Chapter 353 It’s so chaotic, there aren’t even enough weapons to sell! The last time a regimental flag was seized, it caused quite a stir, and His Majesty the Emperor even personally asked about it. This time another regiment flag was captured, and Yan Junliu felt very troubled. 　　It is definitely impossible to conceal something. China will definitely take the opportunity to publicize and boost morale.  So, all he can do now is how to reverse the decline. But looking around, we found that the number of troops at hand was pitiful.  Those that can be used will not have much effect.  The only reliance now is the five Class A divisions of the Kwantung Army. Thinking of this, Yan Junliu couldn't help feeling helpless. Once upon a time, the China Expeditionary Army was unable to produce a second Class A division, which made him increasingly pessimistic about the war situation.

“Your Excellency, Commander, will you report the seizure of the 6th Infantry Regiment’s flag to the base camp?” Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo asked. Hearing this, Yan Junliu glared, what do you mean?  Do you still have to say it yourself if you want to report it to the base camp? He thought about hiding it, but the risk was too great. Once he was exposed, he would probably be ordered to retire. "Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest you keep it a secret for now." Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo advised.  “What do you mean?” Yan Junliu looked confused. "If the base camp knew about it, it would definitely be furious, and it would even attract the attention of His Majesty the Emperor. It would definitely be detrimental to you at that time, and they might reprimand you for this matter. Now that the five divisions of the Kwantung Army are about to arrive, why not go ahead? After they arrive, we will look at the situation. If the battle goes well, the base camp may not care about such a thing by then," Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo analyzed. Yan Junliu heard that this was indeed the truth, and it reached his heart. If you report to the base camp at this time, you will definitely be scolded, and you may even be transferred back to the base camp to serve as a staff officer.  That is a false position, of no use at all. 　　When something goes wrong, I call you to make suggestions; when nothing happens, I just sit on the bench at the base camp. “The mountain city will definitely publicize it, and the base camp will definitely know about it by then. This matter can’t be kept secret for too long.” Yan Junliu sighed.   If it was other matters, he could hide it from the base camp.  In fact, in the later stages of the war, these frontline generals concealed information in various ways.  So much so that the base camp did not understand the actual situation on the front line at all. But it’s hard to hide the alliance flag. After all, there are other embassies in the mountain city, and they will definitely report it in a big way. "Your Excellency, Commander, we can completely refute that this is false. The Kwantung Army will arrive in Jiangcheng tomorrow, and a new battle can be launched by then. By then, no one will pay attention. If the base camp asks, it means everything Normal." Lieutenant General Kobayashi Asaburo suggested. If it were in the past, Yan Junliu would definitely scold the other party, but now after thinking about it for a while, he agreed to the other party's suggestion. As long as we can capture Changsha City and open up the Guangdong-Han Line, if the united flag is captured, it will be captured.

“Urge the Kwantung Army to move south to Changsha as soon as possible.” Yan Junliu ordered. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 lived.  …   Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng's focus has been withdrawn from the battle of Changsha.  As for Yangcheng, production has now begun to resume in an orderly manner. The remaining two Japanese divisions were also being wiped out in an orderly manner, but the Japanese troops were also very smart and withdrew directly to the north of the Xiangjiang River and barely built a defense line with the help of water conservancy.  But these have nothing to do with him, because he believes that the fourth theater can solve this problem.  The issue he needs to focus on now is how to capture Nanyang as soon as possible. As for the incident in the Ninth War Zone, the Japanese Third Division has been severely damaged and the regiment flag has been captured. Needless to say, morale has definitely improved a lot.  Furthermore, Li Zongren also sent him a telegram, hoping to continue the previous cooperation.  So in other words, he does not need to pay special attention to these.  When his eyes returned here again, Cun Yunsheng found that he had many problems to deal with now.  First of all, in the Middle East, this guy Li Si caused him a lot of trouble.  It cannot be said to be troublesome.   It’s better to say it’s a gift.  That’s right!  A substantial gift.  “Are these arms for sale?” Lin Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the telegram sent by Li Si. "Promise him, why not?" Cun Yunsheng glanced at him and said casually.  He would never say no to a big dog owner.  Because they are really rich.  With a piece of cloth on my head, I am the richest in the world. People’s biggest worry is how to spend money when they open their eyes every day.  So Cun Yunsheng figured out how to spend money for them in advance. "But they have nothing and are very poor." Lin Yi frowned and said. “No, they have abundant oil resources. If you ask them to sell their land, they will sell these pieces of land to us.” As he spoke, Cun Yunsheng quickly drew a few circles on the map. "Is there oil here?" Lin Yi was also busy editing the world map during this period. Naturally, he knew that the places circled by Cun Yunsheng were all deserts. Can oil be produced here? Isn't that a ghost? "Of course, there is not only oil but also natural gas here. This is a good place." Cun Yunsheng knew that Lin Yi didn't believe it, nor did anyone else. Cun Yunsheng knew that this place would be the oil center of the world.

That is really a place where oil can even come out of the toilet. It’s just that people are really poor now and it’s all a desert. But it doesn’t matter, get the land in advance at this time.  He has already acquired several pieces of land in the Middle East, all of which were businesses introduced to him by Li Si.  But who would mind having too much money? What's more, there are several indigenous people here. Each family should buy some land, so that they won't favor one over the other. "Shen Zuo, if I remember correctly, you have taken several pieces of land, and you haven't necessarily dug out any oil." Lin Yi asked doubtfully. "Now is not the time. The war is not over yet. Our strength is still too weak. We can only dig it out when we are strong." Cun Yunsheng knew what he wanted to say.  But the current strength is indeed not good. If you dig it out, it will be robbed by others. It is better to hoard the land first and wait until later. "Ah, isn't that a loss? There is a lot of equipment in this batch. There is almost a division. How to transport it is a troublesome thing." Lin Yi scratched his head and said. "From Myanmar, we can use small boats to transport them there in batches. The distance is not very far. If we use small boats, we can transport them a few times. Now the canal is filled with Allied ships. The Japanese navy will not go there. It is not too big. The risk." Cun Yunsheng said nonchalantly. If it was before, he would definitely have to think about it for a while, after all, the risk was too great.  But now Stilwell told him that the canal had returned to the Allied hands again, and the risk was naturally much smaller. “Yes, take a seat.” Lin Yi could only nod helplessly. “Don’t worry, the oil that will be dug out from these fields will be enough for your descendants to eat for several generations.” Cun Yunsheng patted him on the shoulder and consoled him.  What feels expensive now will only feel cheap in the future.  … “As long as we sign the contract, can we sell our weapons?” the Saudi official looked at Li Si in front of him and asked in surprise. "Yes, as long as you sign this contract, we can sell you the rifles you need." Li Si's reputation in Persia is still very loud. The outside world only knows that he is an arms dealer. In fact, he is an The biggest intelligence leader in Yunsheng's hands. Since Saudi Arabia became completely independent from the British army a few years ago, it has been bent on developing its military strength.  At first we were poor, but later we discovered oil. Especially after the war broke out, the price of oil was pretty good. However, this is the power of the Allied Forces. Even if he wants to increase the price, he has to look at the Allied Forces' faces. So it seems to be independent, but in fact it still lives in the shadow of the Allies.  As for the purchase of weapons, there are restrictions.  After all, the British army is not stupid. Such a big piece of fat must be taken back sooner or later. And Saudi Arabia also knew that the Allies would not be able to watch his rise, so when they learned of Li Si's existence, they thought about buying some equipment?   Enhance your own strength.  Mainly because of the rise of Persia, the purpose is for oil. If we knew that he also owned a large oil field, I'm afraid he would be the next one to be hit.

After reading the contract, the person in charge of Saudi Arabia was stunned for a long time, looked at Li Si and said: "Unconditionally transfer the area for a hundred years?" "Yes, we will make a series of investments here. Don't worry, we will not station troops or interfere with you." Li Si nodded and said. Hearing this, the person in charge of Saudi Arabia was confused, but he still signed quickly for the sake of the arms.   After all, the places on the contract are barren land, or most of them are barren land. If it weren’t for oil, I’m afraid no one would be willing to come to this miserable place.  So they really didn’t care about the pieces of land that Li Si asked for.  It’s just some desert, what can be dug out? Can oil still be dug out? As long as they have arms, they have the confidence to defend their territory. “Okay, within a month, the arms you need will be delivered.” Li Si looked at the signature on the contract and said cheerfully. Just after the signing was completed, within two days, the situation in Persia in the north changed dramatically, which made Saudi Arabia decide to continue to increase the amount of arms.  Because Persia is about to be captured by the Turkish army. T-26 tanks one after another, mixed with No. 3 tanks, revealed their clear outlines in the darkness. On both sides of the tanks, there were a large number of cavalry. The Turkish soldiers looked at the land in the distance with eyes filled with laughter. With desire.  Charge over, kill everyone along the way, and rush to the Persian capital in one go! To them, it was just a feast of slaughter. As long as they rush over, they can capture the Persian oil fields. By then, the Turkish army with huge oil fields will regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire.  That’s right!  At this moment, the Turkish army has begun to dream of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.  For them, this is their former glory.  So keep it in mind at all times.  If you want to restore your former glory, you must naturally use military strength to reflect it.  The previous battle with the Soviet army was a small victory, which made it much bigger.  When the Soviet army withdrew, the Turkish army could no longer restrain its ambitions and attacked Persia directly. “Boom, boom, boom!” From behind, the artillery started firing, and the artillery shells, dragging tracers, hit the opposite position. After the bombardment, the Turkish cavalry rushed up, holding their sabers high in their hands, and started killing the Persian army in front of them crazily.  “There are Persian villages ahead, kill them all.”  “Kill them all, leaving no one behind.”  This is a life-and-death war, and no one will show mercy.

This night, the Persian army's forward positions were massacred. At the same time, the leading troops of the Turkish army successively broke through several Persian cities and went straight to the capital.  When they heard that the Turkish army was very close to them, the entire Persian capital was completely panicked. Even though it was only autumn, they still felt the cold, and they started to get goosebumps from the cold. Some timid ones have already started running away, while others with connections have begun to contact the Turkish army, hoping to be treated well. Of course, there are some people who want to resist.  “Asshole, these **** Turkish troops are actually going to attack the capital.” “Your Majesty the King, we must fight back and we must not let these **** succeed.” “The Soviet troops withdrew deliberately. This must be their intention.” Originally, they thought they could sit back and watch the struggle between the Soviet army and the Turkish army. They wanted to continue to build up strength, but who knew the Soviet army ran away at the critical moment.  Then without any opponent, the Turkish army directly exposed its ambitions and headed straight to the capital of Persia. The situation in Persia is now in complete chaos. Once the Turkish army captures the capital, it means that the entire defense line will collapse. "We must not let the Turkish army attack the capital, otherwise we will all be doomed." King Pahlavi looked at everyone and said: "Mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized nearby. We must teach the Turkish army a lesson! We are afraid of them. !” "We must let them know the cost of attacking us and let them suffer heavy casualties. If we are afraid of them, they will be extremely honest and never dare to attack us again!"  Thanks to the fact that I purchased a lot of mechanics before, these equipments are now arriving one after another, and I have started to change them.  Otherwise, Pahlavi might really have to discuss surrender or run away.   After all, the Turkish army, which is supported by the German army, is not said to be terribly strong now, but it still has no problem fighting third-rate troops like Persia. I haven’t seen that the Turkish army and the Soviet army can fight back and forth. “Contact that Li Si and tell him that we need more equipment.” Pahlavi took a deep breath and said. "yes."  … “Hey, dear, everything is in chaos. The Turkish army is still fierce. They are almost reaching the capital.” Cun Yunsheng looked at the information sent back by Li Si and couldn't help but sigh. Originally, he was just sent to be a businessman, but who knew that he later gradually became an arms dealer, and now he has become the largest leader of the intelligence agency in his hands. "I need five more art masters' equipment. It's really like a thousand taels of gold when a cannon goes off. Unfortunately, I don't have that much equipment in hand. I can sell some ammunition at most." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the various equipment needed behind him. Shake his head. He really doesn't have so much equipment at the moment. In addition to his own needs, he is to support the Changsha Battle and the upcoming Jiangcheng Battle. Both sides require a large amount of arms.  Then another division was sold to Saudi Arabia. In this way, two divisions of equipment must be reserved just in case.  So he really can’t take it out now and can only wait a little longer.

"If the Turkish army takes Persia, will Britain and the United States really not care?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully.  (End of this chapter)
