In Yan Shao's eyes, Iran, that is, the current Kaja Dynasty, has never been a big problem. Even Yan Shao is confident that he can defeat the entire Iranian regular army with only one infantry division―――――― no, not even an infantry division is needed, only one infantry brigade is enough.

(Let's call it Iran, although Persia seems to be more in line with the situation at the time, but I still feel a little awkward, after all, I am used to it)

And then, as Yan Shao said, Iran has never been taken seriously by Yan Shao, but...

The British are different...

In the past, the situation in Iran has been complicated, with the north being controlled by Russia and the south by the British.

In other words, this is a country with some history, but it is also a very difficult country.

Later, as a result of the First World War, Russia collapsed, and the situation in Iran finally improved slightly. But one thing that has not changed, is that the northern part of Iran is still under the British sphere of influence.

In other words, Iran is still a miserable country.

And...

If it wants to annex Iran, it is difficult to say that Britain will not say anything. Although Yan Shao is not afraid of the British, but now is the time for development, and there is no point in rash conflict, at least in Yan Shao's opinion...

So...

Britain's attitude must be taken into account, and most importantly, it is difficult to say anything about annexing Iran. Will it irritate the UK. After all, Yan Shao has annexed a lot of territory, even in the Middle East, two-thirds of Russia's territory has been annexed by Yan Shao.

It's hard to say whether the British would be wary of Yan Shao's annexation of India? And for the British. It is clearly impossible for India to give up ...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The benefits of annexing Iran can be known even if you think about it on your knees.

First of all, the annexation of Iran can open up the connection between Central Asia and the territory of the Middle East, and secondly, Iran has a large number of oil resources, although others do not know, but Yan Shao still knows...

One could even say. If Yan Shao even controls Iran, then it is equivalent to controlling all the oil resources in the Middle East.

But on the other hand! Iran is adjacent to Afghanistan and Pakistan and has annexed Iran. Then the Indian colonies of China and Britain can be said to be close at hand. It is difficult to say whether the British, who are very close to India, will have any overreaction.

Although in Yan Shao's plan, India is also part of the liberation, or part of the great Far East co-prosperity plan. But. That's definitely not right now. It is definitely not what Yan Shao wants to do now, and if Iran is obviously annexed, the British will never agree to it, because that would be tantamount to putting India in danger.

Considering China's greed for land in the past, the British had every reason to believe that Yan Shao was also interested in India―――――― and of course it was...

Therefore, unless Yan Shao plans to meet the British now. Otherwise, it's better to take another step.

Otherwise...

Before getting Iran. I'm afraid Yan Shao will need to have a fight with the British first...

"It is certainly not possible to engage in a direct conflict with the British, not to mention that our navy is inferior to the British, and it is impossible for the Congress to pass through it alone, in that case..." Isn't it possible to try to go around..."

"Detour?" Hearing the general's words, everyone else looked over, but Yan Shao's heart moved, because he actually had this idea.

"That's right..."Frowning slightly, Wu Peifu looked at the map and spoke. You see, we can go by water, the Turkmen province borders the Caspian Sea, we can go directly to the Caucasus by guò water, and then we can cross part of the territory of Turkey, and then we can reach Iraq..."

"In this case, don't you still need to cross the territory of Soviet Russia..."Hearing Wu Peifu say this, Feng Guozhang shook his head and said.

Yan Shao had already said the reason why he could not clash with Soviet Russia before, so Feng Guozhang was a little unimpressed by the method proposed by Wu Peifu.

"It's different." Wu Peifu argued. "If we fight all the way from Europe, it will definitely cause a fierce reaction from Soviet Russia, but if we just take a sideline and occupy a small part of the territory from the Caucasus, then at least the reaction of Soviet Russia will not be so fierce, and there will be more room for maneuver. We could even go the other way, and that is to ask the Russian government for permission to build railways directly in Europe, so that things would be much easier..."

This time there was no need for Feng Guozhang to speak, Yan Shao had already shook his head and said.

"Impossible, the former, we have already taken a lot of advantage from Soviet Russia, judging from the intelligence transmitted back from Soviet Russia by the Special Affairs Bureau, that is, Luo Wenying, our previous sweeping operation in the Ural Mountains has annoyed Soviet Russia, but now it is only on the edge of the cordon, but if we want to set foot in the Caucasus, I am afraid that this powder keg of Soviet Russia will really explode..."

"Of course, we can also bet on whether Soviet Russia will swallow its anger this time, if it wins, it will naturally be happy, but if it loses, then things will be in trouble..."

"As for the matter of borrowing the road, it is even more troublesome than the previous one, we have a conflict with direct Soviet Russia, and we can also say to other countries that we are trying to find a way to clean up the red elements entrenched in Eastern Europe, although the great powers will not be happy, but it is not good to say much, but if we build a railway directly connected to Iraq on the territory of Soviet Russia, wouldn't it be a clear warning to them that we have ties with Soviet Russia..."

"So many weapons will suddenly appear in Soviet Russia, Britain and the United States and other countries have begun to have doubts, but they can't grasp the handle for the time being. When we do that, we're almost taking the initiative to send the evidence to them, so that's it. It's even more unfeasible than the previous one..."

There is another point that Yan Shao didn't say, that is, if you take the water route, after all, it is not as safe as taking the land route. After all, the relationship between China and Soviet Russia is not very friendly, not to mention that Soviet Russia and Britain and the United States are not really without the possibility of union, if it is really in addition to the problem, even France may become an enemy, let alone Soviet Russia and Britain and the United States.

If only that were the case. The navy of Soviet Russia could fully threaten the passage of land and sea in the Caspian Sea ...

Such a danger is also something that Yan Shao is unwilling to bear, so...

"It's still a borrowed road. It's just borrowing another way..."

Saying this, Yan Shao had already looked at the territory of northern Iran.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"You see, from Turkmenistan province, you only need to pass through the northern part of Iran. We would then have direct access to the Iraqi provinces. That is, it can be connected directly to Iraq by land..."

"What do you mean..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Feng Guozhang and the others immediately understood. Do you mean, to build a road in northern Iran? ”

"It's not just roads." Yan Shao shook his head slightly. "In addition to roads, there are also railways, after all, compared to railways, the transportation capacity of roads is really poor..."

"It's a really good idea." Hearing Yan Shao's words, Feng Guozhang bowed slightly. The others nodded after a moment's thought.

If only to build a road in Iran. Then there is no need to anger Soviet Russia, and there is no need to worry that the British reaction will be too great. It is indeed a good policy, and there is no need to worry that Iran will turn its head against China, after all, it is really difficult to pose any threat to China with Iran's ability alone―――――― if Iran can pose a threat to China, it is estimated that several provinces in the Middle East have reached the point where they are about to be unable to preserve.

I'll make it up later.,Sorry.,0-0 before five o'clock.
