other thorny issues are both mutually influential, mixed, and incompatible with water and fire.

Turkey's infiltration of its jurisdiction into the Balkans also made the area even more chaotic. Originally, in the Balkans, the Yugoslavia region was the most concentrated and intense area of ​​contradictions and conflicts. Now, due to Turkey's extreme immigration policy, Turkey's Balkan-occupied area has become the most chaotic place in the entire Balkans.

Because the Balkans are located in a major transportation route and have always been a place where military strategists must fight for, major European countries have always paid attention to the dynamics and changes here for their own interests and actively intervened in various contradictions and conflicts. These reasons have made the Balkan ethnic issues a very sensitive regional problem. Germany and Italy have handled it carefully, but Turkey is only creating trouble with drastic measures.

If anyone wants to know how messy the Balkans are, they must first talk about the number of ethnic groups in the Balkans, and there are 8 ethnic groups in this area with a population of more than 500,000, and it seems that each ethnic group has a strong interest in ruling this area. Turkey's arrival has given one more person to share cakes, but there are fewer cakes to share, so the consequences have become very bad.

The basic order of the formation of the rebellious forces in the Balkans is as follows: the general rebels were born in the Balkans occupied by Turkey, and then they flew to the Italian-occupied areas in the Balkans to grow and grow, and then returned to the Turkish-occupied areas to make trouble.

As for the German-occupied areas, the rebels did not dare to provoke easily. After all, General Hot's troops were not idle. The rebels who had gone to the German Balkan-occupied areas and Bulgaria to fight for the autumn wind were all annihilated without exception. General Hot was happy to see what Turkey did, because after comparison, the Balkan indigenous people in his jurisdiction became much more honest because their neighbors lived much harder than theirs.

"I have also heard of Turkey's misconduct in the Balkans." Since this topic was raised, Marshal Blauxiche had to continue talking about this topic. After sighing, he said helplessly to Akado: "But it is a Turkish occupied area. We can only give a little advice and cannot interfere with the Turkish army's actions."

"Italy, Turkey... if they don't pull them into the gang, they will be pulled into the gang by the British. But if they pull them in, they can only cause trouble for ourselves." Akado felt that his allies were really annoying. When talking about these allies, he always felt like he was a kindergarten teacher who brought a group of children to play.

Italy is playing soy sauce in North Africa, Turkey is just working but not working. The northern United Kingdom can only live in the shadow of reconstruction. Vichy France can only stand behind Germany and wave the flag and shout, and then Franco's Spain... I feel uncomfortable when I think about it, so Acardo even privately and his subordinates regarded Romania as Germany's most useful ally, no doubt about it.

In addition to seeking benefits from Germany, these countries have more skill in asking for troops to help them compete for territory; blame each other within the Axis Group for their own interests; and push back and forth when the German army needs help...

"Master Blauciche, you said, why can't we have some decent allies?" Akado thought of these Axis allies and felt that he was full of complaints.

"My head of state, sometimes, our allies are not something we can choose at will. At least, for Germany, this is the case." Blauchic also curled his lips helplessly. If it were Marshal Rommel of North Africa to complain, it would probably be that the head of state and the marshal would squat together and scold Italy for the whole day.

...

Just when Acardo complained that his allies were not reliable, US President Roosevelt, who was far away from the Atlantic, was also in his wheelchair, along with his staff Marshall and Eisenhower, complaining that the US allies were really not very good.

"The list of supplies provided by the British this month is simply unbearable! Who do they think they are? Are our America still their colony? His Majesty the Emperor sneezes and we will give everything with our hands?" An official in charge of production complained to Roosevelt on his left hand.

This month, the United States and Britain were sunk 114 ships, including destroyers, but more were material supply ships. Almost two-thirds of the materials transported to Iceland and the Middle East were sunk by the Germans. No matter how rich the United States is, it is a headache for its losses.

The Middle East is not bad, because the United States has opened a very far waterway. Even though the losses are greater, the US military in the Middle East is not short of food or ammunition, but it just needs to transport heavy industrial products such as tanks from the United States. Even so, the United States has been "sinked" by German submarines and a total of 500 Sherman tanks.

Iceland is the hardest hit area. The German naval submarine force has invested a new type of submarine in Iceland. The submarine's underwater speed has caused great headaches for the US Navy, and there is no good way to deal with it now. This has also led to the German army's unscrupulousness on most routes in Iceland, with British and American transport ships suffering heavy losses, and Iceland's routes have basically fallen into a state of paralysis.

The British royal family prepared for the Iceland front-line base to counterattack the local area. Now, let alone preparing for the counterattack, even if it barely maintains, it will consume a large amount of American supplies. From food to heavy weapons, the list of demand provided by the British government to the United States makes people feel like they were robbed.

"Look at what they all want? 5,000 tons of grain! Do they have so many people eating? 15 destroyers, 1,000 fighter jets, and 20,000 tons of aviation fuel... Why don't they grab it?" The official became more and more excited as he spoke, slapped the documents in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Even faster than grabbing!" Marshall sighed and "corrected" his colleagues. Then he said to Roosevelt with a wry smile: "We must be more cautious in the supply supplies we provide to the UK. Most of the supplies have been sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Is our plan to connect to Iceland from the bottom of the sea?"

General Eisenhower has always been an American general who supports the British counterattack plan. At this time, he had nothing to say, so he had to squeeze out a sentence to deal with the accusations of his colleagues: "The supply demand proposed by Britain is based on the premise that our supplies were sunk in large quantities. In fact, their demand is pitifully small, and most Icelandic bases have stopped operating."

Roosevelt sat in the first place and had to sigh that these allies of the United States are so trash. Look at the German allies, why can each of them reflect their due value in key places?

Italy helped the German army sweep the British and American coalition forces in North Africa. The Axis powers now control North Africa and radiate to Central Africa. They are already improving their lack of rubber raw materials.

Turkey was in the four battles, blocking the Soviet Black Sea Fleet and threatening the security of the Central and Northeast China. This Middle East scoundrel had almost 1 million troops, and whether it was heading north or south, it threatened the strategic location of the Allies.

Let’s look at Spain in Gibraltar, Romania in the oil-producing area, Vichy France, which began to transfusion blood to Germany, and northern Britain in the north that was preparing to take over the British heritage. Why are there none of the outstanding allies from the United States?

The more Roosevelt thought about it, the more angry he became. He almost threw the documents in his hand, and someone pushed him back into the wheelchair. Because his hand was a list of allies asking for help, and various types were simply a bunch of death-demanding talismans.

On the Soviet side, the United States required 1 million tons of fuel, 3,000 advanced Sherman tanks and 5,000 armored vehicles within 6 months. What's even more terrifying is that the Soviet Union hopes that the US military will urgently provide air force equipment: a total of 5,000 advanced fighter jets, and 500 large transport aircraft...

Roosevelt wanted to grab Stalin's collar and ask the other party carefully. He spoke so hard, did his parents know that he had such a lion? The United States provided a lot of aid to the Soviet Union, but what was the result? The Soviet army is now fighting hard in Stalingrad, and there are at least 108,000 miles away from defeating Germany.
