Chapter 2811 Layout in the Middle East 2

"Persia's problems are actually related to Turkey's problems. The relationship between Turkey and Persia is not good. It is just because of the war in the Arabian Peninsula that the fragile peace between the two countries has been maintained. No matter which side has problems. , the other party will take action!"

"If there is civil strife in Turkey, then we can completely encourage Persia to launch a war against Turkey! We can provide a large amount of weapons, funds and even combat personnel. We can allow Persia to expand its territory during this period and allow them to enter The two river basins can control parts of Afghanistan. Only when they truly occupy the places that originally belonged to the Turkish Empire will they become mortal enemies with Turkey and will they finally stand firmly on our side!" said Roosevelt.

"This is a good idea, but what if the Germans intervene? Although Persia is very far away from Germany and Austria, Persia is too weak. I think a Bavarian army can defeat Persia! And even if we can use diplomacy or some other means To hold back the German government, the Kingdom of Bavaria has various ways to bypass Berlin, and even the Bavarian Legion's small number of troops stationed in the Transcaucasus can make Persia dare not act rashly," Taft said.

"You are right. Not even Bavaria can be dealt with by Persia. Therefore, facing this problem, we can only take other methods. After all, it is best not to have a head-on conflict with the Germans in the Middle East!" Roosevelt said .

"What can be done?" Taft asked.

"Take Kemal out of the game completely!" Roosevelt said with a smile.

"I don't understand what you mean. Kemal is an important figure that affects the Turkish chess game. You said that it is understandable to eliminate him for the smooth progress of the Turkish plan, but what does this have to do with Persia?" Tav Tuo asked.

"First of all, we know that Bavaria is actually leaning towards Kemal, and there have been very frequent exchanges between the two sides. If we exclude it, then Bavaria will not have a suitable spokesperson in the Turkish political arena. This It will greatly affect their reaction speed and action intensity."

"Secondly, Kemal is a very good military leader. After removing him, Turkey will not be able to cope with the turmoil in the Mesopotamia and the Persian attack. At the beginning of the campaign, we will ask the Persians to control the two rivers at all costs. At the mouth of the river basin, and began to deploy a large number of mines and submarines, this would greatly delay Germany's reaction speed. It would be an established fact that Persia occupied a large area of ​​territory before Germany officially intervened in the war."

"As for the Bavarian Army's garrison in the Caspian Sea and Transcaucasus, this is what I think. We can let Russia and Persia cooperate!" Roosevelt said.

"Are you kidding? The Russians' own internal problems have not yet been solved.

How could it be possible to help Persia? And with their equipment and economic strength, how could they possibly support a war with Bavaria? How could they possibly have another fight with the Germans over Persia? Are they crazy? " Taft said.

"The equipment and economy that the Russians need can naturally only be provided by us. This is something that can't be helped. It may consume a lot of money, but it is indeed needed. We must bear this expenditure." Old Roosevelt said.

"As for why they would take action for Persia and the Germans, the reason is very simple, because we and the Russians have a common enemy, that is Japan. If the Russians still want the Far East, then they must accept our conditions! Because we are the only one Only then will we fight the Japanese to the end! If Russia does not want to become a landlocked country, it must bear this risk."

"As for Germany's military strength? How to put it? If the Germans really want to fight a war, then no matter how we support Russia and Persia, they will not win. But the problem is, including that Rupley Including Crown Prince Hit, none of them want to fight a large-scale war. The territory they can expand to the present is actually close to the limit! After all, they have just ended the largest war in the world, with huge losses, and they have eaten So much was down that it could cause indigestion! In this case, how could they possibly engage in a large-scale battle over an uncertain ally? This would be very detrimental to their country of!"

"Of course, even if they really decide to launch a war, we will not lose money. At least we will keep Germany in a state of bleeding. Their economy and national strength will be greatly depleted, and various internal conflicts will become more acute. , in this case, we actually have the advantage. This is a result that we will not lose no matter how we play. What else do you have to worry about?" Roosevelt asked rhetorically.

"But even so, we can't let the Russians enter Persia under their own banner. They need to change their name." Taft said.

"That's natural," Roosevelt said. “In addition, if we want to implement this plan, we need a lot of funds, which requires congressional appropriation. I hope that in the next period of time you can help me contact congressional leaders to finalize the special appropriation matter. This is a budget issue regarding special appropriations." Roosevelt handed Taft a document.

"$200 million in loans and supplies? Are you crazy? We are at war! And you want to give such huge aid to Russia and Persia? It must be within 2 years!" Taft was shocked by the amount of the appropriation! "If you include freight and losses, we will have to spend almost 100 million pounds in funds and supplies! What is the concept? It is enough for the British to build 100 Queen Elizabeth-class battleships!"

"This is necessary. Russia has been in a civil war. Tens of millions of people have no way to produce effectively. The Bolsheviks' millions of troops lack weapons and food. We must feed them. Otherwise, if we continue to consume like this, even if they defeat the Whites, The army has also self-destructed. They still need to restore industrial and agricultural production, these are all costs, and Persia also needs money if it wants to go to war, these cannot be saved!"

"Actually these expenditures are not that big because they will use the money I give them in exchange for our products. Come on, Taft, we have to do this," Roosevelt pleaded.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I hope your plan can start quickly." Taft said.

"Yes, the first step of the plan, the complete elimination of Kemal will soon come to fruition." Roosevelt said.
