Because the situation of the war was really worrisome, the participants did not have too much politeness and went directly to the theme of the meeting.

The first priority now is, of course, the resolution of the crisis in Africa.

The Battle of the Suez Canal ended in the defeat of the Allies, and the British army was cut into two parts, the front retreated to the Libyan and Sudan lines, and the rear was driven to the Iranian area.

The successive victories of the German Army also led to the madness of the Navy, and Dönitz took the wolf pack tactics to the extreme, and the Allied fleet in the Atlantic suffered unprecedented attacks and heavy losses.

The defeat in the Battle of Suez cast a heavy cloud over the British Isles, and a huge sense of threat was simply overwhelming.

In order to protect the security of the British mainland, the British Royal Navy transferred back all the naval fleets that could be transferred back, tightly sealed the English Channel, and in addition to ensuring the Icelandic route to transport American aid, almost all the Atlantic routes were abandoned.

For a time, the Atlantic Ocean became a paradise for the German navy, destroying Allied merchant ships, blocking British shipping lanes, threatening Icelandic shipping routes, and visiting various neutral countries in South America.

What is even more terrifying is that after the German army occupied Egypt, the front did not continue to advance, but pointed the finger at Iran.

Iran was the last communication route to the Soviet Union, and as long as Iran was there, Allied supplies could continue to provide material support to the Soviet Union through the Cape of Good Hope, but once Iran was lost, the Soviet Union was almost completely isolated.

Especially at this critical juncture, there is credible information that the Iranian government is in contact with the German army, and there is a serious suspicion of falling against the German army, which adds uncertainty to the loss of Iran.

As early as the outbreak of World War II, Iran declared neutrality, but the founding emperor of Iran, Reza Khan, was very pro-German, in order to avoid future troubles, in 1941, the Soviet Union and Britain jointly attacked Iran, and soon occupied the entire territory of Iran, Reza Khan was forced to abdicate.

At this time, the German army was killing like a rainbow, and the resurgence of the Reza Khan regime was actually reasonable.

Therefore, in this extremely bad environment, the heads of state of the three countries of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union unanimously agreed that Jiang Haoran's Southeast Asian theater should bravely stand up and turn the tide, let them go west to India, block the advance of the German-Italian coalition forces, and launch an attack on the enemy on the premise of ensuring that Iran does not lose, so as to cooperate with Montgomery in Africa to recapture the Suez Canal.

In this regard, Jiang Haoran categorically refused, the reason is very simple, the German-Italian coalition is menacing, and the reinforcements may still be coming in a steady stream, and the Germans must know the importance of Iran, and the capture of Iran is just around the corner.

Although the title of the Southeast Asian Theater is amazingly large, the strength of the army is only four group armies, including three group armies of the expeditionary force and one group army of the British army, with less than one million troops, but the area to be supervised includes the entire territory of India and Burma, and now there is one more Malay Peninsula, and the entire Far Second Group Army cannot move its nest at all. The remaining Far Third Army had to take care of the whole of Burma and cooperate with the Indian defense line that had already been built.

I can't cope with this kind of troop allocation, where can I break west and attack the German army, if I don't grasp it well, India will lose it, so Jiang Haoran can't accept this plan.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill comforted Jiang Haoran, at present, the British army has repeatedly attacked the rear industry of the German army, and achieved very good results, don't look at the German army in front of them, but their logistics are already very fragile, as long as the German army in front of this round of attacks, the momentum will soon be sharply reduced, the Allies can increase troops in Southeast Asia, and the current situation will be reversed, as long as they can cooperate with the Afrika Korps to recapture the Suez Canal, everything will be solved.

Jiang Haoran is not a three-year-old child, so naturally he will not be moved by Churchill's remarks.

It is true that the British attacked part of the German industry, but could this really have any fatal consequences for them?

The answer is no, although the German colonies were divided after the end of the First World War, they were backward in productivity and far from Germany proper, so they did not have much influence on Germany at all.

After Nazi Hitler came to power, he took control of Spain in 1936 and occupied Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938.

The "Monihein Conspiracy" culminated in appeasement by ceding the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Germany, giving it 40 well-trained and well-equipped divisions and the second largest arsenal on the continent, an annual output equivalent to all British arsenals combined.

At the outbreak of World War II, Poland fell, and then Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, etc. were defeated and surrendered, and fell into the German-controlled area, and the whole of Europe except for the Soviet Union, Britain, Portugal, and Northern Europe have all been in Germany's sphere of influence, with an area of 5 million square kilometers.

Europe was the most productive region in the world at that time, after Hitler occupied these areas, all industries unrelated to the war were shut down and used to produce strategic materials, Germany used this program to feed tens of millions of troops and produce so many military weapons, supporting a huge military group, so the bombing of the British may bring a period of decadence to German industry, but this time will definitely not be too long, at most a month, they can fully recover.

At present, the Germans clearly know that Iran is the last important place to strangle the Soviet Union, and it is bound to be overwhelmed by heavy troops, which can be seen from their temporary abandonment of the Soviet battlefield, so at this time, with their own weak troops, rashly confronting a strong enemy head-on, if they do not do well, they will lead the war to Southeast Asia.

You must know that although the island army has withdrawn from Burma, the main force of the southern army is still hoarded in Siam and French Indochina, and once the German army gains strength in India, they may come out from behind at any time and attack the expeditionary force with Germany in front and back, and the second German and Japanese Indian division may become a reality.

Therefore, at this stage, the expeditionary force can only build a steel defense line on the western front of India to ensure India's security on the defensive, and the rear will step up the encirclement and suppression of the island army to eliminate them or drive them out.

Jiang Haoran's remarks made the entire venue silent for a long time, everyone here is the world's top strategists and tacticians, they can hear the power of it, Jiang Haoran is true.

But then the Soviet Union will have to sit back and wait.
