Chapter 2811： Layout Middle East II (1/2)
”The Persian problem and the Turkish problem are actually related. The relationship between Turkey and Persia is not good. It is just that the war on the Arabian Peninsula maintains the fragile peace between the two countries. No matter which side has a problem. , The other side will take action!”
”If there is a civil unrest in Turkey, then we can instigate Persia to start 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 time and allow them to enter. The Mesopotamia can control parts of Afghanistan. Only when they truly occupy the place that originally belonged to the Turkish Empire, will they become mortal enemies with Turkey, and will finally stand on our side with all their heart!” Old Roosevelt said.
”This is a good idea, but what if the Germans interfere? 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 means Hold down the German government, but the Kingdom of Bavaria has various ways to circumvent Berlin. Even the small number of troops stationed by the Bavarian Army in the Transcaucasus region can make Persia not dare to act rashly.” Taft said.
”You are right. Even a Bavaria is not something Persia can deal with. Therefore, in the face of this problem, we can only take other measures. After all, we better not have a head-on conflict with the Germans in the Middle East!” Old Roosevelt said .
”What way?” Taft asked.
”Kemal is completely removed from the game!” Old Roosevelt said with a smile.
”I don't understand what you mean. Kemal is an important figure in the Turkish chess game. You said that for the smooth progress of the Turkish plan, it is understandable to exclude him, but what does this have to do with Persia?” Taf Asked off.
”First of all, we know that Bavaria is actually inclined to Kemal, and there have been very frequent exchanges between the two sides. If we remove it, then Bavaria will not have a suitable spokesperson in Turkish politics. It will greatly affect their reaction speed and action intensity.”
”Secondly, Kemal is a very good military leader. After he is eliminated, Turkey cannot cope with the unrest in the Mesopotamia and the Persian offensive. At the beginning of the battle, we will ask the Persian side to control the two at all costs. The estuary of the river basin, and the deployment of a large number of mines and submarines, will greatly slow down Germany’s response speed. It can form the established fact that Persia will occupy a large area of territory before Germany officially intervenes in the war.”
”As for the garrison of the Bavarian Army in the Caspian Sea and Transcaucasus, I think so, we can let Russia and Persia cooperate!” Old Roosevelt said.
”Are you kidding? The Russians have not solved their own internal problems. How can they help Persia? And given their equipment and economic strength, how can they support the war with Bavaria? How can they help Persia and the Germans? Fight? Are they crazy?” Taft said.
”The equipment and economy that the Russians need can naturally only be provided by us. There is no way. It may consume a lot of money, but it is indeed needed. We must bear this expenditure.” Old Roosevelt said.
