Is there any solution to this military problem? In fact, it is unsolvable. Even Roosevelt knew that if Germany was determined to settle everything with military intention, it would be really possible to deal with it. It was just a matter of cost. It was precisely for this reason that the Americans were eager to take advantage of the situation, and then they would let the Germans retreat after they made the whole situation a mess.

Therefore, Reza Khan’s military concerns will not really stop the US and Russia from advancing this plan. At most, Persia will be beaten into a mess. Anyway, once the US-Japan Pacific War is over, Americans have time and energy to slowly sort out all this. As for what kind of disaster Persia will suffer, the United States and Russia do not care. As long as Persia can eventually become a bridgehead for the US and Russia in the Middle East! This is nothing wrong!

"Dear Your Majesty, and His Excellency Reza Khan." Johnson showed impatientness in his respectful words. "I admit that this operation was indeed a bit hasty, and many important unstable factors were not solved. The military threats of the Germans existed. But there are no foolproof plans in this world? Everyone, do you think so?" Johnson said and smiled.

"Sometimes, we must be brave enough to take certain risks when doing things. Germans interfere in Turkey is only a possibility, and the Germans directly invade your country is a possibility with a lower probability. We have more than 70% of our confidence to ensure that the Germans will not directly intervene in these matters. Do you understand? Seventy percent of our confidence! It is already very high, and even if you intervene, as long as your country can buy some time, the United States of America will never sit idly by and watch Germany's arbitrary acts! The Pacific War will soon end. The United States has sufficient resources to put pressure on the Germans in diplomatic and economic aspects to force the other party to give up military operations against Persia. If we consider it comprehensively, we have more than 90% of our confidence to win this war, and the result of the war is that the Mesopotamia Basin is incorporated into your country's territory. With such a huge profit, as long as you take such a little risk, what else are you and your ministers dissatisfied?" Johnson asked finally.

"Some things cannot be changed, we can only adapt or accept them. For example, this war against Turkey is bound to win this issue, both the United States and Russia. As our allies, you have no choice. You and your country can only stand on our side. Cooperate with us, otherwise many bad things may happen." If Ambassador Johnson has a little basic respect or face to the Persian monarch and minister, then the Russian military representative Paplov is completely threatening! This sentence of cooperation with us or choosing death shocked Shah and Reza Khan. They did not expect that the Russians would be so shameless and rampant!

"This barbaric Russian bear." Johnson glanced at his partner with some dissatisfaction. He felt that he could make the Persians submit with just one more effort, but now the Russians' words made the whole atmosphere unprecedentedly tense! But it was obvious that Johnson could not "correct" his allies' speeches at this time. Turning his elbow out and slamming his cannons inward is definitely a taboo in the negotiation!

"Your Majesty, in order to show the sincerity of the United States, we can increase the next period of assistance by 50%. The increase in these aid will be directly handed over to your country's control, and we guarantee 45% of the total aid. And we will also send the United States troops to participate in this war, of course, the number may be relatively limited. There is only one condition for these aid, that is, when our aid is in place, will your country's troops complete the war preparations and then cross the border between the two countries with us?"

So, Johnson had to play his last trump card in advance, more financial and material support, and an ultimatum! Ambassador Johnson's last sentence was the bottom line of orders issued by the Americans to Persia. After the new aid was in place, Persia must make a choice! This period is also the last time that Persia can prepare.

"It seems we have no choice, right?" Shah said weakly while sitting on his throne. After all, he also heard the meaning of the representatives of the United States and Russia, either being friends with us or being crushed by us!

"It seems that we have reached the most critical consensus." Paplov smiled with satisfaction.

"But I have a requirement that in order to ensure the security of the northern border and capital, I require that the Persian army should leave at least half of it for the defense of the Northern Line. The total defense force on the Northern Line cannot be less than 120,000 people! The 120,000 people here must be real front-line troops, and new recruits cannot be counted." Reza Khan said.

"Is this what you mean by yourself or your majesty?" Johnson looked at Reza Khan, then turned his attention to Shah. Reza Khan was responsible for Tehran's defense, and he was also an absolute top leader in the Iranian army, so Johnson must pay attention to this issue.

"That's what I mean. We must leave enough elite troops to deal with possible attacks by the Germans and the instability in the country." Shah immediately said. Although he did not understand why this Reza Khan suddenly made such a request, he subconsciously believed that Reza Khan's request might be beneficial to him. After all, with a reliable army to guard himself in the north, Shah could sleep more peacefully. As his guard, Reza Khan's loyalty can naturally be guaranteed, otherwise he would stay first?

"120,000 troops? Is there all the veterans? Haha, does your country have 100,000 front-line troops? So if your country leaves half of the troops, that is, 50,000, then where does the remaining 70,000 troops come from?" Paplov sneered.

"Russians, I want to remind you that peace depends on strength. If we deploy too few troops on the Northern Line, so few that the Germans realize that they can easily penetrate our defense line with only one division, then tell me why the Germans don't fight this battle that is very low-cost and particularly easy to win? We must leave a minimum military force to ensure our safety. Otherwise, if one day we fail, no Russian army in the Middle East will run back! You become a prisoner of the Germans like me, and your result will definitely be much worse than mine!" Reza Khan said mercilessly. At this moment, he completely gave up his fantasy about the United States and Russia. He has made a decision that he wants the United States and Russia to pay the price for today's forced!
