The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2823: Control in the dark
"Naturally, there is. Although I don't have exact information, according to some outflows, the Germans exchanged the lives of Kemal family members with old equipment worth hundreds of millions of marks, and our troops did not get these things. Okay, tell me, where are these equipment now? You don’t think His Majesty Sultan put these things in the warehouse? With these weapons, the sultan can quickly form a new army to make up for the previous losses. "Zemal Pasha said affirmatively.
"Hi.... What shall we do now?" Le Tapasa asked.
"We came to the Fertile Crescent to suppress the rebellion and maintain the rule of the empire. In that case, we will do this thing first. It is definitely not the time for a showdown with the Sultan. We have no chance of winning, and this behavior will ruin it. After the empire, at this time, we will first release goodwill to the Sudan, and at the same time provide the troops fighting in the Arabian Peninsula with the convenience of our ability. Of course, the symbolic meaning of this is greater than the actual meaning. No matter what, maintaining temporary stability is the most important Yes." Zemal Pasha said【】.
"Well, just do what you said, so what about our relationship with the Americans?" Leta Pasha asked.
"Of course it continues, but we have to be careful. The Americans are very insidious. We can take the assistance they provide, but we can't do everything according to their instructions." Zemal Pasha said.
Therefore, on the second day of the call between the two, a delegation went to Constantinople. The two Pasha representatives and the Sultan fully exchanged views and reached a consensus on everything. After a short preparation, The new Turkish regiment arrived in the Arabian Peninsula by sea and launched a counterattack against the Arabs!
"This situation is wrong! That's not what it says in the script!" Taft said impatiently in the White House, in Old Roosevelt's office. "Although the Turkish army has been hit hard in the Arabian Peninsula, their country has not fallen into civil strife. Zemal Pasha, who was already ready to move, also chose to compromise. Let Turkey temporarily stabilize again. And the Turkish army even has the ability to supplement the frontline. Battle damage!"
There is no shortage of surprises in the world. Just in Turkey, when the Sudan and his Pashas got into entanglement and pain because of the affairs of the Arabian Peninsula, the Americans on the other side of the ocean were also very upset because of certain unknowns. The factors or things that caused the situation in Turkey did not slip into the abyss as they expected. A series of decisions and compromises made by the Turks at the last minute made them seem united once again, and then work hard to the outside world!
"If this continues, the Turkish army is likely to regain the initiative. After all, Turkey is an empire, and their enemies are a group of loose tribes. Even with our continuous support, we want them to give the Turks again. It may be very difficult to cause losses. The same is true for the rebellion in the Mesopotamia. All ports are controlled by the Turks. If they strengthen supervision, it will be very difficult for us to provide weapons and supplies to the rebels. Difficulty," Taft said.
"Things are indeed unexpected." Old Roosevelt knocked on the table and motioned for silence. "Unless the United States of America intervenes directly, some things may have to be pushed back."
"Can't delay backwards. The Turks may have suspected us. If they decide to stand firmly on the side of the Germans again, then our layout in the Middle East will be a complete failure. In the next few decades, Turkey Neither the Sudan nor the high-level trust us anymore! Therefore, we must carry forward the plan until the Turkish government collapses and then falls apart!” Taft’s words were very firm.
"So, are we going to intervene directly? Taft, tell me your choice. Are you willing to take this risk?" Old Roosevelt stared at Taft, waiting for his answer.
"What do you mean by direct intervention?" Taft's words were full of hesitation and worry.
"Naturally it is to send an army. We can refer to what General Pershing did during the Boer War and send a volunteer to form an army to help the Arabs fight, but these people cannot have American citizenship. We can recruit from various places. , The United States provides weapons and training. We recruit members of the Commonwealth, Persians, Latin Americans, anyway, as long as they are willing to participate in the battle, we can give them American citizenship after the war, just like French foreigners The Legion is the same." Old Roosevelt's words revealed firmness.
Yes, before asking Taft, old Roosevelt had a conclusion in his mind that it is impossible to suspend the Turkish plan after it has advanced to the present level. Taking a step back by himself means a regression of the US global strategy. The US cannot hesitate now. , Because the current crisis situation in Turkey is due to the disagreement of opinions within Germany. If the Germans reach an agreement, even if Damascus and Baghdad are gone, the Germans will have the ability to restore the original territory of Turkey! So the United States must start as soon as possible!
"Well~lightnovelpub.net~ I promise you to help you do the work of party leaders in Congress. Does this mean that our special allocations will increase again?" Taft asked, "Our recent special The capital expenditure is a bit high, please don’t forget that the United States is at war, and the government’s fiscal deficit is now a problem."
"Don't worry Taft, everything we do today will be rewarded in the near future. In the future, there will be a disintegrated Turkey in the world." Old Roosevelt said.
"Then our actions in Persia are going to be postponed? After all, Turkey has not had serious infighting. It is difficult for us to convince Persia to take military action against Turkey. The attitude of the Germans is still unclear. The Russians also dare not intervene easily. Middle East affairs." Taft said.
"Yes, although we are trying our best to advance these plans, under the current circumstances, the delay of the plan is certain, both in Persian and Russian." Old Roosevelt asked afterwards: "Our affairs on the Pacific Front What happened?"
"Not bad, everything is going according to plan, General Pershing has entered Rabaul, and the entire Bismarck Islands will soon fall into our control." Taft said.
