Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Why not throw this issue directly to Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union?" the Foreign Minister suddenly said.

The Foreign Minister's proposal made Pahlavi fall into deep thought.

Throwing the problem to Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union is indeed a bold idea.

On the one hand, as major powers, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have important influence in international affairs.

If Persia had put the issue of the German army's demand for surrender before them, perhaps it would have attracted their attention and intervention.

These major powers may put pressure on the German army for their own interests, thereby gaining a certain buffer space for Persia.

However, on the other hand, there are risks in doing so.

The reactions of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are difficult to predict. They may choose to sit back and do nothing, or put forward conditions that are unfavorable to Persia.

Moreover, throwing the problem to other countries might also make Persia appear weak internationally and lose a certain degree of autonomy.

Pahlavi weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

He needed to take into account Persia's national interests, international relations, and future development.

This decision will have a significant impact on the fate of Persia, and he must make his choice carefully.

In this tense situation, Pahlavi felt tremendous pressure.

He knew that every decision could change the direction of the country, and he had to fully consider various factors and make wise decisions.

"How do you think Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union will react?" asked Pahlavi.

"They will not sit idly by. Apart from anything else, the oil fields that have just been discovered have been confirmed to be real. Once the German army gets these oil fields, I'm afraid they will be invincible." The Foreign Minister saw things very clearly.

He didn't believe that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union would not be tempted by tens of billions of barrels of oil.

Do not!
The Soviet army was already tempted and was even willing to offend Britain and the United States by sending troops south.

It was only because they saw that they were about to engage in a war of attrition that they withdrew their troops.

Now that they have found Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet army will certainly be very tempted and will definitely agree to send troops south to help them resist the German army.

But the price is probably not something they can afford.

As for Britain and the United States, he dared not guarantee it, because Britain and the United States themselves are now stuck in a quagmire.

It is indeed difficult to determine whether China would respond positively and send troops to assist Persia.

Persia was in a dilemma at this time. On the one hand, there was strong pressure from the German army to surrender; on the other hand, there were unknown consequences of asking for help from Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

The existence of the oil field is like a huge bargaining chip, attracting the attention of all parties, but how to use this bargaining chip will be a huge test for Persia.

"What if Britain and the United States remain indifferent? Do they still have the spare energy to send troops to Persia?" After a long time, Pahlavi continued to ask.

"I'm afraid not. According to the information we received, they have already dispatched a troop from ancient China to the Persian Gulf. This shows that they must have run out of tricks." The Foreign Minister spread his hands.

Hearing this, Pahlavi frowned even deeper.

Excluding Britain and the United States, the only countries left are the Soviet Union and Germany.

Either surrender to the German army, or follow the Soviet army closely and become his younger brother.

I'm afraid there's no hope of having the best of both worlds.

Surrendering to the German army means that the fate of the country will be completely in the hands of the German army. This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

Although following the Soviet army might provide protection to a certain extent, China would also lose some autonomy, and future development would be full of uncertainty.

Pahlavi repeatedly weighed these two options in his mind, knowing that each decision would have a profound impact on the future of Persia.

"First, inform Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union about the German army's request for us to surrender and see their reactions. If it is really as we analyzed, then we can make a decision." After a long time, Pahlavi shook his head and thought that it would be better to throw the problem to Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union first to see their reactions.

"Yes."

After all the ministers left, Pahlavi asked his close associates.

"Do you think the Germans can win?"

"There's great hope." The confidant said confidently.

The confidant confidently gave the answer of "great hope", which undoubtedly brought more pressure for Pahlavi to think.

The confidants' judgment may be based on the current war situation, the German military strength and their performance on the battlefield.

However, the outcome of a war is often full of uncertainty, and it is difficult to determine the final outcome based solely on the current situation.

After hearing this answer, Pahlavi may have felt even more conflicted.

If the German army really had a great chance of winning as his confidants said, then surrendering to the German army might be a wiser choice to avoid the country suffering greater damage in the war.

But at the same time, he was also worried about the future of the country after becoming a vassal of the German army.

On the other hand, if they did not surrender to the German army and chose to continue to resist or follow the Soviet army, they would face huge risks and challenges.

"But I always feel that the Allies can win." Pahlavi thought for a while and expressed his opinion.

"In terms of population and industrial strength, the Allied forces far outnumber the Germans."

Pahlavi expressed his belief that the Allies could win, arguing that the Allies far outnumbered the Germans in population and industrial strength.

This view has some rationality. After all, population and industrial strength play an important supporting role in war.

However, the current situation is not optimistic for the Allies.

The German army occupied the entire European continent and its industrial strength was greatly improved, not inferior to that of the Allies.

Moreover, the German army formed a four-nation naval joint fleet, which was as powerful as the Allied forces.

More importantly, the German army had crossed the Suez Canal and headed straight for Persia, bringing tremendous pressure to the Pahlavi.

In this situation, Pahlavi's judgment faced a severe test.

He needed to analyze the direction of the war more deeply and weigh the strength and interests of all parties.

It is a difficult decision to choose to surrender to the German army or to hope for the ultimate victory of the Allies.

"Your Majesty, how about asking Alberts?" The confidant suddenly asked, "The troops stationed in the Persian Gulf should be the colonel's troops."

The proposal from his confidant made Pahlavi think.

Alberts has a good relationship with Colonel Dongfang, and this may be an opportunity that can be exploited.

Asking Alberts about the attitude of the Eastern Forces might provide Pahlavi with some new ideas and references in his difficult decision.

If Alberts could get some valuable information from Colonel Dongfang, or learn about Dongfang's position and possible actions in this war, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to Pahlavi.

However, this is not without risks.

On the one hand, the attitude of the Eastern forces may not be clear or have limited impact on the situation in Persia; on the other hand, over-reliance on the opinions of external forces may also cause Persia to lose its autonomy in decision-making.

"Well, let him ask the Eastern Colonel."

"Yes."

.........

"Alborz is here again?" Cun Yunsheng knew a little about this Persian envoy. He originally thought that he would not come again, but he did not expect him to come again this time. "Why is he here?" Meng Fanle asked in confusion.

"It should be related to Sun Liren's troops arriving in the Persian Gulf, or in other words, it should involve the German army."

Meng Fanle's doubts also reflect that Alberts' arrival is full of uncertainty.

After careful consideration, Cun Yunsheng concluded that Alberts' arrival might be related to the arrival of Sun Liren's troops in the Persian Gulf, or might be related to the German army.

This judgment shows Cun Yunsheng's keen insight into the situation.

The arrival of Sun Liren's troops will inevitably have an impact on the situation in the Persian Gulf region, and the movements of the German army are also an important factor in the current situation.

As a special envoy to Persia, Alberts most likely intended to understand the impact of these changes on Persia, or to seek some kind of cooperation and support.

In this complicated situation, Alberts' arrival adds more suspense and variables to the story.

Cun Yunsheng, Meng Fanle and others need to respond cautiously. Through communication with Alberts, they can understand Persia's intentions and make more wise decisions for their own actions.

"Let's meet first and find out what the other party has to say." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and gave the order.

"Yes."

Not long after, Alberts came to the conference room and met Cun Yunsheng again.

As soon as they met, Albert started to compliment them, which made Cun Yunsheng feel a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Alberts, you and I are so familiar with each other now, there is no need to flatter me like that. Just tell me, what do you want to see me about?" Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Alberts's flattery may have been a strategy to try to get closer to Cun Yunsheng so that he could better make his request or convey some message.

Cun Yunsheng's straightforwardness shows his pragmatism and decisiveness.

The interaction between the two sides is full of tension.

Alberts needed to express his purpose tactfully without causing any offence to Cun Yunsheng.

Cun Yunsheng has to discern the true intention from Alberts' words in order to make an appropriate response.

Next, Alberts’ answer will be the key, which may reveal Persia’s concerns and needs in the current situation, and may also bring new challenges and opportunities to Cun Yunsheng and others.

"General Cun, his Majesty the King is curious about the purpose of the troops stationed in the Persian Gulf?" Alberts took a deep breath and stated his purpose.

really!

Cun Yunsheng immediately understood what was going on.

"Of course, it is to stop the German army from advancing further. After all, the German army's entry into the Middle East has affected the Allied strategy."

Alborz's question reflected Persia's concern and worry about this newly emerging force.

They need to understand the intention of their actions so that they can better respond to possible changes in the situation.

Cun Yunsheng's answer was concise and clear, emphasizing the strategic goals of the troops.

This answer was in the overall interests of the Allies and also sent a clear signal to Persia that this force existed to maintain regional stability and security.

However, this answer may only be a superficial explanation.

At a deeper level, the actions of this force may also involve more political, military and economic factors.

Cun Yunsheng needs to further explain to Alberts the specific actions and plans of the troops in subsequent exchanges to dispel Persia's doubts.

But before that, he needed to be clear about Persia's sincerity.

"I see. What do you think of the German army?" Alberts took a deep breath and continued asking.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and sneered.

"Is your king hesitating whether to surrender to the Germans or choose to join the Allies?"

"Do you still want to continue to be a fence-sitter?"

Cun Yunsheng's reaction showed his insight into Persia's current situation.

He was keenly aware that behind Albert's problems lay Persia's wavering in the war.

This vacillation may stem from a balance of self-interest and uncertainty about the outcome of the war.

However, Cun Yunsheng's ridicule may also cause Alberts to be disgusted.

After all, such words may affect the relationship between the two parties.

But at the same time, it also shows that Cun Yunsheng does not completely agree with Persia's attitude. He may be more inclined to let Persia clarify its position and join the Allied forces.

For Alberts, Cun Yunsheng's response was a challenge.

He needed to respond tactfully to Cun Yunsheng's accusations while conveying Persia's position and considerations.

This may require him to seek consensus and cooperation with Cun Yunsheng while safeguarding Persian interests.

"No, no, no, we just want to know your attitude towards the German army." Alberts shook his head quickly.

Are you taking me for a fool?
Cun Yunsheng sneered in his heart and asked calmly on the surface.

"What's your attitude?"

Hearing this, Alberts was silent for a while, and then gave his own opinion.

"I don't think the Germans can win."

Alberts was silent for a moment before expressing his opinion that the German army could not win.

Cun Yunsheng was not surprised by this. After all, anyone who understood the strength of the Allies would have expectations for them, but they could also see the huge challenges facing the German army.

"Why?" Cun Yunsheng continued to ask.

At this time, Alberts gave his own analysis.

From a broader strategic perspective, the Allies have a strong ability to mobilize resources around the world.

For example, in industrial production, the Allies can use their huge industrial base to produce large quantities of weapons, equipment, supplies, etc.

For example, automobile factories in the United States can quickly switch to producing military equipment such as aircraft and tanks, and the scale and speed of production are astonishing.

In terms of human resources, the Allies had a large population base from which to recruit soldiers.

Moreover, the Allied Forces also include multiple countries, and the armies of these countries can cooperate and fight in coordination with each other.

For example, on the European battlefield, the armies of different countries, such as the British Army and the American Army, were able to unite and give full play to their respective advantages.

In contrast, although the German army occupied large tracts of land on the European continent, its rule required a huge amount of resources to maintain.

Moreover, as the war continued, the German army faced more and more resistance and its front line was stretched too long.

Just like the German army has battlefields in Eastern Europe, North Africa and other places, its troops are dispersed and its supply lines are vulnerable to attacks.

These factors combined made the German situation increasingly difficult, so Alberts believed that it would be difficult for the German army to win.

"Not bad, not bad, very good. It seems that Mr. Alberts is not so mediocre." Cun Yunsheng showed a smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
