"China seems to have forgotten that the British Empire paid a heavy price in the Iran War, and now they have brazenly contacted the Germans without informing our country and without consulting us, which is a betrayal! This is a provocation against the Entente bloc! We must reach out to the United States and France, redefine our direct relationship with China, and reassess the cooperation that has already begun! When Chamberlain was convinced that China had made contact with the Allies, his angry roar resounded through the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. Although it seems from the intelligence that the "Iranian government" is negotiating with the Germans, everyone knows that this is just a cover-up!

Of course, the British seem to have forgotten that helping Iran actually ensured the security of British India, and they forgot that in the second half of this war, especially in the large-scale army decisive battle, it was China that played the main role! In terms of the loss of personnel and equipment and the amount of money lost, Britain and the United States together are not as good as China! And they forgot that long before the Germans launched Operation Monsoon, the British were ready to withdraw their troops and rejected the plan proposed by Huaxia as an ally. Since you have done the first year of junior high school, it is understandable that Huaxia has done fifteen. Xu Jie hated the extreme egoism of the British government!

However, the subsequent actions of the British still surprised the Chinese and even the Germans! If the United Kingdom after World War II is a country that can only move its lips on most occasions and occasionally find two fish belly to move. (For example, Britain and France went to war with Egypt over the Suez Canal, and then the Battle of the Falklands, which is known as the last afterglow of the British Empire's task force.) Then Britain before World War 2 was still an aggressive Walker fighting dog! And the audacity of the action is also admirable, both against the enemy and against the allies! In this way the British believed that Germany had been softened by the Chinese. How could the British government, bent on creating a security zone in southeastern Iran, not act at a time when the cost of power was enormous?

Huaxia did not inform Britain at the time of the peace talks. Naturally, the British would not have informed China when they took action. As Chamberlain said, the interests of the British can only be defended with the swords of the British! As a result, a group of British and Indian troops slowly opened the border between the two countries under the guise of guò guò in the name of guerrillas in southeastern Iran, and began to infiltrate into Iran. The British decided to use force to create a neutral zone in southern Iran, or at least turn it into a guerrilla zone!

Don't you say, at the beginning, the hastily concentrated forces of the British really had a certain impact on the ground forces of the Luftwaffe and the Navy, which were "on vacation". To say that the special operations British in the 2 World War can be described as eye-catching. Whether it's the devil's troops roaming the deserts of North Africa or just a dozen men blowing up a Nazi heavy water factory in Norway, these tables can be described as wonderful. The British took this dimension even further, with British rangers and their Indian servants in off-road vehicles and even camels attacking German posts, attacking convoys, assassinating German officers and puppet leaders, and even planning to follow the example of the Italians using miniature submarines to attack German naval warships anchored in southern Iran.

On a moonlit starry night. A British miniature submarine passed through the strait of the Strait of Hormuz, entered the waters around Bandar Abbas, and then found a passage on the seabed covered with sunken ships and lightning nets, and the leading second lieutenant Jess locked the cross ring of the periscope on one of the huge figures, and after carefully comparing the battleship atlas in his hand, he estimated that the large ship hidden in the deep-water berth should be the Austro-Hungarian Aegean air cruiser, and the overjoyed second lieutenant Jess decisively aimed the three torpedo tubes in the bow at this target, and then three 1200MM torpedoes were fired at a distance of 533 meters!

Jace nervously looked at the stopwatch in his hand, and from the moment the torpedo entered the water, he began to calculate the time it would take for the torpedo to hit the target! After about 1 minute. With a series of loud noises, the battleship in the distance was instantly blown into three sections! The jackstone saw its raised bow and stern through the telescope, and Jace knew very well that this guy was dead! So he didn't care to appreciate his own results. Jace immediately decided to leave the battlefield, he thought he knew how big a thing he had done, and if he didn't run, it would really be over!

As a result, who knew that something went wrong in the busy. As he was about to leave Bandar Abbas, the propeller suddenly became entangled in a fishing net. As a result, this small submarine with a displacement of several tens of tons immediately became a dead fish, and then was caught by the German naval officers and sailors who heard the news! "Damn the British! You ruined our ration for two months! "When Jace just got out of the submarine. A German naval soldier didn't say a word, and the butt of this gun hit Jace a little inexplicably, didn't he sink a battleship? What does it have to do with rationing?

Then Second Lieutenant Jess finally knew what he was targeting, it was not an Austro-Hungarian Navy warship at all, but a transport ship that had just sailed from mainland China to bring supplies to the Germans, and this 10,000-ton transport ship was loaded with biscuits, sausages, cigarettes, all kinds of sweets and medicines sent from the German mainland. If it is said that it is an Austro-Hungarian battleship that sank, it really has nothing to do with ordinary German sailors, but with the sinking of this transport ship, the ration standard of the German Navy wishing Iranian troops in the next two months has dropped by several notches, and the ship sank so fast that it could not even be forcibly grounded, and all the delicious food and medicine were fed to the fish! This situation was difficult for both the British and the Germans to accept! (The British remorseled for missing their goal, while the Germans wailed over their stomachs.) ）

However, this incident finally touched the sensitive nerves of the German Navy, because he had annihilated the Iranian fleet and became the commander of the Indian Ocean Detachment of the German High Seas Fleet, Count Luknall had just arrived in the Middle East, and before the new officer could take up three fires, the British burned his logistics! Isn't this NM just a slap in the face? When the logistics officer reported to the Count of Luckner with a gloomy face that in the coming period, the ration standard of the German Navy would be halved, and even that it would have to be raised locally in order to ensure basic consumption, Monsieur Count swore to give the British some color and see! So after transferring a large number of marines from Basra and Fao, the German navy was the main force. Supplemented by the army, the puppet army began to carry out a sweep in the southeastern part of Iran.

The German Navy said that although land warfare was not its own essential job. But relying on the numerical superiority of equipment and troops to crush the British, who were also fighting away, there was no problem. The battle, nicknamed "Fight for the Belly" within the German army, lasted exactly 3 weeks, with BF109 and JU90 in the air. Under the blows of various armored vehicles and mortars on the ground, the guerrillas hastily organized by the British were shattered by the German troops who were marching step by step, and Chamberlain's plan ended with a military fiasco!

"No matter how bad it is, our actions in southeastern Iran will also add to the obstacles to the negotiations between China and the Germans, right?" After receiving information about the rout at the front, Chamberlain once consoled himself in this way. In fact, neither Germany nor China paid much attention to the actions of the British, and everyone was busy bargaining at the negotiating table. The British came to find trouble, just call back. What should you do, what should you do? The Germans did not even talk about the British attack at the negotiating table, and Huaxia instead said that it was a personal act of the British and had absolutely nothing to do with Huaxia.

In contrast to the jumping up and down and irrational actions of the British. The U.S. government has not said much about the situation in Iran. They were very quiet, just as the Iranian events had nothing to do with them, and as agreed between the United States and China, the American troops in Iran began to withdraw in large numbers through the Middle East and China. The equipment was converted into dollars and then received by Huaxia, while the personnel were returned to the United States by guò transport planes, railroads, and ships. Because until the armistice, the U.S. government still provided China with help within its capacity, such as logistics transportation and equipment repair. Huaxia was polite to the United States, at least diplomatically informing the Americans that Huaxia was prepared to choose an appropriate time to end the Iran war, and politely asked the Americans for their opinions. Although the symbolism is greater than the actual meaning. But after all, it makes the Americans have a lot of face, doesn't it?

Of course, silence does not mean inaction, on the contrary, the United States, under the leadership of Roosevelt, who is known as a great strategy, is reassessing the international situation and the military situation facing the United States in the light of the gains and losses of the war in Iran. The Iranian war encompassed a full range of confrontations, including the navy, air force, and army. This is of great reference value to the Americans, Roosevelt was a politician, and military affairs were left to the generals. It now needs to reorient the value of the major powers within the Entente system.

"The Chinese were indeed very strong, and they had the ability to hold back the westward advance of the German army in the Middle East and South Asia. And their appetite is huge, and Huaxia began to lay out very early. They tried to create a small group within the Entente, a group with China as the core, and this can be seen in their actions in the past few years. First of all, they showed full goodwill to the Italian naval government during the Italian war, and the top echelons of the Italian government-in-exile headed by Tycho responded positively to the goodwill of China. They gained the favor of the Italians. ”

The bloodshed and sacrifice of the Chinese in the Iranian war made the Iranians grateful to Dade, and although the loss of the southern region of Iran was inevitable, the Iranian royal family was still grateful that the Chinese were able to keep their rule in northern Iran. The plan we had with the British was meaningless, the current Iranian government could not be overthrown, our plan to create a new regime that would bring Iran into our sphere of power had failed, and more importantly, the civil power in Iran was more inclined to China, which made it difficult for us to prepare the planned subversive action. "Yes, the Americans also have their own little calculations, and even more than the British ask for! It's just that Roosevelt was smarter than Chamberlain, he never put these ideas on the table, and he would take the initiative to retreat when he knew it was impossible to do, and this flexible strategy made the Americans more proactive diplomatically! But fortunately, Xu Jie is also very wary of Americans. This time, the Americans did not succeed!

"These are not the point, compared to Iran and Italy, the pro-Chinese attitude of the Russian government across the Eurasian continent makes us more worried, although the European steamroller has completely disappeared from history with the end of World War I, under the saber of China and the Allies, Russia has been completely reduced to a second-rate country, but as long as conditions permit, the current Russia will still become a power beyond Austria-Hungary and Italy, and even France, Russia is very important for the future situation in Europe and even the whole world, And this important country at this time wants to be closer to China, and the Russians have sided with China in this war, and they have sent a large number of troops and played a relatively important role, which is the most disturbing thing for me. When Roosevelt said this, the recorder next to him tried to write it down, but was then stopped by Roosevelt. This kind of discourse that may lead to unpleasant consequences in Huaxia is still stuck in the Oval Office, and I don't want all of you here today to say such things outside. ”

Roosevelt was very contradictory, on the one hand, he knew very well that the Allies must rely on the strength of China to win in the future decisive battle, and on the other hand, in order for the United States to obtain the maximum war dividends and let the Western world dominated by the United States occupy an advantageous position in the future competition, they must suppress China. Even at another meeting, Roosevelt asked the bigwigs in military circles: "If there is no China, can we defeat Germany?" He also once asked his aides: "If there is no China, what price will the United States have to pay to defeat Germany." These words expressed Roosevelt's attitude towards China.

However, what happened next surprised Roosevelt was that after some discussion and study in the US military circles and the British military circles, the military leaders of the two countries believed that the future confrontation between China, the United States, Britain, and France would be enough to contain the opponent's ground offensive in Europe, and the air force and navy would have a certain advantage. Roosevelt was both shocked and pleased by this conclusion, and if this was the case, did it not mean that from now on, China's position within the Entente would be somewhat reduced? Although Roosevelt was a little skeptical of this assertion, he still signaled that the military could formulate a plan according to this assertion, but what he did not expect was that under the impetus of the British, this plan actually became the military strategy of the United States, Britain and France at the beginning of World War II!
