Although Kerim is the leader of the Arab Federation, he is more of a Moroccan, although he has a tough personality, he is not completely inflexible, and after seeing that the Moroccans will inevitably shed their blood if they continue to fight, Kerim finally lowered his arrogant head helplessly. The leaders of the allies also realized that although force alone could not destroy the Arab Federation, the huge price to be paid was enough for the allies to no longer have enough strength to finally defeat Germany and Japan, so after repeated persuasion by Roosevelt, the hard-line Churchill finally agreed to make a substantial revision of the original negotiation conditions, which cleared the biggest obstacle to the negotiations between the two sides.

After some bargaining, the Arab Federation agreed to withdraw from the Axis camp, no longer be an enemy of the Allies, and allowed Allied aircraft and ships to use the airfields and ports of Morocco (limited to Morocco), but only to remain neutral and not join the Allied side in the war against Germany, which would be worthy of Germany's help to the Arab Federation over the years, and would not be accused of ingratitude.

In addition, since oil exports are the largest source of foreign exchange for the Arab Federation, Kerim firmly does not agree to stop oil exports to Germany and does not agree to stop importing industrial products from Germany, because the United States is the world's largest oil exporter, and it is constantly giving large quantities of oil on credit, even to its allies, and if it is not sold to the Axis countries, the UAE's oil can only be sold at the price of cabbage, or even at all. However, the industrialization of the United Arab Emirates has not yet been completed, and many industrial products, especially machinery and equipment, still need to be imported in large quantities. Kerim is very worried that the United States and Britain will use this to the neck of the CAE when the time comes

In this regard, Roosevelt's solution was very simple, that is, to buy Libyan crude oil at a high price regardless of the cost, and force Germany to follow suit by raising the purchase price, so as to raise the foreign exchange cost of Germany's imports of Libyan oil, and at the same time export various industrial products to the Arab Federation at the price of cabbage, so that the goods exported by Germany could not be sold in the Arab Federation at all, forcing it to use hard currency to buy oil.

With the German government's already small reserves of foreign exchange and precious metals, it can only last for a year at most to buy so much crude oil at several times the price. And now the U.S. government, which is increasingly financially strained, is not having a good time. But at least it was much better than the Germans, so this trick of hurting others and hurting themselves really made the Germans suffer a lot.

Now that Northern Europe has been liberated by the Allies, Romania is also under great threat from the Balkan Confederation forces, if the oil source in North Africa is also cut off. Germany alone has less than 10 million tonnes of annual production left in Germany, Austria and France. Even if the production capacity of coal-to-liquids is fully released. It is also difficult for the annual output of refined oil products to exceed 15 million tons, which is too big compared with the United States, an ally with an annual oil output of more than 200 million tons.

What's worse is that. Because Germany's oil supply has been far more abundant than in history, the German government, which is accustomed to a rich life, has vigorously built mechanized troops, and the navy is still much larger than in history, even if it has been greatly damaged, and the scale is still much larger than in history, coupled with the development of the petrochemical industry earlier, the German army's oil needs in this time and space are far from comparable in history, in this case, 15 million tons of oil is completely insufficient, and this does not take into account the impact of Allied strategic bombing

Of course, spending several times the price to buy oil and petroleum products that it does not need much is also a big financial burden for the US government, and when Roosevelt no longer dares to continue to press the financial oligarchy (otherwise Roosevelt will follow in Lincoln's footsteps), this burden can only be passed on to the American middle class and working families, which are relatively easy to bully, with the result that Roosevelt's domestic approval rating inevitably fell sharply, and the anti-war movement in the United States intensified

After paying such a big price, the US government naturally wanted to give the Arab Federation some eye medicine, so the US representative of the negotiators asked Kerim to accept some Jewish immigrants, although Kerim knew the notoriety of Jewish speculation and betrayal, but he was confident that he could control it, and he was afraid of the huge pressure of the allies, and finally agreed to this request.

However, since then, Jews from all over the world have poured into the Arab Federation, especially near the "holy city" of Jerusalem, which has buried a lot of hidden dangers for the Arab Federation

After stationing at the airport in northern Morocco and the port facilities in Casablanca, the Allies quickly seized air supremacy between Portugal and southern Spain, and soon facilitated the landing on the west coast of Portugal.

Although Spain was much stronger, the huge losses caused by the civil war and the wars in North Africa and Gibraltar have not been fully compensated, so Franco's army, although it resisted with the help of Rommel's army retreating north, inevitably lost a large amount of land. Although the mustache later sent more than 300,000 reinforcements and thousands of planes to push the Allies back to the narrow strip of southern Spain, Gibraltar, which had been occupied by the Allies at this time, was almost impossible to take back because of the strong fortress, and the impact was not just an extra nail that could not be pulled out of the southern tip of Spain

After the occupation of Gibraltar, the Strait of Gibraltar, the entrance to the Mediterranean, completely fell into the hands of the Allies, and the Allied fleet could penetrate deep into the Mediterranean and land on the coast of southern France and Italy.

At this time, the Turkish government, which saw that the situation was not good, was worthy of being a backbone grass, and decisively announced that it would defect and join the allies to declare war on Germany, because Turkey had fought the Soviet Union before, and did not have a great enmity with the United States and Britain, and Roosevelt and Churchill also had the intention of using Turkey to contain the Soviet Union after the war, so they agreed to Turkey's joining without putting forward any demands such as punishing war criminals, and Stalin, who had been thinking of killing Germany and turning back to solve Turkey, was angry enough.
