The Rise of the Empire - Chapter 2881

“The victory or defeat of many wars in the world is not determined by military power, but by interests. No one will fight a war without profit. The core of our elimination of Bavarian interests is the large-scale civil unrest in Turkey. Outbreak! A troubled Turkey cannot bring benefits to Bavaria.” Old Roosevelt said.

“But now Turkey has formed a fragile balance, and they all want Bavarian assistance, or for sure, in this case, how do we break this balance?” Taft said.

“It’s very simple, we only need to weaken one side! The situation in the Middle East now is a stack of dominoes. As long as we knock down the first one, it will cause a chain reaction in the entire region. The falling dominoes are enough to take the whole The Middle East is smashed! By that time, Bavaria doesn’t have the ability to clean up the entire tableware, and all we need to do now is to knock down the first piece!” Roosevelt said.

“Weaken one of them? To break a certain balance, which side are you going to weaken? Sudan? The Turkish sultan’s control is in Asia Minor, which is deep in the German-Austrian control zone, and our influence can hardly be projected there.” Tuo said.

“You’re right, we really can’t affect the Sultan of Turkey, so the party we need to weaken is Zemal Pasha!” Old Roosevelt shocked the whole venue with his words, almost everyone was stunned by the president’s operation Wasn’t Zemal Pasha personally supported by the United States? Why hasn’t he done it yet, he has to do it on Zemal Pasha first?

“Our goal is to cause the entire Turkey to explode. Whether it is to support Zemal Pasha before or to act on him now is just a means, not an end! Now if we act on Zemal Pasha, the Mesopotamia can be plunged into chaos. And if the Sudanese army is lured to attack, then everything will develop in the direction we expect. Turkey will become a pot of porridge, and various suppressed ethnic and religious conflicts will also erupt, which will be swept in a very short time. The entire empire, by that time, Bavaria must also consider the price to be paid if it wants to intervene.” Old Roosevelt said.

“So how do we break the balance? Cut off funding and weapon aid to Zemal Pasha?” an official asked carefully.

“No, no, no. This method will waste too much time. We must use more intense and violent methods to detonate the entire war. I decided to let the Russians in Persia launch an offensive against the Mesopotamia! In the event of an accident, Russian troops alone could break the Mesopotamid Turks’ defense line. While Zemal’s rear was hit hard, Sudan would certainly not miss the opportunity. As a result, a civil war between the two sides would break out, thus causing The situation is out of control!” Old Roosevelt said.

“The Persian government will not do this, they know the strength of the Germans.” Taft said.

“So, when necessary, we can give them an agent. The Russians are very experienced in this area. After all, Persia is a vast country. If Bavaria wants to work in both Turkey and Persia at the same time, it must be It will pay a huge price, and Germany is now in a state of long competition, and their opinions are very different. In this case, it is likely that everyone is unwilling to contribute to the advantage of others, and the wrangling and decision-making within Germany Inefficiency is also one of the reasons why we were able to defeat Germany this time. As long as we make a big mess, even the crown prince must consider the cost of Bavaria’s intervention!” Old Roosevelt solved the last problem Taft worried about!

There is only one American method, and that is to make the entire Middle East into a pot of porridge, so that Germany can not easily clean up, so that the entire Turkey and even Persia are caught in unending turmoil, hundreds of years of war tells people to forcibly capture one The state is easy, but it is difficult to establish effective governance. Germany and Austria-Hungary are now doing this difficult thing. They are not even making new domestic territories. Large colonies are under development. You let Germany go to solve Turkey, which has become a mess and exploded religious and ethnic issues. This is too difficult, and even if the Germans can handle it, they won’t do it. After all, the cost is there.

Old Roosevelt’s abacus is very good. As long as there is a period of confusion, after the United States has successfully withdrawn from the Pacific War, it can consolidate Persia, an important bridgehead with Russia. In the future, a new country may appear in the Mesopotamia. This country will also be under the wings of the Americans. As for the western regions of Asia Minor and Fertile Crescent, which are too close to the Germans, leave it to them.

In Roosevelt’s view, this was a limited strategic offensive. The Americans consolidated their nails in the Middle East, and then split Germany’s most important allies in the Middle East, allowing Germany to retreat westward, and after controlling Persia, the United States not only It can establish direct contact with Russia, and even use it to intimidate the United Kingdom. After all, the Japanese can rely on the Indian issue to force the British to cooperate, so once the Americans have penetrated the nail in the Middle East, why can’t they imitate Japan? And if it can win the UK, the US government doesn’t mind working with the UK and Russia to complete Japan at the right time!

Old Roosevelt’s idea is very good ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and he actually did so. At least after the Sulawesi Sea War, the U.S. control over Persia has been strengthening. They are also waiting for an opportunity. They were originally prepared to allow Persia to intervene after a civil war broke out in Turkey, but now it seems that Turkey has been slow to start a war within Turkey. , Which seriously delayed the US plan. In this case, the Americans can only let Persia intervene first. Of course, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Persian army is really average. The core of this war is that the Americans send guns and money, and the Russians send troops.

“I’m afraid it is difficult to persuade Persia to take the initiative to start a war.” Secretary of State Lan Xin said.

“If it doesn’t work, we can use some means. Of course, it is not convenient for us to get started directly. The Russians will take care of everything. The entire Persian army does not exceed 6 digits, and the combat effectiveness is even lower. Even if Russia is weak, as long as we have ours Help, then it is not difficult to make Persia yield.” Old Roosevelt said indifferently.

“So that’s the plan?” Taft asked.

“Yes, that’s it.” Old Roosevelt said with a smile.
