After meeting with the main generals of the central cluster in the West Asian Theater, An Yi spent another week inspecting the headquarters of the 13th and 14th Group Army and the headquarters of the subordinate divisions that were left behind, and then went down to the company to work with grassroots officers and soldiers.
Eat and live together, understand everyone's thoughts, and solve practical difficulties in a timely manner.
According to the order of the Central Military Commission, among the five armies under the Central Cluster, the 15th and 16th Army have begun to call back to the Two Rivers area, and the three tank divisions and two armored infantry divisions of the Second Tank Army have been deployed in Gaziantep.
, Aleppo, Urfa, Diyarbakır and Hasakah...
Among the two armies left behind, the 15th Group Army is mainly deployed in the southwest coastal area of the Taurus Mountains, with its military headquarters stationed in Mersin; the 16th Group Army is deployed in the northwest and northern areas of the Saihan River Plain, with its military headquarters stationed in Osmani
Yeah. At the same time, the two armies also shoulder the responsibility of reorganizing and training the army for the Turkish government.
The Turkish government-in-exile returned to southern Turkey from the British Isles on the 29th of last month. It temporarily used Adana as its capital to reorganize a new Turkish government and send officials to gradually take over the political power in southern, southeastern and western Turkey.
The Turkish National Army was established with the help of the Anjia Army.
The new Turkish government issued a message to all Turks, calling on the people of the country to unite to fight against the German puppet Turkish military government, restore Turkey's democracy and freedom, completely expel the German army from Turkish soil, and regain the realization of
Turkey’s independence and autonomy.
This is the situation in southern Turkey. On the west coast of the Mediterranean and the Sinai Peninsula, the Anjia Army has left three armies. On the one hand, it deters the German troops on the west bank of the Suez Canal, and on the other hand, it maintains peace and stability in the Middle East. Among them, in Sinai
The peninsula is garrisoned by the 23rd Army, consisting of Palestinian, Israeli, and Lebanese
The western coastal highlands such as Banen and Syria are garrisoned by the 24th Army, while the plains of Transjordan and eastern Syria are defended by the Fourth Tank Army. Three tank divisions and two armored infantry divisions are distributed in Deir ez-Zor.
, Homs, Damascus, Amman, Aqaba and other places. Support the other two armies at any time.
In response to the war in Northwest Africa, the "Free French" movement only dispatched an understrength unarmed infantry division to Lebanon and Syria to declare territory and sovereignty, and purchased all weapons and equipment from China.
Not to be outdone, the British stationed a regiment of troops each in Transjordan and the Palestinian areas to maintain law and order. In areas of Israel where riots frequently occur, the Israeli government under preparation is responsible for it. A Jewish division trained by the Anjia Army has been transformed from one to two.
, expanded to two.
However, due to the German armed proliferation policy, the Arabs in these areas basically have weapons. Violent and bloody conflicts between the two major ethnic groups, Jews and Arabs, occur frequently. Only the iron and blood of the Anjia Army can deter criminals. In Jewish Mutual Aid
Under the strong request of the Congress and the pleading of the British and French governments, the Anjiajun had to temporarily exercise "peacekeeping" powers and wait for the post-war transfer.
This is also the main reason why An Yi, the Military Commission and the General Staff all want to get out of the quagmire of the Middle East, but they cannot escape.
On the morning of April 14, the seat of the Adana Provisional Government.
When An Yi met with Turkish President Ismet Inonu, he conveyed the Persian request for the territory in northeastern Turkey.
Ismet Inonu's thin face turned red. He suppressed the anger in his chest and said loudly: "I'm sorry, our government will never allow the country and territory to be divided!"
An Yi's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm: "So what situation is Turkey in now? Can the Germans and the military government heed the call of Mr. President?"
"Your Excellency, I need to remind you that the current split is only temporary!"
Inonu looked directly at An Yi: "However, once the land in the above areas is ceded to Persia and is confirmed internationally, there will never be any hope of getting these territories back. I don't want to become a sinner of the country and nation, and I will never
!”
"But……"
An Yi's expression became serious: "The Turkish military government is indeed working for the tiger. They followed the footsteps of the Nazi army and attacked the Middle East, Persia and the Soviet Union. There are still more than 400,000 Turkish prisoners in our prisoner-of-war camps.
The soldiers, including the two infantry divisions handed over to you to form the National Army, are also composed of soldiers who have better ideological reform from the prisoners. Of course, we will hand over more prisoners to you in the future to enrich the strength of the National Army.
"From the perspective of the two opposing camps of the Allies and the Axis Powers, the Turkish military government has stood on the opposite side of the entire democratic world. Even if they obtained national power through unfair means, it is unavoidable for the Turks to cause major trauma to the Allies.
Disputing facts. Just like after the end of the last European War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire lost territory in the Middle East, Egypt, Hijaz, Yemen, Mesopotamia and other places. Now Turkey also needs to come up with some valuable things to block the people.
Mouth. If Turkey is not punished, how can it convince the public?"
"Convince the public?"
Ismet Inonu complained in his heart, thinking that it is not you who has the final say in convincing the public. However, his face regained his composure and explained patiently:
"I admit that the military government did pose a threat to world peace, but these are the personal actions of a few Nazis, and the blame should not be simply attributed to the entire Turkish people. In my opinion, the Allies must win this
To win a world war, justice must be ensured. To arbitrarily deprive other countries of their territorial and sovereign integrity is definitely not what a righteous person would do.
"The premise of the package of cooperation agreement we reached in Hue, your country, was that the President promised not to colonize Turkey and not have any territorial or sovereignty claims against Turkey. Now that you suddenly make such a claim, it's not a good idea.
Doesn’t that count as backbiting?
"In addition, the Atlantic Charter signed by your country, the United States, and the United Kingdom clearly stipulates that the wishes of all countries, regions, and ethnic groups must be fully respected. Unjust territorial expansion shall not be pursued, and unjust territorial expansion shall not be pursued, and unjust expressions of national freedom shall be opposed.
The desired territorial change. In a sense, Mr. Chairman’s suggestion is contrary to the Charter. It will definitely not be supported by all countries in the post-war world!”
An Yi frowned: "The provisions in the Charter were agreed upon by me, President Roosevelt, and Prime Minister Churchill. I know it better than you. All the contents are aimed at the Allied countries and those affected by the Nazis and militarism.
A country invaded by foreigners, but the nature of Turkey has not yet been effectively defined.
“In the United Nations Declaration, all High Contracting Parties reaffirm their commitment to full cooperation in military efforts and in the use of their resources against the common enemy. Governments and authorities undertake to continue fighting the common enemy or any one enemy,
Never make peace alone. The Turkish military government joined the Axis countries three years ago. From this point of view, the provisions of the Charter do not apply to Turkey!
"Finally, if the Turkish government does not make certain compensation for the military government's war actions, it means that other countries can follow this example in the future, swinging in many directions, and relying on the fence in international relations to obtain the greatest benefits. And now Turkey
You only need to pay a small price to gain the understanding of neighboring countries and the entire alliance, and this kind of payment is not a loss!"
Inonu suddenly stood up, but then realized that he had lost his composure. After sitting down, he said to An Yi with a serious face: "I'm sorry! I have already said that all aggression against other countries is caused by the military government and is legal with us.
The legitimate democratically elected government of Turkey is completely irrelevant.
"We can fully open up to the Chinese government and consortiums. We are welcome to invest and set up factories and enterprises in our country to jointly develop resources such as oil and coal, iron, bauxite, copper, iron ore, and even welcome the Chinese military to establish operations in Turkish territory. Station on the ground and open all land, sea and air force bases to help Türkiye resist threats from other countries!
"However, when it comes to territory and sovereignty, we will not make any concessions. This is the bottom line of a nationalist and a place that must not be touched in the conscience. Your Excellency, I love my motherland, I love my people, and I do not
I will disregard the interests of the country and the nation for the sake of individual and group selfish interests. Otherwise, I will look down on myself, because I have lost the basic principles of being a human being and am no longer worthy of being called a human being!"
An Yi was greatly moved, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "I'm sorry, Mr. President's loyalty to the country and the nation is deeply admirable. It was An Yi who was abrupt. Originally, I thought that the territory of northwest Turkey is in the plateau area.
The land is barren and there are no mineral deposits. It is insignificant to Turkey, but I did not expect that any insightful person with national consciousness would not watch his country being dismembered...
"Mr. President, I hope that my suggestions will not affect the normal relations between the two countries, let alone the package agreement signed by both of us."
Inonu was relieved and said to An Yi with a smile: "Of course not! Anyone may make mistakes, the key is to see if they can correct them. I have abandoned my country and people before and fled around the world. Now
I have realized that if I could reach
At that time, we exposed the rebel conspiracy of the soldiers and led the people to resist bravely. There will definitely not be a situation like today! Compared to Mr. Chairman, I should be more ashamed! I hope that your country and our country will work together to jointly maintain peace in West Asia and the world.
and stability!”
This matter was lightly revealed in this way, but the impact on An Yi was extremely huge. At this time, he discovered that he had been keen on power politics for some time. Although the Democratic Republic of China had grown from the establishment to the
The rapid development and growth to this day have been achieved through tough expansion, but they all follow the minimum moral bottom line.
For example: it took back the sovereignty of Mongolia and Central Asia at the invitation of the Far Eastern Republic; it annexed Siam as a provocation by the Siamese government; it entered Afghanistan at the invitation of the Afghan royal family; it entered the subcontinent in pursuit of the "murder king"
Sheng Shicai's pace; sending troops to Persia was to expel the raging Soviet army; and occupying the Far East, Lianghe, Burma and Malaya was obtained on the basis of defeating the Japanese army.
As for Siberia and the Caucasus, they were obtained through a series of treaties with the Far Eastern Republic and the Soviet Union. All of them are justified and can withstand scrutiny.
Throughout the history of the rise, expansion and development of the Democratic Republic of China, the An Yi regime has been in a relatively "passive" position and has never had domineering hegemony or coercion. Like now, it is blatantly forcing a country that had already rebelled before the war.
The state had never existed before. And it failed as expected.
That night, Dianna felt unwell and rested alone. An Yi mentioned this matter when she and Zi Xin were sleeping with their necks crossed after having sex.
Zi Zixin analyzed: "In my eyes, the relationship between countries is equivalent to a transaction relationship. It must be fair and reasonable, and you and I will be willing to do it for a long time. If you bully others to buy and sell by force, when one party can't bear it, disaster will happen."
.
"We forcefully stand up for Persia in order to avoid triggering a backlash from nationalists in Persia. However, if we offend Turkey's interests and attract the resentment of Turkish nationalists, it will not be worth the gain. After all, even if the northern land is given to
Will their nationalists be less hostile to us if we get rid of Persia? Not necessarily! Therefore, instead of offending both families, it is better to only infringe on the interests of one family, so that they will not be isolated in the future!"
An Yi was a little surprised and thought thoughtfully: "Is it a ploy by Pahlavi or Princess Ashraf to sow discord?"
"They may not have that IQ!"
Ye Zixin shook his head: "It is probably suggested by people lurking around them who are hostile to the royal family and us. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone. Now the surrounding areas of Persia are basically under our control, and there is less threat from the Soviet Union in the north. The British forces have also been
Expelled, the royal family is living too comfortably. The opposition wants to muddy the waters and make us enemies on many sides. By then we will be tired of dealing with various emergencies, and we will be able to draw chestnuts from the fire."
"It seems that we need to make the Persian royal family and the people have more sense of crisis!"
An Yi thought calmly and said: "The war situation around Moscow is now tense. Although the Soviet army has counterattacked on all fronts, the German army is constantly accumulating troops, and a new decisive battle is brewing. I will prepare to fight with Stalin when I turn around.
Get in touch to see if you can purchase land in Transcaucasus.
"After all, Transcaucasus was recovered by us from the Germans. For Stalin now, it is a dispensable enclave. Compared with the survival of the Soviet regime, its importance here is not that significant! If it can be achieved
Deal, we will sign a secret treaty with Persia and hand over the Republic of Armenia and Georgia to Persia after the war. With the rich coal, iron, oil and natural gas resources there, I think the Persians will be satisfied!
“The most important thing is that, regardless of whether the other side of the Caucasus Mountains is the territory of the Soviet Union or Germany after the war, the Persians will face a powerful neighbor and must rely firmly on us to maintain their regime, instead of like now, where we can do everything.
bear!"
Ye Zixin suddenly said: "Now the number of Slavs in our territory has almost exceeded 13 million. This is really not conducive to the central government's control over areas where Slavs are concentrated. I suggest that a large number of Slavs be moved to Armenia and Georgia.
and other places, and strive to reduce the Slav population in other regions to less than five million or even two million. If necessary, we can abandon Azerbaijan."
An Yi's heart moved.
The oil-producing areas currently controlled by China, around the Persian Gulf alone, account for more than 65% of the world's total oil reserves. If the oil and gas fields in Siberia, Central Asia, the subcontinent, and the future Southeast Asian archipelago are added, the total reserves can account for
More than 75% of the world, which is an extremely scary number.
Although the output of the Baku Oilfield is now very high, in history, the oil seedlings gradually dried up after just more than ten years. In 1955, the proportion of crude oil production in the Soviet Union dropped to 15%, and in 1970 it fell to about 5%. By the 1980s
, its proportion is even less than 2%. What follows is that the city's development speed slows down, and its political and economic status continues to decline.
The ethnic composition of the Transcaucasus region is complex. Although after the internal purges of the Soviet Union and the high-pressure rule of the Germans, the people were in dire straits. In addition, due to the impact of the war, the population was severely reduced, but at least about four million Caucasians have survived in the entire region. These
People who have received compulsory education in the Soviet Union and whose national ideology has been enlightened do not have much favorable impressions of An Jiajun.
Different from the ethnic groups in Central Asia, the Far East and other places, they were once the land of China or were influenced by Chinese culture in history, and it is easier to accept the Chinese emotionally. The Transcaucasus region is seriously influenced by European culture and Islamic culture. For example, most residents of Georgia believe in
Orthodox Christians, a few people believe in Christianity and Islam, most residents of Armenia believe in Christianity, and people in Azerbaijan mainly believe in Islam. It is difficult for these areas to be integrated into the greater Chinese national circle.
The Anjia Army certainly cannot implement a genocidal policy like Nazi Germany. Therefore, instead of spending a lot of effort and thankless efforts, it is better to hand over this hot potato and nominally incorporate it into the territory of the Kingdom of Persia. Presumably, by then, only the internal strife in Persia will be enough.
Make those nationalists miserable.
Thinking of this, An Yi suddenly felt that Zi Zixin had the potential of a female Zhuge, and with a great heart, he hugged the beauty again and rose up like rain and clouds.
