    "Ambassador Pan Youxin!"

    "I think there is no need to talk any more between us! The cooperation between your country and Japan has seriously harmed our country's national security, and has also led Japan to invade Asian countries, causing serious consequences of millions of casualties! But for the sake of the two countries  People's long-term peace, we have always hoped with the greatest sincerity to resolve conflicts. But now! Your invasion of the Persian Gulf has seriously harmed our country's national security! In the "Qingdao Treaty", our country has announced to the world that there are  Our country must ensure oil security, and any behavior that threatens or attempts to change the peace in the region is unacceptable! Moreover, the oil agreement reached between our country and the Iranian government is also a normal trade agreement recognized by the world! You ignore world norms and attempt to strangle  The 580 million Chinese people's demand for industrial oil is destroying our country's development and depriving the people of their right to a better life! You are openly invading an important ally of our country! Do you still have the basic moral principles to do this?!"

    Late at night, the lights are brightly lit inside the Prime Minister¡¯s Office in Beijing.  In the center of the living room, Wang Zhengting, known as the "Prime Minister of Taiping" and "Prime Minister of the World Expo", loudly rebuked the Soviet ambassador who came to issue an ultimatum.  All around, the staff and reporters who came after hearing the news stood quietly, looking at the Prime Minister and clenching their fists.  They were all furious at the Soviet Union's defeat, but since the president did not receive a reply while away, 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. He always thought that Wang Zhengting, who had been hiding in the shadow of Yang Qiu for decades, was ordinary, but he did not expect that he could speak so sharply.  But his mission has been completed, and there is no need to show off his rhetoric. He said calmly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, my mission has been completed. This is the highest decision of the Soviet Union! Within three days, your army must withdraw from Persia and Afghanistan.  ,otherwise."

    Before the Soviet ambassador finished speaking, the Prime Minister¡¯s Secretary quietly came over and whispered a few words to Wang Zhengting.  The latter immediately became energetic.  He took a long breath and interrupted decisively: "It's useless to talk more! Mr. Ambassador, I know your identity. Are you a lieutenant general of the GPU (State Political Security Service of the Soviet Union)? So there is no need to act here! I also  Here is a final warning to the Soviet government: your country must withdraw from Iran immediately, and you must leave the country within 12 hours! Otherwise, declare war!"

    The top-secret identity was suddenly revealed, and Soviet Ambassador Pan Youxin became a little nervous.  The GPU (the Soviet State Political Security Service) and the Chinese intelligence service have deep grievances. The two sides have been fighting to the death over the years.  Did he just get a call back from Yang Qiu?  Otherwise, why would you be so bold in declaring war?  He raised the corners of his lips coldly and deliberately tried: "Declare war? Can you represent your president?"

    "No! I do not represent the president, I represent the oil security of the 580 million Chinese people! It is the right of the Chinese nation to pursue development and survive!" The secretary did bring Yang Qiu's reply just now, so Wang Zhengting's waist  It suddenly became much harder.  Don¡¯t mind taunting your opponent!  He hit hard: "On the contrary, it's you! Can a spy chief in China represent the Georgian executioner? If not, please tell him! He likes to clean up and destroy the Soviet Union if he likes dictatorship. Our country will never say more  Half a word. But now! Either we fight a war, or your country withdraws from Iran and Afghanistan immediately and completely!"

    The Georgian Executioner!

    Soviet Ambassador Pan Youxin¡¯s face turned gloomy. You must know that Stalin always regarded himself as the leader of the proletariat of the entire Soviet Union and the world. He was most taboo about others mentioning his birth. He did not even interfere with his relatives when the Great Purge affected him.  I just want to put aside this identity.  Over the years, countless people have been secretly executed because of their Georgian identity, so the word "Georgia" has always been the most taboo word in the Soviet Union.

    ¡°Unexpectedly, thousands of miles away in Beijing, someone would point it out unceremoniously!  Look at the two royal reporters next to them, their eyes shining as they write furiously.  I also know that tomorrow morning the story of Stalin ruling the majority as a minority will be published in every newspaper in China and even the world.

    There¡¯s no way to talk!

    Pan Youxin left in anger, and he didn't know how humiliated he would be if he stayed any longer.

    As soon as he left, there was loud laughter next to him: "Prime Minister, your words have completely stripped away the Soviet people's coat of hypocrisy."

    Wang Zhengting turned his head and saw that Gu Weijun had arrived at some unknown time. He shook his head and twisted his lips bitterly: "Shaochuan, please don't insult me. I'll tell you the truth. I have no idea now. The president's strategy is unclear and he doesn't want to cooperate with anyone."  The two countries formed an alliance to support Japan and the Soviet Union alone, while Britain and the United States were trying to undermine them. After decades of peace, the country is no longer what it was then. What I am still worried about is the people's livelihood and the attitude of the people." His words represent the majority of people.  thoughts.  The years of peace have gone on for a long time, and most people are no longer willing to fight.  Even within the army there are complaints. In their view, they should immediately resume the front line of the last European war with Britain and France.?Then hit Tokyo and Moscow happily and resolve the war as soon as possible.

    No one said anything about these things openly, but Wang Zhengting knew about it and even talked to Yang Qiu in private.  So when he saw him picking up a cigarette, Gu Weijun immediately lit it for him and said: "Prime Minister, you are responsible for handling civil affairs. I'm afraid you don't know how complicated the situation in Europe is."  The seniors discussed in many ways before they could barely analyze one or two. The current situation is that no one dares to show their cards! So far, except for Japan and Britain, us and the Soviet Union, no country has been openly hostile. Even if Germany still maintains relations with Britain and the Soviet Union at the same time,  relations. Italy and the United Kingdom colluded with each other on the Turkish Strait issue, France and the Soviet Union flirted with each other, and didn¡¯t the door between Japan and our country completely close? The United States, which is alone overseas, did not reduce exports to us under the pretext of neutrality and secretly supported Japan and the Soviet Union.  Is it? We didn¡¯t need to think too much last time. Britain and France were too powerful and had the most benefits, so they had a clear goal from the beginning. But this time we are deeply involved. If there is a premature showdown, who can guarantee that it will not happen except Japan and the Soviet Union?  New enemies pop up? Besides, don¡¯t forget our skin color.¡±

    Gu Weijun did not continue, but Wang Zhengting also knew that this topic was a bit heavy.  Too many trump cards were exposed against the Soviet Union this time, especially the emergence of long-range aircraft, which has triggered an upsurge in countries around the world to strengthen air force and air defense construction.  If they take the initiative to attack, they will be rumored as aggression. Who can guarantee that Britain and the United States will not openly turn to the Soviet Union and Japan in the future?  The Yellow Peril theory is no less popular in Europe and the United States than the threat of gcism.  Therefore, the National Defense Forces can launch self-defense counterattacks against the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, but they cannot take the initiative to confront the entire world.

    Seeing his frown, Gu Weijun was very open-minded.  He smiled and said: "Actually, it's complicated to say it, but it's simple to say it's simple. Although the president didn't say who he would ally with, one thing is clear. Fight the Soviet Union! Fight the Soviet Union! Fight the Soviet Union!"

    In Gu Weijun¡¯s powerful words, the matter of China and the Soviet Union issuing ultimatums to each other was exposed.  The phrase "Georgian executioner" completely announced that China and the Soviet Union had closed the door!  Stalin was furious when he learned about it and immediately ordered the Persian front army to attack and take all actions to defend the hinterland of the Caucasus.  At the same time, Motolov was also removed from his position as a member of the People's Committee and took up the post himself. This also meant that he had occupied the position equivalent to the prime minister after he was already the general secretary and chairman of the Military Commission.  Completely mastered all internal, military and diplomatic powers of the Soviet Union.

    The explosive ultimatum made the world's attention begin to focus on the two countries with the largest territories in Europe and Asia!  Roosevelt turned down the dinner, a smile appeared on Chamberlain's face, Inoue Narumi's fleet rushed out of the Uraga Channel, Hitler picked up a pen and signed the order to attack Poland 20 days in advance, and the Italians welcomed the oil tanker into Taranto with a smile on their face.  Piles and piles of ammo in exchange for black blood.

    All hypocrisy and political struggle are over, whoever has stronger muscles will be justified!  As domestic news came, the Saudi Arabian Persian Gulf Army immediately began preparing for a cross-sea landing operation, and warships were densely packed in Oqair Port.

    "Slow down, turn left."

    "Follow me."

    The ten Tianshan-class landing ships have vertical hulls and look like arrows "embedded" at the dock.  The bow hatch has been opened.  Stretching out the long gangplank, looking from the dark dock, the lighted cabin looks like a bright window.  One chariot after another slowly entered the cabin, and Ma Sanbiao was standing at the "window".  Wearing sweatshirts and personally directing the work.

    Soon after rescuing Reza Khan, a domestic commendation order was sent to the Persian Gulf Theater Command, and Ma Sanbiao was promoted from second lieutenant to captain.  It was originally possible to return to the country from the training camp.  But the bloodshed of more than a dozen comrades in Iran made the entire battalion stay.  Brotherhood is one of the foundations of the establishment of the National Defense Forces, so if we don't take back Iran and defeat the Soviet army, everyone will not feel at ease even if they return home.  It just so happened that the Persian Army also had insufficient armor.  There were only two armored divisions and a few armored battalions, so Bai Chongxi specifically asked the General Staff for instructions to expand the teaching battalion into the Army's 22nd Independent Tank Regiment and incorporated it into the group army. Ma Sanbiao also jumped from company commander to battalion commander.

    Three years ago, the National Defense Forces had 14 armored divisions, 4 infantry divisions, and 9 independent tank regiments.  As the situation has become increasingly tense in recent years, the number of core armored divisions has increased to 20, as well as 6 mechanized infantry divisions, 25 motorized infantry divisions and 22 independent tank regiments.  Although the 22nd Regiment was newly formed, it is very strong due to the addition of the training camp.  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,  1 Armored Reconnaissance Company.  There are a total of 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 25mm anti-aircraft guns, and 12 self-propelled tanks.  105mm cannon howitzers, 9 60mm mortars, 12 12.7mm heavy machine guns, 52 H32 general-purpose machine guns and more than 80 motorcycles, jeeps and trucks.

    ?There are a full 100 tanks. No wonder Ma Sanbiao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.  Especially the Type 36 tank that was getting on the ship made his eyes red.  As the world's first main battle tank, this tank's template is derived from the 59 main battle tank of later generations.  Development began in 1923 and took initial shape in 1928. However, due to the inability to break through in transverse diesel engine technology, it was delayed until the end of 1936.  It has a total weight of 35.5 tons, a transverse 520-horsepower turbocharged V12 diesel engine, and a Hanyang Series 5 universal torsion bar suspension chassis. Sixty percent of the spare parts are interchangeable with the Type 31 tank, including sloped armor and gun mount rings.  Expanded, installed turret basket, pneumatic automatic fire extinguisher, commander and gunner's double periscope.  The shape of the turret is no longer a turtle shell, but resembles the turret of a French AMX30 tank. The front hemisphere is cast, the rear hemisphere is welded, and a tail bomb bay is added.

    Although it is more troublesome than pure casting.  The craftsmanship and processing time are long, but the tail compartment bomb rack allows the tank gun to respond faster.

    The reason why the 59 tank was adopted was not because of how good it was, but because Yang Qiu considered it comprehensively.  First of all, Hanyang uses the 591 chassis, which has undergone dozens of modifications, is mature and has a low failure rate.  The second is because the 59 technology originated from the Soviet T54. 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 matching L7 tank gun, it has not been solved due to metallurgy and other processes, so we can only use the 85mm/L56 rifled cannon produced in Zhengzhou.

    After a large number of experiments, technical personnel discovered it.  Under the current technology, if you want to enhance the armor-piercing capability, you must either lengthen the barrel or increase the bore pressure.  Lengthening the barrel will lead to a significant increase in manufacturing costs and time, and increasing the bore pressure will cause serious barrel burning.  The current domestic technical level can produce 67 times the barrel, but the scrap rate and cost are too high, so the technicians chose the latter.  Based on the navy's anti-aircraft gun of the same caliber, it uses technologies such as electroslag remelting and self-tightening of the barrel to strengthen the barrel. At the same time, the 85 mm projectile is equipped with a 105 mm grenade cartridge, which increases the kinetic energy of the muzzle by 25%.  Although the life of the artillery is reduced, the power is very satisfactory.  When using ordinary carbide hooded armor-piercing bullets.  It can penetrate 128 mm/30 degree armor at 1,000 yards, and can reach 185 mm/30 degree at 1,000 yards with high-speed tungsten bullets.

    A Tianshan-class landing ship can carry 16 Type 36 tanks, or 20 Type 31 tanks, or 1,100 soldiers and 2 personnel landing craft. 10 ships can just take away all the personnel and equipment of the independent regiment except trucks.  Originally, Ogel had two ro-ro ships specially left behind, but the ro-ro ships had high requirements on the terminal.  Only the port of Abadan, which was controlled by the Soviet army, could be loaded and unloaded on the Iranian coast.

    "Sanbiao, how long will it take?"

    "Report to the head of the regiment, there are only three battalions left." Ma Sanbiao opened his undershirt and kept fanning. For him, a northerner.  Even after staying there for more than half a year, I still feel uncomfortable.  Recently, three to four thousand people in the group army fell ill due to acclimatization. Fortunately, they were well prepared and only two people died.  fine.  The Soviet army has been unable to 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 because of concerns about the gap, there is still one cruiser, three destroyers and a dozen frigates in the bay, so all the troops have enough time to adapt to the environment.

    Li Jin gave Ma Sanbiao a bottle of iced Pepsi: "Here, iced."

    Islam does not drink alcohol. Although there is beer in the base, the headquarters still advises everyone to drink less, so iced Coke has become the most popular thing.  It¡¯s quite interesting to talk about this kind of cola. The economic crisis in 1929 led to the Great Depression in all walks of life in the United States. A Shanghai factory that produced soda water was purchased for a sky-high price of US$2.9 million and was bankrupt at the time.  The Pepsi-Cola company and all its formulas, including equipment, and more than a hundred American technicians moved back to Shanghai.

    This business caused a sensation in the United States at the time, and many people in the country ridiculed that a soda factory was not worth that much money at all.  But I didn¡¯t expect that in just a few years, Pepsi-Cola would become the largest soda factory in Asia, with more than a dozen branches opened, and it would also squeeze the American Coca-Cola Company out of the Chinese market.

    Although Japan controls the Malacca and Sunda Strait for various reasons, after flying the neutral flag, Japan does not need to turn its back on the occasional two or three ships, so it can still drink freely.  Ma Sanbiao finished it in one go and burped happily, then he looked up at the sky and said, "Damn it. These Saudis are so unreasonable. They took billions of dollars in loans from us, but they restricted this and that! I don't even want to think about it.  , if we weren¡¯t here, the Soviet army would have killed us eight lifetimes ago.¡±

    Ma Sanbiao¡¯s angry look made Li Jin dumbfounded. The conflict between Arabia and Persia has lasted for thousands of years. It would be strange if Saudi Arabia took the initiative to save Iran.  But having said that, this cannot be blamed on the incompetence of the Soviet army.  Without maritime support, an attack from the ground would have to first cross the British troops stationed in Basra and Kuwait.  Although the United Kingdom was sidetracked, Kuwait and Iraq were very important, so the Soviet top brass had not yet made up their minds.

    But even if there is a stalemate, they must be prepared.  The 22nd Independent Armored Regiment isA large number of landing troops, so tanks and equipment need to be loaded onto the ship first, so that they can set off immediately as soon as there is an order.  ""Don't be nagging, load the ship first, there will always be, woo woo woo!  "Li Jing was just about to say that there was a way, when a harsh air raid siren suddenly sounded in his ears!

    ¡°Soviet bombers are coming!¡±

    "Quickly, get up to the gun position!"

    "167 kilometers northwest of the target location, contact is expected in 25 minutes! Ammunition ready for battle!" The piercing air defense siren sounded like a heavy hammer.  The harbor that was peaceful just now was smashed into pieces.  Countless soldiers rushed out of the bunker, and 105mm, 85mm anti-aircraft guns, 40mm, 25mm, searchlights, etc. quickly turned to the target location.  The airport around Hofuf was like an explosion. The pilots rushed into the prepared fighters at the fastest speed. In less than five minutes, the first batch of 12 Thunder fighter jets, which had just arrived from China, had already rushed in.  Up to the sky.

    "Hurry up, hide first! Those who are full go first!"

    Ma Sanbiao, who was nagging at the dock just now about why the Soviet army didn't come, immediately told everyone to hide in the bunker, looked at the sky and rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Haha, I'm really lucky. Someone gave me a pillow just as I was about to sleep! Damn it, these Soviets  As expected, people are just like Big Beard, they are yin! They clearly want to use the night to cover up. Then they rush to attack us one second before sunrise."

    He guessed correctly. After Stalin learned that Wang Zhengting called him a "Georgian executioner", he immediately ordered the Persian front army to attack.  But as Li Jin said, Kuwait was blocked, the Soviet army had not been able to find an offensive route, and Stalin had not approved the telegram whether it could attack the British army, 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 Hofuf Refinery. This would not only fulfill the General Secretary's order to attack immediately.  It can also disrupt the enemy's oil supply.

    Novikov is the best air force tactical commander in the Soviet army. Since the first Afghan War, he has very carefully studied the use of the air force in the Spanish Civil War and the second Afghan War.  After years of research, he came up with the tactic of using night raids to overcome equipment weaknesses.  But there are also requirements for night raids.  First, it must take off from a distant airport to avoid detection, and then it needs to locate the target.  But Saudi Arabia is not Europe. Even though it has prospered and become the richest Arab country after its founding, there are not many city lights that can help pilots identify their direction.  So the staff finally came up with the idea of ??arriving just before dawn and bombing.  In order to prevent interception on the return flight, 12 BF109s and 26 i16s were dispatched to escort.

    But one thing he didn¡¯t know was that the Chinese National Defense Forces had begun to install second-generation radars.

    The light cruiser Xiangjiang in the center of the bay and the two Qinling-class destroyers began to turn their guns.  The Hawkeye air radar on the main mast rotates in circles.  In the radar fire control cabin below the command tower, Lei Bao held his equipment bag across his body and stared carefully at the approaching red dot on the flat screen display.

    The National Defense Forces began to study radio detection technology very early, and gradually got on track after the launch of Project 3010.  After nine years of development and key upgrades of data machines, the installation of second-generation air, sea and artillery fire control radars has begun.  New electronic technology has made the radar's trouble-free time several times greater than that of the first generation. Taking the Eagle Eye as an example, the trouble-free working time has increased by 47 hours from less than ten hours at the beginning, and it can detect high-altitude aircraft groups 157 kilometers away.  The detection range for a single aircraft at medium altitude is 78 kilometers and at low altitude is 43 kilometers.

    Next to the radar console is the fire control mechanical computer, which is used to calculate the data detected by the radar.  When the red dot approached the midpoint, the fire control team also calculated the distance, speed and other data.  "Height 6312 meters, speed 210 kilometers, wind direction, fire!" With a loud shout from the air defense command post on the rear island, the calm of the Persian Gulf was completely broken!

    "Boom, boom, boom."

    The navy¡¯s 120mm/L56 high-level and flat dual-purpose guns are fully automatic loading, with 1,522 rounds per minute, muzzle velocity of 834 meters per second, maximum range of 15 kilometers, and maximum anti-air range of 11,337 meters.  The Xiangjiang has 6 double doors, one at the front and one at the front, and two at the left and right.  The Qinling-class destroyers also have three twin guns of the same type arranged one behind the other.  The power of the three warships firing at full speed at the same time was amazing. In just one minute, 367 shells exploded among the Soviet aircraft group!  ¡­
