Chapter 930: Wind and Smoke
Egypt, which has not turned its back on Nasser's ideas, is still the leader of the Arab world, but if Serov says that the changes in Egypt after Nasser's death can be seen as Egypt's version of revisionism. As a result www.biquge.info Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was eventually taken away by Saudi Arabia. As long as Saudi Arabia does not die, Egypt will basically not be able to take it back.
They are all pro-American countries, and Saudi Arabia has more wealth than Egypt, so who will choose Egypt as the leader in this case? Why? How many people are you? Ninety-seven percent of Egypt's own land is desert, and losing the leadership of the Arab world is very fatal, and Egypt without leadership is a poor country with an explosive population and barren land, which cannot be saved by a Suez Canal.
But for Mubarak, the mediation has excluded Saudi power from coming in, and it is still not all smooth sailing. In Egypt this month, under the blue sky and white clouds, the sphinx lies quietly prone, admiring the world. The Great Pyramid, where people on camels walk safely. Look up to the miracles of a thousand years ago.
Cairo is a city steeped in history, with its ancient pyramids, the ever-flowing Nile, the towering Cairo Towers, sacred mosques, all-encompassing museums and elegant opera houses. All this casts a veil of classicism and history over Cairo. During this season, Egypt welcomes countless tourists, from European and American tourists who act alone, to tourists from the state-organized socialist camp.
Compared with local tyrants like Saudi Arabia, Egypt is naturally not rich, but Egypt, whose political stance is inclined to the Soviet Union, does not hate the stinky money of the bourgeoisie, and Egypt also exports labor to European and American countries. Security depends on the Soviet Union, and the economy depends on Europe and the United States, and there are many countries with this definition, and Egypt is just one of them.
Under this scenery, representatives from Syria, Iraq, and Iran, as well as from both North and South Yemen, were warmly welcomed by Mubarak, and Cairo, the capital of Egypt, also knew that the state was mediating the conflict between North and South Yemen.
Not to mention that not all countries are composed of Arabs, and Iran, which also participates in mediation, clearly has very harmonious relations with North Yemen. The influence of Shiites still has a lot of radiation in Iran.
Iraq, as the first socialist country in the Middle East, with a majority Shiite population, and very good relations with Iran, and Syria is also a military ally that the Soviet Union values very much, and each country is not easy to deal with.
By definition, the mediation brought together all the military powers in the Middle East, including Egypt. Which country does not have a population of tens of millions, which country does not have hundreds of thousands of troops, which country does not have thousands of tanks? Which was not a country that the USSR valued for its development potential?
It cannot be said that the Soviet Union has never been optimistic about the potential of Egypt, but the Suez Canal is too important.
Syria, Iraq, and Iran have different positions, and the outcome of the mediation is far from being as optimistic as the ordinary people on the streets of Cairo predicted, and there is no shortage of exchange of interests and games. There will not be a situation where Egypt will wave its hand and other countries will nod their heads, which will only happen when Egypt declares war on Israel.
Mubarak was also prepared for the coming difficulties, and of course Egypt still gave ample courtesy to all countries in terms of propaganda to show the unity of Arab countries. It's just that Iran is not very convinced......
Iran is a Persian majority, with a certain sympathy for North Yemen, given historical traditions. But North Yemen is pro-American, Iran is pro-Soviet, and Iraq and Iran have good relations, and in short, Mubarak's responsibility is by no means as simple as it seems, very messy, very messy......
"Egypt accepted Egypt's initiative and initiated this mediation, and of course the fundamental reason for Egypt's agreement is that it cannot watch the civil war between Yemeni brothers, which is Egypt's responsibility as an Arab." Mubarak first took out the banner of the Soviet Union, and not all of these countries bought Egypt's account. But it is true that they are all pro-Soviet countries.
Iran and Iraq also used the Soviet system and were considered parliamentarians of the socialist camp in the broad sense of the word, and Syria was an important military ally of the Soviet Union, as was Egypt itself. This is the common denominator of all participating countries, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is a prerequisite for any negotiation, and Mubarak is well aware of this.
Iran also agrees to peace between North and South Yemen, but the peace formula should be fairer. It is believed that this is also the wish of Egypt! "We all know that the current situation in Yemen has a lot to do with British imperialism. Not only Yemen, but also the loss of Bahrain has also caused Iran huge losses. The same is true of Iraq, and I believe that President Mubarak also understands this sentiment, as Egypt was also invaded by Britain and France 30 years ago. ”
Mubarak nodded, as the strongest country in the world at that time, Britain naturally would not let go of North Africa and the Middle East, which had an important position, many countries here were victims, and today's situation was caused by Britain.
"Of course, this is our purpose, and Egypt will fully respect Iran's opinion, and of course the Iranian side has just said that the most important thing is fairness." Mubarak bites the word fairness very hard.
The relationship between Egypt and Iran is complicated, because of political reasons, because of geographical reasons, the relationship between the two is not destined to be very good, but if it is said that it is irreconcilable mortal enemies, it is not enough. Both countries are allies of the Soviet Union, and the definitions of the two countries are different, Egypt is to be the leader of the Arab world, and Iran is a country of Persians, which does not pose an essential threat to Egypt.
Egypt is more focused on a potential challenger, Saudi Arabia, than Iran. If this mediation can be successful, it will give Egypt a lot of prestige, which will also be a deterrent to Saudi Arabia, which is becoming more and more powerful in monetary hegemony.
"Fairness is mutual, and we don't think there should be too much tendentious stance." The statement of the representative of Iraq was somewhat biased in favor of Iran, who made the Shiites of the two countries not small, and some kind of compromise had to be made. A generation still cannot dissolve a religion that has existed for thousands of years.
The two countries mean not to make humiliating accusations against North Yemen and to save face for both sides of the conflict. This is certainly not an overly high suggestion, but Mubarak still won't say yes easily, and that's part of the game.
Egypt's position in the Middle East and the world is prominent, and its diplomacy is multifaceted. Mubarak is well aware that Egypt can only show its position in the world if it gives full play to its role as a great power in the Middle East and its unique influence on the hotspot issues in the Middle East. Not only to make the Soviet Union understand the unique role of Egypt, but also to make the United States see this.
"Historical celebrities do have some skills!" Serov could see that Egypt was deliberately delaying and defusing the positions of Iran and Iraq, not how much Egypt liked atheistic Yemen. It was the religious question that forced Egypt to make a choice, and that was that the general secretary could not understand the minds of the believers, who hated heresy more than atheists.
When Mubarak took over Egypt, he faced a grim and difficult domestic situation. The economy is sluggish, inflation is serious, debts are high, corruption is rampant, corruption is rampant, social security is deteriorating, violence continues, and now Egypt seems to have regained some momentum, and this historical celebrity still has some revenge.
Serov can only wait, he also has something to do, three times to provoke the United States, and now there are consequences. After all, Reagan is only talking about it, and it is not only North and South Yemen that have accidents, but only the first place where things have happened.
There is a separatist force on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, this ethnic group believes in Christianity, and constantly attacks the government forces of Myanmar and Thailand in the local area, tracing the source, Serov soon knew that this is a minority force absorbed in the British colonial process, but now Britain is taking care of itself, and Margaret Thatcher is still tearing up the British National Federation of Trade Unions, so she should not have this ability. Only Reagan is capable!
The Malaysian military crossed the border to attack Thailand because southern Thailand is the base of the Communist Party of Malaysia, and because the Communist Party of Malaysia provided assistance to the Communist Party of Thailand during the changes in Thailand, the Thai Government has always turned a blind eye to the activities of the Communist Party of Malaysia in southern Thailand.
The Philippine government army, under the command of US advisers, cleared the areas where the New People's Army of the Philippines was entrenched, just a week after the communist uprising in Honduras, Central America, and since the seventies entered a phase of stalemate, this was the first time that the Philippine government army had sent so many troops to strike at the New People's Army.
In the Horn of East Africa, the situation in Ethiopia is not calm, and the wave of separatism in Eritrea is rising, which is also the most incomprehensible to Serov, Ethiopia has a population fifteen times that of Eritrea, but it has not been able to solve the local separatist forces, Serov doubts that the Soviet Union is very unlucky to support a peanut-like leader.
Almost everywhere the results of the Soviet global offensive were unstable, the tide of anti-Soviet forces increased dramatically. These areas are relatively obvious areas, and Sudan and Mozambique are not particularly stable, but they can remain generally stable.
For Zvigon to contact countries with unstable tendencies, some commissioners have to go to these countries, and the real information needs to be verified by two sides, and it is not enough to rely on local intelligence personnel alone.
