Chapter 318 The opportunity to plant a nail in the Zhongsha area has come
Jiang Hua has been looking for an opportunity to plant a stake in the Zhongsha region.
And now this opportunity has finally come.
Salih Khan of the Pahlavi Dynasty of Persia secretly sent special envoys to contact the ancient country through the Germanic country.
The reason why they had to contact Germany was mainly because England was keeping a close eye on them.
If the old King Salihan sent a special envoy to contact the ancient country directly, then England would get the news soon.
With the previous experience of Siam, they would definitely take action against the Pahlavi royal family without hesitation.
But it would be different if the connection was made through Germany.
Persia itself has a deep affection for the Germanic countries.
They have also been seeking protection from the Germanic countries.
Unfortunately, the Germans were blocked in Europe by Britain, France and Russia, and were unable to receive any effective protection.
They want to protect but are powerless.
The changes in Siam at this time gave the old King Salihan hope of regaining freedom from British control.
Since Germany is unreliable, let's find a new big brother.
Considering that the Germanic countries imported a large number of military weapons from the ancient countries, it was entirely possible to seek help from the ancient countries.
What's more, the ancient country is not far away from them, it is just separated by a country.
This country is the famous graveyard of empires.
Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, but the ancient country not far away can help them resolve the crisis and join the ASEAN Trade Organization to seek protection from major powers.
Although the old king was not sure whether he could live a good life by following the ancient country, it was still better than being exploited by the English.
At least the ancient country did not colonize Shan State, Nanyang, Goryeo and Siam.
The three countries that first joined the ancient country even developed quite well.
Especially the Nanyang Republic, which has the largest population and the richest resources.
With the help of the ancient country, industry has even developed.
For example, a large steel smelting base with an annual output of one million tons of steel was built on the island of Java.
They also established a large joint venture with the Ancient Power Energy Group and solved the electricity problem with the help of the Ancient Country.
Nanyang has also become the best developed country in the Nanyang region.
With a role model here, the old king naturally knew how to choose.
Jiang Hua looked at the information about Persia on the table and fell into deep thought.
Persia is a semi-colonial country with three competing forces.
They are England, Tsarist Russia and Germany.
England has deep interests in Persia, the most important of which is oil resources.
They controlled all the oil fields in Persia, and large amounts of extracted oil were shipped back to England in shiploads.
But this has nothing to do with Persia.
It cannot be said that there is no connection at all. England still gave a symbolic amount of profit to the Persian government, a total of 16% of the net profit.
Later, there was another disturbance in Persia, and England had to provide Persia with 75 pounds of profits every year.
Because they have no idea how much reserves their Maskid Suleiman oil field has.
England has always kept strict secrets from the Persians, such as oil reserves and oil distribution.
As for Tsarist Russia, it was almost driven out of Persia by England, so there was no need to worry.
As for the Germanic country, it only had industrial and economic cooperation with Persia.
Due to England's obstruction, they did not carry out in-depth cooperation.
Therefore, it is only necessary to attack the British forces in Persia, and at the same time take back control of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in Persia.
He was not very clear about how much oil Persia had, but he knew that Persia had very rich oil resources and a very important strategic location.
However, if they want to take back the Anglo-Iranian oil, they will definitely be counterattacked by England, and I am afraid that a big fight in Persia is inevitable this time.
But Jiang Hua didn't mind.
It is just a good opportunity to show the ancient country’s military power to many countries in China and Saudi Arabia.
As long as they are willing to come for refuge, the ancient country can help them rescue themselves from the hands of England.
"Let He Yujie go to Persia in person, in the name of visiting King Salihan."
If you're going, go openly and let the whole world know.
When the ancient Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it would visit Persia and pay a state visit to the Persian King Salihan, it really touched the sensitive nerves of England.
The highest institution of England in the Black Sea and China-Saudi Arabia region is the China-Saudi Arabia Command.
Its main responsibility is to command the British navy, army and air force to protect their interests in the Black Sea and Central Asia regions. Its headquarters is located in the capital of ancient Egypt.
"General, this is a telegram from Prime Minister Carlson."
The commander of the China-Sand Command was Royal Army General Nicholas Nelson, a very rigorous and stubborn old man.
Nelson took the telegram and read it carefully, then frowned.
It was a long time before he put down the telegram.
"Do the ancients want to replicate their Siamese actions in Persia?"
The content of the telegram was very simple: Persia must not be lost and must be defended at all costs.
They not only have a lot of interests in Persia.
At the same time, Persia was also an important land route for them to reach the White Elephant Colony.
If the ancient country were to occupy this place again, then the ancient country, Shan country and Persia would form a three-sided siege on the White Elephant colony.
This is a situation they absolutely cannot allow, even at the cost of a fight.
Admiral Nelson also knew the country's determination through the wording of the telegram.
“I think we need to take our troops to Zhongsha.
Get me a plane to Babylon.
Mind you, I don't want any planes from the Old Country, I hate this country."
The ancient country's COMAC is currently a global aviation manufacturing giant, occupying more than 70% of the global civil aviation market.
This is a market worth billions of dollars.
It provides hundreds of millions of dollars in net profit to COMAC every year, and its revenue exceeds 10 billion US dollars each year, and this figure continues to rise.
As General Nelson headed for Babylon, which borders Persia, the three British armies in the Black Sea and Central Asia regions began to move and gathered towards Babylon.
Admiral Nelson prepared to launch a surprise attack on Persia, quickly occupying Persia and leaving no chance for the ancient country.
They won't make the same mistake they did with Siam again.
However, Admiral Nelson did not know that more than one military reconnaissance satellite passed over the Zhongsha area every two hours.
The photos taken are also continuously transmitted back to the ground station via communication relay satellites.
You no longer need to recycle the photo cabin to see the photos you took as before.
With this type of recovery method, the information delay is at least several days or even more than ten days.
“President, England is assembling troops in the Babylon region of Zhongsha.
There's been no activity from the White Elephant Kingdom."
Jiang Hua took the information handed to him by Zheng Yaoxian and started reading it.
"It seems the English can't help but take action. This gives us an opportunity to intervene."
Looking at the British armored forces assembled in the yellow sand, Jiang Hua chuckled.
"Send these photos to our Foreign Minister He. I think no matter how much we say, it will not be as convincing as these photos."
Persia, with its capital at Ray.
Ray is a city built from scratch by the old king Salihan.
In the early 20s, the palace, squares, castles, and fortresses of Rye were no longer suitable for the modern development of the city.
Salihan decisively destroyed these buildings and built the current modern urban city on the original site.
When the world's aviation industry was developing rapidly under the impetus of the ancient country.
As a connecting point between East Asia and Europe, Persia has also become an important air transportation hub, and many international flights choose to land in Rye.
Therefore, Salihan directly built a new airport and named it Salihan International Airport.
The construction party was the Germans.
The government plane that He Yujie was on landed at Salihan International Airport.
When the special plane landed at the airport, it attracted widespread attention.
Because the engines installed on both sides of the wings of this special plane no longer have propellers, but are replaced by four turbojet engines.
This special plane is the domestically produced version of the Boeing 707-120 jet airliner.
It is also the first jet airliner that the ancient country's COMAC Group is preparing to launch this year, code-named A919-100.
The A919 passenger aircraft is obviously larger than the A-909 super airliner parked at the airport.
This was also the jet's debut abroad.
The old king Salihan, who came to the airport in person to greet He Yujie, was deeply attracted by this jet airliner.
At this time, I also understand more clearly the value of joining the ancient country.
It seems to have more prospects than joining the Germanic country.
After some greetings, under the leadership of Salihan, we attended the dinner to welcome He Yujie.
It was not until 10 a.m. the next day that the two sides began their first formal meeting.
"King Salihan, we have received your request.
Our president has also agreed to Persia's request to join the ASEAN Trade Organization and obtain military protection from the ancient country.
But before we talk about the official collaboration, I think I need to show you two things.”
After saying that, He Yujie took out the first stack of information from his briefcase, which was still printed in Persian.
When Salihan saw the big words printed on the front of the document, his pupils began to tremble.
[Revenue and production of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company over the years]
Upon seeing this, King Salihan quickly flipped through the pages, his hands trembling slightly.
When he saw the data above, his chest began to heave violently and his eyes turned red.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company produced a total of 38 million tons of oil in 675 years.
675 million tons of oil is roughly equivalent to 5000 million barrels of oil.
At the current price of $2 per barrel of oil, this means that the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company's revenue last year reached over $ million.
When King Salihan thought of the millions of dollars in profits that England had handed over, he became furious.
It's just too much bullying.
No wonder they kept it secret from them, it turned out to be to conceal revenue and profits.
Oil is being extracted on their land, the British eat meat with big mouthfuls, but they just drink soup. No one would feel balanced in their mentality if they were in their place.
"Bastards! They are simply robbers."
