"Cun, you know, the Soviet army has always coveted the Middle East. It appeared last time and attacked Persia privately. If you actively invite them to attack the Middle East this time, you know what the consequences will be." After a long time, Stilwell spoke. said. His voice was full of worry and helplessness. Stilwell was well aware of the ambition and strength of the Soviet army. The Soviet army's coveting of the Middle East has not changed overnight. They have always been eager to expand their influence in this strategically important area. The last time the Soviet army privately attacked Persia, the situation had become tense and complicated. If we take the initiative to invite the Soviet army to attack the Middle East this time, we will undoubtedly be playing with fire. On the one hand, Soviet intervention could upset the existing balance of power. The Middle East has become the focus of intertwining forces of all parties. Western countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom also have their own interests and strategic layouts in this land. The arrival of Soviet troops may trigger new conflicts and competitions, making the situation more difficult to control. On the other hand, Soviet actions were unpredictable.

They may act in accordance with their own interests and strategic goals, and may not necessarily fully obey the command and arrangements of the US military. This may cause problems with cooperation and may even cause damage to the interests of the US military. Stilwell's concerns were not unfounded. In this complex international situation, every decision needs to be carefully considered. Inviting the Soviet army to attack the Middle East is undoubtedly a risky choice. But faced with the current predicament, he had to think about various possible solutions. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng just sneered in his heart. It was like there was a cold sharp knife hidden in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to move in this chaotic situation. Of course he knew the consequences of inviting the Soviet army to go south, which would be an even bigger storm, a storm that would plunge the entire Middle East into endless turmoil. However, this is exactly what he wanted to see. In his eyes, chaos does not mean destruction, but opportunity. Only when the situation becomes more chaotic will he have the opportunity to draw chestnuts from the fire. At this moment, he was like a cunning fox, looking for his prey on this smoke-filled battlefield. He knows very well that in this turbulent situation, every decision may trigger a chain reaction, and every action may change the direction of destiny. And he wants to take advantage of this chaotic situation to seek the greatest benefit for himself. He has his own calculations and plans in his heart. He is waiting for the opportunity to come, waiting for that moment to explode. There was an elusive light in Cun Yunsheng's eyes. He knew that Stilwell was hesitating, weighing the pros and cons. But he is not in a hurry. He believes that Stilwell will eventually make a choice that is beneficial to him.

"General Stilwell, your worries are justified to a certain extent. The Soviet army is far more greedy than the German army, but we can only rely on the other party's strength now." Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone. A hint of helplessness and heaviness. He was well aware of Stilwell's concerns, but under the current situation, they seemed to have no choice. Cun Yunsheng continued: "The Soviet army has strong strength. Only they can solve this problem. We cannot give up this possible solution because of our worries about them. In this difficult moment, we must weigh the pros and cons and make a decision. The smartest decision ever.” There was firmness and determination in his eyes, as if he was convincing Stilwell to put aside his worries. "Sometimes you can't object blindly, but you also have to think of some tricks. After all, tricks have been popular since ancient times." Cun Yunsheng thought to himself as the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sly smile. He knew that in cooperating with the Soviet army, the US military must not completely passively accept the Soviet army's requirements, but must find ways to seize the initiative. Through clever negotiation and strategy, they could guide the actions of the Soviet army so that it not only benefited themselves, but also brought benefits to the United States and other Allies. "General Stilwell, I suggest that we consider letting the Soviet army go south. We will wait until the Soviet army and the German army are exhausted before we end. Maybe at that time, the Soviet army will retreat in spite of the difficulties." Cun Yunsheng's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Stilwell's heart. Stilwell fell into deep thought, thinking about Cun Yunsheng's suggestion. He understands that in this complex international situation, there is no absolute right or wrong, only the weighing of interests and the wisdom of decision-making. He must seriously consider what Cun Yunsheng said and find a way that can not only solve the current crisis but also protect the interests of the United States. "What you said makes sense. This is indeed a good idea." After a long time, Stilwell said. There was a hint of thoughtful recognition in his voice, as if he finally saw a glimmer of hope after weighing the pros and cons. "But what if the Soviet army doesn't go south?" Stilwell's worry resurfaced again, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed uncertainty about the future. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was silent for a while. His mind was racing, thinking about all the possibilities. After a moment, he slowly said: "They will definitely go south. The Soviet army will definitely not be able to part with such a large oil field." Yunsheng's tone was firm, and he had a deep understanding of the Soviet army's greed. Oil fields are extremely important strategic resources for any country, and the Soviet army cannot give up such an opportunity easily. "And they also want revenge." Cun Yunsheng continued. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, as if he could see the anger in Su Jun's heart. The Soviet army suffered losses in the last conflict, and they must be eager for the opportunity to take revenge. Driven by the dual drive of profit and revenge, the possibility of the Soviet army going south is extremely high. Listening to Cun Yunsheng's analysis, Stilwell nodded slightly. He had to admit that Cun Yunsheng's judgment made sense. But there are still worries in his heart. After all, cooperation with the Soviet army is full of risks and uncertainties. However, in the current predicament, they seem to have no better choice. Stilwell decided to consider the plan carefully, weigh the pros and cons, and make a final decision. "I understand. I will report this plan to the White House. I believe they will make a decision." Stilwell said.

"The general is wise." Cun Yunsheng flattered him without hesitation. … "Hmph, the Americans are using us as weapons." In an office in Red Square, the bearded man looked at the telegram and sneered, with a trace of dissatisfaction naturally revealed in his words. His eyes were fixed on the telegram, as if he wanted to see the true intentions of the United States. His bushy eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes shone with a thoughtful light. Big Beard knew in his heart that by sending such a request at this time, the United States undoubtedly wanted to use the power of the Soviet Union to solve their own problems. The Soviet Union had already paid a huge price in the war, but the United States was now trying to involve them in a new conflict. This made him feel angry and humiliated at being taken advantage of. He stood up and paced back and forth in the office, thinking about what to do. He understood that the Soviet Union could not be easily led by the United States, but at the same time, he could not ignore the strategic importance of the Middle East. The oil fields were equally attractive to the Soviet Union, and the opportunity for revenge lay before them. The bearded man stopped and looked into the distance. He knew that this decision would affect the future and international status of the Soviet Union. He had to carefully balance the need to protect Soviet interests without allowing the United States to succeed. In this complicated situation, he needed to find a balance point, a solution that could not only meet the needs of the Soviet Union, but also make the United States pay a corresponding price. "Has the KGB found out the source of those weapons in Persia?" The bearded man looked at Beria, his eyes revealing sharpness and eagerness. He put his hands behind his back and leaned forward slightly with his tall body, carrying an unquestionable majesty. Beria cleared her throat and her expression became serious. "Great leader, after a detailed investigation by the KGB, it has been basically determined that those beautiful weapons and equipment were secretly provided to Persia by the United States." His voice was steady, and every word was filled with vitality. The bearded face instantly darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. "They are indeed Americans! They are stabbing us in the back." He clenched his fists, and his joints made a slight "click" sound. "While they maintain an alliance with us on the surface, they support our enemies behind the scenes and cause us trouble. This is unforgivable." The bearded man paced back and forth in the room, his steps heavy, as if every step Can create a deep hole in the ground. Beria continued: "The delivery channels of these weapons are very hidden, passing through multiple middlemen, and there are a lot of disguise measures. However, through unremitting efforts, our agents still tracked down some key clues and finally determined that the United States role in it.” The bearded man stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. "We can't just let this matter go. Since the Americans want to use others to deal with us, then we have to let them know that the Soviet Union is not something to be trifled with." There was a firm determination in his eyes, as if he had already I have planned in my mind how to respond to this provocative behavior by the United States. "Then how should we respond to the United States' request for us to go south to the Middle East?" Beria asked cautiously. He knew that this decision was crucial and related to the Soviet Union's interests in the Middle East and its game with the United States. The bearded man thought for a moment and said slowly: "We cannot easily act according to the wishes of the United States, but we cannot ignore the interests of the Middle East, especially those oil fields." "We want the United States to know that we can go south, but it must be on our terms, and they have to pay the price for their previous actions."

In fact, these weapons were sold to Persia by Cun Yunsheng, but he put on several vests for himself, and his methods were extremely clever. In this complex international situation, he is like a chess player hiding in the dark, making careful arrangements and clever maneuvers. Cun Yunsheng knew that once his actions were discovered, it would cause huge waves. So he went to great lengths to disguise his identity and make the clues to the transaction confusing. In the end, the KGB could only find the US military, which he expected. He cleverly took advantage of the conflicts and suspicions between the various forces to hide himself tightly. Even if Cun Yunsheng was found guilty, he would only be considered to have been instigated by the US military. In people's perception, how could a small brigadier general have so much energy? This is simply a fantasy. Cun Yunsheng seized on this mentality and boldly implemented his plan. And his actions will have a profound impact on the situation in the entire Middle East. "Let the troops of the Caucasus Military Region go south immediately. This time we will take revenge." The bearded man was silent for a while, and then issued the order. "yes." … Marshal Budyonny frowned slightly when he received the telegram from the bearded man. His weathered face was filled with solemnity and thinking at this moment. The telegram in his hand seemed to be of great weight, making him feel the heavy responsibility and pressure. He could still remember the last disastrous defeat. The fierce battle scene, the soldiers' cries and pain, kept replaying in his mind like a movie. That failure was like a deep scar, engraved in his heart. During this period of time, he has been committed to restoring the vitality of the troops, carefully planning every training session and adjusting strategic deployment, just to restore the strong combat effectiveness of the troops. At the same time, the thought of revenge continued to burn in his heart. He longs to step onto the battlefield again, avenge his past, and seek justice for the soldiers who died in the battle. He clenched his fists, his eyes showing firm determination. However, facing the bearded telegram, he also understood the complexity. Going south to the Middle East means facing another difficult challenge. He must carefully weigh the pros and cons and formulate the most reasonable battle plan. Marshal Budyonny nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "This is an opportunity." He whispered to himself. "How are you prepared for the intelligence you collected?" Marshal Budyonni asked as he looked at the intelligence staff behind him.

After the last disastrous defeat, he ordered people to collect intelligence on Persia. Just in time it came in handy. "According to intelligence, the Turkish army is fighting in Persia, but due to supply constraints, the Turkish army chose to stop advancing after occupying part of the territory." The intelligence staff said quickly. "Go on, is there any other important information?" the marshal asked the intelligence staff. The intelligence staff quickly went on to report: "Currently, the main force of the Persian army is mainly concentrated on the front line fighting the Turkish army, and the defense in the rear is relatively weak. Moreover, we found that Persia's logistics supply line is very long, and the defense at some key nodes is is not rigorous, this may become The key point for our breakthrough. In addition, judging from the intelligence we have, there are also certain differences in the war in Persia. Some people and forces are dissatisfied with the continuation of the war. This may provide us with information warfare and psychological warfare. provide some factors that can be exploited.” Marshal Budyonny listened quietly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to use this information to formulate a more complete combat plan.
