The investigation of the Ural oil field fell on his side. When he received this telegram, Rommel was happy in his heart. It has been a long time since he fought a war, which made Rommel feel a little relieved.
In fact, Africa is not peaceful either. A free French organization is making a lot of noise in southern Africa. However, Germany must now concentrate all its energy on fighting the Soviet Union, so it is not suitable for war in other places, even if it is to use the power of the servant countries. It will also bring resource tension to Germany.
Now, Rommel finally had such a task, which was quite happy.
In fact, the strategic bomber unit is not in Rommel's hands. What they have to do is to play a cooperative role and provide a base for take-off. As long as you open the map and look at it, you know that you want to fly to the Ural Mountains, Iran. Is the most suitable.
"Dear Lu, would you like to accompany me to Iran?" Rommel said to his wife. He just said that he would take his wife to Iran and walk with the Iranian royal family. Now he has a chance.
A few hours later, Rommel’s special plane landed at Tehran Airport.
"Mrs. Lucy, you are so young, can I call you Sister Lucy?" Just as she got off the plane, a princess with a pie face greeted her.
Hearing this, Lucy was full of affection for Pancake Face instantly: "Of course, you are Princess Ashraf? I'll just call you Sister Ashraf."
"Sister, when I go to the palace, I will take you to my palace. I have many good things from Europe."
The two women are intimate, it may only take a minute. The two hold hands and become good friends who talk about everything. When Lucy comes out of Princess Ashraf’s bedroom, she has put on a few. The big diamond ring of carats and the gold jewelry on the top of the head are even more sparkling.
Rommel also breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally able to talk about business.
In fact, asking Iran to rent out an air base is simply a breeze. All you need is a phone call. Rommel came here, mainly with his wife, for fear that she would be thinking about returning to Europe every day.
And now, Rommel, welcomed by Prince Pahlavi, went all the way to the palace and met King Reza Khan.
Rommel has not been to Iran much. In the past, Model had always been in Iran to help them resist the invasion of the Soviet Union. Even so, Rommel ruled such a vast area, and Iran respected Rommel.
"Marshal Rommel, welcome to come to Tehran more in the future." King Reza Khan greeted Rommel eagerly at the gate of the palace. He is a shit. The area ruled by Rommel is his Iranian land. Several times as much as the army, and the strength of his men is extremely powerful.
"I came here this time mainly because I wanted to borrow the air base in Tehran as a temporary base for our bombers." Rommel went straight in.
"There is no problem at all. We will vacate the air base in Tehran and let it be used by you." Reza Khan did not have much resistance because of the notice received in advance, and he has no ability to refuse.
Anyway, the requisition of the air base here was to bomb the Soviet Union. Now that Iran has decided to take action against Baku, it will completely break with the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union does not fail, it will not be good for Iran.
As for the Soviet Union, their bomber units are useless. They should be able to leave. If they don’t, let them go.
"There is no need to vacate, we just need to move, and prepare us fuel, food, personnel rooms, and ground crews who are stationed in advance." Rommel is generous: "Iran is our ally, we have nothing to worry about."
Junker-290 and Atlantic airliner are common, and there is no technically that there is no leak. After Germany and the United States have turned their faces, the airliner of Lin Bai’s company must have been thoroughly studied by the Americans.
For Germany, propeller planes are a thing of the past, and jet planes are the items that need to be kept secret.
Rommel’s words won the favor of the Iranians present. A citizen like Iran actually values friendship. Germany has maintained friendship with Iran over the years. Although it is ridiculous to talk about friendship between countries, it’s only about interests. Mainly, Iran is still very grateful to Germany.
"Marshal Rommel, regarding the recent actions against Baku, we still hope to get your help!" Reza Khan said.
After accepting the German proposal, Iran began to prepare for its invasion of Baku, but it has not done anything until now.
First let the Turks attract the attention of the Soviets and transfer all nearby troops to Armenia. This is Princess Ashraf’s proposal, which can greatly reduce Iran’s losses.
Now let them fight fiercely, the more Turks die, the better!
At the same time, Iran is also making preparations. They have formulated perfect tactics. Part of them will start from East Azerbaijan Province, cross the mountains, enter the plains, and advance to Baku. At the same time, they plan to go directly to the Caspian Sea and in Pakistan. Ku Oilfield landed on the beach!
In this way, the safety of the Baku oil field can be guaranteed to the utmost extent, and the Soviets will not have time to react. As long as the situation is not good, the Soviets will definitely bomb the oil field!
However, they encountered a difficulty, they did not have a suitable landing vessel!
The Caspian Sea is an inland sea. There are only a few guards in Iran. The ships are outdated and it is impossible to achieve the goal of sending troops. It must be fast!
Although the Germans apparently let Turkey and Iran do it, they did not participate, but in fact, since there is a relationship, why not?
Germans have accumulated rich experience in cross-sea landing . If you ask Germans for help, of course you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"We want to pass through the Caspian Sea. We want to rent some high-speed landing ships from our ally, Germany, to help us cross the Caspian Sea and quickly achieve the purpose of controlling the Baku oil field!" Prince Pahlavi said, at this time, his With longing on his face, he is the commander of this action!
There are many landing ships in Germany. They did not ask Germany to help, but only asked Germany to provide some equipment. This is not a foul, and the Turks can't say anything.
Although the Caspian Sea is an inland sea, it is conceivable with many rivers in Iran. As long as you find a way, you can still move the ship.
Rommel shook his head: "No, I don't have this right."
Rommel's subordinates did not include the navy. Those landing ships could not be mobilized at all by Rommel, which was beyond his authority.
Hearing this, the Iranians present were immediately disappointed.
"However, I can help you apply."
