China increases its troops to Saudi Arabia! 515 warplanes flew over Muscat! In one day, Hufufu increased his troops by 13,000!

The atmosphere in the Persian Gulf became more and more tense with the warhawks coming from afar. The intense atmosphere of the imminent war stirred up the Persian Gulf. While the Soviet army swept through Iran, the Soviet government ignored the concerns of world opinion and the Persian Gulf states. If they could still rely on the vast depth before and not worry too much about the attack from the east, then as they moved south, after provoking China to increase troops in the Persian Gulf, Yang Qiu was able to insert a knife in the Caucasus waist ribs in the open.

The unimaginable sea of long-range aircraft has made the Kremlin anxious. "What about the British? Didn't they say that neutrality would be observed? Why are they still letting their planes fly over India?! At the military meeting of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, Stalin slapped the table vigorously, frightening many generals from speaking.

Stalin was furious, according to his previous ideas, after taking Iran, he could take advantage of the opportunity of Britain to need the Soviet Union to negotiate, as long as Britain remained neutral and forbade the passage of the squadron, plus the blockade of Japan, the road for China to increase troops in the Persian Gulf would be cut off. Even if it can be transferred by plane, it is only two or three thousand per day, which is completely incomparable with the Soviet army that controls the Iranian railway.

But he didn't expect it, it should be said that the whole world didn't expect that Yang Qiu still had a hidden hand. It was only when the Ukrainian long-range transport planes and bombers crossed over India, and in one day that Hofuf's total strength increased from a few regiments to two divisions, and he realized for the first time that he had made a mistake.

This increase in troops has exceeded anyone's imagination! After all, in the past, in addition to the Soviet Union, which shouted about war every day, had more than 14,000 old-fashioned aircraft, even the United States, which has the most developed aviation industry in the West, only had more than 300 transport planes capable of long-range delivery, and Germany, which had been armed early, only had a few hundred JU52s at its disposal. So the world would never have imagined that there would be a person who would start preparing for the World Expo five years ago. It has secretly manufactured more than 30,000 aircraft of various types, and is also equipped with several thousand medium- and long-range transport planes that have a very poor consumption ratio in the eyes of various countries.

Of course, this kind of early reserve is very costly, in addition to the irreplaceable trainer and the secrecy of the transport plane, more than 8,000 snakes and strong winds are facing elimination, and the price is very painful for Yang Qiu. Fortunately, the technical part fully tapped the potential and began to gradually transform the snake into a ground attack aircraft, and the Lifeng was also gradually eliminated to the island defense and reserve units of various navies as a second-line force. But if you let him choose again. He will still do this, because this batch of aircraft has helped him maintain a team of more than 150,000 pilots and 500,000 ground service soldiers when the development of domestic aviation clubs is not as good as that of Europe and the United States, and the proportion of mechanical personnel is low.

Although it is impossible for transport aircraft to be so dense every day, even minus the maintenance and travel time. At most, the number of Chinese defense forces in the Persian Gulf will exceed 100,000 in a month. Of course, no matter how powerful air transport is, it can't compare to the Soviet army with a railway, but the sharpness it brings makes people very nervous. What's more, a large number of bombers arrived, plus planes brought by the previous sea. On the territory of Saudi Arabia, across the Persian Gulf, there are already more than a thousand combat aircraft.

And even if the Soviets count the Iranian planes they have grabbed, there are only more than 500 in the Persian Gulf, not counting the technological gap. So can Britain remain neutral. It is particularly important not to allow China to fly over India. But the answer is terrible. Motorov did not dare to deceive Stalin either, his eyes flickered a little: "General Secretary, Britain said that they would not let China cross the border by land. But there was no way to stop the plane from passing by. They also demanded that we immediately withdraw from Ahvaz and Iran, and stop the appropriation of Anglo-Iranian oil. ”

"This is connivance. It was a deliberate attempt to strangle our Soviets! General Secretary, it is necessary to continue to increase the number of troops to Iran and send aviation divisions across the bay to attack the enemy. Voroshilov raised his voice. He has been very proud lately, because everyone has been criticizing him for his lack of ability and being a watchdog, but this time he personally commanded the Iranian operation, which made him very powerful, and he spoke with full anger.

Shaposhnikov looked at him and secretly worried. After the defeat from Afghanistan, his dream of being a marshal came to an end, so he acted with a lot of caution. As a front-line general, he was aware of the opponent's superiority in the sky, and cautiously reminded: "General Secretary, although our aviation has 14,000 aircraft, there are only 3,000 new aircraft, and Germany has only delivered 500 BF109 and 200 HE111s, and 300 HE111s have not arrived. Many of the new aircraft have only just begun to be experimented, and the number of bombers such as the PE-8 and SB-2/3 is limited. If the aviation division is used to attack on its own initiative, it will be necessary to cross the bay. The Chinese Navy has 2 aircraft carriers near the Persian Gulf and will be intercepted. ”

Shaposhnikov failed to convince Stalin, and his face grew colder and colder. After realizing that the aircraft was inferior to his opponent in Afghanistan, he strictly ordered to strengthen the development of new aircraft, and also signed a secret agreement with Germany to purchase 1,000 new fighters, but to this day the technical department still has not been able to make a good aircraft, which makes him extremely angry. His eyes swept around and stopped at Beria, who was in charge of technical production, and the latter shuddered violently.

Stalin looked at it for a while, then slowly twisted away, looked at several officers in charge of logistics and military equipment procurement, and expressed his dissatisfaction and anger at the construction of aviation in his shuddering tone: "I want to know how you guys work on earth?!" You are playing a vile joke on our Motherland and the fighters of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army! Until now, you have not developed an aircraft to defeat the enemy! Do you have to wait for Tbilisi to tremble under the enemy's wing?! You are making a serious mistake, and you will pay for it. I remind you that the patience of the Government is limited, and this is the last warning to your work. ”

The officers shivered, and even Beria shivered. It is well known that Stalin would return to his hometown every three years to pay respects, which shows that he attached great importance to his hometown. If China takes back Iran and bombs the Caucasus from here, it is estimated that half of the people here will be court-martialed.

But Beria, who is in charge of the aviation project, also has a hard time to say. You must know that after the arrival of the German plane, he organized the best technicians to map and copy the BF109 and HE111, and even the imprisoned Tupolev and other criminals were mobilized. But the refined BD engine of Mercedes was too difficult for the Soviet industrial capacity, and the HE111, although a sample had already been produced, was also stuck in the organization of production and the unfamiliarity of the workers.

Of course, this great imitation also brought a great help to the technological progress of Soviet aviation. Many new aircraft, such as the MiG-3, Lager-3, and Il-2, have already entered test flights, but it will take time to get from test flights to equipment.

Time! Time, it takes time!

But now there is no time, and the speed of China's air increase is too fast. What's worse is that this war, unlike Afghanistan, touches the bottom line of China's oil security, so a full-scale declaration of war on China cannot be avoided.

"General Secretary, I do not agree with the words of General Shaposhnikov, I think that aviation can still slow down the enemy. Buying time for mobilization. Just then, a voice rang out from the back row. Stalin looked up and saw that it was Alexander Novikov, Chief of Staff of the Leningrad Military District, Commander of the Aviation of the Military District.

Stalin knew him, and a few years ago if it had not been for the collective letter to him from the Sixth Flying Brigade under his command. It's still making trouble for myself, I'm afraid I'm dead. I heard that he was very interested in the Air Force, so Stalin's face softened a lot: "Comrade Novikov, if you have an idea, just say it bluntly, now the Motherland needs each of us to do our best." ”

Novikov was also not polite, stood up and said: "General Secretary, the aviation forces are different from the army. Even if the probability of being detected is high. But no one can guarantee that everything is foolproof. The Persian Gulf is more than 200 kilometers wide and more than 800 kilometers long, and it is impossible for the enemy to spread aircraft along the entire coastline. And the Chinese dare to put so many planes here, a large part because Saudi Arabia is an oil country. The large amount of fuel required by the aviation can be replenished on the spot, so that the saved transport tonnage can bring more weapons and ammunition. So, I think aviation should be dispatched and capable bombers should be organized to bomb refineries and airfields. Destruction of these facilities. Even if our technology is inferior to theirs, as long as the sabotage succeeds a few times. It can also contain a large number of troops. ”

"But I'm afraid this will lead to a full-scale war, right?"

Just someone questioned, Budyonny, who has two big beards and has always been unaccustomed to small fights, became angry: "The Chinese are approaching step by step, Britain, France and the United States are helping them openly and secretly, how long will we hide?!" My opinion is, since you can't dodge, let's fight! Our cavalry army has no opponents to fear! General Secretary, let Novikov, the kid, go and command the aviation division to harass them, and my cavalry can go from Ahvaz, make a detour from Kuwait, and then rush in and capture Ibn Saud! Smash their planes! ”

Who is Budyonny? Marshal of the Soviet Union! The number one fiery general in the Soviet army. There were also a group of people such as Timoshenko and Zhukov, and the cavalry army was a great iron army that fought from the civil war. What's more, there is a whole Cossack nation behind him, so even Stalin usually gave him a few points, and now he stands up and takes the initiative to start a war, who dares to refute it?

Stalin really didn't want to go around in circles anymore, judging from the intelligence, Yang Qiu had already begun to mobilize, and a day later was to let the enemy prepare for one more day. And since the purge and preparation of previous years was too early, and the domestic economy has reached its limit, since the European direction has reached an agreement with Germany, it is better to defeat China sooner, in case there is still time to return to the European changes.

So he thought about it and slowly stood up.

All eyes gathered at once!

"Comrades, everyone has heard the words of Marshal Budyonny! I also know what the great Soviet Motherland is about to face after the loss of Iran. We, the Soviets, have not been afraid of war since they were founded! Now that the country is strong, we should not be afraid of imperialist aggression! China, the nouveau riche born by the European war, those yellow peril nations as hateful as maggots, instigated by the imperialists of Britain and France, once robbed our machines and slaughtered our people in the most difficult period of the Soviets, and also used the hypocritical "Shanghai Communiqué" to cut off the territory that belonged to us! These sins can never be forgiven! They have amassed millions of troops in the east of our country, coerced Afghanistan and India to join them, wantonly spread rumors and sabotage in Central Asia, and now! And the black hand into the hinterland of our Soviets!

Must fight back! With our blood and lives to preserve the territorial integrity of the great Soviet Fatherland. I can tell you responsibly that we will soon be able to solve the crisis in Europe, so the fighter plane has arrived! Anglo-French imperialism has declined, and the United States cannot cross the ocean! Our eastern ally, Japan, has already cut off the straits, and no matter how many planes they have, they can't compare to the railways! No matter how powerful the bombs are, they can't compare to our artillery! Their tanks, in front of our newest heavy tanks, are as fragile as planks! Therefore, we must seize this golden opportunity and fire the first shot to liberate all mankind! Blow up enemy fortresses with artillery and pick open their intestines with bayonets! Let the proletarian workers and peasants of the whole world see the strength of our Soviets and lead the worldwide revolutionary wave with our sacrifices! ”

"Senior commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army! Are you ready? ”
