Chapter 1001 Germany is generous to Iran
In history, King Reza Khan was forced to step down and go into exile under the joint attack of Britain and the Soviet Union, which shows how much he was in a bag at that time, and a comfortable life would make a person lose his fighting spirit.
At that time, the reason why Reza Khan was deposed by Britain and the Soviet Union was because he was too close to Germany, and when he left, all the Germans in Iran were also taken away by the British and the Soviet Union as prisoners, and the part taken by the Soviets went to Siberia to sell coolies, and the share taken by the British was exiled to Australia.
Now, Germany is not going to watch such a thing happen!
"Your Majesty, we have received information that the Soviets have placed a large number of troops on the Iranian border and want to disadvantage Iran." The German ambassador addressed the king.
Now, it was already night, and the German ambassador came in a hurry, not even waiting for the next day, because the situation was urgent.
Hearing this, Reza Khan immediately got up from his chair: "What? The Soviets are going to attack us, why? β
Why? You are weak, is there any reason for this world?
The German ambassador said: "The Soviets are stepping up their deployment and may launch an offensive in the near future, Your Majesty the King, please make a decision as soon as possible, we in Germany will never see our fellow Aryans being bullied." β
Make a decision early, fight or make peace? Is there a choice for Iran?
"Yes, thanks to our ally Germany." Reza Khan said: "How are German friends going to help us? β
"In our country, we have mobilized an integrated division, which can be mobilized to Iran at any time." The German ambassador continued: "We want to organize a military parade and exercises with Tehran, and if someone dares to invade Iran, our German army will definitely not stand idly by." β
"In that case, that's great!" Reza Khan said, "So, what do you want?" β
In this world, there is no free lunch, Germany can risk war with the Soviet Union and send troops to support Iran, so what benefits does Germany need?
"We don't have any demands, as long as we continue to maintain our existing trade cooperation and ensure the smooth transfer of the Anglo-Iranian oil company's exploitation rights in the Iranian oil fields, it is enough." The German ambassador said: "We help our fellow Aryans without remuneration. β
Historically, in May 1908, British entrepreneur Darcy and others discovered a large oil field in the Masjid Suleiman region in southwestern Persia. The following year, they founded the Anglo-Polish Petroleum Company, which in 1935 became the Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company, later known as BP.
When Britain was liberated by Germany, George VI organized a government-in-exile and wandered in the Middle East.
For Iran, it doesn't make a difference, anyway, as long as Iran can get the profits, and even Iran wants to expel the oil company, just so that all the oil interests can be nationalized, of course, the idea can only be thought of now.
Although he had good relations with Germany, he did not offend the British government-in-exile for the sake of Germany, after all, Churchill was followed by Americans.
But what does it mean that the German ambassador has put forward a condition that guarantees a smooth transfer of mining rights for this company?
Because the Anglo-Iranian oil company was still serving the government of George VI, Edward VIII was angry and personally signed an order to sell everything that this oil company had in Iran to the Munich oil company.
The Anglo-Iranian oil company already belongs to Germany, and now Germany wants to take over all the oil companies, as long as Iran expells the existing British people of the oil company, it is enough.
What Germany needs is an attitude from Reza Khan, and if he wants to stay out of it, then Germany can also watch the Soviet Union teach Iran a lesson.
"When the handover is completed, we can change the existing way, the profits of all oil companies are transparent to Iran, and at the same time, the profits of oil are split 55 with Iran."
Hearing this, Reza Khan was overjoyed in an instant: "Okay, we in Iran will fully agree to this plan, we and Germany are originally of the same origin, and now, we can't do without Germany's help." β
This was almost the fulfillment of Reza Khan's wish.
The black gold was buried in the ground of Iran, but it did not bring much wealth to Iran, and all the oil profits here were taken away by the British. Although some was given to the Iranian government, because it was not transparent at all, Iran was the one who absolutely suffered, for example, Iran once calculated that they did not even get a tenth of the oil profits!
Reza Khan used to be ambitious and wanted to revive Iran's economy, but all this requires a source of wealth, and oil is the best.
And now, this German plan is completely in line with Iran's interests, and of course he will raise his hands in favor of it, even if he offends the United States for this!
With these oil profits, Iran's economy is just around the corner!
Looking at Reza Khan's expression, the German ambassador secretly admired in his heart that FΓΌhrer Shirek had really taken precautions and expected everything.
In fact, Germany is not rare Iranian oil, with the advance of General Rommel, the oil production areas controlled by Germany have been quite a lot, it can be said that the consumption to support Germany to fight this war is only a scratch of the surface.
Germany did this in order to control the oil resources after the war! And then control the whole world through these oil resources, once Germany is unhappy, cut production and raise prices, oil profits will come up with a whizz.
Although Iran's oil is also good, compared with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the cost of Iran's oil wells is high compared with the high-yield self-spewing crude oil that is sprayed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
As fellow Aryans, Germany was very generous to Iran, which made Reza Khan very excited, and agreed without hesitation: "Please German friends, come to our Iran as soon as possible, we can't wait, it's just that the size of the division is a little small, if there are more, it would be better." β
Help Iran in the war, the more the merrier!
"In order to maximize our combat effectiveness and protect Iran from the Soviet Union, we request that your army be placed under the command of our generals." The German ambassador continued.
The combat effectiveness of the German army is incomparable, and the best plan is for German generals to command the coalition forces.
"When the war is over, we will immediately return the military power, please believe in our sincerity." After all, the German ambassador explained, it was a serious unfriendly act to demand that the other side hand over military power.
Before Reza Khan could answer, he saw his prime minister, Mansour, and hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, it's not good, our north, the war is already burning!" β
