The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2884: The tragedy of a weak country
Is there a solution to this military problem? In fact, there is no solution. Even the old Roosevelt knows that if Germany is determined to settle everything with the military, it can really fix it. It is just a matter of cost. It is for this reason that American talents are eager. The preparations for a fish in troubled waters, after making a mess of the whole situation, let the Germans retreat.
Therefore, Reza Khan’s military concerns will not really prevent the United States and Russia from advancing this plan. The big deal will make Persia also a mess. Anyway, once the US-Japan Pacific War is over, the Americans will have time and energy. Slowly sort out all this. As for what kind of catastrophe Persia will suffer, the United States and Russia don't really care, as long as Persia can eventually become the bridgehead of the United States and Russia in the Middle East! This is fine!
"Your Majesty, and Your Excellency Reza Khan." Johnson's respectful words showed impatience. "I admit that this operation was really hasty, and there are many important instability factors that have not been resolved. German military threats exist. But how can there be a foolproof plan in this world? Everyone, do you say so? "Johnson said and smiled.
"Sometimes, when we do things, we have to be brave enough to take certain risks. It is only possible for Germans to interfere in Turkey, and it is even more possible for Germans to directly invade your country. We are more than 70% sure. It can be guaranteed that the Germans will not directly intervene in these matters. Understand? A 70% certainty! It is already very high, and even if you intervene, as long as your country can buy some time, the United States of America will never sit back and watch Germany's recklessness! Pacific Ocean! The war will soon come to an end. The United States has sufficient resources to pressure the Germans diplomatically and economically to force the other to abandon military operations against Persia. If we consider it all together, we are more than 90% sure of winning this war. And the result of the war was the integration of the Mesopotamia into your country's territory. With such a huge profit, as long as you take such a little risk, what else can you and your minister dissatisfied with?" Johnson asked at last.
"Some things cannot be changed. We can only adapt or accept. For example, the war against Turkey. Regarding this issue, both the United States and Russia are bound to win. As our ally, you have no choice. There is room for you and your country to stand on our side. Cooperate with us, otherwise a lot of bad things may happen." If Ambassador Johnson still has the most basic respect or face to the monarchs and ministers of Persia , Then the Russian military representative Pavlov is a complete threat! This sentence to cooperate with us or choose to die shocked Shah and Reza Khan. They did not expect the Russians to be so shameless and rampant!
"This savage Russian bear." Johnson glanced at his partner with some dissatisfaction. He felt that as long as he worked harder, he could let the Persians go, but now the Russians' words made the atmosphere unprecedentedly tense! But obviously, Johnson can't "correct" the speech of his allies at this time. Turning his elbow out and hitting it in is definitely a taboo in negotiations!
"Your Majesty, in order to show the sincerity of the United States, we can increase the aid of the next period by 50%, and the increased part of these aid will be directly at your country's disposal, and we guarantee 45% of the total aid. And we also Will send the troops of the United States to participate in this war, of course, the number may be relatively limited. There is only one condition for these assistance, that is, when our assistance is in place, your country’s army can complete the war preparations, and then join us across the country. Is the border between the two countries?"
As a result, Johnson had to play his final hole cards ahead of time, with more financial and material support, and an ultimatum! The last words of Ambassador Johnson are the bottom line of the American order to Persia. After the new aid is in place, Persia must make a choice! And this time is also the last time Persia can prepare.
"It seems we have no choice, don't we?" Shah sat weakly on his throne. After all, he also heard the meaning of the representatives of the United States and Russia. Either be friends with us or be We crush!
"It seems that we have reached the most critical consensus." Pavlov smiled with satisfaction.
"But I have a request. In order to ensure the safety of the northern border and the capital, I require that at least half of the Persian army be reserved for the defense of the northern line. The total defense force on the northern line cannot be less than 120,000! The 120,000 here is 120,000. People must be real frontline troops, recruits cannot be counted." Reza Khan said.
"Is this your personal meaning or your majesty's meaning?" Johnson looked at Reza Khan, then turned his gaze to Shah. Reza Khan is responsible for Tehran's defense, which is also an absolute high-level in the Iranian army, so Johnson must pay attention to this issue.
"That's what I mean, we must leave enough elite troops to deal with possible German attacks and domestic instability." Shah said immediately, although he did not understand why this Reza Khan suddenly dropped He made such a request ~lightnovelpub.net~ but subconsciously he thought that Reza Khan's request might be beneficial to him. After all, with a reliable army guarding himself in the north, Shah could sleep more peacefully. And Reza Khan, as his Janitor, his loyalty is naturally guaranteed, or just keep him?
"120,000 troops? All veterans? Haha, does your country have 100,000 people on the front line? So if your country leaves half of its troops, which is 50,000 people, where will the remaining 70,000 troops come from? ?" Paplov sneered.
"Russian, I want to remind you that peace is guaranteed by strength. If we deploy too few troops on the northern front, it will be so small that the Germans will realize that they can easily penetrate our defense line with only one division. , Then you tell me, why don’t the Germans fight this very low-cost battle that is particularly easy to win? We must leave a minimum of military strength to ensure our safety, otherwise, if one day we fail, then The entire Russian army in the Middle East can't go back! You have become a prisoner of the Germans just like me, and the result of your Excellency must be much worse than mine!" Reza Khan said mercilessly. At this moment, he completely gave up the illusion of the United States and Russia. He has made a decision that he wants the United States and Russia to pay the price for today's persecution!
