Chapter 233: Isn’t billion barrels of oil attractive? (The third update!)
"Commander, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger that may cause trouble?" Meng Fanle asked worriedly.
Who would have thought that Cun Yunsheng was not worried at all, but instead said with a smile.
"Persia is so far away from us, and we have no conflict of interest. On the contrary, we can seek common ground while reserving differences."
"More importantly, Persia has become stronger, and the first to panic will not be us, but the Soviet army."
After all, compared to them, the Soviet territory is very close.
If the German army had been smarter, they would have joined forces with Persia.
This is definitely enough to give the Soviet army a hard time.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng's smile widened.
It’s better to be chaotic!
How can you get something out of the fire without causing trouble?
If you want to be a chess player this season, you have to be chaotic.
The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities there are.
Otherwise, I will have to work hard for decades.
"Ah? You even took the Soviet army into account? But do they have the courage to do so?" Meng Fanle asked in disbelief.
After all, the Soviet army is a behemoth, and it is said that it can now suppress the German army.
Now even the Soviet army is included in our own leader’s plan. This is really unimaginable.
"Courage also expands as strength increases. Now they have no strength, so they appear to be very obedient, but once they become stronger, they will naturally not be satisfied with their current status." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.
"What's more, the Soviet army has occupied a lot of their territory. I don't believe they can still tolerate the equipment of 20 divisions going down."
"If you can endure this, then I don't believe you can endure it even if tanks and planes are deployed."
After hearing this, Meng Fan opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He didn't expect that his boss would become so crazy.
"Are you becoming arrogant because your strength has increased?" Meng Fanle said mercilessly.
"Of course, I was weak before, so I had to be a grandson. Now, even if I can't say I'm a master, at least I can make some trouble."
"Don't you want to see us become stronger? Take back everything that belongs to us?" Cun Yunsheng didn't care about Meng Fanle's attitude at all. Now that he is stronger, what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Is it too much?
Do not!
Not too much at all.
Showing off your muscles occasionally can help to shock others better.
"So, you were pretending to be a grandson before? And now you start making trouble?" Meng Fanle also laughed.
"Of course, without Stilwell, we wouldn't be where we are today. Unfortunately, it's time to replace this big tree. We will have to rely on ourselves from now on." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
He still agreed very much with what Fatty Qiu said.
That is, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
A friend today may be an enemy tomorrow.
Now he and Stilwell are having a very pleasant conversation, but perhaps in the near future, the two sides will become enemies.
"You think too far ahead." Meng curled his lips in frustration. He always felt that Cun Yunsheng was becoming more and more compassionate and thinking too much.
Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up.
"Are you trying to say that if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up? For the Sichuan Army, I am this tall person." Cun Yunsheng saw through Meng Fanle's inner thoughts at a glance.
After all, they have been together for so long, and he already knows very well what kind of person Meng Fanle is.
Hearing this, Meng Fan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Okay, you will know what I did in the future." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
At this time, a staff officer walked in from outside, looked at Cun Yunsheng and spoke.
"Sir, William is here again."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was a little surprised.
One after the other?
It looks like there is something.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng thought for a moment and asked someone to bring William in.
Looking at William in front of me, I found that he was thinner than before.
It was obvious that the other party hadn't slept well in the past two days.
As for the reason, it was naturally the list provided by Cun Yunsheng.
After all, the implications are too extensive.
It can be said that more than half of the Prussian officer corps was involved.
This was tantamount to shaking the very foundations of the Wehrmacht.
This was also a fatal blow to the German army.
The base camp did not send any intelligence in the past two days, but William, who was familiar with the base camp's working style, naturally knew that the intelligence should be true.
So without waiting for instructions from the base camp, he went straight to find Cun Yunsheng.
As a result, as soon as I arrived at the Sichuan Army Corps’ headquarters, I saw Alberts walking out of the headquarters.
The other party greeted him politely.
It made his heart skip a beat.
Why are there Persians here?
The reason why he recognized Alberts was that they had dealt with each other before.
"Sir William, I didn't expect that we meet again. Time flies." Cun Yunsheng said kindly as soon as they met.
William looked at Cun Yunsheng with a worried look on his face, and was about to speak, but was interrupted again.
"Tell me, what kind of intelligence do you want this time? Or a list of names? I'm afraid you don't need it, but I can give you some information about the Soviet army's movements."
After hearing this, William, who originally wanted to ask Cun Yunsheng why the Persians were here, no longer cared about so much.
"Soviet intelligence?"
"Yes, it's already July and winter is coming. The heavy snow seems to be coming especially early this year." Cun Yunsheng's words made William change color again.
You know, in order to prevent the German army from falling into a situation of total collapse, the German high-ranking officials issued an order to resolutely defend every stronghold.
The German Air Force paid a huge price to airlift supplies to the German troops in these isolated strongholds.
The winter weather conditions are extremely harsh, and a large number of fighter jets have to be deployed to meet the army's logistical supplies.
In particular, a large number of German troops were scattered in various strongholds. What was the result?
In order to replenish supplies for these strongholds, they would dispatch more than 300 fighter planes a day to airdrop supplies for an army.
Do you know how many armies there are on the entire Eastern Front?
Millions of troops!
Every day, the Air Force frequently dispatches fighter jets to replenish their supplies.
The combat efficiency of the Air Force was seriously weakened.
"Colonel, what else do you know?" William's tone became very respectful.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party and sighed lightly.
"You have no experience fighting in the ice and snow. You will not be able to stop the Soviet counterattack."
"And do you really still have millions of troops on the front lines?"
"If I'm not mistaken, many of your divisions on the front line should only have one-third of their strength left. In fact, for many divisions, the actual combat strength is probably only two or three battalions."
"Is the reason why the numbers are still retained for bluffing or to deceive the superiors and subordinates?" "There are quite a lot of new troops. If I remember correctly, you also added two armored divisions last winter. One was reorganized from a cavalry division, and the other was reorganized from a motorized infantry division."
"You are probably the only ones who know your true combat power."
"As for the original 20 armored divisions, I'm afraid only half of them have received tanks. The size has not increased at all compared to last year."
"What about the Soviet army?"
"Not only did they increase the number of tanks, but they also greatly increased the number of soldiers."
"With one side gaining and the other losing, can you still hold on?"
It has to be said that Cun Yunsheng's words made William break out in a cold sweat and he didn't know what to say.
"Wipe the sweat off your forehead. I don't know what you can be proud of. If you can't replenish the missing personnel and equipment before winter comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the Soviet counterattack this winter."
"Your superiority in air and armored forces has been gradually worn down by the Soviet army."
"Next, the strength of your air and armored forces will not be able to play a decisive role in the outcome of the battle."
"That is to say, this winter is the crucial moment to decide the outcome. Unfortunately, you have not yet switched to a wartime system."
It will not be until next year, after the German army suffers a disastrous winter defeat, that it will switch to a wartime system.
But it was too late by then, the German elite had been exhausted.
It's too difficult to reverse.
William looked at Cun Yunsheng as if he saw a devil.
He didn't know why the other party knew so many secrets.
"To be honest, I personally agree with Marshal Rundstedt's plan to abandon all occupied territories and withdraw to the original border."
"If we rely on our existing advantages, block the Soviet offensive, and switch to a wartime system, there is still hope." Cun Yunsheng sighed.
such a pity!
It is really hard to give up so much territory at once.
"Colonel, why do you know so much?" You know, these are all confidential, but the other party knows everything.
Who knew Cun Yunsheng would say with a sneer.
"Your so-called secrets are a joke to the Allies. Even the Allies know this information, so why don't I know it?"
William was instantly speechless.
"What about the intelligence about the Soviet army that you mentioned before?" William did not dare to show any dissatisfaction and still asked cautiously.
"The Soviet offensive posture is nothing more than destroying your manpower. Anyone in your staff who is not a fool can analyze this." What is there to analyze in a decisive battle involving millions of people?
The staff officers on both sides are not fools and can naturally see that the goal of both sides is to consume the main force of the other side.
So there's nothing much to say.
What he wants to say is the key to breaking the deadlock.
"What about the intelligence you told me before about the Soviet army?" William was even more confused.
"Let's take a look at this first." Cun Yunsheng did not answer immediately, but handed over a previously signed agreement.
William took the document with some surprise, but after reading it, he didn't have much reaction.
After all, it was just an oil purchase agreement. The only thing that surprised him was that it took a long time, a hundred years.
But what does this have to do with the Soviet army?
"This place is called Azadegan. There is a huge oil field buried underground. Preliminary estimates show that there are about 60 billion barrels of oil. The estimated reserves of the entire oil field are about 420 billion barrels." Before Cun Yunsheng finished his words, William's breathing quickened a lot, and his eyes were red.
"Really?" William took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and looked at the place where Cun Yunsheng pointed, which was the southwest of Persia.
He didn't expect that there would be rich oil fields here.
It was indeed beyond his expectations.
What’s more important is the 420 billion barrels of oil, which is simply the largest oil field discovered so far.
With this oil, the German army will have several times more tanks, planes, and warships.
Isn't it oil that is restricting the German armored forces now?
Why did the German army attack the Caucasus at all costs?
Isn't it just to seize the oil fields there?
As a result, Cun Yunsheng now threw out a huge oil field, which made William instantly overjoyed.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I sign this agreement with Persia? Am I having a brain seizure?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
"So you want to transfer this agreement? We can agree to any conditions you propose, including some high-precision equipment." William thought the other party wanted to sell the contract, so he said quickly.
Who knew that Cun Yunsheng gently pulled back the contract agreement, smiled and shook his head.
"This agreement cannot be transferred. What I want to say is that you can completely withdraw your main forces and increase the intensity of the attack in the Caucasus. At the same time, you can persuade Persia to attack the Caucasus region and attack the Soviet army's Caucasus region from the north and south together with you."
"Of course, if you can pay a certain price, Turkey next door can also choose to join you."
"It depends on whether you are willing to pay the price."
"After all, as long as the price is high, anything can be negotiated."
It has to be said that Cun Yunsheng's words really made William silent.
"These are not things I can consider, but I will pass them on to my superiors."
"As for having Persia attack the Caucasus."
At this point, William hesitated, not knowing what to say.
With Persia's limited strength, can it defeat the German army?
"Does he doubt Persia's combat effectiveness? He just ordered weapons and equipment for twenty divisions from me." As soon as Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, William was shocked again.
Twenty divisions?
Where did he get so many weapons?
As if seeing through William's thoughts, Cun Yunsheng continued.
"I don't have any, but the Zheng Dynasty in Bangkok has now joined the Allied Forces. They can definitely purchase weapons and equipment from the Allied Forces. Twenty divisions won't have too much equipment, right?"
And then sell it to Persia?
Are you really not afraid that the Allies will find out about you?
William complained secretly.
If Cun Yunsheng knew what he was thinking, he would just chuckle.
The guy is still too young.
Wouldn't it be enough to just let Siam send out a few trainee staff officers or trainee officers to take the blame?
Anyway, they are the ones who buy and sell the weapons.
What does it have to do with him?
"With twenty American-equipped divisions, I think Persia should have the idea of taking back the territory occupied by the Soviet army? As for the rest, as long as you are willing to pay a certain price, everything will not be a problem." Cun Yunsheng's words completely made William autistic.
Because he found that the dilemma facing the German army was resolved so easily.
"Don't hesitate. That's more than 40 billion barrels of oil. That's several times more than the oil in the Caucasus."
"With all this oil, will your problems still be problems?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled. He didn't believe that the other party would not be fooled by such a huge temptation.
The third update is over, and the Dragon Boat Festival is over. I ate a lot of melons and I am looking forward to seeing them swim back! Finally, thank you all for voting and rewarding! Thank you!
