    Nasser attaches great importance to the shares of the Suez Canal Company. He finally recovered part of the shares from the British. Now let him spit it out?  How is that possible?  Especially if the shares were transferred to the Soviet Union, which had a ground-to-land relationship, this would simply cost Nasser his life.  If the Soviet Union did not want to solve this problem, then this deal would never be reached.  So does Li Xiaofeng have a solution?  Of course there is, without him it would be impossible for Yevgeny to come over to negotiate with Sadat.  The method Li Xiaofeng came up with was very simple, that is, to attack Britain.  As mentioned earlier, if the Americans want to expand their shares, Egypt will not only be affected. The United Kingdom will also be unable to provide the money.  Since the British cannot come up with the money, as long as Egypt agrees to expand its shares, naturally the British equity will also be affected.  When the time comes, the Soviet Union will pay and directly absorb part of the British shares, which will solve the problem satisfactorily.  Therefore, Yevgeny¡¯s condition to Sadat was: ¡°The Soviet government will ensure that the Egyptian government continues to hold 30% of the Suez Canal Company¡¯s shares, and the Egyptian government needs to absorb at least 11% of the British shares and sell them to the Soviet government.  In this way, your country will not suffer any losses, and may also gain support from the Soviet government on the canal issue! "This is easy to understand. Egypt previously held 40% of the shares of the Suez Canal Company and was the nominal largest shareholder, but because of the British and  The United States each accounts for 30%, so the Egyptians actually have no say in the operation of the canal company.  If this time we can seize the opportunity to seize at least 11% of the equity from the United Kingdom, then if Egypt obtains the support of the Soviet Union, it will occupy more than 50% of the equity in the company's board of directors, and it will be able to initially determine the operating rights.  For Egypt, this is tantamount to disintegrating the tacit understanding between Britain and the United States and breaking their monopoly.  To be honest, Sadat was quite tempted by this suggestion, because according to the Soviet proposal, Egypt would not lose any equity, and it could also break the British and American monopoly, which would be of great help in completely recovering the operating rights of the canal in the future.  This is simply a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!  But Yevgeny always surprises Sadat, because Yevgeny tells him that this is not just killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone!  "If your country finds this condition acceptable, then the Soviet government is willing to exert influence on Israel to promote an early ceasefire between your country and Israel and an early exchange of prisoners" This suggestion was the last straw that broke the camel's back.  , Sadat was not just tempted, but excited. Although he did not agree immediately, he told Yevgeny: "I am personally very satisfied with this and will try my best to persuade the President to agree!"  After the meeting, Sadat immediately went to the presidential residence to report to Nasser. When Nasser heard such a generous solution that could solve all his troubles, he was not only happy, but he was only worried about how the Americans would explain it.  Yes, Nasser knew how eager the Americans were for the Suez Canal from the moment the Americans deliberately planned to expand their shares. It is not difficult to guess that the Americans¡¯ previous wishful thinking was to seize chips from the United Kingdom and Egypt in one fell swoop. It would be best if they could obtain  More than 50% equity.  According to the calculations of Americans, this is not too difficult. Is it difficult for Egypt and the British to grab 10% of the shares?  By then, the Suez Canal Company will be the only company in the United States, and they will have the final say in everything. How cool would that be?  But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin's wishful thinking for the Americans came out of the thorn. Do you think the Americans would be happy?  And if Americans are unhappy, they will naturally hate Nasser. Now that Egypt has just suffered a defeat, Nasser's position is already unstable. If the Americans want to cause trouble, whether Nasser can resist is a big question!  However, Sadat believed that this was not a big problem: "The joining of the Soviet Union will definitely prevent the United States from going too far. To say the least, if you are ousted, the Soviet Union's shares will be lost. The Russians cannot watch it.  Isn¡¯t it? The most important thing is that only this method can satisfactorily solve all the problems we are facing now. This is already the most ideal solution!¡± Nasser was also silent about this. He knew that Sadat was right.  There couldn't be a better solution than this.  Although he hated the Soviet Union for supporting the Jews, he had to admit that only the Soviet Union could solve all these problems.  After some deliberation, Nasser fully agreed.  However, he emphasized one point in particular: "We must do a good job in keeping it secret, and we must not let the Americans know all this, otherwise everything will be in vain!" Indeed, once the Americans know the plans of the Soviet Union and Egypt, then he will definitely  We will not sit back and watch the Soviet Union come in to grab the cake, and things will get serious by then.  In order to keep it secret, Nasser entrusted all negotiations to Sadat. Only Sadat and a very small number of people knew about it. In order to paralyze the Americans, Nasser continued to lower his authority.He appealed to the United States for help in a pleading tone.  After several days of acting like this, when Sadat and Norinco reached a comprehensive agreement, Nasser pretended to be very reluctant and accepted the U.S. proposal to expand the Suez Canal, and held an emergency meeting at the Suez Canal Company.  At the meeting, with the full support of the United States and Egypt, the share expansion proposal was approved. Only the British shareholders in the venue were so shocked that their glasses were broken.  Yes, the British were simply caught off guard. Now that the domestic economy is in a mess, they really can't come up with the additional investment needed to expand the canal.  And as the financial giants hidden behind the US government began to exert pressure, it became impossible for the British to raise funds through lending or borrowing.  All in all, the British have only one way to go, and that is to be slaughtered by others!  The Americans are elated about this "victory" because they achieved their goal without firing a shot. The Soviet Union helped with the guns and bullets, and after all the hard work, the fruits of victory were eaten by us, the United States. This  It¡¯s so satisfying!  "Anyway, the attention of the Americans was instantly diverted. They were busy preparing how to seize shares from the United Kingdom and Egypt, and did not pay attention to Egypt's private actions at all.  Nasser is not stupid. He knows that once the matter is finally exposed, the Americans will definitely be angry and may choose a new agent to replace him.  It is better to take the initiative than to be beaten passively. While the Americans were complacent, Nasser vigorously began a round of purges within Egypt. Those pro-Americans who were close to the United States lost their lives before they understood what was happening.  It can be said that after this round of purges, the United States has lost more than half of its leading party in Egypt, and the remaining half have been scared out of their wits and either fled in a hurry or quickly changed their stance and changed sides.  The Americans actually saw Nasser's actions, but they did not raise alarm because they thought it was just a "self-rescue" measure by Nasser. There were fewer centrist parties in Egypt, and the Americans chose agents in Egypt.  The leeway is also small, so naturally we can only rely on him, Nasser.  Although Americans do not hesitate to like Nasser's approach, it is not unacceptable. For Americans, the difference between having more dogs and having fewer dogs is not too big, and I am rich and can recruit a group of new dogs with just a few dollars.  Dog, it would not be difficult to get rid of Nasser in the future and establish a new agent.  So Americans only pay a little attention to this, and have no special intention. If they pay more attention, they should find that this matter is by no means that simple.  Because not long after Nasser agreed to the U.S. plan, the Soviet Union gave in during a new round of Security Council negotiations on the armistice issue between Egypt and Israel.  In a marathon meeting that consumed a lot of time and energy, after constant bargaining, the Soviet Union agreed to the new armistice agreement proposed by the United States, and it was quickly voted on by the Security Council.  This new armistice agreement stipulates that Egypt and Israel must immediately and unconditionally cease fire within a limited time, and then disengage and return to each other under the supervision of the United Nations Security Council Special Observer Mission.  On the surface, this resolution is more beneficial to Egypt, because at this time, the remaining troops of the Egyptian army have basically been dumped by the Israel Defense Forces. If nothing happens, their destruction is only a matter of time.  At this time, the Security Council's resolution prevented the possibility of the remaining Egyptian troops being annihilated. This is very unfair to Israel.  To be honest, the Americans were a little surprised that the Soviet Union would accept such an armistice agreement. Originally, the Americans never thought that it would be done so quickly.  Originally, they just wanted to make a gesture, just to show Nasser that they had made a move. Who would have thought that the move was actually successful? This is really a bit surprising.  However, surprises are always short-lived. Just when the Americans were happily savoring the so-called victory, a change suddenly happened. At the Suez Canal board meeting, the Egyptians suddenly took out a lot of real money. Not only did they save their own  Share, it was a surprise, grabbing 11% of the shares from the UK, and the Americans only grabbed 14% of the shares from the UK. After a lot of hard work, Egypt's equity soared to  51%, while the British shareholding shrank to 5%, which shocked the Americans!  ¡°Damn Egyptians, where did they get these funds?¡± This problem is not difficult to solve at all, because soon Egypt announced the sale of approximately 11% of its shares to Norinco.  After this round of exchanges, Egypt retained its equity, the Russians finally intervened in the Suez Canal, and the British suffered heavy losses, and it was almost announced that their power was driven out of Egypt.  Afterwards, Churchill said helplessly in his diary: "The Russians once again exceeded our expectations. They can always do things we dare not even think of"   Of course, the most angry ones are the Americans. They have been planning for so long and prepared so well, but in the end they only got some scraps.  Not only did it fail to achieve its goal of dominating the Suez Canal, but it also led the Soviet Union to intervene. This was a complete failure!  Poor Truman was once again surrounded by the media. The successive Cuban crisis and Egyptian crisis made him lose face. The only good news is that his term is coming to an end, and even if he is destroyed, he will only have a few days left.  But the Americans are not easy to mess with. In their opinion, this failure should be entirely attributed to Nasser. If it weren't for this rebel, how could the Soviet Union succeed so easily?  If we don't teach this rebellious boy a lesson, how can the United States deter those bastards?  Nasser must be punished, this bastard must pay!  The Americans were so angry that they rushed towards Nasser with bared teeth and claws, and then retreated dejectedly.  The reason is very simple. Nasser had already cleaned up the internal affairs in advance. Although the Americans were confident of finding new agents, it would take time after all. It would take time for the Americans to find satisfactory agents in a short period of time, and  If this agent wants to come to power, he must accumulate strength, right? Nasser is on tight defense now, and the Americans have little chance.  What's more, the Soviet Union is also watching. They can't allow Nasser to fall so quickly. After all, the canal's shares are not yet popular, right?  As a result, the Americans could only stare blankly. In other words, after this round of confrontation, the Americans suffered twice more losses, especially the second time. After a lot of effort, they even lost their wives and lost their troops.  , tell me whether this is irritating or not.  For a time, there was a flood of attacks on Truman from both the government and the opposition in the United States. Anyway, the hat of being the worst president in the United States was placed on Truman's head one after another, which made Lao Du very depressed.  But now Lao Du has too much debt and no worries about being bitten by lice. Anyway, he is the one who is about to step down. Let public opinion say whatever he wants. Is it possible that public opinion can still impeach him?  Truman's silence meant that the U.S. government and opposition parties fell into silence. After several rounds of probing, the Americans gradually understood the Soviet Union's attitude. The old man is still very strong and is not afraid of head-on confrontation with the United States on various international issues.  , which made the United States realize that its strength must be expanded. Only when it can truly overpower the Soviet Union can it shift from defense to offense.  Therefore, the Americans have once again increased their investment in defense, especially spending a lot of money on nuclear weapons. As for conventional weapons, they have not left behind, and they have put on a fierce pursuit to crush the Soviet Union.  So what is the attitude of the Soviet Union?  At this time, the political leaders of the Soviet Union are actually not interested in taking care of the Americans for the time being. One reason is that the Soviet Union's sense of crisis is not yet strong due to the continuous victories. The other reason is that the conference has been convened, and everyone should pay attention to domestic trends first.  As for the third reason, Lenin was critically ill and in very bad condition
