"The Germans and the British are already locked in a fierce battle, should we send troops over to support them? Commander Novikov!"

After reading and sorting out all the reports on the German invasion of Iran that he had collected, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, immediately hurried to the headquarters and frowned deeply, looking at the Iranian battle map, and studying how to deal with the German offensive that was attacking, Novikov said loudly.

At this moment, Novikov not only served as the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the Soviet Air Force in charge of the Air Force, but also held the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Air Force.

Previously, he served as Air Force Commander of the Northern Front (later the Leningrad Front), where he was responsible for organizing the Soviet aviation to seize strategic air supremacy, organizing coordinated operations between the Front, long-range and anti-aircraft fighter aviation, and organizing the aviation to cooperate with the ground operations of the Army against the German attack.

Of course, in June 1941, the third day of Hitler's war of aggression against the Soviet Union, he personally commanded the Soviet aviation unit to dispatch hundreds of bombers and fighters to carry out surprise attacks on almost 20 German airfields, destroying more than 100 German planes in just a few days, and teaching the German army a profound lesson.

At the same time, it also earned him a good name, which made him enter the attention of Stalin.

And because the Soviet spies learned in advance that the Germans could attack Iran and Iraq and seize the oil resources of the Middle East.

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

Since the fighting situation on the Eastern Front was very optimistic, Stalin was also very entangled in whether to transfer Novikov, a veteran marshal of the Air Force; However, Stalin also knew very well that the German army was very difficult to deal with, and the German general who came to attack Iran and Iraq this time was Guderian, so Stalin thought about it for a while before reluctantly transferring Novikov to Iran.

"Tabriz, Rasht, Qazvin and Rezayya, as well as the suburbs of Tehran, have already been attacked by German bombers, as well as their damned carrier-based aircraft groups and aircraft carrier guns are also attacking Iranian ports!"

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

"Commander Novikov! The British line of defense is now in a precarious position! “

"If we don't support them, I'm afraid that Tehran, the capital of Iran, will face an attack by German troops! Because now Tehran airport has also been bombed by German aircraft three or four times, and many planes have been blown up! ”

"Even the British and Iranian pilots suffered heavy casualties, as for the American pilots, there were also a lot of casualties!"

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

"Didn't Churchill already send William Joseph Slim to Tehran instead of Lieutenant General Quinan as the commander-in-chief of Iran against Guderian's German forces? With his command skills should be able to cope with Guderian's tank and armored forces! ”

"And don't you forget that we are now also under attack by the German army, and if we now send troops to support the British army, then what will happen to the battlefield on our side? Is it to let us be defeated by the Germans? ”

Regarding the somewhat urging tone of Alexeina, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, Novikov, who came back to his senses, was very retorted.

In this regard, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, was very embarrassed and cramped and speechless, and did not know what to say to respond for a while.
