I'll be on a trip until October. Thought I could squeeze in an AAR update before then but doesn't look like that'll happen. Next post is focused on two individuals -- one somewhat controversial (Sukarno) and one outright amazing (Qian Xuesen); have been doing quite a bit of reading lately.
Also found the paper on why WWII is the 'first oil war' and plan to run through it during my trip so I'll be ready to talk about it in Barbarossa. For those interested: https://repository.library.georgeto...822/557628/Toprani_georgetown_0076D_11993.pdf
(going to start keeping track of major reference material on the 2nd post).
I'm planning to ignore that knowledge until it happens and NOT act upon it. Almost nobody ever remember that Iran was invaded by the Allies during WW2 so Chiang would likely forget too. We'll see what phase of Barbarossa that happens in and work accordingly x)

I don't know if you've already considered this, but once Barbarossa happens and the Soviets start losing, Iran is (usually) forced into the Allies. Which will create a border between them and India. It's a narrow border and probably won't see much action, but who knows?
