Chapter 149: The Siege of the Embassy
"Fortunately, I left the palace, otherwise, I really don't know, in our palace, there are actually undercover agents of the Soviets!" Nur Khan said angrily.
Now, the sky outside has brightened slightly, and there is a battle report from the palace, a small team of fifty-two people secretly infiltrated the palace, trying to enter the palace dungeon, but all of them were killed, and it was a servant of the palace who led the way.
This surprised Nurhan, and at the same time, he was glad that he had made the right choice, at such a time, the people around him could not be trusted, but the Germans who came here to protect themselves were more reliable!
Skorzny, who has a scarface, is sitting on a chair and is repairing his nails with a bayonet, and his calm and composive attitude is even more admirable to everyone, everything is under control!
"Now that it's dawn, the cavalry can salvage the bodies of the drowned Soviets outside the city." "It's time for the Soviets to take a stand out for their aggression against Iran, Your Majesty, are you still going to watch the Soviets get away with Tehran?" ”
Reza Khan, of course, knew what Skorzny was referring to.
It stands to reason that Iran should have expelled Soviet diplomats just after the Soviets invaded Iranian territory, and now that they have entered a state of war, there is certainly no need for the other side's diplomats to stay.
Look at the United States, after the island country attacked Pearl Harbor, it immediately detained the ambassador of the island country and others, waiting for the exchange between the two sides.
Iran did not do this, on the one hand, because things were developing too fast, and now the war has only been fought for a week, and on the other hand, Reza Khan is still a little weak in his heart, the Soviet is a behemoth, and he does not want to completely offend the Soviet Union.
Now, Skorzny is unrelentingly pointing it out.
"These incidents last night have nothing to do with the Soviet embassy." "Without them, there would have been no incidents, so simply use the attack on the palace to search the Soviet embassy thoroughly, and we will definitely be able to find more evidence, and then expel them to prevent future troubles," Skorzny said. ”
Reza Khan listened to Skorzny's words and was silent, his heart was still hesitating, would it be too much to do this?
"Father, I have a great idea." At this moment, Princess Achraf on the side spoke: "Last night there were gunshots in our palace, and the whole Tehran knew about it, so let's just release the news, saying that the Soviet embassy planned it behind it, what will the people do after hearing the news?" ”
Princess Achraf also did not want to completely antagonize the Soviet Union, this is the way for a weak country to survive, even if it is bullied by the other party, they do not want to completely offend each other.
Now, leave everything to the people, and you can get rid of the relationship. Even if the old accounts are turned over in the future, at most a few parties will be found, and they will be arrested and sentenced to a few years, even if it is in the past.
"Yes, that's it, tell our people the truth about last night, the Soviets' conspiracy to overthrow our regime will not succeed!" Reza Khan said.
Skorzny on the side did not continue to speak, but sneered twice, in the final analysis, he is here to be a bodyguard, not a king, just these weak Iranians, what a naïve, the status of a country does not rely on this kind of conspiracy, but on the strength of the dignified!
Skorzny suddenly felt that the great leader had wasted his good intentions by doing this, and that it was better to let the Iranian royal family die and cultivate a new obedient agent for himself.
Well, the prince called Pahlavi looks good, he is extremely hostile to the Soviet Union, and he doesn't understand any political means, he is a stunned young man, such a person is better controlled.
The idea, once it appeared, became clearer and clearer in Skorzny's mind, like a poisonous snake, constantly spitting out letters, signaling his presence, and deepening his impression.
On this day, in the city of Tehran, news kept appearing.
"There were gunshots in the palace last night."
"Yes, I heard that the Soviets came in to cause sabotage, but fortunately, God forbid, His Majesty the King has not been in any danger."
"I heard that those sneak attacks came from the Soviet embassy."
"What, such a thing? Let's go to the embassy of the USSR! ”
The indignant lads, who were constantly getting the news, were the most susceptible to agitation, and when the citizens arrived, the students of the University of Tehran were already outside the embassy.
"Soviets, get out!"
"Invaders, leave our country!"
Angry youth, began to throw stones at the embassy.
"Besieging the embassy, this is a serious crime, we have diplomatic immunity!" One of the Soviet military attachés inside said: "We take out our guns, and if these youths dare to attack us again, we will greet them with our weapons!" ”
Soviet Ambassador Smirnov shook his head: "If we shoot, those angry people outside, will tear us to pieces." ”
What kind of diplomatic immunity, now the two sides are in a state of war, although neither side has declared war, the fact is already so, they choose to stay, they must be mentally prepared to face all this now.
"And we're going to put up with it like this?" The military attache said angrily.
In the past few days, the situation has been deteriorating, especially last night, their well-planned action was miscarried again, and everyone here was unhappy.
At that moment, the overhead fan stopped turning, making it even hotter.
"Our power supply is out."
"We don't have any water either."
One bad news after another, just like this, Smirnov smiled bitterly, if the other party just wanted to besiege his own side like now, it would be light.
"We're going to save water and eat these days." Smirnov said: "Wait, stay up for a few more days, and our people will be able to call." ”
As long as the angry students outside don't rush in, they can still hold on.
"Boom, boom!" At this moment, everyone's faces showed expressions of surprise, what are the people below doing?
"The people outside, found a log, they're banging on our gate!" One of his subordinates reported.
The Iranians, as expected, are not so easy to get along with, they want to rush in!
"Protect our embassy!" The military attache wanted to draw his gun, but Smirnov stopped him harshly: "Lay down your arms and stop doing futile confrontation!" We have to endure so that we can survive until our people come to us. ”
