Chapter 139 Do Iranians know 2)
Since Yakov was captured, he wanted to rescue him. If he died, there was nothing he could do.
In this case, Stalin was absolutely embarrassed to say it. After all, he wanted to lead the entire Soviet. If he used too many troops to save one of his sons, it would have a bad impact. His son was a son, wouldn't it be the son of someone else?
In order to save one of him, more people died. Is it worth it?
So, Voroshinov simply put forward new opinions. Since he was sent to Tehran, he might as well defeat Tehran. This strategic significance is even more important. If you come to capture Tehran, everything will be over. Iran has become a Soviet, are you still afraid that you can't save Yakov?
"Yes, let's just mobilize the army and attack Tehran directly!" Khrushchev reacted. This was a good idea, killing two birds with one stone, just right.
Seeing the two of them being in high spirits, Zhukov behind him couldn't help but shake his head.
If you look at it from the map, Tehran is not very far from the Caspian Sea. It seems that Soviet troops can rush over in one day, but in fact it is the opposite. Except for a section along the Caspian Sea that is a plain, then to the south, they all belong to the mountainous areas.
The northern part of Tehran is shrouded by the tall Elbos Mountains, and there are tall mountains like Damawande with an altitude of 5,600 meters, as well as countless rivers and two reservoirs. It can be said that the northern part of Tehran has a steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Why attack Ghazwin? Because it is easier to walk from the Caspian Sea border to Ghazwin, and there is a relatively wide road from Ghazwin to Tehran. In this way, Ghazwin is the western gate of Tehran. If you want to capture Tehran, you must chew the hard bone of Ghazwin.
Now, you actually want to bypass Ghazwin and go directly to attack Tehran?
How to go around? There are only small paths around, and it is not easy for tanks to move over! Should we repeat the terrible retreat of the cavalry that was eliminated as a whole in the last period?
Zhukov was extremely disgusted with such a way of randomly commanding regardless of any common sense of entry, but he still held back.
After all, Stalin's son was captured. At this time, if Zhukov poured cold water, his fate would be terrible. The aftermath of the Great Purge was not calm yet. Even if Zhukov made a lot of contributions, he would easily be labeled like Tukhachevsky.
Zhukov did not go to trouble, especially because it was just a local war and it did not affect the survival of the Soviets. At worst, it would be like losing more troops.
Zhukov, who was a god-like warrior, knew not to let go at this time, so he deliberately hid backwards. However, as if he had seen through Zhukov's thoughts, Stalin's eyes actually placed on Zhukov, and then he spoke: "Zhukov, what do you think?"
Damn it! Zhukov cursed in his heart. This was a trick to cheat his own rhythm. At this time, it would be inappropriate to say that he would not fight. Is that he would give up saving Stalin's son? It was not appropriate to say that he would fight. Zhukov could have a foreseeable feeling that if he fought, he would definitely be defeated. At that time, Stalin would put the responsibility for defeating Zhukov.
Zhukov couldn't take the blame. He quickly came up with these things in his mind, and he already understood what Stalin meant.
Zhukov could see it, but why couldn’t Stalin see it? Now, Stalin is not sure, so he wants to listen to Zhukov’s opinions. Unfortunately, no matter what Zhukov said, it’s all wrong!
Countless plans quickly turned around in Zhukov's mind, and suddenly, Zhukov thought of something.
"Comrade Khrushchev, I would like to ask, do Iranians now know the true identity of the captured Yakov?" Zhukov did not directly answer Stalin's words, but asked Khrushchev on the side.
Do Iranians know? This question is really important!
Khrushchev was immediately stopped. How could he know whether the Iranians knew or not? However, the fact that Yakov was Stalin's eldest son was secret in the army, and only a few people knew about it. Iranians, I am afraid that the possibility of not knowing it is greater?
Thinking of this, Khrushchev suddenly understood the true meaning of Zhukov's question, and immediately, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
If the Iranians do not know Yakov's true identity, then Yakov is an ordinary prisoner like others. At least the Soviet Union has not done anything cruel now. Both sides should abide by the Geneva Convention. Yakov will not be abused in the prisoner-of-war camp.
However, if the Iranians knew Yakov's identity, it would be troublesome. Maybe they would use Yakov to coerce the top Soviet leaders. At that time, Stalin would be in trouble.
Now, both sides have put in full force in Ghazwen and want to do a big fight. If the Soviet army turns around to attack Tehran, there will be too many suspicions. If people attribute the reasons for these prisoners and find Yakov from it, it will bring greater trouble to the Soviets!
Thinking of this, Khrushchev's face turned pale. He had left the center of power once because of his mistakes. Now, he cannot make any mistakes again!
The expression on Khrushchev's face was gloomy and hesitantly did not speak. Everyone was not a fool, and immediately understood the meaning.
This matter cannot be made public, nor can it be made public. The best way now is to secretly send capable personnel to rescue Yakov!
Zhukov, who was wise in a hurry, saved his predicament with one sentence, did not offend Stalin, and pointed out that Khrushchev was stupid. Stalin didn't say anything, turned around and slowly smoked the cigarette pot.
"Gazwin's plan remains unchanged, continue to attack Gazwin!" Stalin said: "Beria, come here and have a special task that you will have to do."
Khrushchev's face looked ugly. He knew his position in Stalin's heart and had declined again. He could only watch Belia and went to another room with Stalin. Needless to say, he must have discussed how to rescue him.
Although Stalin had no communication with his eldest son in normal times, when something really happened, Stalin still cared about his son.
At this time, Yakov, who was far away in another world, was staying in a dark and wet cell with his comrades.
"Will these Iranians kill us?" A soldier couldn't help but say, looking at the moonlight coming from the small window.
