Vol 2 Chapter 671: Threatening Mossadegh

As for the Mosaddegh government, there are naturally many opinions in later generations according to different positions.

Those who have a favorable opinion of the United States believe that the Mossadegh government is a powerful minister who participated in the overthrow of Pahlavi's father earlier. I was relying on the emperor to make the princes, and in 1953 there was a pro-Soviet tendency, which should be overthrown.

The Soviet-biased argument believes that the United States is the first time to overthrow the government of a major regional power, exposing the essence of American imperialism. Previously, the United States had only acted on some banana republics. The coup in Iran showed that the United States began to dictate the affairs of the Eurasian continent and get rid of it. One last remnant of isolationism.

Alan Wilson did not believe in either of these two statements. Mosaddegh himself was related to the King of Pahlavi. In other words, Mosaddegh himself was part of the royal family. According to the monarchy, he should be regarded as a powerful minister, but it is hard to believe that he will be pro-Soviet if he ignores objective facts.

According to history, Alan Wilson learned that this Anglo-Iranian disagreement eventually evolved into the overthrow of the Mosaddegh regime by Britain and the United States. But Britain did not win, and could even be said to be a loser.

Because after Britain and the United States supported Pahlavi, Pahlavi was obviously more inclined to the more powerful United States. Britain's near-monopoly oil interests in Iran are still not preserved.

Considering the current size of the UK and its share of interests in today's world, Alan Wilson can easily conclude that it is serious to be constant and change. Development in an unfavorable direction for the United Kingdom.

Because once chaos occurs, Britain's current strength cannot compete with the United States and the Soviet Union in the chaos. If you encounter one, you will be hanged and beaten, not to mention that the current pattern in Iran is that all three are involved.

At the Potsdam Conference, Alan Wilson said bitterly to Furtseva that if they turned their face in Iran, the United Kingdom would be out of the game, but the Soviet Union would not want to gain any benefits. The United States had the Soviet Union superior in every aspect.

Now is not 1945, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom have successfully tested nuclear weapons, and the pattern of Iran is still all three.

This situation is beneficial to Britain, which has become the weakest link of imperialism. Once the United Kingdom is driven out, the vacuum will be filled by the United States and the Soviet Union, but with nuclear weapons, it is still unknown whether the Soviet Union will easily surrender. What's more, the United States is still involved in Berlin in Europe and the peninsula in the Far East.

In view of this, this time the United States finally chose to support Britain in the context of the Berlin crisis and the Korean War.

Alan Wilson believes that Mosaddegh should have known that the United States would not express support for Iran on this matter.

In front of the negotiation building in the center of Basra, the flags of the United Kingdom and Iran were fluttering high. Not long after, a convoy appeared on the road. After half a minute, the convoy stayed in the square in front of the building. Mossadegh and the accompanying diplomats got off the car. He stood in front of the building for a long time, then walked in.

The two flags raised side by side swayed in the breeze, signaling that this time the problem of allocating oil profits had begun.

Alan Wilson, clad in arabesque robes, had in front of him diplomatic announcements about France, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium expressing their understanding of the conflict to Britain. The fingers tapped lightly until the conference room door was pushed open.

Mosaddegh was shocked when he came in. Among a group of British suits, the person in the middle was wearing traditional Arabian robes and looked at each other, which made Mosaddegh himself a little embarrassed, because as the Prime Minister of Iran, Mossadegh was at this time. is wearing a suit.

Although he was surprised by Alan Wilson's performance of doing as the custom, Mossadegh immediately adjusted his mentality.

Amidst the faint sound of the ceiling fan overhead, Alan Wilson spoke first, expressing his welcome to Mosaddegh and his party, "Hello, Dear Mosaddegh, the friendship between Britain and Iraq has a long history, and the two countries were in the same place during World War I and World War II. As a partner in the camp, the UK has always attached great importance to the status of Iran in modern times. Iran is a powerhouse in the Middle East with a history of 5,000 years. Its profound history is dazzling. The political, cultural and military cooperation between the two countries has made great progress , some disagreements should sit down and talk, instead of ending up in a mess, isn't it?"

"It's not good for our two countries if we have to make trouble to the end, especially in today's world."

"Mr. Allen, your eloquence is very shocking." Mosaddeh listened to a series of words, looked at Allen Wilson's Arabian robe and said with a smile, "After saying so much, you Don't you think that the distribution of oil benefits today is extremely unfair to Iran?"

"Of course I'm well aware of this." Alan Wilson lifted his turban, almost shamelessly frank, making Mosadegh, who wanted to continue, speechless. He never dreamed that Alan Wilson would be so frank. Happy to admit it.

After Alan Wilson finished saying these words, there was a strange silence in the entire conference room. It's not just that the Iranians don't know what to say, even Makins is shocked. Even if it's true, you can't say it.

Alan Wilson took out a stack of diplomatic documents, and read one copy, which was still in front of Mossadegh, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands, and finally said, "Dear Prime Minister Mossadegh, you want to see the United States. Well, it may take two days, and the official document from Washington has not arrived yet."

Alan Wilson's point is very simple. Given that the United States is deeply involved in the Korean War and the Berlin crisis in the same period requires the help of the United Kingdom, it is unlikely that the United States will not be in the same position as the United Kingdom at this time.

"The current disagreement over oil profits has not had an impact on the British mainland. If possible, the UK could block Iran for ten years. The Royal Navy may not be like a few decades ago, and the world can fight whoever it wants. But Iran is still within the capabilities of the Royal Navy."

Alan Wilson said with a relaxed smile, "So, sometimes the world still doesn't change. Weak countries don't necessarily get beaten, but that's just today. I don't want to beat you. I really want to tear my face in the end, and Iran is caught in political turmoil. If it becomes the current North Korea or Vietnam, and then becomes Indonesia, the real losers are you.”

"The bullying of imperialism is most vividly displayed by you British people." As soon as Alan Wilson finished speaking, the Iranian diplomats around Mossadegh began to criticize.

The British side retorted. For a while, the conference room was extremely noisy, and the atmosphere on both sides reached freezing point.

"Am I wrong? Of course the oil belongs to Iran, but the market does not belong to Iran." Alan Wilson ignored the accusations of the Iranians and took out a statistical data, still in front of Mossadegh, "Data doesn't lie."

Since the UK announced a blockade of Iran, buyers of oil from refineries previously controlled by the UK have also been threatened with legal action by the UK government, and the UK has also reached a consensus with its close ties to international oil companies not to fill Anglo-Iranian oil companies. The void left has brought Iran's oil industry to a standstill, with oil production plummeting by 70 percent.

The Abadan crisis has reduced Iran's oil earnings to almost zero, putting pressure on Mosaddegh's promised domestic reforms. At the same time, BP and Saudi Aramco increased oil production in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq to make up for the reduction in Iranian oil production, so there was no impact on the UK.

In later generations, the United States has always resorted to sanctions and blockades. In this era, the United Kingdom can also play. Just a word from the United Kingdom can let Iran experience the sanctions days in the 21st century in advance.

"Then there is no need for us to talk. I will appeal to the United Nations." Mossadegh said firmly.

"It seems that we have to discuss with the Americans about launching a coup d'etat." Alan Wilson turned back and seriously discussed with Markins next to him, "If the United States does not agree, we will talk to the Soviets to restore the North-South relationship of the year. Divide and conquer. It’s not that there is no division. I believe that the surrounding area of ​​the Black Sea in the north should be able to satisfy the appetite of the Soviet Union.”

"If we can do this, it would be the best." Makins nodded solemnly, "Although there have been disagreements in recent years, we can still talk to Moscow on this matter, and the Berlin How about a crisis as a bargaining chip?"

"I think it's very good. If you can exchange peace in Europe, it's nothing to sacrifice the Middle East." Alan Wilson clapped his hands and agreed, "After all, compared with Europe, what are the rest of the world's countries?"

"I don't believe that the Americans would watch Britain do this." Mosaddegh knew that this was a very straightforward threat, but he counter-threat, "You should know what it means for the Soviet Union to come in."

"I only know that Iran is going to nationalize the Anglo-Iran Oil Company now!" Alan Wilson said blankly, "What's the difference between this and confiscation? If the UK doesn't say a word about this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it's nothing else. The country can do this? If the UK finds a way to overthrow your government, even if it loses Iran’s oil share, we can give an account to the country. Even if it dies, it can also lead Iran to die together.”

"The key question is that both Iraq and Saudi Arabia account for half of the oil profits. You, Iran, are better off, and you will confiscate them when you come up. Do you think Britain's nuclear weapons won't explode?"

In the end, Alan Wilson has spoken very seriously, directly reflecting his consistent style, bringing out nuclear blackmail and attacking the third world.

This is the first time the UK has issued nuclear blackmail since the successful nuclear test, targeting the Iranian Prime Minister in front of him.

Mossadegh wanted to leave with a swirl of his sleeves, but the European countries scattered on the table supported his position, and the fact that Iran was currently in a blockade did not allow him to do so.

He can ignore nuclear blackmail, but the threat of a coup d'état has been expressed by the other side, which cannot be ignored.

He didn't leave the first time, which also made Alan Wilson relieved. He knew that Wang's extreme pressure really tested people's psychology. He was obviously guilty of being a thief.

But fortunately, at least he now knows that Mosaddegh still has scruples, and he didn't leave directly, which proved this.
