"At present, almost the entire Eastern Railway has been brought under the control of the military, civilian trains have been compressed to the limit, and a large number of flatbed transporters and ammunition transport vehicles have flooded almost the entire line. The entire route from the Balkans to the valley of the two rivers has been turned into a military line. In a basement in Belgrade, a stocky middle-aged man codenamed Weasel said methodically.

"So do you think this line can supply the military needs of the entire Allies at the front?" The tall and thin middle-aged man in the shadows on the opposite side said calmly.

"No way. Just for now, the needs of the front line are already outpacing the volume of transportation of the Eastern Railway. Just three days ago, my men found tanks and armoured vehicles in transit at the port of Piraeus. This part was supposed to be the elite troops of Austria-Hungary stationed in the Balkans. Tank transport is different from ordinary vehicles, it is too large and heavy, and some of the original flatbed vehicles cannot meet the needs of tank No. 4. So the theoretical road transport capacity is not equal to the actual transport capacity. Weasel said.

"Then after the completion of the troop assembly, can the other side's capacity support the loss of the front?" The person on the other side thought for a moment and asked. At present, it is the period of troop assembly, and the demand for transportation capacity is relatively large. If this peak period is over, I am afraid that the situation will be better.

"Probably not. Even though the transport of heavy equipment can save some capacity with the completion of pre-war preparations, then they will be filled up by rising ammunition and vehicle losses. The production capacity of the Turkish Empire's heavy vehicles was not enough even for the minimum requirements of its own army. So sea freight must be required anyway. In addition, with the number of fast cargo ships passing through the Balkans and into the Middle East proliferating in the coming months, according to the schedules, it seems unlikely that the Germans would have the trouble of navigating Western Europe by sea if rail alone could handle their needs. The weasel made his guess.

"How long will it take to transport German heavy equipment?"

"Lasts up to a month. Then the number of flatbed trucks will be greatly reduced. This means that heavy equipment such as tanks or trucks will no longer be transported. In addition, the Germans seem to be concerned about their jet fuel consumption, in recent times. The volume of jet fuel shipments has been steadily rising. And reached its peak half a month later. Since then, although there has been a decline, the total amount is still considerable. It struck me as weird. Doesn't Turkey have a lot of oil? The weasel voiced his doubts.

"You don't have to care, you just need to provide information objectively." The person on the other side said indifferently. "Alright then, the detailed documents will be sent through another channel, good luck." The weasel shrugged and put on a nonchalant expression. Then he turned and left.

The tall and thin man, after the former left, began to prepare his report: "From the current situation, we can learn the following points. First, the Allied Powers could not meet the needs of the battlefield by rail and road, and a large amount of supplies needed to be transported by sea and land from ports in the Mediterranean or even on the mainland. Second. Preparations for the Allied war were about a month later, and Turkey's supplies could not meet the needs of the Allies on the battlefield, and they needed to stock up on various supplies, including ammunition and spare parts. Third, Turkey's domestic jet fuel production capacity appears to be insufficient. Allied jet fuel has always been an important part of the transport mission. A few days later, this information was placed on Peng Yi's desk along with other information.

As early as the end of World War 1, the Entente began to set about building a whole set of intelligence systems in the areas occupied by the Central Powers. This intelligence network, known as the Windwhisperers, covers the entire Central and Eastern European region from Norway in the north to the Balkans in the south. Although the Allies were able to gain large tracts of land in World War I by relying on their strong military might, it was clear that occupying an area and informing it of stability was not the same concept. In the Balkans, where nationalism was at the rise, it was impossible to say that the local population did not resist the rule of Austria-Hungary. Whether it was the Balkans under Austria-Hungary or Russia under German rule. The Allies' blunt and repressive policies not only failed to completely extinguish the resistance, but instead caused some of the wavering people to turn to the rebels. …

This may seem difficult to understand. But those who are familiar with history should know that the countries of the Balkans became independent from the Turks. It was easy to obtain independent status, and now a new master is naturally unconvinced. As for Poland? Although this country is known for its cheating in modern times. But at the same time, the Polish people were known for their resilience, if it were not for the fact that Poland was surrounded by three great powers: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. I'm afraid that Poland would have long since returned to independence. Historically, even after the partition of Poland by the three powers, as long as there is an opportunity, the Poles will still hold high the banner of national independence. And in this plane, although the Germans suppressed the national independence movement in Poland with strong force, the flames of discontent and revenge were still brewing secretly. And these naturally became the basis for the creation of an intelligence network by the Entente.

With the end of the Italian War and the beginning of the Middle East, the Allied bloc's sphere of influence would expand further, but for the same reason, harsh rule and exploitation would sow the seeds of hatred in these regions. As an adversary of the Allies, an ally of Italy and Iran. Huaxia also cooperated with the former Italian government and the Iranian government at an early stage, establishing a subordinate intelligence system of its own. With Huaxia and the Entente finally standing in a trench. The intelligence systems of the two sides began to be docked. Eventually, the intelligence system known as the Wind Whisperers covered most of Europe and almost all of the Middle East. And played a rather important role in the development of the future war situation.

Gathering intelligence is only one part of the current Wind Talker system, but this part of the function alone has benefited China and the Entente countries a lot. Judging by the information collected from various sources. China and the Entente were able to have a relatively clear grasp of the dynamics of the preparation of the alliance's forces, and at the same time had a certain understanding of the other side's equipment allocation and logistical supply. This played a very important role in Huaxia's revision and improvement of its own combat plan. Of course, the entire Wind Talker system is not only responsible for gathering intelligence, and as the final showdown date approaches, the leaders of Huaxia and the Entente continue to explore other functions of this system.

"It's not just a head-to-head battle between us and our opponents. At the same time, we should also build a battlefield behind enemy lines, especially as the alliance's forces tilt in the direction of the Middle East. When European power became relatively weak, build a rebel army behind enemy lines to deplete and delay the military operations of the Allies. Xu Jie suggested this in a phone call with Roosevelt.

Historically, in addition to dealing with the regular armies of the Soviet Union and its allies, Germany had to deploy large numbers of troops and paramilitaries in its own occupied areas to counter the rising resistance. The most famous of these was Tito, the leader of the Yugoslav partisans. In the Balkans, the mighty eventually pulled out hundreds of thousands of guerrillas. Although the fighting power of these partisans did not match their numbers, it was a fact that they held back a large amount of German resources. And in this plane, as the area occupied by the Central Powers continued to expand, so did the area in which guerrilla warfare could develop.

However, this time, Xu Jie did not choose the Balkans, because unlike the rapid occupation of the Balkan Peninsula by Germany in history, Austria-Hungary already owned part of the Balkan Peninsula before this, and it has been more than ten years since the end of World War 1 almost completely swallowed the Balkan Peninsula, and the ruling foundation is by no means comparable to the Germans in history. The choice of guerrilla zone must be to choose areas that the other side has just controlled and not yet consolidated, such as Italy mainland and Libya.

Although Italy was already under the control of the Germans, Mussolini had established a government, and there were some things that the Germans could not interfere with directly. The problems in the state apparatus, which is made up of the backbone of the Black Shirts in the North, are riddled with loopholes. So this created the fragility of Mussolini's system of rule, which was naturally the basis for building a system of resistance behind enemy lines. Of course, due to the small size of Italy and its lack of depth, the strength of this rebel army was not very strong. But something is better than nothing. …

First of all, Libya is connected to French North Africa, and the French colonies in North Africa have directly become the general rear of the guerrillas, and the guerrillas can train, supply and correct in the French colonies, and then cross the border into Libya to fight. Second, Libya's oil fields were an important strategic resource for Germany and Austria, but the colony was controlled by Austria-Hungary, which could not devote much defense force to Germany to the powerful Germany. This leaves a considerable void space throughout Libya. Especially this time, Austria-Hungary actively participated in the Iranian war, which was bound to weaken the military power of Libya, so it also made it possible for the partisans to play.

"If we can achieve something from our operations in Libya, we can even extend guerrilla warfare to Egypt and Italian East Africa. We have Sudan as a colony, which can be used as a support base for guerrilla warfare in these two places. Until the showdown between the two sides, neither French West Africa nor Sudan is safe. Roosevelt still agreed with Xu Jie's suggestion.

"What if French West Africa and Sudan fall after a full-scale war breaks out between the two sides? The Germans were quite capable of doing this. One of the staff members said with some concern.

"That's even better. We will use these barren lands to further disperse the military power of the Allies, and these places will become quagmire. Roosevelt said with a smile. Anyway, that's a matter for the French and the British, and it has nothing to do with us directly, and I think Mr. Xu thinks so too! ”
