#1056 at All Costs

The name of the blood city Qazvin was definitely not for nothing, it was dyed red with blood!

The Soviet launched an offensive regardless of sacrifice, but it still failed. More than 8,000 people were killed in action. This is an extremely terrifying number!

"Although we don't have the statistics of the Iranians, and the battle reports on the front line are full of moisture, we can know that the Iranian casualties will never be less than ours, and their casualties must be more than 20,000." Budyonny's The beard was shaking a little, and he said angrily: "However, the Iranians are still mobilizing people into Qazvin. They are spending time with us, and we can't afford it."

"Are those Iranians crazy? Why are they fighting this war of attrition with us in Qazvin? It's horrible!"

Dissatisfied voices came out one by one, and the people present seemed to have nothing but cursing.

Stalin's face was cold, he didn't say a word, just stared at the map in a trance.

I thought that Iran would be easy to conquer, but who knows, another bite on the stone!

In the war in Finland, there has not been much progress. In Iran, are the Soviets still in a quagmire? Besides embarrassing the Soviets, what has been gained now?

"We have to mobilize more troops to eliminate the Iraqi army entrenched in Tabriz." Khrushchev said: "We can mobilize more troops, such as 50,000, or 100,000, Must conquer Iran!"

Move more troops? Does this fueling tactic work? During this time, Iran was able to reorganize ten infantry divisions!

The original plan was to destroy Iran quickly, but now, it is in the midst of a terrible continuous war. The Soviet Union is not prepared, and that is not the focus of the Soviet Union.

"We can't increase investment in Iran any more, this will seriously affect our plan for a major thunderstorm." Zhukov said.

The thunderstorm plan is to invade Eastern Europe, eat the meat of Germany, and even destroy Germany. Such a battle plan will undoubtedly require crazy people to do it, and it also requires more troops. .

Zhukov was the main maker of the plan. He knew how many troops the Soviets needed to realize this plan. Therefore, at this time, there must be no more troops in Iran.

The main battlefield of the thunderstorm plan, in Europe, is definitely not West Asia and the Middle East!

Hearing this, Stalin's mind immediately sobered up. Indeed, he almost fell into a misunderstanding. For the current Soviet, the most important thing is the thunderstorm plan. If this plan is successful, Germany will perish, Iran, Iraq, Don't these countries have to obey the Soviets?

"Iran's mountains are not conducive to the combat of mechanized troops at all. Ordinary infantry divisions are completely desperate to spend their precious soldiers in Qazvin, which is inappropriate." Zhukov continued.

The Soviets have already lost a lot of money. The organized land has been eliminated, and the number of troops has to be cancelled. There are several. Now the Soviets should stop.

"However, if we don't continue to mobilize troops now, the troops in Qazvin are at risk of being eaten by the combined attack of Iraqi and Iranian troops." Khrushchev said: "If we don't continue to invest in troops , then we are going to watch our Soviets lose their troops."

Although Khrushchev has no military experience, he can see the hidden risks. Will the Soviets ignore the troops in the encirclement?

"It seems that we must end this war." Finally, Stalin spoke.

After Stalin finished speaking, Khrushchev did not dare to speak again, but he could not disobey Stalin's intentions.

"But if we retreat like this, of course it is impossible." Stalin continued: "Molotov, we are going to make the most serious protest to Germany, they are not only in Finland, they continue to cause trouble for us, and now, The Germans actually stretched their hands to Iran. Do the Germans want a war with our Soviets? Tell the Germans to stretch their hands back, or our Soviets will cut it off with our swords Stand by, we can do whatever it takes!"

Stalin's words are very powerful. At any cost, it can be extended to a war with Germany!

At Stalin's orders, almost a few hours later, Molotov went to Berlin with a diplomatic team.

As a foreign affairs commissar of the Soviet, Molotov's task this time is very arduous. If it is not good, it is possible for the two countries to go to war. Molotov is also very clear in his heart that it is not good for the Soviet now.

For the past few years, Germany has been fighting wars and winning them, they are the most glorious moment, but what about the Soviets? Except for a fortune in Poland, the rest of the time was not going well.

Molotov was at a loss.

In particular, when he got off the plane, the only people who came to greet him were the Soviet embassy and the diplomats of the German government. They were very busy, and no one came to greet him!

Sitting in the car, Ribbentrop's face was equally gloomy.

"A few days ago, we protested to the German government about the German army in Iran." The Soviet ambassador reported to Ribbentrop: "However, our protest did not receive any official response. Later we heard that Ribbentrop took the protest paper and wiped his shoes, and after that, it went into the trash."

Molotov's mood suddenly became heavier. He looked outside. In the past few years, Germany has not been engaged in construction. Berlin is still the same as before. The swastika flags hang outside the windows of every household. It is the people who are single-minded, such a country is invincible!

What would your attitude be like? Molotov knew that if he brought in Stalin's tone, there was no doubt that the two countries would instantly turn into a confrontation.

That Soviet aircraft carrier hasn't been repaired yet! Germany still owes a lot to the Soviets! Now Germany and the Soviets have turned hostile, which has little effect on Germany, but has many disadvantages for the Soviet Union.

Being a diplomat is really hard!

How straight the spine of a diplomat is, it depends entirely on the country behind him!

The car stopped and the German Foreign Office arrived.

Molotov entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building with mixed feelings. He thought he was about to hit a nail, but the situation was not too bad. German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop actually accepted his visit.

"Mr. Molotov, if you are here to protest against us, then please go back." Ribbentrop said straight to the point: "You should know that Persia and we have the same Aryan blood, we will not Watching our compatriots suffer innocently."
