Chapter 923: How are the German troops doing in our positions?

"Even if we want to support the British army in the war against Germany, we need to wait for a telegram for help from William Joseph Slim, the current commander-in-chief of the British army, or a telephone call! Otherwise, if we rush out to assist them in the war against Germany, not only will we not gain the gratitude of the other side, but we will not even gain any benefit! ”

"Remember that we and the British army also have a dispute with their interests in Iran, so we can't give each other reinforcements for nothing!"

"And we now need the assistance of other troops to fight the Germans, and our reserve forces will be fighting less and less!"

After glancing at Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, who did not know how to respond to his question, Novikov said in a slightly calmer tone.

"Yes! Commander! ”

After seeing that the other party gave him some face and went down the steps, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, hurriedly responded.

"Are our air reinforcements coming? Did the leaders of Stalin give us the air reinforcements we needed? ”

After seeing the other party's awe, Novikov hurriedly changed the topic.

For him, gaining air supremacy in Iran and Iraq was the most important thing, and when everything else came to Iran as commander-in-chief, he personally negotiated with Stalin, demanding that the other side must provide sufficient air support.

Of course, since Iran was relatively far away from the Soviet mainland, they transported a large number of planes to Iran in advance through the railway line for deployment operations to deal with German air raids.

It's just that even he didn't expect that the German army led by Guderian was so fast and invincible that the British and Iranian troops almost fled.

If Churchill had not parachuted William Joseph Slim into the air as commander-in-chief, I am afraid that he would not have been Guderian's opponent if he had only relied on the original British army commanded by Lieutenant General Quinan and Sir Auchinleck and Sir Wilson, commander-in-chief of the Indian armed forces.

"Stalin's leader has not yet sent a telegram, but soon after he was attacked by the Germans in Iran, he quickly dispatched a group of experienced pilots to us with the new planes they piloted!"

In response to Novikov's repeated jumpy questioning, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, was a little speechless and responded.

Because Novikov's question just now should not be asked of the reconnaissance commander on the battlefield, but should be asked of the officers and personnel of the intelligence service or the communications office.

Even if he himself had a private exchange and communication with Stalin, in short, it had nothing to do with him, a petty officer who was only in charge of the front-line troops.

If it weren't for the fact that his brother was a communications officer in the communications office, he would not have known how to answer Novikov's questioning.

"Your potential is good, and you even got me to scout about it! It seems that I am not wrong, promoting you to the commander-in-chief of the reconnaissance team is one of the best decisions I have made, I just like capable military talents like you! ”

After seeing that Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, was able to quickly answer his questions, Novikov was also very satisfied with the emperor softening his tone, and said with a smile of appreciation.

Seeing this, Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, put down his heart, and >, "So now you tell me, how is the battle situation of the German troops in our positions?" And what is the current situation of our troops? ”

However, Novikov's gentle questioning instantly scared the heart of Alexey, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet reconnaissance unit, and made him feel terrified.
