The British finally decided to withdraw from the war in Iran ahead of schedule, believing that since the Germans' Operation Hanging Garden, the British army's struggle in Iran had become meaningless, and that they could have been evacuated from Iran at that time, and that they had been able to fight side by side with Huaxia to the present time. So their retreat was beyond reproach. However, withdrawing from the war was a big deal after all, and the British, dressed in gentleman's skin, thought that they still needed to talk to Huaxia in a more formal way. So, Churchill came to Beijing on behalf of the British government, hoping that Huaxia would "understand" what the British government was doing, and of course, if Huaxia was willing to offer a reasonable price, then Britain could continue to support in some aspects.

"In the Iran War, the British government sent a large number of troops to defend the southeastern part of Iran as agreed, and sent a powerful aviation corps, and the British army fought on the front line during the months-long war, and repeatedly thwarted the attacks of Germany and its client states. We have expended a great deal of resources and manpower to fulfill our commitments to our allies, and now that it is only a matter of time before Germany wins in Iran, the British Empire government considers it a great waste of precious resources to continue fighting in this inevitable lost region, so the Empire has decided to withdraw its armed forces stationed in Iran. ”

Xu Jie was not very interested in the historical Churchill himself, and the brutal and arrogant approach of this British Empire supremacist in his bones was very unpopular, and even Roosevelt was sometimes unaccustomed to it. And when Churchill said these high-sounding words in front of Xu Jie, Xu Jie was even more dissatisfied with the British government and the Englishman in front of him with a hint of arrogance in his eyes! In Xu Jie's eyes, if it weren't for Churchill's firm enough to confront Germany. That's really useless!

"Your country has set a very bad precedent, when the war is not yet clear. While the friendly forces were still fighting, your country actually abandoned the friendly forces and chose to evacuate alone. This is a betrayal in a sense! Everyone came together for the common good. But your country, for the sake of your own selfishness, has put your allies in a very dangerous situation, clearly destroying the basis of the previous alliance! Xu Jie then stopped Churchill's explanation: "The right or wrong of this matter does not lie in your country's explanation, nor in how Your Excellency the Special Envoy sitting in front of me tells your country's suffering, it all depends on our understanding, you hope to get Huaxia's understanding, but if we are unwilling, then what you say is meaningless." ”

"I have always been a man of activism, and I consider myself a strong-willed man, and I can do what your country is willing to do, but I hope that today your Excellency will remember that it was the British who abandoned the first ally." Then Xu Jie waved his hand to signal that the latter could leave.

By this time, the war had come to an end. Huaxia has already paid a huge price for this, and Xu Jie will never allow a lack of money! Whether China can keep the northern region of Iran depends on how well the next battle is fought. The roads of the Germans at sea were already open, and the rate of replenishment would have increased significantly. The army and air force are recovering very quickly, and it is obviously unrealistic to stick to the original plan at this time, not only can the plan of cutting off the Eastern Railway not be realized, but now it seems that even the capture of Kirkuk may seem a little difficult, the German ground corps has regained numerical superiority, and after the withdrawal of the British Air Force, the number of the Chinese front-line aviation corps will be at a great disadvantage! Although not as much as the Germans estimated that there were only 500 available aircraft. But not to mention supporting ground operations, it is difficult to hold up a protective umbrella for ground troops! And at the critical moment, the British decisively sprinkled salt on the wound! I can't bear it!

However, it is obvious that China cannot give up Iran now, and Iran's significance to China in the future is too great. So we must not give up, since the Germans want to win or lose with a hammer, then Huaxia can only accompany to the end! Isn't it just to continue to increase the number of troops? In order to win, Huaxia has already made 120% of its efforts. In the end, it's almost such a trembling, so what about adding more? For this reason, Xu Jie signaled the Ministry of Defense to spare no effort to fight the last battle. There is no cap on the budget, as long as it can be won. Spend as much as you want!

With the support of Xu Jie and the close cooperation of the various military regions in China, the volume of material transportation from China to Iran has once again reached its peak, and the transport fleets that continue to sail out from the east coast of the Caspian Sea and the transport crews that take off from various airports in Central Asia have become a huge torrent, sending all kinds of equipment, fuel, and ammunition needed by the front-line troops to the front line, ship transportation is responsible for transporting heavy equipment, fuel, and ammunition, and transport aircraft units are responsible for transporting personnel, electronic equipment, and aero engines. At its peak, Iran's Tehran airport was marked by a large transport plane taking off and landing almost every five minutes. The strength of the air transport capability is breathtaking.

However, even so, the Huaxia front-line air force was still unable to reach the level of the German army in a short period of time. On the one hand, the throughput of Iran's northern ports is limited, and on the other hand, the Huaxia has suffered some losses in the previous battle. Qin Yue spared no effort to support the ground operation, but also prematurely overdrew the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia Air Force! When the Huaxia Strategic Air Force entered the battlefield, this overdraft reached its peak, and the entire Iranian fuel was consumed a lot in this battle. In the so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the Chinese Air Force has been in the limelight for a while, and now it is the turn of the Luftwaffe to show off its might.

So much so that later generations of war history researchers are talking about whether the first war of the Chinese strategic air force is appropriate. Opponents believe that it was precisely because of this attack that the Huaxia Air Force could only defend passively in the next phase of the battle, and therefore considered it one of the few failures in Xu Jierongma's life. However, it is supported that it was precisely because of the addition of the Huaxia Strategic Air Force that the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Corps was finally triggered. The powerful strategic air force directly bombed the heavy equipment and supply depots in the Austro-Hungarian rear into ruins. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat an opponent with 5 divisions by relying solely on one mechanized infantry division and the remaining forces of the Russian army. Judging from the ground engagement, Huaxia could only repel the opponent and could not form an encirclement when facing the Austro-Hungarian rearguard, which was not well supplied. And the Russian corps was even weaker in offensive warfare, far inferior to the appearance of the original defensive operation. According to the most conservative estimates, if Schrager withdrew to Kirkuk with the main forces of the Austro-Hungarian corps and a large amount of technical equipment. In a month's time, at most, after drawing enough infantry from other units, you can accumulate at least 3 infantry divisions. There will be at least one armored division among them! If this unit is put into the next stage of the campaign, then the situation faced by the Chinese Army will be even more difficult!

Of course. These are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being. Xu Jie and Qin Yue need to take care of their family backgrounds and deal with the next stage of the big war. The Middle East Theater of the Chinese Air Force needs to face not only the 1,000 or so aircraft of the German front-line aviation, but also the strategic bomber force that has been dormant since the Luftwaffe launched Operation Babylon! The losses of this unit in previous operations were not large, but the fuel consumption of these HE177 bombers, codenamed Griffin, was too great! At a time when the supply of fuel was insufficient and the pressure of air defense was very high, the Luftwaffe naturally had to give fuel to fighters instead of bombers! You know, a HE177 bomber consumes enough fuel for a squadron of BF109s to fill the inner fuel tank! And this time, when the German transport fleet said that the aviation fuel pipe was sufficient, the German strategic bomber forces, which had experienced glory and setbacks, were once again active! This is not good news for Huaxia!

"Your opponent has a good hand. And we're stretched! Qin Yue commented on the situation in the air forces of the two sides at that time in his diary. This time, the Luftwaffe had the ability to fight from the front-line trenches to the rear base of the Chinese Army. JU90 attack aircraft on the front line are responsible for battlefield support. JU88 and HE110 bombers are responsible for attacking targets in campaign depth and front-line air bases. And the HE177 strategic bomber unit is responsible for attacking the material distribution center, air base and transportation hub in the rear of China! If before this time the Germans were still afraid of the fighter units in China, then after the attrition of the previous stage, the number of fighter units of the Chinese front-line air force was greatly reduced, and the pressure on the bomber units in this case would naturally be much less! The Germans very much hope that the qiē experienced by Schrager not long ago can be repeated in Huaxia!

In the face of Qin Yue's complaints, Xu Jie tried his best to increase the number of front-line air force forces, especially the number of long-range fighters, although the range of the P51D aircraft in history was already very terrifying, but that was a later story, and the range of the P51B was like that at the beginning. And now the Huaxia Shicha Falcon fighter is not even as good as the P51B in terms of range! And so. The best aircraft in Xu Jie's hands is still the Foxbat aircraft, this veteran who has been fighting since the beginning of the Italian War and will continue to fight in the future!

"Damn, this plane can't be the Sword of the South China Sea United, right? One of my uncles served there. Their emblem is an eagle with a sword in its talons. No way. How did they get here? When the Foxbat fighters flying from the southeast landed at Qom Airport one after another, a ground crew member looked at the squadron badge on the plane and said in surprise. He really couldn't understand how the Sword of the South China Sea Wing, which had been stationed on Java Island, could send a plane here! It's a long way, isn't it?

"For the uninitiated, it is said that Tehran has fighter jets transferred from Wuhu. What is it from Java to this? This is much closer. From Java, you can fly directly to Ceylon and then transfer to Karachi. One more refueling will make it to us, although the Germans occupy eastern Iran. However, if the route is well planned, it can turn from Afghanistan to Iran. This time, it's a bloody investment! It is said that all the Foxbat fighter units of the front-line troops have been drawn over! A companion next to him said mysteriously.

Although what the two ground crews said was biased, it was impossible for Huaxia to transfer all the Foxbat fighters from all over the country for this battle, and even if they did, they would not be able to supply them! However, Huaxia did transfer a large number of elite aviation wings from all over the country to the front line, and the Foxbat fighter unit was the top priority! Almost all the Foxbat fighter units that have won the Golden Helmet Award for the annual air combat assessment in China have been transferred! The plane is coming, and the fuel and support must keep up. The number of fighters has swelled viciously, but the relevant support facilities have not kept up!

"Withdraw all the bomber and attack aircraft units on the front line, I guess we won't need them in this war!" With a stroke of his pen, Qin Yue withdrew the nearly 200 remaining ground attack planes and bombers from the front line from the battlefield, and these planes either flew back to China or were temporarily mothballed, and all the materials and supplies vacated were used to supply the flying fly fighter squadrons coming from afar. Coupled with the temporary increase in various supplies, hundreds of new Foxbat fighters have finally been arranged!

In addition to the Flying Bat fighters, Huaxia also shipped a large number of Shicha Falcon fighters from the mainland, so large that Qin Yue felt that the airport could not support the operation of so many aircraft, and Xu Jie's reply to him made the commander of the theater air force, who thought he was a tyrant, startled. "Many of these planes for you are ready to provide parts, knowing that your front line is more difficult, and it will be even more difficult after the Luftwaffe opens the film, so I directly threw the plane over to you to dismantle and provide parts, enough fun? Don't lose! What the? Can't dismantle so much? Let's use it as a reserve plane. ”

Although the twin-engine bombers are almost gone, the number of electronic warfare aircraft and watchtower early warning aircraft has increased instead of decreasing! Although the German electronic warfare technology level was very average, the Luftwaffe creatively integrated various electronic warfare methods to form a system, which caught the British by surprise. With the lessons of the British, China naturally cannot follow in its footsteps.

The Luftwaffe was unprecedentedly strong, and it is not at all an exaggeration for the Germans to say that they bombed Tehran directly from the cutting-edge trenches. At the same time, because the Chinese ground forces entered the two river basins, the airspace that China needed to defend was larger, and when the number of aircraft was not very sufficient, it became inevitable to improve the efficiency of dispatching. The density of fixed radar stations on the ground is insufficient, so it can only be compensated for by watchtower-type radar carriers. At the same time, considering that the other side may take the form of night air raids, interference with German radio navigation is also on the agenda, so in the case of a large-scale withdrawal of bombers, the number of electronic warfare and radar sentry aircraft has increased!

Although Xu Jie has done his best to increase the number of fighters on the Iranian front, but because of the limitations of space and logistics, the Huaxia Air Force is still at a disadvantage.
