LAND WAR 7TH OF APRIL TO 6TH OF JUNE
GERMANY WAKES UP
The month started quietly with the 37th Battle of Bur Sa’id
My hat analyst was unsure what the British were hoping to accomplish this time as compared to the previous 36...but hey-ho more accolades for my Italian fallschirmjägers.
BUT THEN AT THE 14 OF APRIL 1940 THE MOST AMAZING THING HAPPENED
GERMANY...ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING
THEY BROKE THROUGH THE MAGINOT!
…..wait what??
“Let me get this straight they went THROUGH the giant fortifications of the Maginot line”
“Apparently boss”
“...How?”
“Well might have something to do with us killing a quarter of the french Army and then fighting against half the army left and..”
“Nah i know what happened! That idiot madman Hitler woke up and let the glorious Werhmacht execute and brilliant plan they had created! They probably dug a tunnel below the Maginot. If you ask me, I always said that was a better idea!”
“Sigh….well boss what do you want us to do now?”
“Attack of course!! We need to keep the French occupied”
“HAHAHAHA i told you medium tank were the solutions to all our problems!Look at the Centari divsion go...stupid name btw i will have to change that later!.. NOW CHAAAARGE!”
PASTA stated at him as he jumped around like a maniac
“Siiiigh...and he was doing so well before..”
“HA HA HA! 9000 more Frenchies to the prisoner camps!”
I then scratched my chin..
While so far we were doing well in the air my air force was stretched thin between the French front and the Air war around sicily”
The problem was that due to the high mortality rate among my tank designers due to severe cases of “sent to the front '' i had to move plane designers there...so i had no new plane designs for years.
And outdated planes are worse than no planes.
Hmmm what to do...
Then my eyes fell of the accurate model of the iconic Messerschmitt BF 109
THAT'S THE SOLUTION!
BUY THEM FROM GERMANY!
And get some radar while we are it..it will prove useful at some places
In the meantime in the Franco-German border it was clear by the 24th of April that the line had broken completely
“HAHAHAHA LOOK AT THEM GO!”,I shouted full of excitement.
“Hey boss Luxembourg capitulated”
“I see that PASTA!And Rommel is leading the charge!!”
“Look how dashing he is! Look how close he is to Paris!”
“And also we finally connected our frontlines with the Germans!Viva l’Italia boss!”
“Yeah Yeah they Italian did decently i suppose..now let me watch Rommel kick ass in peace!”
“You know there are battles going on in the other fronts as well..should we pay some attention there?”
“Nah tell them to sit there and do nothing!They are distracting me from watching the GLORIOUS German charge!”
“Sigh...oh okay Boss..whatever you say…”
“Now back to the important stuff..how is Germany doing?”
“Well they got their first encirclement”
“Nice,welcome to the Club Germany!”
“And they reached Paris!!It's not Rommel but oh well..so why did they stop??”
“They run out of drugs”
“You mean fuel?”
“No i mean drags..in order to go that fast they had to take stimul....”
“Hey Finland is mobilizing!!Go Finland Give those Soviets what for!”
“And oh btw why is Rommel still heading north?”
“Well Germany appears to have declared war on Belgium”
“....Excuse me? “
“Well I had heard around the Maginot..but around the Liege..Brilliant!The Wehrmacht shines once again!!”
“Isn't it a bit overcomplicated just to deal with Belgium?”
“No such thing, German planning is perfect ! Now have we encircled Paris?”
“Yeah we have..and our Medium tanks are there already to help out”
“Belgium fell quite quickly...Thought that was only natural with Rommel Leading the charge!”
“Hey boss we have a request for a meeting.Now the fall of France is all but guaranteed the leader of Germany would like to meet us”
“Eh let Mussoliny deal with Hitler...they deserve each other”
“Umm..its the actual leader of Germany.And he is here already”,he said ponting at the door which opens automatically
At the door stood a fat man with a white T-shirt and a balding hairline .He was holding a giant bowl of.. was that Spaghetti Bolonese?
“Ciao!I am the leader of Germany! I am Italian and you may call me Intelligenzo Artific!”
The last thing i heard as i felt the world go dark was a loud slurping sound as lots of spaghetti was vacuumed inside his mouth
======================================================================
And here we will leave it.France is guaranteed to fall but what will happen to the Peace deal?
How will our dear Wehraboo react to his beloved Werchmant being led by an ITALIAN??
Will the German officers serve happily under an Italian?
Those and many many other questions will be answered in 9 whole months...or when i get a leave from the army or a posting that allows me to pass nights at home.
I will see you guys next time! Until then stay historically nerdy
