Iran, formerly known as Persia, is located in the Middle East, bordering the Caspian Sea in the north-central part and the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea in the south. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last century, with the invasion of European powers, Iran gradually became a semi-colonial country, with social and economic decline, arbitrary and brutal feudal rule, and many popular uprisings. In February 1921, the military officer Reza Khan Pahlavi staged a coup d'état, seized power and established the Pahlavi dynasty.

As the first country to discover oil on the coast of the Persian Gulf, after the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty, oil exploitation was nationalized, and Iran began to develop rapidly.

Especially after entering the 70s, the first oil crisis broke out, oil prices soared, and a number of oil-producing countries along the Persian Gulf coast quickly became rich. Within a few years, Iran's GDP had multiplied. For example, in '73, the Iranian government's oil revenue was $2.8 billion, and in '75, that figure was $17.8 billion.

Iran, with an annual oil production of about 200 million tons, ranks first in the Middle East and fourth in the world, and has become a rich country in the world.

Unfortunately, as a bold and insightful monarch, Pahlavi wanted to establish a former Persian Empire, and so the White Revolution began in Iran. By the end of this century, he has built Iran into an industrial country on an equal footing with the industrially developed countries and become the "fifth great power" in the world.

It is a pity that he did not go to the lower classes, and in the process of industrialization, the lifeblood of the country was completely destroyed, and a large number of landless peasants had to go into the cities, they were ragged, they had nothing. At the same time, the 2,000 wealthy families headed by the king and the royal family amassed wealth, took advantage of it, embezzled and corrupted, and spent money like dirt, and the vast number of peasants and urban poor hardly benefited from the surging oil wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor grew in tandem with the wealth of society.

The whole of Iran is already sitting on the crater of a volcano, and the anger of the people will erupt at any time!

At the same time, Iran is completely Westernized, with women dressed naked, walking around the streets at will, and even more xing workers. This is a deep hatred for many people who are strong in their faith.

Just last year, when Pahlavi visited the United States, a large number of Iranian students in the United States staged an anti-Shah demonstration near the White House lawn, which was so large that the American police had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd.

And this year, protests and demonstrations in the Iranian religious holy city of Qom were cracked down by the Pahlavi government, resulting in a bloody tragedy in which about 70 people were killed and 400 injured. This Qom bloodshed ignited the flames of the Iranian revolution!

At the same time, the leaders of Iran's zongjiao also began to step onto the political stage of Iran, calling on the people to rise up, oppose the monarch, and advocate the implementation of the YSL government!

Actually, Pahlavi was right in his thinking, but on the road to industrialization, he made a mistake and ignored the interests of the masses of the people. In later generations, Iran can fight with Iraq for eight years while scolding the United States and the Soviet Union and offending both sides, and it can mix well under the blockade of the West, and from time to time it will disgust the United States, all thanks to the industrialization that Pahlavi has created. The United States in later generations can fight Iraq, Syria, Libya, but it can't fight Iran, because Iran is an industrial country! Iran's war potential far exceeds that of Iraq, which claims to be the fourth most powerful country in the world!

"Just today, in Tehran, the capital of Iran, there were mass demonstrations with millions of participants, who demanded an end to the monarchy, the acceptance of HMN as the supreme leader, the establishment of a YSL government, the restoration of agriculture, the protection of religion, the return of exiles, etc." "Pahlavi is completely out of control of the situation in Iran, and it is likely that there will be a regime change in Iran in the near future," the White House chief of staff said. ”

Bad news one after another! Carter listened to the reports, his brow furrowed into numerous wrinkles.

The developed industrial countries of the West are all built on the basis of cheap oil, and oil is the black blood of industry! And as the number one oil-producing country in the Middle East, the United States absolutely does not want this country to get out of its control!

"Last year, Sullivan made an analysis that Pahlavi's ability was not enough to maintain the political situation in Iran, and hoped that we would prepare early." Secretary of State Warren said, "But at the time, our eyes were on Hokkaido and we didn't pay much attention. ”

At that time, no one paid attention, after all, the situation in the Far East was the most important, and now, seeing that Pahlavi was about to end, the United States was in a hurry, it was too late.

"Warren, what do you think we should do?" Carter asked.

"Since Pahlavi can't control Iran, then we just choose another proxy, if HMN can really control the situation in Iran, we might as well cooperate with him, we don't interfere in their domestic affairs, we just ask them to produce oil normally." Warren said: "In this way, it can be exchanged for continued peace in the bay." ”

The United States is supporting puppet regimes in other countries, and if this regime does not give strength, then support another one! In Africa and Latin America, this is a tried and tested approach by the United States.

"No, absolutely not!" Hearing Warren say this, Secretary of Defense Harold said: "Those guys, they're crazy, they can't think with our regular brains, really, those guys who believe in it, they are extremely disgusted with our American freedom and democracy, and they hate our culture, and we can't cooperate with them at all." ”

Working with those guys? This is not a good thing, they are not the same as Pahlavi, they are different from the Saudi Arabian and Kuwaiti royal families!

"And what do you think we should do?" Warren asked rhetorically.

"We sent troops to help Pahlavi maintain stability in the country!" Harold said: "Our troops, only if they are stationed directly in Iran, can better maintain our oil security!" “

It's a garrison again! Hearing Harold's words, Warren couldn't help but shake his head: "No, our troops stationed in the island country have already faced such a big problem, the Soviet Union will not give up this opportunity, and will definitely oppose us on the Iranian issue, such as supporting HMN to confront us, we really want to station troops in the Gulf, it is impossible." ”

After discussing for a long time, there was no conclusion! Carter felt like it was a terrible day! As he sat down, he heard the phone ringing beside him.

"Mr. President, our embassy of the island nation has been occupied by a group of students who claim to be patriotic, and 213 people, including Ambassador Green, have become hostages." The voice on the other side of the phone, with a hint of panic, was the voice of Lieutenant General Paul, commander of U.S. forces in Japan. (To be continued.) )
