Chapter 890: France Surrenders
@@@@
Mossadegh coughed lightly, hiding his inner crampedness.
It is a good idea to shift the blame for "luring the wolf into the house" to the ethnic minorities and Kurds in northern Iran, because the imams and these ethnic groups themselves are very different, but once this opening is opened, northern Iran will inevitably fall into long-term turmoil and unrest in the future. He was not a fool, and knew that Yang Qiu would not attack the Kurds for no reason, although they did have close ties with the Soviet Union. So there must be a deep strategic meaning hidden behind it, so what is the meaning?
Gu Yu, who was sitting next to him as a meeting recorder, was also a little puzzled, and quietly approached Gu Weijun's side: "Minister Gu, will he agree?" Why pass it on to the Kurds? ”
Gu Weijun glanced at the Mossad who was talking to Yang Qiu, and said softly: "He is not stupid, if he wants to wash away the charge of "luring wolves into the house", in the future, if we and Britain and the United States do not brand themselves as lackeys of the Soviet Nazis, we must find a backer." Now Britain and France are unable to protect themselves, the United States does not take action, and the only ones who can protect him are us and the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Kurds have always hoped to establish a new state across Iran, Iraq and Turkey, and the pro-German forces in Iraq are very strong, and the Turkish government has been worried after the Soviet troops moved south, so if they can arouse their hatred and dissatisfaction with the Kurds, and label them as internal to the Soviet Union, Turkey and Russia, which have been fighting for hundreds of years, will clash head-on! The surrender of France is imminent, and it is difficult to say whether Britain can protect itself, who do you say the Turkish government can rely on? Besides, Mossadegh's biggest slogan is the nationalization of oil and the use of oil revenues to subsidize the state finances, but if we don't care, how can he talk about taking back the Anglo-Iranian oil company from the British? ”
"I know what you said, provoking the Kurdish issue will definitely pull Turkey to our side, but the Kurdish agglomeration is close to the Caucasus. Will this cause problems for our future actions? Doesn't the president want to hit the Caucasus? ”
"We are in trouble for a while, but Iran is in trouble for a lifetime, and as long as Mossadegh transfers the blame to the Kurds, the bane between the nations will be planted. Turkey has always wavered and is very pro-German at home, but if the Kurdish issue breaks out, they will have to act against the USSR! In this way, we are one step closer. Besides, we are now quasi-allies with Britain and France after all. Perhaps the president will announce the alliance at the Cairo conference in a few days' time. Therefore, neither the Persian Gulf nor the South China Sea can directly come forward to solve the problem by excessive means. The sun is a pawn, and so is Persia! The president did this in order to gradually eliminate the influence of Britain and France! Now that we're in both places and we've shown enough strength, it's only natural that someone will come and help us achieve our goals. There's no need to rush to the front desk yourself! As for the Caucasus, the president will definitely fight, without Baku, the Soviet Union's oil production will drop by seventy percent, even if we can't hit Ukraine and Europe, the Soviet Union's industrial capacity will seriously decline, but I heard Chief of Staff Yue say that the Caucasus is a mountainous area, and the terrain is long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am afraid that it will consume a lot of money in a fight, so they will not do it until the South Sea Passage and the Central Asian Railway are completely resolved. ”
Gu Yu let out a long sigh, he didn't expect that a Kurdish could be involved in such a complex political dispute. I admired Yang Qiu even more: "The president is so powerful, one Kurdish can disrupt the long-term situation in the region." ”
"Hehe, the president is the most realistic national interest, which is a blessing for the country. You have to remember. We are already a big country, and a big country must abide by the rules of the game of a big country! We need Iran and the South Seas. The Persian Gulf and Malacca are needed, but no country or power in this region can develop in peace and stability, and a new type of country is restricted, this is the rule of the game between the great powers! ”
When the two whispered, Mossadegh agreed to Yang Qiu's overall suggestion after careful consideration, saying that he would search for evidence of Kurdish collusion with the Soviet Union as soon as possible, and said that he would cooperate with the Wehrmacht to launch an uprising, and expel the Soviet troops as soon as possible. He also hoped that Yang Qiu would arrange a meeting between him and Pahlavi as soon as possible to start negotiations on the construction of a new government.
"Mr. Mossadegh, I'm glad you made the choice to fight for, and tomorrow I will send someone to secretly send you to Ahvaz to see the Pahlavi king." After Yang Qiu agreed, he got up and looked at his watch and smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things." Sir, the cocktail party is about to start, is there any interest in coming together. ”
"President, President! France, France. ”
As soon as Yang Qiu was about to invite Mossadegh to visit the air base and participate in the officers' fraternity, Li Mingrui ran in from outside, panting. He looked like this, and even Mossadegh stopped in surprise and exchanged words with the interpreter.
"Slowly, what's the matter?"
Running here from the telegraph room in one breath, Li Mingrui almost ran out of breath, and only after taking two breaths did he stand up and salute: "Report to the president, I just received the news that France has surrendered!" ”
.
France surrendered!
In the pre-dawn Hue Catholic Church, suppressed cheers erupted. In seclusion, former Annan cabinet secretary Ngo Dinh Diem held a telegram of France's surrender and waved repeatedly in the living room. "Big brother, surrender, surrender! The French are finished! In the end, excitedly, he hugged a similar-looking man in a priest's robe next to him and patted him on the back.
The man was his elder brother, named Ngo Dinh Cuy. He used to be a radical official, but after seeing through the treacherous career and unable to get rid of the rule of the French colonial government, he simply quit politics and became the archbishop of Shunhua. He was also very happy to see the end of the French colonizers in his lifetime, and asked, "Second brother, what are you going to do next?" ”
"Uprising! Gather everyone to start an uprising and overthrow the French colonists! ”
"That's right! Put Chen Zhongjin, who colluded with the Japanese, to death! Let Bao the Great abdicate and establish a democratic and free Vietnam. ”
Several Wu brothers and young people from the Vietnamese Revolutionary Party who were sitting next to them jumped up one after another, one by two clamoring for an immediate revolution to overthrow the French colonial rule. Ngo Dinh Cuy beckoned everyone to calm down, don't look at him no longer asking about the world and concentrating on religious affairs, but in fact he is an important aide to several younger brothers and the Annan Revolutionary Party, and many actions are formulated by him and covered by religion. Everyone respected him very much, and they all quieted down when they saw the waving.
Ngo Dinh Kui glanced at everyone and said slowly: "The revolution is definitely going to take place, but now the domestic situation is complicated, both Japan and China have intervened, the French colonists still control the bridge, railway and military facilities, and there are also many troops here in Hue. ”
Remembering the failed Anpei uprising ten years ago, everyone fell silent. In that uprising, many Vietnamese soldiers were organized, and they were successful for a time, but due to the lack of international support, they blindly believed that they could defeat the colonial army on their own, which led to failure.
Wu Tingyan knew that her eldest brother was resourceful, and asked, "Big brother, then what do you say we should do?" ”
"The problem is with Emperor Bao." Wu Tingkui took two steps and said in a deep voice: "From the current point of view, neither the French nor the Japanese want to overthrow the old royal family, France wants to ensure stability for Emperor Bao, and the Japanese also want Emperor Bao to support them, only the Chinese are currently unclear." Although they have repeatedly stated that the troops are only sent to fulfill the defense agreement with the French, I think it is not that simple. This is a world war, and China and Japan will definitely turn their faces in the end, so we must first figure out whether China wants to overthrow Bao Da and establish a free Vietnam, or whether it wants to support the old government.
What's more, Japan also has its own advantages, they don't need to fight on both sides, and they can easily send a large number of troops into our country, but China needs to fight on two fronts, and the main energy is to deal with the Soviets and Central Asia, and the Yang Qiu people have always wanted to trade with Britain and France. Personally, though, I'm bullish on China. ”
After Wu Tingkui finished speaking, Wu Tingyan immediately nodded, but then frowned and said: "Big brother, I have some connections with the China Democratic Party, but they are opposition parties, and on the side of the National Socialist Party, Ho Chi Minh and Wu Yuanjia have always had conflicts with us, who should we contact?" ”
In the early years of the Xinhai year, Vietnam was deeply influenced by the Three People's Principles and the People's Party, and there were a large number of Kuomintang members. However, after Yang Thu and the Kuomintang Socialist Party came to power, they actively devoted themselves to forming an alliance with Britain and France externally, concentrating on construction at home, and always adopting an attitude of both suppression and cooperation towards the Kuomintang Party, resulting in heavy losses for the Kuomintang Party of Vietnam, and a large number of party members defected to the Kuomintang Socialist Party headed by Ho Chi Minh. Therefore, the attitude of the Vietnamese Kuomintang towards the national community is not good. Because the Vietnamese National News Agency believed that it should learn from China in its entirety, form an alliance with China, and give up the area north of the Red River in exchange for military and industrial aid, but the Vietnamese Kuomintang insisted on establishing an independent Vietnam after overthrowing Bao Da, and preferred to turn to Britain and the United States, so there have always been differences and conflicts between the two sides.
"Find Ambassador Wu Chaoshu! He is a member of the Democratic Party and an ambassador to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chen Ming, a tall man who had been a soldier, stood up.
"Yes, we should be contacted, but let's not forget that the Kuomintang and Yang Qiu are now in charge of China, and their position cannot be shaken in the short term."
"Otherwise, let's go find Hu Xuelan, who studied at the Baoding Army Academy and is a member of the National Socialist Party." Wu Tingru, the third elder of the Wu family, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke. If the eldest of the Wu brothers is a staff member and the second is a politician, then he is a pure thug and tyrant, and even because the Buddhists support Emperor Bao, he has fought with the Buddhists several times.
Wu Tingkui looked at the third brother, nodded and said, "Hu Xuelan can contact him, but if you want to act, you must also talk to Mr. Pan Peizhu." He has a great influence in our party, and if he can come forward, things can be successful. ”
"Pan Peizhu? I'm afraid that old guy can't get out of bed anymore, why contact him. Wu Tingru pursed his lips, a look of dissatisfaction.
Wu Tingyan didn't seem to hear the complaints, got up and said, "Then according to the method that the eldest brother said, I will contact Master Pan, and then go to Saigon to contact Ambassador Wu Chaoshu." Daming, you go to Hanoi to find Mr. Hu Xuelan and ask him to contact the Chinese generals on his behalf to see if you can buy arms, and it is best if China can send troops to cooperate. ”
"Okay." Yang Ming immediately got up, and at this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Nguyen Xiang San, who was watching the wind outside, walked in quickly: "No need to go to Saigon, I was just told that Ambassador Wu Chaoshu has come to Hue!" ”
