Chapter 786: The Usurper's Fate (Twenty-five Watches)
Because of the defeat of the army of the Kingdom of Iran, the Imperial Army was able to advance all the way to Tehran at a rapid pace. The speed of the advance frightened the usurpatory king of the kingdom of Iran, Sai Giyadin, and the Minister of War Reza Pahlavi. The two went to the British Legation together to discuss countermeasures with the British Minister to the Kingdom of Iran. After all, the British are their backers. How dare they carry out a coup d'état if it had not been planned by the British?
"Your Excellency, when will the reinforcements from the British Empire arrive? The army of the Chinese and those damned traitors are only three or four days away from Tehran! Sai Giadin asked.
He hated the Chinese* army and the army of Ahmad Shah. Of course, some of them have always been Ahmad Shah. However, there are also many people who were originally loyal to him. But now, when those guys saw that Ahmad Shah was powerful and seemed to be winning, they all betrayed. This made Sai Giadin grit his teeth in hatred.
"Your Majesty, our army has departed from India. However, it is a long way to go from India to Tehran, and it will take a long time. Gillat explained. In fact, even he himself could not make up his mind, and he did not know whether the British and Indian troops would be able to rush to Tehran. After all, they staged a coup d'état before, planning to get rid of Ahmad Shah in one fell swoop, so that the Chinese would have no excuse to meddle in the Kingdom of Iran. But now, their plan has failed. The Chinese* army has entered the Kingdom of Iran in a big way. This left Britain with no choice but to use force against the Chinese* army.
"Your Excellency, please urge your country's army to be faster! Otherwise, we're doomed. Reza Pahlavi also said. He had only been Minister of War for a few days, and he had not had time to enjoy the power if Ahmad Shah returned. Then he and Sai Giadin must be dead!
"Yes, Your Excellency, please be quick with your army." Sai Giadin also said.
"Well, I will contact the country and let the country urge them." Minister Girat said.
This time. The secretary of the legation walked in and sent a telegram to Minister Girat to him. After reading the telegram, Minister Girart's face suddenly became ugly. It also lifted the hearts of Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi.
"Your Excellency, what happened?" Sai Giadin hurriedly asked. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty, a telegram has been sent from the country. The military strength of the Chinese is too strong, and the army of the Kingdom of Iran is mostly unreliable. Therefore, the country advised us to go to the south of Iran. There were troops from India there. We can go there first and then try to make a comeback. Minister Girat said. Obviously, this is because the British see that the Chinese army is not easy to deal with. So I plan to retreat on my own initiative.
"What? If we want to give up Tehran, how can that work? Sai Giadin exclaimed. Tehran is the capital of the Kingdom of Iran, and if Tehran is abandoned, then he, the unjustified king, will probably no longer be heeded.
"This is only temporary, we can go to the south of the Kingdom of Iran first to accumulate strength. After accumulating the strength of the motherland, they will launch a counterattack and retake Tehran. Minister Girat said.
Neither Sai Gyaddin nor Reza Pahlavi had a good look. If they abandon Tehran and run away. Then they will probably be regarded as real rebels by all Iranians. This is for the two. It is absolutely unacceptable.
"Your Majesty, by giving up Tehran, you can save your life and the chance to make a comeback. If you hold on to Tehran, once the Chinese* army arrives, then you will definitely die. Ahmad Shah's relatives were all slaughtered by your order. What do you think. What will Ahmad Shah do to you when he returns to power in Iran? I guess the first order is to kill you and your family. Minister Girat said.
A flash of fear flashed in the eyes of Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi. When they first killed Ahmad Shah's relatives, they were only quick to do so. The anger that arose over Ahmed Shah's escape was taken out on the innocent people. However, now that it was their turn, they felt a little unacceptable.
"Alas! Well, let's go south! Someday, we'll be back. Said Syard Giaddin.
Reza Pahlavi also nodded. Although he was also a little unwilling. However, he knew that there was no way around it.
"Okay, you guys go back and get ready, and we'll leave Tehran overnight." Minister Girat said.
"Need to be in such a hurry? It's too late to leave tomorrow morning. Said Syard Giaddin. To escape Tehran, he would need to take his entire family with him, as well as the wealth he needed to take with him. Without these wealth, if he wants to make a comeback, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
"You have to leave immediately, otherwise you will have a lot of dreams at night." Minister Girat insisted.
Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi had no choice but to do as Gilat was told.
Although, one of the two is the king and the other is the minister of war, they are the top bigwigs in the Kingdom of Iran. However, in front of the British minister, they were just lackeys. Especially at this time of age, the British have become their only support. If the British don't care whether they live or die, then they are doomed.
At this moment, a sound like thunder was heard in the distance.
"Damn it, thunder? If that's the case, how are we going to get there? Sai Giadin said with a frown.
"No, it's not thunder, it's shelling." Reza Pahlavi's face was very ugly.
"Shelling? Did the Chinese call? How is this possible? Aren't they still three or four days away from Tehran? How did it come so quickly? All at once Sai Giadin's face turned pale, and there was not a trace of blood.
"How do I know?" Reza Pahlavi also could not believe such an outcome.
A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the British minister, Gilat, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he was the British minister to the Kingdom of Iran, even if he planned this coup, whether Chinese or Iranian. Obviously, they didn't dare to do anything to him.
At this moment, in the city of Tehran, there are still tens of thousands of elite cavalry loyal to Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi. They can be said to be the last reliance of Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi.
The armies that appeared outside the city were the 9th Cavalry Brigade and the 13th Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army. The speed of the cavalry brigade is naturally much faster than that of the infantry. Especially when there is no resistance from the Iranian army, they are completely like they have entered no man's land. Soon advanced to the city of Tehran.
Because it was night, the Imperial cavalry did not attack, but shelled the city with artillery, putting pressure on the Iranian troops inside the city. Both cavalry brigades were equipped with a two-company artillery battalion. A total of 36 75mm field guns were constantly firing into the city. The shells exploded in the city, destroying buildings one after another, and causing panic among the Iranians and the rebels in the city.
The Iranian army had rudimentary weapons, with the exception of rifles and bayonets. Hardly any other weapons are equipped. Cannons and machine guns are very scarce. Even compared to the Imperial cavalry, it was far inferior.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the Imperial cavalry attacked. Although, attacking the city with cavalry is undoubtedly a stupid move. However, it depends on what kind of army you are facing. If it is a first-class army, then this is naturally an act of seeking death. However, in the face of the garbage-like Iranian army, this is undoubtedly a very strong offensive.
The Iranian defenders did not rely on the buildings inside the city to resist. Instead, they engaged in fierce battles with the Imperial cavalry in the streets. The consequences of this can be imagined. The Iranian defenders were completely overwhelmed by the superior firepower of the Imperial cavalry, and suffered extremely heavy losses.
Less than half a day. Tens of thousands of Iranian defenders collapsed due to heavy losses. In the afternoon, the armies had mutinied. They captured Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi and surrendered to the Chinese* army.
After receiving the news, Ahmad Shah rushed to Tehran overnight.
"Your Majesty, it was the British who bewitched us, and we were also ordered by the British. I have to start a rebellion! Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive us. Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi hurriedly begged for mercy.
It's just that Ahmad Shah is already carried away by anger now, how can he listen to these guys' pleas for mercy?
Ahmad Shah ordered the killing of Sai Gyaddin and Reza Pahlavi in the most brutal way. Both of them died after suffering a variety of tortures. As for their families and the troops who were the first to rebel, they were all killed. The whole of Tehran. More than 10,000 people died.
In addition, Ahmad Shah also had a grudge against the British minister Gillard. It's just that because of the identity of the other party, it's not easy for him to start. However, he didn't want to see the other party continue to be arrogant.
After consulting the Chinese side, Ahmad Shah still made a move.
That night, the British legation in the Kingdom of Iran caught fire. More than 20 people, including Minister Girat were burned to death, and none of them were spared. Of course, everyone knows what the truth is. (To be continued.) )
