Chapter 1005: Chestnuts in the Fire
Far north, Moscow.
"So far, our offensive is going well, and according to the plan, within three days, we will be able to advance to Tehran." Voroshinov said: "This time, we are attacking Iran, what a good idea, who came up with it?" ”
Voroshinov was also very puzzled, only Stalin and Beria knew that it was Khrushchev who had been exiled to Siberia who proposed the next target of the Soviet attack.
Although in the last incident, Khrushchev was disgusted by Stalin, but now, thanks to this meritorious service, Khrushchev will soon return to the center, because Khrushchev did solve a big problem for the Soviets.
The outlet to the Indian Ocean, this is something that every Russian leader will never forget, and whoever occupies the Indian Ocean will occupy the center of the world, which has been their dream for many years.
Originally, Britain and the Soviet Union signed a secret agreement, using India as a price as a condition for the Soviet Union to send troops to Germany, but later, the Finnish incident occurred, and the Soviet Union did not take action against Germany, and then Britain fell.
The Soviet Union did not suffer a loss, nor did it take advantage, and for the Soviet Union, not taking advantage of it was the greatest loss.
Now, the Soviet Union has been unable to conquer the Finnish question for a long time, which is quite a shame for them, and in the international arena, the Soviets have become weak, and it seems that they have returned to the era of Tsarist Russia.
Then, a change is needed! Soviet, a new breakthrough is needed.
When we look at the map of the world again, we can see that Germany has begun to encircle the Soviets from the south, and when Germany takes Iraq, it will seriously threaten the interests of the Soviets.
In this case, the Soviets had to do it early!
Smoking a cigarette pot, Stalin had a smile on his face: "Transfer Khrushchev back, I've been out for so long, I don't know if this Humpty Dumpty has become thinner." ”
Stalin was also satisfied.
"Iran is too big, and such a huge country is not conducive to our management." Molotov also expressed his opinion: "We should dismantle Iran into small states, for example, in the north of Iran, we can form the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Kurdistan, so that we can even radiate our influence to Turkey and Iraq." ”
As foreign minister, Molotov prefers to look at the problem from a political and diplomatic point of view, dismantling Iran and propping up northern forces, at least to consolidate the interests of the north.
"Yes, we need to support the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan and the Democratic Party of Kurdistan as soon as possible, let them form a republic, and safeguard the interests of northern Iran, so that our Baku oil fields can also be safer."
When they first sent troops, the Soviets didn't have that much appetite at all, they just wanted to occupy northern Iran, but now, the battle is actually a one-sided situation, so that the Soviets' appetite has finally grown, for them, it is more in their interests to occupy the whole of Iran, as long as they advance to Tehran, are they afraid that the Iranian king will not agree?
"Iran and Germany have always maintained close relations." At this time, Zhukov spoke: "Now, our behavior will provoke the Germans, will this plunge Germany and us into a large-scale state of war?" We're not ready yet. ”
Zhukov is sober-minded, Germany's strength is strong, the Soviets have suffered repeated losses, and now, to provoke wars, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to the Soviets.
Stalin shook his head: "We are not ready, Germany is not ready, Germany's goal is to conquer the United States, you probably don't know yet, the German bombers have secretly flown to the American mainland and carried out a successful bombing." ”
There were no impermeable walls, in short, the Soviet intelligence system, having noticed the explosions on American soil, finally conjectured that the Germans had done it.
Germany first supported the island countries and attacked the Pearl Harbor base in the Pacific Ocean, and then, Germany sent bombers to bomb the US mainland, Germany must want to fight with the United States, after all, the United States is supporting Churchill, and even the United States claims to enter a state of war with Germany!
With a war between Germany and the United States on the verge of breaking out, would the Germans come to provoke the USSR? This is one of Stalin's ideas, and now, to use this war as a test of how much Germany tolerated the Soviet Union.
Stalin was very confident that Khrushchev had completely analyzed Stalin and concluded that Germany would never offend the Soviet Union, and would even maintain friendly relations with the Soviet Union.
"We should pay more attention to the attitude of the United States than to Germany," Stalin said, "after all, when our influence extends to the Indian Ocean, it will pose a serious threat to the United States." ”
The free world has fallen in Europe, Britain is still struggling to support itself in the Middle East, and the United States intends to do its best to help Britain, but unfortunately, the Pacific Fleet was taken down by the island countries, and the shipping routes in the Pacific Ocean were cut off by the island countries, so George VI could not hold on at all.
In the Indian Ocean, there will be a vacuum of power, and if nothing else, George VI will go into exile in Australia, or Canada, and at this time, it will be just the time for the Soviet power to fill in!
In this world, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and only by constantly expanding your sphere of influence is the most basic way to survive!
Stalin's eyes looked at the map on the wall, and now, the forces of the Red Soviets are about to enter the Indian Ocean, so that they can radiate their influence to the whole world!
How will the Americans react to this Soviet offensive? No matter what they think, the most they can do is to protest, they can't even solve the problems of the Pacific, and there are still a lot of troubles, can they take into account this Soviet invasion?
The protests against the United States were completely ignored by the Soviets.
Stalin guessed correctly, but he missed a more important point, and his behavior caused Roosevelt a big problem, and also left a legacy for the Soviets.
"Stalin, he is simply an idiot, at this time, he still wants to expand his territory, he is simply like Poland in the past, he does not know whether he is alive or dead!" When the news arrived, Roosevelt was furious.
Roosevelt felt that the foreshadowing in front of him was all in vain, and he planned to whitewash the Soviet Union, and even the United States wanted to provide support to the Soviet Union and let the Soviet Union fight Germany, but now it is good, the Soviet Union has given the United States an extremely bad image!
