It was not only the two empires that were in agitation, but also the Red Tsar far away in Moscow.

There have been frequent exchanges in the Kremlin recently, especially after the Japanese army headed south, the Soviet Union was paying great attention. First, it was excited that the Japanese army surrounded Singapore and captured Malaya in just over a month, and also controlled the Dutch East India and Malaya, defeating more than 100,000 British troops. Then it was anxious and angry, because Japan actually allowed China to use the Sunda Strait. What was even more uneasy is that China actually sent a fleet of nearly 90 large cargo ships to Saudi Arabia the moment before the Japanese army headed south, and there was a fleet of two aircraft carriers that arrived with it.

"General Secretary, this is a secret photo taken by Saudi comrades." Beria carefully pulled out a stack of photos from the file bag. Recently, Stalin's temper was very bad, and problems such as Finland and the Baltic have been plaguing the red dictator. Zhukov lost two provinces in Afghanistan, resulting in more than 100,000 Soviet troops retreating to Herat, making China one step closer to Iran. The signing of the China-Iran oil agreement and the Japanese army's southward movement can be seen as the prelude to the world war. At this critical juncture, a fleet that broke into the Persian Gulf became the ulcer of the Soviet Union. Faced with the aggressive Yang Qiu, it would be strange if he had a good temper."

The secretary has made preliminary investigations and found that there are 2 Sichuan-class aircraft carriers entering the Persian Gulf, with 206 aircraft, 3 cruisers and 4 destroyers. There is also 1 heavy cruiser, 2 light cruiser, 2 supply ships and 6 destroyers heading to Djibouti, France. This is a fleet that arrived at the same time, with a total of 84 10,000 tons of ships. This is a new type of ship with a large cabin door on the side that allows vehicles to enter and exit directly. Look, the five cars coming out in the front are all Type 31 tanks, and the one behind should be a new model. From the thickness of the canvas sleeve, the caliber of the tank gun is between 80 and 90 mm.

This picture is very important!

This person is Jiang Fangzhen, a second-level general. He is the former president of the National Defense University of China. He served for fifteen years and wrote many military books. The theory of integrated air-ground warfare that appeared last year was that he first proposed six years ago. Currently, half of the senior generals in the Chinese army are his students. Now his job is the president's military adviser. He is very active after arriving in Saudi Arabia and has met with the Saudi royal family for more than a dozen times. After Japan heads south, he also stays in Tehran and Istanbul for four days respectively, and also signed ore procurement agreements with the two countries.

In addition, Japan's telegram to us said that the second batch of 51 transport ships had passed through the Sunda Strait ten days ago, and the destination was also the Persian Gulf. In addition, comrades in Paris have confirmed that China began to organize expatriates and international students to evacuate Europe, with destinations being the United States and Saudi Arabia respectively. American comrades also sent telegrams saying that they had received news that the Chinese ambassador to the United States purchased more than 20 large gas refrigerators, 650,000 tons of grain, and a large amount of beef, mutton and gauze medicine. Two sets of ammunition production lines and manufacturing purchased from France

Ship equipment is also being transported to the shipyards invested in the port of Jeddah, the Red Sea. Two thousand Chinese workers and 4,000 Saudis are stepping up construction, expanding the number of docks and docks, and building oil storage tanks. In the past week, the number of transport aircraft between Hu Fufu and Kashgar has increased to 400 times. Saudi Arabia said it is just a normal rotation of oil workers. Judging from these signs, China is strengthening its reserves in Saudi Arabia by purchasing and air transportation from countries around the world. It is probably ready to stay in the Persian Gulf for a long time after losing Malacca."

Beria's explanation was very careful, and the meaning behind each photo was expressed. In the photo, either the majestic battleships, the dense group of trucks and tanks, or the expanding port of Jeddah, all made Stalin feel uncomfortable. The more he heard, his face became darker, and he became more angry. Japan did not block the strait according to the agreement. At the end, he even stood up angrily: "Why didn't Japan block the strait? Didn't they defeat the British Far East Fleet and sank two battleships?"

Belia was about to speak, but Voroshilov next to her stepped forward: "Japan replied. They have not taken Singapore yet, and their supply line is too long, so they need to wait for a few more months."

"Nonsense, this is a serious breach of contract and irresponsible act!" Stalin slapped the table in anger. You should know that Iran is opposite Saudi Arabia. China-Iran oil cooperation has already made him very worried. Now China has suddenly hoarded weapons, equipment and supplies in Saudi Arabia, and the number of aircraft carriers exceeds 500. In his opinion, this is the preparation for interfering in Iran and even attacking the Caucasus. Iran is a barrier to Central Asia that the Soviet Union must protect, otherwise he would not have signed an agreement with Iran to ensure that it did not fall to Britain and France when the Soviets were just established. Iran has indeed not fallen to Britain and France now, but the idiot Reza Khan was conquered by the oil dollar bit by bit, which made him very angry.

Stalin was a little out of control. He picked up his pipe and just as he was about to lit it, an officer opened the door to send a document to sign. Because he heard the scolding inside just now, the officer was a little nervous. When submitting the document, he accidentally knocked over the ink bottle. Seeing the thick black ink dripping on Stalin's pants, the officer was frightened and looked deserted, trembling all over, and couldn't even say anything. Stalin was frightened to this point and was very dissatisfied: "Do you think Comrade Stalin only has a pair of pants?"

The officer's face turned pale, and Stalin was too lazy to look at him, so he signed the unimportant document and drove him out. However, after this little episode, Stalin gradually calmed down, smoked cigarettes, and his eyes kept wandering back and forth between Tehran and the Caucasus. Belia and Voroshilov looked at each other, guessing that he was worried that China would threaten the security of the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus and Baku after gaining a foothold in Saudi Arabia. Especially in Georgia, this is Comrade Stalin's hometown! Voroshilo, the chief of staff of the Soviet army, who has always been the highest order of Stalin's will.

Hu immediately said: "General Secretary, from Comrade Beria's photos and intelligence analysis just now, Chinese army soldiers have not yet entered a large scale, so I think Iran should be fought over immediately. The northern railway in Iran can reach the Hormuz Strait. The BF109 fighter we purchased from Germany has been trained for half a year. The pilots are very enthusiastic about fighting. If they deploy them here, they can use this advanced aircraft to cut off the air contact between China and Saudi Arabia. In this way, no matter how much supplies they have in Saudi Arabia are, it is useless if they have no soldiers to use them."

These words talk about Stalin's heart. After all, no one wants his hometown to be threatened. At this time, he suddenly remembered the plan of going south that Tukhachevsky had proposed. The plan said that he would take the lead in controlling the Hormuz Strait and Karachi, India. This would not only bring the Soviet Union's dream of warm water ports, but also curb China's entry into the Persian Gulf and prevent Britain from encircling the Soviet Union all over the world. Unfortunately, no one knew whether Stalin regretted it. But Belia felt his concern for the Persian Gulf.

"General Secretary, it is only a matter of time before Japan completely defeats the British army in the Far East. China will definitely not let Japan control the strait for a long time. Because there is no strait, it will not be able to enter and exit the Indian Ocean freely. So, taking advantage of the opportunity that Japan could not come to the south and deploy an airborne division on Sumatra to fight for control of the strait in the future. So now is the best time to fight for Iran. If China attacks Malaya and Sumatra to seize the strait, it can transport more soldiers to the Persian Gulf, and if Herat is also lost, they can use the Iranian northern railway to detour to our Caspian Sea and the Caucasus."

"It's right." Stalin nodded, but hesitated in his heart.

Fighting for Iran is actually an attack on Iran and overthrow of Reza Khan's regime, which is equivalent to offending Britain, which has troops stationed in Iran and Iraq. He is not afraid of Britain, but Germany is always unreliable. After the signing of the Soviet-German secret contract, although he used increased exports of resources to Germany to win the trust of Hitler, the Soviet Union still maintained a 2 million army in the direction of Europe, just because it was afraid of turning against each other. Now sending troops to Iran, what if Britain encourages Germany to tear up the treaty, will the vast Ukraine and Belarus become the second Czech Republic?

When Stalin was in a dilemma, the phone on the table suddenly rang. After picking up the phone expressionlessly, Motolov's voice came from the other end. A moment later, Belia and Voroshilov discovered that the General Secretary, who had just expressed his serious expression, actually smiled.

What happened?

Stalin put down the phone, knocked his pipe hard, and said happily: "Very good, the Japanese have begun to attack Singapore." "That's great." Voroshilov applauded. Although his military literacy is really not good, he knows the importance of Singapore. As long as the Japanese army conquers Singapore, the probability of Beijing intervening in the war will be much higher.

On the contrary, Belia noticed the abnormality, because he believed that there must be something else. Otherwise Stalin would not be so happy. Sure enough, after pausing for a while, Stalin said again: "The phone call just now was called by Comrade Motolov. In addition to this news, he also told me another thing. German envoy Ribintrov is coming to Moscow soon. He hopes to talk to us about the Polish issue. Comrade Belia, you must take care of everyone and prepare for this matter, and let Comrade Zhidanov personally greet you."

Beria's eyebrows were pounding wildly, and Germany was about to take action against Poland!

You should know that according to the previous secret agreement, Germany was willing to give up half of the Poland and the Baltic countries to win the trust of the Soviet Union. Britain and France are Poland's allies. As long as Germany takes action, it is equivalent to completely offending Britain and France. So who can still control Iran's life or death?!

Voroshilov stood by and saw both of them becoming happy. At first, he didn't understand what was going on. It was not until he thought about what had happened before he understood and came forward excitedly and said, "General Secretary, do you have any instructions to the comrades of the Caucasus Front?"

"Well." Stalin was satisfied with Voroshilov's cleverness and his tone became decisive, and said, "To tell the comrades below that fighting for Iran is a very important thing, and you must arrange this matter in person. Let the comrades see clearly that this is an imperialist conspiracy, trying to attack us from Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. These conspiracies are crimes against the Soviets and are crimes that threaten the great Soviet territory. Twenty years ago, they used Soviets to use Soviets to use Soviets twenty years ago.

The chaos at the beginning of the establishment of Egypt, robbed our machinery and equipment, and unilaterally occupied our territory with the help of British and American imperialism! The massacre of soldiers of the workers and peasants' Red Army and loyal Soviet party members, illegally annexed the beautiful Vladivostok, the rich East Siberia, and the East Kazakhstan, Almaty, and Anjiyan. Now the Chinese black hands are trying to reach into our Caucasus and Caspian regions, which is unforgivable!

To mobilize the forces of the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea, we must clearly tell each officer and fighter that they are an evil, cunning, and unscrupulous enemy. All GC party members must act immediately, mobilize the masses, and fight a war to defend the security of the country's hinterland."
