Nasser's shares in the Suez Canal Company were so important that he finally took back some of the shares from the British, and now let him spit them out? How can it be? In particular, the transfer of shares to the Soviet Union, which had a relationship with the local government, was simply going to kill Nasser. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the USSR did not find a way to solve this problem, then the deal could not have been reached. So is there a way for Li Xiaofeng to solve it?

Of course, there were, and without him, it would have been impossible for Yevgeny to come and negotiate with Sadat. And the solution that Li Xiaofeng came up with is very simple, that is, to knife the British. As mentioned earlier, the Americans will not only be affected by the expansion of their shares, but also the United Kingdom, which will not be able to come up with money. Since the British can't come up with the money, as long as Egypt agrees to expand its shares, it is natural that Britain's equity will also be affected. When the time comes, the Soviet Union will pay for it, and it will not be possible to successfully solve the problem by directly absorbing a part of the shares of the British.

So Yevgeny gave Sadat the following conditions: "The Soviet government will guarantee that the Egyptian government will continue to hold a 30 percent stake in the Suez Canal Company, while the Egyptian government will need to absorb at least 11 percent of the British equity and resell it to the Soviet government." So that your country will not suffer anything, and it will be possible to get the support of the Soviet government on the issue of the canal! ”

This is easy to understand, Egypt previously owned 40% of the Suez Canal Company, and was the nominal largest shareholder, but because the United Kingdom and the United States each accounted for 30%, in fact, Egyptians did not have a say in the operation of the canal company. If this opportunity is given to snatch at least 11 percent of the shares from the British, then if Egypt gains the support of the Soviet Union and will have more than 50 percent of the company's board of directors, it will be able to make a preliminary decision on the right to operate. For Egypt, this is tantamount to dividing and breaking the tacit understanding between Britain and the United States, breaking their monopoly.

To be honest, this suggestion made Sadat quite tempted, because according to the Soviet proposal, Egypt would not lose any equity at all, and it would also break the monopoly of Britain and the United States, which would be of great help to completely regain the right to operate the canal in the future. It's a win-win-win!

But Yevgeny always surprised Sadat, because Yevgeny told him that it was not just a double win, but a triple win!

"If your country considers this condition acceptable, then the Soviet government is willing to exert its influence on Israel to bring about a ceasefire between your country and Israel as soon as possible, and to exchange prisoners as soon as possible......"

This suggestion was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Sadat was not just tempted, but excited, and although he did not agree immediately, he told Yevgeny: "I am personally very satisfied with this, and I will try my best to persuade His Excellency the President to agree!" ”

After this short meeting, Sadat immediately went to the presidential residence to report to Nasser, and when Nasser heard such a generous solution that could solve all his troubles, he was not only happy, but he had only one concern - how could the Americans explain?

Yes, from the beginning of the Americans' deliberate plan to expand their shares, Nasser knew how eager the Americans were for the Suez Canal, and it is not difficult to guess that the Americans' previous wishful thinking was to grab chips from Britain and Egypt in one fell swoop, preferably with more than 50% of the shares. If according to the calculations of the Americans, this is not too difficult, is it difficult for Egypt and Britain to grab 10% of the shares?

At that time, the Suez Canal Company will be the only one in the United States, and everything will be decided by them, how cool is this? And at this time, the oblique stab killed a wishful thinking of biting gold to the Americans, and the mess was stirred up, do you think the Americans can be happy?

And the Americans are not happy, they will naturally hate Nasser, now that Egypt has just suffered a defeat, Nasser's position is not stable, if the Americans want to make trouble, whether Nasser can resist is a big problem!

However, Sadat did not think it was a big deal: "The accession of the Soviet Union will inevitably make the United States not go too far, and if you are ousted, the shares of the Soviet Union will not be settled, and the Russians will not be able to watch it, right?" The most important thing is that only this method can successfully solve all the problems we are facing now, which is already the most ideal solution! ”

Nasser was also silent about this, he knew that Sadat was right, and there could be no better solution. Although he was disgusted with the Soviet Union, which supported the Jews, he had to admit that only the Soviet Union could solve all these problems now.

After some deliberation, Nasser agreed. However, he particularly emphasized one point: "We must do a good job of secrecy, and we must not let the Americans know all this, otherwise everything will come to naught!" ”

It is also true that once the Americans know the plans of the Soviet Union and Egypt, then they will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Soviet Union come in and grab the cake, and then the matter will be in a big way. For the sake of secrecy, Nasser entrusted the entire matter of the negotiations to Sadat, and only Sadat and a very small number of people knew about it, and in order to paralyze the Americans, Nasser constantly lowered his posture and asked the United States for help in a pleading tone.

After a few days of playing, when Sadat and NORINCO reached a full agreement, Nasser pretended to be very reluctant to accept the US proposal to expand the Suez Canal, and at the emergency meeting of the Suez Canal Company, with the full support of the United States and Egypt, the proposal was passed, and only the British shareholders in the meeting were shocked to the ground.

Yes, the British were simply caught off guard, and now that the domestic economy is in a mess, they really can't afford the additional investment needed to expand the canal. And as the financial giants behind the US government begin to exert pressure, it is impossible for the British to raise funds even if they want to borrow or borrow. All in all, there is only one way for the British to go, and that is to be slaughtered!

The Americans were elated at this "victory", because they achieved their goal without a single shot, and the Soviet Union helped to shoot and bullet, and the fruits of victory were eaten by us in the United States, which is simply very happy!

Anyway, the attention of the Americans was instantly diverted, and they were busy preparing how to snatch shares from Britain and Egypt, and they did not pay attention to Egypt's small private actions at all.

Nasser is not stupid, knowing that once the matter is finally exposed, the Americans will definitely be annoyed and angry, and if they don't get it right, they will choose a new agent to replace him. Rather than being beaten passively, it was better to take the initiative to attack, and while the Americans were complacent, Nasser began a round of internal cleansing of Egypt with great vigor, and those pro-American factions close to the United States lost their lives before they could understand what was happening. It can be said that after this round of purging, the United States has lost more than half of the Belt and Road Party in Egypt, and the remaining small half has also been frightened, and they either fled in a hurry or hurriedly changed their stance and changed their camp.

The Americans actually saw Nasser's move, but the Americans did not arouse vigilance, because they thought that this was just a measure for Nasser to "save himself" -- there were fewer cents in Egypt, and the Americans had less room to choose proxies in Egypt, so they could only rely on Nasser.

Although the Americans do not hesitate to like Nasser's approach, it is not unacceptable, for Americans the difference between a few more dogs and a few fewer dogs is not too big, and Lao Tzu has a lot of money and can recruit a group of new dogs by casually spending a few dollars, and it is not difficult to get rid of Nasser and support a new agent in the future.

Therefore, the Americans only paid a little attention to this, and did not pay special attention to it, if they were more attentive, they should find that this matter is by no means so simple. Because not long after Nasser agreed to the American plan, in a new round of consultations in the Security Council on the armistice between Egypt and Israel, the Soviet Union made concessions.

After much time and energy haggling, the Soviet Union agreed to a new armistice proposed by the United States, which was quickly voted on by the Security Council. The new armistice agreement stipulates that Egypt and Israel must immediately cease fire without conditions for a limited period of time, and then disengage and return to their respective homes under the supervision of a special observer mission of the United Nations Security Council.

On the face of it, the resolution was more favorable to Egypt, since the remaining troops of the Egyptian army were basically dumplings by the IDF, and if nothing else, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed. At this point, the Security Council's resolution avoids the possibility of the total annihilation of these remaining Egyptian troops, which is very unfair to Israel.

To be honest, the Americans were a little surprised that the Soviet Union would accept such an armistice, and the Americans did not expect to do it so quickly. Originally, they just wanted to make a gesture, just to let Nasser see that they had made a move, but who would have thought that this move would be done, which really made people a little overjoyed.

But the surprise is always short-lived, just when the Americans were happily tasting the so-called victory, the change suddenly happened, on the Suez Canal board, the Egyptians suddenly took out a lot of real money, not only to keep their share, but also to snatch 11% of the shares from the British side, and even let the Americans only grab 14% of the shares from the British side, after a toss, Egypt's equity soared to 51%, and the British equity shrank to 5%, which stunned the Americans!

"Damn the Egyptians, where did they get these funds?"

This problem is not difficult to solve at all, because soon Egypt announced the sale of about 11% of its stake to NORINCO. After this round of exchanges, Egypt retained its shares, the Russians finally intervened in the Suez Canal, and the British suffered so much that they could almost declare their forces driven out of Egypt.

Afterwards, Churchill reluctantly said in his diary: "The Russians have once again exceeded our expectations, and they have always been able to do things that we have never dared to think of......

Of course, it was the Americans who were the most angry, who had been thinking about it for so long and preparing so well, but only got a little stump. Not only did it fail to achieve its goal of dominating the Suez Canal, but it also lured the wolf into the room to let the Soviet Union intervene, which was simply a complete failure!

Once again, poor Truman was surrounded by the media, and the successive crises in Cuba and Egypt had left him with a loss of face, and the only good news was that his term of office was coming to an end, even if it was only a few days away.

However, the Americans are not easy to mess with, in their opinion, Nasser is entirely to blame for this defeat, and if it weren't for this anti-bone boy, the Soviet Union would have succeeded so easily? If you don't teach this anti-bone boy a lesson, how can the United States deter those little ones? Nasser must be punished, this bastard must be made to pay!

The Americans, who were so angry, pounced on Nasser with their teeth and claws, and then retreated in despair. The reason is very simple, Nasser has already cleaned the interior in advance, although the Americans are confident that they will find a new agent, but after all, it will take time, and it will take time for the Americans to find a wishful agent in a short period of time, and this agent must accumulate strength if he wants to come to power. What's more, the Soviets are also watching from the side, they can't allow Nasser to fall so quickly, after all, the stake in the canal hasn't been heated yet, is it.

In this way, the Americans can only stare dryly, that is to say, after this round of confrontation, the Americans suffered two losses, especially the second time, and it took a lot of effort to lose their wives and soldiers, you can talk about this anger.

For a time, the attacks of the US government and opposition on Truman were like a tide, and anyway, the hat of the worst president of the United States was buttoned to Truman's head one by one, which made Lao Du very depressed. But now Lao Du is also in debt, not worried about lice, not afraid of biting, anyway, he is going to step down, whatever public opinion says, is it difficult for public opinion to impeach him.

Truman's silence meant that the US government and the opposition had fallen into a period of silence; after the previous rounds of testing, the Americans gradually figured out the attitude of the Soviet Union, and Lao Maozi was still very strong, and he was not afraid to go head-to-head with the United States on various international issues, which made the United States realize that its strength must be expanded, and only when it could really firmly overpower the Soviet Union could it shift from defense to offense.

Therefore, the Americans have once again increased their investment in defense, especially in nuclear weapons, and they have not left behind conventional weapons, putting on a posture of chasing after and crushing the Soviet Union.

So what was the attitude of the Soviet side? At this time, the leaders of the Soviet political arena were actually not interested in caring about the Americans for the time being, one was because the successive victories had not made the Soviet Union's sense of crisis not strong, and the other reason was that the congress had already been held, and the big guys still cared about the domestic trends first, and the third reason was that Lenin was critically ill and the situation was very bad......
