After a hard battle, Kerim led the army to successfully defeat the powerful French army, the number of French killed, captured and missing as many as more than 100,000, and the casualties of the rebel army also exceeded 80,000 (including Italians and volunteers), which can be called the most tragic battle since Kerim raised his troops twice, Kerim also realized one thing: as the scale of the campaign expanded, the impact of his genius command and the heroic fighting of the soldiers under his command became smaller and smaller, and the advantage of weapons, ammunition and logistics supply of the armies of the great powers became greater and greater. Therefore, for the sake of safety, in the future, the large corps should try to fight as much as possible

The new commander-in-chief was worried that the French army would be annihilated by the rebels again, and immediately after taking office, he ordered the French army in Algeria to hold all their strongholds before the reinforcements arrived, and not to go out to fight without authorization to give the enemy a chance to gather and annihilate, but he did not expect that Kerim, who had learned the lessons of the Chinese revolution, found that after the French reduced its forces and stuck to the important places, he decisively dispersed his forces and rapidly expanded his base in the vast countryside.

Although the Algerian countryside is very different from China, not only is it risk-free, but it also has a different economic component (it is mainly run on farms and pastures, unlike in China, which mainly relies on land rent). But in the absence of an enemy, the base area was developed extremely rapidly. In fact, the reason why Kerim returned immediately after the Libyan victory. It is to see that Algeria has an important condition that Libya does not have - population, Algeria has a population six times that of Libya, and is also closer to Morocco, where Kerim can only recruit 100,000 recruits if he dies in Libya, while in Algeria

By the time the second French reinforcements landed on North African soil, the Krem had liberated more than 60 percent of the population and more than 80 percent of the land in Morocco, Algeria and Libya, with a total of more than 300,000 "regular troops" and 500,000 guerrillas.

However, France's colonies in North Africa have always been managed as if they were their own country, and in no way can they sit idly by. Therefore, even if it is known that the Krim rebels are rapidly increasing in strength. The French government also stubbornly increased its troops to North Africa again, increasing the total strength of the North African army to 500,000, and Franco, who had finally completely unified Spain, also did his best to squeeze out 200,000 troops to fight side by side with the French army, plus the 300,000 troops sent by Italy to retake Libya. The total number of colonial troops that Krim faced reached a terrifying one million. Is the failure of the first uprising going to be repeated?

Luckily for you. Unlike the last uprising, when World War I had ended, this uprising began just before the outbreak of World War II, which was the direct cause of Roosevelt's victory in the 1940 U.S. presidential election. Although the mustache did not start a European war before this presidential election, as in history. Roosevelt was not able to use the threat of war to win votes for himself, but perhaps because of China's large orders to promote the economic recovery of the United States, the American economy in 1940 showed an unprecedented prosperity since the Great Depression (the country's GDP exceeded the $100 billion mark for the first time), which made Roosevelt's approval rating climb all the way, and finally won the election without suspense, becoming the first president in American history to serve three consecutive terms

After his re-election, Roosevelt, who had finally let his hands go, became increasingly hawkish, with Germany bearing the brunt of the re-election, with the former being forced to pay its debts and the latter being subjected to a tougher economic blockade. Relatively speaking, the Soviet Union was rich in its own resources after all, so the situation was fine; And if Germany wants to continue to maintain its independence, it must turn against the United States and Britain, with Germany's current strength, if the United States and Britain take the lead, then this war may be lost at the beginning, so the mustache decided to take the lead. But before that, Germany must first sweep away its worries

On November 15, 1940, Germany and the Soviet Union, despite their sharply opposed ideologies, had a common interest in opposing Britain and the United States, and finally secretly signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, which stated:

The parties to the treaty undertake not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in association with other States.

If one of the Contracting Parties is at war with a third State, the other State Party may not give any support to the third State.

The Contracting Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, oppose another State Party.

The treaty is valid for 10 years.

In addition to the non-aggression pact, the Soviet-German side signed a secret additional agreement:

In the event of territorial or political changes in the Baltic region, the northern border of Lithuania will become the limit of Soviet-German power, and in this regard, the parties will recognize Lithuanian interests in the Vilno region.

In the event of territorial and political changes in Poland, the Soviet-German rivers would be roughly demarcated by the Narev, Vistula, and San rivers. Whether it was in the interests of both sides to maintain Polish independence, and how it should be demarcated, can only be determined in the course of further political developments.

On the part of South-Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union was concerned about her land in Bessarabia (which once belonged to Tsarist Russia, but now belongs to Romania. Germany, declaring that she has absolutely no political stake in the region.

The parties will treat this Agreement as a top secret document

After signing this important agreement, the reassured mustache finally decided to launch a long-planned attack on Poland, and at 4:40 on December 1, 1940, the German army and the troops of its vassal Slovakia invaded Poland. Britain and France issued an ultimatum to Germany demanding that it withdraw from Polish territory within 48 hours. As Germany continued to insist on the offensive, Britain and France declared war on Germany on December 3, 1940. On December 17, 1940, the Soviet Union, on the basis of the secret terms of the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact and its dissatisfaction with the humiliating Riga Peace Treaty signed in 1921, sent troops across the border to recover Western Ukraine and Western Belarus west of the Curzon Line from Poland (Note 1).

Note 1: These lands were looted by Poland when the Soviet Union was first established, and tens of thousands of Red Army prisoners of war were slaughtered, but now they have been recaptured by the Soviet Union in the same way, and the "Katyn Massacre" has been created, which can be regarded as a report and a report (to be continued......
