Wagner’s Germany: An Axis Victory TL

Well, the new Cold War is shaping up. We have the Nazi-European bloc vs the Anglo-American bloc. I'm hoping Dewey and Eden will significantly increase the economic interdependence between the US and the British Commonwealth.
I'm eager to see how the African colonies will shape up.

Its also stated that the Axis will be going to war against the Soviets. Depending on how that goes, the commies could be either destroyed, or severely weakened and forced to join the Anglo-American bloc, or survive as a third separate bloc in a tripolar world.
Also if the Japanese survive, they are definitely breaking away from the Axis and forming their own independent bloc.
Are Spain, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Norway integrated ?
What about Sweden and Finland ?
Will Italy (with Romanian, Bulgarian and Hungarian help of course) try to conquer Greece and Yugoslavia ?

I would assume Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg, have both been directly annexed by the Reich.
Sorry, my knowledge of tanks only applies to American, German, and Russian tanks.
They aren't integrated in the same immediate way as the countries mentioned, but this isn't to say the Germans won't be looking to connect their economies to the greater whole, just through more indirect means.
I'm afraid I can't comment on the Balkans issue due to spoilers.
They do indeed remain a pressing concern.
Thanks. I hope to resume posting them on a more regular schedule.
All very important matters for the future of TTL. Anglo-American ties will clearly continue to assume greater significance as time goes on.
A good case can be made that the central bank is premature, which is revealing, as it shows Wagner is in a hurry.
Switzerland will be left neutral, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg have been annexed.
Despite its antiquated layout, the vehicle was by all accounts effective in the role it was designed for.
Good question. I would think he be paranoid right now, he was pretty paranoid to begin with but now he's in a very interesting situation.
This is another important issue where I am again limited in how much I can answer due to spoilers. This much can be said, though, Stalin will not at the outset of the war be caught by surprise in the way he was historically.
Stalin was not stupid. He made a massive miscalculation with not expecting an attack in 1941 IOTL. But there, of course he will expect an attack, since the capitalist powers are at peace.
Why would he NOT expect an attack ?
Which means that the USSR will be fully prepared and mobilized.
And will use the experience gained in Finland (like OTL) but also in Persia and Afghanistan against Britain.
Moreover, with the war happening one year later, it means one more year to recover from the Purges in the Red Army.
So Germany is in a much better position, but Soviet Union is too.

The reason why he would not is that he can see Wagner very busy with Building an economy in europe. If Wagner want to strike he needs to prepare the impression of activity elsewhere. This is one way.
But clearly its a balance. Its possible that STaling will not expect an attack NeXT summer, but he will be preparing for war (offensive or defensive) on a massive scale.
You got me. I always thought they had limited range, a dire shortcoming if you want to invade Russia with them.
I agree to an extent. The thing for the Red Army, though, is that it has really only been trying to recover from the purges since the war with Finland revealed the extent of its flaws.
The method described here is one of the ways the Axis will seek to conceal their war preparations.
It's being used as an infantry support vehicle. Basically, the Germans want to augment quickly their ability to break through fortifications, and it's a tank French industry has already been tooled for. For range, according to wiki it had the same operational range as the Pz IV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_B1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV
So, similar to an infantry assault gun? Not with the standard armored divisions
