The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 2885: Multilateral calculation
you....... "As soon as Paplov wanted to speak, he was stopped by Johnson's fierce eyes. After all, in this game of chess tonight, the American is the biggest. He is also the gold master of the Russians and the Persians, and he is behind all the plans. The instructor, and most importantly, the fundamental reason why the Russians are so obsessed with opening up the Persian channel is to allow the support of the Americans to arrive smoothly, so at this time, Johnson's attitude is decisive!
"This is a very complicated military issue. On this issue, I want the United States Army Corps in Persia to negotiate, and after the results of the negotiation, we will also communicate with your country. Will you give us some time?" Johnson said. Okay, after all, the general policy has been set, and some details can be discussed.
"It seems that we have reached an important agreement today. If there is nothing else, then I will take a break, everyone, please do it yourself." Shah said. Then, the representatives of both sides returned to their respective homes.
"Damn the Persians, they actually fantasize about pinning their safety on us! In addition to fighting the Turks, we have to deal with the Germans. And you, and the United States of America behind you, actually agreed to the request of the Persians? 120,000 Persia can provide up to 50,000 people, but we have to provide 70,000 troops! Damn, do you know how much we will pay for this war?" On the way back, Paplov said angrily to Johnson . If it weren't for the identity of the opponent and the United States of America behind him, he would want to punch his punching bag directly into the opponent's face!
Russia's current situation is very bad, very bad! Nearly three years of war has destroyed Russia’s hundreds of years of accumulation, and the loss of territory and population after the war has fundamentally weakened this huge empire. Now, two years after the end of the war, Russia still has nothing. After the civil war has been completely ended, the country’s vitality has been wiped out, the population has been reduced to a terrifying level, and they still lack the equipment and technology to resume production, even the most basic food and clothing!
At this time, they were Japan to the east and the Allies to the west. The only export is the Persian direction, and the only one that can provide them with assistance is the United States, so much so that Paplov once said very frankly: Russia participated in this war in the Middle East just to survive, for bread and machinery!
"But you can't deny that what Reza Khan said is very reasonable. If the Germans find that their division can reach Tehran, I am afraid that the crown prince will not need to personally issue an order. At this time, the general in charge of the Transcaucasus will launch it. This battle is here. We must let the Germans know that if they want to attack Persia, they will bear a huge price."
"At least, from a military point of view, in order to ensure the smooth progress of our offensive in the Mesopotamia, we must ensure the safety of our northern line! This is what you often call the flank." Johnson said.
"Do you know how much our consumption will be this time? According to the plan discussed by our two countries, we must invest at least 80,000 troops in the frontal battlefield of the Mesopotamia. After all, the Turkish Army in Mesopotamia has at least 100,000 people. . And the Persians have little effect except for the logistics for us. If we add 70,000 troops on the northern front, we need to send 150,000 troops, plus some other personnel may cost 180,000. Now! The 180,000 young adults are very important to Russia. Do you understand what I mean?" Pavlov still tried to convince the representative of the American president.
"Anything you do has to pay a price, you know? From the outbreak of the Pacific War to the present, the United States has suffered six figures of casualties. We have lost billions of dollars in equipment and property. But in such a difficult situation. Under the circumstances, we are still helping your country. Our materials have been shipped to your country through Persia. We also want to have a more secure way, but who knows whether the Allies will give us time?"
"You and I know that the Persian army is unreliable, and even the Persian government, which started to be friendly to us, has to do both. Your army stays in the north not only to defend against possible actions by the Germans, but also to Persian supervision, if they have any changes, we can take Tehran within a few days. Then change the head of this country, and that's it. Of course, if it happens in such a bad situation, the United States will support your country in principle. The border has moved a little to the south," Johnson said.
"Haha, is this a kind of balance?" Pavlov smiled bitterly. The Americans have arranged everything for this plan. Not only Persia is the cannon fodder of the Americans, but Russia is also a tool in this plan. In this war, Persia has expressed its position and attitude and gave the United States and Russia a reputation. And is responsible for logistics and some auxiliary things, as well as a certain amount of military tasks. The Russians are the main force in the battle. The Americans are the backers and provide technical support. The three parties work together to achieve this goal.
In this plan, the Americans will naturally leave behind. For example, what if Persia does not obey? The Americans emphasized that Russia’s deployment of so many troops is actually to avoid this situation. The so-called change of king is always ready to be implemented. If the agreement cannot be reached today, Johnson will discuss related matters with Paplov! As compensation for Russia's contribution ~lightnovelpub.net~, part of the territory of northern Persia can also be considered for Russia.
To tell the truth, the Americans have actually done a good job of coordinating and balancing them. It is very difficult to unite the three countries and advance the plan itself. Based on this performance, the Americans’ strategy can already be given 70 points. However, after decades of political ups and downs, the old Roosevelt did not stop at this level, he even made preparations for worse situations.
"If there really is a situation that we are very unwilling to see, the United States of America guarantees that British India will accept the Russian army retreating from Persia." Seeing Paplov still a little dissatisfied, Johnson played the final hole card! In the most unfavourable situation, leave a way for the Russian troops in Persia to survive!
Although the Russians finally provided a large amount of troops in accordance with the American ideas in this operation, there were still some sequelae. The Americans could not let the Russians go to the battlefield with anxiety. After the cooperation between the two parties, they must give the Russians a guarantee!
