It was obvious that no one in the room believed the Soviets' statement. After all, there was only the Black Sea between them. If they really wanted support, they could just ask the navy to send it over.

So they could tell that this was just a perfunctory move by the Soviets, and they didn't want to send troops at all.

""Assholes, we were fooled by the damn Russian bear. They actually deceived us. Don't they know that we are allies? Damn it, they would rather watch us being destroyed than send troops to help us." The president roared angrily.

However, even if they understood the sinister intentions of the Russian bear, there was nothing they could do.

Millions of German troops were attacking Turkey, and the German air force was bombing, causing Turkey to suffer heavy losses.

They couldn't stop the war and surrender to the Germans, right? Do you really think the Germans are so easy to talk to? The last Greece that offended the Germans lived a very miserable life.

A group of senior officials of Turkey believed that the revenge of the Germans would definitely make Turkey pay a heavy price.

At this time, Turkey was already riding on the back of a tiger, and it was difficult to get off from both ends. There was no way out. Surrendering to the Germans would offend the United States and the Soviet Union. If the Russian bear took Persia in a short time, it would definitely march westward. At that time, Turkey would still suffer. It would be better to go all the way now. Maybe there would be a chance to turn the tables.

"What do the U.S. military say?"The president asked again.

"Let us hold them off for now. Their navy is seeking a decisive battle with the Germans in the Mediterranean. Once they defeat the Germans, they will come to support us."The foreign minister said helplessly.

After hearing this, everyone looked unhappy. No one was reliable and no one had the intention to send troops.

"Bastard, if I had known earlier, I would have agreed to the German army's conditions." Someone couldn't help but cursed

"Well, it's no use talking about this now. Our fate is in our own hands. Let's do our best to defeat the Germans. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival."The president sighed and said

""Yes, Mr. President." A group of senior officials answered one after another, but everyone knew that it was absolutely impossible to defeat the German army.

Aidil, the 25th Infantry Division of the German Army has already captured this place. The garrisoned Tuji troops have suffered heavy losses and have withdrawn to the rear.

At this time, at the temporary command post in the city, General Lister and General Wright were looking at the map to discuss the next battle plan.

"This time we really have to thank the air force's thermobaric bombs for allowing us to take down the first line of defense so easily. Otherwise, if we only relied on infantry attack, we don't know how much it would cost."General Lister said in a relaxed tone

"Yes, especially in the subsequent street fighting, they were completely vulnerable and there was no decent resistance at all. It seems that they have been scared."General Wright also sighed

"The troops of the Chicken Country are at most third-rate. They dare to compete with us. It's simply courting death. It's unimaginable that they dare to fight back."General Lister also agreed.

Although their troops are all second-line troops, there is a gap compared with the first-line troops on the Eastern Front, but the gap is not very big.

There may be gaps in weapons and equipment, as well as logistical supplies, and the quality of individual soldiers is not very poor. In particular, General Wright's army group has replaced a batch of new weapons. The combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to the first-line troops. Looking at the world, it is also first-class.

Compared with the Chicken Country, it will only feel that the other party is just a chicken and a dog, which is really vulnerable.

""My two sirs, although the fighting power of the Tuji Kingdom is poor, it is not a good thing for us." At this time, the director of the Operations Department said with a smile.

Hearing this, General Lister also nodded and said,"It is indeed not a good thing. This will not train the troops, and it will make the front-line troops feel proud. If they encounter the enemy's elite troops, they may suffer a disastrous defeat."

""Your Excellency the Commander is right, so we will immediately issue an order to the entire army to guard against arrogance and impatience and to do our best to deal with every enemy." General Wright said with deep agreement.

"Well, we should still follow the plan, quickly defeat the Chicken Kingdom, and complete the combat mission."General Lister said

"Then, according to the pre-made plan, we should immediately launch a blitzkrieg against the Tuji Kingdom to let them know that in front of the powerful German army, their troops are just like Tuji dogs and cannot stop us at all."

"I would like to add that we must not stop until we reach the Strait, and we must attack eastwards."General Lister added with a smile.

""Yes!"

The order quickly spread throughout the army. After the first line of defense was laid, the Greek army was like taking drugs. Their combat effectiveness soared, and they attacked very quickly. They almost marched forward all the way. When they encountered the defense forces of Turkey, they launched a desperate charge without saying a word.

The Turkey thought that they had encountered the elite troops of the German army, which puzzled the high-level officials in the rear. Because according to intelligence, the German troops attacking them were all second-line troops with weak combat effectiveness. How could they have such a strong combat effectiveness?

In fact, it was very simple, because the high-level officials of the Greek army had announced the conditions promised by the German army. As long as they could reach the strait, Constantinople would be their new capital.

You must know that many people in the Greek army claimed to be the successors of the Eastern Roman Empire, especially Constantinople, which was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Now the German army promised to give them Constantinople.

It also stimulated the violence and courage in their bones. Everyone knew that as long as they could rush and fight hard, they could take Constantinople as soon as possible.

"Damn it, the German army has so many powerful troops?"The commander of the Tuji country in the rear was stunned, and there were calls for help everywhere.

"Commander, what should we do now?"Someone couldn't help but ask

""Hold it, you must hold it, and never let the German army cross the second line of defense." The commander of the Chicken Kingdom roared angrily.

If the second line of defense is lost, then the Chicken Kingdom will not be able to hold the back, because the terrain behind is very flat, which is very suitable for mechanized troops to advance.

They don't have the courage to challenge the German armored forces, so they must hold the second line of defense.

"Commander, the president sent a telegram asking us to gather our forces to defeat the advancing Germans. At this time, the communications staff came over and said loudly:

"Damn it, isn't this a mess of command? Assemble the troops? Then ignore the other lines of defense?" The Turkish commander in charge of the command said angrily.

After he finished reading the telegram, he could only sigh helplessly, because the president was wrong to say that the morale that had dropped to freezing point must be saved. If it is not saved, there is no need to fight, and they will probably surrender voluntarily.

All troops rush to Bursa, I will defeat the vanguard of the German army here." After taking a look at the map, the Turkish commander said loudly.

The arrow on the map showed that the vanguard of the German army was only 70 kilometers away from Bursa, and Bursa was also an important transportation center with a developed railway network that could quickly assemble troops. Once it was lost, Turkey could declare that the west of the strait belonged to the German army.

"yes!"

"A large number of Turkish troops were found in Bursa?" Lister looked at the reconnaissance intelligence sent by the Air Force and said with some surprise

"Large-scale? How many people?"General Wright also asked hurriedly, because the vanguard was not far from Bursa.

"The exact number is unclear, but according to air force reconnaissance, it is estimated to be at least 300,000."General Lister said in a serious tone.

""Hiss!" General Wright took a breath and said in an urgent tone:"The Turkish army is going to fight a decisive battle with us."

Hearing this, many people in the command center fell into deep thought. At this time, the German offensive was in full swing, and the morale of the rest of the vassal army also soared, and the attack was very rapid.

Fortunately, Lister learned the lessons of the Eastern Front and did not advance too fast, but took steady steps to ensure that the logistics could keep up. If the logistics could not keep up, he would order the troops to slow down. In his opinion, with the thermobaric bomb, it would not take a month and a half to defeat the Turkish army. At most one month would be enough.

"The enemy commander is not a fool. Bursa's strategic location is very important. Once it is lost, the entire west side of the strait will be ours."General Lister stared at the map and said slowly.

"If I were the commander of the Turkish army, I would definitely fight a decisive battle here, so we will face a tough battle next. If we win, there will be no war until we reach the Strait. All that remains is to consider the battle of crossing the Strait."

Many people agreed with General Lister's opinion, but General Wright saw further and said immediately:"Commander, I am not worried about the upcoming Battle of Bursa. What I am worried about is that once we reach the Strait, we cannot land without warships.���We can't swim across."

Although the strait is not too wide, it is not a big problem to swim across, but people can swim across, but heavy weapons can't. They are not equipped with amphibious tanks, and without heavy weapons, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Turkish army.

"This is indeed a problem."Lister frowned and said slowly:"The Imperial Navy has not yet defeated the US and British fleets, and cannot provide us with much support for the time being. Greece and Bulgaria are all old warships, and it is really troublesome to face the Turkish navy."

Greece also has its own navy, but they are all warships from decades ago. The remaining cruisers and destroyers were blown up by the Germans.

There are only five or six warships left, and it is really possible that they are no match for the Turkish fleet.

"Let's send out the air force. As long as we can contain the Turkish fleet, we can quickly cross the river."General Wright stared at the map and said

"But the Air Force's mission is already very heavy. If they send bombers to harass the Turkish fleet, their support for the front line will be reduced."General Lister said hesitantly.

"We can only ask the Supreme Command for reinforcements, but there will be no reinforcements."General Wright said helplessly.

There is no other way. The forces they have are too weak. If they can have one or two elite troops, this battle will be easier to fight.

"Let's try and see if we can get a jet bomber squadron. That way our situation will be much better."General Lister thought about it and said:

""Yes!"

In response to the Turkish army's gathering, the 25th Division of the German Army stopped its offensive and began to rest on the spot. In addition to replenishing supplies, it also waited for reinforcements from the rear.

Soon, the follow-up reinforcements arrived at the designated position. After the two wings were guaranteed, they attacked Bursa again.

When it was less than two kilometers away from the Turkish position, the German army stopped again. Instead of choosing to assault, it concentrated all its artillery and fired frantically at the Turkish army.

For a time, the entire outer position of Bursa was filled with the sound of artillery, and cannons of various calibers continued to fire. Although the Turkish army had assembled heavy troops here, facing such a powerful artillery attack, the losses were also very heavy.

"Boom, boom, boom! Countless shells fell into the Turkish positions, blowing the Turkish soldiers off their horses.

"God, please bless us."

"Oh God, where is our plane?"

"Damn it! Where are the artillery? Fire back!"

"Ahhh, save me, I don't want to die."

The Turkish soldiers on the battlefield were already in a mess, holding their heads and running around. The German artillery fire was too fierce.

""Sir, the German firepower is too strong. Our troops dare not fight back. Every time we fight back, we are bombarded fiercely. Often, before we reach the German position, most of us are killed. Such an attack cannot break through the German defense line." A colonel said helplessly.

The commander of the 12th Infantry Division of the Turkish Army, who was in charge of the attack, looked very unhappy. He also knew that the front-line troops were fighting hard. Although they were very brave, the Germans were too strong. Such an attack was no different from sending them to their deaths.

"What about the artillery? Why don't they fight back?"The major general asked the artillery commander loudly.

""Sir, our artillery was attacked by the German air force just after counterattacking, and suffered heavy losses. The remaining artillery can't form an effective counterattack at all." The artillery commander said bitterly.

There are only a dozen artillery pieces left, and even if they counterattack, they can't suppress it. They are even retaliated by the German artillery, so they simply don't fight back and just pretend they didn't see it.

Hearing this, the Turkish major general's heart seemed to be bleeding. The troops involved in the encirclement and annihilation operation this time are all elite troops of the Turkish army. At least 300,000 of the 500,000 are well-trained troops.

Now it seems that even well-trained troops are still vulnerable in front of the German army.

"."Damn it, where is the Air Force? Why doesn't the Air Force support us?" the Major General shouted angrily.

Unfortunately, everyone knew that the Air Force had been beaten so hard that they didn't dare to fight back.

"Sir, we can't continue to fight like this. This battle is not a fair duel at all. Our troops are not fighting at all, but sending themselves to die."The colonel said loudly.

"Bastard, do you know what our mission is? To annihilate the vanguard of the German army. If we fail, do you know what will happen?"The major general was also enraged.

To be honest, many high-ranking officials of Turkey are very regretful. If they had known that the German second-line troops were so powerful, they should have agreed to the German army's conditions.

Anyway, it means joining the other side's alliance. If they can become allies with such a powerful German army, then they will undoubtedly become the winner of this war and will also be able to obtain a lot of benefits after the war. It's just that it's too late to say these things now. It's useless now. Besides, this matter is not something they can decide.

"Sir, I know what you said, but we really don't have much confidence in fighting such a powerful German army."The colonel still did not give up and advised

"Send out the armored forces. This is our only hope. If we fail again, we will really fail."The major general said helplessly.

In the past few years, Turkey and Chicken had good relations with both sides, so they also got a batch of weapons and equipment, including German tanks.

Therefore, Turkey and Chicken actually still have a large armored force. Although these tanks are the eliminated Type 1 and Type 2 tanks, in this area, the strength of owning these tanks is not too weak.

What's more, these tanks are not given for free, they are all bought with money, and Turkey and Chicken itself is not very strong, and there is no money to buy these weapons and equipment.

"Yes!"Everyone knew that this was the final blow. If their armored forces could not defeat the German army, they could really consider surrendering.

Soon, the Turkish armored forces were deployed on the battlefield. Nearly 500 tanks attacked the German 25th Division head-on. However, these tanks were soon hit by large-scale artillery fire from the German army, and the losses were extremely heavy.

"The Turkish army actually deployed armored forces?"General Lister said with some surprise after receiving the report from the front-line troops.

"It seems that the Turkish army is really ready to fight us to the death here"

"Yes, it seems that they are preparing to fight us here. The enemy commander is quite courageous."General Wright also nodded in agreement.

"Let's send out our armored forces, let the Turkish army see what a real armored force is."General Lister ordered immediately.

Although most of his armored forces were Type 3 tanks, their combat effectiveness was definitely not comparable to that of the Turkish army, not to mention that there were a small number of Leopard tanks among them. Facing the most advanced Type 2 tanks of the Turkish army, they could only be slaughtered.

"Oh God, what kind of tank is this?"

"Too powerful, we are no match for him."

"Oh my god, retreat quickly."

When the German armored forces came on the scene, the Turkish army realized that their armored forces were a joke. They had no power to fight back. They could only be slaughtered or flee in panic.

"Lost, lost"

"The gap is too big, they are simply not a match."

Many Turkish soldiers saw this scene and shook their heads, knowing that there was no point in fighting any further.

Seeing the armored forces rushing forward, the vassal army behind them also burst into high morale and attacked the city of Bursa fiercely.

The Turkish soldiers in the city saw that the German offensive was so fierce, and they began to flee one by one. Taking this opportunity, the main force of the German army broke through the city of Bursa in one fell swoop.

After taking the city of Bursa, the vanguard of the German army was not far from Constantinople. If they continued to attack, they could take Constantinople in half a day at most.

If Constantinople was taken, it would be a great shock to the entire Turkish country, and of course it would also be beneficial for the German army to completely defeat the Turkish country.

After a fierce battle, the city of Bursa was completely captured, and more than 100,000 of the Turkish army's 500,000 troops were annihilated, 300,000 were captured, and the rest fled in embarrassment._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download the Faloo Novel APP!
