readx; Britain made major concessions on the Iranian and Middle East issues, and naturally it was also in return for enough, in addition to the Burma issue, China must increase the supply of goods to Soviet Russia to help Soviet Russia against Germany. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info these materials are not given in vain, and the Russians can't afford to buy them, but they are jointly paid by Britain and the United States, after all, Britain and the United States are going to provide a lot of aid to Soviet Russia, and these aids are produced from the United States or Britain and then transported to Iran by sea and then transferred to Soviet Russia, it is better to buy them directly from China, and then directly transport them to Soviet Russia through the railway channel between China and Soviet Russia, saving time, effort and money.

In addition, China has also pledged to maintain strict neutrality on this issue and will not send weapons and equipment to China or provide new military technology to China. Of course, it is impossible to sever normal commercial and trade exchanges between China and China, and Britain, the United States, Soviet Russia, and even Germany have already learned this point, and no matter how strong the diplomatic pressure is, China has never stopped trade with China or Germany.

Moreover, China has not only traded with Germany and Germany, but has had frequent commercial and trade activities with almost all countries in the world, such as the United States, Britain, and Soviet Russia, but under the influence of the world war, the volume of trade between countries has been greatly reduced, and it is far less than before the war.

After many negotiations between Britain and China, in May 1942, Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun and British Foreign Minister met in Tehran, Iran, and then the two sides signed the "Sino-British Understanding Agreement".

Broadly speaking, it can be seen that China and Britain have reached an agreement on the distribution of interests in the Middle East and the Indian Peninsula, and the British acquiesce in China's special interests in Central Asia and Iran. China recognizes the special interests of Great Britain in the Indian Peninsula and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in the region west of Iraq.

After the Sino-British Understanding Agreement, China and the United Kingdom quickly signed the 'Sino-British Indian Ocean Convention', stipulating that the navies of the two countries will jointly ensure the maritime security of the Indian Ocean, in order to ensure the safety of navigation in all waters of the Indian Ocean.

When China and Britain agreed on a distribution of interests in the Middle East, the Iranians and Iraqis, who played supporting roles, did not yet know. It was only after the announcement of this understanding that the Iranian representative shouted: "This is a violation of our Iranian sovereignty!" ”

Although on the surface, the "Sino-British Understanding Agreement" and the "Sino-British Indian Ocean Convention" do not have any clear provisions, but these two treaties are a foundation for the distribution of interests between China and Britain in the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. Another example is that Britain acquiesced in China's trusteeship of the Andaman Islands, but the Chinese side had to guarantee that 'the navy will not enter the Indian Ocean again through the Strait of Malacca.'

A lot of it has nothing to do with Iran, but what has to do with Iran is that Britain has allowed China to build a military base off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf, and when China and Britain negotiate on this issue, the Iranians don't know anything, and in fact, the Iranians themselves can't decide.

Just like the Sino-Iranian railway, the Iranians could not decide, and when China and Britain reached an agreement, the Iranian side was forced to sign a contract for the construction of the railway. However, now this military base is not the same as the railway, it is okay to build a railway, but if this concession military base is a naked betrayal of sovereignty, which is unacceptable to any Iranian with backbone and ambition.

In the face of the strong opposition of the Iranians, Chen Jingyun frowned: "It seems that there are still a lot of Iranians with bones, what should the intelligence department do, can it be that they have been allowed to oppose it?" ”

Although an agreement has been reached with the British side, if the Iranian side also opposes it, this military base will not be built.

Lin Changzhang said: "Don't worry, Chairman, the intelligence personnel of the Central Asia Department of our Military Intelligence Department have begun to make contact, and it is estimated that the results will be available in just two days!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Well, that's good, since the current Iranian political axe is opposed, then change to a political axe that will not oppose it!" ”

China has infiltrated Iran for nearly two decades and has developed a large number of pro-China forces in Iran. If there were still British forces in Iran who were opposed, then after the Sino-British reached an understanding agreement, the British took the initiative to withdraw from Iran, and those pro-British officials in the Iranian political axe had no support.

What are you kidding, the masters they have taken refuge in have withdrawn, and they can resist there.

Under the operation of the Central Intelligence Department, and with the cooperation of a large number of pro-Chinese elements in Iran, a military coup d'état took place in Iran on May 13, 1942.

Iran's politics over the past few decades has been a constant process of change, since the twenties. After the Khan seized power and established the Pahlavi dynasty, in the twenties and thirties, Reza? Khan had always taken the initiative to unite China against British and Russian infiltration. But after China's infiltration of Iran became more and more apparent, Reza? Khan, in turn, collaborated with Britain and Russia and even Germany to try to prevent China's total control over Iran.

This situation became even more pronounced after the German attack on Soviet Russia in 1941. Khan turned almost completely to the British, vigorously opposing Chinese infiltration.

For the past twenty years, Reza? Khan's complete transformation from a pro-China element to a [***] element, and his transformation was also an important reason why Chen Jingyun wanted to oust him from power.

May 15, 1942, Reza? Khan announced his abdication, Crown Prince Reza? Pahlavi ascended the throne as Shah of Iran, followed by Reza? Pahlavi commanded pro-Chinese troops and began to sweep away the armies of those forces, and at the same time Reza? Pahlavi invited China to send peacekeepers to Iran to help him quell the rebellion.

The British side had anticipated China's advance into Iran, and had already acquiesced in this fact, but in order to protect Britain's special interests, Britain still decided to send a certain amount of troops into Iran, lest China go too far.

The reaction from the Russian side was even more violent, and they occupied the northwestern province of Azabaijan under the pretext of the unstable situation in Iran and the deterioration of the situation on the southern border of Soviet Russia.

Let's not mention all of this, and then talk about Iranian Reza? Immediately after Pahlavi stabilized his domestic regime, he signed a concession with China and gave China a part of Bandar Abbas to be used as a military base. Of course, Reza? Although Pahlavi is a pro-China element, he is not an Iranian traitor, he just believes that defecting to China can better protect Iran's interests than defecting to Britain and Soviet Russia, and although he paid a port of Abbas to China as a military base, China promised to return some of the Chinese commercial companies that had occupied the oil exploitation rights in Iran, and at the same time China promised to directly take back the oil exploitation rights occupied by Britain from Iran.

So, Reza? The first thing Pahlavi did when he came to power was to give the port of Abbas a concession to China as a military base, and the second was to announce the nationalization of oil.

Whether he did this for Iran is good or bad will have to be left to future generations to judge, but from his own point of view, relying on all kinds of assistance and diplomatic and military support provided by China is enough to free Iran from the control of Britain and Soviet Russia, and then move towards an industrial country, and the nationalization of oil has given Iran a stable source of money.

Naturally, Iran's own interests are not within the scope of Chen Jingyun's considerations, and what Chen Jingyun wants is very simple: he wants to station troops in Iran, to establish a naval military base in Iran, and to control the Strait of Hormuz. Only by controlling this strait is equivalent to controlling the oil transmission and export of the entire Gulf region in the future, and controlling this strait, can we talk about controlling the Middle East and obtaining the huge oil resources in the Middle East.

In order to obtain the military base in Bandar Abbas, in order to be able to control the Strait of Hormuz, China paid a considerable price.

As soon as the Bandar Abbas military base was obtained, China could not wait to start the construction of the military port, the army began to station the construction engineer regiment, the air force began to station a large group of combat aircraft, and the navy, the Third Fleet sent a small fleet composed of Mei-class destroyers and two minelayers, as well as torpedo boats, offshore patrol ships and other small ships, from Yangon, Burma, and then went to the Persian Gulf to prepare to enter Bandar Abbas. Even this small fleet received a readable coastal defense fleet number: the Eighth Coastal Defense Fleet.

The first batch of navy, land, and air forces stationed at the Bandar Abbas military base were mainly defensive units, the air force was air defense fighters and ground air defense units, the army was heavy artillery units, which were used to blockade the strait, and the navy was mainly mine-laying blockades. Don't look at the small size of this force, but its combat effectiveness is not weak, and it is not a big problem to block the Strait of Hormuz.

"The current Bandar Abbas military base is just the beginning! We still have a lot of things to do in the Middle East! Chen Jingyun looked at the report on the Bandar Abbas military base and smiled: "Now the British still have a very large influence in western Iran, the Russians in northwest Iran, and Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula are still under the control of the British. ”

Ma Yinchu next to him said: "Now that we are all stationed in Iran, the British have been very wary of this, if we want to continue to go west, I am afraid it will be a lot of help!" ”

Chen Jingyun demanded: "The resistance of the British side is nothing, now the British still occupy so many colonies around the world, and we are not the only ones who are jealous, and the United States is also trying its best to demolish the British colonies, otherwise how do you think the Americans will acquiesce in the reading power of the countries in the southeast region, and acquiesce in our actions in the Middle East, because they want to make these regions more reading power than we still do." If you don't read it, how will their market come from, how will industrial raw materials come from! ”

Although China and the United States are absolute potential strategic enemies, China and the United States also have common interests in some aspects, such as the fact that neither country wants the colonial system of Britain and France to continue, and it is better for the colonies of the world to read it.

In the final analysis, whether the United States or China participated in this war, whether passively or actively, but they ultimately got involved for only one reason, and that is that they need industrial markets and raw material suppliers. Why is it that China and the United States are still the biggest winners so far, because these two countries have gained a huge market for industrial goods because of the war, and through the act of war, they have secured the industrial market and the supply of raw materials after the war.

What strategic security, what national defense security, and so on are all nonsense, and war is nothing more than a regulating tool in the process of economic development.

Otherwise, Chen Jingyun would have been idle to get some Middle East strategy and support for "Ben is going to attack Australia, because there is oil in the Middle East and Australia has iron ore, and these two resources can be said to be the basic resources of the industrial economy."

Of course, I don't know these plans of China yet, but even if I know about them, what can I do, is it possible not to attack Australia? No, they will still continue to attack Australia!

Against this background, in June 1942, it was said, 'Ben launched a large-scale landing operation in Australia!'
