The Rise of the Empire

"We have considered this issue. First of all, our fleet is limited. Of course, this does not mean that the opponent’s main fleet is insufficient, but that we lack ships to perform offshore mine clearance and anti-submarine missions. Due to its geographical constraints, the defense of the Persian Gulf As long as the deployment of more mines can cause us a lot of trouble, and apart from Basra, we lack suitable military port support. Our nearest large military port is also Alexandria, Egypt. Then you can calculate the distance that the fleet needs to travel. Our supply pressure will be greater."

"In addition, the two most elite combat corps in the hands of the two Pashas are deployed in the Mesopotamia. Our original intention was to promote peace and let them choose to compromise when they realize that the situation is over. We can guarantee their lives and property. In exchange for the other party's giving up, so head-to-head with the other party is not the preferred goal. We have to consider the cost of the war, Mr. Colonel." The prince's words on the side were obviously thorny.

It’s impossible to say that the Kaiser’s plan did not consider the Persian issue, but it is even more impossible to say how important they value Persia. The Kaiser’s plan simply states that even if it helps Turkey counter the rebellion, Directly threatening Persia to make the latter compromise, the Kaiser believed that when the German army stationed on the border between the Mesopotamia and the two river basins aimed their guns at Persia, the latter would naturally succumb. The Kaiser did not expect that the situation in Persia would be so complicated, let alone that the United States and Russia had paid such a high price to smash Turkey in order to keep Persia! This is the difference between taking over halfway and doing things all the time. The Kaiser has no foundation in Persia. Don't forget, the closest one to Reza Khan is now an earl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

The gap in understanding between the two sides due to reasons led to different preparations and focus. The Kaiser emphasized that it was military means, while Prince Ruprecht emphasized that both military and political hands should be grasped, and both hands must be hard! Solve the Middle East problem once and for all!

Imagine that if Old Roosevelt’s opponent was the Kaiser, then Old Roosevelt would have won more than 80% in this game! Old Roosevelt knew that although Germany was slow but would not stand idly by, he hurriedly started operations in the Middle East before the end of the Pacific War. The purpose was to crush Turkey before Germany could react! Know that restoring order is easier than winning a war! It may be just an axe for you to break a piece of target, but after it is broken, it is too much trouble if you want to put it together and connect it piece by piece!

The Americans know that at this point in the Middle East, the German military advantage is unparalleled, but no matter how strong you are, how much are you going to pay to restore order in the face of a disintegrated Turkey? This is not only the cost of the army and the economy, but also the cost of time! When Germany is busy with Turkish affairs, the United States can complete the Pacific War, establish contact with Russia to help Russia recover, and reach an understanding with Britain to recast the European bridgehead.

It can even strengthen its presence in Persia during this period of time, and when Germany has spent a long time finally papering up the broken Turkey, the Germans will suddenly find that a network of encirclement against Germany has begun to take shape and face The Germans panting, they may not attack Persia, because at this time the Germans are tired, the Americans have ended the Pacific War, a new United States-led Allied power has been formed, and Germany has managed two consecutive wars. There will be no mood to go to war in a short time, so the Americans have gained a strategic advantage! But it is a pity that Roosevelt’s opponent is not only the Kaiser!

Therefore, neither the Kaiser nor the Social Democratic Party realized what the key to this war was! It's time! It's the work of instigating rebellion against the enemy! In terms of time, Germany must thoroughly settle the Middle East issue before the Pacific War. Such settlement does not mean simply ending the war! Instead, let the political situation in Turkey and Persia completely stabilize, and then establish a new government! And let the life of various countries go to normal!

In order to achieve this goal, the easiest way is to divide and disintegrate the opponent! For Turkey, in fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of internal war. The difficult part is to establish an efficient government system! Let this country have a suitable leader, and Kemal did it in history. After the defeat of the war, Kemal had to solve various domestic problems and also resist the invasion of the Allied forces. Even so, Turkey was at war. Later, I will die in Asia Minor. So based on historical experience, as long as Kemal can be subdued and with the support of Germany, Turkey will soon enter a stable state! At this point, the crown prince is the core of the crown prince's handling of the Turkish issue!

The Persian issue is different. It is not difficult to change the head of the government. The difficult thing is how do you deal with the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops armed by Americans before the change! If hundreds of thousands of Russian troops fight a positional battle with the Germans, then at most a week will be almost over, but you know who you can't fight. You know, Persia is a large country with more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land. If people are undecided for a long time, let alone the casualties, military expenditure alone is a very uncomfortable figure for Germany~www.readwn.com~After all, You are fighting in a place far away from your homeland, and if the Persian issue cannot be resolved by the end of the Pacific War, it is very possible to evolve into a war quagmire such as Vietnam and Afghanistan in later generations. After all, Americans and even the British can pass. India provides a steady stream of assistance to the Russians in Persia!

Therefore, if you want to bring the Persian War to an end quickly, then conventional military means are one aspect, and the more important aspect is to let the Persian army turn back! The Russian army could be quickly annihilated only when it was attacked inside and outside. After the new government was changed, with the support of the government, the Persians were allowed to stand on the side of Germany in order to clean up the mess. Finally, before the Americans end the Pacific War, the political structure of the Middle East will be reorganized.

"Calculating from now, we will complete the communication and handover with Bavaria on this issue within two weeks, and then we will complete the military deployment in the Mediterranean and the Balkans and Constantinople in about two weeks. Contacts, calculated from the first shot of the war, we will complete the reshaping of Turkey in three months. That’s it.” After dividing the rights and obligations of the two sides, the Kaiser gave the final time. The table, calculated from now, will complete this matter within 4 months.
