"Is this true?" Colonel Kovacevich asked hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Ribbentrop glanced and said lightly:"Of course it is true, otherwise how do you think the Royal Fleet can afford so many warships?"
"Although the colonies can contribute wealth and allow them to have money to build warships, a large amount of heavy oil is needed every time a warship is started. Do you think the source of this heavy oil comes from the British Isles?"
Most of the warships in World War II used heavy oil boilers, which mainly burned heavy oil, and heavy oil was the remaining heavy oil after gasoline and diesel were extracted from crude oil.
Of course, some of them burned coal, but that was only a small part.
At present, the oil fields controlled by the British Empire could not meet the consumption of the Royal Fleet at all, and most of the consumption came from Persia.
After hearing Ribbentrop's explanation, everyone was breathing heavily. The leader of the regiment-level guerrillas who had refused before was now regretting it. If he had known, he would not have refused so early.
"How many troops do we need?" Colonel Kovacevich frowned and asked.
"It depends on you. If you send more troops, you will get more." Ribbentrop said with a smile.
Now everyone knows that the benefits are divided according to the number of troops sent, which is good.
As long as you give them weapons, it is easy to attract people. The reason why they are so small is because they lack weapons. Otherwise, they would have raised hundreds of thousands of troops long ago.
"No problem, I agree."Colonel Kovacevich stood up first and stretched out his hand and said
"We also agreed"
"And us"
"Count us in."
The other division-level guerrilla leaders said hurriedly. This is basically a profitable business. At worst, they won't send troops if the situation is not right, and they can just develop with peace of mind.
Ribbentrop knew very well what these people were thinking, and the empire really didn't need them. How many troops could these people send together? At most 300,000, which is not enough for a battle. What
August needs is that they stop dragging their feet. As for the additional troops to divide the oil fields, it is mainly to deal with the Tuji Kingdom.
After all, this fence-sitter is too annoying. August has made a judgment. Either surrender completely or be completely defeated, and then divided into several countries. The empire only needs to control the most important strait.
"We agreed too."The other leaders of the regiment-level guerrillas discussed in a low voice and decided to unite, build a country together, and then send troops to share the benefits.
Hearing this, Ribbentrop smiled even more, not caring at all about what someone had said before.
"So, the only thing left is to divide the territory. This is the preliminary division plan drawn up by the empire."Ribbentrop took out the plan he had prepared long ago and said it.
Looking at the red line marked on the map, everyone frowned. The largest piece of land in the middle was actually empty.
"What does this mean?" Colonel Kovacevich said unhappily.
"Tito refused to cooperate with us, and we can't decide to give this land to someone. So, let's tell the truth based on our strength, and whoever occupies it will own it."Ribbentrop said with a smile on his face. Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. Although Tito's occupied territory is large, his troops are not many. What's more, the German army has promised to support a batch of weapons. They can raise a 100,000-man army at any time.
As long as everyone present unites, Tito's guerrillas will definitely be destroyed.
"I agree."Colonel Kovacevich was the first to speak up.
Since we have chosen to cooperate with the Germans, we should go all the way. Moreover, the German offensive is in full swing, so it is not a loss to cooperate with them.
"I agree too."
"I second the motion."
Soon the six plots of land that August had divided were all divided up. Five division-level guerrillas occupied five plots of land, and the last plot was equally divided by four regiment-level guerrillas.
As for the name of the country, it was up to them to decide. Once it was determined, Ribbentrop would send diplomats to establish diplomatic relations with them as soon as possible.
At this time, the six plots of land were the same, and the middle plot was equivalent to the sum of the six plots. As for how much territory they could get later, it depended on their own strength.
Ribbentrop could not help but sigh with emotion when these problems were solved so easily. August's move of driving the tiger to devour the wolf was simply too powerful.
He knew it was a conspiracy and a trap, but he still... He couldn't help but walk forward. His Majesty's grasp of people's hearts is simply perfect.
If it were him, he would probably not help but agree. As for the risks? They don't care. If there is no risk, they probably won't agree to such a project? Impossible, any high return will have high risks.
Although there is a risk this time, it is not big, because the German army shared part of the risk, so if you don't take advantage of this, you are a fool.
When Ribbentrop returned safely to Sara City, General Wright finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the negotiations would fail and Ribbentrop would not be able to come back, which would be troublesome.
"How are the negotiations going?" General Wright asked hurriedly.
"It went smoothly, everything went according to plan, and they all agreed. This is the peace treaty."Ribbentrop took a sip of water and handed over dozens of treaties.
After General Wright took the treaty, he took a quick look and looked at Ribbentrop with admiration.
"It's amazing."After watching it, General Wright couldn't help but admire it.
""All of this is the wise decision of your majesty, I am just an executor." Ribbentrop said modestly.
Although he said so, there was still a hint of pride between his eyebrows. After all, this negotiation is enough to be recorded in the history books. In the future, more people will regard this negotiation as a classic, and he can be said to be famous in history.
""Long live His Majesty!" General Wright stood and saluted to the north.
After dealing with these guerrillas, General Wright could finally sleep peacefully, no longer worrying about guerrilla raids at night.
"Next, we have to withdraw our troops. Remember to take away all the mineral resources you can. The empire needs these minerals."
"And the weapons of the infantry will be left to the guerrillas, this is what is agreed in the contract."
Ribbentrop explained carefully, but General Wright was puzzled:"Hand over the weapons? What should we do then?"
"Don't worry, His Majesty has prepared better weapons."Ribbentrop said with a smile.
The peaceful solution of the Balkan Peninsula finally made August breathe a sigh of relief. At least these 300,000 troops can be transferred to other directions, which can also relieve the pressure on other fronts.
There is no need to waste supplies in vain, and nothing can be done.
Dividing the Balkan Peninsula into six countries and letting them fall into internal strife, the German army only needs to continuously provide weapons and let them exchange resources for them, and they can eat oil in their mouths. This trick of driving the tiger to devour the wolf is really powerful.
""Only Greece and Turkey are left." August muttered as he looked at the map.
He had given up on peace talks with Turkey and was ready to resolve the issue by force. If he wanted to take down Persia, he had to deal with Turkey.
If the six Balkan countries sent 300,000 troops, plus the 300,000 German troops left behind, there was still a shortfall of 400,000 troops. It should not be a problem to gather a million-strong army to defeat Turkey.
"Why not let Greece gather 400,000 men?"
Auguste suddenly thought, but soon shook his head. The Greek army's fighting power is not bad. After all, there is still a trace of ancient Roman style. At least it is stronger than the Italian army. Although Italy claims to be the successor of ancient Rome, its fighting power is really useless. It is estimated that it can't even beat the Balkan guerrillas.
"Your Majesty, the Greek army has less than 400,000 soldiers in total. It is too difficult for them to gather 400,000 soldiers, and their will to resist is also very strong."Marshal Keitel suddenly said.
Hearing this, August said calmly:"I know what you said, but if I agree to give Constantinople to Greece, I wonder if they will follow me wholeheartedly?"
Hearing this, Marshal Keitel's mouth twitched. If the German army really helped to capture Constantinople and gave it to Greece, they would definitely follow it wholeheartedly.
After all, during the First World War, Greece beat the Ottomans to their knees and beg for mercy. If it weren't for the intervention of Britain and France and the emergence of a great man Kemal, Constantinople would have belonged to Greece long ago.
It is undeniable that only Germany and Greece are qualified to claim to be the successors of ancient Rome. The former relied on its strong strength to conquer many countries and was known as the First Empire.
Greece also relied on its own strength to beat the Ottomans to the ground, and it is also qualified to inherit the title of Eastern Rome.
Although they have been a bit wasted in the past twenty years, it is mainly because their industrial strength is weak, which leads to a certain low combat effectiveness. If August provides them with weapons assistance and helps them to achieve industrialization, their strength will definitely not be weak.
"Your Majesty, your generosity is too great. You should know the status of Constantinople in the hearts of all European and Roman people. Marshal Keitel said helplessly.
"I know, but that was in the past. Now Berlin will become the center of the entire European Rome. August said lightly.
He really didn't care too much about Constantinople. If he could make Greece follow him wholeheartedly, why not give them Constantinople?
"..You are right, Berlin will become the center of Europe."Marshal Keitel said solemnly, standing at attention.
"Let Ribbentrop go to Greece and tell him that we are willing to give Constantinople to Greece. August touched his nose and said
"The prerequisite is that they must join us and declare war on the Allies. Otherwise, we don't mind supporting another person to come to power."
"yes!"
……
Ribbentrop sighed after receiving the telegram. He originally thought he could take a vacation and relax for a few days, but who knew that His Majesty gave him another important task, to pull Greece on board.
At this time, Greece was also occupied by the German army, but the will to resist was very strong. After all, there were Spartan warriors here, so they naturally resisted the invaders.
"General Wright, I leave this to you. I have to go to Greece. Also, congratulations in advance. You will be promoted to marshal soon." Ribbentrop looked at General Wright in front of him and said with a smile.
Hearing this, General Wright was delighted, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face:"Ribbentrop, I don't understand what you said? Did His Majesty mention me in the telegram?"
He was a little curious. If he was to be promoted to marshal, the Supreme Command should send a telegram, so why would it be sent to Ribbentrop?
"Not mentioned."Ribbentrop shook his head, seeing that General Wright looked a little unhappy, and said with a smile:"Don't worry, I will go to Greece soon to persuade them to join us and send troops."
"At that time, a multinational coalition will be formed, and you will naturally be the commander of the coalition. It is not enough for a general to lead a million troops. At that time, His Majesty will naturally promote you to marshal."
Hearing this, General Wright's eyes lit up. Yes, in the entire German military system, only he was familiar with the situation here. The Supreme Command would not let someone who was not familiar with the situation to command the battle.
At that time, only he had the qualification to serve as the commander of multiple countries, and his military rank would be promoted by one level. Thinking of the marshal's baton that was within his reach, General Wright's heart was hot.
"Thank you, Mr. Ribbentrop."General Wright said excitedly.
"Don't thank me, all this is His Majesty's appreciation. In addition, you'd better train these 300,000 troops into a fierce army during this period, and then use excellent results to prove that you are worthy of the title of marshal."Ribbentrop said with a smile.
He said this to remind General Wright not to slack off in training. After all, how can you motivate him without some sweet treats?
If he can really train these 300,000 people into an elite force, he doesn't mind recommending him to the Emperor as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
Ribbentrop is still very confident in this ability.
"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint your Majesty's expectations."General Wright said loudly.
"Okay, I'll rush to the airport right away. Your Majesty is waiting for my good news." Ribbentrop didn't waste any words, and immediately waved his hand and left the headquarters.
Looking at Ribbentrop leaving, General Wright sighed, thinking of the marshal's baton that was about to be in his hand, his heart was hot, and he immediately said:"Order, from now on, all troops will immediately conduct a three-month training, and all vacations will be cancelled."
""Ah?" The staff officer was stunned when he heard the order. What on earth is this? A three-month training? Isn't this going to cost lives?
"What? I didn't understand. Go and pass on the order. I will personally supervise. If any unit dares to be lazy, don't blame me for being ruthless."General Wright said fiercely, everything is for the marshal's baton.
"Yes!" The staff officer immediately came to his senses and stood at attention._Faloo reminds you: Three things to do when reading - ∪Collect, recommend, share!
