Chapter 502: The Great Middle East Chaos (Part II)

But what neither country expected was that after a period of silence, the British government finally couldn't hold back its action. www.biquge.info After all, the old Chamberlain was not an ordinary person, and it didn't take long for him to figure out the key point, if the government of the Republic of China didn't care about the attitude of Britain at all, and even prepared for war, then it would definitely go directly to the battle, and it would not be too much to let those immigrants who were actually driven to the Middle East do it. After thinking about this, the elder Chamberlain immediately understood what the Chinese head of state, who was thousands of miles away, "neither side sends troops to directly participate in it, but only allows proxies to fight to decide on the change of sphere of influence to avoid a direct conflict between the two countries?" This is a good idea, China and Britain are both behemoths, once the fight starts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop, maybe it will turn into a situation like the Three Kingdoms War, then the Germans, and the Russians and Americans will be very happy......"

In fact, proxy wars are not a new thing, but China has not supported proxies before (although there are also little brothers like Colombia, but after others bullied them, China directly sent troops to help, which does not meet the definition of proxy war, and Mexico can barely be counted, but in fact, China also sent troops. And no agent can directly put against China, so the old Chamberlain ignored this choice, but now that China has taken the lead, he must not be able to ask for it, whether it is the experience of proxy wars or the foundation in the Middle East, the old Chamberlain thinks that the British Empire is stronger than China, and the facts quickly proved this......

After receiving the support of the British from the sea, Abdul Aziz, who was once in a desperate situation, became active again, he was like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, escaping from the encirclement and suppression of the Turks and the Ma army again and again, and the angry Ma Lin could only take the oasis residents to vent his anger, so that the population of the Najd Plateau once shrank to less than half of the pre-war level, but Abdul Aziz used his position as a religious leader to bring in countless cannon fodder from other neighboring regions, so that the war lasted longer, It's not over for a long time......

For this stalemate situation, the old Chamberlain is still quite satisfied, but Li Hui is not only the card of Ma Jiajun in his hand, in these years, the Chinese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and even the Chinese Army University for further study are not only the children of the Ma family from China's MSL, there are also many pure foreigners from the Middle East, they come to study in the hope of being able to change the miserable situation of the motherland's colonies or semi-colonies after returning to China, and Li Hui uses these chess pieces to stir up the troubled waters of the Middle East. For the greater good of China.

The war on the Najd Plateau was not over, and Iran on the other side of the Persian Gulf had also had a major incident, and Iran had become increasingly British in the past ten years (Tsarist Russia was held back by a rising China, so Iran was basically monopolized by the British). In such a crisis, the decaying Khazar government did not want to work hard, but became more expropriatory. Even though the Russian forces withdrew from Iran and the 1909 revolution did not become an external trigger for the Iranian revolution, the discontent of the Iranian people accumulated to a certain extent and inevitably erupted.

Initially launched by enlightened gentlemen, bourgeois intellectuals, and high-ranking monks, the revolt was more like a dog-eat-dog within the ruling class with the aim of demanding the decentralization of the royal family and a constitutional monarchy in Iran. But it didn't take long for what began as a revolt to force the king to agree to reforms turned into a fierce revolution to overthrow the royal family once and for all, and the main force was replaced by the workers and peasants......

Drawing on the system of China's Momen, the experience of the Soviet revolution and Iran's own national conditions, several young Iranians quickly established organizations called "National Assemblies" throughout the country, and at the same time established their own armed forces.

Iran is also a regional power, but because the decay of the Qajar dynasty has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, the whole country is disappointed in it, and the government army naturally has no morale, as a result, the troops sent by the king to suppress the revolutionaries are about to collapse in front of the rebels, and after defecting to the rebels, they immediately become like wolves and tigers, and the rebel armies from all walks of life are like bamboos, and soon unite to march to the capital Tehran.

Old Chamberlain was shocked when he learned of this, and was about to order the Indian governor to send troops, but suddenly thought of a question, "This is also a proxy war, right?" If we send troops, what will China do? ”

Chamberlain, who was worried that China would also send troops and trigger a direct war between the two countries, could only summon the Chinese ambassador to Britain first, hoping to understand the Chinese government's attitude towards the Iranian revolution. ”

At this time, the elder Chamberlain could only give up the plan to directly send troops to intervene, and instead sent money and arms to support the Qajar royal family indirectly, but before British aid could be sent to Iran, the revolutionary army had already taken Tehran, and King Muhammad Ali fled south in panic with a small number of cronies.

By the time the British met with him, there were only a few hundred troops left around the king, and he had to recruit and train them slowly, which was a long time......

However, after the revolutionary army took Tehran, there was infighting because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and the faction representing the interests of the gentry and monks, the faction representing the interests of the bourgeoisie, the faction representing the interests of the workers, and the faction representing the interests of the peasants quarreled endlessly over their own demands (mixed with the selfishness of some individuals) and finally fought fiercely.

The tactics of the Chinese National Defense Forces, which are considered to be the most advanced in the world today, are multiplied when combined with the revolutionary fervor of the Iranian workers and peasants. But after all, it took a lot of time, the Shah of Iran took the opportunity to step up the recruitment of troops, pulled the team up, and those losers in the infighting also came to vote, it is clear that the chaos in Iran is not so easy to end.

In addition, rebellions have also broken out in Syria, Iraq, and especially the Hejaz region that Turkey has "recovered", and the Middle East has become a mess, and tens of millions of people have died in the war in a few years.
