Chapter 155: The Indian Question

Ribbintrov said it very simply.

If Germany's role in the Soviet-Finn War was disgraceful, Germany could definitely intervene in the Iran War.

Because the Soviet Union was the ignorant side, the Soviet Union launched an attack on Iran without any signs or excuses. This was simply the most shameless act.

The Soviets were disgraceful.

Moreover, the Iranians have the same bloodline as Germany. The Germans are German friends because of Iran. In this case, it is unreasonable for Germany to help Iran. Even if it is just because of this incident, they will never regret it.

Ribintrov looked at Molotov: "If it's for this matter, don't waste our time with each other."

In one sentence, Molotov was blocked with nothing to say, what to protest? Protesting that Germany encouraged Iran to fight, did not allow the Soviets to occupy Iran? Did not enter Tehran and subvert the Iranian royal family?

These are the logic of robbers. If you want to be a qualified robber, you must at least have a record. Now, what the Soviet Union lacks is the record. What can you compare with the Germans?

Molotov was immediately discouraged from his momentum.

Now, he already knows the bottom line of the Germans. The Germans will not give up their support for Iran. Even if the two countries fight each other, the two most powerful countries on the Eurasian continent will enter a state of war!

Then, before coming, Stalin's words could not be said. Saying them would be equivalent to declaring war, which made Molotov very embarrassed. Of course, he knew what benefits would it be for the Soviet Union to declare war in a hurry before the plan of the thunderstorm was prepared?

After swallowing a mouthful of foam, Molotov still didn't know what to say.

"If the Soviet Union is willing to withdraw its troops, we will ask the Iranian side to let the Soviet army go back. At the same time, those soldiers captured by Iran can also be sent back according to the prisoner exchange agreement, including the young man named Yakov, which can be exchanged." Ribintrov continued.

Hearing this sentence, Molotov suddenly rippled in his heart. It seemed that Germany had no intention of breaking up with the Soviet Union, and the Germans still had compromises.

Ghazwin, the Soviet army was surrounded, and the Soviet Union was in a dilemma. Now, Germany promised that if the Soviet Union decided to withdraw, it could open up the passage and let the Soviets go, and prisoners could be exchanged, especially Yakov!

Now, the capture of Yakov is an open secret. Under the hype of the Iranians, almost everyone knows that Stalin's son was captured by Iran.

From this perspective, it should be the best choice for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, which is difficult to survive, can preserve its own strength and exchange Stalin's son back.

But, in this case, what did the Soviets get?

After more than a month of preparation, after half a month of war, more than 10,000 casualties, and several military cities were destroyed. What result did the Soviets finally get? Return to their original place and maintain the same status. What is the significance of the sacrifice of Soviet soldiers?

After a long time, the Soviet Union suffered numerous casualties and was in vain. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Soviet Union had failed!

Molotov knew that such a result would not satisfy Stalin, but the Germans were already very powerful in doing so.

At least, the Germans did not make things difficult for war compensation. If the Soviets retreated and the Germans wanted to ask for some money, then would the Soviets give it or not?

National interests are not to be compromised, and Molotov still feels very embarrassed.

"It is not impossible for the Soviets to get a passage into the Indian Ocean, but Moscow's gaze is too short-sighted." At this moment, Ribbentrop spoke again: "It really hurts us to think of the intimacy we had in Poland in the past. We could have cooperated, but we almost entered a state of hostility."

This confused Molotov: "Mr. Ribintrov, can you say it more clearly?"

"Now, George VI and Churchill have fled to the Indian colony." Ribbentrop said: "We are looking forward to bringing these traitors to justice, but now our troops have reached the limit, and India's territory is too large."

Speaking of this, Molotov suddenly reacted and secretly scolded Khrushchev for being stupid. Indeed, why did he do something in Iran and go directly to India?

Germany's troops have indeed reached its limit. After attacking Iraq, such a huge area of ​​North Africa and the Middle East will take several years to digest. The Germans can no longer concentrate their efforts to advance to the South Asian subcontinent.

Churchill and his gang are now resisting in India, trying to return to Europe. As an old colony, India is indeed very loyal to the British.

Moreover, George VI promised to hand over India to the Soviets. No matter from any perspective, India should have the share of the Soviets!

Now, have the Germans promised to give up India's interests?

"India is too large," said Ribbintrov. "It is not in our interests to have such a huge country. It is best to split the Indian subcontinent into several countries to be more in line with our interests. I wonder if Moscow is interested in India."

"Can I see this as your invitation? Just like it was for Poland?" Molotov asked.

If the Germans on the surface agreed to the Soviet Union invade India and then secretly tamper with it, the Soviet Union would suffer a great loss. How could the same trick continue to go on the ground?

"Of course," Ribbintrov said.

"I'm sorry, I still don't understand." Molotov said: "Wouldn't it be better to leave it to Edward VIII?"

After all, in the UK, there is also the puppet Edward VIII built by Germany! The Indian subcontinent belongs to Edward VIII, that is, to the Germans. Why should we separate and let the Soviets benefit?

"Because a strong Britain is not in our interests." Ribbentrop said it very clearly, and Molotov quickly understood that although Germany annexed Britain, he still did not want Britain to be strong, for fear that the people of these colonies would eventually start a rebellion because of their longing and support for Britain.

In this way, it is a good way to separate India and manage it.
