The Rise of the Empire

you....... "Pavlov was about to speak but was stopped by Johnson's sharp eyes. After all, in tonight's game of chess, the Americans are the biggest player. He is also the financial backer of the Russians and Persians, and is behind all plans. Instructor, and most importantly, the fundamental reason why the Russians are so obsessed with opening up the passage to Persia is to allow American support to arrive smoothly, so at this time, Johnson's attitude is decisive!

"This is a very complex military issue. On this issue, I want the United States Military Corps in Persia to conduct consultations. After the results of the consultations come out, we will also communicate with your country. Give us some time, okay?" Johnson's attitude is still there. It's okay, after all, once the general policy is set, some details can also be discussed.

"It seems that we have reached an important agreement today. If there is nothing else, then I am going to take a rest and you can do whatever you want." Shah said. Afterwards, representatives from both sides went back to their respective homes.

"Damn the Persians, they actually imagine that their safety is entrusted to us! In addition to fighting the Turks, we also 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 people ! Persia can provide up to 50,000 troops, but we have to provide 70,000 troops! Damn it, do you know how much troops we will pay for this war?" On the way back, Pavlov said angrily to Johnson . If it weren't for the other party's identity and the United States of America behind him, he would have wanted to hit the other party's face with his punch!

Russia's current situation is very bad, very bad! The nearly three-year 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. And now, two years after the war ended, Russia still has no After the civil war has been completely ended, the country's vitality has been drained, and the population has been reduced to a terrifying level. Moreover, they still lack the equipment and technology to resume production, and even lack the most basic food and clothing!

At this time, they had Japan to the east and the Allies to the west. The only exit is to Persia, and the only one that can provide them with assistance is the United States, so much so that Pavlov 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 makes sense. If the Germans find that they can reach Tehran with just one division, I'm afraid they don't need to personally issue an order from the crown prince. At this time, General Kariput, who is in charge of Transcaucasus, will launch This battle. We must let the Germans know that if they want to attack Persia, they will bear a huge price."

"At least, from a military perspective, in order to ensure the smooth progress of our offensive in the Mesopotamia, we must ensure the security 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 between our two countries, we will invest at least 80,000 troops in the frontal battlefield in the Mesopotamia. After all, the Turkish Legion in the Mesopotamia has at least 100,000 troops. .

The Persians have almost no major role other than providing us with logistics. And if we add the 70,000 troops on the northern front, we will need to dispatch 150,000 troops, and if we add some other personnel, it may be 180,000! Now, 180,000 young adults are very important to Russia. Do you understand what I mean? "Pavlov is still trying to convince the representatives of the American president.

"Everything you do has a price, you know? From the outbreak of the Pacific War to now, the casualties paid by the United States have reached six figures, and we have lost billions of dollars in equipment and property. However, in such a difficult situation Despite the situation, we are still helping your country, and our supplies have been transported to your country through Persia. We also want to have a more reliable method, but who knows whether the Allies will give us time?"

"You and I both know that the Persian army is unreliable. Even the Persian government, which was initially very friendly to us, has to use both kindness and power. Your army staying in the north is not only to defend against possible actions by the Germans, but also to Under Persian supervision, if they make any changes, we can take Tehran within a few days. Then change the head of this country, and that's it. Of course, if such a bad situation occurs, the United States will support your country in principle. The border is moving further south," Johnson said.

"Haha, is this a balance?" Pavlov smiled bitterly. The Americans have arranged everything for this plan. Not only is Persia the cannon fodder of the Americans, but Russia is also a tool in this plan. In this war, Persia made its position and attitude clear and gave the United States and Russia a name for trade. And is responsible for logistics and some auxiliary matters, as well as a certain amount of military tasks. The Russians were the main force in the battle. The Americans are the financial backers and provide technical support. The three parties work together to achieve this goal.

In this plan, the Americans will naturally leave behind a backup plan. For example, what if Persia disobeys? The Americans emphasized that allowing Russia to deploy so many troops was actually to avoid this situation from happening. The so-called change of king was ready to be implemented at any time. If the agreement cannot be reached today, Johnson will discuss relevant matters with Pavlov! As compensation for Russia's contribution, it is also possible to consider using part of northern Persia's territory to Russia.

To be honest, the Americans have done a very good job of coordination and balance. It is very difficult to unite the three countries and promote this plan. Based on this performance, the Americans' strategy can already be awarded 70 points. However, after decades of ups and downs in the political arena, Roosevelt's level was more than that. He even made preparations for worse situations.

"If something happens that we really don't want to see, the United States of America guarantees that British India will accept the Russian troops retreating from Persia." Seeing that Pavlov was still a little dissatisfied, Johnson played his final trump card! In the most unfavorable situation, leave a way for the Russian army in Persia to survive!

Although the Russians finally provided a large number of troops in this operation in accordance with the Americans' ideas, there are still sequelae. The Americans cannot let the Russians go to the battlefield with anxiety. This will have an adverse impact on the war situation and affect the war. After the cooperation between the two parties, they must give the Russians a guarantee!
