Red Soviet Union

Iran, known as Persia in ancient times, is located in the Middle East, close to the Caspian Sea in the north-central and the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea in the south.

In the last century, with the invasion of European powers, Iran gradually became a semi-colonial country, its social economy declined, the feudal rule was arbitrary and brutal, and many people's uprisings occurred. In February 1921, the military officer Reza Khan - Pahlavi launched a coup, seized power and established the Pahlavi dynasty.

As the first country to discover oil on the coast of the Persian Gulf, after the establishment of the Pahlavi Dynasty, oil exploitation was nationalized, and Iran began to develop rapidly.

Especially after entering the 1970s, the first oil crisis broke out, oil prices soared, and a group of oil-producing countries along the Persian Gulf quickly became rich. Within a few years, Iran's gross national product has doubled several times. For example, in 1973, the Iranian government's oil revenue was 2.8 billion US dollars, and in 1975, this figure became 17.8 billion US dollars.

Iran, whose annual oil output reaches about 200 million tons, ranks first in the Middle East and fourth in the world. Iran has also become a rich country in the world.

Unfortunately, as a daring and knowledgeable monarch, Pahlavi wanted to build a former Persian empire, so Iran started a white revolution. The indicators of various economic development plans have been continuously improved, substantial investment has been made in the industrial field, and industrial construction has been accelerated forcibly. He has attempted to build Iran into an industrial country on an equal footing with industrially developed countries by the end of this century, and become the world's "fifth largest". powerful country".

It's a pity that he never went to the lower level. In the process of industrialization, the lifeline of the country was completely destroyed. A large number of farmers who lost their land had to enter the city. They were ragged and had nothing. At the same time, the 2,000 wealthy families headed by the king and the royal family amassed wealth, plundered, corrupted, and lavished money. The vast number of farmers and urban poor hardly benefited from the surge in oil wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor grew at the same time as social wealth.

The whole of Iran seems to be sitting on the crater, and the anger of the people will erupt at any time!

At the same time, Iran is completely Westernized, with women wearing naked clothes, walking around the streets at will, and there are even xing workers. This disgusts many believers.

Just last year, when Pahlavi visited the United States, a large number of Iranian students studying in the United States held an anti-Shah demonstration near the White House lawn. The scale was so large that the US police had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd.

This year, protests and demonstrations in the holy city of Qom, Iran, were suppressed by the Pahlavi government, resulting in about 70 deaths and 400 wounded bloodshed. The bloodshed in Qom ignited the flame of the Iranian revolution!

At the same time, Iran's zongjiao leaders also began to step on the Iranian political stage, calling on the people to rise up, oppose the monarchy, and advocate the implementation of a ysl government!

In fact, Pahlavi's idea is correct, but on the road to industrialization, he made mistakes and ignored the interests of the people. In later generations, Iran can scold the United States and the Soviet Union for eight years while both sides offended Iraq, and it can also thrive under the blockade of the West, and occasionally disgust the United States. Industrialization created by Pahlavi. The United States in later generations can fight Iraq, Syria, and Libya, but it cannot fight Iran, because Iran is an industrial country! Iran's war potential far exceeds that of Iraq, which claims to be the fourth most powerful country in the world!

"Just today, in Tehran, the capital of Iran, a large-scale demonstration took place. The crowd was as high as one million. They demanded to end the monarchy, accept hmn as the supreme leader, establish a ysl government, restore agriculture, protect religion, and allow exiles to return home, etc. "The White House chief of staff said: "Pahlavi has completely lost control of the situation in Iran. It is very likely that Iran will undergo a regime change in the near future."

Bad news one after another! After listening to these reports, Carter frowned countless wrinkles.

The developed western industrial countries are all built on the basis of cheap oil, and oil is the black blood of industry! As the first oil-producing country in the Middle East, the United States definitely does not want this country out of its control!

"Last year, Sullivan made an analysis and believed that Pahlavi's ability was not enough to maintain the political situation in Iran. I hope we can prepare early." Secretary of State Warren said: "However, at that time, our eyes were all on Hokkaido. Not paying too much attention."

At that time, no one paid attention. After all, the situation in the Far East was the most important thing. Now, seeing that Pahlavi is about to end, the United States is in a hurry. It is already too late.

"Warren, what do you think we should do?" Carter asked.

"Since Pahlavi can't control Iran, then we simply choose another agent. If hmn can really control the situation in Iran, we might as well cooperate with him. We do not interfere in their domestic affairs, we only ask them to be normal. oil.” Warren said: “In this way, in exchange for continued peace in the Gulf.”

The United States supports puppet regimes in other countries. If this regime is not strong enough, it will support another! In Africa and Latin America, this is the tried and tested method of the United States.

"No, absolutely not!" Hearing Warren say that, Secretary of Defense Harold said: "Those guys, they're crazy, can't think with our regular brains, really, those guys of faith, to us American liberty and democracy are deeply disgusting, and we hate our culture, and we simply have no way of cooperating with them.”

Working with those guys? This is not a good thing~www.wuxiax.com~ They are different from Pahlavi, different from Saudi and Kuwaiti royal families!

"Then what do you think we should do?" Warren asked rhetorically.

"We send troops to help Pahlavi maintain national stability!" Harold said: "Our army can only better maintain our oil security if it is directly stationed in Iran!"

Garrison again! Hearing Harold's words, Warren couldn't help shaking his head: "No, our troops stationed in the island countries have already faced such a big problem, the Soviet Union will not give up this opportunity, and will definitely oppose us on the Iran issue, such as Support hmn against us, we really want to have troops in the gulf, that's not possible."

After discussing for a long time, there is no conclusion! Carter felt like a terrible day! He sat down and heard the phone beside him ringing harshly.

"Mr. President, our island country embassy was occupied by a group of self-proclaimed patriotic students. Two hundred and thirteen people, including Ambassador Green, became hostages." The voice on the other end of the phone showed a trace of panic. This is the voice of Lieutenant General Paul, commander of the US military in Japan. (To be continued.)
