The third ground war in World War II, the Middle East War has attracted much attention.

Interestingly, because on the mainland battlefield, the warring sides invested tens of thousands of troops to the United States and Russia, and the third round of offensive battles was carried out by the intensive group coalition forces. The Kama River flowed through Perm from the northern battle code-named "Kama Torrent", which was the main tributary of the Volga River and the southern battle code-named "Pripiat. The Pripiat River is the main tributary of the Dijebe River. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is in full swing on this river. Therefore, the Middle East War did not receive much attention.

Of course, this has no substantial relationship with the importance of the Fengdong War.

In the war situation at that time, how important was the Middle East War? Because the Middle East is relatively narrow. Moreover, the north of the battlefield is the mountainous Asia Minor, and the south is the Yongdan. The battlefield suitable for large corps combat is less than 40,000 square kilometers, so the ground troops can be accommodated are very limited, so the importance of this war cannot be measured by the forces used by both sides. Objectively speaking, the commanders of both sides on the Middle East battlefield can prove the importance of this war. The commanders of the US military are not Stey, who has a bad personality.

Germany is Almer, who is both wise and brave. According to the personnel files of the US Army, before the outbreak of the Middle East War, Almer was responsible for the operational deployment of the Middle East War theatre in Moscow. Steed continued to command the US military on the Russian battlefield in Turkey, that is, Duchway asked Almer to go to Moscow, but was just a suspicion of the military strategy. Compared with the US Army's fear of seeing the light of day, the Republic Army was much more direct. From the beginning to the end, it was Army General Li Dongshi who commanded the Republic's troops to fight on the Middle East battlefield.

What kind of general is Li Dongshi? I have given a lot of introductions before, so I will no longer talk about it. When the South Asian War Zone was divided, that is, when the Middle East War Zone was established, Pei Chengyi, then the deputy head of the Republic, did not use older generals like Su Jinhui, but instead allowed Li Dongshi, who was only aged 10 years old, to become the commander of the war zone as a lieutenant general, to be promoted to the army general shortly afterwards. The main reason is that Li Dongshi was the most stable of his generation of generals. He also had the most outstanding ability to make decisions in the face of danger.

It can be seen from the war zone lice orders appointed by both sides. On the Middle East battlefield, both sides’ bottom lines are undefeated.

To put it bluntly, it is to give priority to ensuring no failure and then consider how to win.

This guiding ideology determines the basic situation of the Middle East War.

From the perspective of the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides, the Middle East war can be divided into three stages. From the standpoint of the Republic, it is the "strategic defense stage" of the active attack of the US-Turkey coalition forces. The "strategic stalemate" of the two sides frequently launch small-scale battles to consume the opponent's live force in order to fight for the initiative and the "strategic counter-offensive stage of actively launching an offensive after the intensive group coalition forces seize the initiative.

There is no doubt that the first stage of the year is in its seldom.

Objectively speaking, Turkey joined the Siego Group before the war broke out, and Israel announced that it would join the Siego Group after the outbreak of the Middle East War. According to the information obtained after the war, when the war broke out, there were many US troops who had arrived or were about to reach the Middle East battlefield. The ground forces had a total of 10,000 to 10,000, and the specific forces of some combat troops adapted from the National Guard were not clear. Some were overweight, while others were less than 80,000; the total force of the IDF was about 10,000, of which the ground forces would not be less than 10,000; the total force of the Turkish National Army was more than 10,000, of which the ground forces were nearly 10,000. Even if the local defense forces were eliminated, the Siego Group could still invest more than 40,000 ground forces. The total force was at least 10,000, and the military strength of Malta was very small and completely negligible.

Of course, after the attack began, the SIO Group coalition forces had more than ten thousand troops. Even according to the most conservative estimate, when the SIO Group coalition forces stopped their large-scale attack, the combat troops invested by the United States, Israel and Turkey were thrown ten thousand, blade ten thousand and sold ten thousand respectively, with a total force of more than ten thousand.

Similarly, the intensive group coalition forces invested very amazingly.

When the Middle East War broke out, the total force of the Republic's Middle East War Zone was 10,000, of which ground troops accounted for 10,000, 3 main combat units and 3 reserve combat units, and all were full. The total force of the Iranian Defense Force was 10,000, and the total force of the Iraqi Defense Force was 10,000, and Iraq declared war on Russia and the United States at the beginning of the year. It also carried out national military mobilization, but the mobilization efficiency was not high. The total force of the Syrian Defense Force was between 10,000 and 10,000, Syria did not participate in the war as the allies of the Republic after the outbreak of the war. Therefore, only the newly added security threats were added, and some reserve officers and soldiers were properly mobilized. The total force of the Kurdistan People's Liberation Army was 10,000,000,

Even considering that Iran and Iraq have sent troops to the Russian battlefield, there will not be many troops left at home, and most of the Kurdistan PLA troops are armed militias, the intensive group coalition forces in this direction are also between 10,000 and 10,000. During the war, in addition to the Republic's increase in troops to the overall situation of the Middle East battlefield, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Kurdistan all carried out comprehensive military mobilizations. According to relevant information, before entering the strategic stalemate, the Republic increased troops to the Middle East battlefield several times, and several allies mobilized more than 10,000 combat personnel, plus reinforcements from other allies, so the intensive group coalition forces on the Middle East battlefield were as high as 10,000.

On a battlefield with an area of ​​less than 40,000 square kilometers, the two sides invested more troops than

!

What is this concept?

You should know that even on the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, the total force invested by both sides was only very good, not including the millions of Soviet troops that were annihilated by the German army in the early stage of the war, as well as the armed forces behind enemy lines mobilized by both sides. The total area of ​​the Soviet-German battlefield was nearly 10,000 square kilometers. More importantly, this was only the first stage of the Middle East War, that is, the combat troops invested by both sides within a few months.

Correspondingly, the Soviet-German War of World War II lasted for nearly four years. If measured by the combatants per unit time, the military strength in the first phase of the Middle East War was 20 times that of the Khad War, which was the largest military density in human history.

Of course, the actual situation is not so "bad"

Behind the huge investment of troops is the same huge comparison of front-line combat forces, that is, the strength of the front-line combat troops and the rear-line service troops. Even according to a relatively exaggerated estimate, the data of the Siyo Group coalition is on the right hand side, that is, the service personnel support the combatants. From this, it can be calculated that the A-10,000 logistics personnel are at least 10,000 in the A-10,000 army invested by the Siyo Group coalition. Even if the casualty rate of the front-line troops is much higher than that of the logistics support troops, that is, 40,000 combat troops cannot fight on the front line at the same time, so it is impossible for the participants to reach 10,000 in the peak period. The Siyo Group coalition logistics support troops are also between 00,000 and 10,000 in the West.

Because the SAIC Group coalition forces are fighting against the Mediterranean, that is, the ground logistics line is relatively short, and the maritime transportation efficiency is far greater than that of the land transportation. In addition, the crew of most sea ships are civilians, not soldiers, so the SAIC Group coalition forces have taken a big advantage in terms of front and rear troop strength comparison.

It can be said that this is also the reason why the total force of the intensive group coalition forces is more than that of the SIO Group coalition forces.

Affected by the long ground logistics line, the comparison of the front and rear forces of the intensive group coalition must be below. In some local battlefields, such as the northern Kurdistan battlefield, this proportion is even about 10,000. Conservatively estimated that among the more than 40,000 officers and soldiers who participated in the war, the number of people fighting on the front line will not exceed 10,000, and the total strength of the front-line combat troops will not exceed 10,000 at any time. This can be seen from the strength invested by the Republic Army. Although it was the first time in the Middle East War.

During the first phase of the battle, the Republic Army invested 40,000 troops. However, after eliminating the logistics support units of each combat unit and strengthening the support units, the actual combat force was only tens of thousands. These forces arrived at the battlefield one after another, so at any time, the Republic Army's combat forces on the front line would not exceed 40,000, or even less than 10,000. Including the main forces of several allies, the main combat troops on the front line were in, and the main combat troops on the front line were tens of thousands, and the blades were a relatively credible estimate.

According to this calculation, the density of troops on the battlefield in the Middle East is not so large that there is not even room for rotation.

Compared with the Middle East War before the old year, although the warring sides invested nearly twice the number of front-line combat troops, it is reasonable to consider the intensity of the war, the length of the front line, the range of impact, and the fighting in both north and south directions at the same time, the density of troops increased accordingly.

More importantly, both sides gradually increased their troops during the battle, rather than investing so many troops from the beginning. It can be said that this is the biggest problem in the Middle East War.

As mentioned earlier, at the beginning of the battle, the US military invested between the ground forces of reinforcements who had already set out from the United States and were rushing to the front line between Chou Wan and Shi Wan, while the front-line combat troops of the Republic were about 10,000. Including the main combat troops of their respective allies, the total amount of ground forces invested by both sides at the beginning of the battle would not exceed 100,000. Compared with the Middle East War in Otter Year, the biggest difference is that the key points are different.

Back then, with Pei Chengyi's clever application, the northern front became the main battlefield, which was also one of the main reasons for the US military's disastrous defeat, while the southern front, which had a relatively superior geographical environment, was neglected.

After learning from the teachings, Duqiwei set the southern front as the main battlefield from the beginning, that is, put the main force in Israel and the Golan Heights, concentrated superior forces to defeat the iron-core allies of the two republics, Syria and Iraq, and went north from Lebanon to sweep the eastern coastal areas of the Mediterranean, lifted the threat of the Eastern Mediterranean route, and connected the northern fronts into one. The northern fronts stabilized the front with active tactical offense, used the complex terrain of Asia Minor, and the strategic defense line built over the past years to block the pace of the republic army's advance westward. According to Duqiwei's plan, after successfully defeating Syria and Iraq, the US-Israeli coalition will also face Iran

Advance and change the position of several pro-China countries in the Gulf region. The fundamental intention of this move is to achieve a strategic detour, that is, to go north to the Caucasus through Iran, and then join forces with Turkey to enter the Black Sea, forcing the Republic to give up the offensive action in the direction of Ukraine. Focus on the defense line between the Caucasus and the Black Sea. From the strategic situation, as long as the US military can push the front line to the east of the Mesopotamian Basin, the Republic has no choice but to allow the southern group on the mainland battlefield to move towards the Caucasus. Because Pei Chengyi divided the mainland battlefield into two groups, north and south. Therefore, some people believe that before the Middle East War began, the head of republic was prepared to lose.

If this is true, then I would underestimate Pei Chengyi too much.

At a time when asymmetric war theory is popular, war is definitely not against the enemy on a certain battlefield, but fighting on the battlefield you choose from from the perspective of being beneficial to yourself. It can be said that this asymmetric combat idea has greatly changed the appearance of war. In a sense, this asymmetric war idea is also the biggest feature of World War III.

Just as the U.S. military hopes to gallop across the Syrian desert, the primary purpose of the Republic's military is to defeat Türkiye.

From the perspective of the Republic, as long as it can defend Kurdistan and exchange Syria and Iraq for Turkey is a very decisive transaction. The reason is very simple. Occupy Turkey is equivalent to obtaining a ground transportation line to Greece, and after losing Syria and Iraq, there is Iran in the east. Facts have proved that even if the US military attacks Iran, it will be difficult for the US military to defeat this country that once defeated the US military in a short period of time. If we consider the attitude of Arab countries and the Islamic world towards wars on the on-site, that is, the United States wins over Israel to attack Syria and Iraq, which has the impact on Arab countries and the Islamic world, the Republic has more reason to choose the main battlefield to the north, that is, when the Islamic world regards the United States as the number one enemy left, occupy Türkiye, which is also the main envelope of Islam, in a relatively low-key manner.

Ran This shows that the Republic chose the strategy of attacking north and defending south.

Although as the saying goes, how much rice you have to cook as much as you want, in a world war, as long as it does not exceed the country's ability to bear, it is often the opposite, that is, after setting a goal

How much force is needed to be invested in six pairs of two. The super powers that have been launched will definitely not exceed the national strength when fighting a huge Middle East war. Considering that in the Middle East, both superpowers have allies, and they are allies with not too weak strength, it is more reasonable to set goals first and then make plans for the two superpowers.

Judging from the investment of both parties, you can find out where the problem is.

This time, let’s talk about the Republic first. Based on the information obtained after the war and the deployment of the Republic authorities in the Middle East, it can be proved that Pei Chengyi had already made the decision to let Syria and Iraq suffer most of the war losses, which also had a huge impact on the post-war world situation, especially the relationship between the Arab world and the Republic. That is, to use Syria and Iraq as a shield to allow the Siyo Group coalition forces to cross the front thousands of kilometers, and after crossing the front line of thousands of kilometers, they still had to deal with the rise and resistance of tens of millions of people in these two Arab countries. Don’t forget that many years ago, the US military occupied Iraq, and all Iraqis over the age of age will not forget that humiliating history.

In order to implement this strategy, as early as the year of the year, the Republican authorities opened several arms companies in Iraq in the form of joint ventures on the grounds of helping Iraq build an independent national defense force, supporting a large number of Iraqi arms dealers. After the old development, Iraq's arms industry has improved greatly, and Iraq's arms dealers have become the most influential interest group. At the end of the year, the Iraqi National Assembly approved a decree to strengthen national strategic security, which clearly stipulates that not only local governments must form militias according to unified standards, but all adult male citizens have the right to hold firearms as militias after applying for approval, which means that people have semi-legalized possession of firearms.

If this happened many years ago, there was nothing strange about it, because when the US military withdrew, Iraq's civilian armed forces were numerous, and there were countless guns scattered among the people. Conservatively, it is estimated that basically one gun was used by one person, and the gun rate was no lower than that of the United States and the United States. The United States is the country with the most civilian guns in the world. However, after years of hard work, the Iraqi authorities have confiscated most of the guns scattered among the people. Most of the guns scattered among the people were made half a reality, or even in the 1990s.

It can be seen from this that the Iraqi authorities lifted the gun ban order to prepare for the war.

Of course, this can also be seen as the result of the Republic's long-term plan.

Affected by this, the Republic's strategic layout in the Middle East is very obvious. It is undeniable. Even if Pei Chengyi intends to sacrifice Syria and Iraq, it is impossible to make endless concessions. Therefore, in the region south of Kurdistan, the Republic has adopted a large-scale defense deployment, that is, to place the main force behind the front line, and to throw the heavy responsibility of front line defense to the Syrian Defense Forces, and the Iraqi Defense Forces are responsible for the important task of logistics support. The Republic's military's mission is just maneuver.

Defense. More importantly, the Mesopotamia Basin is the "last line of defense" of the Republican army in the Middle East War Zone. No matter what the west is fighting, the Republican army will definitely defend the Mesopotamia Basin and block the US military's progress. This is exactly this. In the past few years, the Republican army has built a large number of military facilities in the Mesopotamia Basin, re-surveyed the terrain, and even built defensive positions in some relatively remote areas in advance, making preparations for a bad battle here.

Under this strategy, the Republic only needs to invest 2 combat units in this direction, the Great Front ground troops.

Although there is no way to confirm the specific deployment of the defense line between the two rivers in the war plan formulated by Yuan Chenhao or the combat plan formulated by Li Dongshi, that is, how many ground troops were planned to use to have thousands of years of civilization in this area, which nourished multiple ethnic groups to block the progress of the US military, one thing is certain, that is, before the Middle East War broke out, the Republic Army combat units deployed in the Mesopotamia Basin had two combat units. That is, the second combat unit and the Dili combat unit. The second combat unit was dispatched from India at the beginning of the year, while the Dili combat unit was the permanent combat unit in the region.

Of course, this does not mean that the Republic has deployed many troops in the Middle East to launch an attack immediately.

In any case, the Mesopotamian region is a strategic rear defense line and a strategic defense line. When the war started, the Republic's Army also deployed two combat units in Syria. The other two combat units were deployed in Kurdistan. Because Iran regarded the Republic's aid to Iraq and Syria and helped Kurdistan to establish a country as a threat, it drove all the Republic's troops out before Li Qiaonian and no longer provided military bases for the Republic. From this deployment, it can be seen that it can be defended with very limited troops.

The front is a miracle among miracles. It is impossible to mobilize troops to launch an attack without any difficulty in defense. Even tactical counterattacks are very difficult. If you look deeper, you can find out. Li Dongshi placed two-thirds of the ground troops on the southern front, indicating that in the early stage of the war, that is, before curbing the attack of the Siyo Group coalition forces, he will not launch an attack on the northern front. The reason is very simple. The two combat units deployed in Kurdistan were only 10,000 officers and soldiers in total, and the front line that needed to be guarded was close to the mouth of kilometers!

Going back to the purpose, it is not difficult to understand why the Republican army focused on defense in the early stages of the war.

Of course, when deciding on defense strategies, the old ground troops, plus millions of combat troops from allies, and reinforcements that arrived one after another, should not be very problematic to defend the front. Even in the early stages of the attack of the SIA Group coalition, it is difficult to gain a foothold on the peripheral front, and it can still exchange space for time and steadily retreat to the defense line between the two rivers. As long as the strategic depth of Syria and Iraq is fully utilized, and the people of Syria and Iraq are properly mobilized, the problem of sticking to the defense line between the two countries will not be too great.

In other words, the Republic did not increase its troops to the Middle East before the outbreak of the war, and the problem was not very obvious.

Compared with this, the SIO Group's military investment, especially the US military's military investment, is very problematic.

You should know that before this, the ground troops invested by the US military plan were not 10,000 yuan, but more than 10,000 yuan, that is, most of the main forces sent to the Russian battlefield should be used on the Middle East battlefield. Conservative estimates, affected by the mainland battlefield, the US military had fewer troops than expected in the war. As an emergency plan, Babalis and Turkey both increased their mobilization efforts in accordance with the requirements of the United States, but Israel is a small country with a population of less than 10,000 yuan. Even if it is reasonable, it is a small country with a population of less than 10,000 yuan.

In theory, Israel has four military personnel. Israel implements a system of military service for all its people, that is, male citizens from the age of old to the age of 10 and female citizens from the age of 10 to Yan and are both militiamen and are equipped with guns. But in fact, only about 40,000 combatants are male citizens who are between the age of 10 and 10 years old and have received regular military training. Turkey's biggest problem is its low national quality and backward national strength. Even if it can mobilize tens of millions of combatants in theory, its contribution to the war is far lower than that of Israel.

It can be seen that when the war broke out, the SIA Group coalition invested much less troops than planned. It can be said that this is also the main reason why Duqiwei continued to send combat forces to the front line during the war and finally sent nearly ten thousand American soldiers.

In addition to military strength, the SAIC Group coalition also has the problem of lack of weapons, especially advanced main combat weapons.

According to unconfirmed news, when Turkey declared war on the Republic and the intensive group and allied states of the Republic and other republics, the US authorities made a promise. Before launching the Middle East war, Turkey would provide Turkey with weapons and equipment as individual divisions, and more than half of them were newly produced advanced weapons and equipment. It was influenced by this promise that Turkey participated in the war at the beginning of the year and sent troops to attack Kurdistan before the United States sent troops to the Middle East, and even fought several small-scale battles with the Iranian army in the eastern region. In fact, the United States also fulfilled its promise and sent all the equipment of the appointment to Turkey by the end of July.

However, most of them were eliminated by the US military, or old weapons and equipment that had been sealed for several years, with only one armored division and one harbor. The equipment of the two divisions was also the first to be sent to Turkey. Judging from the situation at that time, they should be prepared to be sent to Russia's port in the Black Sea area. Because the Russian army was quickly defeated in the second round of offensive battle, they lost the port in the Black Sea area. In addition, the Black Sea was within the strike range of the Republic's aviation force, so the fleet transporting equipment did not go to the Black Sea, but instead switched to the port in Turkey. There are enough reasons to believe that the equipment for the welcome division was forcibly "received" by the Turkish authorities.

It can be said that the lack of main combat equipment is the biggest factor restricting the combat effectiveness of the Turkish National Army.

Based on these factors, it can be seen that on the Middle East battlefield, the SIA Group coalition is unlikely to launch an attack on the two fronts of the north and south according to the initial combat plan. It can be said that it is precisely because of the lack of troops and the combat effectiveness of the Turkish National Army is too low that Duqiwei is working hard to reinforce Russia and attract the main force of the Republic's army to the mainland battlefield. He does not adjust the Middle East strategy and changes the comprehensive attack to regional offense, that is, launching a strategic offense in the south. In the north, he uses tactical offense to restrain the opponent's forces.

The problem is that this is equivalent to handing over half of the front to the most unreliable Turkish National Army.

If it were someone else, it would be reasonable to make such a mistake. After all, before appearing on the battlefield, no one knew how much the Turkish National Army had been reformed for many years under the guidance of the US military. Moreover, before August, the Turkish National Army that rushed into the Kurdistan region performed quite well. However, as the commander of the last Middle East War, Duqiwei knew very well about the weight of the Turkish National Army, so there was no reason to over believe that this seemingly stronger army should not hand over the important front that concerns millions of US troops, Israel, and even the entire victory or defeat of the Great War. No matter what Duqiwei thought, he had to leave a sufficient reserve team in his hand, and it would be best to prepare a reserve team according to the battle and strategy to deal with the unexpected.

There is no doubt that the formation of a reserve force with the US military invested in the Middle East battlefield will definitely be a problem.

It can be said that this is also a fatal flaw of the SAIC coalition.

Judging from the situation at that time, to put it nicely, the US military did not invest enough combat troops to achieve the purpose of the war. To put it bluntly, the US military's purpose of the war was too great and far exceeded the combat capabilities of the US military during this period.

From a military perspective, when strength is limited, the US military should determine the purpose of its combat based on its strength.

Objectively speaking, the purpose of the United States fighting the Middle East War is not to drive the Republic out of the Middle East. It can be said that this is also a very unrealistic purpose. After all, if the inability to conquer Iran, or the cost of conquering Iran is too huge, the US military will never be able to drive the Republic's army out of the Middle East. It has been mentioned many times before that the strategic purpose of the US military on the battlefield in the Middle East is very simple. That is, to prevent the Republic from advancing westward from the Middle East and establish a barrier between the Republic's power and the EU, so that the EU's strategic purpose is actually to ensure that it is not driven away by the Republic, rather than becoming the hegemon of the Middle East.

First of all, we must admit that when the war broke out, the United States was in a very poor situation in the Middle East.

Although after controlling Zi Leyenen, the United States completed the roundabout encirclement of Syria and improved the strategic barrier to the north of Israel. After Jordan announced the support of the Arab world, both the Republic and the United States recognized Jordan's permanent throne before the war. That is, under no circumstances could the Republic and the United States attack or invade Jordan, so there was a relatively reliable strategic barrier to the east of Israel. However, the largest and most critical issue in the Middle East has not been resolved, but has become more serious, that is, Israel and Türkiye are isolated and not connected.

From a geographical point of view, Israel is actually an isolated island. Even if several neighboring countries do not take any damage, there is no strategic depth to say. It is a bit polite. If the Republic is willing, it does not even need to deploy ground combat troops to Syria. It only needs to deploy a few artillery brigades about 1,000 meters west of Baghdad, Iraq, and it can blow Israel into ruins within a few days. Although Turkey's territory is much larger than Israel and has a large population, the Republic's Army wants to transfer artillery soldiers.

Only by deploying it in Syria can Ankara be shelled. If you want to shell the Istanese dialect, you have to deploy artillery troops to the western region of Kurdistan, namely the Gulf of Iron. However, Turkey's situation is very similar to Russia in the north, that is, it is attacked from both sides and Greece in the west. The EU may send troops before Russia is defeated, and Greece may turn against each other before Turkey is defeated. Even if Greece is unlikely to send troops to attack Turkey, it is likely to send troops to Cyprus and overthrow the Northern Serbian regime supported by the Turkish authorities.

From this we can see that what the US military needs to do is to expand the strategic depth on the Middle East battlefield before the Republican army launches an attack, and ensure that it can block the Republic's army's progress westward with the assistance of the strong Israeli Defense Forces and the huge Turkish National Army. Looking at the US military's combat operations, we can find that focusing on an attack in a certain direction is obviously not the most ideal choice. To be honest, from the perspective of expanding the strategic depth, the US military should not only not focus on one direction, but also focus on the south. Instead, it should concentrate its forces to attack from north to south. First occupy Kurdistan, then head south to attack Syria, and finally meet with the Israeli army in the south. Only in this way can the Republic's army be blocked from Asia Minor to the greatest extent, and use the complex geographical environment of Asia Minor to resist the attack of the Republic's army.

It has to be said that Duqiwei was either too confident or too complicated to see the situation of the war. After the war, many people studied the first president in American history to lose the World War. They all believed that he missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the Middle East battlefield. Not to mention how Western war historians evaluated Duqiwei, even many Eastern war historians believed that if Duqiwei could set a more practical purpose for the SAIC coalition in the early stages of the Middle East War, and reasonably utilized relatively limited forces,

Even if the United States still loses the Middle East War, it will still lose the last glimmer of hope to win the war. It is also very likely that the Republic will delay a few more years on this decisive battlefield, so that the Republic will pay a greater price for the final victory. Of course, many Western war historians believe that if the SAIC Group coalition can persist for another two years on the Middle East battlefield, the United States will likely use blockade, sanctions, temptations of interests and other means to allow the EU, which has an ambiguous attitude, to participate in the war as an allies, thus completely turning the situation around.

Of course, the actual situation is definitely much more complicated than the speculation of war historians.

Judging from the situation at that time, Duqiwei did not find that he had made a mistake, but was unable to correct it, or believed that correcting the mistake would cost a greater price. Not to mention, as early as the old year, Duqiwei had experienced the mountain combat capabilities of the Republic's army. Although the US Army, which was determined to reform, also made significant progress in this old year, especially in low-altitude assault capabilities, the gap with the Republic's Army narrowed a lot, but as the supreme commander of the United States, Duqiwei still dared not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army. You must know that the US military is progressing, and the Republic's Army is also progressing. More importantly, before that, the Republic's Army was already

It proved its strength on the mainland battlefield, and the performance of the Republic's Army on the mainland battlefield is easy to believe that this army that had not fought in many years is doing warm-up exercises. When those soldiers who were still children in the last war become familiar with the battlefield environment, they will definitely burst out with more amazing combat power. In this way, when the strategic plan was young, Duqiwei would not take geographical factors too seriously, that is, he would not expect the mountains and ridges of Asia Minor to block the progress of the Republic's Army. You should know that many years ago, neither the Himalayas nor the Pamir Plateau, the world's highest altitude, could block the Republic's Army.

It can be seen from this that Duchwie's Middle East strategy is actually to use attack instead of defense.

To put it bluntly, it is to consume the enemy's vitality and military supplies through active and proactive attacks, so that the enemy not only spends time on defense, but also has to spend more time reorganizing the attack. From a time point of view, this has been enough for the United States to win several years. From another perspective, if the attack was not actively launched in the year of the year, if the Republican Army defeated Russia on the mainland battlefield and millions of troops heading south, even if the US Army emerged in full swing, it would be difficult to block the Republican Army's progress on the Middle East battlefield. Judging from the situation in the second half of the year of the year, without the impact on the Middle East battlefield, Russia is likely to be defeated in the first quarter of the fourth year.

The time of deployment is adjusted, the Republic's Army will be able to move to the Middle East battlefield as soon as possible in the second half of the year. By this time, the United States will complete the second phase of the war mobilization at most. The total strength of the US Army will not exceed 10,000, and it is unlikely that the Republic's Army will be blocked with almost the same force and more powerful combat power in the Middle East battlefield. Of course, if you really want to fight like this, the United States will not only lose in the Middle East battlefield, but also suffer a crushing defeat on other battlefields. For example, when ground wars are sure to win, the Republic's authorities are likely to fully support the Pacific War by the end of the year, improve the status of the navy and the sky army, and allow the United States to lose the Pacific War at a faster speed.

It can be said that as US President, Du Qiwei must first consider combat operations from the perspective of overall strategic perspective, rather than staring at a certain battlefield. This is exactly the same as Pei Chengyi, otherwise Pei Chengyi would not have let Yuan Chenhao do his best on the mainland battlefield while actively advocating the Pacific War. The difference between the two is also obvious. The former has been passively coping with various challenges, while the latter is actively launching challenges.

From this perspective, looking at the combat operations of both sides on the Pacific battlefield, we can naturally understand why we had to fight for several months on Saipan Island and then we went back and forth for several months. It was not until the end of the year to the beginning of the year that the navies and naval forces of both sides once again set off for a decisive battle. You should know that when the "main fleet" of both sides advanced towards the Mariana Islands, the ground forces of both sides were already fighting in Russia and in full swing. It can be said that both sides regarded the battle on the Eurasian continent as magnets at this time, hoping to attract the attention of each other and gain an advantage on a more important battlefield.

If you have to find the key points, the archipelago in the Western Pacific is the real key points!
