Chapter 1425 Help Each Other
The investigation of the Ural oil field fell on his own side. When he received this telegram, Rommel was overjoyed. He hadn't fought for a long time, which made Rommel feel a little idle.
In fact, Africa is not very peaceful. A free French organization is making a riot in the southern part of Africa. However, Germany must concentrate all its energy on fighting the Soviet Union, so it is not appropriate to start a war in other places, even if it uses the forces of the other countries, then It will also bring resource constraints to Germany.
Now, Rommel finally has such a task, which is quite happy.
In fact, the strategic bomber unit is not in Rommel's hands. What they have to do is to play a cooperative role and provide a base for take-off. As long as you open the map and look at it, you will know that you want to fly to the Ural Mountains, Iran. is the most appropriate.
"Dear Lu, are you willing to accompany me to Iran?" Rommel said to his wife. He just said that he would take his wife to Iran and walk with the Iranian royal family. Now he has the opportunity.
A few hours later, Rommel's special plane landed at Tehran Airport.
"Mrs. Lucy, you are too young, can I call you Sister Lucy?" Just as they got off the plane, a princess with a big cake face greeted you.
Hearing this, Lucy instantly became fond of Da Pie Face: "Of course, you are Princess Ashraf, right? I'll call you Sister Ashraf."
"Sister, when you go to the palace, I will take you to my bedroom to play. I have a lot of good things brought from Europe there."
It might only take a minute for the two women to make out. Holding hands, they became good friends who could talk about everything. When Lucy came out of Princess Ashraf's bedroom, she had already put on a pair of glasses. The large carat diamond ring and the gold jewelry on the top of the head are even more sparkling.
Rommel also breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to talk about business.
In fact, asking Iran to lease an air force base is very easy. It only takes a phone call. When Rommel came here, he mainly brought his wife around, for fear that she would talk about going back to Europe every day.
And now, with the welcome of Prince Pahlavi, Rommel came all the way to the palace and met King Reza Khan.
Rommel has never been to Iran. In the past, Model was always in Iran to help them resist the invasion of the Soviet Union. Even so, Rommel ruled such a vast area, and Iran respected Rommel.
"Marshal Rommel, welcome to visit Tehran more in the future." King Reza Khan looked at Rommel eagerly at the gate of the palace. He is a fart as a king. The area under Rommel's rule is his Iranian territory. It was several times larger, and his troops were even more powerful.
"I came this time mainly to borrow the air base in Tehran as a temporary station for our bombers." Rommel went straight to the point.
"There is no problem at all. We will vacate the air base in Tehran and give it to your side." Because of the advance notice, Reza Khan did not resist too much, and he had no ability to refuse at all.
Anyway, the requisition of the air force base here is to bomb the Soviet Union. Since Iran has decided to attack Baku, it will completely break with the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union does not fail, it will not be good for Iran.
As for the Soviet Union, their bomber unit is useless, they should leave, if not, then let them go.
"There is no need to vacate, we just transfer, prepare fuel, food, personnel rooms, and ground staff who are stationed in advance." Rommel is very generous: "Iran is our ally, and we have nothing to worry about."
The Junkers-290 and the Atlantic airliner are common, and there is no such thing as technically leaking secrets. After Germany and the United States turned their faces, the airliner of Lin Bai's company must have been thoroughly studied by the Americans.
For Germany, propeller planes are a thing of the past, and jet planes are the project that needs to be kept secret.
Rommel's words won the favor of the Iranians present. People like Iran actually value friendship. Germany has maintained friendship with Iran over the years. Although it is ridiculous to talk about friendship between countries, it is about interests. Mainly, Iran remains grateful to Germany.
"Marshal Rommel, regarding the recent action against Baku, we also hope to get your help!" Reza Khan said.
After accepting Germany's proposal, Iran began to prepare for the invasion of Baku, but it has not done so until now.
Let the Turks attract the attention of the Soviets first and transfer all nearby troops to Armenia. This is Princess Ashraf's proposal, which can greatly reduce Iran's losses.
Now let them fight hot first, the more Turks die, the better!
At the same time, Iran is also making preparations. They have formulated perfect tactics. Part of them will start from East Azerbaijan Province, cross the mountains, enter the plains, and advance to Baku. At the same time, they also plan to go directly to the Caspian Sea. Ku Oilfield landed on the beach!
In this way, the safety of the Baku oilfield can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the Soviets will not be given time to react. As long as the situation is not good, the Soviets will definitely blow up the oilfield!
However, they encountered a difficulty, they did not have a suitable landing ship!
The Caspian Sea is an inland sea. There are only a few guards in Iran. The ships are outdated, and the goal of delivering troops cannot be achieved at all. It must be fast!
Although the Germans explicitly let Turkey and Iran do it, they did not participate, but in fact, since there is a relationship, why not use it?
The Germans have accumulated a wealth of experience in cross-sea landing. If you ask the Germans for help, of course, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"We want to pass through the Caspian Sea, and we want to lease some high-speed landing ships from our ally Germany to help us cross the Caspian Sea and quickly achieve the goal of controlling the Baku oil field!" Prince Pahlavi said, at this time, his With longing on his face, this operation, the commander is him!
Germany has a lot of landing ships. They didn't ask Germany to help, but only asked Germany to provide some equipment. This is not a foul, and the Turks can't say anything.
Although the Caspian Sea is an inland sea, many rivers in Iran have been figured out. As long as you think of a way, you can still drive ships.
Rommel shook his head: "No, I don't have this power."
Rommel's subordinates do not include the navy. Those landing ships, Rommel can't mobilize at all, which is beyond his authority.
Hearing this, the Iranians present were suddenly disappointed.
"However, I can help you apply."
