Chapter 1366 Russia’s Southward Advance

But compared with the benefits obtained, China's efforts are worth it. First of all, the annexation of these areas has given China strategic depth, strategic resources (especially rubber. // "".com "" novel network //), etc.

Materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood have been greatly strengthened. The cheap labor provided by these countries has also improved China's national economic system. At the same time, the large population flow driven by economic differences has expanded the scope of activities of the Han nationality as the main body of China for the first time.

Reaching such a large scale has created conditions for the final national integration. Now the Chinese no longer say what nationality they are, they all say that they are Chinese, Chinese in Greater China.

The further significance is that the world's great powers have begun a new round of "enclosure" movement. Just like when they occupied colonies, the great powers will not guard against any corner of the world (except for the unviable Antarctica, the entire earth is

It became a battleground for great powers.) New activities of national expansion, invasion, and mergers began.

No, the polar bear, the most territorially ambitious in the north, could not resist the temptation of the warmth in the south and began to move southward.

On November 11, 2035, when the world had just recovered from China's big moves, Great Russia seemed to be unwilling to let others ignore it. It did something that made everyone lose their glasses. That day

, Great Russia announced that during the Fourth Chechen War, Iran and Turkey supported the activities of Chechen terrorists, and named Iran and Turkey to hand over the terrorists who had taken refuge in their countries, and to pay compensation to Great Russia.

Of course, there will be no answer to such unreasonable demands of the polar bear. Let’s not say whether this thing is true. Even if what Great Russia said is true, why didn’t it say it directly at the time? Why wait until now to announce it to the world?

Demand compensation from these two countries? It seems that polar bears are eager to go to the Indian Ocean in the south to wash off the mud on their bodies. Polar bears after hibernation are in urgent need of energy replenishment after waking up.

The statements of Iran and Turkey are completely different. The former answered Great Russia in the most direct tone, this is impossible. Turkey is more tactful, because Turkey is now the only friend of the United States in the Middle East, so the United States

The United States will not allow Great Russia to endanger its own interests in Turkey. However, the United States cannot ruin its relationship with Great Russia now. Instigated by these two interests, the United States supports Turkey behind the scenes, but requires Turkey to respond tactfully.

On the other hand, Great Russia began to work on the request of Great Russia, asking Great Russia to target Iran instead of embarrassing Turkey, and to ensure that the United States would not interfere in Great Russia's future actions, and could even provide

Some help. So Turkey politely rejected Great Russia's unreasonable request, and Great Russia also expressed its understanding of Turkey. In this way, Great Russia pointed its finger directly at Iran.

Since the religious coup in Iran in the 1970s, when the original Shah of Iran was ousted, the new religious government began to implement extremely anti-American policies. Iran has become a thorn in the side of the United States in the Middle East and a thorn in the flesh. If it had not been for the 1990 invasion of Iraq

If the United States had the knowledge to launch an invasion of Kuwait first and was hit by the United States with all its strength, then Iran would most likely replace Iraq, because Iraq was still relatively pro-American at that time, and the United States’ biggest enemy in the Middle East had been Iran before that.

After the Gulf War in Iraq, Iran finally realized that their power was now too weak. If the United States wanted to deliberately deal with it, Iran would have absolutely no ability to resist the U.S. attack. Subsequently, Iran carried out difficult economic reforms and wanted to pass

Economic development first makes the country rich, and then makes the country strong. However, Iran's state system is a religious-governed state, so many new policies that can help economic development have been resisted. On the road to economic development in Iran, we can

It is said that there are many thorns. If it were not for the outbreak of the fifth Middle East War, Iran almost fell in the face of the economic crisis. And Iran also took advantage of this event that the entire Arab world united to deal with Israel, raising its status in the Arab world to

Unprecedented heights. Because Iran also actively supported the war against Israel, it received economic help from a large number of wealthy Arab countries. While Iran received this help, the country's political system also began to change. Religious forces can no longer influence the development of the situation in the country.

Iran's development is finally on the right track. Now Iran can be said to be the most powerful military country in the Middle East. It has more than 1 million troops and can mobilize more than 2.5 million soldiers to participate in battles at any time. If it can be mobilized nationwide, it can

More than 10 million people have taken up arms to fight, and the Iranians' fighting spirit can be said to be the strongest in the entire Arab world. But now Iran is about to face the iron hooves of Great Russia and the sharp claws of polar bears. They have the ability

Defend your homeland?

On November 20, 2035, Great Russia announced that because Iran refused to hand over terrorists, it would follow the "International Anti-Terrorism Treaty" (a new international anti-terrorism treaty led by China, the United States, Europe and Russia in 2018, mainly

The four major countries all have common needs, so it eventually became the most authoritative international anti-terrorism treaty. The four major countries are obliged to impose comprehensive economic sanctions on any country that harbors, hosts, or supports terrorists, and must not interfere with any country.

One party's war actions against such countries can be said to be a quite harsh treaty.), begins to impose sanctions on Iran, and reserves the right to carry out further actions against Iran. It also requires all signatories of the treaty to carry out comprehensive economic measures against Iran.

Sanctions. The war-scarred earth is once again facing war. The United States first expressed support for the actions of Great Russia (this was the compromise condition reached by the United States with Great Russia in order to protect Turkey from Great Russia.), and then announced a comprehensive attack on Iran.

Sanctions. Its two aircraft carrier fleets that have been operating in the Mediterranean also immediately moved into the Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. sanctions against Iran have no special effect. They are more meaningful than actual, because until then, the United States has been imposing sanctions on Iran.

.But the arrival of the US fleet has made everyone in the world feel that the United States has begun to look for allies in the world to deal with the rise of China and Europe, and this ally is obviously Great Russia, which has the same ambitions as it.

Europe subsequently announced the imposition of partial sanctions on Iran in terms of military supplies. However, the evidence provided by Great Russia was incomplete and could not prove that Iran was harboring terrorists (this is also true. Great Russia could not produce evidence that could withstand scrutiny.

To prove their point of view.). Europe is doing this to reassure Great Russia that Europe has no intention of supporting Iran and will not hold Great Russia back later. This is also a fact in Europe. Now Europe is

Planning its own actions, it does not have much power to deal with Iran, and there is no need to offend Great Russia at this time to avoid getting burned. At the same time, it implies that Great Russia does not have the final say in the facts, and Europe will not compromise for fear of offending him.

, Europe has its own way of doing things. At the same time, two European aircraft carrier fleets also began to move towards the Gulf, with the task of escorting the European transport fleet. The European ground forces also defended the place where they handed over to Great Russia.

deployment to prevent emergencies. It can be said that Europe’s attitude is impartial.

China's attitude is completely different. China announced that it does not recognize the evidence and arguments provided by Great Russia. It does not recognize the claim that Iran is a terrorist country. However, China guarantees that it will not provide sensitive weapons, equipment, intelligence technology, etc. to Iran.

And stated that it does not oppose the anti-terrorist war actions of Great Russia. At the same time, China expressed suspicion that Turkey is the real mastermind behind the scenes (this is the reason why China and Turkey are not friendly. Turkey has been supporting the attacks on China’s Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia behind the scenes.

China has obtained a lot of evidence of separatist activities, which is enough to prove that Turkey supports the terrorist activities behind the scenes, and that the instigator behind it is the United States. However, it is not the time to announce it yet. China has no way to directly attack Turkey, so China

Still holding back. ("", watch the latest update of this book)), asking the International Counter-Terrorism Treaty Organization Committee to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Turkey. China has only withdrawn its troops from the battlefield in Vietnam after several months of rest and recuperation.

, and moved to Central Asia, the alert level on the tens of thousands of kilometers of border between China and Great Russia has also been raised to red (the highest level, which is the level that is ready to face war at any time.). The Chinese ** troops also began to launch frequent

The exercise focuses on large-scale group army battles and air force battles for air supremacy in the face of powerful enemies. This is obviously a warning to Great Russia not to ignore China and not to threaten China's dominance in the Middle East.

.In addition, two aircraft carrier formations that have been operating in the Indian Ocean and two aircraft carrier formations that have been rushing from the South China Sea have also entered the Gulf and the Arabian Sea to complete control of these sea areas.

On November 30, 2035, with the support of the United States, partial support from Europe, and the international guarantee that China did not object, Great Russia’s troop buildup in the Transcaucasus was completed. There are 8 Great Russian armies with more than 600,000 ground troops

The troops have begun final pre-war training and coordinated exercises with the Air Force. The Air Force has dispatched more than 2,000 combat aircraft and 500 support aircraft have arrived near the battlefield, ready to take on strikes, support, and immediate response

The mission is to destroy Iran's war command and control capabilities. The Air Force's patrol squadrons also frequently carry out provocative actions on the Russian-Iranian border, seemingly forcing Iranian pilots to take action. The only three aircraft carrier fleets in Great Russia also set out from the Northern Fleet,

After 10 days of high-speed and long-distance journey, we have left the Red Sea and are about to enter the Arabian Sea to complete the maritime blockade mission against Iran. As the vanguard of the maritime blockade, nuclear submarines have begun to monitor passing ships off the coast of Iran and have sent signals to them many times.

The fleets of China, the United States, and Europe were provocative, as if they were demonstrating their capabilities, but they did not know that their actions had already been closely watched by the anti-submarine forces of China, the United States, and Europe.

The pace of war is approaching. If Iran continues to be uncompromising, then war will be inevitable. Full mobilization has been carried out in Iran, and the Iranian head of state also delivered a speech to the country, asking all Iranian people to unite to resist.

From the perspective of invasion, war is inevitable. But no one knows who will win. On December 1, 2035, the war broke out as everyone expected. At two o'clock in the morning (all times are based on

The time zone of the war shall prevail.), Great Russia's air force, artillery, and navy will work together to Iran's strategic command institutions, communications institutions, national administrative centers, large military airports, civilian airports, strategic material reserve bases, military bases, and possible large-scale

The attack began on major strategic targets such as anti-personnel weapons reserve locations, air defense facilities, frontline airports, and frontline artillery positions, as well as targets that could pose a threat to the Great Russian army. The entire early stage attack lasted four hours, until dawn,

Russian ground troops had just crossed the Russian-Iranian border, and the ground war officially began.

But the world's attention to this war is far less than the war between China and Vietnam. First, Great Russia is completely looking for an excuse to invade Iran. Although China is also looking for an excuse to launch a war against Vietnam, but

It can be said that China has done a great job in its preliminary work. No country can find any reason to oppose the Chinese actions, but Great Russia’s excuse is very weak. It can be said that the war in Great Russia is not just in itself.

, so it received very little support, and the opposition was very loud. Second, Vietnam can be said to have been isolated by China’s policies in Southeast Asia. When China started the war with Vietnam, almost no country dared to help Vietnam

Even verbal support from people is pitiful. But Iran is different. Iran’s position in the Middle East and the Arab world is extraordinary. Through its own changes and its strong support for the unity and independence of the Arab world, Iran has succeeded.

It has gained the trust and support of the majority of Arabs. If Great Russia goes to war with Iran, it will undoubtedly go to war with the entire Arab world. Although other countries will not directly send troops to help Iran, with the assistance of materials, volunteers and

In terms of dispatch, the Arab world will not be stingy with the power in its hands.

Therefore, whether Great Russia can finally win the war is still a matter of suspense. Unlike China's war with Vietnam, everyone knows that China will definitely win. What they care about is how much the price China will pay. Third, the Iranians' combat effectiveness is

Vietnam is incomparable. Armed with religious ideas, the Iranians are very powerful in combat, and the Iranian region is also more complex than Vietnam's jungles, with mountainous terrain, intertwined plains and mountains, hills, river network terrain in the south, etc.

, are all terrains where it is very difficult to bring into play the huge ground armor power of Great Russia. (As for the Iranians’ war will, just look at the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq War.) Fourth, Great Russia’s army

There has been no war since the Fourth Chechen War. Moreover, the Fourth Chechen War was only a small-scale local anti-terrorist war, which did not allow the troops to be tempered. The Chinese Army has been in the middle of the war.

There was an eight-year period of world peace, but during this period, China did not relax the training of its troops. It held large-scale military exercises every month to train its troops. And China has been conducting them secretly.

The main targets of military activities are those countries that support terrorist activities of separatism in China.) Although Great Russia has equipment that is not inferior to that of the Chinese Army, it is still a question whether its combat effectiveness can reach the level of China.

Questionable points. Fifth, is Great Russia economically the weakest among the world's four major powers? Is it capable of supporting this war? Even if it can, the impact on the domestic economy of Great Russia will not be affected.

Is it accepted by the people? This is very questionable. In China’s war against Vietnam, China could be said to have spent money to reduce sacrifices. Can Great Russia do this? When the casualties of the troops reached a limit, Great Russia

Does Russia still have the confidence to continue fighting? In the end, can Great Russia carry out China's war method of destruction and annihilation in Iran? Using a large number of killings to reduce its own casualties is not advisable in the Christian world. If Great Russia

Russia is massacring civilians in Iran, so will the United States still support him behind the scenes? And the most important point is, will China let Russia threaten its dominant position in the Middle East? China has sent four military personnel to the Middle East

An aircraft carrier fleet has made the Chinese navy the most powerful maritime force in the Middle East. Moreover, China also has more than 200,000 peacekeeping troops in the Middle East, plus the People's Liberation Army Overseas Corps, more than 400,000. These troops can directly

Intervene in Great Russia's war with Iran.

All the above reasons determine that the path for polar bears to expand southward will not be easy, and it will be very difficult for polar bears to reach tropical water.

On December 2, 2035, the Arab World Alliance expressed its extreme indignation against Great Russia's aggressive actions. At the same time, it announced that the Arab world would fully support the Iranian brothers' war against aggression. However, differences arose on the issue of sending troops to directly help Iran.

, in the end, in order to avoid division, Iran politely declined those Arab brother countries that requested to send troops into Iran to help Iran fight back the aggression. However, the Arab League still passed an agreement to assist Iran in materials and volunteers. Then a large number of troops were sent to Iran.

The Arabs armed with religious ideas entered Iran, and the Arab jihad against the invaders began. In the past, those countries in the Arab world that made money by selling oil (although such a long time has passed, they have accumulated a lot of wealth)

, and later some desert tourism was also very profitable), and they also continuously transported their own material resources to Iran. When facing powerful aggressive enemies, the Arab countries united in an unprecedented way, and they also realized that,

If they want to survive in this world, they must have a leader to unify the Arab world and restore the Arab world to the strength it had during the Muhammad period. This is their greatest ideal. But what they will face is the world's second largest

For China's second largest army, the difficulties and obstacles in front of them are very huge.

When the Arab world realized this, they made full use of the resources and money in their hands to start looking for allies around the world, and their main focus was on China, because the American weapons previously equipped by Arab countries could no longer be used without them.

With the consent of the United States, it was impossible to use it to help Iran, so they immediately began to order weapons and equipment from China, and then used these to arm their Iranian brothers. The Iranians have always used Chinese equipment, and when they are familiar with these

When the weapons arrived in their hands, they were able to quickly demonstrate their due combat effectiveness. China also made a huge profit. Everything that was not needed in the country was sold, and Li Cong had several of them in the Middle East.

The large arsenal and even the warehouse were sold to the Arabs.

On December 4, 2035, the Great Russian army completely broke through Iran's defense line on the Russian-Iranian border, and then divided its troops into two groups and advanced deeply into Iran. Along the Caspian Sea coast, it swept away the Iranian army on the road and kept

The purpose is to threaten Tehran and prevent the Iranians from transferring the troops defending Tehran to other places. The other route is to drive south along the border between Turkey and Iran. According to the plan of the Great Russians,

This force is the main force to deal with the Iranians. They will cut off Iran's land connections with other Arab countries, and be responsible for blocking Iran's coastline with the Marine Corps that will follow. This force concentrates the absolute power of the Russian army.

The main force is also the absolute main force to solve Iran, but Great Russia has ignored one point. The war is not fought however they want, and the Russian troops in both directions are cut by the Iranian army. They rely solely on the Russian air strikes.

There is no way to deal with these tenacious Iranians.

The development situation of the war is changing at any time. Such actions by the Great Russian invasion force almost surrounded Iran's 1.2 million main defense force deployed between Tabriz and Zanjan. Although the Great Russian army did not

The intention was to encircle and annihilate them, but the Iranians thought so. This resulted in the development direction of the war not being expected by Great Russia.
