The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2834: Tehran Storm II
"Damn it, although for some reason, we didn't deal with the Germans, but I have to say that they are really strong, much better than us." Patton said in his heart. As for Lisa Khan's statement, Patton couldn't refute it, because his current theoretical basis is more than 60% from Germans. Not long ago, he did persuade Lisa Khan to buy some German weapons that could use American ammunition! It is a coincidence that because the Americans do not ban firearms, many German companies also want to export weapons to the United States using American standards. Therefore, in the area of firearms, Lisa Khan’s troops use modified Germans. Department of equipment...
"Politically speaking, we are the garrison of Tehran, the Janitor of Sudan, and the face of the kingdom. In this force, too many Russians will have a very bad influence. After all, you know that the people of our country are against Russia. What is the attitude of people?" Lisa Khan continued.
Lisa Khan carefully studied the Russians who came to Persia. They are indeed different from the previous Tsarist Russia. They have different beliefs and have different views on some issues. They are more combative and know better than the previous Tsar Russians. Obey is more like a weapon! However, this is not the key to his determination to expel the Russians. The key is that they still want to control Persia like the Russians before them, but these people are stronger! They have faith, are more determined, and have a better organizational structure. Many of the bad habits of old Russia have disappeared. And now they have the support of Americans from across the ocean!
Therefore, in Lisa Khan’s view, Persia’s situation and the war before the war have not changed, but now the Persian Supreme Emperor has changed from the old Russia and the British to the new Russia and the Americans. They still have to control Persia, even Persia is thrown into a war with absolutely no chance of victory. Yes, there is absolutely no chance of victory in this war. What if Persia can defeat Turkey? Lisa Khan believed that even for the oil of the Mesopotamia, the Germans would eventually go straight to the front of the stage! Let the Persians and Russians fight the Germans? What do you think? !
So, now Lisa Khan decided to use Patton, this seemingly military iron head to understand the Russian officers in his army. He can't control other troops, so he can only wash his own troops first!
"I will report the relevant situation to the above, but whether it can be passed, I cannot confirm." Button thought for a while and said.
"Then I will trouble you." Lisa Khan said with a smile. "Okay, I think we need to discuss military issues now. Our target is the Turks, but the Turkish Army is under German inheritance after all, and acquired a lot of German equipment during the war. Their combat effectiveness is still very high. So, as the main combat force, I hope that my division can have better equipment."
"For example?" Barton asked.
"I hope to have more machine guns, mortars and 105MM howitzers. Of course, your country’s new 75MM infantry gun is also a very good weapon, and transporting these weapons and ammunition is a very laborious task, so I need A large number of trucks. In order to ensure the smooth use of these weapons and vehicles, I plan to strengthen the logistics maintenance unit in the army." Lisa Khan said.
"I thought you would want a lot of tanks and armored vehicles." Patton said. In fact, the Americans are indeed preparing to send a batch of tanks and armored vehicles to Persia. After all, according to the plan of the Americans, Persia is going to enter the Mesopotamia. Although the Turkish army is weaker, some armored units are deployed in key areas of the Mesopotamia. Therefore, the Persian army also needs to be equipped with some tanks. And armored vehicles. But it is a pity that most of these equipment will not fall into the hands of the Persian army itself, but will enter the troops purely composed of Russians!
As for the reason? The most important reason is that the Americans and the Russians are first-class partners. The Americans need a strong Russia, so they must give some hard goods. What about Persia? They can only be regarded as second-rate partners at best. They are vassals and puppets of the United States in the Middle East system. The United States does not need a powerful Persia, it only needs a puppet that obeys the interests of the United States and Russia in the Middle East! Fundamentally speaking, there is not much difference between the American attitude towards Persia and the British attitude towards Persia before the war!
As for the other reason, naturally the level of the Persian army is too low. Simple artillery can't be done. Give them tanks and armored vehicles? Although the Russian army is backward as a whole, it is undeniable that some elite troops are also very powerful, and at least have exposure to tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft. Persians? Many of them had never seen an internal combustion engine vehicle before joining the army! Not just cars, even trains! Isn't it a waste to give these things to them?
Lisa Khan is also very clear about these two points, so he did not intend to ask the Americans to provide them with tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment. After all, they were given them, and they could not play well. Machine guns, light and medium artillery are used to arm themselves, and a large number of motor vehicles are required to ensure the mobility of the troops. And this requirement is also very reasonable in Patton's view~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, you can't give all the benefits to the Russians and leave a mouthful for the Persian army, right? The military concept proposed by Lisa Khan is indeed more in line with the current Persian national conditions. It is within a tolerable range!
"Your abilities are very good, and you are very good at learning. Your Excellency is definitely one of the best officers in Persia. In order to deal with future wars, your division will be further expanded in the future, requiring more weapons and equipment. Reasonably, you can write your request as a report, and then submit it. I will help you clear the personnel training and material supplements." Patton said. For capable people, as long as there is no conflict of interest, anyone will like it. It's the same with Button.
"If you have any additional needs, just tell me, I know that this process may require something." Lisa Khan said.
"I just helped you because of your outstanding performance. There is no other meaning." Patton emphasized that when a capable person is especially on the road, then Patton is more willing to help him, although from him personally. Said that he has no interest in the so-called extra demand. But others may not!
