Compared with Japan, the Krim of the Arab Federation now has no pressure to fight externally, even if it is only defensive, but internal stability is a greater challenge. In order to concentrate Liliang on turning West Asia into a stable and reliable rear as soon as possible, Kerim even secretly reached a compromise with the Soviet Union and abandoned the previous ongoing subversive activities against the Iranian regime, while the Soviet government agreed to withdraw its Shili from Iran as a buffer zone between the two countries, and the Soviet government also promised that as long as the UAE forces did not directly participate in the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the UAE would not be regarded as an enemy country, and if the UAE government requested, The Soviet government could also mediate between itself and the United States and Great Britain

Although the mustache knew that at least until the industrialization of North Africa was complete and the situation in World War II changed significantly, Kerim could not help but curse when he learned about it. However, in fact, the damage done to German interests was more harmful to his other allies, but the mustache was far from fully aware of it

Germany's successive victories on the Soviet-German battlefield were mostly of little practical benefit to its allies, and the main reason why Romania and other Eastern European countries followed Germany in an active anti-Soviet campaign was for their own national security. You must know that the contradictions between these countries are also very large, but now they can unite to fight against the Soviet Union, which shows how much pressure the Soviet Union, or Russia's "Great Slavism", has caused to these countries.

However, the Axis brothers in Eastern Europe were anti-Soviet. However, the combat effectiveness is really limited, not to mention that the mustache is not a generous master, except for Romania, which recovered part of the lost territory that was "occupied" by the Soviet Union in the war, other countries basically failed to obtain any substantial benefits. Only Turkey, which is not weak in national strength and also has a strategic resource chromite, received special treatment, and the mustache made a special promise to the Turks that all the Soviet lands seized by the Turkish army during the war would be owned by Turkey. With such a tempting bait in front of you, and a centuries-old feud between Turkey and Russia, it goes without saying that their enthusiasm is high.

However, positivity does not exactly equate to combat effectiveness. The bait is delicious. You have to have the ability to swallow it. Although Turkey intensified its attack on the Soviet Union in 1943, they had no choice but to encounter the Caucasian Front, which is probably the strongest fighting force of the Soviet Union today, and there was the most well-manned steppe front behind them to support at any time, not to mention that the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet army was not comparable to that of the German army. But it is still much stronger than the Turkish army.

Outcome. It's like "sending your face to the door". A large number of Turkish troops who invaded the Soviet Union again were quickly pulled back, and in that year the Turks had 150,000 killed, missing, and captured no less than 100,000 of them, while they killed and wounded less than 200,000 Soviet troops. Of these, fewer than 50,000 have been permanently reduced. If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet-Turkish border was all rugged and mountainous terrain that was not conducive to the offensive, the Caucasian Military District would also be seriously short of supplies and fuel (all priority would have been given to the northern front, especially after the transfer of the air force of the Caucasian Military District to the north. I'm afraid that the Soviet army has already pushed back to Ankara, the capital of Turkey

After repeated defeats, the Turkish government finally realized that no matter how difficult the Soviet army was, it could never win, so it no longer took the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, but continued to strengthen the defense line in the northeastern mountains, in case the Soviet army slowed down and attacked itself first.

But even in this case, the Turks did not forget to pick up the bargain, and after annexing Greece, they set their sights on the small country of Albania. The reason why Turkey chose Albania as the next target of annexation is that considering the geographical location of Albania is very important, and it can control the exit of the Adriatic Sea by occupying it; The second is that Albania is also a predominantly Muslim country, which may be easier to digest after annexation; The third is that the country has a population of no more than one million, and it seems to be easy to conquer

However, although Albania has a small population, it has a glorious tradition of resisting foreign aggression, especially the Turks, who have been bitter enemies for centuries, which makes the whole country hate the enemy. Under these circumstances, how could Turkey, which is not even a second-class power, be able to conquer Albania, which was never conquered at the height of the Turkish Ottoman Empire?

In the following years, although Turkey wiped out more than 100,000 regular army and militia guerrillas in Albania, and massacred a large number of local civilians to intimidate, causing the population of Albania to drop to 30% of the pre-war period (Note 1), it was still unable to conquer this tenacious country, but instead suffered more than 500,000 casualties and was so badly injured that even the Greek uprising could not be suppressed, forcing the mustache to send troops to wipe the ass of this "ally", and Turkey's help to Germany. That's all that chromite is left

What is even more unwilling to be lonely than the Turks is the Italian Mussolini regime, which has in fact become a puppet of Germany, and the trouble caused by spaghetti to Germany is far greater than that of the Turks

Although it became a puppet state, objectively the original civil war also eliminated a large number of incompetent but occupied the position of middle and senior officers, which improved the atmosphere of the Italian army, coupled with the strict training of the Italian army by the Germans, the Italian army is now much stronger than before the civil war, and Mussolini, whose appetite has increased greatly, soon set his sights on the small but decaying and backward kingdom of Yugoslavia. As a result, the Italian army, which was much stronger than before, fared much better than it was in history, and succeeded in forcing the Yugoslav government to surrender without asking the Germans for help, but this gave Tito's Yugoslav Communist Party a good opportunity to develop

Note 1: Some of them fled abroad, and the actual number of deaths was far less than 70%, and a considerable part of them were fierce infighting between the Arbanian Republic, which died in the main battle, and the Albanian nationalists, who were mainly Muslim religious Shili, but in any case, this country suffered the greatest loss of human life during World War II (proportionally), and none of them (to be continued......
