――――――――――――――――――――

In Chen Geng's room, the atmosphere was very solemn.

Chen Gengzheng introduced some of the things he knew about the Pahlavi dynasty and Queen Farah, including some of the things that the queen did during the Pahlavi dynasty and when she was in exile......

"So that's the case," finally waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Li Xiaoshuang sighed, and at the same time he was a little curious: "Xiao Chen, these things, unless they are diplomats who pay attention to this direction, even the leaders of the diplomatic system don't have such a deep understanding of the Iranian Pahlavi dynasty, how do you know so much?" ”

He really couldn't imagine how Chen Geng could know so much about a country thousands of miles away from China.

"As a small businessman who has a bit of pursuit, since you want to invest in other places, you must always have an understanding of other people's customs, otherwise you don't know how to be cheated by others." Chen Geng pretended to be forced lightly.

"Rub!"

Li Xiaoshuang was directly stunned: "It's just a small business, do you want to be so exaggerated?" ”

Director Zhang of the Ministry of Commerce said angrily: "Don't be foolish if you don't understand, what is a small business, the whole republic, you count with your fingers, how many enterprises can compare with Runhua Industry in terms of vitality and scale?" ”

After speaking, Director Zhang looked at Chen Geng and said with emotion: "Chairman Chen, I won't tell you, I'm still quite curious about your Runhua Industry, why can Runhua Industry develop in such a short period of time?" Now it seems that with all your efforts, this is really what you deserve. ”

How can I take this? Chen Geng hurriedly said politely: "We just did what we had to do......

"Do what you need to do to the best, that's what you're good at, how many people don't do what they need to do well?" Director Zhang became more and more emotional, and saw that Chen Geng didn't seem to want to talk about the topic, so he shook his head and stopped continuing the topic: "It's far away, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"I don't have any opinions, I completely listen to the state's arrangement." Chen Geng's trick -- not a trick -- involving the widow and children of the former Iranian king -- this is definitely not a trivial matter, and it is beyond the scope of Chen Geng's decision.

"Then wait and see what it means." Director Zhang also nodded slightly, even if this matter is settled.

After it was decided, Director Zhang said with emotion: "I just heard Comrade Chen Geng finish talking about the past of the Pahlavi king, I am really emotional, this Pahlavi king can be regarded as an outstanding monarch, but after all, he still can't go against the trend of history, can't confront the will of the people, and the monarchy is not the direction of historical development after all......

Hey?

Director Zhang suddenly found that Chen Geng's face seemed to be a little disapproving of his words, although he did not reveal this attitude, and seemed to deliberately restrain it, but the slightest change in expression between Chen Geng's eyebrows still did not hide Director Zhang's observation.

Comrade Chen Geng disagrees with his own words? Director Zhang was not angry, on the contrary, he was a little interested, knowing that Chen Geng actually knew so much about the modern history of Iran since the 50s of this century, he suddenly wanted to hear how Chen Geng viewed the Islamic Revolution.

"Comrade Chen Geng, you seem to have a different view of the Islamic revolution that brought Iran to democracy?" Director Zhang, who was talking, suddenly asked Chen Geng.

Why did you talk about me? Chen Geng was taken aback, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, I think what Director Zhang said is very good." ”

"Comrade Chen Geng, don't be modest," Director Zhang said with a smile: "I just noticed that you seem to have a different view on the situation in Iran......

Seeing that Chen Geng was about to speak, Director Zhang once again grabbed the front of the words, and said with a smile: "We all know very little about the situation in Iran, at best it is just a few words, I believe that if it wasn't for Chen Geng to introduce everyone, some comrades here must not know what the Pahlavi Shah has done, since Comrade Chen Geng knows so much, it is completely normal to have some different views, anyway, everyone is just chatting idly, can you just talk about it?" ”

Director Zhang's words immediately aroused the interest of others, and the comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs smiled and said: "Comrade Chen Geng, if you really have any opinions, then tell me, and I won't hide it from you, we don't necessarily have these things in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." ”

Chen Geng was still giving in at the beginning, but when everyone said this, Chen Geng finally couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Then I'll just talk about it, well, it's just some of my personal immature opinions, if you think it's not good, don't laugh at me." ”

"You say, let's just talk casually?" Director Zhang said heartily.

After organizing measures, Chen Gengfang said slowly: "Combined with the historical data I learned about Iran from the 50s to the 80s, my personal opinion is that this so-called 'Islamic Revolution' is not a war of democracy and dictatorship at all, nor is it a victory of the people's will, this is simply a war between theocracy and kingship, and now it seems that it is obviously the victory of theocracy over kingship." ”

Theocracy triumphed over kingship? Chen Geng's words made the brows of the people present furrow suddenly: Chen Geng's understanding of the Islamic Revolution is really subversive enough.

The Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran did not have a far-reaching impact on the republic, nor was it the focus of research in the theoretical circles of the republic, and Iran was not a superpower, That's why the Pahlavi king was overthrown by a revolution, but now listening to Chen Geng say this, although everyone does not doubt the understanding they have formed over the years, but everyone's historical knowledge is good, combined with the confrontation between divine power and royal power in ancient Chinese history, everyone suddenly found that this Islamic revolution is really a bit like a confrontation between divine power and royal power.

Now that the words have come to this, Chen Geng no longer hides his opinions, and simply says directly: "Do you remember the data I just listed? It is said that a country has maintained a GDP growth rate of more than 7% for many years under the leadership of a leader, how remarkable is this achievement? But is it normal for a leader who focuses on domestic affairs and long-term economic development to have his rule completely collapsed because of a revolution initiated and initiated by religious circles?

Again, to analyze this period of Iran's history, we must also combine Iran's special national conditions: the status of Islam in Iran, and what is the status of this religion in Iran? To put it mildly, this religion has permeated every aspect of Iran, permeated every corner of Iran, and has taken root in the deepest parts of the country.

If the Pahlavi king was just a mediocre king, it would be fine, but he was capable, ambitious, and repeatedly raised the status of the royal power throughout Iran, how did the Pahlavi Shah's approach be viewed in the eyes of religious people?

Obviously, this is a threat.

The better the power of the Pahlavi king, the greater the threat of royal power to theocracy! The greater the influence and prestige of the king, the more detrimental it is to religion to rule over people's brains, which they absolutely do not allow - you can imagine what it would be like if such a situation occurred in our country. ”

Chen Geng didn't say it, everyone hadn't thought of this yet, because everyone was used to looking at problems with materialism and Marxism-Leninism, but now when Chen Geng asked such a rhetorical question, everyone was suddenly shocked: Yes, if in a country, the power and influence of religion have been so great, what kind of situation would it be?

There is no such historical stage in the history of China, for example, in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when the Buddha was at its peak, there was an emperor who believed in Buddhism and was starved to death by the Buddhists, which was also the only period in ancient Chinese history when the divine power was above the imperial power. However, we must also be vigilant against the development of religion and not allow the education of history to repeat itself.

Anyway, the words have already come to this, Chen Gengyi gritted his teeth and said: "I look at an event, those so-called analyses are useless, many interpretations are based on their own needs to give the interpretation they want, in my opinion, what is the effect of this revolution, just look at the final result, who benefits the most in the end?" Religion without a doubt!

Although Iran was renamed a republic, was the position of theocracy strengthened or weakened? There is no doubt that it has been strengthened; Whether theocracy's ability to control the population has been strengthened or weakened, there is no doubt that it has been weakened. So my view is that no matter what this Islamic revolution is, since theocracy has benefited the most and is the biggest beneficiary of this struggle against royal power, then the final answer should be obvious. ”

For a while, the room was quiet, everyone was reminiscing about the meaning of Chen Geng's words, but no one spoke anymore.

After a long time, Director Zhang let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Chen, your point of view is a bit sensational. (To be continued.) )
