Chapter 240: Husky sent out troops? (First update!)

"You agreed to equip twenty divisions so quickly?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fanle and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, the captain of the guards in the palace just brought news that the twenty American-equipped divisions purchased will arrive at the Bangkok Port in three days." Meng Fanle nodded.

To be honest, when Meng Fanle heard the news, he was also confused and very puzzled.

Why this equipment procurement went so smoothly.

It seems like everything is arranged.

"Not only that, General Stilwell said that payment can be delayed and there is no need to rush. It seems that he is not worried at all that he cannot afford to pay." Meng Fanle continued.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and wondered what Stilwell meant by this.

All these weapons and equipment were delivered so quickly, and there is no need to worry about payment.

This shows that Stilwell should know who would use these weapons.

In other words, he already knew that the weapons would be purchased by Persia.

Was it leaked?

There is such a possibility!
The intelligence agencies of these great powers cannot be underestimated.

Their strength should never be underestimated.

Is there something wrong with the people on his side?
Or someone from the Siamese royal palace?

There were few people who knew about his deal with Alberts, so it was impossible for him to be betrayed.

Then there are the big Chinese families in Bangkok.

As for these big Chinese families, Cun Yunsheng doesn't believe in their so-called loyalty at all.

For big families like these, betrayal is just a matter of moments as long as the price offered is high enough.

"Commander, what does this mean?" Meng Fanle asked after hesitating for a while.

"It's very simple. Stilwell guessed the buyer of these weapons." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"Ah? We kept it very secret, how could they possibly guess it?" Meng Fan asked in confusion.

"No matter how secretive we are, it's bound to be leaked by someone. Maybe someone in the palace leaked it, or maybe someone in Persia leaked it."

"In any case, someone must have leaked it. As for who it was, it no longer matters." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

For a moment, Cun Yunsheng felt a little discouraged. To put it bluntly, the power and advantage he possessed were too small.

"Ah? Doesn't that mean Stilwell has already set his sights on us?" Meng Fanle said in surprise.

They have been cautious all along, because they are afraid of being targeted by Stilwell, which would then be troublesome.

But unexpectedly, it was discovered in the end.

Now Meng Fanle is indeed a little panicked and doesn’t know what to do?
"Why panic? Since Stilwell has shipped these weapons here, it means that he agrees to us selling them." After calming down, Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that there should be nothing to worry about.

Otherwise, Stilwell would not agree to ship the equipment of these twenty divisions.

"Ah? Why? They can obviously sell these weapons themselves? They can even make extra money." Meng Fan asked with a confused look on his face.

"If they sell it themselves, they will give people a chance to criticize them." Cun Yunsheng sneered.

He wondered why Stilwell was so eager to ship these weapons here.

It was simply through them that these weapons were sold to Persia.

The plot reminded him of two movies, "Lord of War" and "The Gunrunners".

Some of the plots in it are very similar to what he is currently experiencing.

It is obvious that the US military is the mastermind behind the incident, but they still have to find an agent to cover up their true identity.

"Don't forget, the Soviets are our allies. But if they use this lame excuse to march south to Persia, it will cause dissatisfaction among Britain and the United States."

"But considering the alliance between the two sides, it is difficult to turn against each other openly, but they will definitely make some small moves in secret."

"And the equipment of these twenty divisions represents their attitude." Cun Yunsheng sneered. He never thought that he would become an agent of the US military one day. He wondered if it would be made into a movie in the future?

"Isn't this too complicated?" Meng Fanle looked at Cun Yunsheng in amazement. He didn't expect this to be so complicated.

"You don't really think that the great powers are fools?" Cun Yunsheng said unhappily.

"Since you want us to be your agent, you have to give us some benefits."

"When Alberts comes again, tell him to double the price."

"Also, let them ask Stilwell for weapons. Don't be afraid. Let them ask for planes, artillery, tanks, everything."

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to gain more benefits, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"Will Stilwell agree?" Meng Fanle asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, they will agree, especially after the Soviet offensive frightened Britain and the United States, they will definitely agree." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.

…………

On the other hand, the Soviet army performed very well indeed.

Especially when facing the mountainous terrain of Persia, the Soviet army did not deploy armored units, but mainly relied on cavalry divisions.

The simultaneous roars of tens of thousands of horses from the three cavalry divisions frightened many Persian chiefs.

"Ula, uh!"

"Ula, uh!"

All the Soviet cavalry shouted and attacked the chiefs' base.

Compared with the assembly speed of ordinary infantry divisions, the assembly speed of cavalry is still very fast.

Especially when the cavalry division's speed was increased, there was a touch of beauty in the charge, and the charge of tens of thousands of war horses made the earth tremble.

When facing the German army, the Soviet cavalry division may not have been able to exert such strong combat effectiveness.

After all, the German MG34 general-purpose machine gun is not a vegetarian.

But now they were facing Persia, and in a mountainous area.

In this kind of terrain, cavalry has an absolute advantage.

The roads were narrow and cars could not pass through on a large scale, but cavalry could pass through easily.

Use high mobility to appear in front of the enemy at lightning speed.

More importantly, cavalry is less dependent on logistics.

As long as you are ruthless, you can basically replenish your supplies wherever you want.

This is also why Pahlavi learned that several cities in the north had been massacred.

It is impossible to make these chiefs hand over the food obediently.

After all, Persia itself is not a grain-producing area, and food is everyone’s hope for survival.

Just hand it over like that?

Isn't that forcing them to die?

On one side, people died in battle, on the other side, people died of starvation.

Unless you are a fool, you will definitely resist.

Not to mention these Persian chiefs, each of them is full of martial virtues.

Although their weapons and equipment were far behind those of the Soviet Army, they were familiar with the terrain and relied on it to resist step by step.

The Soviet army suffered a lot.

But soon the Soviet army mobilized heavy troops again, and as a result, seven or eight out of ten of these chiefs were wiped out.

"Ura, kill them all." Major General Shevchuk, commander of the Soviet Cavalry Division, looked at the chiefs fleeing in the distance, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Yes."

If you want to become a qualified cavalryman, shooting on horseback is a basic ability. If you can only maneuver on horseback but cannot shoot on horseback, you are just a mounted infantryman.

The Soviet cavalrymen who received the order rode their horses with one hand, aimed their guns with the other, and pulled the trigger.

Basically, there was no need to aim, I just relied on the gun sense I developed through daily training to shoot.

There was a burst of gunfire, and many of the fleeing tribal soldiers fell to the ground. There were simply not enough for them to shoot and kill.

In less than ten minutes, not a single person among the hundreds of people was left alive.

After all, they were all cavalry and had no energy to carry so many prisoners.

Their mission was to advance quickly and capture the Persian capital of Tehran in one fell swoop.

"Sir, there is a small town ahead." A major came to Major General Shevchuk and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Major General Shevchuk's eyes lit up, and then he spoke with a little excitement.

"Speed ​​up, capture the town ahead, and celebrate for a day."

When many soldiers heard this, their eyes lit up.

As a veteran, he naturally understood what this sentence meant, which was that during this day, the division commander would not care what they were doing.

For a time, the morale of the Soviet army was greatly boosted and the marching speed increased.

The unlucky ones are the local tribes.

.........

In the Tehran Palace, Pahlavi looked at telegram after telegram with an extremely gloomy face.

These are telegrams sent from the north. Chiefs from all over the country sent telegrams one after another, hoping that the royal family could step in and stop the Soviet army from advancing southward.

Is he capable of stopping the Soviet army from advancing southward?

What a fart!
The Soviet army had troops stationed in Tehran, but what was the result?
They are just garrisoning there and nothing is wrong.

The British and American troops stationed there just kept a close eye on them to prevent them from causing any trouble.

Don't care about anything else.

So he could only pretend he didn't see this kind of request for help.

His hope now is that Britain and the United States can come forward to stop the Soviet army's southward advance.

As a result, Britain and the United States only revealed that weapons and equipment could be purchased in the Far East.

The rest was left unsaid.

This left him speechless.

What can you do after buying weapons?

Aren't they just organizing their own troops to fight the Soviet Army?
"Your Majesty, the German envoy is here again." At this time, the captain of the guard came in again and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Pahlavi narrowed his eyes. He always felt that the Soviet army's sudden move southward this time had something to do with the German army.

Otherwise, as soon as we rejected the other party, the Soviet army would move south.

This is really strange.

Thinking of this, Pahlavi pondered for a while and then said.

"Let him in."

Not long after, the German envoy entered the Pahlavi palace again.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you are so worried that you can't eat lately?" The German envoy had a relaxed expression on his face and was even in the mood to tease the other party.

If it were someone else, Pahlavi would either drive the person away or kill him directly.

But now he can only endure it and even have to put on a smile.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, can your country solve the predicament of my kingdom?" Pahlavi said with great respect.

Seeing this, the German envoy first nodded, then shook his head.

"If His Majesty the King had agreed to our conditions before, we would not only be able to repel the Soviet army, but we could even send troops to recover some of the lost territory."

"What a pity! Now everything is ruined. Before I arrived, the Soviet army was less than 100 kilometers away from Tehran. According to the Soviet attack speed, it is expected to appear in Tehran tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"I'm afraid that at that time, all that will be left for His Majesty is either to retreat south or to surrender."

"But by that time, Persia was completely destroyed."

It has to be said that the German envoy's words made Pahlavi look extremely ugly.

Although he had a lucky mentality, now it was torn apart so blatantly by others.

Naturally, his expression would not be very good.

"As for the United Kingdom and the United States, whom you have high hopes for, I am afraid they can hardly protect themselves. Just now, I received a telegram from Field Marshal Rommel of the North African Corps. They have occupied Cairo, and the entire south bank of the canal belongs to our German army."

"As long as you sign this offensive and defensive alliance agreement, our North African Corps will immediately cross the canal to rescue Persia."

"And we can help you train modern troops." The words of the German envoy were like a heavy hammer that silenced the Pahlavi for a while.

He also knew that Britain and the United States were unreliable, especially the British Empire, which had betrayed its allies several times for its own interests.

The exploitation of their colonies was even more crazy.

So, psychologically speaking, he had no good feelings towards the British army.

Just like when the Japanese army attacked Burma before, the Burmese natives chose to help the Japanese army for a reason.

such a pity!
The Japanese army exploited us more cruelly than the British army!

So, these natives began to miss the British army again.

As for the US military?

Just treat it as a joke. They are at least tens of thousands of miles away from Persia.

Come to support them?

What a joke.

Right now, the only ones who can really rescue them are the German army.

Looking at the silent Pahlavi, the German envoy believed that he would definitely convince the other party.

Although the Persian army's combat effectiveness is not very good, if it undergoes some systematic training, it can still be used as cannon fodder.

"Can you really help us repel the Soviet army?" Pahlavi asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, rest assured, the German Army is definitely the strongest force in the world. We have wiped out millions of Soviet troops on the Eastern Front."

"A mere 200,000 Soviet troops are nothing." The German envoy said confidently.

Hearing this, Pahlavi did not refute.

Because what the other party said is true.

Although the Soviet army showed off its power in front of Persia, it was really beaten by the German army.

"Okay, I agree to your request, but I hope you can arrive in Persia within half a month." In the end, Pahlavi decided to agree to all the other party's demands and join the German army.

The reason why it takes half a month is that the American equipment he wants to buy will arrive around that time.

By then, when you have some strength in your hands, you will have more things to talk about.

Hearing this, the German envoy showed a look of joy on his face and took out the alliance document that had been prepared long ago. As long as it was signed, everything would be done.

It was worth it for all his efforts during this period.

Just as Pahlavi was about to sign, the captain of the guards rushed in with an excited expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news. Turkey has sent troops. Their air force has just attacked the Baku oil fields and destroyed countless oil refining equipment."

The captain of the guards' words instantly made the meeting room silent.

Pahlavi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The German envoy looked at the other party with a grim face.

　I just want to deliver the courier, but you want me to be included? Just to get a chapter recommendation!

　　The reason for the child's vomiting was found out, it was the Norovirus. Half of the 40-plus children in a class had a high fever and vomited last night! It was outrageous.

　　My son vomited eight times in one night and by four in the morning, it was like he hadn't slept all night. I just came back from the hospital and I'm going to update a chapter quickly!
　　Sorry!
