Chapter 281 281 The Red Sea Welcomes the Return of the Hero

On February 15, 1936, representatives of the warring parties known as the Second Russo-Turkish War signed a ceasefire agreement in Istanbul.

According to the agreement, the countries were to withdraw the vast majority of their troops from Turkey, maintaining troops in only a few strongholds in order to "avoid a recurrence of the humanitarian catastrophe", in effect, drawing spheres of influence on the territory of the old Ottoman Empire.

The French took the opportunity to completely annex Algeria and Libya, and also landed troops on the Syrian coast with the intention of occupying Damascus, but the British troops who arrived outside Damascus ahead of time stopped the French, and the two sides faced off outside Damascus for several days, and finally the French gave in, occupying only cities including Beirut and Tripoli in order to ensure their survival in this area.

The British, on the other hand, took the opportunity to consolidate their control over the area around the Persian Gulf and safely control the Dardanelles. At the same time, Britain was granted the right to garrison troops in Istanbul, as was Germany.

Russia seized a large amount of land west of Istanbul, while Russian forces that crossed Georgia into eastern Turkey also occupied large areas.

As for the Germans, they, like the British, gained the right to garrison troops in Istanbul and at the same time had two strongholds on the coastline of the Sea of Marmara. Of course, Lin Youde's most important harvest is Basra on the coast of the Persian Gulf, and Baghdad, the ancient capital of the two river basins.

Except for the United States, which concentrated on industrial development, drilled many oil wells in its own country and later occupied Borneo, only Mexico, which was close to the United States and was heavily infiltrated by American capital, could compare with the United States in terms of oil exploitation. At this time, the United States was the world's largest oil exporter, and although European countries dug up all the oil that could be dug in Europe, there was not particularly much interest in exploring oil wells outside of Europe - a situation that lasted until the 1900s, when the spread of automobiles and other devices changed dramatically.

However, the Ottomans in this time and space are harder than in the previous time and space, and their control over the Persian Gulf is stronger than in the previous time and space, and the Europeans have little chance to come to the Persian Gulf to find oil.

In the 1920s, oil became more and more important with the widespread replacement of heavy oil boilers on steamships and the skyrocketing number of automobiles. The British have begun to probe their brains near the Persian Gulf, but the Arab independence movements in this area have been rising one after another, and the Ottoman Empire has been trying to suppress the Arabs to rebuild their control of the region, so the whole region is in turmoil, and the British exploration has been greatly disturbed, and it has not achieved much success until now.

Now only Iran, which is relatively stable around the Persian Gulf, has discovered a large number of oil fields, so the British focused on Iran in the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, and they armed the army of the Persian Kingdom, completely expelled the forces of the old Ottoman Empire from the Iranian plateau, and firmly grasped the Iranian oil in their own hands.

However, at this time, Iran's crude oil extraction has only just begun, and 75 percent of the world's crude oil supply comes from the United States and Mexico, and only 2 percent comes from Iran, which does not produce as much crude oil as North Africa.

Now that Lin Youde has obtained Basra and Baghdad, it basically means that one of his hands has touched the door of the world's treasury.

After the armistice agreement was signed, Lin Youde immediately flew back to Potsdam, preparing to personally deploy the plan to encroach on the Arab region and strengthen his control over this region.

But no sooner had he returned to Potsdam than he was dragged to Berlin by Viola.

**

The streets of Berlin in front of Lin Youde were completely covered in red, with flags hanging in front of every shop on the street, and the number of fig leaf flags in NERV far exceeded the flags of the German Republic.

In addition to the ubiquitous fig leaf flags, banners were hung on every building over three floors along the street with various typical NERV-style slogans.

In addition to these, the red armbands wrapped around the arms of the crowd, the red scarves worn around the necks, and the small red flags waving in their hands all made the scene in front of Lin Youde's eyes a little more enthusiastic.

The crowd shouted Lin Youde's name, and the frenzy filled every corner of the street.

Lin Youde was a little surprised, it was not the first time he had felt the admiration of the Germans, but this time this worship seemed to be stronger than ever.

He could only wave to the crowd in the back seat of the car, and the smile on his face almost froze.

Viola explained: "Because you first fell asleep and then ran away to Turkey, I had to put Gobel in charge of the propaganda work that you were directly responsible for in the past, and it turned out to be the situation you see now. ”

Lin Youde couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"I'd love to know how he shaped my ......"

"Well, now you are a great military strategist who went to the front line and stopped the Russians' crazy counterattack with your genius command ability, and you are also the best Bole ever, who discovered the military talent of the instructor of the infantry school, and gave him the opportunity to show this military talent; In addition, when the Russian gods attacked, you personally flew into the airspace where the two gods were fighting, risked your life to command your beloved wife to win the battle, and defeated the invincible and powerful enemy, the Russian Prime Minister Iron Queen, in a one-on-two disadvantageous situation. ”

Lin Youde smacked his lips, and Viola continued: "Moreover, because you cherish the lives of German soldiers, you decisively accepted Russia's peace initiative under the favorable situation, so that the children of the German people can return safely. Anyway, when I look at their propaganda, I feel that they are not promoting a person, but a god. ”

Viola shrugged.

"But I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't expect that there would be any harm in this, after all, you are my husband, and I will follow you if you are so good, so I didn't stop him."

Lin Youde smiled, he was just about to speak, when a blonde girl suddenly rushed through the cordon and rushed towards the car that Lin Youde was riding.

Viola reacted quickly and had already opened her defense against the shockwave, and the girl just grabbed Lin Youde's neck and kissed him on the lips.

Lin Youde waved his hand to the sentinel who had opened the insurance, and enjoyed the kiss from an ordinary girl.

After the long kiss, the girl jumped out of the car with a red face and ran back to her companion in the crowd, triggering a massive scream from her companions.

Lin Youde looked back at Viola, scratched the back of her head and said, "Well, this girl looks okay, but she has freckles on her face, so I don't like ......."

Viola interrupted Lin Youde's words: "It seems that there are still loopholes in our security defense, that girl crossed the cordon so easily, and in the future, there must be fewer parades like this." ”

"I don't think there's any need to worry about it, just make sure that the route of the parade is a wide street with enough space between the people on the side of the road and my car."

Viola glanced at Lin Youde and didn't answer.

In the course of the procession that followed, more girls tried to rush over the cordon to kiss Lin Youde, but as long as the prettiest ones succeeded, the guards probably couldn't bear to stop the girls in a rough way.

In this way, Lin Youde enjoyed a lot of passionate kisses from Yanmar in one morning, and several of the girls were clever enough to stuff pieces of paper with their messages written on them into Lin Youde's clothes - and then these pieces of paper were all confiscated by Viola.

Back at the presidential palace, Viola's face had already turned into an eggplant, and when she saw Lin Youde, she raised the corners of her eyes to show a look of no anger.

This made Lin Youde amuse her interest.

"It seems," he said, "that I may not be a god stallion, but I can be an ordinary stallion." ”

Viola flew up and kicked Lin Youde - of course, Lin Youde didn't hurt at all.

Green and Gobel, who greeted him in front of the presidential palace, took this qiΔ“ in their eyes, and the two exchanged glances with each other. Immediately after the two stepped forward, Gobel bowed respectfully to Lin Youde, and Green stood up and saluted.

"General Green, you seem to have gained weight lately?" Lin Youde hasn't seen Green for a long time, and the impression is still in his state of not getting fat, and now he is already a standard fat man, not Cheng DΓΉ who "seems to be fat" at all.

Green smiled and replied, "Mr. Lin, you are getting more and more healthy. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Lin Youde waved his hand, and then went straight to the point, "Do you two have anything to do with me?" If not, I would like to return to Potsdam now, after all, I am still injured, and there is a girl in Potsdam waiting for me to take care of. ”

It's been two months since the battle with Iron Hime, but Sissi hasn't recovered from her extreme mental exhaustion. She seemed to be in a hurry to resume her daily office, but was stopped by Lin Youde.

This is also one of the reasons why there are so many security vulnerabilities in today's parade, if Sissi is in charge, Lin Youde probably won't be able to enjoy so many beautiful girls' kisses.

After Lin Youde's words fell, Green and Gobel glanced at each other, but before the two of them could speak, Viola said: "Actually, the Army General Staff of the Wehrmacht insists that the NERV Industrial Complex provide the Wehrmacht with the same weapons and equipment as the National Volunteers, including light weapons, combat vehicles, etc., and the Luftwaffe also requires new fighters and dive bombers. ”

"Isn't that good," Lin Youde shrugged, "It's all an order, just let Congress allocate funds and then order from us, we will give priority to the order from the Wehrmacht, and we will also provide discounts." However, we do not accept paper marks for such bulk orders, I want gold. ”

Of course, Lin Youde's factory can accept orders for paper marks, but that is far from being as cool as taking gold directly from the German government, and Lin Youde does not intend to let go of this opportunity.

After he finished speaking, both Grimm and Gobel looked a little embarrassed.

"The Wehrmacht believes that the speed of refitting may not be ideal if the equipment is supplied only to the NERV factory in guΓ², so we hope that NERV will authorize the production of equipment at some other factories in the country," Viola said. ”

Lin Youde pursed his lips.

"I see, the so-called other factories should be those in the hands of the opposition, right?"
