eventually the kingdom falls under the influence of a neighbouring state that was able to adjust their economy quickly to produce more peanut butter and fatty meats

The reign of King Barkley is known for one thing, the Bone Throne. And it wasn't even his idea, he said so on his deathbed. One important legacy has remained, and that is the tiny paper crowns still worn during more vestive times of year, little crowns the size of which poor old King Barkley bore atop his weary head, dumby, but proudly just the same.

Despite the best efforts of all to manipulate the new king, even those who thought they succeeded, they were all bested by King Barkley.

As the last conspirator sneers at the king, he asks: "Why? Why couldn't we control you? You're just a dog and we all had our leashes on you!"

The king looks smug and informs this wouldbe puppeteer before he's hauled off to the chopping block: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."

And so another great King had come to prominence, and left quicker still. This time by the treachery of his own- though distant- kin and kind. King Barkley was a headstrong Lord, and never allowed the Royal food taster time to carry out his sacred duty. And so, the Usurper stole the Kingdom in similar fashion to how the King acquired it. Poison.

Everyone assumes the Vizier is the one who actually holds power. The court goes into intrigue overdrive with everyone constantly plotting and scheming against each other. Every trick from assassination to seduction is used with no holds barred. As soon as one person becomes Vizier there are already two plots to overthrow them. The rest of the country hums along just fine. Better than fine, actually.

Eventually, only one noble family is left in court. They soon discover that the meritocratic bureaucracy set up by the last king has been running everything behind the scenes. They have almost all lands seized by the state and the court disbanded. The weakened aristocracy is unable to resist as a democratic constitution is adopted. Elections are held to determine the new leaders.

The dog who was the last king is given the honorary title of "Good Boy" and allowed to retire.

Anon, efficiency is in your result. You can produce shit as quickly as you wish, if all you do it throw it down the shitter you aren't efficient. And Nazi Germany did nothing like what you claim with your uneducated hyperbolic bullshit. Conquered a whole continent my ass, how fucking stupid are you to even suggest such a thing? Fastest expansion in history? Have you heard of the Mongols? The guys who did it on horseback? Though I suppose Nazi Germany also counts as an expansion on horseback, considering how many domestic farm animals were used in their shitty supply lines due to their lack of gas. Germany blitzed its way into early victories, taking many by surprise, then stalled, and finally got stomped. "Stopped by two superpowers," yeah, like the U.S. couldn't have done it alone, or Soviet wouldn't have won even had the U.S. ignored the European theatre somehow (you know, if Hitler hadn't declared war on them like the retard, I mean, like the efficient leader he was). Do you know what an efficient war effort doesn't do? Leave the country in literal ruins in less than a decade. German tech wasn't even that good, for example the Soviet tanks shat all over German Panzers. Germany did one area of science and technology better than anyone else: rocketry, and the airplanes they produced through it never saw combat, because Germany had already run out of gas and couldn't get them into the air. Efficient my ass.

Efficiency and good judgement are not mutually inclusive. You can have the efficiency and technical as well as combat capabilities to take on drastically greater than your own population in terms of a military threat while simultaneously committing genocide on all jews/gypsies/etc in home country as well as conquered territories, without having the good judgment to realize that perhaps pissing off the entire world isn't such a good idea.

In other terms someone as retarded as you might understand, no individual no matter how capable, can fight an army, the difference in scale is too great, regardless of whether or not that man is the best soldier in the world.

>>56979447
Yes and better results are hardly imaginable given the situation.

>Have you heard of the Mongols?
Slower.

>yeah, like the U.S. couldn't have done it alone,
Yes, that is exactly implication. If the Soviets had folded in 42, no american solider would ever had put boots on european soil. The Western front was merely a minor theatre of war after all.

>Soviet wouldn't have won even had the U.S. ignored the European theatre somehow
That, otoh, is very likely.

>you know, if Hitler hadn't declared war on them like the retard, I mean, like the efficient leader he was
You realize that the Soviets were rebuilding their military from the ground after decapitating it? Hitler attacked because he knew that with each passing year Germany's advantages over the Soviets were shrinking.

>Leave the country in literal ruins in less than a decade.
He ruled for 12 years.

>German tech wasn't even that good, for example the Soviet tanks shat all over German Panzers
No, it was good but, as on other fronts, the technological balance shifted back and forth during the war. What WAS superior however early war was German tactics. Particularly the efficient use of tank formations. Also, mid war German tanks (Kursk 1943) were superior to Soviet tanks, only early war Germany struggled but could compensate with efficient tactics.

>Germany did one area of science and technology better than anyone else:
Germany did at various stages of war better in one aspect or the other, including but not limited to tanks, submarines, military doctrine.

>Germany had already run out of gas and couldn't get them into the air. Efficient my ass.
That's because they lost Stalingrad and has nothing to do with inefficiency.

>His command is certianly not efficient if they make that lone soldier fight an army on his own, and it's that command structure and that command that determines efficiency far more than the lone soldier. You don't get to to pick and choose what aspects of society you can include or ignore in your one-word description of Nazi Germany. If you want to praise the efficiency of aspects of it, do so, without disregarding the immensely inefficient leadership in many levels of government that slowed Germany's potential efficiency to a crawl through incompetence and ideology.

You came this close to understanding the distinction between good judgment and efficiency.

You can make the most efficient government and war economic system in the world. If your leader is deluded and decides to declare war on an omnipotent being, you're going to lose. It doesn't make your government any less efficient. Efficiency is not the sole determinant of war, nor is the reverse true.

>>56984032
If Germany's concerns were the Soviets, then he shouldn't have attacked Poland and alienated the West, and shouldn't have been drawn into North Africa and Greece to help the Italians.

>That's because they lost Stalingrad and has nothing to do with inefficiency.

In the long run, Stalingrad honestly doesn't matter. The Soviet Union had twice the industrial capacity and three times the population of Germany, and immensely more depth with which to fight a war. Even had the Nazis taken Stalingrad, it wouldn't have been a crippling blow to the Soviet Union. The only way to do that is to take Moscow before the Muscovite factories are disassembled and reassembled behind the Urals, but Moscow was ten times the size of Stalingrad at the time. If the Nazis couldn't take Stalingrad, then there's no way in Hell that they're taking Moscow.

>no american solider would ever had put boots on european soil

I find this difficult to believe, given that no German boot was ever going to land on Britain and the Battle of the Atlantic was already turning against the Germans as early as 1941, before America's entry. No Eastern front only means that the war is going to be longer, it hardly makes it unwinnable for the Allies.

Continued in a moment...

>>56988279
The aforementioned continuation.

To be frank, a longer war with no Eastern front is actually the worst thing that can happen to Germany. Why? Because neither of those factors do anything to speed up the German atomic bomb program or correct its fundamental flaws - nor do they slow down the American atomic bomb program.

No Eastern Front means solely that atomic bombs get used on Germany first, which is what they were originally intended for, you'll recall, it's just that in our timeline Germany capitulated before they could be used on it.

Even without an Eastern Front, Germany needs to do a number of things:

- Win the Battle of Britain (so as to make way for Sealion) (this is the most feasible thing for it to achieve, but it's still a doozy)
- Pull off a successful Sealion before America enters the war (which will involve solving impossible logistical problems, both in terms of finding proper landing craft for troops AND supplying those troops once they make landfall - the Allied Invasion of France was the most meticulously planned invasion in the history of mankind and it still ran out of fuel after like 40 days; what chance does Sealion have?)
- Win the Atlantic War so as to starve Britain into submission (very unlikely once ENIGMA is cracked and Britain develops anti-submarine technology, and outright impossible once America enters the war)
- Have America not enter the war (unlikely as long as it's sinking American ships to try and starve Britain), since once America shifts to a full wartime economy it is not exaggeration to say that America can put ships in the water faster than the Axis Powers can sink them.

Basically, Germany needs Britain to capitulate without America entering the war, but the very thing Germany needs to do to ensure that (sink American ships) ensures that a war with America before Britain capitulates is inevitable.
