Chapter 1196 East or West?
"Since the departure of Prime Minister Bismarck, the Germans have become more and more accustomed to using the sword in their hands to solve problems. In World War I, they destroyed Tsarist Russia and severely damaged Britain and France. ≧ Top novel, and less than 10 years after the war ended Within a year, they knocked their former ally Italy to the ground. Together with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they divided this poor country. In the dictionary of this country, there seemed to be only two words left, one was submission and the other was destruction. "In the palace in Tehran, Lisaza said with lingering fear.
"If nothing else goes wrong, after resolving matters in Europe, the next target of the Allied Powers will be us. Whether it is our oil or strategic location, both Germany and Turkey covet it. We are rich and wealthy, but we have no self-esteem at all. Prime Minister Mansour couldn't help but sigh and said. "The Allies have already begun to take action. Today the Turkish government just issued a note requesting the formation of a new alliance with the Persian Navy on the grounds of ensuring the safety of shipping in the Persian Gulf and preventing the entry of foreign navies. Joint Defense Fleet. But you know, the most powerful warship in our navy is just a destroyer. What the Turks want is our ports and thus control of our oil export routes. Our economic lifeline will be controlled by the Allies In their hands. And this is just the first step. The next step is to station troops, and then tie us to the Allies' tanks in the name of allies. If we refuse, it means war."
"Is it like Italy?" Lisazza said to himself. "Even a country like Italy cannot protect itself. In future wars, will all Eurasian countries have to choose their own camp? And as a plus A small country in the middle. No matter which side we join, our country will become a battlefield. This is terrible!"
"Actually, this is also an opportunity to stand on the side of the winner. Together with the winner, we will share a share of the loser's body. What did the Ottoman Empire look like before World War 1? A fragile and decadent country, but after After the war, he acquired Transcaucasus, consolidated his rule in the Arabian Peninsula, and also obtained some territory from the Balkan Peninsula. The dividends of the war and the increase in the government's prestige after the victory gave this ancient empire a new lease of life, while in the Allies With financial and technical support, Turkey's national strength is increasing rapidly. Although it is still subject to certain restrictions in diplomacy and military, it is undeniable that they are much better than in the past. Why can't we take advantage of this opportunity to change ourselves?" Mohamed Forooji said.
"Germany is certainly a tiger. But isn't Britain a wolf? Have the British taken too little from Iran over the past few hundred years? Even if we stand on their side, the British will still only consume us as cannon fodder. The Germans are stepping up their efforts to plunder our resources." Mansour glanced at Foruji and said.
"British? No, no, Britain is not the only country that opposes Germany. There are also the United States and China. The United States is too far away from us, so let's not consider it for now. I think China is a partner that can be cooperated with. China is more powerful than the United Kingdom. Strong. And relatively easy to talk to. How should I put it? I feel that what China needs is an ally, an ally that can help them control the Middle East." Looking at Mansour who was hesitant to speak, Foruji made a gesture. , indicating to the other party to listen to him.
"If the Spanish want land and actual control, and use killing and slavery to conquer other countries. What the British want is economic benefits, using trade and finance and various unequal treaties to extract money. Then China's methods are better than
They all need to be smarter and more acceptable. They do not simply obtain benefits, but establish a mutually beneficial relationship. For example, Italy in Europe is
An ally of China. China gave Italy great help in World War I. When the Germans raised their swords, China also traveled thousands of miles to help Italy. After the defeat of General Tycho, China took in the exiled Italians.
And their fleet. Although there are some elements of utilization, they are at least better than those powerful countries in Europe. We may have a better future." Foruji said.
For Iran, it is enough to ensure its development and regional status. Such countries have no need or ability to compete for hegemony outside the region. Their development requires help from powerful countries, and similarly, they must pay a certain amount for this help.
The price. In Forugi's view, China is undoubtedly their best choice. Although China cannot guarantee that their country will be immune from the invasion of the Allies, if China wins, they will at least have a decent future.
China also needs a more powerful helper in the Middle East!
"The key is what can we get by turning to China? Military assistance and political commitment? We cannot base our country's security on other countries, even if they are our allies, we need to build our own industrial system,
At least a complete oil extraction and processing system, I
We can share profits with them, but we must not let the other party control everything. There is also the army. Our future security needs to be based on the Iranian army. We can buy their weapons and receive their training, but we will never let any country
Large-scale military garrison in Iran," Lisaza said.
"That is a matter for the future. At least until the end of World War II, we will not be able to achieve this goal. Maybe Germany will launch an attack on Iran in a few years. We are running out of time." Foruji said with a wry smile.
. Now is not the time to talk about these issues. How to get on the line with China as soon as possible and obtain a certain degree of security guarantee is the most important. And there is another reason why Forooji is willing to cooperate with China, and that is the Iranian presence in China.
Ambassador in one
It was mentioned at the reception that China originally planned to unite with the Allied Powers to protect Sardinia and Sicily in Italy, but failed due to the inaction of the Allied Powers. Therefore, Forughi believed that if it cooperated with China, Iran would still have a chance to protect some of them.
Territory, perhaps they will not go as far away as Tycho's Italian fleet. If the Allies and China are victorious, then the current Iranian government represented by Lisaza can successfully re-establish its rule, and the risks will be smaller.
Just when Iran is faced with a decision, China is also considering its future layout in Iran. Who has the most powerful Middle East policy? Naturally, it is the United States in history, which uses support for Israel and Iran to control the entire Middle East from both wings.
.In history, after the end of World War II, with the development of oil resources in Arab countries, the economic and national strength of each country were developing rapidly, coupled with the proliferation of pan-Islamic ideas at that time. The Arab countries at that time could be described as
They are quite united and have a certain amount of strength. Although the strength of the countries in the Middle East is nothing in the eyes of superpowers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, the big countries are also checking each other. There are many things that can not be solved by force.
At least major powers cannot do everything on their own. Therefore, proxy wars will appear in Africa and the Middle East. The largest among them is the direct war between the Arab League supported by the Soviet Union and Israel supported by the United States.
Although the Middle East countries are rich, they are not reliable in fighting wars. After repeated defeats, pan-Islamic ideas were wiped out in defeat after defeat. After the end of the Fourth Middle East War, Egypt, once the leader of Arab countries, is regaining its lost ground.
Later, the feud with Israel was settled. As this cornerstone was shaken, the Arab countries that were once united
The alliance of countries began to be replaced by the individualism of each country. During the Fourth Middle East War, the Arab countries' joint use of oil weapons can be seen as the last afterglow of pan-Islamism. Its powerful power is putting pressure on all powerful countries.
It has also caused huge losses to Arab countries. After all, these countries have nothing to offer except oil.
Although the United States' overall Middle East policy is very successful, there is only one big loophole, which is the collapse of the Pahlavi dynasty, which is regarded as an Islamic heresy by Arab countries (one is a Shiite and the other is a Sunni.). This allows the United States to have more influence in the Middle East.
There is a vacancy in the dual-anchor policy. Iran moves from the United States to the Middle East
The largest ally has become one of the biggest enemies. Until the 21st century, the Iranian government is still confronting the United States on many issues. If history holds no surprises, pan-Islamism will still emerge in this dimension. This is the strength of the country.
The result of the combined effect of the rise of nationalism and nationalism.
The emergence of a national group that controls most of the world's oil reserves is naturally not good news for major powers. In order to deal with this situation, the best way is to let the self-confident Arab countries bump their heads in the face of the facts.
Breaking the Bleeding Stream. Historical Israel Support in the United States
We fought five times with Arab countries, except for the fourth war, which was a draw. The other four times were a total defeat for the Arab countries. The fifth time, it even reached Beirut directly! From then on, the entire alliance collapsed completely, and it could never recover from the past.
It was a grand occasion, and Arab countries began to embrace the United States.
Therefore, China may have to support some countries in the Middle East to deal with this trend of thought, and Iran, which cannot deal with Arab countries, and the Jewish state that will emerge in the future are undoubtedly the best choices. From a strategic point of view, China's policy in the Middle East is almost history
An improved version of U.S. policy in the Middle East. No
After this time, China will take some preventive measures for the future Pahlavi Dynasty to avoid the eventual collapse of the country due to excessive centralization, luxury, corruption and other issues in the Pahlavi Dynasty in history. For example, the Pahlavi Dynasty will be a complete monarch.
The system becomes a constitutional monarchy, as long as the monarch's rights are also limited.
