The Abu Dhabi Citadel on the shores of the Persian Gulf was filled with a cheerful atmosphere with high-ranking military and political officials from China, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Doha and West Oman (present-day the United Arab Emirates).

Taking advantage of the diplomatic pressure of the Soviet invasion of Iran and a large number of bomber orders, Yang Qiu exchanged control of Bahrain, Doha, and West Oman (present-day United Arab Emirates) from the British, and the Ministry of Defense immediately sent troops to these areas. The Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were also quick to sign loans with the sheikhs in these places and lease naval and air bases for 99 years, laying a solid foundation for China's long-term military presence in the Persian Gulf.

In front of the building in the center of the base, the Presidential Guard, which is heavily armed, has a vigilant gaze, and more than a dozen Siberian Tiger tanks and armored vehicles are scattered around. On the tarmac in the distance, eight lightning planes protect two identical planes and prepare for departure, all of which tells others how important the distinguished guests are today.

"President, this is the Southwest War Report sent by Minister Song." Bai Chongxi stood beside him with a piece of his arms. After Jiang Baili went to England, he played the role of a military aide to the president. Yang Qiu, who was looking in the mirror to choose party clothes, waved his hand: "I won't look at it, just read it." ”

"Yes. The Navy reported that it had occupied 10 key islands in Annam, including Kunlun Island, Phu Quoc Island, and Jinou Kok, and released a large number of political prisoners on Kunlun Island who had been exiled by the French colonial army, and that the island's field airfield would be available for use within a week at the latest. The assault team also arrived in Siem Reap at 2 p.m. to rendezvous with the local French forces, took control of the airfield, and engaged in the first exchange of fire with the Japanese 55th Wing. As of now, the exchange of fire continues. According to French intelligence, the Japanese attacking Siem Reap had been increased to a division, supported by a tank brigade and an artillery wing. At present, the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Airborne Division is speeding to the Siem Reap airfield, and the 2nd Marine Division has already landed in Kampong Xun. The 4th Division has also completed the landing in Da Nang, and the troops are expanding in depth. Commander Bing said that the French navy in Cam Ranh Bay refused to withdraw and that he had given up landing here considering the threat of the fortified shore artillery. According to accurate information, the French army also began to strengthen the defense of Hue, presumably to prevent us from approaching the puppet government of Annam and Emperor Bao. ”

Bai Chongxi touched his fingers and turned to the next page: "Commander Ouyang of the 17th Army reports that the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division has carried out an airborne landing in Ban Papong, east of Vientiane. During the airborne landing 11 people were missing and 27 were injured. At present, the troops are moving closer to Vientiane, and they are blocked by some Siamese troops along the way, but they do not encounter the Japanese army. The 69th and 70th Divisions had already crossed the Red River from the direction of Lao Cai, and the 224th Division took over the port of Haiphong at three o'clock in the afternoon. The 17th Panzer Division arrived in Bac Ninh, temporarily staying in place due to the refusal of the French to open the Hanoi Bridge. The 71st and 72nd Divisions are expected to cross the river from Yuechi tonight. Commander Ouyang said that on the whole, the troops were advancing smoothly and had not encountered resistance for the time being. However, due to the reluctance of the French governor and the French army to open the railway bridge and military installations, the advance of the troops was slow, and he asked the General Staff to use force to expel him, and asked the naval gunboat formation to immediately rush to Vientiane to support the airborne regiment. ”

"Isn't there a Japanese army in Vientiane?"

"It didn't say anything on telegram. It is only said that the attack on the north of Laos (Laos) was the Siamese Army, with about 100,000 people. However, traces of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army have been found in the southwest of the Mekong River in Champas. The French troops there were heavily shelled and suffered very heavy casualties. Commander Qiu Bin has asked the 4th Marine Division to speed up and rush to support in the starry night. Bai Chongxi continued: "There is one more thing. Colonel Stilwell of the United States was very dissatisfied with our blockade of Central Asia, so he offered to send people to observe military operations in the southeastern peninsula. ”

After Yang Qiu chose a coffee-colored shirt, he turned around and said, "Call back Premier and Minister Song, so that Stilwell and the U.S. military can observe." ”

"And what about France? The German-French negotiations dragged on badly. It will take at least a week to get results. Let that old guy in Deju just bite the railroad and military facilities and not let go, and let the warships block the mouth of the Mekong River. If you can't get these things. I'm afraid there will be logistical problems. ”

"We don't have to worry about these things in a hurry, someone will stand up and help us complete it soon." Yang Qiu knew the military's intentions, so they would not consider international relations, and they would like to occupy all of Asia in three or two clicks. So without hurrying, Xu Bian buttoned the button, and asked, "What about Xu Shuzheng?" ”

"After encircling Lukin's main forces in the Petropavlovsk triangle, Commander Xu has already ordered a general attack on Tashkent in the early morning of the day after tomorrow! On the Moscow side, Stalin was so annoyed by the defeat that he removed Zhukov from his post, transferred him to Orenburg as commander of the garrison in charge of the reserves, appointed Timoshenko as commander of the Siberian Front, and Rokossovsky as commander of the Ural Front. Lukin was not removed from his post because he broke through at the last moment and captured Petropavlovsk, and continued to serve as commander of the Kazakh Front. ”

"Hehe, Zhukov is fateful." Yang Qiu didn't expect Zhukov to not finish to the end, smiled and turned around to sign the approved approval on the document, and asked, "Is Mossadegh here?" ”

"I'm waiting for you in the small living room."

"Let's go meet him." Yang Qiu put down his pen and walked quickly to the small living room downstairs.

In the living room, Mossadegh, who had changed into a suit, looked uneasy and kept whispering to his assistant. In the past six months, his heart has been as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake. He regretted that he did not see the situation clearly, and he did not expect China to act so firmly, although Reza Khan was quickly abolished and Pahlavi came to power, but the battle of Ahvaz undoubtedly told the entire Persian Gulf region that this was no longer just a place where Britain, France and the Soviet Union had the final say. In particular, the astonishing 1.17 million encirclement of the East Kazakh Campaign shocked him even more.

With the Wehrmacht gaining ground in Central Asia and the almost total occupation of Turkmenistan in the north, everyone knew that the defeat of the Soviet Persian Front was only a matter of time. The biggest backer is crumbling, on the contrary, Pahlavi has assumed the posture of a liberator because of China's strong support at any cost, and the imam has become the main culprit in the hearts of Iranians who lured the wolf into the house and brought the country into the war! Even Britain, France and the United States consider themselves and the imams to be the destroyers of regional peace! So after thinking about it for a while, he decided to throw an olive branch to Beijing. But he didn't expect that Yang Qiu said that he would agree to meet on the surface, but it made him wait for half a month in anxiety, anxiety and nervousness.

He understood the implications, so he paid more attention to tonight's meeting. Because he knows that he has not much choice.

"Your Excellency Mossadegh. I've kept you waiting. ”

A brisk footstep interrupted his thoughts, and when he looked up, he found that the man who had worried and nervous him for half a month had appeared at the door, and walked quickly and smiled and stretched out his hand. "It's okay, it's okay. It is an honor for me personally, Mr. President, to meet me in the midst of my busy schedule, and it is also an honor for the entire Iranian imams. Mossadegh immediately stretched out his hand and swept his gaze twice over Yang Qiu's face. But I don't see any thoughts.

"You may be seated. Jade, let Madame make the Longjing tea I brought, Mr. Mossadegh is my most honored guest. Yang Qiu didn't seem to hear the meaning of kidnapping the entire Iranian imams in the words, and after beckoning everyone to sit down, he looked at the future generations who were known as the pioneers of Iranian oil nationalization. Mossadegh, the father of the revolution, asked knowingly: "Sir, I heard that you have something important to see me, but I don't know what it is?" ”

Knowing the problem from the interpreter, Mossadegh frowned. He didn't expect Yang Qiu to be so slippery. actually threw the topic back directly, which was obviously to make himself soft and take the initiative to say it. But like the retreating Soviet army, the only bargaining chip he has now is probably the Imamites scattered throughout Iran. So he took a deep breath and said directly in English: "Your Excellency, first of all, I am very happy that you are willing to see me at such a moment. The purpose of my visit is very simple. I hope that you can mediate the contradictions between us and the Pahlavi Shahover, so that peace can return to Iran as soon as possible. ”

Hearing the word "king", Yang Qiu smiled in his heart, but his face was very solemn: "Mr. Mossadegh." I'd love to help you, but both I and my Government have made commitments. There will be no interference in the internal affairs of countries. Again, my army is not a colonial army, and our current military operations are only against the USSR and those who helped them! So with all due respect, while I personally appreciate your efforts to achieve the status of a fully independent state for Iran, and am willing to help Iran actually achieve those statuses, just like the current Saudi government. But how do you solve the Soviet occupation forces? Without expelling them, it will be difficult for you and the Pahlavi Shah to gain mutual trust. ”

Mossadegh's face changed, this was his most difficult problem now! If the Soviet army does not leave, the shame of "luring the wolf into the house" on him will never be washed away! Thinking of this, a dense layer of sweat immediately oozed from his back, and when he saw the smile on the corner of Yang Qiu's mouth, he knew that he had to admit defeat completely, so he simply gritted his teeth: "Your Excellency, I am here with 120,000 sincerity this time, I am very sorry for the problem you said, now we really do not have the ability to expel the Soviet army." But I think Iran's future needs more cooperation than confrontation. ”

"It's hard!" Yang Qiu deliberately aggravated his tone, pressing step by step: "We not only need a political handshake, but also some practical actions!" Mr. Mossadegh, to tell you the truth, our government needs more allies out of the need to fight the evil Soviet government. At the same time, I can tell you frankly that our country and the British government have reached a consensus on a number of issues! Therefore, I am willing to accept all friends who stand on the anti-fascist front. At the same time, I can personally assure you that my Government has no interest in Iranian land, that I support your proposal for the nationalization of oil, that I am willing to help you realize it, and that the oil and mineral agreements reached between my Government and Shah Pahlavi also abide by this principle. Just like Saudi Arabia, once the loan is repaid, most of the shares in the oil and minerals agreement are automatically transferred to your government to build the country and lift more people out of poverty. ”

Mossadegh was stunned, but he didn't expect things to suddenly turn around! The happiest thing for him was that Yang Qiu didn't intend to obstruct the major obstacle of oil nationalization! Therefore, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and immediately leaned forward and asked hurriedly, "Your Excellency, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Seeing this action, Yang Qiu knew that he had already taken the bait. Stood up and took two steps: "First of all, you need to openly take a stand so that the entire Imam recognizes the legitimacy of the Pahlavi shah, and at the same time the reform of the state and government must also abandon radical means and adopt a gradual and moderate approach!" In this regard, our government is willing to provide all-round help! Only then will I be able to persuade the Pahlavi Shah and you to continue negotiations. Secondly, our government has signed an agreement with the Saudi government on the settlement of the Chinese yuan for petroleum, and is in the process of signing such agreements with the sheikhs of Doha, West Oman and other places. In the end, you have to act, you need to sacrifice some people to tell the Iranian people and the world that you were completely coerced and misled by what happened before! ”

The first two points Mossadegh was fine, but in the last he was very difficult. Just about to ask what it meant, Bai Chongxi next to him had already reminded: "Mr. Mossadegh, I heard that the Kurds began to collude with the Soviet Union many years ago, is there such a thing?" ”

Mossadegh's eyes lit up
