"Comrade Shaposhnikov, we are now desperately producing tanks and armored vehicles. The T-34 tank, in particular, is about to be mass-produced. It will be a powerful tank. I have already decided to produce this tank in large quantities. When the time comes, our oil consumption will rise even further. Judging by the oil reserves we have, we simply won't be able to last long. Even if the Americans could supply us with oil, how much oil would they be able to ship? The capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway is very limited! Joseph sighed.

Originally, he also thought that after the Russian army conquered the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, Germany could fall into an oil crisis. But he did not expect that his strategic goal was not only not realized, but also put Burussia in a predicament. The oil crisis is about to befall Burussia! This will be a fatal blow to the Burussians.

Shaposhnikov nodded, he also knew how terrible this problem was for Burussia. If not, because of the lack of oil, Burussia will not be able to hold out much time in the German offensive.

"Comrade Shaposhnikov, we must send troops to defend Baku. If the Baku oil field can be defended, it will be the best. If it really can't be defended, then blow up the oil wells and other equipment in the Baku oil field, and definitely not let these equipment fall into the hands of the Germans! Joseph said through gritted teeth. He would rather destroy those wells and equipment than let the Germans take advantage of them.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Shaposhnikov replied. However, he did not think so. In the case of the oil fields in the Middle East, the Germans do not have a taste for the little production of the Baku oil fields. For Burussia, the Baku oil fields are indispensable. However, for the Germans, that was nothing more than chicken ribs. Of course, Joseph gave the order, and he had to carry it out.

"In addition, all the oil extracted from Baku will be transported away before it is lost. Those oil intruders and technical experts must also be withdrawn. Let them look for oil in other lands. Our territory is so vast that I don't believe there is no oil anywhere else. Only by rediscovering oil can we completely end this crisis! Joseph said.

Joseph's guess was correct, Burussia has many oil fields in addition to the Baku oil fields. Especially in the West Siberian Plain, the oil resources here are very rich. But unfortunately, all that oil is under the permafrost, and with current technology, it can't be extracted at all. Won't Russia in later generations rely on the sale of these oil and gas resources to redevelop Russia, and even be able to wrestle with the United States?

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Shaposhnikov replied.

"So, how many troops can we send to reinforce the Baku oil fields now?" Joseph asked.

Shaposhnikov thought for a moment, and then said: "At present, I am afraid that only troops will be drawn from the Southern Front and the direction of Josevgrad. Winter had come, and the German Army Group D had stopped its offensive. If we were to temporarily redeploy troops from the region, there should be no problem. It's just that I don't know if it's in time. The Turks are not far from the Baku oil fields. ”

"Okay, let's do it for now! If it is too late, let the troops hold on to the northern part of the Caucasus Mountains, and absolutely not allow the Germans to break through to the Don valley and the lower reaches of the Volga! Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Shaposhnikov replied.

Early the next morning, Joseph submitted a plan for the reconstruction of the Caucasian Front. This time, the Caucasian Front will have the 60th, 62nd, 64th and 69th armies under its command. Although these group armies are all newly formed units, when other units have tasks, they can only draw new troops.

The newly formed Caucasian Front will have Lieutenant General Vatukhin as commander, Major General Susekov as political commissar, and Major General Shevchenko as chief of staff. As soon as this army group was formed, it would rush to the north of the Caucasus Mountains to defend the German army from moving north. As for holding the Baku oil fields, Shaposhnikov has no hope at all.

As Shaposhnikov expected, both the Turkish and German troops, having eliminated the Russian army, began to march towards Azerbaijan. There is no doubt that the Baku oil field is undoubtedly their primary target.

After the Turkish army invaded Georgia and Armenia, it was resisted by the Russians. Although, Burussia's army has almost been wiped out. But those people are extremely opposed to them. They organized a lot of guerrillas to fight against the Turkish army.

In the face of these resistances, the Turkish army was not relentless, and Enver directly ordered that anyone who posed a threat to the Turkish army should be directly wiped out. Plus the Turks were originally hostile to the Russians. As a result, the Turkish army began to kill people on the territory of Georgia and Armenia. It is not known how many Russians died at the hands of their guns.

This, of course, is the cruelty of war. In war, human life is inherently very fragile.

At the same time, the German 21st and 22nd armies were rushing from northern Iraq to the Caucasus. However, they need to climb over the Zarogos Mountains. The German troops, armed with a large number of heavy weapons, made them even more problematic when crossing the mountains. Therefore, the commander of the German Army Group E, General Rundstedt, had to send a telegram to the Turkish chief of staff, General Enver, asking the Turkish army to occupy Baku.

There was no way, when the Germans arrived over the mountains and mountains, the daylilies were cold.

Admiral Enver gladly accepted this order. He ordered the 1st and 2nd armies of the Turkish Army, to sweep away the Russian-Burvorussian resistance forces in Georgia and Armenia, and he himself led the 3rd Army of the Turkish Army to the Baku oil fields.

At the moment, the Russians are trying to get the oil from the Baku oil fields, as well as the people and machinery. The things that can't be taken away are buried like this.

At the end of November, when the Turkish Army's 3rd Army was only 20 kilometers from Baku, the Russian troops remaining in Baku detonated the explosives planted.

Suddenly, all the oil extraction equipment and oil refining equipment in the Baku oil field were destroyed in the explosion. At the same time, the oil well was also ignited, and the flames and smoke billowed into the sky.
