"Ambassador Pan Youxin!"

"I don't think there's any need to talk about it between us! The cooperation between your country and Japan has seriously harmed China's national security, and has also led to Japan's aggression against Asian countries, causing serious consequences of millions of deaths and injuries! However, for the sake of the long-term peace between the two peoples, we have always hoped with the utmost sincerity to resolve the contradictions. But now! Your invasion of the Persian Gulf has seriously harmed our national security! In the "Qingdao Treaty", China has announced to the whole world that the Persian Gulf region has the oil security that China must guarantee, and any threat or attempt to change the peace in the region is unacceptable! Moreover, the oil agreement between China and the Iranian government is also a normal trade agreement recognized by the world! Ignoring world norms, you are trying to stifle the demand of 580 million Chinese for industrial oil, undermine the development of our country, and deprive the people of their right to a better life! An important ally in the invasion of our country! Do you have a minimum moral code for doing this?! ”

In the Beijing Prime Minister's Office in the middle of the night, the lights are bright. In the center of the meeting room, Wang Zhengting, known as the "Prime Minister of the Peace" and the "Prime Minister of the World Expo", loudly rebuked the Soviet ambassador who came to give an ultimatum. All around, the staff and reporters who had heard the news stood quietly, looking at the prime minister and clenching their fists. They were all annoyed by the Soviet Union's backlash, but since the president did not receive a reply outside, they could only control their emotions as much as possible.

Pan Youxin, who is tall and thin and wears glasses, has been in China for many years, and has always felt that Wang Zhengting, who has been hiding in the shadow of Yang Qiu for decades, is bland, but he didn't expect to speak so sharply. But his task has been completed, and there is no need to be reckless, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, my task has been completed, and this is the supreme decision of the Soviets!" Within three days, your ** team must withdraw from the Persian and Afghan regions, otherwise. ”

Before the Soviet ambassador could finish his words, the prime minister's secretary quietly came over and whispered a few words to Wang Zhengting. The latter was immediately shaken. He took a long breath and categorically interrupted, "It's useless to talk more!" Mr. Ambassador. I know your identity, you are a lieutenant general of the GPU (Main Directorate of Political Protection of the USSR)? So there's no need to act here! I would also like to warn the Soviet Government here one last time that your country must immediately withdraw from Iran, and you yourself must leave the country within 12 hours! Otherwise, declare war! ”

was revealed to be a top secret identity all of a sudden, and Soviet Ambassador Pan Youxin suddenly became a little nervous. The GPU (the General Directorate of State Political Security of the Soviet Union) and the Chinese intelligence services have a deep grudge, and the two sides have been fighting to the death for many years. Could it be that he got a call back from Yang Qiu just now? Otherwise, how could he be so bold and open his mouth to declare war? The corners of his mouth curled coldly, and he deliberately tentatively said: "Declaration of war? Can you represent your president? ”

"Nope! I don't represent the president, I represent the oil security of the 580 million Chinese! It is the Chinese nation's pursuit of the right to survive! "The secretary did bring Yang Qiu's reply just now, so Wang Zhengting's waist suddenly stiffened a lot. Don't mind taunting your opponent! Hit hard: "It's you!" Can a spy chief in China represent the Georgian executioner? If you can't, tell him! He likes to clean, and if he likes dictatorship, he will spoil the Soviet Union, and our country will never say a word. But now! Either we fight a war, or your country immediately and completely withdraws from Iran and Afghanistan! ”

Georgian Executioner!

Soviet Ambassador Pan Youxin's face darkened gloomily, you must know that Stalin has always regarded himself as the leader of the proletariat in the whole Soviet Union and even in the whole world, and he is most taboo to mention his birth, and he does not even interfere with the purge affecting his relatives. I just want to get rid of this identity. I don't know how many people have been secretly executed because of his Georgian identity over the years, so the word "Georgia" has always been the most shunned word in the Soviet Union.

Unexpectedly, in Beijing, thousands of miles away, someone unceremoniously picked it out! Look at the two royal reporters next to him, their eyes shining and writing hard. I also know that tomorrow morning Stalin's rule over the majority as a minority will be in every newspaper in China and in the world.

Can't talk about it!

Pan Youxin left in a huff, and he didn't know how much humiliation he would have to suffer if he stayed any longer.

As soon as he left, there was a loud laugh next to him: "Prime Minister, what you said." It can be regarded as completely stripping off the hypocritical cloak of the Soviets. ”

Wang Zhengting turned his head, and when he saw that Gu Weijun came at some point, he shook his head and crooked the corners of his mouth bitterly: "Shaochuan, don't come to chill me." Speak from the heart. I don't know the bottom now, the president is now unsure of his strategy, he is unwilling to form an alliance with any country, and he will carry Japan and the Soviet Union alone, and Britain and the United States will dismantle the stage behind him. Hey, after decades of peace, the country is no longer as good as it was back then, and I am still worried about the people's livelihood and the attitude of the people. His words speak to the minds of most people. After a long period of peace, the majority of the common people are no longer willing to fight. Even within the army there were complaints, and in their opinion, they should immediately resume the front of the last European war with Britain and France, and then fight to Tokyo and Moscow to resolve the war as soon as possible.

No one said these things on the surface, but Wang Zhengting knew about it, and he talked to Yang Qiu in private. So when he saw him pick up a cigarette, Gu Weijun immediately lit a fire for him and said, "Prime Minister, you are in charge of handling civil affairs, I'm afraid I don't know how complicated the situation is in Europe." Jun went abroad for many years, and discussed with several predecessors of Lu Zhengxiang, and he was barely able to analyze one or two. The current situation is that everyone does not dare to have a showdown! So far, apart from Japan and Britain, China and the Soviet Union, there has not been any open hostility. Even Germany maintained relations with Britain and the Soviet Union at the same time. Italy and Britain colluded with each other on the issue of the Turkish Straits and France and the Soviet Union were eye-browning, and even the doors of Japan and our country were not completely closed? Didn't the United States, which is alone overseas, secretly support Japan and the Soviet Union under the pretext of neutrality to reduce exports to us? Last time, we didn't need to think about it, Britain and France were too powerful and had the most benefits, so we had a clear goal from the beginning. But this time it is deep in it, and if there is a premature showdown, except for Japan and the Soviet Union, who can guarantee that no new enemies will jump out? Besides, don't forget about our skin tones. ”

Gu Weijun didn't continue, but Wang Zhengting also knew that the topic was a little heavier. The fact that too many cards have been exposed against the Soviet Union this time, especially the appearance of long-range aircraft, has triggered an upsurge in the construction of air forces and air defense in various countries around the world. If they take the initiative to attack, it will be rumored to be an invasion, and then who can guarantee that Britain and the United States will not openly turn to the Soviet Union and Japan? The Yellow Peril theory is no less popular in Europe and the United States than the rhetoric of the threat of GCISM. Therefore, the Wehrmacht can launch a self-defense counterattack against the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, but it cannot take the initiative to confront the whole world.

Seeing that he was worried, Gu Weijun saw it very openly. smiled: "In fact, it is complicated to say that it is complicated, and it is simple to say that it is simple." Although the president did not say with whom he would ally with him, one thing is clear, fight the USSR! Hit the USSR! Or fight the USSR! ”

In Gu Weijun's eloquent words, the matter of China and the Soviet Union issuing ultimatums to each other was exposed. That "Georgian executioner" completely announced that China and the Soviet Union closed the door! When Stalin learned of this, he was even more furious, and immediately ordered the Persian Front to attack and take all actions to defend the heart of the Caucasus. At the same time, Motolov was removed from the post of member of the Council of People's Commissars and appointed himself personally, which also meant that he, who was already the general secretary and chairman of the Military Commission, occupied the equivalent of the post of prime minister. He thoroughly mastered all the domestic, military, and diplomatic powers of the Soviet Union.

The ultimatum full of gunpowder made the eyes of the whole world begin to converge on the two largest countries in Europe and Asia! Roosevelt pushed off the dinner, Chamberlain had a smile on his face, Inoue Narumi's fleet rushed out of the Uraga waterway, Hitler picked up his pen and signed the order to attack Poland 20 days early, and the Italians greeted the tanker into Taranto with a smile and exchanged piles of ammunition for black blood.

All hypocrisy and political struggles are over, and whoever has stronger muscles will be justified! As the domestic news came, the Saudi Persian Gulf Army immediately began to prepare for a cross-sea landing operation, and the port of O'Aghrère was densely packed with warships.

"Slow down, to the left."

"Keep up."

The ten Tien Shan-class landing ships stand upright, looking like arrows "sticking" into the dock. The bow door has been opened. Sticking out of the long up and down gangplanks, the lighted cabin looks like an open window from the dark pier. One after another, the chariots slowly drove into the cabin, and Ma Sanbiao was standing at the "window". Dressed in undershirts, he personally commanded the work.

Soon after Reza Khan was rescued, a domestic commendation order was sent to the Persian Gulf Theater Command, and Ma Sanbiao was also promoted from second lieutenant to captain. Originally, the training camp was already able to return to China. But the blood of more than a dozen comrades-in-arms in Iran left the whole battalion behind. Brotherhood is one of the foundations of the establishment of the Wehrmacht, so if you don't take back Iran and defeat the Soviet army, you won't be at ease even if you return home. It just so happened that the armored forces of the Persian army group were also insufficient. There were only two armored divisions and a few armored battalions, so Bai Chongxi specially asked the General Staff to expand the training battalion into the 22nd Independent Tank Regiment of the Army and integrate it into the group army, and Ma Sanbiao also jumped from company commander to battalion commander.

Three years ago, the Wehrmacht had 14 armoured divisions, 4 infantry divisions, and 9 separate tank regiments. As the situation has become increasingly tense in recent years, the number of core armored divisions has increased to 20 armored divisions, as well as 6 mechanized infantry divisions, 25 motorized infantry divisions and 22 independent tank regiments. Although the 22nd Regiment was newly formed, it was very strong because of the addition of the training battalion. The regiment has a total of 5 battalions and 3 companies, 2 Type 31 tank battalions, 1 Type 36 tank battalion, 1 self-propelled howitzer battalion, 1 infantry battalion and 1 combat engineer company, 1 self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery company, and 1 armored reconnaissance company. In total, there were 8 LZ33 "Hound" 6*6 wheeled armored vehicles, 4 Type 25 tanks, 64 Type 31 tanks, 32 Type 36 main battle tanks, 4 half-track twin 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 self-propelled 105-mm cannon howitzers, 9 60-mm mortars, 12 12.7-mm heavy machine guns, 52 H32 Ripped Cloth general-purpose machine guns and more than 80 motorcycles, jeeps and trucks.

With 100 tanks, it's no wonder that Ma Sanbiao's mouth can't be closed. Especially the Type 36 tank that was on board made his eyes red. As the world's first main battle tank, this type of tank template is derived from the later 59 main battle tanks. It began to be developed in 1923 and took shape in 1928, but due to the delay in the breakthrough of the transverse technology of the diesel engine, it was delayed until the end of 36 years. The total weight is 35.5 tons, the transverse 520 hp V12 diesel engine with turbo charging, the Hanyang 5 series universal torsion bar suspension chassis, 60% of the spare parts are interchangeable with the Type 31 tank, the inclined armor, the gun mount is enlarged, the turret basket is installed, the air pressure automatic fire extinguisher is installed, and the commander and gunner double periscopes. The turret is no longer a tortoise shell, but resembles the turret of the French AMX30 tank, with the front hemisphere cast, the rear hemisphere welded, and a tail bomb bay added.

Although more troublesome than pure casting. The process and processing time are long, but the tail compartment bomb frame allows the tank gun to react faster.

The reason why the 59 tank was adopted was not because of how good it was, but because Yang Qiu was motivated by comprehensive considerations. First of all, Hanyang uses the Type 591 chassis, which has undergone dozens of modifications, is mature and has a low failure rate. The second is because the 59 technology is derived from the Soviet T54, and who else is more familiar with their own terrain than the Soviet Union? If there is any regret, it is that although there are drawings for the supporting L7 tank gun, it cannot be solved due to metallurgical and other processes, so it can only use the 85 mm / L56 rifled cannon made in Zhengzhou first.

After a lot of experiments, technicians discovered. In order to enhance the armor-piercing ability under the existing art, it is necessary to either lengthen the body tube or strengthen the chamber pressure. Lengthening the barrel will result in a significant increase in manufacturing cost time, and increased bore pressure will result in severe barrel burning. At present, the domestic technical level can make 67 times the barrel, but the scrap rate and cost are too high, so the technicians chose the latter. Based on the same caliber anti-aircraft guns of the Navy, the strength of the barrel is strengthened by using technologies such as electroslag remelting and self-tightening of the barrel, and at the same time, the 85 mm projectile is equipped with a 105 mm grenade cartridge to increase the muzzle kinetic energy by 25%. Although it led to a decrease in the life of the gun, the power was very satisfied. When using an ordinary carbide steel hood armor-piercing projectile. It can penetrate 128 mm/30 degrees of armor from 1000 yards away, and 1000 yards of 185 mm/30 degrees with high-speed tungsten bullets.

A Tien Shan-class landing ship can carry 16 Type 36 tanks, or 20 Type 31 tanks, or 1,100 soldiers and 2 personnel landing craft, and 10 can just take away all the personnel and equipment of the independent regiment except for trucks. Originally, O'Gear also had two specially left ro-ro wheels, but the ro-ro wheels had high requirements for the dock. Only the port of Abadan, already controlled by Soviet troops, off the coast of Iran can be loaded and unloaded.

"Sanbiao, how long will it take?"

"Report to the regiment commander, there are only three battalions left." Ma Sanbiao fanned the wind vigorously with his sweatshirt open, for him, a northerner. Even after staying for most of the year, I still feel uncomfortable. Recently, three or four thousand people in the group army fell ill due to water and soil adaptation, but fortunately, they were well prepared, and only two people died. OK. The Soviets could not find a way to attack across the Gulf, because Reza Khan had ordered all Iranian ships to come to Saudi Arabia before leaving. Moreover, although the main force of the 22nd Fleet went to the sea off Muscat for fear of gaps, there was still one cruiser, three destroyers and more than a dozen frigates in the bay, and all the troops had enough time to adapt to the environment.

Li Jin stuffed a bottle of iced Pepsi Cola to Ma Sanbiao: "Here, chilled." ”

Islam does not drink alcohol, and although there is beer in the base, the command still advises everyone to drink less, so cold Coke becomes the most popular thing. Speaking of this kind of coke, it is quite interesting, in 1929 the economic crisis led to the Great Depression in all walks of life in the United States, and a factory producing soda in Shanghai did not know whether it was a wise person or a foolish man, and bought the then bankrupt Pepsi-Cola Company and all the formulas at a sky-high price of 2.9 million US dollars, and moved back to Shanghai with more than 100 American technicians.

The business was a sensation in the United States at the time, and many people in China ridiculed a soda factory for not being worth that much money. But I didn't expect that in just a few years, Pepsi became the largest soda factory in Asia, with more than a dozen branches opened, and the American Coca-Cola Company was squeezed out of the Chinese market.

Although Japan controls the Malacca and Sunda Straits for various reasons, after flying the flag of a neutral country, there is no need for Japan to turn around after two or three ships once in a while, so it is still possible to drink freely. Ma Sanbiao finished it in one gulp, and after burping very coolly, he looked up at the sky: "Damn." These Saudis are really not authentic, taking billions of loans from us, but restricting this and that! I don't want to think about it, if we weren't here, the Soviet army would have killed it eight lifetimes earlier. ”

Ma Sanbiao's indignant appearance made Li Jin cry and laugh, the contradiction between Arabia and Persia has lasted for thousands of years, and it would be strange if Saudi Arabia took the initiative to save Iran. But then again, this cannot be blamed for the incompetence of the Soviet army. Without sea support, the ground attack had to first cross the British troops stationed in Basra and Kuwait. Although Britain pulled the shelf, Kuwait and Iraq were important, so the Soviet top brass had not yet made up its mind.

But even if there is a stalemate, they must be prepared. The 22nd Separate Panzer Regiment was the first landing force, so tanks and equipment needed to be loaded onto the ship so that they could set off as soon as the order was given. "Don't be verbose, load the ship first, there will always be, woo woo!" As soon as Li Jin wanted to say that there was a way, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded in his ears!

"Soviet bombers are coming!"

"Hurry up, get on the gun position!"

"The target location is 167 kilometers northwest and contact is expected in 25 minutes! Ammo ready for battle! "The piercing sound of air raid sirens is like a heavy hammer. Smashing the harbor that was quiet just now to pieces. Countless soldiers rushed out of their bunkers, 105 mm, 85 mm anti-aircraft guns, 40 mm, 25 mm, searchlights, etc., quickly turned to the target position. The airfields around Hofuf exploded even more, and the pilots rushed into the prepared fighters at the fastest speed, and in less than five minutes, the first batch of 12 Thunderbolt fighters that had just arrived from China had already rushed into the sky.

"Hurry up, hide first! The full ones go first! ”

Ma Sanbiao, who was nagging about why the Soviet army didn't come on the dock just now, immediately beckoned everyone to hide in the bunker, looked at the sky and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Haha, Lao Tzu's luck is really good, someone sent a pillow just when he was about to sleep!" Fuck, these Soviets are really the same as Stabeard, yin! It's clear that he wants to cover up at night. Then rush to the void a second before sunrise for us. ”

He guessed correctly, and when Stalin learned that Wang Zhengting scolded him as a "Georgian executioner", he immediately ordered the Persian Front to attack. But just as Li Jin said, Kuwait was blocked, the Soviet army could not find an offensive route for a long time, and Stalin did not approve the telegram of whether the British army could be attacked, so Konev did not know what to do. Finally, at the suggestion of Alexander Novikov, it was decided to dispatch 20 HE111 bombers, 12 TB3 bombers, and 28 P88 bombers to bomb the Ghawar oil field and the Hufuv oil refinery, so as to not only fulfill the general secretary's order to attack immediately. It can also disrupt the enemy's oil supply.

Novikov was the best tactical commander of the Air Force in the Soviet Army, and from the first Afghan war, he studied very carefully the use of the Air Force, including the Spanish Civil War, the Second Afghan War. After years of research, he came up with a tactic of using night raids to overcome weaknesses in equipment. But there are also requirements for night raids. First it is necessary to take off at a distant airfield to avoid detection, and then target positioning is required. But Saudi Arabia is not Europe, and even if it thrived as the richest country in Arabia after its founding, there were not many city lights to orient pilots. So the staff officers finally figured out how to arrive and bomb just before dawn. In order to prevent interception on the return flight, 12 BF109s and 26 I16s were also sent to escort the escort.

But there is one thing he doesn't know, the Chinese defense forces have begun to install second-generation radars.

The Xiangjiang River light cruiser in the center of the bay with two Qinling-class destroyers began to turn their guns. The Hawkeye-to-air radar on the mainmast rotated in circles. In the radar fire control cabin under the command tower, Lei Bao crossed his equipment bag and stared carefully at the red dot that was gradually approaching on the flat display.

The Wehrmacht began to study radio detection technology very early, and after the launch of Project 3010, it gradually became regular. After nine years of development and key enhancement of the data machine, the installation of the second generation of air, sea and artillery fire control radars has begun. The new electronic technology has increased the trouble-free time of the radar several times compared with the first generation, taking the Eagle Eye as an example, the trouble-free working time has increased from the initial less than ten hours to 47 hours, and the high-altitude aircraft group at a distance of 157 kilometers can be found, and the detection distance of the medium-altitude single aircraft is 78 kilometers, and the low-altitude aircraft is 43 kilometers.

Next to the radar console is a fire control mechanical computer, which calculates the data detected by the radar. When the red dot is close to the midpoint, the fire control team also calculates the distance, speed and other data. "The height is 6,312 meters, the speed is 210 kilometers, and the wind direction is fired!" With a loud shout from the air defense command post on Houship Island, the calm of the Persian Gulf was completely broken!

"Boom, boom."

The Navy's 120 mm/L56 high-level dual-purpose guns are fully automatic loading, with 1522 rounds per minute, muzzle velocity of 834 m/s, a maximum range of 15 km, and a maximum range of 11,337 meters against the air. The Xiangjiang has 6 double doors, one in the front and one in the front, and two on the left and right. The Qinling-class destroyers also have three twin guns of the same type arranged in the front two and one in the back. The power of three warships firing at full speed at the same time was amazing, and in just one minute, 367 shells had already exploded in the Soviet fleet! …… (To be continued.) )
