So the result after discussing for a long time is this. Due to insufficient infrastructure and transportation capabilities, Germany will invest relatively limited troops in the Middle East, while China has stronger defense forces in the north, and at the same time, Iran's strategic depth is relatively large.

After breaking through a little, the opponent can calmly retreat and organize a new line of defense, so

It is unrealistic to resolve the battle in a short period of time. ∈♀ Therefore, the most reliable way for the Allied Army is to launch an attack from the weaker areas in the south, and then move north to draw out a longer front, and then

Force the Chinese Army to leave its solid frontal defense line by attacking some important cities and strongholds.

The best thing about this plan is that regardless of whether the subsequent fighting in northern Iran goes well or not, the Allies can control Iran's southern coastline, which at least completes Germany's minimum goal in Iran, opening a channel and establishing a forward position. And in addition

One reason is that the German Army can obtain naval assistance when attacking Iranian coastal cities. In the last war, the German Navy did not attack due to various reasons.

What role does it play? This time, whether it is for the safety of its ports in the Persian Gulf or to restore its lost reputation, the main force of the German fleet will inevitably attack. Although it cannot be compared with the land-based aviation, several aircraft carriers gather hundreds of

A plane can still do it. Iran's southern coastline is long and its defenses are relatively weak. With naval support, the German Army can land anywhere along the southern coast.

According to the German Army's plan, when the German Army from Basra and Fao defeats the American and British troops in southern Iran, it will directly march to Izfahan, then to Qom, and finally to Tehran. It will then control the Caspian Sea coast.

region, completely cutting off China’s support. Of course, the other side will never sit still and wait for death.

From the Germans' perspective, China's most likely option is not to stand still or to return to aid Tehran, but to retreat directly to the Caspian Sea coast. Because standing firm is useless and waiting for death, supporting Tehran will shake the entire front, and the safest way is

Withdraw to the Caspian Sea, and then the Germans will think about it and squeeze China out of Iran.

The Germans are very confident in this plan, because the strength of China's frontal front is supported by powerful troops, solid fortifications and bunkers, as well as numerous supply battles and aviation bases in the rear. When the German army avoids the frontal blade, it directly

If the rear area is turned into a pot of porridge, the advantage of the Chinese Army will naturally be unable to be maintained. After all,

After all, it is easy to destroy a complete logistics system, but it is very difficult to build it again. If nothing unexpected happens, the German Army will formulate a strategy of defending in the west, attacking in the south, and then going north to outflank it.

When it was time to make a decision, the intervention of the German General Staff, Navy and Air Force caused another change in the plan.

It turns out that the British started their activities here long before they reached an agreement with Huaxia on the southeastern provinces of Iran. If you want to quickly occupy an area, relying solely on force is obviously not a good choice. You can only buy some "road leading parties" first.

Make the whole plan smoother. And China cannot fall out with the British because of this kind of bribery. So the British are happy to strike first, but unfortunately, this strategy did not cause a backlash from China and Iran, but it caused Germany

Attention General Staff and Navy brass!

What do the British want to do? Naturally, they want to get a share of the collapse of Iran. This purpose is simply known to everyone. But such a seemingly simple conspiracy has put Germany into trouble. It directly

It is related to the outcome of Germany's attack on Iran. Think about it, if when Germany attacks Iran, Sistan-Balochistan in southeastern Iran

If Stan suddenly declares independence and accepts British protection, then if Germany sends troops to this area, it will most likely turn into a war against Britain! The Germans can find an excuse to go to war with Iran at will, but Germany can fight with the British at will.

Start a war? That is obviously impossible! So this means that Germany is very likely to lose this place.

The loss of this place will have a great impact on Germany's next strategy. Among other things, Germany's starting base for attacking Iran will be retreated hundreds of kilometers to the west. This is equivalent to providing the British with huge strategic depth.

At the same time, the German navy's movement in and out of the Persian Gulf will also be affected by the submarines and aircraft deployed by the British in southeastern Iran.

The threat of aircraft. If the British succeed, then even if Germany takes the entire Iran, it will lose about 30% of the value of this war! Therefore, the British thought that the result of the action against Iran was to directly challenge Germany.

fundamental interests. This also fully confirms that Xu Jie’s guess about Germany’s strategic goals is correct.

Even without considering the future, if the British can successfully gain a foothold in southeastern Iran in the early stages of the war, it will also have an adverse impact on the war situation. When a large number of British troops enter this area, who can guarantee that the British will not

Is the German Army going north a blow from behind? Who can guarantee that the powerful British Air Force will not threaten the German Army's fragile logistical supplies after acquiring the forward airfield and advancing the front line hundreds of kilometers?

Indiscriminate bombing of the front lines? Even if the German Army endures it, can the German Navy endure it? As soon as they go out, they must beware of torpedo planes and bombers attacking from the shore. The top German military leaders who are good at interspersing and maneuvering quickly realized a problem, that is,

If you want to successfully implement the strategy of advancing north, the prerequisite is to ensure that the British cannot occupy the southeastern region of Iran. The Germans cannot afford to be flanked by the Allied forces from the north and the south!

As a result, the smart-alecked British inadvertently made a mockery and directly drew the Germans' attention from northern Iran to southeastern Iran. Although the German Army was somewhat reluctant to part with its previous plan, in the face of the aggressive British, Hindenburg

Others have to admit that the crisis in the southeast is more serious, because the United Kingdom can instigate Iran's southeast

The country is independent, but China is unlikely to directly replace the current Iranian government, because China cannot directly overthrow its younger brother. To put it more clearly, no matter how lively the fight between Germany and China is in northern Iran, on the surface

It seems that it is also a conflict between Germany and Iran. It is easier to end it, but the problem in southeastern Iran is not that simple!

While the Germans were discussing this incident, Xu Jie, who was far away in Beijing, added fuel to the fire. Just a few minutes ago, Xu Jie handed over a copy of the "Iranian Navy Development Plan" to the Iranian Embassy in China.

In the hands of the ambassador. "China does not agree with Iran's large equipment of expensive equipment. Why is it suddenly suggesting that Iran build a navy? And assisting Iran in building a navy can be directly left to the Navy Ministry. For Xu Jie's sake, he has to personally intervene.

What? Is this a bit of a fuss?" the Iranian representative muttered in his mind.

And then when the ambassador opened the document and saw on the first page about the method of raising expenses for the Iranian Navy, he was even more surprised, because in this plan, China will not only provide the Iranian Navy with warships and training, but even related expenses.

It was all advanced by China in the beginning, and Iran will only repay the debt in installments over a period of up to 20 years starting next year.

That’s it, and the first five years of this debt are interest-free! As long as Iran nods, then from the second half of the year, personnel can be sent to China for training to take over ships! These warships are directly allocated from the Chinese Navy’s combat sequence.

There is no need to wait for the lengthy construction period! With such favorable conditions, the Iranian ambassador really couldn’t find a reason to refuse!

Immediately, the Iranian ambassador said that he could accept this naval construction plan after getting domestic consent. Xu Jie also put down a stone in his heart. As long as Iran agrees to this plan, I am afraid that a certain country will be unlucky. Xu Jie thought in his heart.

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that this plan is nothing more than borrowing a knife to kill people, using China's knife and Iran's hands to attack the Germans. But in fact, this plan is the most

The biggest victim is not Iran or Germany, but the United Kingdom! Just imagine, if the Iranian Navy accepts these warships, where will they deploy them? The coast of the Persian Gulf? Or the narrow Strait of Hormuz? None! They can only deploy them

On the coast of the Arabian Sea in the northeastern part of Iran! It is relatively far from the base of the German Indian Ocean Fleet, but at the same time, it can threaten Germany's maritime transportation as soon as it goes out!

The ports in southeastern Iran and the fleet deployed inside are like a fishbone stuck in the chokepoint entering and exiting the Persian Gulf! The Germans cannot ignore this fleet, so in order to eradicate this fleet, Germany

People will inevitably attack southeastern Iran first. Facing the pincer attack by the German navy and army, the first person to bear the brunt is not Iran's fragile defense force, because this is an area that can be abandoned in the eyes of China and Iran, but the British who are plotting here.

!

"It would be better for Britain to decline as it did in history. I hope that when India becomes independent, Lord Mountbatten will perform better than in history." Looking at South Asia on the map, Xu Jie had a smile on his lips. History 2

After the war, the British colonial system came to an end with the demise of the German Third Reich. On this level, for its own interests, China also needed the Union Jack flag to eventually return to the British Isles. After the war, the British

It is impossible for people to become allies of China

Friends, since they are not friends, then Xu Jie will naturally take this opportunity to do everything possible to weaken Britain. Therefore, Xu Jie's purpose is not only to prevent Britain from splitting Iran, but also to hope that the Allies and the Allies will fight in India to squeeze out the last bit of both sides.

Strength. As for how far Britain will be weakened, it depends on the situation in Europe in the future. Mutual checks and balances among European powers are Xu Jie's unchanging strategy. Only when Europe is in chaos can China compete with the United States.
