Chapter 508: The Tehran Conference

Having found a way to deal with acoustic homing torpedoes, the Japanese thought that the operation would not be too problematic. However, when the Japanese brought Indian troops back to Australia through the fleet, they suffered heavy losses in the face of the newly equipped Wehrmach-class submarines and wire-guided torpedoes.

And unlike the acoustic self-guided torpedoes of the past, these wire-guided torpedoes are not only faster, more accurate, but also more ruthless!

As a result, by the time the Japanese brought back to Australia the troops from India, they had already paid the price of several divisions in the vast Indian Ocean.

Fortunately, in the end, the Japanese still transported most of their troops back to Australia, otherwise in the face of the losses on the list, I am afraid that they would really want to cry without tears.

In addition, after inspecting the nuclear industrial base in Lop Nur, Yan Guang soon returned to Beijing to prepare for another major event.

As Yan Guang once said, he is also very busy.

And now, there is such a big thing that he needs to do, and that is to rush to Tehran to attend a meeting...

That is, the so-called Tehran Conference...

Historically, because of Iran's own pro-German tendencies, Britain and the Soviet Union once joined forces to invade Iran, which is the so-called Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran.

The Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran was a joint military operation between Britain and the Soviet Union from August 25 to September 17, 1941 in order to ensure the safety of oil fields and supplies to Iran. As a result of the invasion, King Reza Khan abdicated and Nazi Germany was wiped out of all its influence in Iran.

However, unlike history, before the British and Soviet invasions of Iran, the Wehrmacht stationed in Central Asia had already invaded Iran under the direction of Yan Guang, and completely annexed Iran and made it a province of China.

Let's not mention the uprisings that took place in Iran after the annexation of Iran. After China annexed Iran, Britain and the Soviet Union had no excuse to invade Iran.

And because of the need for China's support, Britain and Russia also had to recognize China's annexation of Iran.

Of course, they will certainly not be reconciled.

And in 1943, the pattern of the whole war began to change.

Originally, in 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II, the Allies were defeated all the way, first France surrendered more than a month after the start of the war, and then the Dunkirk retreat, Britain had to abandon the entire European continent, and hid in the British Isles to endure the German bombardment.

After the start of Operation Barbarossa, Russia, which was originally entrenched in Eastern Europe, was also swept by the German army, with millions of Russian troops suffering heavy losses, and even the capital Moscow was threatened by the Germans.

Japan, on the other hand, is also wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia.

With few rivals in Southeast Asia and the support of China at the time, the Japanese swept almost all the way in Southeast Asia, and finally the Japanese expeditionary force even attacked India, conquered all of Australia, and finally even launched a surprise attack on the Americans in Hawaii.

As a result of the surprise attack, the US Pacific Fleet was completely annihilated, and Japan took advantage of the situation to seize Hawaii, which the United States was forced to abandon...

In short, for the first two years of the war, the state of the allies was a terrible mess.

However, all this changed greatly after China also got involved, first Japan was beaten by China in Southeast Asia, and then Germany was driven out of Moscow.

The situation in the Allies has already begun to reverse...

Now, Yan Guang is going to fly to Tehran to have a meeting with the other heads of government of the Allied forces about the war against the Axis powers.

The meeting was originally scheduled for Cairo or Casablanca, but was ultimately chosen in Tehran, partly because of its proximity and partly because of China's strong demands. …,

Although several other member states of the Allied Forces were already very wary of China at this time, the Allied Forces still needed China very much at this time, so they naturally did not want to have a stalemate with China on this matter.

So when the Wehrmacht fully occupied the islands of the South Seas and began to prepare for an offensive against New Zealand and Australia, the heads of state of the Allied forces also went to Tehran...

――――――――――――――――――――

The heads of state will travel to Tehran, so Tehran's security will naturally become important. Although Tehran came to Tehran at the request of China, to be serious, since China has only been annexed to Tehran for a few years, there are still many unstable factors in Tehran.

Especially because of Tehran's pro-German tendencies in the past, you must know that the reason why Britain and the Soviet Union invaded Iran in the first place was because the Iranian king refused to expel the Germans from Iran.

And now, with the help of the Iranian resistance, it is not known how many German spies are hiding in Iran.

In 1943, in order to negotiate the question of speeding up the course of the war and the arrangement of the post-war world, the heads of state of the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain decided to hold a meeting in Tehran, the capital of Iran, at the end of that year. Hitler, unwilling to accept defeat, appointed his confidant and head of the SS special forces, Skolzeni, to assassinate the "Big Three", who had successfully carried out the rescue of the Italian Mussolini on September 12, 1943.

Therefore, security work must be tightened...

"But to be honest, I should have done it a long time ago..."

When he said this, Yan Guang was lying on a bed.

To be exact, it should be lying on a bed mounted on an airplane...

It took more than 4 hours to fly from Beijing to Lop Nur, but if you fly from Beijing to Tehran, how much time will it take?

The last trip to Lop Nur had already made Yan Guang suffer enough, so before leaving this time, Yan Guang deliberately asked people to remove most of the seats on the plane, and then installed a bed on it, so that even during the flight, Yan Guang could rest comfortably on the bed.

Yan Guang can even choose to sleep in this bed if needed...

Anyway, Yan Guang didn't need to be like Principal Jiang, who took a plane to the sky above the battlefield to inspect the situation, and gave some messy orders by the way...

Yan Guang not only installed a bed on the plane, but also made a small room inside, although there was no television for him to watch―――――― there was already television in this era, and the Germans had already watched the Olympics on television at the Berlin Olympics in the early years, that is, before the outbreak of the war.

However, the technical level of TVs in this era is still lower after all, and watching TV on the plane requires too much technology...

But it doesn't matter, anyway, I'm lying on the bed now, with an adjutant on the left and right, and a secretary in my arms, holding a book to turn the pages for Yan Guang, which is much more enjoyable than TV or something...

"Wow..."

A series of knocks on the door.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing a knock on the door, an adjutant got up from Yan Guang's arms, straightened his clothes, and asked crisply.

"The plane is about to arrive in Tehran..."

Hearing the adjutant's question, an accompanying officer spoke outside the door.

"Okay...", the adjutant turned his head to Yan Guang. Sir, the plane is almost here..."

"Got it..."nodded, and after tidying up his clothes, Yan Guang also got up. Let's go. ”

After about two or three minutes, the plane began to land at the airport in Tehran. After taxiing a little on the runway, the fuselage vibrated and the plane landed on the runway.......

"Whew, Tehran..."

Looking at the completely different scenery outside and the mainland, Yan Guang slowly stepped off the plane.

At this time, the mayor of the city of Tehran, an Iranian official who had previously served in the Pahlavi dynasty, came over.

"Mr. President..."

"How many people have come?"

"The heads of state have almost arrived..."

In fact, it's all here, and Yan Guang is the slowest one.

Almost all the heads of state who came to Tehran this time were major members of the Allied Forces, such as Churchill in Britain, Stalin in Russia, Roosevelt in the United States, and Charles de Gaulle and Henry in Free France. Giraud.

Henry? Giraud is a five-star general in the French Army (the equivalent of a four-star general in NATO countries such as the United States). He commanded the forces of northern France during World War II, was captured by the Germans in 1940, and after escaping in 1942, he became commander-in-chief of the French army in North Africa. In 1943, he served as president of the French National Liberation Commission with de Gaulle, and retired in 1944 due to disagreements with de Gaulle.

Henry at this time? Giraud has not yet had a disagreement with de Gaulle, let alone retired from his current position, so this Tehran meeting, Henry? Giraud came with de Gaulle.

As for why France participated in this meeting, it was because of the demands of the United States, Britain and Russia.

Since China's influence had even expanded to Europe at this time, the United States and Britain and other countries also began to discuss plans to support France. Although France's performance in World War II is really ugly, France is after all a large country in European history, not to mention that today's Vichy France also has a certain strength, if France can stand up from scratch, it will still play a very role in counterbalancing China's influence in Europe.

Of course, it is also to counterbalance Russia, which is also a threat to Western countries.

And for the United States, it is also very important to use France to balance Britain, after all, after the defeat of Germany, if there is no country like France, then it is difficult to say that Britain will not dominate on this one...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Have you arrived?".

Hearing the mayor of Tehran say this, Yan Guang nodded.

"Where do they live now?"

"At the moment, we are staying in the consulates of each country in Tehran, and we have made proper arrangements, so please rest assured that there will be no problems..."

When he said this, Tehran's mayor made a gesture of loyalty.

In order to fight Iran's idea, Yan Guang made a lot of infiltrations into Iran, and he was one of the results.

Of course, no one knows whether this guy's loyalty is on the surface or even in his heart. But it is indeed a good choice to let him be the mayor here, after all, he is relatively obedient among Iranians.

In fact, this is also something that cannot be helped, although China has an overwhelming advantage over Iran, but it is not a simple thing to eliminate the resistance of the Iranians after all, so the Nationalist government always wants to release some goodwill...

While Yan Guang was still chatting there, at the American Consulate, Roosevelt, Churchill and Charles de Gaulle also gathered to discuss the Tehran Conference. He has been automatically excluded.

After all, of all those present, hardly a single Soviet Union would like the Hammer Sickle Doctrine.

"Do you really want to do this? I think it might be better to just stop the war...", Churchill looked at Roosevelt and de Gaulle. "The power of the Chinese has expanded faster and faster, and if we do not retain as many countries as possible that can compete with China, the future world may be..."

Just now, Churchill put forward the idea in his heart, that is, to stop the war like this. …,

In other words, a peace treaty was proposed to Germany and Japan, and conditional peace talks with the Axis powers were not out of the question, as long as those two countries were willing to occupy some of the countries they were currently occupying.

After the successful dismemberment of India, the most important thing for Churchill now was to limit China's expansion and prevent China from occupying Australia as well.

Obviously, if Germany and Japan, which still have considerable strength, can continue to exist, it will undoubtedly be a very favorable condition for counterbalancing China. After all, both Germany and Japan are now quite hostile to China.

And if China does not agree, then Britain and the United States can take this opportunity to break away from the war and let China face Germany and Japan at the same time. Even Britain and the United States and other countries can take advantage of this opportunity to support Germany and Japan behind their backs, so that these countries that Churchill hates from the bottom of his heart will fight each other.

As for forgiving Germany and Japan or something, it is naturally impossible, but in order to be able to obtain this war, Churchill was even willing to cooperate with Russia, which he hated the most, in that case, what is there to cooperate with the Axis powers once and for all?

For Churchill, as long as China can be eliminated as the 'greatest threat to the civilized world', then even with the damned fascists can be cooperated.

However, listening to Churchill's words, Roosevelt and de Gaulle both shook their heads after a moment of silence.

"It's impossible..."

When Roosevelt said this, he said it in an affirmative tone.

"Because of the incident at Pearl Harbor, the people at home had an extremely strong dislike for Japan, and in the course of the war, in order to stir up morale, we also used many means, and now it is a time when the Allies are in a good situation, but suddenly want to declare a cessation of the war, and the people at home absolutely cannot accept it."

De Gaulle, who was on the side, also nodded, but since France at this time was completely dependent on Britain and the United States, de Gaulle did not speak.

At this time, Roosevelt also continued.

"And even if we were at the same time, would the people of England agree?"

During the bombing of London, many ordinary people died in Britain, and many people in Britain already hated Germany, especially the Nazis, and now it is time for a counteroffensive, if Churchill suddenly announces the cessation of the war, even if he was the prime minister of the British, I am afraid that he will be torn to pieces by ordinary people.

And thinking of this, Churchill could only be silent...

――――――――――――――――――――

Not long after Churchill's proposal was refuted, the five-nation summit, the real Tehran conference, was held.

At this meeting, the heads of state of the five countries had direct contact for the first time, and they also had a lot of conversations with each other, but Yan Guang could clearly feel that the other four heads of state were clear about their resistance. Regarding this emotion, Yan Guang just smiled lightly in his heart.

At the same time, the five countries also raised many issues at the meeting.

After about half a month of normal meetings, the entire Tehran meeting finally came to an end. At this meeting, many issues were resolved among the countries, and at the same time, a number of points of view were agreed.

However, the most important question is the division of the post-war world pattern.

At the meeting, the heads of state reached a consensus, that is, after the meeting, President Roosevelt announced at a press conference in Casablanca on the 24th that the Allies would carry out the war between Germany, Italy, and Japan until the "unconditional surrender" of the three countries―――――― that is, the war would continue until the Axis powers were subdued...

The conference also discussed the African, Mediterranean, and Pacific wars in the late Second World War and subsequent operations against the Axis powers, and consulted on the intensification of the bombing of Germany, Turkey's position in the war, and the fate of the colonies. At the same time, it was determined that Japan would return all the islands it had occupied in the Pacific region since the First World War. …,

In addition, the Soviet Union was paid some land in eastern Poland, and Russia promised to participate in the war against Japan after the war against Germany ended. The decision to open a second theater in Europe by 1 May 1944, the Normandy landings, was also adopted.

But the most important question is about the United Nations.

Following consultations among the heads of state, it was decided to establish the United Nations to replace the League of Nations of the past. It has to be said that the League of Nations has indeed played little role in the past.

At the same time, the Heads of State also discussed the location of the headquarters of the United Nations.

There are a few options, such as London in the UK, Paris in France, Brussels in Belgium, and Moscow in Russia―――――― where this hope is minimal.

There are also Beijing and Shanghai in China, Washington and New York in the United States, Berlin in Germany, Tokyo in Japan, and even Rome in Italy――――――.

However, Hawaii is currently the most popular, because according to the consensus reached by China and the United States, Hawaii will become an independent country in the future, and at the same time, China and the United States will also form a line on the location of Hawaii, scoring each other's Pacific Ocean...

In short, the whole conference is roughly equivalent to the historical conferences of Casablanca, Cairo and Tehran combined... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )β€¦β€¦οΌŒ
