"The German and British troops have been trapped in a fierce battle. Should we dispatch troops to support them? Commander Novikov!"

After reading and sorting out all the reports on the German invasion of Iran that he had collected in his hands, he immediately rushed to the command center with a deep frown, checking the Iranian combat map, and studying how to deal with the German offensive that was launching an attack, Novikov said loudly.

At this moment, Novikov not only served as the deputy national defense people's committee member in charge of the Soviet air force, but also served as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet air force.

Previously, he served as the commander of the Air Force of the Northern Front (later Leningrad Front), responsible for organizing Soviet aviation troops to seize strategic air supremacy, organized coordinated operations between Front Air Force, long-range aviation and air defense fighter aviation, and organized aviation forces to cooperate with the army's ground operations to fight the German attacks.

Of course, in June 1941, the third day after Hitler launched the Soviet invasion, he personally directed the Soviet aviation troops to dispatch hundreds of bombers and fighters to launch a surprise attack on almost 20 German airports. In just a few days, he destroyed more than 100 German aircraft, giving the German army a profound lesson.

At the same time, he also gained a good reputation for him, thus allowing him to enter Stalin's attention.

However, the Soviet spies learned in advance that the German army might attack Iran and Iraq and seize oil resources from the Middle East.

So Stalin dispatched Novikov to Iran to deploy and prepare for the German army in advance.

Because the battle situation on the Eastern Front was very optimistic, Stalin was also worried about whether to dispatch Novikov, a veteran air force marshal; however, Stalin was also very clear that the German army was not easy to deal with, and the German general who attacked Iran and Iraq this time was Guderian, so Stalin thought about it and then sent Novikov to Iran helplessly.

"Tabriz, Rasht, Ghazvin and Rezay, and the areas in the suburbs of Tehran have been attacked by German bombers, and their damn carrier-based aircraft groups and aircraft carrier guns are also attacking in various ports in Iran!"

When Alexe, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, was reporting to him, Novikov was muttering to himself.

"Commander Novikov! The British army's current defense line is in danger!"

"If we don't support them, Iran's capital Tehran may face the attack of the German army! Because Tehran Airport has been bombed repeatedly by German aircraft, and many of the aircraft have been blown up!"

"Even the British and Iranian pilots suffered heavy casualties, and as for the US pilots, there were many casualties!"

Looking at Novikov who was in deep thought and silence, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, continued to disturb him loudly.

"Hasn't Churchill sent William Joseph Slim to the past Tehran to replace Lieutenant General Quinan as the commander-in-chief of Iran against Guderian's German army? With his command ability, he should be able to deal with Guderian's tank and armored forces!"

"And don't forget that we are also attacked by the German army at the same time. If we dispatch troops to support the British army now, what should we do on the battlefield here? Will we be defeated by the German army?"

Novikov, who came to his senses, was asked back with pleasure when he was a little urging tone by Alexe, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance force.
