Iron Germany

"Comrade Joseph, the formation of the Caucasus Front Army has been completed. During this period of time, it has been accumulating combat supplies. As long as you give an order, the Caucasus Front Army can launch an attack!" Shaposhnikov said.

Joseph nodded: "Comrades, the Persian Gulf in the Middle East is the most important oil producing area for the Germans. As long as we can capture the Persian Gulf, we will destroy those oil wells. Without the oil in the Persian Gulf, the Germans' powerful The war machine will not start. Their tanks and planes will become a pile of scrap metal. We will easily defeat them!"

Indeed, if the Russian army can really occupy the Persian Gulf, it will have a great impact on Germany's war. Although Germany has oil fields in Romania and Libya, with the development of the economy, Germany and the whole of Europe consume more and more oil. Coupled with the progress of the war, the consumption of oil has been further expanded. The oil fields of Libya and Romania alone cannot meet Germany's oil demand at all. At that time, we will even have to limit oil consumption and give priority to ensuring the supply to the army. But if that is the case, it will inevitably arouse the resentment of the people. Therefore, the Russian army's attack on the Persian Gulf will pose a great threat to Germany.

However, Germany is not completely defenseless. Although Germany does not have troops stationed in the Persian Gulf, the local army is responsible for the security there. However, the Republic of Turkey has long stated to Germany that once war breaks out, their army will be on guard against the Russian army in the Caucasus.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is limited, and it is very difficult to say whether it can withstand the attack of the Russian army. However, as long as they can delay the actions of the Russian army, that is enough. Germany will quickly send troops to the Persian Gulf to protect the oil fields there.

As a protectorate of Germany, the Kingdom of Kuwait is also the most important oil export port with complete port facilities. As long as the German transport ships and merchant ships arrive there, the troops and equipment can be disembarked soon.

In the war against Bu Russia, the German army used sixteen army groups. The other four armies are deployed in Southeast Asia and Australia. In the British Isles and northern France, there is also an army group each. In addition, Germany has two armies serving as reserves. If something happens in the Persian Gulf, the two armies will be quickly boarded and shipped to the Persian Gulf. With Germany's shipping strength, it only takes half a month for the two armies to reach the Persian Gulf. The Turkish army should have no major problems with resisting the Russian army for half a month.

"Comrades, we must seize this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Germans and let them know that the great Bu Russia is not so easy to deal with! If we can win, we will be able to turn defeat into victory!" Joseph said.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" all answered.

Although, they may not think that they can defeat Germany by conquering the Persian Gulf. However, that is at least very beneficial to Bu Russia.

"Send a telegram to the Caucasus Front Army, and launch an attack a week later! They will win the Persian Gulf, and they will be the heroes of Bu Russia!" Joseph said.

Shaposhnikov's heart trembled, he knew what Joseph meant. After winning the Persian Gulf, the Caucasus Front Army is the hero. If they fail to complete this task, then they will probably become the sinners of Buer. At that time, the leaders of the Caucasus Front Army will be dealt with.

As Buo's losses on the battlefield increased, Joseph became more and more impatient. This made him become more and more strict with the generals who led the troops.

But even so, there is no way for everyone. Although Joseph is not the tsar, his current strength is greater than that of the tsar. At least, the Tsar did not have the power to execute ministers or generals at will. But Joseph can!

Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. As the hometown of Comrade Joseph, Georgia has developed very well over the years, and it is also the place where Joseph is most supported in Burusa.

The components of the Caucasus Front Army are mostly troops stationed in the north and south of the Caucasus Mountains. Those soldiers are almost all locals here. After receiving the order to form the Caucasus Front Army, Kozlov, Shamanin and Torbukhin were preparing for the attack.

The Caucasus Front is still very strong, with the 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th and 51st armies under its jurisdiction. It's just that compared with the main group armies on the western front, their strength is much smaller. The 44th Group Army was formed on the basis of the 40th Infantry Army, under the jurisdiction of the 20th and 77th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 17th Cavalry Division and several other units. The 45th Group Army was formed on the basis of the 23rd Infantry Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region. It had the 138th Mountain Infantry Division, the 31st and 136th Infantry Divisions, the 1st Mountain Cavalry Division, and part of the artillery unit. The 46th Group Army was established on the basis of the 3rd Infantry Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region. It has the 9th and 47th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 4th Infantry Division, the 7th Battalion of Independent Armored Trains, artillery and other units. The 47th Army Group was formed on the basis of the 28th Mechanized Army of the Transcaucasus Military District. It had the 63rd and 76th Mountain Infantry Divisions, the 236th Infantry Divisions, the 6th and 54th Tank Divisions, artillery and other units. The 51st Group Army is a newly formed unit, under the jurisdiction of the 9th Infantry Corps, the 271st and 276th Infantry Divisions, the 40th, 42nd and 48th Cavalry Divisions, and several other units.

Among these group armies, the most powerful is undoubtedly the 51st group army. But the one with the most powerful attack power belongs to the 47th Army. Two tank divisions with quite a few tanks. In battle, it undoubtedly has a strong assault force.

On October 24, Lieutenant General Kozlov, commander of the Caucasus Front, convened generals from all subordinate armies and divisions and above to hold a combat meeting.

All the generals present at the meeting looked serious. They all knew that this meant that after the formation of the Caucasus Front Army, it was about to launch an offensive. Although, the direction of their attack is the Persian Gulf, the first thing to deal with will be the Turks and the local indigenous army. But these generals were also worried about whether they would fight the Germans later. Turks and other native armies, they don't care. However, the Germans are different. The Germans fought on the Bu-Russia battlefield, but the main forces they fought were retreating steadily. And their Caucasian front army, which has a lot of recruits, can beat the Germans? That is obviously unlikely.
