Chapter 342: A Solution to the Iranian Question

"Andrey, as you have deduced, the religious power in Iran is now gradually entering the political arena, and we can even predict that Iran will establish a religious government in the future, what do you think about this? How do you think we should adjust our strategy to the most appropriate? Andropov asked Andrei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Iran's Pahlavi is now about to be knocked out of power by the people, and the Iranians' voice for that leader is getting higher and higher, all of which are very consistent with Andrei's previous judgment, so Andropov wants to continue to listen to Andrei's analysis.

"First of all, no matter how Iran changes, it is good for us." "After all, a pro-American government is about to step down from the stage of history, and Iran's policy, whether it remains hostile to us or friendly with us, in short, as long as it is anti-American, it will be good for us," Andrei said. ”

Historically, the Iranian government is indeed a strange one, scolding the United States and the Soviet Union, but living an extremely nourishing life.

"Andrey, you say that the new government in Iran is both anti-American and may not be friendly to us?" Ustinov asked.

At the peak of the Cold War confrontation, the countries in the cracks either turned to NATO or the Warsaw Pact, and few remained independent.

Now, Andrei's assertion makes Ustinov very curious.

"Yes." "After all, our beliefs are different," Andre said. Moreover, the people there are fanatical, a fanatical people, who can do anything. ”

The Middle East has always been a powder keg in history, and in later generations, those fanatical YSL organized extreme religious groups, and even exterminated humanity.

"If Iran does not turn to the United States or to us, what will be the strategic benefit to us?" Ustinov continued. Originally, Iran was a piece of fat, and it was on the lips of the Soviet Union, and if Iran, after being anti-American, fell to the Soviet Union, the benefits would be enormous.

"Of course, there are benefits, we will open a passage south to the Indian Ocean!" Andrei calmly analyzed: "Those fanatical nations cannot be analyzed in a general way, they are anti-American, which means that the American-made weapons equipped in their armies will not be able to provide effective logistical support, and if they overthrow the existing government, they will not trust the existing soldiers, especially those high-tech officers and soldiers, such as pilots, have been trained in the United States, and religious people must not trust them." Moreover, they will certainly promote their ideas of statecraft, such as ruling the country with their YSL laws, and in this way, there will certainly be some secular forces that will be antipathetic to the new policies. ”

With the passage of time, Andrei has gradually revealed that he is not proportionate to his age and mature, on the Iranian issue, Andrei has been thinking for a long time, and now, a set of plans, finally completely mature.

"You're saying that we're secretly nurturing these worldly forces to turn them against the government?" Ustinov reacted immediately.

The full implementation of the YSL law, the status of women is extremely low, many people are extremely dissatisfied with this, Andrei can at least think of a large women's army, it should be no problem, and there must be men who want to be part of the new extreme rule is also dissatisfied with the new extreme rule. These people will either be assimilated, exterminated, or rise up in revolt!

"However, Iran is a country with a lot of war potential, and can it overthrow a new government just by raising up some people who are disgusted with the government?" Andropov asked, most people are fanatical, only a few are calm, how big waves can these worldly forces set off?

"It is very difficult to rely only on internal contradictions, but the spiritual leader of Iran, who has lofty ideals, is not only satisfied with his own kind of rule in Iran, he wants to export the revolution and turn the whole Middle East into an extreme YSL rule. In particular, Iran's neighbors, Iraq, with whom they have always had territorial disputes, and Iraq's Saddam Hussein, is also a powerful figure. Andrei continued to analyze.

Iraq! A country rich on oil, Saddam Hussein is a person with extreme national pride, he has always claimed that Iraq's army is the fourth largest army in the world, and his great Arabism is also extremely widespread, with the support of Saudi Arabia and other countries, towards the export of revolutionary HMN, launched an attack, the Iran-Iraq war, will soon begin!

"When they are inseparable, it will be our chance, we will go south from the north and open up the passage of the Indian Ocean!" Ustinov understood Andrei's vision and said excitedly.

Open the passage to the Indian Ocean in the south! This is the dream of many rulers of Soviet Russia! Now that the Soviets have broken through the blockade of the Western world in the Far East, if they make another breakthrough in the south, the living space of the Soviets will be greatly increased!

And now, this opportunity has been placed in front of us!

"Comrade General Secretary, I propose to abolish the Central Asian Military District and merge all the units of the Central Asian Military District into the Turkestan Military District." Ustinov said to Andropov.

The Central Asian Military Region, which includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, is the target of operations in this military region, and with the relaxation of relations with China, it is completely possible to shift the focus of operations to the Middle East!

Controlling Iran, of course, is not only as simple as obtaining a southbound passage, but also the purpose of controlling the oil of the Middle East! If you control the oil of the Middle East, you will break the neck of the Western world!

"If we are to achieve our goal, we need to sell weapons to Iraq in large quantities." Andrei continued to calmly analyze: "For example, our MiG-23 and MiG-25 can be sold to Iraq, and at the same time a large number of military personnel will be stationed in order to achieve the purpose of increasing our influence in the Iraqi army." ”

Historically, the Soviet Union sold MiG-25 fighters to Iraq, which was to simultaneously export ground crews and pilots, and Iraqi pilots had to act under the command of Soviet instructors, so that the purpose of increasing influence in the Iraqi army and even controlling the Iraqi army could be achieved in disguise.

In fact, if the Soviet Union had commanded the Iran-Iraq war, it would definitely not have been as tragic as it was in history. The modern war at the end of the day has been turned into a trench war in the era of World War I, a meat grinder.

"Our ultimate goal is to divide Iran, with Iraq, Iran's secular forces and us occupying a piece of territory." Andrei said: "With our capabilities, we cannot occupy the whole of Iran, and the attitude of the Iranians towards us is more hostile. ”

In fact, even when occupying part of the territory of Iran, Andrei actually hesitated in his heart, will there be guerrillas like cattle hair, ambushing Soviet troops everywhere?

"But what about Afghanistan if we do our best to deal with Iran?" (To be continued.) )
