Chapter 367: The Contradictions of the Soviet Union and Iran
Full support! There are many explanations for this sentence, and now, hearing Ustinov's words, Saddam's eyes have a strange color. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, Saddam Hussein knew that the Soviet Union and Iran also had great contradictions!
The contradictions between the Soviet Union and Iran can be traced back to the time of Tsarist Russia in the nineteenth century. By 1804, Russia's territory had advanced to the South Caucasus, and at the instigation of Napoleon, war broke out between Russia and Persia at that time. The war did not end until 1813, when Persia signed the Peace of Guristan with Russia after successive defeats. Persia recognized Russian sovereignty over the occupied lands, including the northern territories of Georgia and Dagestan. Later, Russia began to encroach on what was then Eastern Armenia, causing strong unrest in Persia, and with the support of the British government, Persia fought a second war with Russia in 1826. After two years of war and the defeat of Persia, Persia was forced to sign the Treaty of Turkmenche with Russia and was forced to cede Armenia and other places.
The powerful Persian Empire in history was not Lao Maozi's opponent, not to mention that the Persian Empire collapsed later, and the successor Iran was even weaker, and the Soviet Union, the successor of Tsarist Russia, naturally coveted Iran, but there was no chance, and this opportunity came in World War II.
That crazy mustache launched a military operation codenamed "Barbarossa" to launch an all-out attack on the Soviet Union on a front of thousands of miles. The mustache smiled, Stalin's mistakes in strategic judgment and the great internal friction caused by the "Great Purge" to the Soviet Red Army made the Soviet Red Army overwhelmed and collapsed in the early stage of the war.
However, this move of the mustache also made the West, which regarded the Soviet Union as a beast, find friends, and British Prime Minister Churchill, who suffered from the German air raids, was overjoyed and immediately made a speech in Parliament, Britain and the Soviet Union were already on the same front, and Britain would launch large-scale assistance to the Soviets who were suffering from German aggression.
However, after the Black Sea was blockaded by the Turkish government at that time, the only way to give blood to the Soviet Union was through Iran, and the trans-Iranian railway, which connected the northwestern tip of the Persian Gulf to the Caucasus and the Black Sea, was the safest way to transport materials to the Soviet Union! As a result, Britain and the Soviet Union hit it off, and in order to prevent the then Shah of Iran from falling into the arms of the Axis powers, the Soviet Union in the Caucasus and Central Asia would be directly exposed to the enemy. These reasons directly led to the direct occupation of Iran by the British and Soviet governments at that time.
On August 25, 41, the Soviet Union and Great Britain advanced rapidly in Iran, one north and one south, and soon occupied all of Iran. The Soviet Union occupied northern Iran, and the British occupied central and southern Iran. At the same time, King Reza-Khan, who was friendly to Germany, was forced to abdicate the throne, and Crown Prince Pahlavi immediately ascended the throne.
It is conceivable that although Pahlavi came to power at that time, he must have been extremely disgusted with Britain and the Soviet Union, so Pahlavi was secretly advancing his plan to contact the United States! Pahlavi was so good with the United States that he wore a pair of pants, and later, sure enough, the United States helped them achieve independence.
The war is finally over, and according to the promises made at that time, the USSR should withdraw its troops from Iran, however, the USSR at that time had already changed its attitude, how could it spit out the meat of the mouth!
On November 15, 45, the Democratic Party of Azerbaijan and the Iranian People's Party in the Soviet-occupied zone of northern Iran launched an uprising against the central government, and officially announced the establishment of the Azerbaijani Autonomous Government on December 12 of the same year. Three days later, Iran's Kurdistan Democratic Party, also with the support of the Soviet Union, announced the creation of the Republic of Mahabad in Kurdistan. For a time, there were demands for national autonomy everywhere in northern Iran, and Iran was facing a crisis of secession.
However, the Soviet Union did not have the last laugh, and with the support of the United States, the Iranian government filed a complaint with the United Nations against the Soviet government for violating the resolution to withdraw its troops from Iran. This put the Soviet Union in an extremely embarrassing and embarrassing situation in the international community, under the pressure of all parties, in fact, it was mainly the pressure of the United States' nuclear bombs, without which the waist pole could not be stiffened! As a result, the Soviet government could only clamp its tail and obediently withdraw its troops from Iran.
Having lost the support of Soviet troops, Pahlavi gained momentum, and in December of that year, Iranian troops entered Tabriz and eliminated the Azerbaijani national self-government. At the end of December, Iranian troops attacked Kurdistan, Kurdish fighters retreated into Soviet territory, and the Republic of Mahabad was eliminated.
Although the crisis has passed, the Iranian government deeply remembers the scars cut by the Soviet Union, and Iran has completely fallen to the United States, which in turn has armed Iran with all kinds of advanced weapons.
Now that the Pahlavi government has fallen, and their spiritual leader is about to rule Iran and implement the YSL doctrine to rule Iran, what will be the attitude of the Soviet Union? For Saddam, the attitude of the Soviet Union is also quite important, which is directly related to his next move! If the Soviet Union strongly supported the new Iranian government, then Iraq would have nothing to do.
However, Saddam Hussein knew that the spiritual leader, whose eyes were higher than the sky, also had hatred for the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union took the initiative to curry favor with him, so he could only touch his nose. Therefore, Saddam Hussein came this time, and at the same time wanted to test the attitude of the Soviet Union towards Iran, and if he wanted to curry favor with Iran, then he would add fuel and vinegar to say something bad about Iran and destroy their relations!
But now, the Minister of Defense of the Soviets, has made it very clear that the USSR wants to fully support Iraq! Iraq wants to play a greater role in the Middle East!
"What if we were to fight a country that was trying to disrupt us by exporting revolutions?" Saddam Hussein continued to ask: At this time, it is not possible to make it particularly clear, after all, Iraq is not yet ready for war, but it is also necessary to express its own meaning.
"We, the Soviet Union, will give it our full support." "It's not just about the support of weapons, if necessary, we can even send our troops south and stab the enemy in the back," Ustinov said. ”
Send your troops south and stick a knife in the enemy's back! Hearing Saddam Hussein's heart was even more excited, this means that when necessary, the Soviet army will also send troops to invade Iran! Under the attack of both sides, Iran is not dead?
With the promise of the Soviet Union, we can do it with confidence and boldness! Saddam Hussein felt that what was unfolding in front of him would be a big territory, first destroying Iran, and then killing pro-American Saudi Arabia and Kuwait! Restore the glory of the historical Babylonian Empire! (To be continued.) )
