To Japan (secret): We find your proposal regarding the canal to be acceptable, but we do ahve one objection - which si that we have no real ability to do anything about British control voer Hong Kong and Singapore beyond subversion and funding of local terrorist groups.
Other than that - the pirates can easily be dealt with, especially once we can acquire airfields on the Arabian Peninsula, and the Thai-Indonesian war should be a matter of little concern, as we can simply exploit it to sell weapons to both sides and threaten to cut the supply if they daamge our trade.
To Iran (secret): The situation with the Ottoman Republic is becoming untenable, and we may have no choice but to go to war. If you support us in that war, we will allow you control over the Islamic holy cities in Iraq and let you make the Shia areas your protectorates.
Orders:
Begin army buildup along the Ottoman borders.
Prepare to execute war plans when army expansion is complete.
War Plans:
All fronts: Launch massive air attacks to destroy the Ottoman air force on the ground, then neutralize enemy air defences. After that, use the air force to attack large enemy formations.
Southern front: Launch a mass armoured attack to secure the Suez canal and then ehad for Cairo and Alexandria.
Northern Front: Repeat as above,, going for Beirut and Damascus.
Eastern front: Repeat, again, with Baghdad as the target.
