June 22, 1941. The Reich has begun its massive invasion of the Soviet Union. The Axis currently controls all of Europe, save for the Thrace, controlled by the Republic of Turkey. We have a non-aggression pact with the Axis powers, and we are certainly no friend of the Russians, but the troubling reality is that nothing could stop Italian aggression against us should the Soviet military break down. The Germans and Italians see us Turks as a third-rate power that could never so much as even tarnish their plans for global domination. Hence, republican soldiers invading through Rumania and relieving pressure from southern Soviet forces would be gravely unexpected and might make a difference in this world war.
Such a plan is so bold and ambitious, that we must be meticulous in its planning and strike boldly.
The cabinet of the republic.
The first country that Turkey must defeat is Bulgaria. This is problematic, for most of their forces are concentrated in mountainous and hilly lands that will require a tremendous amount of resources and casualties in order to occupy. Therefore, our war plan will be to surround the core of Bulgaria, causing them them to outstretch their lines of infantry, and then force a breakthrough to reach their capital city. We will then highly fortify their western mountainous regions to prevent offensives from German-occupied Greece and Yugoslavia, while we prepare for our incursion into Rumania.
Operation Şâhin Paşa
Our primary target here is Varna, as their open airport will allow us to reposition our aerial forces in order to use reconnaissance to find breaks in the Bulgarian lines, while controlling their seaport will be important for supplying our armies.
