Chapter 239: The Three Kingdoms Take Turns to Set Traps! (The Third Update!)

"I've been hunting geese all day, but I never thought that one day I would make a mistake." Cun Yunsheng sighed as he looked at the telegram William sent him.

"Commander, you are trying to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice. I didn't expect that the other party would directly overturn the game." Meng Fanle said with a smirk.

Cun Yunsheng looked speechless.

He also didn't expect that the German army would be so cruel and directly revealed all the information to the Soviet army.

This is trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

The negotiations between the German army and Persia must have broken down.

So the German army went all out and directly leaked the oil field information to the Soviet army.

Given the greed of the Soviet army, they definitely couldn't resist the temptation to just watch the fat meat in their mouths.

It has to be said that the German army had a very good grasp of the Soviet army's psychology.

However, Cun Yunsheng did not expect that the Soviet army still had the strength to extend its reach to Persia.

You must know that the situation on the Eastern Front is still in a stalemate, and the two sides have not yet completely determined the outcome.

At least before the arrival of winter, the German army was still strong enough to suppress the Soviet army.

result!

The Soviet army actually withdrew its troops to Persia at this time. It has to be said that the Soviet army's ambitions were indeed very big.

Or did the Soviet army think Persia was weak?
I'm afraid the Soviet army will be disappointed.

Judging from the map, Persia is the country closest to the Baku oil fields.

As for the Caucasus, to the south is Persia, and to the west is Husky.

"The German army does have a strategic master who can see through our plan at a glance. However, they may have underestimated one thing. That is, Persia's resistance will be very fierce, especially when the equipment of twenty divisions arrives in Persia. That will be the nightmare of the Soviet army." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

After calming down, Cun Yunsheng analyzed the situation.

It was believed that the Soviet army's strategy of quick victory would be impossible to achieve.

After all, Persia is not a waste.

Everyone is deceived by their appearance.

"More importantly, could the United States and Britain watch such a big piece of fat meat fall into the hands of the Soviet army?"

"Two peaches kill three warriors. It turns out that there is always someone stronger than the strong." Cun Yunsheng sighed.

Only Meng curled his lips in annoyance.

"What about Türkiye? Will they join?"

As Meng Fanle spent more time with Cun Yunsheng, his strategic vision improved a lot.

Looking at the map, I always feel that Türkiye next to it would not look like this.

"I don't know, but they will definitely not be able to resist such a big piece of fat meat. But their opponent is the Soviet army, I don't know if they have the courage to do so." Cun Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and could not give an accurate answer.

After all, there is too little information at hand and we can only rely on guesswork.

"I think they definitely can't help it. More than 40 billion barrels of oil. If this information is true." Having said that, Meng Fanle deliberately stopped and glanced at Cun Yunsheng.

It seems that, if this is true, would you really be willing to throw away this piece of fat meat?
"It's absolutely true." Cun Yunsheng said calmly.

"That means it's worth nearly 50 billion US dollars. It's a huge sum of money. I probably can't help it." Meng Fanle continued.

"If I were Britain, the United States and Germany, I would definitely support Turkey's military deployment, give them weapons and equipment, and let them challenge the Soviet army."

"Let the Soviet army know that there are some places they cannot touch."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Cun Yunsheng’s eyes widened instantly, and his pupils shrank sharply as he looked at Meng Fan.

"Yes, you are right. If I were Britain, America, or Germany, how could I watch this piece of fat meat fall into the hands of the Soviet army?"

"Not even if they are allies."

"Is this the real purpose of the German army?"

For a moment, Cun Yunsheng murmured.

Before this, Cun Yunsheng had indeed never thought about these things, but now Meng Fanlue said so.

It's indeed very possible.

Even though the two sides are fighting happily now, they will definitely get together to cause trouble again after the war is over.

Now the Soviet army's blatant expansion of power is absolutely intolerable to the United States and Britain.

But considering the relationship between the two parties, they will probably do something secretly.

"Okay, let's just continue having fun. Let the arsenal speed up production. I guess it won't be long before someone comes to buy weapons and equipment." Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and spoke.

"Yes." Meng nodded angrily.

.........

Persia, ever since rejecting the German envoy's proposal, Pahlavi always felt uneasy.

But he didn't know what the reason was.

Pahlavi became king after overthrowing his father with the support of the British Empire.

But when he became king, he found that his hands and feet were completely tied.

Any policy he wanted to implement had to be approved by the British army.

Not only that, his kingdom also benefited greatly from the British army.

Fortunately, he cleverly brought in the United States and the Soviet Union, and by playing both sides, Persia gradually became much stronger.

Of course, it is only a little bit stronger, and the interests it can control are not much.

He also saw the overall changes in the world and knew that the scale of this war was becoming larger and larger.

I have been cautious and played both sides in order to stay out of trouble.

So when the German envoy found him, he directly rejected their proposal.

What a joke, attacking the Soviet army from the north and south?

Isn't it because of brain problems?
Can't you have the best of both worlds?
But as soon as he refused, the Soviet army launched an attack, which made him extremely worried.

"Your Majesty, an urgent telegram has come from the north. The Soviet army has occupied several cities and massacred many people. Now the north has become a scorched earth." The Minister of Foreign Affairs hurried in and said to Pahlavi with some panic as he looked at him.

"Why?" Pahlavi felt his blood pressure soaring and almost fainted, but he still forced himself to ask.

"I don't know." The Minister of Foreign Affairs was also confused. He had no idea why the Soviet army wanted to massacre the city after the attack?
Now the northern region is in chaos, and the slaughtered tribes have begun to retaliate frantically.

This led to more severe retaliation from the Soviet army.

"Do you think it was the Germans who revealed it? But when did we discover such a large oil field?" King Pahlavi looked through the map over and over again in the past two days, but he couldn't figure out why there was oil here.

More than 40 billion barrels of oil, isn't this nonsense?
Are you driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger?
Is the German army forcing them to join the other side?

If they really joined, I am afraid that Britain and the United States would definitely acquiesce to the Soviet occupation of Persia.

The thought of this made Pahlavi feel overwhelmed.

"Where are the Soviet troops outside the city?" asked Pahlavi.

"There is no movement for the time being. The British and American garrisons have surrounded their barracks." said the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"Your Majesty, I think we should make a decision."

Hearing this, Pahlavi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said.

"No, let me think about it."

"Yes."

…………

"Dear President, we absolutely cannot tolerate the Soviet army moving south to Persia. With an outlet to the sea in the south, it will become more difficult to contain them in the future." Fatty Qiu picked up the phone and said in a heavy tone.

Luo Yiche's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You are right. The Soviet army is trying to expand its territory in the name of war. The greedy Russian bear will never tolerate their behavior. With an outlet to the sea, we will not be able to stop them in the future." "What do you mean?" asked Fatty Qiu.

"Let Turkey come forward. We can support their demands and provide some weapons." Luo Wheelchair said lightly.

Hearing this, Fatty Qiu was stunned, and then he realized that this was dragging Türkiye into the water.

How could the other party not be tempted when such a huge benefit is given?
What's more, the United States and Britain are supporting it behind the scenes.

But what is harmed is the interests of the British Empire.

But in order to win the war, Fatty Qiu took a deep breath and then spoke.

"can."

When the British and American envoys arrived together, Inonu was still confused.

Like Persia, Türkiye also wanted to restore its former glory at this time.

It turns out that it is very difficult to have the best of both worlds.

Especially after the rise of Germany, it became more difficult.

When he learned that the Soviet army was heading south to Persia, Inonu saw a glimmer of hope.

That is to expand power eastward.

As for westward?

Ok!

Can't afford to offend Germany.

After all, Germany, which was invincible in Europe, was not someone he could afford to provoke.

Therefore, he obediently considered expanding his influence eastward.

Just as they were about to take action, they received news that the Soviet army was moving south.

"Let me send troops? To help Persia? To contain the Soviet offensive?" Inonu looked at the British and American envoys in front of him and asked puzzledly.

"Yes, we will give you some help and even allow you to occupy some territories."

"Including restoring some of the territories of the former Ottoman Empire." The answer given by the British and American envoys made Inonu's eyes light up.

You have to know that at this time, after the Soviet army was defeated by the German army, Türkiye felt that the Soviet army was just so-so.

After all, the Soviet army's iron torrent has not yet been revealed.

If it were next year, Inonu would never dare to challenge the authority of the Soviet army.

"This, I need to think about it. After all, your fleet suffered heavy losses in Alexandria, and your so-called support is difficult to obtain." Inonu is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to be fooled by a few words.

"Well, you are right, but our main fleet will arrive soon. It is only a matter of time to destroy the navies of the four countries." The British and American envoys seemed very calm.

After the Battle of Midway, the U.S. Navy entered a period of rapid expansion, with warships being built and so-called escort aircraft carriers being launched every day.

In other words, after comparing the strength of both sides, Britain and the United States believed that destroying the navies of the four countries was not a problem at all.

That's why he made such a boast.

Hearing this, Inonu took a deep breath. The Allied Forces were indeed very strong as they were able to mobilize a main fleet so quickly.

"Can I think about it?" Inonu thought for a while before giving an answer.

"No problem, we don't have much time." The British and American envoys nodded and then left.

As soon as they left, the German envoy came again.

"You want us to send troops too?" Inonu looked at the German envoy in front of him in disbelief.

"Yes, we will give you certain concessions, including asking Bulgaria to give up some disputed territory," said the German envoy.

It has to be said that this time, in order to delay the Soviet army, Germany also offered considerable conditions.

The grievances between Türkiye and Bulgaria have lasted for hundreds of years.

After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the two sides had disputes over territorial issues for a long time.

If Germany had not supported Bulgaria, the two sides would have been beaten to a bloody pulp.

What Inonu didn't expect was that Germany actually agreed to cede these disputed territories.

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

The reason why the conditions of Britain and the United States were not agreed to immediately was because of Germany's attitude.

Although the Allied industrial strength is very strong.

But the German army really relied on its own strength to defeat all opponents in Europe.

It is impossible not to be afraid.

"Really?" Inonu asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Please rest assured that we are still sincere." The words of the German envoy completely moved Inonu.

Now that we have the promise of the three countries, we can definitely give this a try.

"We will send troops as promised." Inonu took a deep breath and spoke.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, the German envoy's smile grew even wider.

"Your Excellency, is it done just like that?" William asked in disbelief.

"Of course. Don't you find it incredible?" the German envoy asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's incredible that it was completed so easily." William felt like he was dreaming.

"What Colonel Cun said makes a lot of sense."

"That is, as long as they are given enough benefits, they will be shaken."

"Loyalty also depends on whether the chips of betrayal are sufficient." German envoy Ribbentrop chuckled.

"Now it depends on what Persia will choose, surrender or send troops?"

"But this has nothing to do with us. The oil fields in Persia are too far away from us, but the oil fields in Baku must be taken."

After listening to the other party's words, William was silent for a long time.

He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

"So do we need to give Persia some support?" William pondered for a while before asking.

"No, Britain and the United States will help them." The German envoy shook his head and said.

.........

"Alborz, we must rely on our own strength to resist the Soviet army." After the negotiations failed, Pahlavi decided to fight to the end.

Otherwise, the feeling of being at the mercy of others is really unpleasant.

More importantly, the Soviet army was not as powerful as imagined.

"But our weapons are very weak. How can we face the Soviet army?" Alberts looked at the king in front of him hesitantly and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Didn't the Sichuan Army in the distance say that they could sell us twenty American-equipped divisions?" Pahlavi asked.

"Go and bring back this batch of weapons. With them, we can drive away the Soviet army."

Hearing this, Alberts was stunned.

He didn't believe that the Sichuan Army could come up with so many weapons and equipment.

And the other party was talking about twenty divisions.

These are not twenty companies.

"Go, they can get it out." Pahlavi seemed tired and waved his hand to signal Alberts to go out.

With doubts, Alberts left the palace.

And Pahlavi looked at the map and made sure that he could provide the weapons and equipment for these twenty divisions.

It was purely because of the information secretly revealed by Britain and the United States.
