Chapter 504 Just Setting a Fire

In any country, when there is a political change, there will always be a group of beneficiaries, and at the same time, there will be another group of unlucky people. The change of the old dynasty is like this, those who come from the bottom of society rise up to make revolution, kill those who are already at the top of society, divide their wealth, and complete a gorgeous transformation.

The Islamic revolution in Iran is essentially the same, except that the class antagonism is between the class that strictly enforces the doctrine and the class that has become civilized. After the development of the Pahlavi dynasty, more and more people in Iran have become completely Westernized in their thinking, which has caused extreme disgust among religious conservatives. For example, women can actually walk on the beach in bikinis, which is absolutely intolerable in the doctrine! Women should wrap themselves in black cloth and be vassals of men all their lives!

However, due to Pahlavi's corruption, the bureaucracy under him was seriously out of touch with the people. The White Revolution caused a large number of farmers to lose their jobs, which led to the inevitable Islamic revolution that swept the entire country. In this revolution, religious people won a complete victory. They fully implemented the doctrine as the law to rule the country and suppressed a large number of secularists. Those former Islamic revolutionaries were released from prison. At the same time, a large number of former army soldiers were imprisoned in prison, and countless secularists were imprisoned!

When the frenzy passed, most Iranians realized that the Islamic revolution was just a farce, and their lives were even worse than during the Pahlavi dynasty!

All this, of course, is because of the war! The terrible war will destroy everything. The United States invaded from the east, Iraq invaded from the west, and Iran’s war has never stopped since the victory of the revolution! The revolutionary dividends that deprived the wealthy class of their property were all consumed in the war.

Although there are still fighters who launch suicide attacks inspired by the spiritual atomic bomb, many people have calmed down and found that this new government is even more fucked up.

At this time, the Iranian People's Liberation Army, under the banner of restoring secularism and a truly democratic and just modern country, came back! They followed the Soviets and promoted their slogans along the way.

Eliminate the extreme doctrine! Restore normal life! End the war!

This slogan immediately received a response from the secular class. They had had enough of the extreme rule of Islam! Those guys under the banner of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard were brave in fighting and doing bad things! The country was in complete turmoil, and many people were very disgusted with the current government!

Therefore, when they crossed the border, the Iranian People's Liberation Army had only 20,000 people. However, more and more people joined in along the way, especially in Semnan, where 5,000 local troops followed the local supreme commander Jalali and mutinied! This was the army of the old dynasty. Many people in the army were persecuted by the current government. They were released from prison, picked up weapons, and were prepared to be cannon fodder on the front line. This army had been dawdling and had not taken action, and just waited for the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, and then changed its flag!

Now, when arriving at the outskirts of Tehran, the army has grown to 40,000 people!

The sound of artillery fire was deafening. Not far from the artillery position, in a makeshift command post, a group of people were discussing something.

"It is impossible for the defenders in the city to surrender under our artillery fire, especially since there are die-hard Islamic Revolutionary Guards among them. Therefore, if we want to win in the end, we still have to rely on street fighting. We must be prepared for street fighting."

The speaker was Habibullah, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian People's Liberation Army. He was an outstanding commander trained in the base in Turkmenistan. In fact, before entering Turkmenistan, he was a division commander of an old dynasty army in eastern Iran. His troops were instigated to rebel, and he could only flee into the desert with a few of his men.

And now, as commander-in-chief, he is making his case.

"No, those people are extremely fanatical and incited by religious sentiment. We cannot fight street battles, which will cause us huge losses. Even the Americans cannot win in street battles. We cannot easily get involved in street battles." Jalali, who defected, said: "Those people dare to rush over with explosives tied to their bodies. Our tanks will also suffer losses in street fighting."

In addition to political differences, another reason for their defection was of course fear of death. This kind of head-on fighting was not their strong point. Moreover, Jalali was afraid that once a real battle broke out, he would let his defectors go first to show their loyalty. It would not be worthwhile to go up and consume their resources.

After Jalali's rebuttal, many people whispered that they were indeed afraid of going to Tehran to fight in the streets. In the last battle of the US invasion of Tehran, Tehran won the title of bloody city! Hundreds of thousands of people died there!

"Comrade Korchagin, what do you think?" At this moment, a dignified woman sitting in the main seat asked the Soviet man next to her.

A woman! Yes, a woman! This woman is the real leader of this army! Roxana, the chairwoman of the Iranian Tudeh Party, was the most determined woman in the desert. She was determined to take up arms to resist tyranny. In order to fight for the rights that women deserve, she organized the Iranian Tudeh Party during her training. The goal of this party is to overthrow religious rule and restore normal life!

Now, the People's Liberation Army, in terms of relationship, is under the leadership of the People's Party. However, looking at the current situation, when there are real disagreements, they will have to seek help from others.

Korchagin, the special commissioner of the People's Party, claimed to the outside world that it was a personal act and he served as a military strategist in this organization, but in fact, of course, the Soviet was behind him.

He is the training instructor in the entire Turkmenistan refugee camp. His real identity is also a staff officer in the Soviet Turkestan Military District. He is experienced, and now he is coordinating and guiding the People's Liberation Army's War of Liberation.

Now, hearing about the differences between the two sides regarding the attack on the Iranian capital Tehran, Korchagin knew what these people were planning.

As for what is happening now, Korchagin has already made plans: "We will not use human lives to fill the street fighting in Tehran like the United States did. Damn street fighting, no matter how many people die, it will not be enough."

No street fighting! After all, it would not be good for the Soviet Union to kill all the People's Liberation Army. The Soviet Union could not rule Iran directly. If it wanted to rule indirectly, it needed agents. From now on, the People's Party that the Soviet Union had built up was more obedient.

"Then how can we occupy Tehran?" Habibullah asked. "Once HMN reacts and uses all its forces to defend Tehran, it will be difficult for us to complete the occupation plan."

"We certainly won't give HMN a chance! We will dispatch the air force and use special bombs to launch a devastating attack on Tehran. After this attack, Tehran's resistance will be wiped out!"

Special bombs! Everyone's face changed when they heard this: "Comrade Korchagin, do you mean nuclear weapons?"

Using nuclear weapons can indeed solve the problem once and for all, but Tehran is their capital after all. After conquering it, they will still have to rule here. If Tehran is flattened by nuclear weapons, then all of their people will actually be sinners of Iran!

"Of course not." Korchagin said, "We just set a fire, using a modified model of fuel-air bombs, mainly to kill people inside the building."

Korchagin said it easily, but everyone present changed their expressions and started to set a fire, a fire big enough to burn down Tehran!

"Moreover, this time we can also test the combat effectiveness of the People's Liberation Army Air Force. Using fighter planes to drop these bombs can quickly help us resolve the battle." Korchagin continued.
