    ps: First of all, I want to apologize to everyone.

    Yesterday afternoon, I had an impromptu trip to Changzhou for some business. Because I didn¡¯t bring a computer, I couldn¡¯t update my leave request, leaving everyone waiting in vain.

    The day after Chen Haohui arrived in Beijing, a German oil expert disguised as an Italian businessman secretly came to the Libyan city of Ajdabiya.  Under the leadership of Jin Bihui, the Germans exploded the cement-sealed Sirte Basin exploration well and used drilling equipment stored nearby to repressurize it. In just a week, the oil well blew out again.

    The agreement was reached quickly. IG Farben came forward to use 62 million yuan and 3,000 technical personnel from Poland, the Czech Republic and other occupied areas to buy the land that ostensibly belonged to the Virginia Mining Company of the United States, and then carried out the project in the name of Italy.  Preliminary construction.  Due to the tense situation, it is impossible to build a refinery, so Farben's goal is to provide crude oil to the country as soon as possible.  Raeder also purchased all the drawings of the Tianshan-class landing ship on the grounds that the German Navy lacked transoceanic combat capabilities.  Considering that the domestic slipway tasks were full and that it would also be used in the Mediterranean, it was arranged to be built in Norwegian and Italian shipyards controlled by Germany.

    After the oil fields were dealt with, the Polish campaign also came to an end.  In the fierce battle that lasted for a month, the German army suffered 50,000 casualties, the Polish army suffered 200,000 casualties, and 690,000 were captured.  Compared with the Battle of Ahvaz, the German casualties were quite high. In addition to the vigorous resistance of Polish soldiers and civilians, this was mostly due to the rapid advancement of the blitzkrieg, which often exposed weak flanks.  The Soviet army also pushed the European defense line hundreds of kilometers westward during the 12-day operation, resulting in a total of 734 killed and 1,862 wounded.  It's slightly different.  In the original dimension, Hitler wanted to avoid fighting on two fronts.  He endured humiliation and returned a large amount of captured materials to the Soviet army, and took the initiative to return to the dividing line, but this time he took away most of the loot with a wave of his hand.

    Stalin couldn't care less about being angry. The East had now become his number one confidant.  In order to avoid a two-front war, they also actively requested the German army to hold a joint military parade in Poland and sent Motorolov to visit Berlin, hoping to continue Soviet-German friendship.  In the face of the Soviet Union's ingratiation.  Hitler suddenly became very high-spirited and asked Moscow to double the existing amount of ore. At the same time, he requested that the "Soviet-German Petroleum Agreement" be signed on the basis of the Friendship Agreement and Moscow provided 3 million tons of crude oil to Germany for free.  , and has sold 4 million tons at cost price every year since 1940.

    The Soviet Union is the third largest oil producer in the world, with an annual output of 30 million tons of crude oil.  However, the refining capacity is only 19 million tons per year, and they are all low-end products, so the actual production capacity is excess, and a large part of it is sent to cold Siberia to be used as coal for power generation or heating.  So Stalin thought twice and agreed to Hitler's "Soviet-German Petroleum Agreement", but he considered that the Soviet Union did not have high-quality aviation gasoline.  Therefore, Germany was required to export high-grade aviation gasoline to the Soviet Union every year and use crude oil to offset the purchase costs.  But he was also afraid of Germany's betrayal, so except for the first batch of 3 million tons, the rest were supplied on a monthly basis, so that only Germany would betray.  The fuel supply can be stopped immediately.

    After handling the oil agreement, Stalin turned his attention to the three Baltic countries.  Word of Japan's reopening of shipping lanes and the return of Chinese fleets to the Persian Gulf has reached Moscow.  Faced with the growing threat from the East, he could no longer wait any longer and had to completely resolve the European issue before China and the Soviet Union went into full-scale war.

    On the day the Polish campaign ended, the Soviet Tass news agency suddenly announced that two Soviet cargo ships were attacked off the coast of Estonia. Estonia had previously let go of a Polish submarine. So Stalin immediately dispatched 60,000 land and sea soldiers in the name of "destruction of Polish latent forces."  They forcibly entered Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, took over the seaports of the three countries, and disarmed the armies of the three countries on the grounds of preventing further sabotage incidents.

    The news that the Soviet army entered the three Baltic countries disappointed Chamberlain, who hoped that the Soviet Union and Germany would go to war in Poland, especially the news that they actually shook hands with each other on the dividing line and held a joint military parade!  It even made him feel that his internal organs were burning.

    The scenes of the two brothers playing out at the hands of Germany and the Soviet Union made Europe shudder.  The Times even used "The Wedding of Two Brothers" as its headline and published a cartoon of Stalin and Hitler holding hands and wearing veils on the front page, mocking Chamberlain's appeasement policy.  However, Britain did not give up its active preparations for war. It not only recruited troops from British colonies and Commonwealth countries around the world, but also began to purchase military supplies from various countries around the world.

    On September 19, the seventh day after the fall of Poland, Gu Weijun arrived in London and signed a contract with the British government for 1,027 H-6 bombers, 588 Y-6 bombers, 826 Li Feng and 1,302 spare twin Mustang 1,200 horsepower engines.  Contracts.  According to the contract, the British government not only needs to pay 420 million yuan, but also suspends the "Persian Gulf Peace Treaty" with Bahrain, Qatar and Trusil Oman (today's United Arab Emirates), and transfers jurisdiction over the above areas to  handled by the Chinese government.  But the British refused to trade Oman and Socotra, which Yang Qiu most hoped to obtain.

    In addition to signing the arms purchase agreement, Gu Weijun also met with representatives from all walks of life in the UK, including Churchill, and hinted to reporters for the first time that the Soviet Union and Germany had formed a substantial alliance and that Germany's next target wasMost likely France.  As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar in Europe. The German government immediately lodged a strong protest. Even the British and French people were deeply suspicious, thinking that he was alarmist.  Because France not only has a solid Maginot Line of defense, but also has an army several times stronger than Germany.

    The situation in Eurasia, amid these secret deals and political wrangling, is sliding bit by bit towards an unpredictable abyss

    While Su and De continued their tacit understanding of the partition game, Zhuo Fan had already boarded the military column heading from Urumqi to Kashgar.

    Since the Tenth Army¡¯s operations in Afghanistan were postponed by the Ministry of Defense, he has been inspecting the logistics and combat readiness situation in the northwest during this period.  After running for more than a month, he gained a lot.  Without seeing it with your own eyes, you can't understand how difficult it is to protect three million troops and logistics personnel and deliver millions of tons of supplies to remote areas thousands of kilometers away every month.

    The carriage was full of noise. These new soldiers transferred from Henan did not understand the hardships of war.

    "Have you heard?"

    Behind the seat.  Several newly graduated cadets were eating canned food while discussing the news in the newspaper: "It says that the president signed a secret treaty with Japan! Exchange the Philippines for the right of passage to Malacca. How is it impossible! You see, Singapore has already seen three waves  Hundreds of ships, including Guangzhou and Shanghai, will go out to sea at the end of the month. With such a large scale, where would they go if not Persia?"

    "Fuck you! How could the president compromise with little Japan? I think 80% of the time Japan is afraid of us. Haha, if you ask me, little Japan got scared after hearing about the Battle of Ahvaz, so it flattered and opened the way for hope.  Please let us not hit him."

    "Let me see. Hua Xin News? You also believe this newspaper. This is the newspaper of the Democratic Party. These people, seeing that a war is about to begin, stand up and make noises one by one, making themselves look like such powerful strategists.  Like. If they were really capable, why would they be defeated by Beiyang in the year of 1911? If the president had not stood up to clean up the country, how could the country be where it is today! Now that life is better, he will stand up and point fingers. What a nonsense!"

    "It cannot be said that the Democratic Party has supervised many cases of corruption and fraud in recent years. Although the president is good, he cannot control a large family like the National Socialist Party. Supervision can also promote progress."

    "We have no problem with domestic supervision. But externally, what else can we do besides causing chaos?"

    "That's true. I heard that Democratic Party members Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi are clamoring for the president to cease the war every day. Damn it! Don't even think about it. If you don't drive Mao Zi away, the northwest will be restless and the oil in the Persian Gulf will be gone. What a nonsense.  Peaceful days. Let me tell you."

    "Just be quiet and shut up!"

    The corporal who competes with luncheon meat hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet.  Suddenly there was a shout from the other end of the carriage.  Zhuo Fan turned around and saw a company commander standing on his seat, his ear almost touching the train's loudspeaker.  As the carriage gradually became quieter, the originally inaudible broadcast sound gradually became clearer.  "Now broadcasting urgent news from Xinhua News Agency. Early this morning, our troops stationed in Persia were fully attacked by the Soviet army. According to the current information, the Soviet army invested a total of about 300,000 troops this time, using 3,000 cannons and 500 cannons.  The remaining tanks and other advanced weapons. The fighting is mainly concentrated in Keshwar in the north of Iran's Khuzestan Province, Ilam in the west, Shahr Kurd Province, Bam in the north of Hormuz Province and other places.  "

    "Good guy, three hundred thousand!"

    "These idiots are really not afraid of death!"

    "Whoever goes to the division commander can arrange for us to go to Persia. It's better to go there and work hard than to be frozen in the northwest."

    "Ha ha."

    The news brought by the female announcer caused the carriage to explode instantly.  Most of the soldiers did not feel that the Soviet counterattack posed much of a threat, and they were still clamoring to apply for transfer to Iran.  But Zhuo Fan knew that as the Persian Army entered the northern plateau of Iran and the Battle of Ahvaz made the Soviet army more vigilant, it was no longer possible to replicate it.  However, in his view, it is not difficult to solve Iran, but the political risks are relatively high.

    Just as he was thinking about the second phase of the Persian war and simulating how he would fight if he were to direct it, several soldiers nearby suddenly pointed out the window and shouted: "Look, what is that?"

    "It's a plane, right? No, why doesn't it have wings?"

    "Look, the propeller is above the head, and the blades should provide lift." The shouts caused the soldiers to rush to the left, where they saw a strange-looking airplane lying close to the ground and parallel to the train.

    "It's a helicopter." Zhuo Fan answered everyone's questions.

    He heard from his air force classmates that helicopters were being researched in China, and he also knew that the United Kingdom and the United States were developing them.  However, the Air Force and the Ministry of National Defense don't seem to like it. Because the survival rate of helicopters is low, manufacturing is difficult, and operation is difficult, so I have never heard of them being installed.

    This helicopter, which looks like an S-55, followed the train for a few minutes and then gradually disappeared from sight.  At first everyone thought they couldn't see it, but they didn't expect the trainWhen we arrived at Baluntai Station, it actually parked directly outside the station.

    "Who is Zhuo Fan? Who is Zhuo Fan!"

    When Zhuo Fan and everyone looked at the helicopter carefully, several paratroopers with loaded guns and ammunition entered the compartment and kept shouting.

    "I am Zhuo Fan, and so are you." Zhuo Fan was a little confused, what did the Air Force want to do with him? When the airborne troops saw Zhuo Fan, they immediately saluted: "Report to Lieutenant Colonel, the Falcon Commando has been ordered to take you to Beijing."

    "Beijing?" Zhuo Fan was surprised, and the soldiers around him were also surprised. They didn't expect that the comrade who got on the bus in Urumqi was actually a lieutenant colonel, and he seemed to be a big shot. Otherwise, why would they send a plane, no, a helicopter?  Take it.  In fact, even the Falcon Commandos who came to pick up the people didn't know. They were testing helicopters and practicing airborne landing tactics near Urumqi, and they suddenly received an order to find the people.

    After getting into the helicopter, Zhuo Fan learned that it was a "Light Cavalry" helicopter jointly developed by Chongqing and Chengdu Sikorsky Company, with the Air Force number 3.  There are two pilots, a 750-horsepower piston engine is installed on the chin of the nose, and it can accommodate up to ten fully armed airborne troops.  However, like other helicopters, the process is complex and difficult to manufacture, and the survival rate in the face of a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the battlefield is worrying.

    When he was about to arrive at Urumqi Airport, five Z-3s that had finished their test training chased him from behind. However, he had no time to appreciate the first helicopter formation flight in human history. As soon as he got off the helicopter, he was stuffed into a Y-6
