"South Asia is just a colony for Germany, and although it can obtain unimaginable benefits, even if it cannot obtain it, it cannot shake the foundation of Germany. But if this problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that the Germans will not be stable in South Asia, after all, compared with the former, the latter can be described as a disaster, I think everyone knows what this thing is, right? Xu Jie pointed to the big country to the west of Germany.

"I'm sure that after gaining Italy, the first thing the Germans will do in the future war is no longer to attack South Asia, but to go back and destroy the old enemy in the west first! The gains from Iran and even all of South Asia are probably not comparable to the destruction of France, which was the last country on the European continent to dare to resist the German army, and the hatred of hundreds of years has made it almost impossible for them to live in peace! There are no two heavens and no two people, and the European continent cannot accommodate two world-class powers! ”

"It can even be said that after the end of World War 1, Germany always wanted to solve France first in the next war, but without solving the problem, Italy could not fully control the Mediterranean, and if it could not control the Mediterranean, it would not be able to bypass the desperate defense line on the eastern border of France. Xu Jie said this, and couldn't help sighing.

France is undoubtedly very important to China and the Entente, and Xu Jie has always worried that France in this plane will be defeated in just a few weeks under the iron heel of the German team, like the historical France. So Xu Jie has always wanted France to avoid the fate of the country, but unfortunately, Xu Jie has arranged a lot for this, but the French are not on the road, as the saying goes, if you don't die, you will die, if you die all day long. Then even God can't save you, let alone Xu Jie, a traverser. After France's refusal to accept Sardinia, Xu Jie finally realized that France's southern gateway had been opened. The French lost their last chance to consolidate their defense! If the war resumes, France may not be able to escape!

The situation is very serious. However, for Xu Jie, a guy who can be described as knocking bones and sucking marrow and cutting gold with a Buddha face in terms of national interests, even if France is going to be defeated, then Xu Jie has to take advantage of it! It is impossible for China to have any ideas in Europe, after all, it is not cost-effective to cross the Pacific and Atlantic to Europe to support the French. By the same token, China had no intention of launching an offensive from India to draw the attention of the Allies, and there was no need for China to shed too much blood for the British colonies, let alone what if it started to make progress. Iran was a barrier for the Allies to attack South Asia, and for the Entente, why not a barrier for the Allies to attack the two river basins? Unable to attack the plains of Mesopotamia, which was vital to the Allies. It is impossible to inflict heavy losses on the opposing army, so what is the use of even capturing some land?

So Xu Jie will not be stupid enough to send a large number of troops into Europe to rescue France at the beginning, nor will he shed blood for his own interests in India, even if he has to shed blood and sacrifice! And sending a large number of troops to protect Iran, on the one hand, is to support its own little brother, on the other hand, it can also play a role in containing Germany, and more importantly, it can directly threaten the oil fields of the two river basins and Transcaucasia.

And if you look at the whole world. It will be found that France's death has invisibly relieved the pressure on China in the Middle East, and the Germans have always been militarily focused on concentrating their forces on one point. Cleanly solve the opponent with a thunderous momentum. And this principle determines that Germany will only have a strategic center of gravity in a period of time, it is impossible to divide the army, Germany does not have this strength, if the Germans are asked to make a choice, whether to choose France or the Middle East, as long as the Germans do not show off their brains, then they will inevitably choose France! So before France was captured, the Germans did not have the ability or guts to completely fall out in the Middle East and China! As long as Huaxia shows a determination to fight to the end, the Germans will not let the current Iranian government go first. After all, as long as China and Iran ceded the westward passage of the Allies, then the basic purpose of the Germans had been achieved. There is no need to fight to the death with Huaxia before the French problem is solved! …

After thinking about this, there is another problem that needs to be solved. That's how long the hatred of France can be pulled for Huaxia when the shield arrives! France is not Italy, but on paper. The two Italians are not the opponents of France, if they fight with real knives and guns, I am afraid that the three Italians will also be in vain! What's more, France is an important member of the Entente, the Central Powers and Italy will do it, and the United States and Britain will at most support it, show their attitude, sharpen their war knives, and add some blockage to the Germans by the way. But if the Allies had attacked France, it would have been different! This is tantamount to a declaration of war against the Entente collective, and once the war starts, there is no way back for either side! The German-led Reichstag did everything in its power. And Britain and the United States will support France at any cost! Compared with Huaxia, Britain and the United States could not afford the consequences of the fall of France, in this case, Xu Jie was happy to watch them fight to the death.

Therefore, even if Germany now has the conditions to attack France, even if Germany can finally defeat France, then the war in France itself will be even more tragic than Italy! Of course, the premise is that the French are single-minded in going to war, and not surrendering as they have done in history. (In fact, in fact, even if France fought so half-heartedly in World War II, Germany still paid a certain price, after all, people are big countries, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.) In the face of the all-in-one war, Germany will certainly prepare carefully, and the Germans will not do anything to the French until the final preparations for a showdown with the Entente. If we don't do anything to France, it will be absolutely impossible to focus on the Middle East, and if there is no decisive force in the Middle East, we will naturally not fight to the end with China in the Middle East and Central Asia!

Then the question arises, since France is so important, and Germany also needs to prepare seriously, why doesn't Germany put the Middle East first, solve France first, and then attack Iran and then attack India? There is also a reason for this, Germany wants to turn Iran into a pedal, but you must know that the army's dependence on logistics is very serious now, and Iran is a country that cannot be directly used in terms of hardware or software. After the occupation of Iran, the Germans needed several years of careful planning to give full play to Iran's role in geography, not to mention, the attitude of the Entente members to Iran was not very firm, and the resistance would not be very great. The Germans' strategy was to turn to South Asia as soon as they defeated France, so Germany had to take Iran as soon as possible before attacking France. At least get the southern coastal zone and the border with South Asia!

As a result, the tragic France was calculated by Xu Jie under the unclear, even if it would be destroyed by Germany in the end, before that, it was used as a shield by Xu Jie, an unscrupulous traverser, when the Allies and the Entente were playing and fighting around France, Xu Jie had enough time to run the Middle East! And when the senior management of Huaxia had insight into Xu Jie's idea, they all extended a thumbs up in their hearts, on the one hand, they expressed their support and recognition of Xu Jie's idea, and on the other hand, they had a new understanding of Xu Jie's lower limit of discipline!

"Fortunately, you are our boss, not the boss of the other party, and getting along with someone like you, even if it is not an enemy but an ally, maybe it will be calculated by you when it will be, but since you are our boss, even if this plan is a little unauthentic, I still have to say that it is powerful enough and level enough!" Afterwards, Peng Yi said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

When these originally isolated things are connected, it can be found that although Xu Jie's plan seems absurd, it does have a high degree of operability. If this plan can be realized, maybe China can really set aside a piece of land for Iran to prepare for a future counteroffensive. However, you still obviously underestimated Xu Jie's lower limit, while calculating the Germans and the French, Xu Jie later calculated the British and the United States by the way when he improved the plan, and the methods used were more open-minded and even more irrefutable! In other words, even if Britain and the United States know that there is a pit ahead, they will finally jump into it under the temptation of huge interests and the coercion of the situation!

Among the Entente countries, France did not care about Iran's life or death at all, and the United States did not care very much. It is impossible for the British to ignore Iran because of the fact that they are dead and cold, and of course, it is still difficult to make the British bleed more. How it works depends on Xu Jie's planning and the international situation. It is not that the British have not communicated with Huaxia on the Iranian issue, and after a period of frequent exchanges, Huaxia finally has a general understanding of the British thinking.

"The British had a good idea, on the one hand, they wanted us to share most of the pressure, and on the other hand, they wanted to hold on to the eastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan as a buffer zone. It's a pity that the idea is very good, but the reality is very cruel. Xu Jie once commented on the British's Iranian strategy. Just like analyzing the strategy and situation of Germany and France before formulating their own plans, if Huaxia allowed Iran to muddy the waters and let the British fall into this pool, then it was necessary to understand what the British wanted and what they would do for this purpose. A new pit man plan is in the works.
