One thousand and four. Turning
The situation in the world has changed a lot.
Italy's government took the lead in a change, with the pro-German faction coming to power. The New York stock market and the housing contract market collapsed, countless people's hard-earned savings came to naught in an instant, and a new round of terrible economic crisis began to come uncontrollably. A large number of factories went bankrupt and closed, and a large number of workers lost their jobs.
This was an even more terrible economic crisis than the one in 1942, and even war could not solve it.
And in June 1966, something even more shocking happened, and Vritoyav, who had just been appointed as the new prime minister of Russia, announced his withdrawal from the Allies and the war.
This is something that caught the allies led by the United States by surprise.
The U.S. government lobbied urgently, but the Russian government was determined to refuse to let Russia get bogged down in war again. Fritoyav ordered all the armies of the front to cease any military operations and retreat into Russian territory in an orderly manner. Not only that, but all the German cities that had been occupied by the Russian army were withdrawn by Russia, and Germany effortlessly recovered these cities, alleviating their situation to the greatest extent.
Moreover, Fritoyav also gave a secret order to those Russian soldiers on the front line, once the Allies decided to take action against the Russian army and prevent the Russian army from leaving the battlefield, then they could resolutely return fire without asking for instructions, and at the same time, they could also ask the German army for help.
Despite the lack of an alliance, Fritoyav was firmly on the side of Germany......
Russia's withdrawal from the war has significantly changed the situation of the German army. They can now use all their armies without having to worry about that massive polar bear.
In the same month, the Republic of Ukraine was formed. Marshal Kolkorok became the first president of the republic. Germany and Russia have recognized the Republic of Ukraine one after another, and it is more gratifying that Russia does not blame Vritoyav for this, perhaps in their opinion, Ukraine's independence is an unstoppable fact.
On June 3, Ukraine and Germany concluded the German-Ukrainian Kiev Treaty, and the two sides reached an agreement on political, military, and economic issues and formed an alliance. This was called the birth of the new "Axis powers".
Germany is not alone in the fight anymore......
After the conclusion of the German-Ukrainian Kiev Treaty, Turkey and Iran, Germany's traditional allies, experienced domestic political turmoil. At the behest of Sultan Karami, the already powerful pro-German faction in Turkey staged a coup d'état, arrested the American-backed Prime Minister Yamalik and appointed Miliva, the staunchest pro-German faction and former comrade-in-arms of Baron Alexon, as Turkey's new prime minister.
A new Turkish cabinet was formed.
Prime Minister Miliwa immediately announced Turkey's secession from the Central Powers. Re-establish an alliance with Germany. Officially joined the ranks of the Axis powers.
The Turkish army soon ordered that all allied forces in Turkey must leave the country, and at the same time ordered the army to be ready for battle. After the arrival of the allotted time, if the Allies did not carry out the orders of the Turkish government, then they had the right to shoot at any enemy they saw.
Although such an order was given, the young Zhuang faction in the Turkish army could not wait. As a traditional ally of Germany, the Turkish military made an unwise choice to join the Central Powers and fight against Germany, which also aroused unanimous opposition from the Young Zhuang officers. These officers, who graduated from the Turkish High Military Academy, have never forgotten. In the most conspicuous place in the school, a picture of a person is hung unanimous:
Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Brahm!
This baron is known as the father of the new Turkish army. In the Second World War, it was he who single-handedly restored the Turkish Sultan Karami to the throne and helped Turkey build a new army.
Most of these young officers graduated from the legendary story of Baron Alexon...... The respect they had for a German baron is hard to imagine......
After the outbreak of the war, the U.S.-backed Turkish Prime Minister Yamalik came to power, and they deceitfully detained the German commander-in-chief in Turkey, General Wale, and launched a surprise attack on the German army in order to disarm the German army.
But the officers of the Young Zhuang faction did not carry out this order of the Turkish government...... They besieged the Germans in several cities, but did not attack at all until the American troops landed in Turkey...... The Turkish Young Zhuang officers quickly reached a secret agreement with the German commanders, and the Germans announced that they had laid down their arms and surrendered, and they were taken to the so-called "prisoner of war camps" where they were protected......
The Turks refused to hand over German prisoners of war and weapons to the American army, believing that they were capable of "detaining" these "prisoners......
Neither the Americans nor Flaxik could do anything about such a situation...... They were reluctant to provoke a mutiny by force......
However, the situation has completely changed now...... Turkish Sultan Karami and former Prime Minister Miliwa returned to power in Turkey, and the pro-German faction took full control of the country.
Admiral Wali was immediately released, and he was received by the Turkish Sultan Karami. During the interview, Sultan Karami apologized to him and said that he would release all German troops and return all German weapons.
Before the Sultan could give the order, news had already come from various places that the young Zhuang officers had released the Germans ahead of schedule and returned all the weapons that had been kept very well to the Germans, including ships, artillery, tanks, and airplanes.
The German-Turkish forces attacked the Allies before the time set by the Turks...... Especially the vengeful officers and men of the German army, who had never suffered such a disgrace, had to be washed away with the blood of the enemy......
To some extent, the situation is not even under the control of the Turkish Sultan......
The cry of "Long live Baron Alexon" resounded on the land of Turkey, a strategically important country, back into the arms of the Axis powers......
"Look. The soldiers didn't want to hear from us at all. Sultan Karami was not angry at the change, but smiled: "However, I can fully understand the feelings of the officers and soldiers......
"Yes. I can understand ......" Admiral Vali smiled, "Sometimes, it's always necessary to give them a little more freedom. ”
"Your Excellency, General, a call from Germany." At this time, Turkish Prime Minister Miliwa said.
Admiral Wall-E straightened his uniform and took the phone: "I'm Wall-E, yes, I've been released...... What the? Field Marshal Ernst? ”
Admiral Vali stood up: "Marshal, it's great to hear your voice again...... Yes. They didn't abuse me...... Yes, all the Germans were released, and all our weapons were returned...... It's good. I will personally go to the front to command these armies...... Well, I'll be waiting for you...... Marshal, allow me once again to express my excitement...... Long live Ernst, long live Germany! ”
Admiral Vali handed the phone to Miliva. Miliwa took the phone. Then he heard the same familiar voice:
"Mr. Prime Minister, I am Ernst. Brem, I still remember you, especially not your father, everything is in the past, and the alliance of Germany and Turkey is sacrosanct...... I hope that the German and Turkish armies will continue to win...... That's it, Miliva. I think I'll be in Turkey soon......"
"None of us can forget the baron......" Miliva put down the phone and sighed softly: "The past is gone. A new day is coming......"
A new day has actually arrived......
The Allied forces in Turkey were not very strong, and the Allies were soon forced to withdraw from Turkey under the attack of the German-Turkish forces.
However, the Turkish government did not stop there, and they quickly formed a corps of two army groups to develop Germany in order to provide the most direct assistance to Berlin in battle. Then, within a month, they would form two or three army groups to supply the German forces in the Middle East.
The seeds that were planted more than twenty years ago are now blooming again......
Germany is not alone......
The coup d'état in Turkey was accompanied by a coup d'état in Iran, and the pro-German faction also regained power. Friendship with Germany, Iran even surpasses Turkey, they are the most traditional and staunch pro-German countries. Even in the Second World War, they never gave up this faith in the face of the threat of the British army.
Iran is the new country to join the Axis Powers......
"There will be more countries that will become ...... of Germany's allies," Wang Weiyi said calmly in Berlin: "Italy, for example, will be ready at the end of this month, and they will also break away from the Allies and withdraw from the war." Ah, I think that although the United States grits its teeth, they will not use force against Italy, they do not want to open a second battlefield...... Adolf, do you think we see the dawn of victory? ”
"From the first day you returned, we saw the dawn of victory." Hitler smiled and said, "Germany has never given up, none of us have ever given up." Baron, at certain times, such a thing as faith exerts an unimaginably great force......"
Rommel nodded approvingly: "After our victory in the Second Battle of Berlin, the impact was enormous, and there were large-scale uprisings in a large number of occupied areas, and the local Allied forces were attacked like nightmares. And the newly formed corps has also been put into the front line one after another, plus the Turkish army and the Ukrainian army that are about to arrive, Berlin already has the conditions for a counterattack......"
Although the situation is still not overly optimistic, it is at least developing in a positive direction.
Especially after the US economy has been hit hard, there is already a serious disagreement within the United States about whether the war should continue.
President William was unwavering in his support for the war to continue, but how long would he be able to hold on?
Westmoreland, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in Germany, was ordered to achieve a major victory in a short time. to boost the morale of the United States and its allies, but this is not something that can be done easily.
Originally. Victory was within reach of the Allies...... There have been so many changes over the past few days......
"The Skeleton Division, the Großdeutsche Regiment, which had been fighting since the beginning of the Battle of Berlin, has been greatly replenished......," Rommel continued, "and the supplies secretly delivered by the United States and Europe have been deployed to these armies, and we expect to launch a major offensive against the Allies by mid-July......
Before he could finish his sentence, Guderian hurried in: "Ernst, Adolf. Urgent information from the front. At the end of April, the Dutch Homeland Storm Division, in conjunction with the Norwid and Steinman battle groups, launched an attack on Shmalin. The city was recaptured in early May, and the Dutch Territorial Storm Division continued its approach to Hamburg, but was strongly blocked by the Allies. had to retreat to Shmalin. And just yesterday. The Allies gathered a large number of troops and tanks, with the US army as the main combat force, and rushed to Schmalin from several directions......"
Wang Weiyi, Hitler and Rommel stood in front of the map at the same time, and Wang Weiyi looked carefully: "How is the battle going now?" ”
"Terton became the place where the fighting was fiercest." Guderian quickly replied: "It was the Steinman battle group and the British Royal 1st Division that were in defense. ”
"What troops?" Wang Weiyi thought he had misheard.
"The First Royal Division." Guderian replied very clearly: "It is the army commanded by Colonel Romeo." Originally, they were responsible for helping to defend Berlin, but after we captured Schmaling, the Royal 1st Division was transferred there at the suggestion of Queen Elizabeth in order to strengthen the strength there. ”
Wang Weiyi then understood.
This is the small amount of power that the British government-in-exile has at its disposal. Of course, their Royal Navy was not counted in it. In the summons of Her Majesty the Queen. The British Royal Navy has sworn allegiance to the Queen and has begun to attack the enemy.
However, Her Majesty's army is not very large......
"This is a very important force of the British...... Wang Weiyi said in a deep voice, "I believe that in Shimaling, there will be a fierce battle at Teton, and the 1st Royal Division will suffer heavy losses. I'm wondering, is it to withdraw the Royal 1st Division from the front? ”
"Why do you want to do this? Your Excellency? At this time, Queen Elizabeth's voice suddenly came in, and then Elizabeth II, accompanied by Prince Philip and Sir Rosen, walked into the office.
"I appreciate your concern for the British....... Elizabeth II said with a smile, "but the British are also not lacking in courage, and they are equally willing to fight to the end for their country...... Your Excellency, I hope you will be able to keep Romeo and his soldiers on the front line......"
Wang Weiyi nodded silently, yes, in such a situation, he needs all the strength he can use......
"Your Excellency, we have also formed the second and third divisions one after another." "I believe that in the future, more soldiers will join the ranks of the Second World War for Britain and Germany, and even I, a veteran of the First and Second World Wars, am ready to go back to the battlefield," Rosen said. Of course, I don't want to be a captive for the third time......"
Sir Rosen's words caused a burst of laughter. In Jazz's mind, he never felt ashamed to be a prisoner of Baron Alexon twice......
"Alright, then I'll give the order to hold on to Turton and Shmalin." Wang Weiyi had already made up his mind: "Rommel, Guderian, do we have any armament to reinforce this place?" ”
"The rearmament of the Reconstituted Großdeutschaft can be transferred." Rommel quickly replied: "But with only one Greater German Mission, I am afraid that the rescue mission will not be completed." ”
"The Royal 2nd and 3rd Divisions are ready!" Elizabeth II immediately said: "Perhaps their combat strength is not strong, but their determination and will to fight are not inferior to the German soldiers in the slightest." Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Führer, I strongly request that our troops be sent to the front. ”
Wang Weiyi exchanged glances with a few people, and then nodded: "I accept your suggestion, Your Majesty the Queen." And I will go to the front again and personally direct reinforcements to the front. ”
Everyone in the office smiled wryly...... This baron who regards war as his life...... But nothing could stop him from this determination......
"I'm going to form the Ernst cluster." Wang Weiyi, who had already made up his mind, said: "The Ernst cluster is composed of the Greater German Regiment, the British Royal Second and Third Divisions, and the Kolk Tank Assault Group has also been incorporated into my cluster. Tell Steinman, who was holding out at Teton, that he must not give up the place, and that he must hold out until I arrive. ”
"Yes, I'll give Steinman the order myself right away." Guderian was quick to say: "However, this is bound to cause a very heavy battle, perhaps with heavy casualties. ”
"This is the price we have to pay!" Wang Weiyi said calmly: "Teton will be the core of the entire battle, and will even become the precursor of a big counterattack. All of us must be prepared for this, the situation in the world has taken a major turn, and I think the war will go according to our wishes! ”
The war will be carried out according to the wishes of Germany, and Wang Weiyi and his Germany are ready! (To be continued......)
