"The Germans are going to have a big fight with China in Iran. ○Blucher, what do you think?" Trotsky looked at the person opposite and asked. "You have been conducting the deduction for more than a week, and there should be something.

Harvest.”

"The situation is still very vague. We don't know where the bottom line between the two sides is. General Budyonny believes that China will defend Iran at all costs, but others do not think so. If China is willing to spend a lot of money, it may be difficult for the Germans to do so.

, because I always believe that the primary goal of Germany and the Allies is not

The Middle East is not India but Europe. In terms of timeliness, solving France is more important than occupying the entire India. Therefore, the Germans may only want to obtain a departure position for India in this war. Part of Iran's territory is preserved

It's not impossible," said Blucher.

"Attacking France? Start from the border between both sides? This may be very difficult. I am not optimistic about Germany. France and the United Kingdom are only separated by a narrow strait. The English Channel is the British back garden, not to mention that the German High Seas Fleet has already

Going south, even without going south, it is impossible to make a difference in the English Channel. If your guess is correct, then there will be a logical error here. If Germany

If you want to refer to the offensive route during World War I, then why did the High Seas Fleet go south? Wouldn't it be more effective if they directly put pressure on the British mainland? Judging from the actions of the German Navy, the Germans should have given up their plan to attack France.

Moreover, the French responded passively to the military actions of the Allied Powers, so the Germans could just let it go first." Trotsky frowned and expressed his doubts.

"Is it because the Germans are not planning to use the navy in their plan to attack France?" Blucher whispered. But he did not let Trotsky hear this, because when he said it, even

He himself thought it was a bit whimsical. Today's navy is no longer the ones with large-caliber naval guns in World War I. The German naval aviation can at least

In order to mobilize more than 1,000 aircraft of various types, this powerful aviation fleet was left unused, unless the Germans lost their minds. But as an army general, Blucher could not think of how the Germans would attack France.

He could only analyze from a strategic point of view that the most likely focus of the Germans' initial operations would be France. As for whether to take action, he had no idea.

"According to your opinion, China may win in Iran? Is that so?" Trotsky asked tentatively. "Both sides have a half chance of winning. The Middle East is not far away from the two superpowers. As long as China is willing,

Then China will provide far greater support to Iran than to Italy. The British will also do their best.

Stronger. Iran is luckier than Italy. Iran, which is at the crossroads of the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia, is a position that neither China nor the UK is willing to give up." Blouher paused and then said: "Will China's victory or defeat be different?

Will it affect our future policies? Will we be on the side of the winner?"

"No, we will not side with the Allies in any case. There is no future with Germany. We are just a colony that supplies various raw materials. The Germans are trying to make us forget the past glory of Russia. Let the whole

The nation has completely sunk."

"I know what you want to say. You want to say that China is the same. In fact, your understanding is wrong. China does not like to impose hard control on other countries. They prefer to play with checks and balances. Just like the British, they use Europe first.

Countries can use France and us to check and balance Russia. Since we want to check and balance other powerful countries, then

Then Russia must have a certain degree of strength. Although China has caused us to lose almost all the territory in Asia, it will give us a chance to develop. But the Germans are not. They are eager to let other countries degenerate to 1900. I

You must have heard about the German de-urbanization campaign in Ukraine?”

"The purpose of our study of Iran and France is more to sell Russia at a good price. Yes, you heard it right, using the blood of our soldiers in exchange for our continued funds and technology, as well as the possibility of a rise

"Although we cannot restore the glory of the past, if we operate properly, we can still become a powerful country in Eastern Europe." What Blucher said was cruel, but it is indeed Russia's current reality.

After losing nearly half of the European territory and about half of the population and industry. After losing the vastness of North and Central Asia, Russia only has a territorial area that can be considered a big country in Europe. The rest, whether it is population, industry or

Technology has been reduced to a level far inferior to that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In addition, the end of the war

Later, the influx of a large number of German industrial products directly crushed Russia's remaining industry. If the Germans did not still need Russia's mineral resources, I am afraid that Russia would not even be able to maintain this basic industry. At this time, Russia has already

It became a semi-colonial country, and its international status was even inferior to Turkey's today.

"Is this your own opinion or the opinion of the superiors? I always feel that you care too much about the army. To put it bluntly, you are too lenient!" Bluher said with a bad look. As a general,

As a patriot, although he knew that Trotsky was right, this excuse still deeply stimulated him. And from the other party's words, he could

Feeling that Trotsky wanted to seek help from the army in order to prepare for the future, Blucher believed that Trotsky had other trump cards, otherwise he would not have said it so openly. This is absolutely! He

He actually said that Russia, which was under the control of Germany, would stand firmly on the side of China. Who gave him such confidence? Is it the acquiescence of the top management or some other reason?

"I am a little lenient. There is a saying in China that the capable work hard. I think I have the ability. There are some things that only I can do, but you can't do." Trotsky was stunned at first. He didn't think it had been many years.

His old friend would suddenly fall out with him, but then he felt relieved and said with confidence.

"Haha, at least the army doesn't listen to you. You can only exert influence through us." Blucher retorted. Trotsky's confidence surprised him. He wanted to know what the other party relied on!

"The army is very important, but the importance of the army is reflected in its combat effectiveness. Whether we join China or follow Germany in the future, a strong Russian army will be our most important weight. But unfortunately, we are now

This army cannot be called powerful at all, and the other side even thinks that it is a waste of food to be used as cannon fodder. Look at us now, all the planes have been eliminated by the Allies.

The old goods that arrived could not even be replaced with spare parts. Because the Germans no longer produced this kind of aircraft! The artillery and firearms were all junk left over from World War I, and the ammunition used was even from 30 years ago! Like this

What can the army do?" Trotsky calmed down his excitement and continued: "Of course, this is not your fault. In this environment, no one can do well."

"Then what? Go on. You only told me half of what you said. You told me the rest. You took great pains to provoke me. You didn't want to get a beating. Do you have a way to change this situation? Do you have a way to restore the Russian Army of the past?

The glory and achievements?" At this time, Bluucher calmed down, staring at each other with his eyes, waiting for Trotsky's next words.

"Remember Generals Denikin and Kolchak? The original Tsarist Guards were the most elite troops in the entire First World War. Don't you have any ideas?" Trotsky said.

"Forget Denikin, he finally surrendered to China and stayed in China as an apartment. He was a gun for China, a gun used to fight the Germans. What's even more ridiculous is that this gun was eventually used by his owner.

Interrupted! This is a complete conspiracy." Bluher was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.

"Haha, we are still fighting the Germans. Why are other troops heroes and General Denikin's troops are other people's guns? Is it because they have received assistance and training from China? Okay, let's not argue about this issue for now."

With a livid face, Trotsky immediately waved his hand to give in.

"I need to make two points now. The first point is that no matter which side we are on in this war, we will eventually become a gun in the hands of others. We have to choose our position according to our own interests. The second point is that if we give

You have an opportunity, an opportunity similar to General Denikin's, will you accept it?"

"You can wait and answer, or you can go back and think about it for two days and discuss it with your colleagues. You only have one chance." Trotsky said, looking at Blucher who was hesitant to speak.

There is a saying in China that you should not put all your eggs in one basket. As a man who wants to do great things, Trotsky naturally knows that he must not hang himself from a tree. Although Trotsky is very optimistic about Blucher and believes that

This guy and his comrades can bring Russia's military strength back out of its trough

Gu, he originally planned to slowly convince his opponent, but from now on, it seems that there is not enough time. So he needs to be more straightforward and become a comrade or a stranger. Trotsky saw the hesitation in Blücher's eyes

and hesitation. The latter saw hope in the eyes of the former.

"We don't have much time, and it may still be some time before the final showdown between the two sides, but there is a saying in China that provides help in times of need. Only by helping China when it is more difficult can we get the greatest reward. Iran now is an opportunity. Both sides take action.

Everyone has some scruples, the scale of the war will not be very big, it is

This is a good opportunity for us to intervene. We only need to send personnel and officers to China, and then they will be responsible for everything else. We will not be cannon fodder, at least not the first wave of cannon fodder. I know you can always contact us

Those officers and veterans who were forcibly retired after the war." Trotsky continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Go back and ask your master for a complete plan. Also, set the price higher. At least we can't be cheaper than General Denikin back then." After a while, Blucher stood up suddenly and said angrily.
