Vice Admiral Philip, commander of the German Navy, stood on the flagship light cruiser "Hamburg" and looked at the "Eastern Han class" battleship of the Chinese Navy in the distance, with a very solemn expression on his face. He had already received a telegram from home, and His Majesty the Emperor ordered him to return to Germany with the fleet. His mission had been accomplished, and if the officers and men of the German Army's 29th Infantry Division were escorted back, the mission would be successfully accomplished.

However, Vice Admiral Philip was very unwilling in his heart, and in the face of the oppression of the Chinese Navy, the German Navy had to choose to compromise and avoid concessions, which was a shame for a soldier. However, who called the German Navy inferior to others? If the German Navy is not inferior to the Chinese Navy, will the Chinese Navy dare to force them?

"The German Navy must become stronger, and we will definitely not be worse than the Chinese Navy!" Lieutenant General Philip made up his mind.

The German warships set sail again, and they turned in front of the 11th Squadron of the Chinese Navy, escorting the transports out of the sea. This time, Germany's oil exploration plan in the Persian Gulf also ended in failure. The Chinese blocked them from the opportunity to acquire their own oil fields. Although, at the moment, geologists from Germany have discovered an oil field northeast of Ahvaz in Khuzistan province and are trying to determine the reserves of this oil field. However, now because of the Chinese's obstruction, they have to stop developing this oil field.

Of course, the Germans did not gain nothing. According to the agreement they reached with the Chinese Empire, they imported 10 million tons of oil from the Chinese Empire at a price of two Chinese dollars per ton for five consecutive years, which is enough for the current German oil consumption. And there is also excess oil that can be used as an oil reserve. Only, like this. Germany's energy lifeline is always in the hands of the Chinese, as long as the Chinese are not happy one day. It can cut off the energy lifeblood of the Germans. Therefore, the Germans' search for oil never stopped.

The defeat in the Persian Gulf made Germany understand that it was almost impossible to obtain oil where the influence of the Chinese Empire was strong. As a result, the Germans turned more to the Americas. There, China's influence is relatively weak, and at the same time it is far from China, if oil is found. It can be saved from the robbery of the Chinese.

The German Navy escorted the Army home, which killed the Ottoman Empire. Originally, the infantry divisions sent by the Ottoman Turkish Empire had already crossed the border and entered the territory of Persia. However, when the German Foreign Ministry regretfully informed the Ottoman Turks that they had been intercepted by the Chinese Empire and had to return home, the Ottoman Turks had to order the troops that had already crossed the border to withdraw immediately. Otherwise, once the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army entered the Persian Kingdom to fight, the Chinese Empire would also intervene. The army sent out is undoubtedly like a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return.

Without the assistance of the Germans, the Ottoman Turkish Empire itself would not have dared to challenge the Chinese Empire. The gap in national strength between the two sides is too great. Originally, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was also ready to join the German Empire. Forced the Chinese Empire to compromise and retreat. But unexpectedly, the Germans were the first to coax.

Both the German Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire gave up support for the Persian kingdom one after another, which directly caused the fate of the Persian kingdom to be tragic. On their own. They simply could not withstand the offensive of the Afghan army.

The Battle of Damgan has come to an end, with the Afghan Army inflicting heavy losses on the Persian Army. The main force of 250,000 people, lost 150,000 people. The remaining more than 100,000 people. The wolf bèi fled back to Tehran, and together with the troops originally stationed in Tehran, the Persian army had only 200,000 soldiers left to fight. Moreover, the morale of these troops is extremely low, and even their combat effectiveness has been greatly affected. In such a situation, how is it possible to resist the offensive of the Afghan army?

On August 4, 1857, the Afghan Army approached Tehran from the southeast. At this moment, the Afghan army that has entered the territory of the Persian kingdom to fight has reached as many as 300,000 people. The original 200,000 regular troops, the subsequent 100,000 were tribal armed forces drawn from various tribes in Afghanistan. Although the armed combat effectiveness of these tribes is not strong, it is no problem to fight a tailwind war. What's more, their main task is not to fight the Persian army, but to protect the logistics supply lines. The Afghan Army fought deep into the territory of the Kingdom of Persia, and the biggest problem it encountered was the problem of logistics and supply. The tribes of the Persian kingdom posed a great threat to the Afghan army's logistical supply lines, so that they had to divide their forces to protect the logistics supply lines, thus restricting the attack power of the troops.

Now, the logistics supply lines are all handed over to the tribal armed forces to guard, and after being equipped with advanced weapons from the Chinese Empire, these tribal armed forces can be described as changing shotguns for artillery, bullying those tribes of the Persian kingdom, without any pressure at all. Of course, these tribal armed forces in the Kingdom of Afghanistan have not very good military discipline, and wherever they pass, the people's resentment is boiling.

Afghan king Akbar Khan didn't care about this, anyway, after the Afghan kingdom annexed the Persian kingdom, it mainly oppressed and exploited the Persian kingdom as a colony, and the native of the Afghan kingdom was his foundation.

When the Afghan army arrived at Tehran, the king and high-ranking officials of the Persian kingdom were already in chaos. They probably never imagined that the day would come when the vanguard of the Afghan Army arrived in Tehran, they were shocked.

"Allah, what should we do now! Those damned Afghans are coming, will our army be able to withstand them? "Nasser. Fourth. Shah's face was flustered. After all, he is a young man who has not experienced any storms and waves.

"Your Majesty, we still have 200,000 troops, and relying on Tehran and Afghans to fight in the streets, we may be able to resist them." Prime Minister Mirza said. After all, in terms of troops, the Persian Army and the Afghan Army are not much different, and the difference in weapons and equipment between the two sides is not large. The only difference is probably the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops.

"General Jalali, will our army still be able to withstand the attack of the Afghans?" Nasser. Fourth. Like a drowning man grasping at the best straw, Shah looked at Admiral Jalali with hope.

"Uh, Your Majesty. The army will hold on to Tehran! Admiral Jalali said with a dark face. He could only answer like this, but this answer was clearly not Nasser. Fourth. What the Shah wants to hear. He hoped to hear an affirmative answer, and hoped that Admiral Jalali would tell him that the Persian Army would be able to defeat the Afghan Army in Tehran.

"Prime Minister, maybe we should find a way back, and what should we do if Tehran can't hold on?" Nasser. Fourth. Shah said with a look of despair and frustration.

"Majesty, I see. I'll arrange it! Prime Minister Mirza said.

Nasser. Fourth. Shah nodded, then got up and left the palace hall, he was too tired now, too tired, he needed to be comforted and rested by the concubines in the harem, as for state affairs, leave it to the prime minister to take charge!

"Admiral Jalali, you immediately go and mobilize the army and try your best to find a way to hold Tehran!" Prime Minister Mirza ordered.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Admiral Jalali nodded, and walked away quickly.

Prime Minister Mirza also left the palace, but instead of returning to his own chancellery, he went to the German legation in the Kingdom of Persia.

The veteran Prime Minister Mirza knew that the Persian Kingdom was estimated to be unable to hold on, and if he wanted to survive, he had to leave the Persian Kingdom. Otherwise, once Tehran is broken by the Afghans, those Afghans will definitely be cut to the roots. When the time comes, not only Nasser. Fourth. The Shah will not escape death, and as the prime minister of the kingdom, the Afghans will certainly not let them go.

Prime Minister Mirza, after meeting Minister Léo, made a request to go to Germany to form a government in exile. Minister Léo gladly agreed. Although, Nasser. Fourth. The Shah will be the king of the dead country, but for Germany, there is still a little use. In the event of a war between Germany and the Chinese Empire in the future, these people could come in handy. Although it will not be of much use, it should not be a problem for them to mobilize the Persians to destroy the oil fields of the Chinese in the Middle East.

Beginning on August 5, the Afghan Army launched a fierce offensive against Tehran, where they concentrated nearly 300 artillery pieces to storm Tehran. Although the Persian army also had a lot of cannons in their hands, few Persians were skilled in handling them. Even if they were barely able to fire, they didn't have any accuracy, and they were able to shoot the shells, but the places where the shells fell were too far away from the enemy.

The heavy shelling almost blew up half of Tehran into ruins. Fourth. None of the Shah's royal palaces were spared. When the first shell landed in the garden of the royal palace, the king was frightened and immediately cried out to leave Tehran.

Prime Minister Mirza then escorted Nasser. Fourth. The Shah fled from Tehran, and they were going to cross the border and enter the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Then from the Ottoman Empire to Germany, where a government-in-exile was formed. However, if you want to regain your country, you don't know when you will have to wait. The Afghans have the support of the Chinese Empire, and it is almost impossible for them to drive out the Afghans.

Nasser. Fourth. After the Shah's escape from Tehran, the fall of the Persian kingdom was inevitable. (To be continued......)
