Hearing Wang Xing's words, Ahmet and the ministers and generals in the palace were stunned, and some couldn't believe their ears. Some people even think that they have just hallucinated, which is why they heard what they just said...

Help Iran build its own industry? Or even the military industry, and at the same time help Iran to build an army of 50,000 men, and help Iran to build its own navy? Even warships were contracted?

Truth be told, Ahmed was a little suspicious of his ears...

"Well, I'm sorry—" Rubbing his ears, Ahmet acted as if he hadn't heard clearly. I didn't seem to hear it clearly, but what you just said..."

It is no wonder that Ahmet is like this, after all, in the past, whether the British or the Russians came to his door, they basically came to ask for things. Where is it like Wang Xing, it is to send something, which can be said to be something that the Iranians have never encountered―――――― of course, in essence, in fact, Wang Xing came to the door to ask for something...

It's just that the British and Russians basically took it and walked away in the past, and the Iranians have never seen the money back, so they naturally find it a little unbelievable.

Wang Xing still knows a lot about the situation in Iran, so he naturally knows with you what Ahmed and the others are surprised about. So I wasn't surprised to see their expressions, I just repeated what I said earlier...

"My Government means that as long as your country allows us to build a railway in the north of your country, and at the same time stationing a certain number of troops to protect the safety of the railway. Then our country is ready to help your country build its own industry and military industry. At the same time, we will help your government train an army of 50,000 people, and the equipment can be borne by our country, and the navy can also help your country to train. In addition, there is a number of warships in our country that are about to be decommissioned. These warships can also be provided to your country free of charge. In addition to this, we are ready to renounce all the rights and interests of Russia in the north of your country..."

Saying this, a smile already appeared on Wang Xing's face, because he believed that these Iranians in front of him would never refuse this condition.

"Mr. Ambassador, is what you just said true?"

Before Ahmed could speak, a minister on the side had already taken the lead in asking.

"Nature." Wang Xing smiled, and then touched his nose with his hand. "This big thing. How could I possibly be joking. These also represent the sincerity of our Government. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xing's expression became slightly stricter.

"Your country, like my own, is a country with a long history. Splendid civilizations have been bred in their respective lands. However, in the last 100 years, he has been oppressed by the Western powers because of various willingness, and finally ended up as a semi-colony..."

"Shouldn't we try our best to change this environment? Believe the broadcast of the President of our country not so long ago. You've heard of it, too. Our purpose is very simple, that is, to find ways to help and rescue those countries that have been oppressed by the great powers, especially those countries in the Asian region like our own..."

At the beginning, Wang Xing really didn't understand why Yan Shao wanted to give Iran such a generous treatment. In his view, if it is only a negotiation, it is entirely possible to use Russia's interests in northern Iran as a bargaining chip. And it doesn't have to pay any price. Anyway, when the Russians were in Iran, they did everything they wanted to get. The Iranians had not been consulted at all, and now that they have come, it seems that there is no need to be too modest.

And using the interests of the Russians in Iran in the past to exchange with the Iranian government is equivalent to using other people's money to buy things, or the kind that does not need to be repaid, and it can be said that there is no loss for China.

Unlike now...

Whether it is now or in Yan Shao's era, helping people build their own industrial bases, arming an army of 50,000 people, and forming a navy or something, it is not a small investment.

Even if it is a conservative estimate, I am afraid that it will require an investment of tens of millions of yuan.

This is because the navy gives away some second-hand warships, but even second-hand warships can be sold at a good price in some weak countries...

Therefore, Wang Xing really didn't understand Yan Shao's thoughts, after all, the conditions given by Yan Shao were inevitably too good, and at the same time, they were not quite in line with the rules of this era.

But then Wang Xing understood that Yan Shao did this time not just to build a railway in Iran―――――― of course, this must be one of the main purposes, but Yan Shao's purpose is not just that.

What is the purpose of Yan Shao, first of all, to break the control of the great powers on this world.

Although China is already very strong today, especially after the success of the Second Five-Year Plan, it can definitely have the strength of any other country. But with this strength alone, it may be difficult to break the control of the great powers over this world.

Therefore, Yan Shao needs allies, the problem is that since they are allies, they need to have a certain amount of strength. However, there are only seven independent countries in Asia, and Japan is the only one that can play a role, excluding Nepal and Bhutan, Thailand and Iran can barely use it...

If this were not the case, Yan Shao would not have been able to find a way to ease relations with Japan, and at the same time find a way to pull Japan onto Yan Shao's chariot.

However, Japan alone is obviously not enough, and this ally may not be reliable.

Therefore, Yan Shao needs to pick two more allies, at least allies that can have some effect. At this time, Iran and Thailand naturally entered Yan Shao's sight.

Among them, Thailand naturally needs to be said to be the most suitable candidate, at least at present, except for Japan. As for Iran, although Iran is not a yellow country like China, it seems that there is no way to pay so much attention at this time.

The most important point is that Yan Shao has no other choice.

So the plan this time. In addition to building a railway in Iran's northern territories that would connect with Iraq, the most important point is to support pro-China forces in Iran. Allowing Iran to sit on China's freshly refurbished chariot will play a huge role in Yan Shao's future plans.

But before that. First of all, we must first support the current Iranian government.

Otherwise, if Iran is still the same as before, then there is basically no value of support, no, I'm afraid there is no value in even helping, as long as it can not help Yan Shao, thank God―――――― just like Italy in history.

Although Nazi Germany had swept across Europe under the Führer, the powerful country was eventually dragged down by Italy.

Italy. It is not a pig teammate, but also a god teammate of the allies.

With such a teammate in Cunzài, why worry that the Allies can't win.

Of course. The Italians can also be said to be cunning and cunning in a way. During World War I, the Italians temporarily switched to the Allied camp, only to wait until the war was over. became one of the victorious powers. At the Versailles Peace Conference, the head of Italy was even listed as the Big Four with Britain, France and the United States, but later for a variety of reasons, of course, the most important thing was that the Italians themselves did not have the strength, so in the end the Big Four became the Big Three.

When World War II came and saw that the Axis powers were about to be defeated, Italy simply jumped ship again, after overthrowing the original Nazi government. Successfully switched sides.

As a result, although the Italians were also members of the Axis powers, they were among all the Axis powers. Italy, on the other hand, has become the least punished country.

At the same time, it is also the only country that has not been held against other countries―――――― of course, given the appearance of the Italians in World War II, it seems that there is nothing to hold grudges against.

All in all, if Iran can be co-opted, and at the same time Iran can be supported as a slightly more powerful country, then the benefits for China will definitely be many.

First of all, Yan Shao no longer has to worry about the problem of connecting with the Middle East, and can directly take Iran's railways or roads, or the Caspian Sea, which can make China easily contact with its territory in the Middle East.

Second, if Iran had become more powerful, Iran would have been able to flank India's security when a conflict broke out between Yan Shao and the British.

Iran is bordered by Afghanistan to the north and Pakistan to the south.

As long as Iran is strong enough to break through the buffer zone established by the British here, it can directly threaten India's security. In addition, China can send troops from Tajik Province or Tibet and other places...

Of course, this qiē must first have enough strength for the Iranians, but Yan Shao is still relatively relieved about this. After all, in Yan Shao's era, the Iranians were still relatively competitive, although they were certainly not comparable with many countries, but they were always much stronger than most of Southeast Asia.

With some care, there is absolutely no problem.

And as long as he can draw Japan, Thailand and Iran to his side, Yan Shao can compete head-on with Britain and the United States and other countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

It seems that some are not used to receiving so many benefits, and the Iranians are slightly hesitant.

I don't know how long it took for Ahmed to speak slowly. "Could you please wait for a while, Mr. Ambassador, and then give you an answer after I have discussed it with the ministers."

"Absolutely!" Wang Xing also knew that such an important matter was definitely not something that could be decided in a hurry, so he was not in a hurry at all, anyway, the domestic order was as long as he could get a reply within a month. "In that case, then I will take my leave first, and ask Your Majesty and the ministers to give a reply..."

With that, after saluting Ahmet and some other ministers in front of him, the king slowly withdrew from the palace.

Outside, his entourage had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Wang Xing come out, they all gathered around him. However, they did not ask Wang Xing what the outcome of the meeting was, but only followed Wang Xing and left the palace with him.

After Wang Xing and his party opened from the palace, they sat on the peacock throne. After a slight pause, Ahmet looked at the ministers around him.

"What do you think of the ambassador Wang Xing's mention just now?"

"Honestly—" after a moment of silence. One of the ministers standing to Ahmed's left spoke, his expression a little complicated. "It's good, it's even good, it's a little hard to believe it's true..."

"yes!" It seems that because someone spoke, someone quickly agreed. "I thought that this time the Chinese came to the door, looking for trouble like before, but I didn't expect it..."

"It's good to rule out that the Chinese want to build railways and station troops on our territory. Even considering the conditions of the Chinese, even the stationing of troops on the territory of our country does not seem so difficult to accept ..."

Several other generals on the side also nodded.

Such conditions were in Yan Shao's time. I'm afraid it's hard to get a few countries to agree. While the conditions are indeed good, is there anything more humiliating than allowing the armies of other countries to be stationed on their own territory unless necessary?

Especially those that seem to be in good condition. What's the difference between this and making a trade? And the dignity of a nation. Obviously, you can't trade it!

At least in Yan Shao's era, if anyone agreed to such a condition, they would definitely be sprayed to death by the citizens of their own country!

Of course, there are special exceptions, such as when the country is facing an external threat and needs the protection of other countries. It is like Japan and South Korea in later generations, but even in Japan and South Korea, there are many people who are very disgusted with the stationing of US troops.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Despite the conditions put forward by Wang Xing not long ago. It seems to be a very good look, but wait until Ahmet brings it up. Whether or not to accede to a request from a Chinese.

The ministers and generals present all became a little hesitant.

On the one hand, because they have suffered too many losses in the past, so when they encounter such good conditions for the first time, they will inevitably have some doubts in their hearts, afraid that this is a trap or something. On the other hand, it's also because of some hesitation...

Let alone...

"We don't know the attitude of the British yet, and if the British oppose it, I'm afraid this matter will be a bit of a problem..."

Standing next to Ahmet, a general spoke softly.

Hearing his words, almost all the people nearby nodded.

It is not surprising that, in any case, the British can be regarded as having great influence on this Iran, and it can even be said that they have the power of life and death. Such a thing, without the consent of the British, is obviously impossible to carry out.

Even...

As if thinking of something, the faces of the people present became a little ugly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After two days of waiting at the Chinese embassy in Iran, Wang finally got a reply from the Iranians. They agreed in principle, but on the condition that they must first seek the opinion of the British, or rather, at least that the British must not react excessively on the matter.

It has to be said that although China was already one of the great powers at this time, in the eyes of the Iranians, China today is far less powerful than Britain. After all, Britain is an old world power and has been sitting in the number one position in the world for many years.

How to say, in the eyes of many people, China today is like a giant who has recovered from a long illness, although it is already a behemoth for a country like Iran, but Britain is also a giant, and it is a giant with only minor injuries――――――well, it may be slander.

In any case, at least in the eyes of the world, China is undoubtedly no match for Britain.

This is indeed the case, although China is already very strong at this time. However, there is still a certain gap compared to the United Kingdom, after all, it is not easy to make a country strong in more than six years and close to seven years.

What is particularly important is that if it is said that it is a battle on the mainland, that is, if the British attack the mainland, Yan Shao is confident that the British will be annihilated.

However, if it were an expedition, or if it was to fight at a distance from the Chinese mainland, I am afraid that China would be much weaker than the British.

No way, it's not just the industrial and economic gap, it's also the accumulation gap.

This is just like in later generations, although China's military spending has increased every year, especially before Yan Shao crossed into the past, it has climbed to the second place in the world. However, in terms of equipment, there is still a big gap between it and those developed countries that have a big gap in military spending with China.

One of the reasons for this is naturally because those countries have fewer standing armies than China, but the other reason is because of accumulation.

It's like one country, which has been spending tens of billions of dollars on its military for 20 years, while another country, which originally had only a few billions, has gradually increased because of its economy.

Although on the surface, the country's annual military spending is three times that of other developed countries, and it seems that it should be much better than them, but in fact, from the perspective of accumulation, China's military spending is still far behind...

What's more, China's standing army is also many times larger than the other side, and it will probably take many years to surpass the other side in an all-round way...

The same is true in China today, after more than six years, what it has accumulated is not enough after all...

If you want to achieve the UK's Chengdù, you not only need to develop, but also need time to accumulate. (To be continued......)
