The Rise of the Empire

Is there any solution to this military problem? In fact, there is no solution. Even Roosevelt knew that if Germany is determined to use military to settle everything, then it can really be done, but it is just a matter of cost. It is for this reason that the Americans are eager He was prepared to fish in troubled waters and make the whole situation a mess before letting the Germans retreat.

Therefore, Reza Khan's military concerns will not really prevent the United States and Russia from advancing this plan. At worst, Persia will be beaten into a mess. Anyway, once the US-Japanese Pacific War is over, the Americans will have plenty of time and energy. Slowly sorting out all this, as for what kind of disaster Persia will suffer, in fact, the United States and Russia do not care, as long as Persia can eventually become the bridgehead of the United States and Russia in the Middle East! There's nothing wrong with that!

"Your Majesty, and His Excellency Reza Khan." Johnson's respectful words showed impatience. "I admit that this operation was indeed sloppy, and many important unstable factors were not resolved. The German military threats exist. But there is no foolproof plan in this world? Everyone, do you think so? ?" Johnson said and smiled.

"Sometimes, we have to be brave enough to take certain risks when doing things. German interference in Turkey is only a possibility, and direct German invasion of your country is an even lower probability. We are more than 70% sure. It can be guaranteed that the Germans will not directly intervene in these matters. Do you understand? 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 wanton actions! Pacific Ocean The war will end soon, and the United States has sufficient resources to put diplomatic and economic pressure on the Germans to force them to abandon military operations in Persia. If all things considered, we are more than 90% certain to win this war. The result of the war is that the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia were merged into your country's territory. With such huge benefits, as long as you take such a small risk, what else can you and your ministers be dissatisfied with?" Johnson finally asked.

"Some things cannot be changed. We can only adapt or accept it. For example, this war against Turkey. Regarding this issue, both the United States and Russia are bound to win. And as our ally, you have no choice. You and your country can only 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 for the Persian monarch and ministers , then Russian military representative Pavlov is a complete threat! This sentence "Cooperate with us or choose death" shocked both Shah and Reza Khan. They did not expect that the Russians would be so shameless and rampant!

"This savage Russian bear." Johnson glanced at his partner with some dissatisfaction. He felt that he could make the Persians surrender as long as he tried harder, but now the Russian guy's words made the whole atmosphere become unprecedentedly tense! But obviously, it is impossible for Johnson to "correct" his allies' speeches at this time. Turning his elbow outwards and hitting him inward is definitely a taboo in negotiations!

"Your Majesty, in order to show the sincerity of the United States, we can increase the next phase of aid by 50%. The increased part of this aid will be directly at your country's disposal, and we guarantee that 45% of the total aid will be financial assistance.

And we will also send United States troops to participate in this war, of course, the number may be relatively limited. There is only one condition for this assistance, and that is, when our assistance is in place, can your country's army complete war preparations and then join us across the border between the two countries? "

Therefore, Johnson had to play his last trump card in advance, provide more financial and material support, and an ultimatum! Ambassador Johnson's last words were the bottom line of the order given by the Americans to Persia. After the new aid is received, Persia must make a choice! And this period of time is also the last time that Persia can prepare.

"It seems we have no choice, doesn't it?" Shah said feebly as he sat slumped on his throne. After all, he also heard the meaning of the words 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 security of the northern border and the capital, I ask that at least half of the Persian army be reserved for the defense of the northern front. The total defense force on the northern front cannot be less than 120,000! The 120,000 here People must be real front-line troops, new recruits cannot be counted,” Reza Khan said.

"Is this your personal meaning or His Majesty's?" Johnson looked at Reza Khan, and then turned his eyes to the Shah. Reza Khan is in charge of Tehran's defense, and he is also an absolutely senior member of the Iranian army. Therefore, Johnson must pay attention to this issue.

"This is what I mean, we must leave enough elite troops to deal with possible German attacks and the unstable domestic situation." Shah said immediately, although he did not understand why Reza Khan suddenly abandoned Although he made such a request, he subconsciously thought that Reza Khan's request might be beneficial to him. After all, with a reliable army to defend him in the north, the Shah could sleep more peacefully. As Reza Khan is his own imperial guard, his loyalty can naturally be guaranteed. How about keeping him first?

"120,000 troops? You want all the veterans? Haha, does your country have 100,000 front-line troops? So if your country leaves half of the army, which is 50,000, then where will the remaining 70,000 troops come from? ?" Pavlov sneered.

"Russians, I want to remind you that peace must be guaranteed by strength. If we deploy too few troops on the northern front, it will be so small that the Germans realize that they can easily penetrate our defenses with only one division. , then you tell me, why don’t the Germans fight this battle that is very low-cost and particularly easy to win? We must leave a minimum military force to ensure our security, otherwise, if one day we fail, then None of the entire Russian army in the Middle East can run back! You became a prisoner of the Germans like me, and your outcome will definitely be much worse than mine!" Reza Khan said mercilessly. At this moment, he completely gave up his illusions about the United States and Russia. He had made a decision that he would make the United States and Russia pay the price for today's persecution!
