Chapter 1152: Caucasian Front (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Comrade Joseph, the formation of the Caucasian Front has been completed. For some time, war materiel has been accumulated. At the first command, the Caucasian Front will be able to attack! Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph nodded: "Comrades, the Persian Gulf in the Middle East is the most important source of oil for the Germans. As long as we can capture the Persian Gulf, we will destroy those oil wells. Without the oil of the Persian Gulf, the Germans' mighty war machine would not be able to move. Their tanks and planes, will become a pile of scrap metal. We will easily defeat them! ”

Indeed, if the Russian army can really occupy the Persian Gulf, it will have a great impact on the war in Germany. Although Germany has oil fields in Romania and Libya, as the economy grows, Germany and Europe as a whole consume more and more oil. Coupled with the ongoing war, the consumption of oil has been further expanded. The oil fields of Libya and Romania alone will not be able to meet Germany's oil needs. When the time comes, it will even be necessary to limit oil consumption and give priority to ensuring the supply of the army. But if that's the case, it will inevitably cause the people to resent. Therefore, the Russian army's attack on the Persian Gulf will pose a great threat to Germany.

However, Germany is not unprepared. Although Germany did not have troops in the Persian Gulf, security was the responsibility of the local army. However, the Republic of Turkey has long stated to Germany that in the event of war, their army will be on guard against Russian troops in the Caucasus.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is limited, and it is very difficult to say whether it will be able to withstand the offensive of the Russian army. However, as long as they can delay the actions of the Russian army for a moment, it will be enough. Germany will quickly send troops to land in the Persian Gulf to protect the oil fields there.

The Kingdom of Kuwait was a German protectorate and the most important oil exporter. As soon as the German transports and merchant ships arrived there, the troops and equipment, they could soon disembark.

At the time of the war against Burussia, the Germans used sixteen army groups. The other four armies were deployed in the South Seas and Australia. In the British Isles and in northern France, there was also an army group. In addition to this, Germany had two army groups that acted as reserves. If something happens in the Persian Gulf, the two armies will quickly board ships and transport them to the Persian Gulf. With Germany's maritime strength, it only took half a month for the two armies to be transported to the Persian Gulf. The Turkish army, which has been able to withstand the Russian army for half a month, should not have much of a problem.

"Comrades, we must seize this opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Germans and let them know that the great Burussia is not so easy to deal with! If we can win, we can turn defeat into victory! Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Everyone replied.

Although, they probably did not think that they would be able to defeat Germany by conquering the Persian Gulf. However, that would at least be very beneficial to Burussia.

"Send a telegram to the Caucasian Front, and in a week, go on the offensive! Take the Persian Gulf, they will be the heroes of Burussia! Joseph said.

Shaposhnikov's heart sank, he knew what Joseph meant. Having taken the Persian Gulf, the Caucasian Front is the hero. If they fail to accomplish this task, they will probably become the sinners of Buo. When the time comes, the leadership of the Caucasian Front will be dealt with.

As Buo's losses on the battlefield grew, Joseph became more and more impatient. This made him more and more strict with the generals who led the troops.

But even then, there is nothing you can do. Although Joseph is not a tsar, his current full strength is greater than that of the tsar. At the very least, the Tsar did not have the power to execute ministers or generals at every turn. But Joseph could!

Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. As the hometown of Comrade Joseph, Georgia has developed very well in recent years, and it is also the place where Joseph is most admired in Burussia.

Most of the units of the Caucasian Front were troops stationed north and south of the Caucasus Mountains. Those soldiers are almost all locals here. After receiving the order to form the Caucasian Front, Kozlov, Shamanin, and Torbukhin were preparing for the offensive.

The Caucasian Front was still very strong, with the 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th and 51st armies under its jurisdiction. It's just that compared to those main army groups on the Western Front, the number of troops is much smaller. The 44th Army was formed on the basis of the 40th Infantry Army, under the jurisdiction of the 20th and 77th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 17th Cavalry Division, and several other units. The 45th Army was formed on the basis of the 23rd Infantry Corps of the Transcaucasian Military District, under the jurisdiction of the 138th Mountain Infantry Division, the 31st and 136th Infantry Divisions, the 1st Mountain Cavalry Division, and part of the artillery units. The 46th Army was formed on the basis of the 3rd Infantry Corps of the Transcaucasian Military District, under the jurisdiction of the 9th and 47th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 4th Infantry Division, the 7th Battalion of the Independent Armored Train, artillery and other units. The 47th Army was formed on the basis of the mechanized 28th Army of the Transcaucasian Military District, under the jurisdiction of the 63rd and 76th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 236th Infantry Division, the 6th and 54th Tank Divisions, artillery and other units. The 51st Army was a newly formed unit with the 9th Infantry Corps, the 271st and 276th Infantry Divisions, the 40th, 42nd and 48th Cavalry Divisions, and a number of other units.

Among these group armies, the 51st Army was undoubtedly the most powerful. But the most powerful attack is the 47th Army. Two tank divisions with quite a few tanks. In battle, it undoubtedly has a strong assault power.

On October 24, the commander of the Caucasian Front, Lieutenant General Kozlov, convened a combat meeting of the generals of the subordinate armies and divisions and above.

All the generals present at the meeting had serious faces. They all know that this means that after the formation of the Caucasian Front, an offensive will be launched. Although, in the direction of their attack is the Persian Gulf, the first thing to deal with will be the Turks and the local indigenous army. But these generals were equally worried about whether they would fight the Germans later. The Turks and other indigenous armies, they don't care. However, the Germans were different. The Germans were on the battlefield of Burussia, but the main forces they fought were defeated one after another. And will they, the Caucasian Front, with a large number of recruits, be able to beat the Germans? That's obviously unlikely.
