"Your Majesty, this is a report sent back by the representative of the Reich in the Kingdom of Iran. The king of Iran, Ahmad Shah, was forced by the British to have no choice but to ask us for help. Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said.

"The Shah of Iran is now just a puppet, and I thought he had resigned himself to his fate. But now it seems that he doesn't want to accept his fate! Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

The Kingdom of Iran is geographically important and rich in natural resources, while at the same time guarding the Strait of Hormuz. The empire has now begun to extract oil from the Kuwaiti colonies and the Iraqi colonies. A large number of oil tankers departed from Kuwait to bring shiploads of crude oil back home from the Middle East. This allowed the empire's growing oil needs to be satisfied. If the British cut off the Empire's energy transportation routes through the Kingdom of Iran, it would be a heavy blow to the Empire.

In addition, the Kingdom of Iran is in close proximity to India. If the empire were to invade India, starting with Iran would be a good springboard. Of course, in order to protect the Indian colonies, the British would not give up Iran easily.

The Imperial* military had also suggested that a suitable opportunity be sought to wrest the Kingdom of Iran from the British. In this way, it will be of great benefit and help to the empire's future Middle East strategy and South Asia strategy. It's just that the empire has not found a favorable opportunity to intervene in the kingdom of Iran. Last time, the empire forcibly borrowed from northern Iran. If the British and Iranians strongly oppose and even take the initiative to attack the Empire* army, perhaps the Empire will take this opportunity to capture the Kingdom of Iran in one fell swoop. But alas, both the British and the Iranians, after the last moment, they chose to retreat. Therefore, the plans of the empire were not able to succeed either.

If the empire wants to meddle in Iran. Ahmad Shah, the current kingdom of Iran, is undoubtedly a good candidate. Although he is a puppet, he is the king of Iran after all. At the same time, it also has a great influence in Iran. If only he could invite the Imperial* army into the Kingdom of Iran. Then, all the problems seem to be solved. It's just that Ahmad Shah has not performed before. Therefore, the empire was also unable to carry out the plan. But now, the Shah of Iran has taken the initiative to contact the Empire. This is undoubtedly giving the empire a chance.

"Your Majesty, our representatives made very harsh conditions to Ahmad Shah, but Ahmad Shah agreed to our conditions. It can be seen that he was really driven to a dead end. There was no choice but to agree to our terms. Tang Shaoyi said. If the Shah of Iran had accepted these conditions in their entirety, Iran would have become a state under the control of the Empire.

"If we intervene in Iran now, we will inevitably have a fierce collision with what we should have. There is even the possibility of a military conflict. Is the Empire* army ready? Wu Haoxuan asked. After all, the Reich was secretly preparing for war against Japan. If a conflict breaks out with Britain at this time, it will inevitably affect the Empire's preparations for war against Japan.

"Your Majesty, the British don't have much army in the Middle East. They were in the Kingdom of Iran and did not even have troops stationed. Even in India, there was only a small British army, and most of it was an Anglo-Indian army composed of Indians trained by the British. This is for the Empire. There wasn't much of a threat in the first place. The Reich's 9th Army deployed in the Middle East, and the Reich's 13th Army in the Caucasus. It only takes a small number of troops to control the entire kingdom of Iran. If the British intended to retake Iran, the strength of the two armies of the Imperial Army would be enough to thwart them. Marshal Shi Tianhan, Chief of the General Staff, said.

At present, the plan and preparations for the war against Japan have been entrusted to General Jiang Baili to complete. Other than that. Marshal Shi Deshan, the commander of the war against Japan, finally came in handy. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for him to make a name for himself in the world. Marshal Shi Deshan, of course, will not let go of this opportunity. Now almost all the energy is devoted to preparing for the war against Japan.

"What about the Navy? If the British cut off our energy transport routes, the Navy would need to recapture them. Wu Haoxuan continued to ask. It involves confrontation with a power like the United Kingdom. He had to pay attention.

"Your Majesty, now the Japanese Navy is shrinking into the waters off the coast of Japan, and it does not dare to provoke the Imperial Navy. The Japanese also knew that they did not have the strength to confront the empire until the 'Yamato-class' battlecruisers and the 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers entered service. So, they are very honest and very low-key. If the British Navy really dared to break out into a fierce confrontation and conflict with the Empire at this time, the main force of the Pacific Fleet could directly go south to support the Imperial Navy's Nanyang Army. Admiral Sa Zhenbing said.

"Well, in that case, let's do it. Snatching the Kingdom of Iran from the British further strengthened the Empire's power in the Middle East. It also facilitated the formation of an encirclement of the British Indian colony. Wu Haoxuan made a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers all replied. After Emperor Wu Haoxuan made a decision, these courtiers only needed to complete it. In the end, just send the results to Wu Haoxuan's hands.

The Empire had already made the decision to intervene in Iran and wrest it from the British. And Ahmad Shah, the king of the Kingdom of Iran, far away in Tehran, also made a choice.

The next day, Ahmad Shah summoned Tian Jun, the Chinese representative in Tehran, and formally agreed to Tian Jun's previous conditions. The two sides even signed a secret treaty. As long as China helps Ahmad Shah regain power in the Kingdom of Iran, then Ahmad Shah will fulfill his promise to turn the Kingdom of Iran into a protectorate of the Chinese Empire.

After the signing of the secret treaty, Tian Jun assured Ahmad Shah that the empire would soon take action. At a suitable time, Ahmad Shah issued an invitation to the Imperial* army to enter the Kingdom of Iran. Chinese* troops would then enter the Kingdom of Iran from the west and north, helping Ahmad Shah regain control of the country in one fell swoop.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. However, accidents inevitably happened. After all, the Kingdom of Iran has long been controlled by the British, who have been deeply involved here for so many years, and their infiltration and control of this country is beyond the knowledge of others. Even King Ahmad Shah could not guarantee complete secrecy.

In fact, at the time of the conspiracy between the Chinese representatives Tian Jun and Ahmad Shah, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Iran, Sai Giyaddin, and the British Minister to the Kingdom of Iran, Minister Girat had already received relevant tips. Under the control of the British, even the Iranian royal palace did not have a place of secrecy.

When the news reached Sai Gyadin's hands, the high-ranking prime minister jumped at once.

"Damn, how can this be? Damn Ahmad Shah, he actually dared to collude with the Chinese. What can I do? "Sai Giadin scurried around like a headless fly. In his eyes, Ahmad Shah was not a concern at all. But the Chinese are different. The Chinese are too strong, last time even the British were deflated! If he wants to challenge the Chinese, he will undoubtedly be crushed to pieces.

"Someone, get a car, go to the British Legation immediately." Sai Giadin commanded.

"Yes, sir." The waiter immediately went to prepare the carriage. Five minutes later, Sai Giardin got into the carriage and headed straight for the British Legation. His background is British, and now that the Chinese are about to intervene in Iran, he can only ask the British for help.

"Your Excellency, something is wrong. Ahmad Shah, the damned guy, actually colluded with the Chinese to regain control of the kingdom. What do we do now? Sai Giadin looked at Minister Girat with blank eyes, waiting for his answer.

In fact, Minister Girat was also hesitant. If China really wants to intervene in Iran, it will have a great impact on Britain's Middle East policy and South Asia policy. The British attached great importance to the colony of India. In order to ensure the security of India, they put the kingdom of Afghanistan and then the kingdom of Iran under their control, acting as a barrier to the northwestern part of India. In the east, through three wars against Burma, Burma was completely destroyed, making Burma a province of India, defending the east of India. In the north of India, the Himalayan moats are safe. And in the vast sea to the south, when the British Empire was still the hegemon of the sea, which country would dare to attack India by sea?

It is precisely for this reason that a security protection system for India has been constructed. Now, if the Chinese want to intervene in Iran, they undoubtedly want to shake the British strategy in this region!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, you go back first, control the army, everything is ready. I contacted the country, and after getting the order from the country, we immediately took action. Minister Girat said.

"Ministers, do you mean that we will carry out a coup d'état immediately?" Sai Giadin asked. A hint of joy flashed across his face. If Ahmad Shah is removed from the position of king, then, judging by seniority, no one can compare with him. When the time comes, he will be the best candidate to succeed him as king.

"Ahmad Shah is disobedient. Then there is no need for him to be the king of the Kingdom of Iran anymore. We need to remove him from the king's position. Minister Girat said viciously. (To be continued.) )
