The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2880: Dominoes
In the end, when the intelligence on Christmas Island has been proved to be more accurate, the American maritime transportation system has gradually emerged in the eyes of the British and Japanese navies. They can already have a more accurate ability to intercept a certain transport fleet, and the rest Just be accurate and elementary and choose the right prey!
Just as Britain and Japan took the long knives in their hands and looked at the blood vessels of the Americans, considering where to start to let their opponents keep more blood, the bigwigs in Washington at this time did not realize the unusual counterattack from the Japanese navy. Coming soon! At this time, they were still immersed in the army’s offensive on the island of New Guinea, while the Japanese navy was still shrunk in the joy of the distant Philippines. On the surface, at this time the Americans did have an advantage in the Pacific War, but lacked Americans with experience in the war also have reason to believe that the pattern of future wars will develop according to their vision.
Is it strange? In order to deal with this war, the Americans did their best on the tactical level, but on the strategic level, the Americans are a little too confident, or arrogant may be more accurate. Does this conflicting sense of contradiction let Accident?
How do you say this question? In fact, from the perspective of rational analysis, when a person or a group has formulated a very complex and reasonable plan, and this plan allows things to develop rapidly in the direction of their imagination, a kind of carry will occur. Or blind optimism. There are many things in the world that have a very good start, but in the end they collapsed because of some problems.
Things are not static. Although a good plan can eliminate as many unfavorable factors as possible before it happens, it is not absolute after all. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the frequent adjustment of the plan during the battle? For Americans, after underestimating the wisdom of the British tempered in the Great War, after the smooth operation in the previous period, it is natural to have a blind optimism, such as history. This was the case when Shang Moustache had a big win in the early days of the Barbarossa plan. And Americans have a very similar mentality.
As a result, Roosevelt, who thought he had freed his hands, also set his goal in other directions. The American Bald Eagle not only stared at the Pacific Ocean, it also stared at other parts of the world. Compared with the Pacific War, which is currently progressing smoothly, the pace of progress of the Americans in the Middle East seems a bit bad. Because the large-scale civil war in Turkey that the Americans expected has never been fought. Even though the Americans gave Zemal Pasha a lot of support, they still did not officially declare war on Sudan. There seems to be a special balance between Sudan and Pasha. The two maintain their rule in their respective control areas, and at the same time they have adopted a mutually coordinated policy when dealing with the enemies of the Arabian Peninsula. This is to allow the Americans Unexpected, and absolutely unacceptable!
If Turkey does not fight a civil war, how can the Americans achieve their goal of fragmenting Turkey? If Turkey does not fight a civil war, the Americans will eventually pull Persia into their camp? And if Persia cannot stand on its side, how can the United States establish a stable channel connecting with Russia? This is all a problem! Therefore, in the view of Old Roosevelt, the Turkish Civil War must break out as soon as possible!
"There are many reasons for the failure of the plan. The Arab offensive is naturally the reason why the Turks temporarily suppressed the controversy and unanimous foreign affairs, but more importantly, since Sudan received military aid from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With a lot of confidence, Zemal Pasha’s army did not have the advantage, so they hesitated a bit. Judging from the current situation, the Germans seem to have no intention of completely abandoning Turkey. They always maintain a kind of internal Balance, and then wait for the moment." Taft said.
"How are the German military preparations in the Balkans?" Old Roosevelt frowned.
"The Balkans is under the control of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Here, Berlin can hardly interfere. At the same time, Berlin has not recently communicated with Bavaria on related matters, but the Prussian army has not moved. It does not mean that Bavaria is sitting idly by. A few months ago, General von Seckert, who served in the Bavarian Army, went to the Balkans. His mission was to unite the two armies there. From the information we have so far, he seems to have completed the relevant work. The movement of the Austro-Hungarian Navy is also debatable. Just half a month ago, almost all capital ships entered the shipping service for repairs. This may be to prepare for future operations.” An officer said.
"I knew it would be like this! I knew that our old opponent would not give up Turkey, he must be preparing something." Old Roosevelt said with some annoyance after listening, and the mental excitement made his followers even more. Surprised, but only the people who know the most know the reason, because in the more than 20 years of exchange and confrontation between the old Roosevelt and the crown prince, the president of the United States of America has never won even once! Only the person involved will truly understand this feeling of an old enemy.
"I know what he is thinking. He is balancing the contradictions in Turkey to consider the one that receives the most rewards from the two. Then he will use the overwhelming military power of Bavaria to kill the other one~www.mtlnovel. com~ and then turned the entire Turkey into its own vassal. His legion is already waiting for it, compared to whether it is Sultan or Zemal Pasha, when and at what price are they thinking about losing their sincerity to the crown prince?" Old Roosevelt said . "We can't let them do this, we must destroy it all!"
"Your Excellency, it is impossible for us to take military actions tit-for-tat against the Germans in the far East under the current circumstances. This is a very dangerous thing." At this meeting, even Taft, who is extremely hostile to Germany Some can't stand it anymore.
"What? Directly hostile to the Germans? Have I said anything like this?" Roosevelt said with a smile: "The Bavarian Legion is not afraid of any armed forces in Turkey, so it is impossible to convince the other party to submit by military means. But Bavaria In the end, I still want a Turkey that is obedient and can continue to provide benefits for it, not a messy, broken into pieces, not only unable to provide benefits, but also Bavaria's continuous blood transfusion!"
