Chapter 139: Do the Iranians Know (Gal. 2)

Since Yakov was captured, he had to be rescued, and if he died, there was nothing he could do.

In this case, Stalin was absolutely embarrassed to say it, after all, he was going to lead the entire Soviet, and if too many troops were used to save one of his sons, it would have a bad effect, his son was a son, and someone else's son was not?

In order to save him, more people died, is it worth it?

Therefore, Voroshinov simply put forward a new opinion, since it was sent to Tehran, then simply knock Tehran down, such a strategic significance is even more important, take Tehran, then everything will be over, Iran will become Soviet, are you afraid that Yakov will not be rescued?

"Yes, let's just mobilize the army and fight Tehran directly!" Khrushchev then reacted, this is a good way, killing two birds with one stone, just right.

Seeing that the two of them were full of interest, Zhukov in the back couldn't help but shake his head.

If you look at the map, Tehran is not very far from the Caspian Sea, and it seems that the Soviet army can rush through it in a day, but in fact it is the opposite, except for a section of the Caspian coast that is a plain, and further south, it is all mountainous.

The northern part of Tehran is shrouded by the tall Alborz Mountains, and there are even more tall mountain ranges such as the Damavand Mountains with an altitude of 5,600 meters, as well as countless rivers and two reservoirs.

Why fight Qazvin? Because from the border of the Caspian Sea, the mountain road to Qazvin is relatively easy to walk, and from Qazvin to Tehran, there is a relatively wide road, so that Qazvin can be regarded as the western gate of Tehran, and if you want to capture Tehran, you must gnaw the hard bone of Qazvin.

Now, to bypass Qazvin and go directly to Tehran?

How to wrap around? There are only sheep intestine paths around, and it is not easy for tanks to move past! Is it to repeat the terrible path of the cavalry being wiped out by the formation in the previous period?

In his heart, Zhukov was extremely disgusted with such a way of commanding indiscriminately regardless of any common sense of marching, but he still held back.

After all, it was Stalin's son who was captured, and at this time, if Zhukov poured cold water, then his fate would be terrible, and the aftermath of the purge had not yet calmed down, even if Zhukov had made a lot of contributions, it would be easy to be beaten like Tukhachevsky.

Zhukov didn't want to touch the mold, especially since this was only a local war, and it had nothing to do with the life and death of the Soviets, the big deal was just to lose more troops.

Zhukov, who used soldiers like a god, also knew not to spoil the fun at this time, and deliberately hid backwards, but, as if he had seen through Zhukov's thoughts, Stalin's eyes were actually on Zhukov's body, and then he spoke: "Zhukov, what do you think? ”

Damn it! Zhukov cursed in his heart, this is simply trying to pit his own rhythm, at this time, it is definitely inappropriate to say that he will not fight, is that to give up saving Stalin's son? It is not appropriate to say that it is fighting, Zhukov can already have a premonition, if he fights, it will definitely be a defeat, and when the time comes, Stalin will put the responsibility for defeating the war on Zhukov.

Zhukov couldn't carry this pot, he quickly came up with it in his head, and besides, he already understood what Stalin meant.

Zhukov could see it, but why couldn't Stalin see it? Now, Stalin is undecided, so he wants to hear Zhukov's opinion, but unfortunately, no matter what Zhukov says, it is all wrong!

Countless schemes, quickly turning around in Zhukov's mind, suddenly, Zhukov thought of something.

"Comrade Khrushchev, I would like to ask, do now the Iranians know the true identity of the captured Yakov?" Zhukov did not directly answer Stalin's words, but asked Khrushchev on the side.

Do the Iranians know? This question is really important!

Khrushchev was suddenly asked, how could he know if the Iranians knew or not! However, Yakov is Stalin's eldest son, and it is all secret in the army, and only a few people know about it, and the Iranians, I'm afraid it's more likely that they don't know, right?

Thinking of this, Khrushchev suddenly understood the true meaning of Zhukov's question, and suddenly, he secretly scolded himself for his stupidity.

If the Iranians did not know Yakov's true identity, then Yakov was just like everyone else, an ordinary prisoner, at least now the Soviet Union has not done anything brutal, both sides should abide by the Geneva Conventions, and Yakov will not be treated in the prisoner of war camp.

However, if the Iranians knew Yakov's identity, it would be troublesome, and perhaps Yakov would be used to coerce the Soviet leadership, and then Stalin would have been in trouble.

And now, both sides are working hard in Qazvin and want to make a big fight, and if the Soviet army turns around and attacks Tehran, there will be too many doubts, and if one can attribute the cause of these captives to Yakov, it will bring even more trouble to the Soviets!

Thinking of this, Khrushchev's face was already pale, he had already left the center of power once because of his mistakes, and now, he could not make any more mistakes!

The expression on Khrushchev's face was cloudy, he did not speak, and everyone was not stupid, and immediately understood the meaning.

This matter cannot be publicized, let alone made a big splash, and the best way now is to secretly send capable personnel to rescue Yakov!

Zhukov, who was in a hurry, solved his predicament with a word, did not offend Stalin, and pointed out Khrushchev's stupidity, Stalin did not speak, turned around, and slowly smoked the pot.

"Qazvin's plan remains unchanged, continue to attack Qazvin!" Stalin said: "Come here, Beria, I have a special task for you." ”

Khrushchev's face was ugly, he knew that his status in Stalin's heart had fallen again, he could only look at Beria and go to another room with Stalin, needless to say, he must have discussed how to rescue him.

Although in normal times, Stalin did not communicate much with his eldest son, but when something really happened, Stalin still cared about his son.

At this time, Yakov, who was far away in another world, was staying in a dark and damp cell with his comrades.

"These Iranians, will they kill us?" A soldier looked at the moonlight shining through the small window and couldn't help but say.

"Of course not, we are prisoners of war and protected by the Geneva Conventions, but I would prefer that we die on the battlefield." Yakov said, glancing at Ivan.
