    The Abu Dhabi Citadel on the shores of the Persian Gulf was full of joy, with senior military and political officials from China, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Doha and Western Oman (now the United Arab Emirates) gathered together.

    Taking advantage of diplomatic pressure and a large number of bomber orders from the Soviet army to invade Iran, after Yang Qiu exchanged control of Bahrain, Doha and West Oman (today's United Arab Emirates) from the British, the Ministry of National Defense immediately dispatched troops to the above-mentioned areas.  The Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also quickly signed loans and lease agreements with the chiefs of these places for 99 years, such as naval and air force bases, laying a solid foundation for China to maintain a long-term military presence in the Persian Gulf.

    In front of the building in the center of the base, the Presidential Guard, armed with live ammunition, kept a vigilant eye, and more than a dozen Siberian Tiger tanks and armored vehicles were scattered around.  On the tarmac in the distance, eight Thunderbolts protect two identical special planes and are ready to take off. All of this tells others how important the VIPs coming today are.

    "President, this is the Southwest War Report sent by Minister Song." Bai Chongxi stood beside him holding the document.  After Jiang Baili went to Britain, he acted as the president's military assistant.  Yang Qiu, who was choosing clothes for the party in front of the mirror, waved his hand: "I won't read it, just read it."

    "Yes. The Navy reported that it has occupied ten key Annan islands, including Con Dao, Phu Quoc Island and Ca Mau Point, and has released a large number of political prisoners on Con Dao Island who were exiled by the French colonial army. The field airport on the island will be available for use within a week at the latest.  The commando team also arrived in Siem Reap at two o'clock in the afternoon to join the local French army, took control of the airport, and had the first exchange of fire with the Japanese 55th Regiment. As of now, the exchange of fire is still continuing. According to French army intelligence, the Japanese army attacking Siem Reap has already  It has been increased to one division, and is supported by a tank brigade and an artillery regiment. Currently, the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Airborne Division is speeding to Siem Reap Airport, the 2nd Marine Division has all landed in Kampong Som, and the 4th Division has also arrived in Xianang  The landing at the port has been completed and the troops are deploying in depth. Commander Binh said. The French navy in Cam Ranh Bay refused to withdraw. Considering the threat of the fortress shore artillery, he has given up landing here. According to accurate information, the French army has also begun to strengthen Hue's  Defense should be to prevent us from getting close to the Annan puppet government and Emperor Bao Dai."

    Bai Chongxi wet her fingers and turned to the next page: "Commander Ouyang of the 17th Army reported that the Third Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division has carried out an airborne landing in Ban Papong, east of Vientiane. During the airborne landing, 11 people were missing and 27 were injured.  At present, the troops are moving closer to Vientiane, encountering some Siamese troops blocking the way. But they have not encountered Japanese troops. The 69th Division and the 70th Division have crossed the Red River from the direction of Lao Cai. The 224th Division took over the Hai Phong Port at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the 17th Armored Division arrived in Bac Ninh.  The army refused to open the Hanoi Bridge and stayed there temporarily. The 71st and 72nd Divisions are expected to cross the river from Yuechi tonight. Commander Ouyang said that overall, the troops are advancing smoothly and have not encountered resistance yet. However, due to the French Governor and  The French army is still unwilling to open the railway bridge and military facilities, so the troops are advancing slowly. He requested the General Staff to use force to expel them, and requested a naval gunboat formation to rush to Vientiane immediately to support the airborne regiment."

    ¡°Are there no Japanese troops in Vientiane?¡±

    "The telegram didn't say that. It only said that those attacking the north of Laos (Laos) were all Siamese Army troops, numbering about 100,000. However, traces of the Japanese 29th Division had been found southwest of the Mekong River in Champasak. The French army there was under heavy shelling.  , the casualties were very heavy. Commander Qiu Wenbin has asked the Fourth Marine Division to speed up and rush to support at starry night." Bai Chongxi continued: "There is one more thing. The American Colonel Stilwell was very dissatisfied with our blockade of the war in Central Asia, so he proposed  Let them send people to observe the military operations in the southeastern peninsula.¡±

    After Yang Qiu chose a brown shirt, he turned around and said: "Call back to the Prime Minister and Minister Song, so that Stilwell and the US military can observe."

    "What about France? The negotiations between Germany and France are extremely delayed. Depending on the situation, it will take at least a week to get results. Let that old guy in Deku insist on insisting on railways and military facilities, and let warships block the mouth of the Mekong River. If we take  Without these things, I¡¯m afraid there will be logistical problems.¡±

    "Why are we in such a hurry? We don't have to worry about these things. Someone will stand up and help us finish it soon." Yang Qiu knew the military's thoughts very well. They did not consider international relations and wished they could occupy all of Asia in just a few seconds.  .  So Bu Xi Bu Xu asked while buttoning his buttons, "Where's Xu Shuzheng?"

    "After encircling Lukin's main force in the Petropavlovsk Triangle, Commander Xu has ordered a general attack on Tashkent in the early morning of the day after tomorrow! In Moscow, Stalin was very angry about this defeat and had dismissed Zhukov from his post and transferred him to Austria  Lundborg appointed the garrison commander in charge of the reserves, appointed Timoshenko as the commander of the Siberian Front, and Rokossovsky as the commander of the Ural Front. Lukin broke through at the last moment and saved Petropavlovsk, so  He was not removed from his post and continued to serve as the commander of the Kazakh Front."

    "Hehe, Zhukov is lucky." Yang Qiu didn't expect that Zhukov didn't finish it. He smiled, turned around, signed the approved approval on the document, and asked, "Mossadegh is here."???  "

    "I'm waiting for you in the small living room."

    "Let's go meet him." Yang Qiu put down his pen and walked quickly to the small living room downstairs.

    In the living room, Mossadegh, who had put on a suit, looked uneasy and kept whispering to his assistant.  In the past six months, he felt as uncomfortable as a poisonous snake coiled in his heart.  He regretted that he had not seen the situation clearly, and he did not expect that China would take action so firmly. Although Reza Khan was quickly deposed and Pahlavi came to power, the Battle of Ahvaz undoubtedly told the entire Persian Gulf region that there was no longer just Britain and France here.  Where Sue has the final say.  Especially the astonishing 1.17 million encirclement in the East Kazakh War shocked him even more.

    With the National Defense Forces' victories in Central Asia and the Turkmenistan in the north being almost completely occupied, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the Soviet Persian Front forces retreat.  The biggest backer was crumbling. On the contrary, Pahlavi assumed the position of a liberator because of China's strong support at all costs. However, in the hearts of Iranians, the Imam became the culprit who lured the wolf into the house and led the country into war!  Even Britain, France and the United States consider themselves and the Imam to be disruptors of regional peace!  So after careful consideration, he decided to extend an olive branch to Beijing.  But he didn't expect that Yang Qiu promised to meet, but made him wait for half a month in anxiety, uneasiness and tension.

    He understands the meaning here, so he pays more attention to tonight's meeting.  Because he knew that he had few options.

    "Your Excellency Mossadegh, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

    A burst of brisk footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and he raised his head to find out.  The man who had made him worried and nervous for half a month had already appeared at the door, walked quickly, smiled and extended his hand.  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's my personal honor and the honor of the entire Iranian Imam that Mr. President can meet me despite his busy schedule." Mossadegh immediately stretched out his hand and scanned Yang Qiu's face twice, but could not see anything.  thought.

    "Everyone, please sit down. Yuwen, let Madam make the Longjing tea I brought. Mr. Mossadegh is my most distinguished guest." Yang Qiu seemed not to hear the meaning of kidnapping the entire Iranian imam.  After inviting everyone to sit down, he looked at the face of Mossadegh, who was later known as the pioneer of Iranian oil nationalization and the father of the revolution, and asked knowingly: "Sir, I heard that you have something important to see me about. I don't know what it is.  matter?"

    After learning the question from the interpreter, Mossadegh frowned.  He didn't expect Yang Qiu to be so cunning.  He actually turned the topic around, which was obviously to convince himself to speak out.  But just like the Soviet army that is retreating steadily, the only bargaining chip he has left now is probably the Imam believers all over Iran.  So I took a deep breath and said directly in English: "Your Excellency, first of all, I am very happy that you are willing to see me at such a moment. The purpose of my coming this time is very simple. I hope you can mediate between us and King Pahlavi."  conflicts, and let peace return to Iran as soon as possible."

    Hearing the word "King", Yang Qiu smiled in his heart, but his face was solemn: "Mr. Mossadegh, I am very willing to help you, but I and our government have made a promise not to interfere in the affairs of other countries."  Internal affairs. Likewise. My army is not a colonial army and our current military operations are solely against the Soviets and those who are helping them! So with all due respect, while I personally appreciate your efforts to achieve full independent statehood for Iran  , and are willing to help Iran truly obtain these statuses, just like the current Saudi government. But how do you deal with the Soviet occupying forces? Without expelling them, it may be difficult to gain mutual trust between you and King Pahlavi."

    Mossadegh¡¯s expression changed. This was his most difficult problem now!  If the Soviet army does not leave, the shame of "leading the wolf into the house" will never be washed away!  Thinking of this, a layer of dense sweat dripped down his back. When he saw the smile on Yang Qiu's lips from the corner of his eye, he knew that he had to admit defeat completely, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, this time I am carrying ten  I come with 20,000 sincerity. I am very sorry for the problem you mentioned. Now we really do not have the ability to expel the Soviet army. But I think Iran¡¯s future requires more cooperation rather than confrontation.¡±

    "This is difficult!" Yang Qiu deliberately emphasized his tone and pressed forward step by step: "We not only need a political handshake, but also some practical actions! Mr. Mossadegh, to be honest with you, in order to fight against the evil Soviet government  needs, but our government needs more allies. At the same time, I can tell you frankly that our country has reached consensus with the British government on some issues! Therefore, I am willing to accept all friends who stand on the anti-fascist front. At the same time, I  I can also personally assure you that our government has no interest in Iranian land. I support your proposal to nationalize oil and am willing to help you realize it. The oil and mineral agreements reached by our government and King Pahlavi have also been complied with.  This principle. Just like Saudi Arabia, as long as the loan is repaid, most of the shares in the oil and mineral agreement will be automatically transferred to your government, building the country and helping more people escape poverty."Mossadegh was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the worse!  What made him happiest was that Yang Qiu had no intention of blocking the major obstacle of oil nationalization!  So there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he immediately leaned forward and asked hastily: "Your Excellency, do you have any suggestions?"

    Seeing this action, Yang Qiu knew that he had taken the bait.  Stand up and take two steps: "First, you need to publicly state your position and let the entire imam recognize the legal status of King Pahlavi. At the same time, national and government reforms must abandon radical methods and adopt a gradual and moderate approach!"  At this point, our government is willing to provide all-round help! Only in this way can I persuade King Pahlavi to continue negotiations with you. Secondly, our government has signed a petroleum yuan settlement agreement with the Saudi government and is in the process of negotiating with Doha and Doha.  The sheikhs of Western Oman and other places signed such agreements. If I support your oil nationalization, then I hope you will also support the adoption of the yuan as the only currency for oil settlement in Asia! Finally, you must act, and some people need to be sacrificed to tell the Iranian people  And the world, you were completely coerced and misled about what happened before!¡±

    Mossadegh had no objection to the first two points, but he had a hard time with the last point.  Just as he was about to ask what he meant, Bai Chongxi, who was standing next to him, already reminded him: "Mr. Mossadegh, I heard that the Kurds began to collude with the Soviet Union many years ago. Is this true?"

    Mossadegh¡¯s eyes lit up (To be continued)
