Washington, White House.

A long car parked at the door of the President of the United States of America's official residence. It seems that the license plates belong to the United States. The few buses in Washington seem to be concentrated here. This means that those who came to the White House for a meeting today are the most important figures in the United States.

The Secretary of the U.S. Navy, Chief of Staff, Secretary of the Navy Operations, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, the newly established US Strategic Intelligence Agency, and the Secretary of Commerce who rarely manages commerce, all entered the Oval Office of the U.S. President, sitting or standing and talking in a low voice from time to time. Now the United States is not participating in the Pacific War with Japan, but has become a big player in this world war. Not only is he fighting hard with Japan in the Pacific, but also in the Middle East with India and the Soviet Red Army.

The huge ground war. However, what makes the American senior officials a little depressed is that with the full participation of the United States in the war, the burden of this world war seemed to have been on the shoulders of the Americans overnight. In the past two years, the main battlefields of Sino-Soviet and Soviet Union, which have caused more than 20 million casualties, are now in a state of tranquility like a "sitting war". The Chinese, German and Soviets seem to have finally reached an agreement - they are all ready to sit down and rest and watch the performances of the United States, Britain and India at the same time.

In the Oval Office, the presidential adjutant Colonel Katton prepared a large-scale combat map early, and the enemy, me and friends in the Middle East War Zone were marked in several colors. The enemy of course refers to the army of the Soviet Union, mainly the Indian Red Army, with a total of more than 3 million. Three huge red arrows point to Medina, Damascus and Amman, representing at least 1.5 million offensive troops! In Damascus, there are three small red dots in Amman and Sinai Peninsula, representing the three Indian armies standing there. In addition, there are several red lines near Tebuk, which means that several Indian blocking lines are blocking the British and American armored clusters that went south to relieve Medina.

US Army Chief of Staff MacArthur stood in front of the map and pointed to the map with a pointer, introducing: "...The current goal of the Middle East Indian army is very obvious, which is to eat the eight American and British infantry divisions in Medina. Lieutenant General Stilwell reported that the Indian Red Army was besieging Medina has at least 300,000 people! It has a large number of artillery and is very brave in combat. The attack has lasted for 5 days. At present, the casualties and casualties of the Stilwell cluster have exceeded 15,000. However, it can still last for 10 to 15 days. In other words, the key to the victory of the Middle East is the persistence of Medina and the attack of the Wavere mechanized cluster."

He pointed to the blue arrow pointing to the map on the map and said, "This is the Wevel cluster, with the 8th British Army as the main force. The four armored divisions with the US army have been strengthened, with a total of 10 armored divisions and 10 motorized infantry divisions. The force exceeds 300,000, with 2,500 tanks and 2,500 self-propelled artillery, which is our most powerful strike force. Just the day before yesterday, they had broken through Tebk, the important city in the north of Hanzhi and opened the door to Medina. Although the Indian army was still stubbornly blocking the road to Medina, I am full of confidence in their successful breakthrough of the Indian army's blocking and reaching Medina.

In addition, the counterattacks launched by the Indian army in Syria and Trans-Jordan, although the momentum is huge, can still be determined as feints. Under the attack of the main force of the British and American allies and the dominant air force, the Indian army's feints will not only not achieve any effect, but will also suffer huge casualties.

The above is the unanimous judgment made by the Army General Staff and the Middle East War Zone on the current situation.”

"So we will win the Middle East soon, right?" Roosevelt asked with his eyebrows raised.

"It depends on the determination of the Soviet Union and India." MacArthur shook his head and said: "At present, the Army General Staff can basically confirm that we have gained the upper hand on the Middle East battlefield and will cause unimaginable casualties in the Indian Red Army."

"How many unimaginable casualties are there?" Hopkins interrupted.

"As of yesterday, the statistics reported by the US-British Allied Army Middle East War Zone were to kill 188,000 and capture 23,000. This figure does not include the officers and soldiers of the Indian Logistics Transportation Force who were injured and killed in our air strikes." Army Secretary George Dern took the topic and replied.

"It's only more than 200,000 at most." Donovan shook his head and said, "I don't think the Indian GCD cares about this loss... As far as I know, the Soviet Union has suffered an average of 600,000 personnel losses per month in the past two years!"

"600,000! God!" Mogentho exclaimed at the hearing of this number. "So, the Soviet Union has lost 18 million people in the past two years!"

"It should be 25 million!" Donovan said coldly: "Because there are still millions of Central Asian M Slins who have completely betrayed the Soviet Union, and another two to three million Slavs in the occupied territories have entered the concentration camp!"

"But the Soviet people are still fighting?" Roosevelt looked at Donovan, and the meaning was obvious. He wanted to know the morale of the people in the Soviet Union.

"Yes, Mr. President, the Soviet people are still closely united around Trotsky and the Soviet GCD because they have no other choice." Donovan explained: "The situation is obvious now, and China and Germany will divide the country after defeating the Soviet Red Army!"

"What about India?" Roosevelt thought for a while and asked, "Does China and Germany have plans to destroy India?"

Donovan shook his head: "No, in fact, Hitler didn't care about India at all, and China's GCD chairman Mao ZD secretly went to India to contact India last year. According to the situation under the Strategic Intelligence Agency, the Chinese were originally planning to recognize the Indian GCD regime, but India GCD finally GC International and the Soviet Union. Last September, the Indian G Party newspaper "Bolsheviks" published a signed article by Lu Yi. In the article, Lu Yi said that India would send as many divisions as the Soviet Union needs. In order to defend the Soviet Union and complete the world revolution, India did not hesitate to pay 100 million casualties!"

"One hundred million casualties?" Roosevelt smiled contemptuously: "This is the biggest joke I have ever heard. Indian GCD actually publishes such articles in newspapers. Aren't they afraid of losing the support of the people?"

The American officials in the room looked at each other, and no one knew how to answer the president's question. Roosevelt shrugged and said, "If we want to attack India and destroy India GCD, maybe India G will mobilize their people to fight to the death with us, but for the Soviet Union and the Middle East... I think they will be almost done if they pay millions." He thought for a while, looked at MacArthur, and spoke in a deep voice: "In other words, this lesson is not enough to force India G to give up the Middle East. We need one or two huge victories!"

MacArthur nodded: "Mr. President, we and the Navy are actually planning this." He looked at the Minister of Navy Operations William Lexi. The latter stood up and walked to the map, took the instruction stick from MacArthur, and pointed to the Suez Canal: "The lock repair and underwater obstacle removal work of this canal have been basically completed. Navigation will be restored soon. So after discussing with General Lexi, I proposed a concept of landing in the Persian Gulf, and a specific plan is being formulated."

"The Persian Gulf landing? It sounds interesting." Roosevelt raised his eyebrows and showed an interesting expression: "Tell me about the general plan."

"The plan is not complicated," said William Lehi. "We expect that the current battle between Transjordan and Hanzhi will last for a long time in Syria. Although we can severely damage the Indian army again and again. However, the number of Indian Red Army is very large and they can bear huge losses, so the war may be in a stalemate. However, in order to supplement the losses they suffered on the front line, the Indian Red Army will inevitably draw all the garrisons near the Persian Gulf. This gives us the land in the Persian Gulf.

The possibility of landing in the area, the Navy recommends joining the Royal Navy to dispatch 10 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers and more cruisers and destroyers to transport 150,000 to 200,000 troops to the Persian Gulf to carry out this mission. After completing the landing of the Persian Gulf, we can also leave the fleet in the Indian Ocean and attack Sumatra from there. Currently, the largest oil field under Japan's control, Palembang Oilfield is in Sumatra. If we can destroy this oil field, Japan will soon lose its oil supply!"

"This idea is good, I like it very much!" Roosevelt clapped his hands and smiled, "I will approve this plan now. General MacArthur and General Lech, I ask you to organize forces to carry out Persian Gulf operations as soon as possible, and at the same time..." He looked at Secretary of State Hull and Secretary of Commerce Hopkins again: "Coder, Harry, you try to contact India GCD and tell them that the United States has no intention of infringing on India's mainland and does not intend to interfere in India's domestic affairs. The United States has no fundamental conflict of interest with India. A strong and responsible India is also in the interests of the United States."

...

At this time, it was not only the United States who were making the best plans, but also the revolutionary prophets far away in Moscow.

The atmosphere in the Kremlin has been much relaxed recently, especially after the first batch of Indian internationalist fighters arrived in Moscow and held a grand military parade on Red Square, the Soviet senior leaders' original low mood rose again. Moreover, in their opinion, the situation on the Middle East battlefield seemed to be sure to win. What made them even more happy was that although April was already in progress, China and Germany did not seem to have plans to launch a large-scale attack. It seems that the Soviet Union could get a chance to breathe!

"Comrade Chairman, this is a summary of the battle situation submitted by Comrade Bulucher and Comrade Tukhachevsky." Vatedius proudly took out a stack of documents from the folder. Recently, Trotsky's mood was like most of the Soviet senior leaders, and there were a lot of smiles on his face. The war on stage in the Middle East seemed to have allowed him to see the arrival of the turning point of the war. Indian internationalist fighters showed outstanding combat effectiveness when they competed with Britain and the United States. They were able to take the initiative in the war when their weapons and equipment were inferior to their opponents and had no air superiority. It was really worth learning from the Soviet Red Army.

"Comrade Chairman, the Middle East War is progressing very smoothly. The Ubolevich cluster lurking on the northern foot of the Hanzhi Mountains showed no sign of being discovered by the United States and Britain. After capturing Tebk, the U.S. and British Allied Forces clearly strengthened its attacks. After capturing Tebk, it broke through our army's two blocking lines a day and a night, and advanced more than 100 kilometers, but now it is blocked in the area of ​​Eula. It is here." Vates pointed to a small town surrounded by low hills on the map and said, "Comrade Bellov himself supervised the battle in Eula. He set up four divisions in Eula and was confident that he would guard it for a week.

In addition, Comrade Yakiel and Comrade Fejiko each commanded five armies, and divided into two groups to attack Damascus and Amman. Now there has been a fire with the British and American troops that are blocking, and the British and American troops attracted by them are estimated to exceed 300,000..."

"How is the casualties?" Trotsky suddenly interrupted: "What are the casualties of Indians and British and American casualties?"

"Since the war in the Middle East, the total number of Indian Red Army killed, seriously injured and missing persons has exceeded 180,000; the losses of the British and American Allied forces are estimated to be between 55,000 and 65,000, of which about 1,800 were captured."

"It's almost a 3:1 exchange rate," Trotsky glanced at Vatedith: "It's really good that the Indian comrades have such poor weapons and equipment, and they can still achieve such a record! It's better than our teacher!"

Vatedius's face heated slightly. He knew that Trotsky was very dissatisfied with the huge casualties of the Soviet Red Army in the past two years, but what could he do? China and Germany, especially the German army, are not comparable to the amateur army of the United States and Britain! He quickly changed the topic and took out a stack of photos from the folder and handed them to Trotsky.

"Comrade Chairman, this is a photo we sent in Panama's intelligence officers."

"Panama? What's going on?" Trotsky was stunned for a moment, took the photos and flipped them out. They were all photos of warships passing through the canal, with an aircraft carrier and at least five battleships.

"Comrade Chairman, according to the report of our intelligence personnel in Panama, these warships entered the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal three days ago!"

“Enter the Atlantic Ocean?”

"In addition, this photo is taken by a submarine." Vates drew out a few more photos. "There are British Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, a total of five, passing through the English Channel and entering the Atlantic Ocean. There are dozens of light warships and a large number of transport ships traveling with them.
