Chapter 1057 The Indian Problem

Ribbentrop said it succinctly.

If Germany's role in the Soviet-Finnish war is disgraceful, in the Iran war, Germany can absolutely justifiably intervene.

Because the Soviet Union is an unreasonable party, without any warning or excuse, the Soviet Union launched an attack on Iran, which is simply the most shameless behavior.

The Soviets are disgraceful.

Moreover, the ancestry of the Iranians is the same as that of the Germans. The Germans are friends of Germany for Iran. In this case, it is righteous and righteous for Germany to help Iran, even if it is just because of this incident and the Soviet Union. Never regret it.

Ribbentrop looked at Molotov: "If it's for this, then don't waste our time with each other."

In a word, blocked Molotov to the point of being speechless, protesting what? Protest that Germany encouraged Iran to fight and did not let the Soviets occupy Iran? Did not enter Tehran and subvert the Iranian royal family?

These are the logic of robbers. If you want to be a qualified robber, you must at least have a record. Now, what the Soviet Union lacks is the record. How can you compare it with the Germans?

In terms of momentum, Molotov was immediately discouraged.

Now, he already knows the bottom line of the Germans. The Germans will not give up their support for Iran, even if the two countries are facing each other, the two most powerful countries in Eurasia will not hesitate to enter a state of war!

Then, Stalin's words before he came, can't be said. Saying it is equivalent to declaring war. This makes Molotov very embarrassed. Of course, he knows that before the plan for the thunderstorm is properly prepared, he hastily declared war against the Soviet Union. what is the benefit?

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Molotov still didn't know what to say.

"If the Soviet Union is willing to withdraw its troops, then we will ask the Iranian side to let go and let the Soviet troops go back. At the same time, those soldiers captured by Iran can also be sent back according to the prisoner exchange agreement, including the one named Yaco. Husband's lads can be exchanged," Ribbentrop continued.

Hearing this sentence, Molotov immediately felt ripples in his heart. It seems that the German side has no intention of completely tearing its face with the Soviet Union, and the Germans still have a compromise.

Qazvin, the Soviet army has been surrounded, and the Soviet Union is in a dilemma. Now, Germany promises that if the Soviet Union decides to retreat, it can open the passage, let the Soviets go, and exchange prisoners, especially Yakov!

Now, Yakov's capture is an open secret. Under the hype of the Iranians, almost everyone knows that Stalin's son was captured by Iran.

From this point of view, it should be the best choice for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, which is difficult to ride a tiger, can preserve its strength and exchange Stalin's son.

But, in this case, what did the Soviet get?

After more than a month of preparation and half a month of fighting, over 10,000 casualties were lost, and several army towns were wiped out. What was the result of the Soviet Union in the end? Returning to the original place, maintaining the same, what is the meaning of the sacrifice of the Soviet soldiers?

After working for a long time, the Soviets were killed and injured countless times, and they were still busy in vain? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Soviets have failed!

Molotov knew that such a result would not satisfy Stalin, but the Germans had done it with great force.

At least, the Germans did not make things difficult for the issue of war compensation. If the Soviets retreated and the Germans asked for a sum, would the Soviets give it or not?

National interests cannot be compromised, and Molotov still feels embarrassed.

"It is not impossible for the Soviets to gain access to the Indian Ocean, but Moscow's vision is too short-sighted." At this moment, Ribbentrop spoke again: "Remembering the close cooperation we had in Poland in the past, It really hurts our hearts that we could have cooperated, but ended up almost going into a hostile state."

This puzzled Molotov: "Mr. Ribbentrop, could you be more explicit?"

"Now, George VI and Churchill and his gang have fled to the Indian colonies." Ribbentrop said: "We are looking forward to bringing these traitors to justice, but now we have reached the limit of our military deployment. , and India's territory is too large."

Speaking of this, Molotov suddenly reacted, and immediately secretly scolded Khrushchev for his stupidity. Indeed, why do you want to do things on the Iranian side and go directly to India? Isn't it more appropriate?

Germany's military deployment has indeed reached its limit. After hitting Iraq, the huge area of ​​North Africa and the Middle East will take a few years for the Germans to digest, and the Germans have been unable to concentrate their efforts to advance to the South Asian subcontinent.

And Churchill's group is now resisting in India, trying in vain to return to Europe. As an old-fashioned colony, the people in India are indeed very loyal to the British.

Moreover, George VI also promised to hand over India to the Soviets, no matter from which point of view, India should have the Soviets!

Now, did the Germans promise to give up India's interests?

"India is too huge." Ribbentrop said: "Such a huge country is not in our interests. It is better for the Indian subcontinent to be divided into several countries, which is more in our interests. Know if Moscow is interested in India."

"Can I take this as your invitation? Like it was for Poland?" Molotov asked.

If the Germans agreed to the Soviet Union's invasion of India on the surface, and then secretly manipulated it, the Soviet Union would suffer a big loss. The same thing, how could it continue to be on the ground?

"Of course it is," said Ribbentrop.

"I'm sorry, I still don't understand." Molotov said: "Wouldn't it be better for the Indian subcontinent to be handed over to Edward VIII?"

After all, in Britain, there is still the puppet of Edward VIII supported by Germany! The Indian subcontinent belongs to Edward VIII, which is the Germans. Why should it be separated so that the Soviets can benefit?

"Because a strong Britain is not in our interests." Ribbentrop said it very clearly, and Molotov quickly understood that although Germany had annexed Britain, it still did not want Britain to be strong, for fear The people of these colonies finally set off a resistance struggle because they missed and supported Britain.

In this case, it is a good way to manage India separately.

To deal with Churchill's government in exile without making Edward VIII too powerful, it is understandable to divide India into two parts.
