.. The Treaty of Sofia is realistic and gives both sides some breathing room for round 2. While your hints on future use of gas warfare are very scary.Phew, that wasn't an easy chapter to write, as I was fighting both sides of the diplomatic war, which just got worse and worse once I got to the bit involving the Soviet naval bases. Hopefully the terms and compromises I've written are sensible enough - do let me know if anything is too fanciful here.
I will be going on a study tour, so the next update, and the final one of Part 6, concerning foreign reactions won't be posted any earlier than 16th July, 2015. Sorry, guys.
...Sevastopol in Black Sea is important for Baltic fleet?
Well, it was more like the other way round, but events in the Pacific may indeed just lead to Weber dropping the Japanese like a hot potato, to paraphrase Kung Fucious.Weber wants access to the Transiberian... german military support for Japan? Weber has never toured Ford plants in Chicago or USS Steel works in Pittsburg
Great update and, again, Weber isn't following Machiavelli advice about blandishing/estinguishing enemies.
Another great update Tom Colton.
Thanks!I'm going down South for a few weeks from tomorrow, so hey, at least I'll only be waiting a fortnight once I get back to the internet!
The treaty seemed realistic enough: Stalin's sharp/paranoid enough to know/suspect/imagine what's going on, and poor old Boris wants no part of any of this. As usual, Antonescu is a bellend
A question regarding Byelorussia for my updates on the map; is it a quasi-independent puppet like Slovakia which provides a buffer with the USSR, or another part of the Greater German Reich like Gothica?
I think I've mentioned this before, but Eupen-Malmedy had a plebiscite sometime during the Interim Peace, with the German-speaking portions joining Germany proper. The "rest" remains with Belgium, with the French discouraging further attempts to sell it.
It sure does.
...Sevastopol in Black Sea is important for Baltic fleet?
Fixed.
These will be revealed in the next part, but Finland is undergoing a burst of nationalism which is beginning to concern Ryti, and Sweden and Turkey are now leaning further and further westwards - with all due discretion, of course.

What can they do? Britain just lost a war against Germany (in a few months no less) and has no desire to lose another. Plus, at least in regards to the USSR, the revelations of the Great Purge make it so that the Soviets are seen as equally evil, and no one in Britain wanted to get involved with the devil to stop a different devil.
To be fair Weber's mistake wasn't not destroying the Soviets, it was invading them in the first place. He was never going to be able to take the Soviet Union, and eventually the Soviets would have bounced back and been able to destroy Germany.
But in all seriousness, any timeline should be judged on its own merits; if future developments strain suspension of disbelief to its breaking point, feel free to let me know. 
Sorry I don't have time to respond to every post as this is from a phone in a hotel, but all I can say is that the nets keeping the butterflies where they are have been fairly rigid up until now, and from now on they'll be free to roam around every corner of the world. Yes, the Nazis appear to be winning now, but there wouldn't be much of a story if the Soviets had simply said "No" and the Great Patriotic War had ended similar to OTL (admittedly, an Eastern Front without an Overlord would actually be pretty interesting, but that's not the purpose of this particular narrative.)
All I can say is that the Nazis are going to have a little bit more luck here and there, but not necessarily the Axis as a whole, and when it does eventually run out, the Greater German Reich is going down hard.
I resent that comparision to "Zweites Buch"; at least Weber dropped Schacht for Goering ages ago! (Ignore that organisation chart I put up some time ago; I do need to revise it.)
