Chapter 406 Lower Your Proud Head

Qom, the capital of Qom Province in Iran, is 156 kilometers southwest of the capital Tehran, located on the banks of the Qom River and close to the Kavir Desert. Since the eighth Imam of the Twelver Shia sect, Ali Rida, buried his sister Fatima Masouma here, Qom has become one of the holy places of the Twelver Shia sect. It is the second largest holy city of the Twelver Shia sect in Iran after Mashhad, where the tomb of Rida is located.

Now, because the Iranian capital Tehran is besieged by the Americans, the great spiritual leader has moved here from the suburbs of Tehran, and from here, he has continuously reorganized new troops and called on more people to rise up and join the fight against the invaders.

Now, although Iran's attitude remains tough, the threat to them is becoming increasingly greater.

"Great leader, the Iraqis have occupied a large area of ​​our Khuzestan province, and they are now advancing through the mountains to our east," said Mohsen. "The Iraqis are in high spirits."

How could Iraq not be so imposing? Historically, Iraq suffered a terrible defeat against Iran. It paid a huge price just to attack cities in the border areas such as Abadan and Khorramshahr, which stopped Iraq's offensive momentum. Although Iraq started the war first, they did not gain much from the war, even in the early stages of the war.

But now, history has changed. Iran's main energy is focused on dealing with the Americans, which means that Iraq's attack has encountered almost no strong resistance and is progressing rapidly!

"Now, the United States is still our main enemy. We must first defeat the United States. As for Iraq, it is just a clown!" HMN said: "Do you have any good ideas about dealing with the Americans?"

"Great leader, the Soviet Union recently held a West 79 military exercise with the background of attacking the West. After the exercise, the Americans' attempt to instigate other European countries to join the war and attack us failed. Now, our army lacks weapons, and the Soviet Union has shown a clear willingness to help us. Do you think we can cooperate with the Soviet Union and use the Soviet Union's power to deal with the United States?" Rafsanjani said cautiously.

In the past, whenever such a statement was mentioned, the spiritual leader would strongly oppose it. In his eyes, the Soviet Union was as Satanic as the United States. But now, the Iranian capital is about to be conquered by the United States, and the Soviet Union has been supporting it behind the scenes. In this case, should Iran still stick to its previous policy?

"How are our negotiations with the Chinese side going?" HMN asked.

"Any weapons from China can be exported to us, including their **** tanks and J-7 fighter jets. However, these are low-end products that can only meet the quantity requirements. The quality cannot compete with the equipment of the United States, or even with the equipment of Iraq," said Muhsin.

China's arms exports went very smoothly. After the Iranian representatives went there, China reached an agreement with them to export a large number of weapons to Iran. However, these things were all low-grade goods and could not meet the requirements for confronting the United States at all!

Therefore, Iran must have advanced weapons, and these advanced weapons can only be obtained from the Soviet Union. However, deep in HMN's heart, he has always been extremely repulsive to the Soviet Union!

Hmn's face was gloomy, which showed that he was struggling with something at the moment. No one knew his specific thoughts, so everyone was waiting silently.

Just then, the roar of an engine was heard in the distance.

"It's an American plane! The Americans are coming!" Rafsanjani said in panic.

"Boom!" At this moment, a violent explosion occurred not far away.

"How dare the Americans launch an attack on our holy city!"

"Quick, great leader, get into the air-raid shelter immediately!"

One voice after another kept ringing. Rafsanjani pulled HMN and ran towards the stairs below. This place was not vulnerable to bombing. If a bomb fell here, all the senior leaders of their side would be wiped out.

When the Iranian capital Tehran had not yet been conquered, the Americans turned around and launched an attack on the holy city of Qom!

Artillery fire rumbled, and after the fighter planes' air strikes, the ground troops moved! The American attack was sudden, and only a small number of garrison troops in Qom had weapons, and the American attack caused chaos in Qom.

There was no bloody battle like the one in Tehran. The city of Qom was taken by the United States in just one day. However, the Americans did not know that this battle made the Iranians even more angry and their resentment towards the Americans deepened, which made the Iranians make a new choice!

Turkmenistan, border city of Chacha.

The border between Iran and Turkmenistan has completely different geographical features. The Iranian region is a plateau, while in Turkmenistan, the geographical features become mainly deserts. The two sides are simply like ice and fire.

Qiaqiān is a small city in the border area, close to the Iranian plateau, with complex terrain and rugged roads.

On this day, an ordinary off-road vehicle drove into a small house near the border. This side is the dividing line between the two countries, Iran in the south and Uzbekistan in the north. This small house on the top of the mountain is right on the border, with Iran on one side and Turkmenistan on the other.

"Hello, I am Rafsanjani, the chairman of the Iranian Combat Committee, and this is Mohsen of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard." Two bearded Iranians introduced themselves to the visitor. At this time, the visitor also took off his outer coat, revealing the epaulettes inside, shining like a star.

"I am Andrei, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Turkestan Military District." Andrei said, "I am very happy to meet you two. I am full of confidence in our talks this time."

Of course Andre was confident. The Iranians finally lowered their heads and began to ask the Soviet Union for help. The guy who used to confidently curse the Soviet Union as Satan has finally shut up!

This is thanks to the United States. The Americans actually went to attack Qom! Andre felt extremely disgusted with any place with a holy word, such as a holy place or a holy city, because this kind of belief would turn into a very fanatical action.

Now, the Soviets should be generous and tolerant of Iran, provide Iran with support, and let them fight the United States to the end! As for Iraq? That idiot, let's put it aside for now.
