Chapter 2820 The Controller in the Dark     1

"Of course there is. Although I don't have exact information, according to some outgoing news, the Germans exchanged the lives of Kemal's family with old equipment worth hundreds of millions of marks, and our troops did not get these things. So, please tell me where are these equipment now? You don't think that His Majesty Sultan puts these things in the warehouse, do you? With these weapons, the Sultan can quickly form a new army to make up for the previous losses." Zemalpasha said affirmatively.

"Hiss...what should we do now?" asked Letapasha.

"We came to the Ferry Land of Crescent to suppress the rebellion and maintain the rule of the empire. Since that's the case, we will do this first. Now is definitely not the time to showdown with the Sultan. We have no chance of winning, and this behavior will destroy the empire. At this time, we will first release goodwill to the Sultan and provide the convenience to the troops fighting on the Arabian Peninsula to the best of our ability. Of course, the symbolic significance of this is greater than the practical significance. In any case, maintaining temporary stability is the most important thing." Zemalpasha said.

"Well, just do what you said, then what about our relationship with the Americans?" asked Letapasha.

"Of course, it continues, but we have to be careful. The Americans are very insidious. We can take the assistance they provide, but we cannot do everything as they tell us." Zemalpasha said.

So, on the second day after the two of them were in conversation, a delegation went to Constantinople. The two Pasha representatives fully exchanged views with the Sudan and reached a consensus on everything. After a brief preparation, the new Turkish army arrived at the Arabian Peninsula by sea and launched a counterattack against the Arabs!

"This is wrong! This is not what the script is written!" Taft said impatiently in the White House, in the office of Old Roosevelt. "Although the Turkish army was severely damaged in the Arabian Peninsula, their country was not in civil unrest. Zemalpasha, who was originally ready to move, also chose to compromise, allowing Turkey to stabilize temporarily. Moreover, the Turkish army even has the ability to supplement the war damage on the front line!"

There is never a shortage of surprises in the world. In Turkey, when the Sudan and his Pasha were in trouble and pain because of the Arabian Peninsula, the Americans on the other side of the ocean were also very unhappy, because some unknown factors or things caused the situation in Turkey to not slide into the abyss as they expected. The Turks made a series of decisions and compromises at the last minute to make them unite on the surface again, and then work hard to do the outside world!

"If this continues, the Turkish army will likely regain the initiative. After all, Turkey is an empire, and their enemies are a group of loose tribes. Even with our continuous support, it will be very difficult to make them suffer losses to the Turks again. The same is true for the rebellion in the Mesopotamia. All ports are controlled by the Turks. If they strengthen supervision, it will be very difficult for us to provide weapons and supplies to the rebels." Taft said.

"Things are indeed a bit unexpected." Old Roosevelt knocked on the table and signaled to be quieter. "Unless the United States of America intervenes directly, some things may have to be pushed back."

"We can't delay it. The Turks may have doubted us. If they decide to stand firmly on the side of the Germans again, then our layout in the Middle East will completely fail. In the next few decades, neither the Turkish Sudan nor the top leaders will trust us anymore! Therefore, we must continue the plan until the Turkish government collapses and then breaks apart!" Taft's words were very firm.

"So, do we have to intervene directly? Taft, tell me your choice, are you willing to take this risk?" Old Roosevelt stared at Taft, waiting for his answer.

"What do you mean by direct intervening?" Taft's words were filled with hesitation and concern.

"Of course we are sending troops. We can refer to what General Pershing did during the Boer War and send a volunteer to form an army to help the Arabs fight. However, these people cannot have American nationality. We can recruit from various places and provide weapons and training. We recruit members of the Commonwealth, Persians, Latin Americans, and anyway, no matter where they are. As long as they are willing to participate in the battle, we can give them American nationality after the war, just like the French foreign legion." Old Roosevelt's words revealed firmness.

That’s right, before asking Taft, Roosevelt had a conclusion in his mind. It is impossible to stop Turkey’s plan after it has advanced to this level. Taking a step back means that the US’s global strategy will be reversed. The United States cannot hesitate now, because the current crisis in Turkey is due to the inconsistent opinions within Germany. If the Germans reach an agreement within the country, even if Damascus and Baghdad are finished, the Germans will have the ability to restore Turkey’s original territory! So the United States must take action as soon as possible!

"Well, I promise you to help you with the work of a party leader in Congress. Does this mean that our special allocations will be increased again?" Taft asked. "We have a lot of special funds recently. Please don't forget that the United States is in war and the government's fiscal deficit is a problem now."

"Don't worry, Taft, everything we do today will pay off in the near future. In the future, a falling Turkey will appear in the world." Old Roosevelt said.

"So is our actions in Persia postponed? After all, there has not been serious internal strife in Turkey. It is difficult for us to convince Persia to take military action against Turkey. The attitude of the Germans is still unclear. The Russians also dare not easily interfere in Middle East affairs." Taft said.

"Yes, although we are trying our best to advance these plans, the current situation is certain to postpone it, both Persian and Russians." Old Roosevelt then asked: "How are we doing on the Pacific Front?"

"It's not bad, everything is going as planned. General Pershing has entered Rabaul, and the entire Bismarck Islands are about to fall into our control." Taft said.
