Jagged Germany

Chapter 1160: Army Group E (seeking monthly ticket)

"The Turkish Army Minister and Chief of Staff, Admiral Enver, has personally led the Turkish 3rd Army to the front line. Moreover, they also issued an order requiring the two front-line armies to stick to the line of defense and not to retreat without authorization. In this case, it should be able to resist The attack of the Russian army!" Gustav Stresemann said.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, no matter how bad the Turkish army is, it will be able to withstand the Russian attack. The Russian army attacked the 44th, 45th, and 46th armies of Turkey. The strength of the three armies is only two Only 100,000 people. If Turkey can concentrate three armies, it will definitely be able to withstand the Russian attack! It may even defeat the Russians." Admiral Lundstedt said.

??Qin Tian nodded, although the Turks were gone. But in the Middle East, it is still a powerful country. The combat effectiveness of the 600,000 troops equipped with German weapons cannot be underestimated.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, convey my thanks to Your Excellency the President of Turkey, and thank the Republic of Turkey for everything it has done for the allies. Tell them to let their army hold on. Our army is already on its way to the Persian Gulf." Qin God said.

??At this time, the Turks are willing to do their best to resist the Russians, which is undoubtedly good news.

"Your Majesty, the real trouble is the 47th Army and the 51st Army under the Russian Caucasus Front. These two armies are stronger. At the same time, there are two tank divisions. Even if the Iranian Army tries its best I can't resist it either," Marshal Manstein said.

Qin Tian's face was serious, he thought for a while, and then said: "Isn't the Iranian Army still has three group armies? Tell them to immediately gather their troops and rush to reinforce them! Even if they can't resist the Russian attack, they must be held back as much as possible. It is possible to delay them. Buy enough time for us! In addition, let the Iraqis build a line of defense in the Zarogos Mountains, relying on the mountainous terrain to resist the Russians. The Russians' powerful tank forces cannot be defeated in the mountains. How much combat power can be exerted. In this case, it will not be a big problem to persist for half a month. Tell the king of Iraq and Iran, as well as those high-ranking military and political officials, if they can't hold the Russians this time, then Their days are over!"

??Qin Tian is obviously determined this time. The kings and ruling classes of the Kingdom of Iran and the Kingdom of Iraq were almost all supported by Germany. On the one hand, Germany is to control the oil resources here. On the other hand, it is also to use them to defend Germany's interests at critical moments. However, if they are useless at all, then Germany naturally has no need to keep them.

?? "Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Manstein nodded. He felt the killing intent in Qin Tian's words. He naturally supported Qin Tian's decision. If you don't put pressure on those guys, they won't try their best. In that case, it would be impossible to hold back the Russian army.

"Your Majesty, if the Kingdom of Iran and the Kingdom of Iraq do their best, it will not be a big problem to hold back the Russians. After all, it only takes half a month for our reinforcements to reach the Persian Gulf. By then, the Russians will They are not our opponents at all!" Prime Minister Vahit said optimistically.

??Although the 21st Army and the 22nd Army of the German Army are also newly formed troops, the combat effectiveness of the German Army is not comparable to that of the Russian Army. Both armies are well-armed units. Although not as powerful as the 12 front-line armies, the gap is not that big. Defeating the Caucasus Front of the Russian Army will be a matter of hand.

"Your Majesty, the goal of Bu Russia this time is completely aimed at our oil fields. If their Caucasus Front Army fails to succeed this time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take other actions next time. We must strengthen our control over the oil fields. Protection is the job," said Air Marshal Albert Kesselring.

?? "You mean, the Russians may use bombers to bomb our oil fields in the Persian Gulf?" Qin Tian frowned suddenly.

??Compared to an attack by the army, the bombing by the air force is more sudden and concealed, and it is more difficult to defend against.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Bu'er dispatched troops to attack the Persian Gulf this time. I am afraid that the greater purpose is to capture it, not destroy it. If they find that they cannot occupy the Persian Gulf, they will definitely find a way to destroy it. Oil fields. It is undoubtedly the best way to dispatch bombers to bomb!" Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

?? "However, the Russian SB bombers have insufficient range, and I am afraid they cannot threaten our oil fields." Qin Tian said.

??In terms of aviation industry, Russia is undoubtedly lagging behind the world's first-class level. Their SB2 bomber has a maximum range of only 980 kilometers. If it takes off from Russia, it can reach the German oil fields in Iraq and Kuwait, but it may not be possible to bomb the German oil fields in Saudi Arabia. In addition, after these bombers launched an attack, they could not return. Because, there is not enough fuel.

"The Russian SB2 bombers really can't reach our oil fields. However, the American B-17 bombers can. If the United States joins the war, or the Americans just shamelessly let their bomber units paint the logo of the Russian Air Force If we launch an attack, our oil fields will be exposed within the strike radius of their bombers!" Marshal Albert Kesselring continued.

??Qin Tian's complexion suddenly became ugly. He knew that this was definitely possible. The Americans will do anything to defeat Germany.

"No, the air defense in the Middle East must be strengthened immediately. The Imperial Air Force dispatched an aviation group to station in the Persian Gulf. Deploy more air defense radars to ensure the safety there! If necessary, more air forces can be stationed!" Qin Tian said .

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the short term, one aviation group is enough. If we can take the Caucasus and then push further into Bu Russia, even the American B-17 bombers will not be able to reach our oil fields. "Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

??Qin Tian nodded, he thought for a while, then looked at Admiral Lundstedt and said.

?? "I plan to organize the 21st Army, the 22nd Army, and the Turkish army in the theater into the Imperial Army E Army Group. General Lundstedt, are you willing to be the commander of this Army Group?"

?? Admiral Lundstedt was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of joy: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you!"
