In desperation, Turkey had no choice but to increase troops in the border areas, hoping to break the current stalemate with its superiority in troops. On the other side, Turkish diplomats began to make frequent contact with the German Foreign Office, threatening Germany with the monopoly of the Middle East, forcing the German army to quickly send troops to help Turkey stabilize the southern front.

The crushing defeat of Army Group G on the Eastern Front was still vivid, the German army had not yet recovered, and the two armies of O and P were forced to start moving to the front before they were formed. In this case, the Third Reich really can't spare troops to help Turkey clean up the mess it is in. So Ribbentrop appeased Turkey and tactfully conveyed the hope that Turkey would hold out alone for three months.

"Hah! Do they Turks think that everyone in the world is at their service?" Accardo, dressed in a black SS uniform with the Iron Cross he had won during the First World War on his cuffs, looked at Ribbentrop at a meeting at the Foreign Office and asked disdainfully: "In such a moment of victory, to do such an ignorant thing, and in the end we have to help wipe their butts?"

Ribbentrop also felt that this request was simply shameless to a certain level. He stood beside Accardo, nodded slowly, and only spoke after Accardo had finished complaining: "My Führer, but we can't reply directly to our allies in this tone, after all, in international relations, the focus of our work is on Italy. ”

Accardo knew that the current victory situation had inflated the ambitions of many Axis powers, and they were ready to make a move to gain more benefits for themselves in the final moments of victory. But this group of fools had no idea that their actions were dragging the entire Axis powers into the abyss of defeat.

And if it weren't for standing in this position, a normal person would not be able to imagine how shameless the relationship between countries could be. It is completely impossible to deduce from the human mind here, because at this level any face and any shame has become a joke. Allies who swear to fight for you one second can reach out and ask for money the next second, and the next second they may stand in the enemy's camp and dig out the grudges from decades ago with you to "have revenge and complain"!

"We can't let these fools play like this anymore, or even if we have a chance to win the war, we'll end up dying at the hands of these insatiable guys. Accardo thought for a moment and instructed his foreign minister: "Now we should begin to prepare for the 'Greater European Union'." ”

“...... My Führer, as soon as this plan is launched, then the internal chaos of the Axis powers will start first, and this will not do us any good in our operations on the Eastern Front. Ribbentrop hastened to reply, he was really afraid that if Accardo got impulsive and ruined the good situation.

Accardo has experienced such a long baptism, naturally he is not the hairy boy back then, he still focuses on letting go of his subordinates to do things in diplomacy, and minimizes his own interference as much as in the military. This bottom line of not using laymen to lead insiders made Aka make many mistakes somewhat, and it also made him always remember not to be arrogant and point-in-command, so as to avoid embarking on the road of self-aggrandizement and final destruction.

And his self-restraint did not make him lose control of his subordinate institutions, but on the contrary, it won him an unprecedented reputation. The Führer was praised by all for his professionalism and shrewdness, and he often presented his opinions in certain directions to make everyone feel that the Führer knew almost everything, and on the other hand, he never pretended to understand the details, and made people think that he was approachable.

"Ready, do everything to lay the groundwork, go to the grassroots level of popular public opinion, trumpet the theory of Greater Europe, and foster the forces in the governments that deserve our support! Make all preparations to lay the foundation for our 'Greater European Union' plan" Accardo certainly had no intention of breaking his restraint, and he was very satisfied with Ribbentrop's efforts these days, at least on the side of Marshal Garibaldi in Italy, where German spies and diplomats had achieved great things.

This famous family, which had been devoted to the Kingdom of Italy, had now completely fallen to the Third Reich. He listened to the advice of his German staff and Rommel, and had firmly controlled the Italian power throughout North Africa.

Ribbentrop breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Accardo was not about to turn his face immediately, and he respectfully expressed his admiration for Accardo's wisdom, and offered some of his own diplomatic observations: "My Führer, you are able to suppress your anger, which is the excellent quality of a wise leader. We don't need to bother with Turkey, we can use delaying tactics to kill their excesses and buy us enough time for our own diplomatic actions. ”

Accardo took a deep breath and sighed helplessly: "Germany's geographical location is so bad that we don't even have an ally worthy of trusting our backs...... It's annoying enough to have an Italy, who would have thought Turkey would be like that......"

Ribbentrop touched his nose and smiled, knowing that this was just Accardo's complaint, because the Führer's diplomatic sense of affairs made him incomprehensible, and the situation at this moment may not have been expected by the Führer. This is the mysterious and terrifying thing about Accardo, who seems to be able to see everything that happens in the future and can take precautions against it.

So standing next to such a terrible monster, that invisible pressure is breathless. The Führer was God's gift to the German people, the hope of the entire Third Reich, and this slightly mythical rumor has been deeply rooted in the marrow, and it is all the more memorable with each glorious victory.

He had to be careful with every word he said in his presence, for it was not difficult to see from the diplomatic strategy of the whole empire that the Führer was not a layman—on the contrary, this man had a terrible diplomatic sense, even more terrible than any diplomat whom Ribbentrop knew.

Putting aside the fact that Turkey is going south this time, it can be seen that Führer Accardo's understanding of Turkey is far beyond ordinary people. Just six months ago, there was a lot of noise in Germany about Turkey's desire to go north to the Soviet Union or south to the Middle East, and Turkey's offer to make Turkey's entry into the war miserable. It was at that time that the Führer ended its entanglement with Turkey over the start of the war, and now, six months later, Turkey's performance proves that it is not worthy of the high hopes placed on it by the Axis powers.

It is for this reason that Ribbentrop duly shifts the subject to Italy, which has been going on relatively well lately: "The Turkish problem is in fact only slightly disgusting, and not yet out of our control. However, Mussolini's side seems to have moved bigger, and it seems that he also knows that his situation is more dangerous. ”

Accardo glanced at Pentrop and knew that the clever man was changing the subject by suddenly mentioning Italy. He is not prepared to dwell too much time on the salted fish of Turkey, as for Mussolini's recent rush to jump over the wall, it is also a good drama planned by him behind the scenes.

Given Germany's strong military strength and terrible industrial power, there were many pro-German and undefeated "traitors" in the Italian government, and Germany did not have much effort to control Mussolini's every move. Now Mussolini's chauffeur and personal secretary have taken reincarnage, and most of Mussolini's henchmen are "friends" of Gascol.

In this closed environment, which was close to encirclement, it was natural for Mussolini to be misled by intelligence and misjudge his own situation. The Italian leader was now convinced that he was at odds with the Americans, and the Germans knew nothing about it, and even assured the Americans that Italy could easily resist German pressure.

So Accardo followed up and said, "The intelligence services have reached out to the leader, and when he will start his actions is in our calculations. We started arranging it four months ago, and it is clear that with these shady means, your diplomatic mediation has been smoother. ”

Having such a boss may be the infinite expectation of all serious people who are doing their work, right? point out the direction and lay the groundwork, and then send doers to overcome the few remaining difficulties and directly complete the whole plan. Ribbentrop thought of this, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Thank you very much, my Führer! I will arrange for men to go to Italy and Turkey, and make sure that these two countries are stabilized during the time of the battle in the Middle East and the battle of Moscow." ”

"Good work!" Seeing Anna coming from a distance, Accardo knew that the meeting on the Army side was about to begin, so he ended the conversation: "Go ahead, good luck!"

"Yes, I will bring you the best!" Ribbentrop stood upright and raised his right hand: "Long live Führer Accardo?"

In the end, Turkey was unable to secure support from the German side, so plans to quickly occupy all of Syria and even control Iraq and Saudi Arabia were stillborn. The casualties on the front line can only be paid for by themselves, and the borders, where the flames of war have already ignited, are filled with the lives of countless Turkish soldiers every day. Seeing the fragile nature of the Turkish army, the United States and Britain sent an entire division of troops to the frontal battlefield, and the enemy that the Germans had to face became even stronger.
