In any case, Turkey's defection undoubtedly made the German army's already overstretched forces more and more insufficient, and in this case, the mustache was forced to voluntarily abandon all the land occupied by the Soviet-German war and the puppet state of Romania, retreat to the strong defensive line that had been built before the Soviet-German war to prevent the Soviet army from continuing to advance westward, and in the south, he used the terrain in the mountains of Austria and Hungary to block the northward advance of the Balkan Federation, thus completely turning into a defensive position on the eastern front.

The Soviet Union, which was able to recover a large part of the "lost territory" without a fight, and the Balkan Federation, which easily took Romania, naturally picked up the bargain, but because the German army retreated on its own initiative, it carried out a relatively complete destruction of various local infrastructure, and also swept away all the high-value talents and caused a large-scale murder again, which made Stalin and Tito grit their teeth with hatred.

And the mustache also left a time bomb by the way, because the Balkan Federation was not a "beaten" Romania, but purely "stained with the light of the Soviet Red Army" (at least the Soviets thought so), so the Soviet government refused to let Romania be incorporated into the Balkan Federation according to the original secret agreement, but used Romanian public opinion to help it establish an independent socialist regime, which naturally made Tito extremely dissatisfied, although for the overall situation of anti-fascism, and the fear of the Soviet Union's strong national strength and big brother statusTito eventually recognized the Socialist Republic of Romania, but this thorn was deeply rooted in his heart and difficult to pull out

The abandonment of large areas of occupation was undoubtedly a huge loss, but it would not require so many troops to be sent down to "maintain law and order", and the tighter and stronger defensive line would greatly reduce the use of troops. As a result, Germany freed up nearly a million mobile troops. Therefore, Germany not only easily suppressed the rebellion launched by the Italian anti-fascists, but also drove the Allied troops who took the opportunity to land in Italy from the Mediterranean, and the Allied forces in the Iberian Peninsula soon retreated to a corner of Gibraltar, and Portugal also established a fascist regime again, and carried out a brutal purge in the country. During this period, more than 300,000 Allied troops were killed or captured, a sad news that Roosevelt and Churchill fully realized that Germany, although it was not as good as it used to be, was still not an easy way to defeat.

Due to the deterioration of the war situation, the mustache no longer had illusions about Britain's withdrawal from the war, so he finally decided to deal a bigger blow to him. So a V-3 missile with a nuclear yield of 20,000 tons flew to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. As a result, nearly 150,000 people were killed, of which more than 100,000 died on the spot or within a month of the explosion. Otherwise, the number of casualties will only be more staggering. Important figures such as Churchill and the British royal family are also likely to be unable to escape this catastrophe

In order to avoid the British government succumbing to German coercion. Roosevelt immediately ordered retaliation against German cities, stimulated by previous German nuclear torpedo attacks, before the US government's ability to industrially produce nuclear weapons was formed. He continued to produce atomic bombs by using laboratory methods to produce atomic bombs by laboratory methods, and by this time he had saved up two more and could use them.

However, after Germany reduced its forces, its air defense strength was also strengthened to a certain extent, and as a result, even though the United States increased the intensity of conventional strategic bombing to secretly cross Chencang, it was still beaten down by the Germans halfway, but fortunately, one of them finally succeeded in flying over Duisburg, an important industrial city in Germany, and dropped an atomic bomb

Although the cities in Germany have long begun to build civil air defense projects, the atomic bomb still killed more than 100,000 civilians in Duisburg, and the industrial facilities in the city have also suffered serious damage, even though many important factories have been dispersed to other cities in advance, or moved underground, but Duisburg, the center of the German steel industry, was hit hard, and still caused Germany's steel production in 1948 to drop by more than 20% compared with the previous year, which was already very difficult for Germany. It was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow

The American atomic retaliation against Germany not only emboldened the British, but also encouraged the Soviets (and at the same time became more eager to show strength and compete for credit), but before the main forces of the Soviet army in Western Ukraine and Western Belarus had completed preparations for another full-scale offensive, Stalin received the bad news that made his face pale, "Countless Chinese troops have marched into the Mongolian People's Republic!" ”

Due to the rise of China and the difficult situation of the Soviet Union at the beginning, Stalin even thought of taking the initiative to return Outer Mongolia to China, and even now, if the Chinese government makes this request through diplomatic channels, Stalin is likely to agree to it in order to counter the West after the war. However, the Chinese government's approach of "taking things without telling them" made Stalin realize that the goodwill shown by the other side towards the Soviet Union in the past few years was completely disguised, and that they obviously harbored deep vigilance and hostility towards the Soviet Union in their hearts, and that under such circumstances, if Outer Mongolia were to be taken back by China, it would seriously threaten the security of the Soviet Far East and even the entire Siberia.

But even so, Stalin immediately ordered that the Soviet troops stationed in Outer Mongolia should not fire at the Chinese army, because at this time almost all the Soviet troops were transferred to the Western Front, and in the vast land from Central Asia to the Far East, there were only less than 200,000 regular troops stationed in total, and there were hardly any regular air force units except for those aviation schools. Moreover, if the Soviets fired first, it would give the other side an excuse to expand the war, so Stalin's idea was to temporarily back down to buy time for the main Soviet forces to move eastward.

However, because of the lessons of the early days of the Soviet-German war, the authority of the Soviet border guards has been greatly expanded, and with the incredible and substantial expansion of the Soviet army in recent years, the quality of personnel, especially the organization and discipline, has decreased significantly compared with the beginning. The Chinese Government, which had received an excuse, immediately warned in a righteous and stern manner: "The Chinese Government expresses its strong protest and indignation at the aggressive act of the Soviet troops brazenly firing at our troops on our territory, and hopes that the leaders of the CPSU will remember the teachings of Comrade Lenin and not go further and further down the evil road of 'social imperialism'!"
