Romanian Eagle

Eder's attention to the Finnish war situation is here now, although at most the first half is counted, and there is still the second half to watch. But where did he get so much energy and attention, he still had a lot of things to pay attention to.

For example, the North African Corps fighting in Tunisia also attracted his attention. Of course, the battle here is not as important to Romania as it is to Italy.

Because Tunisia has always been a pain in the hearts of Italians. After the reunification of Italy, the first concern was Tunisia. At that time, Tunisia was still in the Hussein Dynasty. Its geographical location was very important to Italy. As long as Italy won Tunisia, it would be able to build an iron gate with Sicily in the Central Mediterranean.

In addition to geographical reasons, Tunisia's arable land is also very important to Italy. Its arable land area has reached 9 million hectares, which is obvious to Italy, which has less land and more people. Therefore, Italy has invested a lot of energy in Tunisia. The first colonial company it formed was the colonization of Tunisia.

In the face of Italy's intentions, other countries are well aware of it, but France, which has captured Algeria, has the same intention. And no matter what France wanted to do, in 1881, France suddenly sent troops to take Tunisia, which made Italy's intentions in vain, and it also hit the heart of Italian colonization.

Now I have the opportunity to get Tunisia again. As the leader of Italy, Mussolini will not miss such an opportunity. Especially after the Italian-Romanian coalition invaded Tunisia, he naturally sent a large number of troops and materials to ensure the offensive of the army. .

Under the circumstance of strongly guaranteeing the North African Army, the materials it transported to the Italian Army in eastern Libya naturally decreased. Invisibly, the power of Italy to prepare to enter Egypt to snatch the fruit has been reduced. In fact, Italy is also clear about this.

It's just that this is a choice of two topics, either eating Tunisia alone without interference, or competing with Romania for Egypt, and it is very likely that they will not be able to compete. This question is actually very easy to do, not difficult at all.

At present, the North African Army under the command of Antonescu and Messer has arrived in Tunisia, but the French army has been under the organization of General Dashanliu, relying on the city of Tunisia and waiting for help.

In the face of the defending French army, the North African Corps currently commanded by the two has no strength to bite down on this bone, and can only wait for support from behind. In addition, in order to better besiege the city of Tunisia, the two also made a report requesting the Italian Navy to join the blockade of the city of Tunisia.

Regarding this proposal, which is likely to trigger the Italian-French naval war, I heard that the discussions within Italy were very intense, but in the end, Mussolini, the leader, decided to let the navy mobilize the main battleships to join the blockade of Tunisia, and now wait for the French army. 's reaction.

It is also worth mentioning that the island of Malta has no strength at all.

Attacks were carried out on the route from Italy to Tripoli. After Italy's continuous sea and air strikes on the island of Malta, the defending air force was considered to be completely lost. In addition, its supply fleet suffered several consecutive sea and air attacks, and also lost a lot of materials and fuel.

Although Britain and France still have a lot of military forces, they need to use a lot of places. The Western Front has to face off against the German army, Tunisia has to contend with the Roman army, and the Middle East has to face the main force of the Romanian army. So for the island of Malta, it seems powerless.

Even if you know that the location of this island is very critical, if you have no spare energy, you will have no spare energy. This fact cannot be changed. Unless a big country suddenly joins them, the result will not be changed.

At present, the most likely one to join is the United States, but the United States has been lobbying in every possible way by Britain and France, and the United States is not ready. Its President Roosevelt even privately told the British and French envoys that the United States has no strength to intervene in this war at present, and can only Provide various material support.

In fact, he is right, the United States is still in a state of semi-mobilization. At present, the only thing the US can do is the navy, but the navy alone cannot defeat the Axis camp.

As for the Army, thanks to the post-war disarmament, the U.S. Army had only a size of more than 100,000 people before. Although it has experienced several consecutive military expansions, the U.S. Army is now tens of millions, and most of them have just left. Recruits entering the barracks.

Everyone knows that there is no way to fight with new recruits, at least they have to be trained decently.

In addition, the United States is not willing to join the battlefield now, is it not good to consume Britain and France first. The American people have not forgotten the final result of the last war.

So in the case of having to choose not to give up certain locations, the island of Malta has become the best choice. Besides, even if they gave up Malta, the British still had Gibraltar firmly in their hands. As long as they held this place, the Italian Navy would not be able to reach the Atlantic Ocean.

In fact, for Romania, there is one more urgent matter that needs to be solved urgently. If you look at the map again, there is one place that is very conspicuous for the current Romania.

Yes, that is the Black Sea Strait. Romania has always been very tempted by this Turkish enclave in Europe. If it weren't for the need to deal with Britain and France now, maybe Romania would do it.

In fact, after Eder became the king of Bulgaria, Turkey was very wary of Romania and kept building various fortifications in this East Thrace.

However, the construction of the fortifications was returned to the construction of the fortifications. At the diplomatic level, Turkey was very friendly to Romania. Not only did they reject the intention of Britain and France to use the Black Sea Strait to make moves, but they also took the initiative to change the navigation conditions after Romania took back Western Thrace.

And given that Turkey is so knowledgeable, there is little support in Romania for the proposal to seize the Black Sea Strait. (Sometimes I really don’t know why there is such a big gap between the turkeys during World War II and the turkeys now, and they were more sober during the Cold War than they are now.)

But now with Romania on the battlefield, the proposal for the Black Sea Strait is once again being talked about. However, this time, it is not intended to use military means, but to use the principle of territorial exchange to replace it, at least to ensure that Romania has a certain degree of control over the Black Sea Strait.

In private, Romania brought this up to Turkey and first tested Turkey's reaction.

The result of the test was not bad. Turkey did not veto it, and said that such a major matter needs to be discussed.

Although it still has the intention of delaying, it can at least prove that Turkey is not biting to death for this land. What Romania took out in exchange was the area of ​​Syria that had just been captured, of course not the whole of Syria, but the central and northern parts of Syria, equivalent to two-thirds of the territory.

Of course, this is only a preliminary condition. Romania can also give more chips, but Turkey needs to do more.

However, before the Suez Canal is captured, Eder can still wait. If Romania captures Suez and the Turks have not responded, then certain pressure must be given.

But this is a matter of the future, and now we will wait for the results to come out.
