At Prime Minister Mossadegh's age, especially in Europe and the United States, there are many old politicians who discriminate against China from the bottom of their hearts, and they are also very stubborn. They are relatively rare in Iran. The CIA has enough evidence to confirm that Prime Minister Mossadegh He is not grateful at all for helping Iran get rid of British colonial rule. Perhaps in his opinion, if it were not for China, the Qajar dynasty would not be overthrown and Pahlavi would not come to power.
It is definitely not an easy thing to deal with such a stubborn old Iranian who hates China and has deep prejudice against China.
Emperor Song Biao sincerely prepared very good Wuyi black tea and some traditional Iranian refreshments, and received Mossadegh in the rose garden. In addition to the emperor and Mossadegh, he was also accompanied by the imperial ambassador to Iran. A first-class translator at the embassy, ??Mossadegh was also accompanied by a young translator.
An old man always seems very calm. Prime Minister Mossadegh did not know that Emperor Song Biao already knew his intelligence very well. On the surface, he still looked very humble and used Chinese etiquette to pay homage to Emperor Song Biao.
After the two sat down, they had a relatively simple conversation about British colonial issues, Sino-Iranian cooperation, and economic and trade. They exchanged some opinions and seemed very harmonious. Prime Minister Mossadegh even looked like he admired Emperor Song Biao very much. , always praising the emperor and the Chinese Empire.
Emperor Song Biao just listened and did not expose Prime Minister Mossadegh's background.
Mohammad Mossadegh, who has lived in Britain, France and Switzerland for a long time, is one of those rare Westernized Iranians. Although he is older, he is not stubborn and rigid, nor does he adhere to fundamentalist trends. During his tenure, In the past three years, the reform policies he implemented have been very effective without angering fundamental conservatives.
This is quite rare.
For Iran. Emperor Song Biao has the status of a supreme emperor, and Prime Minister Mossadegh seems to be applying for the position of Prime Minister of Iran, with elegant words. He has a humble demeanor and has repeatedly quoted traditional Chinese classics of Confucianism to support his ruling thoughts.
Listening to his oral description of the future of Iran, Emperor Song Biao found it quite interesting. It seemed to be the most perfect country in the human world.
Emperor Song Biao just found it interesting. Because he knew very well that Prime Minister Mossadegh was more like a liar at this moment and was defrauding his trust.
The original meeting time was only one hour, but Prime Minister Mossadegh cleverly wasted half an hour. Emperor Song Biao has been listening to the other party's half-truths and half-false thoughts without saying much.
It was probably almost half the time. Song Biao consciously raised his wrist and checked the time. Seeing that it was indeed 9:30, he was about to say something serious.
Finding that Emperor Song Biao looked at his watch, Prime Minister Mossadegh politely stopped and did not continue talking, but waited quietly, guessing that Emperor Song probably had other schedules later.
Song Biao also glanced at Mossadegh. He said very frankly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I feel that you don't understand me very well, and I also suggest that we say something really useful. I want to clarify one question, and that is whether you are biased against our country as our intelligence officials have concluded. , and had the idea of ??restoring the Qajar dynasty with the help of Britain and France."
Hearing this. Prime Minister Mossadegh was shocked. He looked surprised and turned pale.
He hurriedly defended: "No, I think that is definitely not the case. I am full of gratitude to your country. Maybe I did not express such a view clearly during my administration, but this is what I sincerely say. Of course, I do not deny that in many projects in Iran, your consortium has pursued interests too much and ignored the feelings of the Iranian people. As for the restoration of the Qajar dynasty, although I have shared my views with many officials and members of the royal family from the previous dynasty, We still maintain some contact, but that is just normal interaction. Politics is realistic, Your Majesty, and I will never put Iran and the Iranian people in danger for those unrealistic fantasies."
Listening to his explanation, Emperor Song Biao nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said: "I think you must know that the empire has the best intelligence system in the world, so everything I say to you here is true. The exact intelligence can be confirmed. I am not actually concerned about your true thoughts as Prime Minister. I just need to remind you that if King Pahlavi does something that is not in the long-term interests of the Asian League, China and Iran, and the Iranian people, I personally am willing to negotiate with him, but if you want to do something that is not in the common interest of China and Iran, I can guarantee that the empire will never stand idly by. For people of your age and me, we may still be living in the past In the habit of thinking, we always believe how powerful Western European and American countries like Britain, France, Germany and the United States are. However, times have changed drastically. In today's world, our country has enough military strength to defeat the United States at the same time.Any two other military powers, even the Soviet Union and Germany, or Britain and the United States. At the same time, we have very high expectations for Iran. We are willing to permanently maintain the special and close alliance between China and Iran and support Iran to become a stronger country, whether it is secular or religious. This is important to us. It is not particularly important. What is important is the choice of the Iranian people. If Iran needs to get more benefits in long-term cooperation, we can negotiate on this. China is not a traditional Western power. All the problems we face can be solved through negotiation, because we truly value friendship, but If you are determined to use the traditional and crude balancing tactics of great powers as a threat, I can guarantee that neither you nor Iran will have a good outcome. To put it simply, we need a sincere and brave Iran as China¡¯s most important ally in the Middle East and West Asia, not a hypocritical, greedy, selfish and false ally. Similarly, if you, as Prime Minister, do not want to be China's most sincere ally, then tell your people and your monarch not to play these crude tricks with us. I will not interfere with your being the Prime Minister of Iran. It is Iran's internal affairs and we will not interfere. But if I don't like you and China doesn't like you, we will make it clear. If there is no improvement in the near future, we will directly tell the Iranian people that you are the person we don't like. . "
After saying these words, Emperor Song Biao continued to ask Prime Minister Mossadegh simply, clearly and forcefully: "Do you understand what I said?"
Prime Minister Mossadegh finally realized what a world hegemon is.
In his impression, even Britain has never been so domineering. In any case, he is the Prime Minister of Iran after all, how can he face such a direct threat. at the same time. He also understood that what he had done in the past two years had completely angered China and His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, this is a legendary emperor as magical as Alexander the Great. He was once known as the Napoleon of the East. In fact, the achievements of this emperor have far exceeded Napoleon.
Prime Minister Mossadegh didn¡¯t know how to deal with it for a while. How should we answer these questions and warnings?
He was silent, and his heart seemed to be as heavy as a Damavand Peak.
Emperor Song Biao still stared forcefully and coldly at the Iranian Prime Minister he didn't like. After waiting for a while, he still couldn't wait for Prime Minister Mossadegh's answer. He then said again: "As a monarch of an empire, I hope you can have good cooperation with my prime minister in the future to jointly safeguard China-Iran relations and the unity of the Asian Alliance. As a monarch, I hope you can be like me." Be as loyal to your monarch as the prime minister, if you can't be loyal to your country and your monarch. I suggest resigning now, don't be a person who destroys your country and destroys the constitutional monarchy, that will make you the Iranian people sinner."
Prime Minister Mossadegh remained silent for a while. He began to realize the pressure he was under, in addition to resigning. He may not have a better choice. He had never thought about what it would mean to offend Hua Huang and China. Now, he understood, but it was too late.
When he was considering whether to resign or find another way to solve the problem, Emperor Song Biao looked at his watch again and said: "I think there is no need to waste time later. If we need to negotiate specific diplomatic and administrative affairs, You can consult with our country¡¯s deputy foreign minister and finance minister, and they will give you a good answer. As for whether you should choose to resign or change yourself and serve your country and monarch in a better way, I think This is your own choice, and what my country and I will do is still wait and see what happens, but I want to warn you not to continue to anger our country, especially when I know what kind of person you are."
After saying these words, Emperor Song Biao ignored the Prime Minister very coldly and asked the chamberlain beside him to light a cigar and sit in his wicker chair to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the rose garden of Golestan Palace.
Prime Minister Mossadegh was still silently struggling in his heart, and he still seemed to be very calm in the face of the empire's harsh criticism, but some clues of his inner struggle and panic could be seen in his slightly trembling hands.
After the one-hour meeting time expired, the chamberlain persuaded Prime Minister Mossadegh to leave, who was unwilling and did not know how to answer the question.
After he left, Emperor Song Biao also sighed helplessly.
History always has an inevitable trajectory, but he still doesn¡¯t want the Iranian revolution to happen. That would be unprecedented bad news for the empire. In fact, there is nothing worse and more terrifying than Iran becoming a religious country.
It is impossible for the empire to support its own prime minister in Iran. This is unrealistic. Even if it can barely do so, it will be at the expense of damaging the long-term friendship and interests between China and Iran.
All the empire can do is sendSend more consultants and scholars to provide Iran with better professional advice and think tank consultation, provide Iran with better technical assistance, export the imperial reformism, and slowly allow Iran to maintain its current moderate reformist status in a stable situation. long-term governing environment.
Emperor Song Biao was not an Iranian, so he could not consider issues such as how to make the country modern and prosperous from an Iranian perspective. The only people who can ultimately answer this question are the Iranians themselves, and sometimes this really requires luck. .
To a certain extent, it is a hundred times more difficult for Islamic countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq to become a modern, prosperous and powerful country than for China.
?Perhaps, Iran needs a good monarch.
In the rose garden of the Golestan Palace, Emperor Song Biao suddenly thought of a way that might have a certain effect. He decided to send the prince of the Pahlavi dynasty to study at the Central Imperial University and serve as a chamberlain beside him. , trained by him.
Iran is very important. If there is a problem in Iran, once a religious revolution occurs, the entire Middle East will never be reconciled. The empire is the world's hegemon and controls the Middle East, so it must be responsible for the long-term stability of the Middle East.
If the empire cannot effectively control the Iranian problem. If Iran cannot at least become a quasi-modern country similar to Turkey, the challenges the empire will face in the Middle East in the future will be terrible, and it is simply unimaginable.
The current crown prince of the Pahlavi dynasty is Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of King Reza Khan Pahlavi. Crown Prince Reza is 21 years old this year. When Chen Wu served as Iran's top military adviser, he established a complete military education system for the Iranian Pahlavi Dynasty. It was basically completely transplanted into the empire's military education. The king doted on his crown prince. . Initially, he did not want to send him to a military school. Under Chen Wu's persuasion, Crown Prince Reza entered Tehran's Young Officers School from the age of 14. After graduating from the Youth Military Academy, Crown Prince Reza did not study at the Tehran Military Academy in Iran. Instead, he went to the Far Eastern Army Noncommissioned Officer School in Shenyang, China, and transferred to the International Branch of the Far Eastern Military Academy for further studies in three years.
As the leading country with the highest level of military education within the Asian League, China must have the responsibility to train first-class military experts and generals for other member countries of the Asian League. However, the Central Military Academy will never be open to the outside world, and in imperial military education The Far Eastern Military Academy, second only to the Central Military Academy, must assume this responsibility. The international branch of the Far Eastern Military Academy is located in Vladivostok. It is a comprehensive military school with more than 20 departments including the Navy, Air Force, Army, Staff, Intelligence, Logistics, and National Defense Science and Technology. It is characterized by its broad and refined scope and many majors. . The teachers are excellent. On average, there are only more than 300 freshmen admitted per class, and there are only a dozen students in each class. The elimination rate is also very high.
Young male members of the royal families of Brunei, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, etc. will receive military and modern science, philosophy, and political education at the international branch of the Far Eastern Military Academy.
Emperor Song Biao had some impressions of Crown Prince Reza, because he met this young man two years ago and once invited him and a prince from the Saudi royal family to the Chengde Summer Resort for vacation. If he remembers correctly, Crown Prince Reza should be here next year. It is to graduate from the Army Major of the International Branch of the Far Eastern Military Academy.
Like Crown Prince Yuhua of the Empire, Emperor Song Biao would definitely recommend that Crown Prince Reza go to the School of Political Science and Law of the Central Imperial University to study for a master's degree in international politics. After Crown Prince Reza graduates from the Central Imperial University, he would then be sent to the inner court to serve as a chamberlain for a few years. , or a job as a researcher in the Central Policy Bureau.
These are all good arrangements.
Of course, Emperor Song Biao did not hope that Crown Prince Reza would become a very tough emperor in the future. This was definitely not a good thing, so the two-year master's degree study at the Central Imperial University was a very important process.
As a world hegemon, it has to consider and bear a lot of world responsibilities, especially in Asia. China has very important responsibilities. If Asia is unstable, the empire's status as a world hegemon will be unstable. This is a very Simple basic principles.
After meeting with Prime Minister Mossadegh in the morning, under the arrangement of Finance Minister Chen Jin, Emperor Song Biao continued to meet with several tribal leaders from southern Iran and some religious leaders in Iran in the afternoon, including those who were opposed to the Iranian parliament. Party leader Ayatollah Hassan Moderes.
Ayatollah is the honorific title of the Iranian Shia religious leader, and it is also a very high clerical position. There are only 12 ayatollahs in Iran, and the most senior leader is called the Grand Ayatollah.
King Reza Khan was an anti-clerical king. This was because Iran¡¯s clerical power had a very strong impact on the royal power. If the king wanted to promote Iran to become a modern country, sectarian institutions and religion were also his biggest priority. of enemies.
The Central Intelligence Agency is the world¡¯sOne of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world. They not only collect military, economic, technological, and political intelligence from various countries, but also collect polling data from various countries. These polling data and other intelligence will be shared with the Central Bureau for Policy Research, and The Central Bureau for Policy Research itself is also the main think tank of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Central Cabinet.
According to the research of the Central Bureau of Policy Research, the situation in Iran is indeed very complicated. Most of the grassroots people are opposed to the king's modernization policy. The state adviser appointed by the empire in the Kingdom of Iran is Mapuren.
Map Puren was born in the Ma family of the Hui ethnic group in Gansu Province. He graduated from the Central Imperial University. He served as governor of Gansu Province for two terms and as a member of the Standing Committee of the Religious Committee of the National Assembly. After Chen Wu returned to China, he was appointed by the Central Cabinet to serve as Iran's State Counselor, working closely with him. Also arriving in Iran to take over the post of Chen Wu's top military adviser was his cousin Ma Zhongying.
After the pacification of the northwest, Ma Zhongying entered the Central Military Academy for further study. During the Sino-Soviet War, he was a commander of the cavalry regiment. After that, he served in the Novosibirsk Military Region for a long time and retired two years ago with the rank of Army Lieutenant General.
After Mapuren arrived in Iran, he also believed that the religious problems in Iran were still very serious. He repeatedly suggested that King Reza Khan adopt more moderate measures. At present, it seems that the effect of these new policies is not very good.
As a state adviser, Mapuren has a good relationship with Iran's religious institutions. He also respects Iran's Grand Ayatollah Brujdi and has a close relationship with the opposition leader Ayatollah Hassan Moderes. It's also good that this time he accompanied the opposition leader Ayatollah Moderes to meet Emperor Song Biao.
For these people, Song Biao's attitude was still very soft, and the conversation throughout the afternoon was very harmonious. However, during the conversation, Song Biao could also feel that these ayatollahs subconsciously regarded him as a sinner. pagans to look at.
Religion is a good thing, but sometimes it can also be a very bad trouble.
The most complicated thing about the Iranian problem is that its religion is too repellent. All non-believers are natural enemies in their hearts, and they must either kill them or make them surrender.
This kind of thinking is really scary.
After talking to the opposition leader Ayatollah Moderiz in the afternoon, they seemed very harmonious on the surface, but Emperor Song Biao felt really complicated and troubled in his heart. Even people like him could not find any solution at all. way.
Some anthropologists once proposed that the extinction of cavemen was because their populations clung to traditional culture and hunting methods and failed to adapt to changes in the natural climate, which led to large-scale population disappearance and eventual extinction.
"Adhering to backward lifestyles, ideas, morals, laws, and social rules is a major factor leading to self-destruction of the human race.
After sending these opposition leaders and religious figures away, Song Biao was very troubled, because this was the first time he felt that it was so difficult to change the world, and he had no way to solve these problems.
In this case, he came to a very simple conclusion.
If it cannot solve the problem and cannot help one party gradually eliminate and suppress the other party, the empire should maintain friendship more broadly, which can also be said to remain neutral, and at the same time resolutely prevent the emergence of religious states in principle.
Even if it is difficult to find suitable friends on the religious side, the empire should still be a qualified friend on both sides, act as a coordinator, maintain communication channels and non-intensified relations for both sides, so that both sides can tolerate what the other side does. for.
This is the only way.
¡°This itself is a ** barrel. If you ignite it, it will definitely spread to the country and cause greater trouble to China.
