The Rise of the Empire

"We have considered this issue. First of all, our fleet is limited in size. Of course, this does not mean that the opponent's main fleet is not strong enough, but that we lack ships to perform offshore minesweeping and anti-submarine missions. Due to the geographical constraints of the Persian Gulf, the defensive side As long as we deploy more mines, we can cause a lot of trouble, and besides Basra, we lack suitable military port support. Our nearest large military port is also Alexandria in Egypt, and then you can calculate the distance that the fleet needs to cross. Our supply pressure will be greater."

"Besides, two of the most elite combat regiments of Pashas are deployed in Mesopotamia. We originally meant to promote peace and let them choose to compromise when they realize that the situation is over. We can guarantee the safety of their lives and property. In exchange for the opponent's abandonment, so direct head-to-head confrontation with the opponent is not the first choice. We have to consider the cost of the war, Mr. Colonel." The words of the crown prince on the side were obviously thorny.

It is impossible to say that the Kaiser’s plan does not consider the Persian issue, but it is even more impossible to say how important they regard Persia. The Kaiser’s plan is simply to help Turkey counter the rebellion, and then Directly threatening Persia to make the latter compromise, the Kaiser believed that when the German legions stationed on the border between 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 paid such a high price for smashing Turkey in order to keep Persia! This is the difference between taking over halfway and doing things all the time. The Kaiser has no roots in Persia. Don’t forget that the closest person to Reza Khan is an earl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

However, the cognitive gap between the two parties due to reasons led to different preparations and priorities. The Kaiser emphasized military means, while Crown Prince Ruprecht emphasized that both the military and the government should be grasped, and both hands must be tough! Solve the Middle East issue once and for all!

Imagine that if old Roosevelt's opponent was the Kaiser, then old Roosevelt would have won more than 80% of this game! The old Roosevelt knew that although Germany was slow, it would not stand by and watch the Middle East, so he hurriedly launched operations in the Middle East before the end of the Pacific War. The purpose was to smash Turkey to pieces before Germany reacted! Know that restoring order is easier than winning a war! It may be a matter of an axe to smash a piece of target, but after the pieces are broken, it will be too troublesome if you want to put them together and connect them again!

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 prepared 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! While 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 the United Kingdom to recast the European bridgehead.

It is even possible to strengthen its presence in Persia during this period of time, and when Germany has spent a long time finally papering over the broken Turkey, the Germans will suddenly find that an encirclement network against Germany has begun to see scale, and in the face of Panting Germans, they may not attack Persia, because the Germans are tired at this time, the Americans have ended the Pacific War,

A new Allied Power led by the United States has been formed. After two consecutive wars, Germany will not be in the mood to start a war in a short period of time. Therefore, the Americans have gained a strategic advantage! But it is a pity that the old Roosevelt's opponent is not only the Kaiser!

Therefore, neither the Kaiser nor the Social Democrats realized what the key to this war is! it's time! It's an instigation against the enemy's interior! In terms of time, Germany must completely resolve the Middle East issue before the Pacific War. This kind of settlement does not mean simply ending the war! Instead, let the political situation in Turkey and Persia completely stabilize, and then form 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, it is actually not difficult to solve the problem of internal wars. What is difficult is to establish an efficient government system! Let this country have a suitable leader, and Kemal has done it in history. After the defeat of the war, Kemal had to solve various domestic problems and fight against the invasion of the Allied forces. Afterwards, the Asia Minor region will be preserved to the death. So judging from historical experience, as long as Kemal can be subdued and with the support of Germany, Turkey will soon enter a stable state! This point is the crown prince's core in dealing with the Turkish issue!

The Persian issue is different. It is not difficult to change the head of the government. The difficult thing is how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops armed by Americans before the change! If the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops fought a positional battle with the Germans, it would be almost over in a week at most, but who knows who they can't beat will fight you recklessly. You know, Persia is a big country with an area of ​​more than 1.5 million square kilometers. If it is delayed for a long time, let alone the issue of casualties. The military expenditure alone is a figure that makes Germany very uncomfortable. After all, you are far away from the mainland If the Persian issue is still unresolved by the end of the Pacific War, it is very likely that it will evolve into a quagmire of wars such as Vietnam and Afghanistan in later generations. After all, the Americans and even the British can send Russia in Persia through India. People provide a steady stream of assistance!

Therefore, if you want the Persian War to end quickly, conventional military means are one aspect, and the more important aspect is to make the Persian army defect! Under internal and external attacks, the Russian army could be quickly annihilated. After the new government was changed, with the support of the government, the Persians were allowed to stand on the side of Germany, so that it would be convenient to clean up the mess. Finally, before the Americans ended the Pacific War, the political restructuring of the Middle East was completed.

"Calculating from now, we will complete the communication and handover with Bavaria on this issue within 2 weeks, and then we will complete the military deployment in the Mediterranean and the Balkans and the military deployment with Constantinople in about 2 weeks. From the first shot of the war, we will use 3 months to complete the reshaping of Turkey. That’s it.” After dividing the rights and obligations of the two parties, the Kaiser gave the final time Table, counting from now, this matter will be completed within 4 months.
