Bulgaria has replaced a new ambassador who is fully pro-Germany, which is also expected by the Germans. If they still don’t know how to advance or retreat at this time, then Poland’s fate will be a role model.

Bulgaria is a standard Slavic nation-state, and because of its geographical location, few European countries have focused on it except for its long-time Balkan enemies.

Bulgaria was a fenceist in history. That year, the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III (the third Bulgarian Kingdom was independent in 1908, and the Bulgarian Prince was upgraded to the Bulgarian Tsar, and Boris III was the second generation.) agreed to turn to Nazi Germany because the latter had already taken over the Balkans and was willing to return the occupied territory in Bulgaria in previous wars to Bulgaria. Historically, Hitler did fulfill his promise, and Boris III also won the title of "Liberator".

However, when Bulgaria joined the Axis power, it only sent a limited number of troops to participate in several German military operations, and for most of the time it only opened the borders and railways for the German army to use. Moreover, when the Eastern Front War broke out, the Tsar refused to send troops to participate in the German invasion on the grounds that the Bulgarian people were also Slavs. At the end of the war, after the Soviet army on the Eastern Front began a full-scale counterattack, facing the Red Army crossing the defense border, the Bulgarian army only resisted in a few areas, and most people chose to welcome the road, and then a bloodless coup occurred in the capital. The Bulgarian army turned the gun without hesitation and started a war against its original ally Germany. Therefore, in Xu Jun's strategic layout, this country is a weak point that needs to be paid close attention to among a bunch of Balkan slags.

Witnessing Germany's victory in the European War, the attitude of the Bulgarian government towards Germany can be said to have changed by 180 degrees. The Tsar once said, "My officer group is pro-Germany, my people are pro-Russia, the middle class is pro-English and French, the queen and prince are pro-Italy (Queen Anna is an Italian princess), and only I and the parliament support Bulgaria." Now the Bulgarian officer group has reached a unified political will of the middle class and royal members, that is, to join the German-led European Union, and several major Bulgarian interest groups are tied together, which is something Hitler could not do in history.

Just based on the current performance of the Bulgarian government, they call them German hardcore dogs, which is not at all. However, compared to the government and the military, the Bulgarian people's attitude towards Germany is relatively plain. The Bulgarian people's tradition of being close to Russia cannot be reversed in one or two years.

This is an agricultural country in the traditional sense. Even weapons cannot be produced by themselves. Most industrial products need to be imported from abroad, and the payment for goods is deducted by wealthy agricultural products. But such a country that is almost completely dependent on Germany economically has been engaged with Britain and the Soviet Union in history. Xu Jun was surprised that Hitler could tolerate this country for so long and did not stew it with Romania.

This time, the envoy sent by the king to the Prime Minister's Office with the ambassador, a Bulgarian army colonel named Christo Petrov. The envoy brought the sincere greetings and blessings from the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III to the head of the empire, and the Tsar expressed his honor to receive the invitation from the head of the head of the empire, and he would take his wife, Queen Joanna, to attend the victory celebration held in Berlin during the New Year on time.

The Italian king signed a secret contract with Xu Jun. I don’t know what he wrote in his letter to the princess’s home. Now the Bulgarian queen is full of affection for the new German head of state. Of course, the head of state’s handsome appearance has also added a lot of points to him.

Boris III is an avid train fan. He is not the kind of train house squatting in the backyard of his home to play railway models, but the kind of high-end players who like to operate physical objects on site. It is said that the king once asked the "Oriental Express" company to issue a special notice, requiring international trains to pass through Bulgaria to prohibit the king from approaching the cab. In addition to driving the train himself, he also likes to collect locomotives, but for a king, this is also a harmless hobby.

Xu Jun prepared a gift for the king, a brand new RB50 locomotive, and in order to meet the other party's royal identity, the locomotive was carefully decorated. Xu Jun had never seen the real thing, but after seeing the photos, he felt that there were parts with precious metal coating and polished everywhere.

The RB50 is the best steam locomotive in Germany and the main force in railway transportation in the Third Reich. Since its birth in 1939, Germany has produced thousands of these steam locomotives at this time. In history, this model of standard locomotives was produced in total. In the late 1940s, this series of locomotives were everywhere on the railways of Europe and the Soviet Union. Democratic Germany was used until the late 1970s, and its improved version was even sold to China by Romania.

Xu Jun put forward some opinions on the German railway system, but this system is too big and too precise. It can be said that it can affect the whole body with one blow, so it can only be improved step by step. Germany's railway transportation system is quite developed, but in history, the railway capacity in Germany has been very short of, and it is often in overload operation.

The railway gauge problem on the Eastern Line seriously restricted Germany's railway capacity in the Soviet Union, which even directly affected the German army's campaign operations. The front line was often in a dilemma of shortage of supplies, while a large number of urgently needed parts and supplies were piled up in the military stations of various railway hubs. This situation must be changed, otherwise history would not have happened again.

Germany needs to produce the RB52 war locomotive that has proven its value in history as soon as possible. This is a wartime simplified version of the RB50 locomotive. The RB52 simplifies the vehicle structure, uses a large number of cheap materials, and reduces the difficulty of the process. In addition to reducing a large number of valuable working hours, it also allows ordinary skilled workers to participate in the processing. The most important and special advantage of this locomotive is that it can withstand the terrifying low temperatures on the Eastern Front and can operate normally at extreme temperatures of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. After the war, a large number of German RB52 locomotives were retained by the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.

In addition to locomotives, the German army also needed a general freight chassis, which could quickly replace the load-bearing wheel axles to adapt to the unique gauge used by the Soviet Union (the Soviet Union used a wide rail of 1520 mm, while the general gauge of Europe was 1435 mm.). This practice is very common on future international trains. With the help of special machinery, it only takes more than ten minutes. In this way, when the German army counterattacked Soviet territory, it could directly use the Soviet railway network without laying new tracks, which could save a lot of resources.

The Soviet army may also destroy the railway system after failure. As they often did in history, Germany could only re-lay the railway tracks. In this way, Germany needed to prepare a complete set of modern railway machinery, which could quickly lay the railways on the front line and repair damaged lines during combat. Germany could also make some improvements in building materials, such as using prefabricated cement sleepers, which can be standardized on-site on the front line, and it is also convenient to replace them after damage.

Saying the Bulgarians away, the head of state walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window on the north side of the office. The secretary quickly pressed the switch on the wall. Amid a faint sound of electric motors, the thick curtains slowly pulled aside. This was a fashionable invention at the time, and the head of state of the empire had always stood at the forefront of the times.

It was almost lunch time, and the head of state did not leave the Bulgarians to have dinner at the head of state's restaurant, but they were invited to attend the dinner held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that night. The sun shone on the gradually yellow lawn, and a team of guards led huge military dogs and patrolled the garden path. Xu Jun did not think anyone could escape a bunch of peripheral sentries and sneaked into the heavily guarded building unless it was a guy wearing a blue tights and a round shield.

The head of state with his hands behind his back, staring at the pool in front of the office in a daze.

"Willer." He suddenly summoned his staff.

"At this, my head." The Army Lieutenant General replied immediately.

"It's okay this afternoon, let's go to the city to have a stroll." The head of state breathed out, and then said in a calm tone.

"As for the order, I will arrange it immediately, my head of state." Weirle nodded and took the order.

"Oh?" Xu Jun turned around in surprise. The other party agreed so happily. Could it be that the position he usually opened was wrong?

"Is there anything else? My Head of State." Weirle looked into the head of state's eyes.

"Aren't you going to dissuade me?"

"Will it work, my head of state?"

"No, Weirle." Xu Jun nodded to the Chief of Staff with an elegant posture, and then turned his gaze back to the garden.

"Then just wear plain clothes, Weirles."

"Okay, no problem, my head of state." Weirle looked at the head of state's back and respectfully bowed to agree.
