Evening of November 27, 1943. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chinese delegation flew to Tehran, and also to the center of the whirlpool. The aircraft of the Chinese delegation landed at the Tehran airport under the protection of Soviet and American fighters.

The delegations of China, the United States, Great Britain, France flew from Egypt to Tehran by plane, because they were escorted by Soviet fighters and had a safe journey. The Soviet delegation came to Tehran by train, and the Soviet Union sent many security forces to protect their safety.

This meeting had long since known to the Axis powers that Japan was far away and could only send a few people to assassinate them, while Germany was not far away and sent a few men to assassinate them.

The Iranians sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs to greet the Chinese delegation. As soon as they met, they gave Zhou Gong and Xiaolu a warm hug. This is, of course, because, of course, they have also heard the story of the Chinese delegation returning the Qur'an in Egypt. Xiao Lu originally thought that the sects here were different and would have a bad attitude towards him, and he didn't want them to still be very enthusiastic about him.

Now, when the Pahlavi dynasty was in Iran.

Pahlavi I, named Reza-Pahlavi I, overthrew the Qajar dynasty in 1925 and became king, known as Reza Khan. Khazar moved to France.

Reza Khan was committed to modernizing Iran, developing industry, building cross-border railways, building infrastructure, building schools, reforming the judiciary, improving health care, and sending a large number of young people to study in Europe. In short, his society was highly secularized.

His policies were opposed by conservatives, the clergy group.

At that time, there were two national teams with a great influence on Iran, one was Great Britain and the other was the Soviet Union. Britain controlled Iran's oil through Anglo-Iranian companies, the Soviet Union and Iran as neighbors. The Soviet Union and Great Britain played in Central Asia, one of the venues of Iran.

Especially after World War II, Iran was declared a neutral country. Since the policy of neutrality is adopted, the German company wine in Iran can operate normally. Britain was furious, believing that the German employees in Iran were spies. The USSR also believed that Iran's oil fields and transport corridors were of strategic importance to the USSR. At this time, the interests of Britain and the USSR in Iran were exactly the same.

From August 25 to September 17, 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union jointly intervened in Iran. The Soviets from the north and the handsome from the south attacked in the early hours of the morning. Most of the Iranian troops were captured and surrendered, some tribes rebelled silently, and the north fell. The south also fell in four days, and the barracks, oil fields, and airfields were all occupied by the British. On the 27th, the prime minister was dismissed from office by the king, and the new prime minister ordered that no resistance should be allowed.

On the 30th, Britain and the Soviet Union demanded that Iran stop its resistance and expel the Germans, except for diplomats. On the 31st, the British and Soviet Union demanded that the Germans be handed over to them. On the 9th, Iran fully agreed to the conditions. On the 16th, Britain and the Soviet Union marched to Tehran, and the king abdicated. On the 17th, the resistance was over, and the Germans were generally exiled to Siberia and Australia in general. On the same day, a new king succeeded to the throne.

Anglo-Soviet troops were stationed in Iran, which was effectively under the joint administration of the two countries. The United States, along with the British, built ports and other passages in the Strait of Hormuz, sending more than 30,000 non-combatants. Later, the United States reached out to the Iranian government to help the Iranian government develop, gradually increasing its influence on Iran.

Historically, after the end of World War II, the armies of the two countries began at the end of '45 and did not retreat until the spring of '46.

So, Iran is safe.

However, the connection between Iran and Europe was very complicated, and although the British and Soviet forces had control over Iran, the society was very complicated after all, and a large number of Germans, a large number of Europeans, were still here. It was very easy for Europeans to enter Iran from Turkey.

So Iran is complicated. Secretly, multiple political forces wrestle here, and in the ostensibly calm situation, the dark tide is surging.

The Iranian authorities were very polite to the Chinese delegation, and arranged a villa that was located very close to the royal palace.

It is a large villa, a private residence of a nobleman. A large courtyard is enclosed by a cement wall more than two meters high, although the street is outside, and the courtyard is very quiet.

There are two three-story buildings in the courtyard, both of which are reinforced concrete and steel structures, and it is said that the structure was strengthened to prevent bombing. The glass in all rooms is pasted in a rice shape with strips of paper. There are more than thirty rooms, more than a dozen toilets and bathrooms, two conference rooms, five study rooms, four kitchens, four dining rooms. This time the living conditions were much better than in Egypt.

Li Shun led the guards to quickly inspect every corner and was quite satisfied with the security measures provided by the Iranian side.

After settling down, it only took more than ten minutes to settle down, and the delegation held a plenary meeting, and Zhou Gong said: "Everyone has worked hard. We will use the spirit of continuous combat to fight another beautiful diplomatic battle in Iran. Our task here is diplomacy, to build a good relationship and image with **. ”

Xiaolu said: "We don't have too difficult hard tasks at this meeting, because the meeting mainly discusses the war situation in Europe and the issue of opening up a second battlefield in Europe. Some wanted to attack Germany from the Balkans, others from France. At most, our task was to assist the USSR from the Vladivostok direction, to aid the United States. Because there is a consensus, there will be no controversy. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Therefore, everyone can relax and engage in diplomatic activities in a pleasant atmosphere. Everybody think about it, if you have any ideas, we can do it after we discuss it. ”

Xiao Lu said: "In order not to affect the relaxed atmosphere of the diplomats, the diplomats continued to hold meetings with the vice president. The security staff came to my room for a meeting to arrange security issues. ”

After holding a meeting for Li Shun and the others, Xiaolu came to Zhou Gong's room. Zhou Chengcheng was drafting the telegram.

Xiaolu said: "Vice chairman, still not resting?" ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Now there are only two of us, you can tell me the main points of the Tehran meeting." ”

Xiaolu said: "This meeting mainly discusses the plan to open up a second battlefield. The United States and the Soviet Union wanted to land from France, and Britain wanted to attack the Balkans. In this way, it was possible to occupy Central Europe as soon as possible and seize the colonies. In addition, Britain can invest less and die less. In addition, at this meeting, Stalin confirmed the Cairo Declaration without objection. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "I guess it's the same. Britain is still a colony mentality. They did not do well in Cairo, and they probably had the same mentality in Tehran. ”

Xiaolu said: "Of course, in the end, Churchill still gave in. Roosevelt was bent on achieving results in the conference, and he estimated that there was persuasion for the British. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "The emergence of France is a variable, and we should deduce something. ”

Xiaolu said: "This, we have also discussed, of course France will also want to land from France. In addition, I hope that after the war we will form an alliance with France against the United States. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "In the meeting, our focus was on France, the Soviet Union, and Iran. The security guards are mainly to protect our own people, and only a few people are released to help them with the safety of other countries. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes." I dispatched in the center and only sent Li Shun and three people out. If you don't make a move, you will have results. There is also the issue of post-war arrangements. What if the United States is the only one? What if the United States and the USSR became two great powers? If the United States is the only one, the United States will use great force to suppress us, and we will unite with the Soviet Union. If the United States and the Soviet Union are strong, then we have more leeway, and the situation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be formed. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Influencing the world pattern is not only a task that can be achieved by this conference, but also a lot of things to be done in the future, and there are also many opportunities." ”

"On the issue of the Soviet Union's war against Japan, historically, the Soviet Union said that it would participate in the war against Japan after the end of the war in Europe, and put forward conditions such as the return of the entire Sakhalin Island. They still demand interests in the Northeast. Of course, this problem does not exist now. However, will they return to Asia in the name of fighting against Japan, and Liu Bei will borrow Jingzhou? ”

Zhou Gongdao: "I will think about this problem carefully, and at the same time tell Yan'an about this problem." In addition, we meet Stalin, and there is also a task, which is to withdraw the Soviet forces in various parts of Xinjiang. ”

Xiaolu said: "The Soviet Union has long made concessions on the Xinjiang issue. This time he will agree. ”

November 28, 1943.

The Tehran meeting began.

It was a beautiful Sunday with sunny, sunny and mild weather. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, an hour before the official meeting, Stalin, dressed in the uniform of the Generalissimo of the Soviet Union and wearing the Order of Lenin on his chest, walked from the Soviet residence to the American villa to meet Roosevelt.

Roosevelt, dressed in a blue civilian suit and sitting in a wheelchair, said to Stalin: "It is a pleasure to meet you, I have wanted to meet you for a long time." ”

Stalin also replied with a smile; "I'd love to see you too."

The first meeting of the Tehran Conference was held at the British Embassy of the USSR, with the participation of the Chinese delegation led by Zhou Gong and the French delegation led by Charles de Gaulle.

At 4 p.m., the leaders' meeting officially began.

Roosevelt presided over the first meeting, and he began by saying that for the first time, Russians, British, and Americans, Chinese and French, had come together as members of a family. Our only goal is to win the war. I want to discuss freely and speak freely.

Churchill went on to say: This meeting may symbolize the greatest gathering of the power of the whole world in the history of mankind, and the happiness and destiny of mankind are completely in our hands.

Stalin also said: The friendship between the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, China, and France is very important, and I hope that everyone will make good use of this opportunity.

The delegations took the floor and set the tone for the meeting, and the first meeting was over.

The atmosphere of the meeting was good.

At the first meeting, an agreement was reached to open up a second battlefield. The crowd was unanimous and encouraged.

From the embassy back to the villa, the journey was safe. On the street, there is a post at three steps and a post at five steps, all of which are troops.

Due to the variable of the path, the situation of the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union changed dramatically, not only Moscow and Stalingrad were captured, but even the Caucasus was lost, and in addition to Central Asia, the Soviet Union was left with a large number of cold steppes and forests.

At present, Stalin used Central Asia as a base and had already begun to counterattack, with the cooperation of the partisans in the rear, to attack the German army, although the casualties were huge, but the German army had begun to retreat in the local battlefield.

That is, the turning point of the Soviet battlefield has come. Now, while both the Soviet and Pacific theaters were in a stalemate, all politicians foresaw the defeat of Germany and Japan.
