Chapter 999: Iran is in crisis
In the decryption of later generations, the empire has many top-secret plans, such as the source of life, which is to create the best Aryans, and after a few generations, they will even become gods.
Ciric is not so superstitious, for him, the Protoss is far away, and the most important thing is to let the population of the empire grow.
This award ceremony will cause a sensation throughout the empire, a large number of women, will be stimulated, for the empire to have more people, they don't have to worry about the burden, the empire has enough funds to solve these problems, their children can receive a good education and medical care from a young age, and when they grow up, they will become the most useful generation of the empire.
In the past, Shirek wanted to vigorously encourage childbearing, but the conditions were not met at that time, because after giving birth, the empire needed to spend a lot of resources to support these populations, and at the same time, the number of people on the production line would be reduced.
And now, with the whole of Western Europe under the control of Germany, Germany has a lot of resources at its disposal, and there are enough industrial workers to liberate the women of the Reich, whose main task in the future is to give the Reich a population!
Well, it's time to lead by example, it's not enough to have only one boy, you have to have a few more.
After the meeting, Ciric met Reinhardt on his way back to the Wolf's Den, and he was very nervous.
"Führer Shirek, our intelligence officer, observed the unusual actions of the Soviet troops." "Soviet troops are massing on the Iranian border, massing in large numbers," Reinhardt said. ”
The wars were one after another, and the fighting of the empire almost never stopped, and now, in the process of just ending the bombing of the United States and still confronting the Finnish battlefield, the Soviets actually stretched out their hands to Central Asia!
Ciric frowned suddenly, his own crossing has changed history, and with it, there have been more new changes.
The Soviets in Finland suffered defeat, obviously they will not be willing to lose, and now, the war in Finland is not over, the Soviets want to continue to annex more territories!
Judging from the map, Iran is in close proximity to the Soviet Union, and on both sides of the Caspian Sea, it is the territory of the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union wants to invade Iran, it must attack from these two directions.
As for the motive for the invasion of the Soviet Union, it is also obvious, of course, that is, to protect their Baku oil fields and expand the depth of defense between them and Germany!
In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, it was the main oil-producing region of the Soviet Union, the Baku oil field.
Located on the Apsheron Peninsula on the western shore of the Caspian Sea, Baku is a very old city, dating back to the 5th century and becoming the capital of the Baku Khanate in the 18th century.
In 1806 Baku was annexed to Russia, and in 1920 it became the capital of the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. However, in the beginning, it was just a backward city like the others, and there was not much development.
The change here began with the discovery of oil, and the first drilling rig was built between 1871 and 1872. By 1873, there were more than 20 small refineries in operation here.
After the establishment of the Soviets, it became the property of the Soviets, who intensified their exploitation here, and by the beginning of the 20th century, the Baku oil field became the most productive oil field in the world, the industrial center of the South Caucasus and the Russian oil base. Since then, Baku has been known as the "City of Money".
Especially now, when oil production in Baku is at its peak, how high? Just look at this figure, oil production here accounted for seventy-one percent of the total production of the USSR!
As the German blitzkrieg swept across Europe, military strategists realized the beginning of change, using the charge of armored mechanized units to make the previous trench warfare a thing of the past, and all this, oil was needed!
And Baku, too close to Iran!
Historically, the Soviets did not have much to worry about, because Rommel's footsteps did not cross Egypt, but now it is different!
Rommel's army, swept all the way from North Africa, has entered the Middle East! They have conquered Saudi Arabia and are now advancing towards Iraq, which will soon reach Iran!
What does it mean if German troops reach Iran? German bombers can visit the Baku oil fields at any time!
Historically, after Germany invaded the Soviet Union, it hoped to be able to reach the Baku oil field and obtain the valuable oil there, but now, Germany does not have this need, but this does not mean that the Baku oil field is not important.
This is the heart of the Soviets, and without the Baku oil fields, the oil production of the Soviet Union will drop sharply, and the Soviet Union may be at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation with Germany!
Therefore, the Soviet Union must protect the Baku oil fields, and if it gains greater strategic depth, it can deploy more interceptor fighters along the way to prevent the Germans from bombing!
On the other hand, of course, it is the greedy nature of the Soviets, who are constantly thinking about expanding their territory, and now, there is an absolutely good opportunity for them to occupy all of Iran!
For the Soviet Union, it is a lot of killing, and it can also take revenge, compared to Khrushchev's proposal to make trouble in the Brest fortress, it is obvious that this trick is bigger and easier to achieve, after all, Iran is a soft persimmon, easy to pinch!
"We must not allow the Iranians' conspiracy to succeed!" After returning to the wolf's den, Ciric put the idea of having more children for the empire behind him, and one after another emergencies awaited him to make a decision.
Iran, which was not in the sight of the officers under Ciric, was suddenly the most important thing for the entire empire!
"We will do everything we can to ensure that our allies are not harmed, that we can support Iran more than we do with Finland, and that we will not hesitate to tear our faces with the Soviet Union here." "I suggest that we immediately hold a joint military exercise with Iran," Shirek said. ”
Ciric's attitude is very resolute.
In this world, a weak country has no right to speak, if it is a small country and has nothing, then it will be nothing to continue to live and develop in the primitive era, but many such small countries have resources.
For example, in some places in Africa where birds don't poop, there are important minerals, gold, diamonds, etc., and for the locals, these things are the source of their suffering.
And the same is true of Iran, whose treasure is oil.
The use of oil was known to the ancient Iranians as early as the time of Zoroastrianism. They used oil to light the flame of light and keep it alive. Later, oil fields were often found near these Zoroastrian fire temples. (East China Zhixiong remembered Mingjiao, the blazing holy fire, burning my body, this holy fire is oil.) )
Iran, on the other hand, is now a close ally of Germany, and the two countries have held hands with great difficulty.
