Chapter 103 Compromise
Chapter 103 Proof of Problem
On February 4th, war broke out again in the Middle East.※:※\\Green^Second^Small^Say//※
Although Marshall did not meet all the requirements put forward by Rollinson, and the US military only invested eight divisions on the Middle East battlefield, of which only six were the main divisions, but when Baram repeatedly threatened with resignation and forced the Israeli Prime Minister to continue to put pressure on the US authorities, Rollinson had to make a compromise, that is, adopt the plan proposed by Baram and launch a large-scale offensive operation in Jordan.
Another extremely important factor that led to this offensive operation was to assist the Russian army in capturing Tehran.
As early as January, Brushilov repeatedly proposed that the Iranian war should be ended as soon as possible so that the main force of the Russian army would be sent to the Siberian battlefield. Although the Russian President rejected Brushilov's request for political reasons, the Iran war has been delayed for a long time and has created a huge burden on Russia. Even if the Russian President does not understand military affairs, he can understand that Iran has become the grave of the Russian army.
Affected by this, in early February, the Russian President formally proposed to the US President that the US-Israeli coalition must launch a large-scale attack on the Middle East battlefield, forcing China to increase its troops to the Middle East, and the Russian army will take this opportunity to attack Tehran and strive to capture Tehran within a week.
The problem is that Russia cannot just ask for it and not give it back.
According to the Russian president's commitment, after the Russian army captured Tehran, it will not stop moving forward and will continue to advance southward to strive to reach the Persian Gulf by the end of February. Of course, the Russian president put forward an additional condition, that is, the United States will send four divisions to Iran as promised.
In fact, it was not the President of the United States who supported the proposal, but General Marshall.
At that time, Marshall had realized that it was difficult for the US-Israeli coalition to win on the Middle East battlefield alone, so it was necessary to first help the Russian army win in Iran. To put it bluntly, the victory of the Iran War will determine the victory of the Middle East War. The victory of the Russian army can bring benefits to the US-Israeli coalition.
To this end, General Marshall left two divisions and was able to acquire two newly formed divisions in February.
In other words, Marshall had prepared four divisions to send troops to Iran after the Russian army captured Tehran and advance to the Persian Gulf with the Russian army.
At that time, Marshall also requisitioned hundreds of merchant ships as the chairman of the Joint Conference.
According to his request, these merchant ships will mainly transport war materials to Russia and transport minerals produced by Russia back to the United States. Of course, they can also be used to transport US combat troops when necessary. Because Turkey remains neutral, ships can travel to Russia through the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
It was also with the support of Marshall that the US president agreed to the Russian president's request.
Marshall then instructed Rollinson to plan an offensive operation.
Interestingly, Rollinson had opposed this from the beginning and insisted that there was no need to launch an offensive for Russia when it was not prepared.
The impact of this is: Rollinson was only forced to agree to launch an attack, but was not responsible.
To put it bluntly, the offensive operation was planned by Baram, and Rollinson was only responsible for the US military.
