Chapter 1000: Defensive Master Modell

The least costly way to deal with a possible crisis is to conduct a military parade to show your resolve through a military parade, and at the same time, to tell your opponent through joint exercises that if your opponent dares to really do it, then you will entertain each other in the most violent way!

This is a common practice throughout the world.

Ciric immediately stated both of these methods, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Iranian issue. And now, his proposal immediately won the support of those present.

"Yes, we have to support Iran, and we have to send a good general to Iran, ready to help them fight." Marshal Keitel said.

Whether it is a joint exercise or a military parade, Germany has to send troops over, and in this case, Germany needs a general.

Who goes?

Now, the closest is Rommel, but Rommel is not available, his army is still advancing towards Baghdad, and even if Rommel advances to the Iranian border, there will be many problems.

Rommel came from Libya, Egypt, all the way, almost all of them were plains and deserts, in this area, tanks are quite important, Rommel can achieve the current results, almost all rely on advanced Black Panther 3 tanks.

However, Iran is different, the north of Iran is mountainous, in it, tanks cannot be advanced, Shirek of course remembers that in Afghanistan in later generations, how many tanks were destroyed in it, mountain battles, tanks are not suitable.

Then, the infantry should be sent over, and at the same time, there should also be a new general, a general who is more suitable for defense!

After all, Iran was only on the defensive, and Germany was not proud enough to take the initiative to invade the territory of the USSR at this time, and even if it did, it should have started from the endless plain of Ukraine, and not drilled into the mountains.

Who to send?

In Ciric's mind, a person had already come to mind.

Otto Moritz Walter Moder, who eventually became the German Field Marshal, was known as the "Master of Defense", "Hitler's Firefighter", and one of the three German defense masters because of his excellent defensive ability!

Another Wilhelm-Joseph-Franz von Loeb, who had already been sent to Finland by Ciric, to help Finland stop the Soviet attack, and now, to Iran, just in time to send Moder. Field Marshal Moder was a rising star among the German field marshals, because Germany was mainly attacking in the early stage, so it was not until Germany began to be inferior and the Allies began to counterattack that he showed his military talent, which made the Allied commanders look sideways, and he was called "the savior of the Eastern Front" by Hitler himself.

Moder is best known for his defensive battles against Rzhev, which repeatedly delayed the fall of the Third Reich, most famously for its resilient defenses, which inflicted heavy casualties on the Soviets and stabilized the long German defenses.

Compared with famous players such as Guderian and Manstein, Moder's aura is much dimmer. But he is often a headache for powerful enemies. When he is in good times, he refuses to let go of all opportunities, and when he is in bad situations, he is as difficult as a brute bull. Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Army has experienced countless vicious battles in his life, and the only defeat was in the hands of Moder!

What made Ciric even more admired was Model's loyalty to the Third Reich.

Historically, in April '45, the Allies occupied the Ruhr industrial area, and on April 21, Moder said to the intelligence staff: "My time of death has come. Then he led his adjutant into the woods near Duisburg.

"I have never been so disappointed because I am loyal to Germany," Moder said. After saying that, he raised his pistol and committed suicide. He quietly walked into a wooded field alone and ended his life with a bullet.

When the Third Reich disappeared, many soldiers chose to leave with the Third Reich, and such soldiers supported the most solid backbone of the Third Reich!

"Chief of Staff of the XVI Army, Major General Moder." "Send him to Iran, select an infantry division from the Sixteenth Army, and go to Iran together," said Ciric. Promoted Moder to the rank of Lieutenant General. ”

In the campaign to invade France, Moder ended up in the 16th Army, and when the war on the European continent ended, Moder was promoted to major general, and now, before making meritorious service, Moder was promoted to lieutenant general, this promotion, unprecedented.

Keitel knew what Ciric meant, and this was done in order to raise the level of attention of Germany, a lieutenant general, to protect Iran, in this case, to see if the Soviets dared to do it!

After receiving the news, Moder hurried to the wolf's den, which was his first time here.

"Your mission is to help King Reza Khan resist the invasion of the Soviet army, and if they dare to come, beat them up without worrying about any political problems!" Ciric meets with Moder and gives orders to Moder for the base camp.

Political issues, that are only considered by the weak, the harder the Soviets are beaten, the more they will be subjugated, if the Soviets win, they will only gain an inch, in the world of hooligans, the fist is the boss, and now, in this turbulent era, force is the best reliance!

The USSR and Germany have already done it more than once, the first time in Spain, the second time in Finland, and now, the third time! What are you afraid of! Let Moscow know that if it dares to be unfavorable to Germany, then Germany will definitely not be soft!

"Yes!" Moder said to Ciric, "I will certainly live up to my mission and help our fellow Aryans." If we drive out the Soviets, can we continue to teach them a lesson? ”

Moder was not worried about not being able to drive out the Soviets, but was asking if they could attack?

"Hold on to the original line of defense." "After all, we still have to take care of the face of the Soviets," said Cirek. ”

"Yes!" Moder saluted Shirek, his only problem was gone, he was left to go to the battlefield and teach the unrepentant Soviets!

When the news was heard, Germany's reaction was quite fast, and after Ciric's decision, the German ambassador to Iran urgently went to see the Iranian king.

Reza? King Khan, born in 1876 into a poor family in the mountains of Iran, was a mixed race of Persian men and Turkic women.

He joined the military from an early age and gradually rose through the ranks. He came to power in February 1921 in a coup d'état with the support of the British, and became Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Defence. In December 1925, he overthrew the Qajar dynasty and established the Pahlavi dynasty, becoming king.

Although he coup d'état with the support of Britain at the beginning, when he came to power, he found that Britain tied his hands and feet, and he was absorbed by Britain a lot of benefits.

After coming to power, he carried out a series of reforms, and secretly made friends with Germany in order to deal with the British and French powers. In his hands, Iran is also gradually becoming stronger and more open.

Now, he is an old man in his fifties, and the changes in the world make him see it, and he knows that Iran will definitely not stay away. It's just that he no longer has the fighting spirit of his youth.
