For Buru, this war broke out so suddenly that they were not prepared at all and were caught off guard by the Germany people. Although they dispatched all their elite troops to the front line, they still could not withstand the well-prepared German military, resulting in heavy losses.
Now, Buru's mobilization is being completed step by step, and a large number of troops are being transferred from all over the country to the Western Front. This gives them enough troops to resist German offensive.
The coming winter is even more crucial for Buru. They can use these few months to take a good rest and reorganize their troops. The leaders of Buru believe that after careful preparation, their army will not be as vulnerable as it is now.
Joseph The panic in his heart also disappeared by this time.
"Gentlemen, the Germany people are now on the offensive. However, this does not mean that we have to be on the defensive all the time. We can also launch attacks from other places to make the Germany people busy and contain their power!" Joseph said.
"Comrade Joseph, do you mean that we attack the Germany people from other directions?" Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov both frowned.
Now, the Russian army is exhausted under the fierce attack of German military. They do not have many troops to launch an attack at all.
"Yes, I think we can send part of the army to attack the key points of the Germany people! If we can succeed, this will open up the situation for us. It will also have huge benefits for the frontal battlefield!" Joseph said.
"Comrade Joseph, if that's the case, I think it's feasible. However, I don't know where you would like to attack?" General Shaposhnikov asked.
"Here!" Joseph pointed at the map.
Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov, I immediately understood the meaning of Joseph.
The place where Joseph asked them to attack was exactly the Middle East Persian Gulf area. Here, it has become Germany's most important oil producing area. Almost all the oil consumed by Germany and the entire Europe is produced here. It can be said that if Buru can really send troops to capture this place, it will be a heavy blow to Germany.
Europe is generally short of oil. Except for Romania, which has an oil field with a small output, the rest of the country's oil is obtained as soon as possible from abroad. The oil of Buru mainly comes from Baku oil fields.
"The strength of the Germany people is based on their advanced weapons and equipment. If we can send troops to occupy Persian Gulf, we can cut off the Germany people's access to oil. Without oil, German aircraft will not be able to fly into the sky, and the tanks will not be able to move. By then, their combat effectiveness will be greatly affected," Joseph said with a look of hope.
Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes. Both of them thought that Joseph was imagining everything too simply.
"Comrade Joseph, Germany people should have been prepared. In Germany, they have established a combat readiness system and stored a large amount of oil. In addition, Germany People can also get oil from Romania and Libya. Even if they lose the oil from Persian Gulf, it will not have a fatal impact on them," Marshal Voroshilov said.
"Even so, as long as Germany people can be affected, that's enough. At least it's much better than the passive beatings we have now, right?" Joseph's stubbornness has occurred again.
"In addition, we have occupied Persian Gulf, which can also pose a threat to North Africa or India. Especially India, which is the most important colony of the Germany people. If we send troops to attack India will definitely panic the Germany people. At that time, they will have to mobilize troops to India, and the pressure on us will be much less," Joseph said excitedly, as if he had found a good way to deal with Germany.
"Comrade Joseph, according to the intelligence we have received, Turks is sending troops to the east. Their purpose is probably to prevent us from launching an attack on Persian Gulf." Shaposhnikov reminded.
Hearing this news, Joseph couldn't help but frowned. He had never paid attention to this. However, he finally came up with such a way. If you want to make him give up, it is undoubtedly impossible.
"Damn Turks, they have already declined, do they still want to go against us?" Joseph said through gritted teeth.
Indeed, today's Türkiye is no longer the Ottoman Turkish Empire that defeated the entire Europe. It is just a small country in decline. In front of the powerful Buru, it is undoubtedly much weaker. Buru can destroy them at any time if he wants. But now, the strength of Buru has been restrained by the Germany people, which makes them somewhat powerless against Turkey.
"Even if Turkey wants to intervene, it still can't change the situation of the war. Our army's combat effectiveness is much stronger than theirs. I believe that our army can easily defeat them. As long as we defeat Turks, we can easily occupy Persian Gulf." Joseph said.
Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov know that Joseph has made up his mind.
"Comrade Joseph, even if we can defeat Turks and occupy Persian Gulf, the Germany people will never stop. They will definitely send a large army to land at Persian Gulf. By then, it will be difficult for us to defeat them." Shaposhnikov reminded.
"Even if we can't defeat the Germany people, we will destroy the oil wells there so that the Germany people can no longer get a drop of oil from Persian Gulf!" Joseph said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, Comrade Joseph!" Shaposhnikov had no choice but to say no more.
"Form Caucasian Front Army as soon as possible, and then march towards Persian Gulf! This time, we will take the initiative to launch an attack and make Germany people pay the price for their actions of provoking war!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov both answered loudly.
If the Russian army can really start from Caucasus and capture Persian Gulf, or destroy Germany's oil wells there, it will still be able to play a certain role in promoting Buru to win this war. However, Buru's military strength is already extremely limited. If the troops are divided again, no one can say whether it will be a good thing for Buru.
