Chapter 1058 Digging a Hole for the Soviet Union

"Will we give the Soviets too much benefit this time?" At this time, in the wolf's den, Scherner asked Cyric.

During this time, Cyric had been staying in the wolf's lair, and he had no plans to meet the Soviet foreign minister, and Ribbentrop's conditions were all at the behest of Cyric.

The Soviets want to attack Iran, no way! Iran is Germany's friend and cannot be invaded by the Soviets. Even if Germany risks a war with the Soviet Union, it will not give up Iran's interests.

Germany's actions in Iran are more direct than in Finland.

But on the other hand, Germany is quite tolerant of the Soviet Union, which is to promise to divide India with the Soviet Union.

If the Soviet Union got India, it would be no different from getting Iran. In short, the Soviets would have access to the Indian Ocean to the south. Of course, a powerful Soviet Union was not in line with Germany's strategic interests.

Listening to his subordinate's question, Cyric couldn't help but smile: "As long as Iran is still in our hands, even if the Indian subcontinent is given to the Soviet Union, what can the Soviets do? They can link their own territory together. Don't you? Don't forget, there is Afghanistan in the middle!"

Cyric is very relaxed, because he is very aware of the current situation.

If the Soviets wanted to go south, they had to pass through Afghanistan. Central Asia is full of high mountains, and only Afghanistan is relatively easy to walk. Only through Afghanistan can they reach the Pakistani region of later generations.

Now, the German army is in difficulty. After occupying the entire Middle East, it takes a lot of energy to consolidate the order in the Middle East. Therefore, if you continue to chase George VI, it is already very difficult.

However, this is only the result of our own unwillingness to continue to increase our troops in the Middle East, because our main force will be used to deal with the Soviet Union!

India's problems can be ignored for the time being. George VI, who fled to India, can't raise too much trouble, but they have to face many problems. In addition to the Soviets, island countries also hit the Indian Ocean.

Afghanistan was something that the Soviet Union had to pass through on its way to the south, and the Kingdom of Afghanistan was absolutely unwilling to be controlled by the Soviet Union. In later generations, Afghanistan was called the cemetery of the empire.

If the Soviets really take the bait and go to fight Afghanistan, then they can just watch the fun, and don’t need their own support at all, and Afghanistan can consume the Soviets to death.

Neither the Soviet Union nor the United States gained any real benefits in Afghanistan, and it was simply not worth the loss. This is Cyric digging a hole for the Soviet Union.

This is one aspect, and the other aspect, of course, is the intercepted intelligence of the Soviet Union.

The big thunderstorm plan of the Soviets has been a highly secret plan so far, and there is not much substantive content, and the German intelligence department has noticed this plan.

The Soviets actually wanted to do it first? Of course, Germany can't let the Soviets do their thing, and let the Soviets go to Afghanistan to wade through the water to consume their passion, isn't it better?

In the end, if the Soviets did this, they would offend the United States again. How could the United States support the Soviets?

Cyric's analysis was straightforward, and the people present nodded in agreement. The layout of the head of Cyric was indeed far-sighted!

"Ribbentrop called and said that the Soviets wanted us to make a promise not to build bomber bases in Iraq and Iran, not to deploy bombers." At this moment, Keitel came in and said.

What the Soviets were worried about was the safety of their Baku oilfields! Hearing this request, Cyric made a decision immediately: "No problem, we can agree to them. We only deploy fighter jets in these two countries."

What's the use of signing an agreement? Not for tearing up? It's just that the Soviets' worries are really correct. If they go to war with the Soviet Union, they will definitely blow up the Baku oil field in the first place, and make the Soviet armored troops become scrap iron.

Historically, Germany has suffered from the shortage of oil, and this war, let the Soviets be subject to such constraints!

"Führer Cyric, the news just came from the United States, as you expected, that Roosevelt really wants to run for the third presidential election!" Reinhardt excitedly reported to Cyric.

Roosevelt, this lame man, is really high-spirited. He actually wants to break the convention of US presidential elections. The convention established by the first founding president, Washington, will automatically retire after serving as president for two terms.

Starting from Washington, subsequent presidents have maintained this tradition out of respect for him, that is, he is not seeking a new re-election after being re-elected once, and now, Roosevelt actually wants to continue to be president!

Move a little maza and watch the show on the other side of the ocean!

Senator Alben Barkley sat quietly in his seat, knowing his mission was over.

Now, this is an internal meeting of the Democratic Party held in Chicago. This meeting is to carry out the presidential nomination within the Democratic Party. First, the presidential candidate will be determined within the party, and then the presidential candidate of the Republican Party will be competed.

Alban has announced Roosevelt's statement to the General Assembly. Roosevelt has no desire or purpose to be the next president. After all, Roosevelt is shameful and cannot break the convention left by President Washington.

"The deputies can elect whoever you want." Alban was still brazenly announcing Roosevelt's decision half an hour ago.

However, just when the delegates decided on the new nominee list, Senator Lister Hill handed in the name of President Roosevelt.

As a result, the atmosphere in the entire venue was chaotic.

"Everyone knows that we are in a special period now, and our country is going through a huge disaster." Lister explained the reason for his nomination to those present: "In this case, our country, It is not suitable to have a new president, it is not suitable to have new changes, and if someone else is replaced, then the country's policies will change."

"Back then, under the circumstances of a major crisis, our President Roosevelt used powerful means to save our country from the economic crisis through reforms, and now, our country is caught in another crisis, We are going through the worst crisis in history, our Pacific fleet has been destroyed, our homeland has been hit, and in times of war like this, I don't think we should have a new president as our president. "

Unlike in history, now, the war has begun! These are extraordinary times, and of course an unconventional approach is required.
