It is impossible to say that the United States has done nothing in South Asia, but it is impossible to say that it has made any big moves in this attack on Iran. The key is that Roosevelt insisted on the navy, not the army.

Or the Air Force! Roosevelt, on the other hand, was far-sighted and shrewd. The fleet he dispatched seemed huge, but in fact it was just a deterrent force. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was a fleet! To put it bluntly, it was Roosevelt.

It was calculated that a large-scale naval battle would not break out between the two sides this time, so the United States proposed a plan to send a fleet to help Britain defend India!

It is said that the Allies will definitely send their main fleet to fight in this Iran war, so why will the American fleet not participate in the war? The fundamental reason is not the Americans, but the British! The British have no will and no ability

It has the ability to fight with the Allied fleet in the Indian Ocean! It is easy to understand that it has no intention. The British regard Iran as a battlefield that can consume the Allied countries, a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time. Since they are all chess pieces, how can the British

Will they consume precious fleets in the Indian Ocean? What's more, the Germans will not attack India directly, because that heralds a full-scale war. The Germans' purpose determines the scale of the war. It is far from the time for a showdown, so Britain and Germany are completely

We can coexist peacefully at sea!

As for being incapable, that is even more obvious. The British fleet cannot compare with Germany in terms of size or growth rate, let alone compete with the entire Allied fleet. The main force of the German High Seas Fleet is heading south to the Mediterranean.

, allowing the entire Allied navy to unite, and the British obviously cannot bring the entire fleet to India. Although India is good, how can it be more important than the mainland? Judging from the current situation, half of the British fleet plus the United States

How can less than half of the fleet be able to withstand the all-powerful attack of the Allied fleet? Therefore, as long as the German fleet does not hit India's doorstep, Britain and the United States have no intention of going directly to the Arabian Sea to cause trouble for the Germans.

.

Therefore, the seemingly generous aid is actually just a blank check. If the British fleet does not dispatch, there is naturally no need for the American fleet to attack alone. Therefore, the Americans have not invested much this time, but they have already gained a good reputation.

.But this is all in the past. When China and the British ask about the United States' next plan in Iran, it indicates that the good days of the United States being alone are over!

There is a huge difference between sending the army into Iran and sending the navy into India. The latter is just coping and preparation, while the former is to fight the Germans with real swords and guns! So Roosevelt discovered that this time he was blind.

Jump into the pit, and then China and Britain decisively pick up shovels and start filling the hole! It seems that in the face of national interests, whether it is China or the Allies, everyone's moral integrity is equally low. Since neither China nor Britain is willing to face the Allies alone

If there is a military front, then the best way is to drag one more person into the water, and the three of them will block the Allied Powers from attacking Iran.

Under the coercion and inducement of the two families, it would be unreasonable for Roosevelt not to make some statements. Moreover, from Roosevelt's personal factors, he is still a person who can take the overall situation into consideration. In history, when the Big Three discussed opening up Western Europe at the Yalta Conference,

During the war, Roosevelt sided with Stalin and expressed his support for the early implementation of the Overlord Plan. Therefore, in order to prevent the complete abortion of the Iran strategy due to conflicts between China and Britain, the United States must do something. After all, China is good this time.

It is easy to agree to send a large number of land forces to participate in the war. This means that China will eventually get into the same trench with the Allied Powers. Even if it is to allow China to completely join the Allied Powers, the United States will pay some price in Iran.

Of course, Americans are not good people who act bravely. They can send troops, but there must always be some benefits? Even the help the Americans gave to Britain under the Lend-Lease Act in history was definitely not in vain. So this time, the United States directly asked Britain for repayment.

What. After all, on the surface, the actions of China and the Allied Powers in the Middle East are all to help Britain. China wants to gain control of half of Iran from the British. So naturally, the United States can only seek benefits from Britain if it wants to get them.

.

Of course, it is impossible to directly get a share of Iran's pie. China has to spend a lot of money for this piece of pie, not to mention that it has already begun to control northern Iran. It is impossible for the United States to get involved. But if it takes over the south, it will have to

It would take enough capital to spend. Although Roosevelt had decided to let the U.S. military participate in the land war in Iran, he was not determined to spend a lot of money. In this case, there would naturally be no benefits on the mainland. Therefore, the Americans consciously asked the British to participate in the land war in Iran.

Certain compensation will be given for economic and trade purposes, rights and interests on some islands, and sharing of military facilities.

After some wrangling and calculations, the United States was finally dragged into the battlefield in Iran by China and Britain. Now, China can finally discuss the future war situation in Iran with Britain and the United States!

"First of all, we agree that all coastal provinces of Iran can be abandoned as appropriate, but there is a problem of limit and time. It is impossible for the Chinese army to face enemies from both directions in the west and south at the same time, so the United States and Britain

The Army must resolutely block the Allies' attack in the northern part of Iran's Khuzestan Province. At least until we defeat the enemy in person, you cannot withdraw from Lorestan Province. We will invest at least 100,000 more Army troops in western Iran, and we will also

We have a large number of aviation and other troops. Coupled with the troops that are constantly rushing to Iran through the Caspian Sea route, we not only have the possibility to block the opponent, but also even attack the oil town of Kirkuk in northern Iraq." When it comes to action.

It's time to get serious, Xu Jie will never be stingy with capital!

"Your country doesn't have to worry about retreat at all. Even if we cannot hold the northern part of Iran in the end, we can still retreat to Central Asia through the Caspian Sea and then enter China. If the northern front is facing the German army, then I think the British and American armies will deal with it.

The Turkish and Austro-Hungarian troops should be fine? If we are facing the Turkish army, we can defeat the frontal enemy with the Iranian army in up to 2 weeks. At least two integrated armored divisions will participate in the offensive campaign. This is China

A guarantee to the Allied Powers!" Xu Jie said with confidence. This time it was no joke, it was going to be written into the meeting memorandum!

"If the Iranian government is overthrown or cannot control the situation across the country, the British Empire's troops in India will be stationed in Sistan and Baluchestan. I hope the Iranian government can provide certain support." Regarding the arrangements for the army, Churchill did not

There are too many ideas. China's plan is still relatively realistic. It does not allow the British and American armies to maintain a defense line running through the north and south, but only needs to protect the Chinese flank. The British and American armies are backed by the Chinese flank. In the future, the Chinese army will provide

While protecting, China has also become a back-up for the British and American troops. In the documents just submitted, China expressed its willingness to provide fuel, food and other general supplies to the British, which has also greatly reduced the pressure on the British and American troops.

The only thing that worries the UK now is whether it can control the southeastern provinces of Iran to increase India's strategic depth when Iran collapses. Regarding this question, Xu Jie's answer is that it can do so in extraordinary times, but the premise is

The territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Iran must be recognized and must be returned to Iran after the war. The British thought about it, which was not bad. Anyway, it was still early for the war to end, so they should hold it in their hands first, so the British agreed readily.

However, with the changes in the battle lines of the British and American armies, the deployment of the air force has also become a problem. The British and American troops in the Middle East and South Asia have been divided into two parts. One part is the British and American armies stationed in India. They can naturally obtain the British and American troops.

What about the support of the air force stationed in India, and what about the British and American air forces responsible for covering the Chinese flank in western Iran? It is difficult for British and American aircraft taking off from India to support the British and American troops stationed in Iraq thousands of miles away, unless part of the air force is directly transferred to western Iran.

This requires China and Iran to provide airports, fuel supplies and various accessories. It also involves the issue of command authority. It is naturally impossible to want the Chinese Air Force to support the United States and Britain. But can the United States and Britain listen to China? Obviously it is not realistic.

, you must know that in history, the strategic bombing of Germany by the United States and Britain in World War II only coordinated the attack targets, and then the American imperialists bombed during the day, and the British imperialists bombed each other at night.

After some negotiations, China and the Allied Powers came up with a compromise plan like this. Fighters, attack aircraft and twin-engine bombers could be left to the British and American command, but various types of electronic warfare aircraft, heavy bombers and transport aircraft

They must be centralized and under the unified command of the Theater Air Force Command. This is because the number of these aircraft is relatively small, and a certain number is required to exert strong combat effectiveness. At the same time, these aircraft also need additional cover when dispatched, so the deployment

It will be more troublesome. In northern Iran, the Chinese Air Force is the absolute main force and can provide cover for these special aircraft. Moreover, these aircraft have relatively high requirements for ground support and need to be deployed concentratedly at several large airports. These large airports must be composed of

The Chinese Air Force is in charge, so from the perspective of application, daily maintenance, and safety, it is undoubtedly the best choice to hand these aircraft over to China for unified arrangements.

And just when China and the United States and Britain began to cooperate substantively on the Iranian issue, the Allies were not idle either. The heads of the German Army had already begun to formulate future strategies. The Germans discovered that because of the large-scale actions of certain countries

Intervention, Germany's original low-cost solution seems to be somewhat unworkable!
