Chapter 1374 Persia

1921 was another difficult year for Russia. The sudden sanctions and military containment instantly made the situation on the European continent tense.

The Russian Labor Party's intelligence acquisition ability was very outstanding. When the imperialist countries in the world were still in meetings, the German Labor Party had already sent part of the meeting content to Moscow.

The conspiracy of the imperialist countries against Russia attracted the attention of Vladimir and other senior Russian Labor Party leaders.

Three days later, in Moscow, Vladimir, the leader of the Russian Labor Party, said to the senior members of the Labor Party: "With the end of the French flu, the threat of imperialism to our working class to form a country has returned."

"But don't be afraid, this just shows that imperialism is afraid of our new Russia. In the future, as long as we can unite all forces to deal with the imperialist encirclement and interception, it will be as easy as defeating the domestic white bandits and other corrupt forces of the former Tsarist Russia."

"At the same time, we should also actively mobilize the people of Ukraine and Poland to prepare for the invasion of imperialist countries..."

Vladimir is obviously a tough leader of the Labor Party, so in the face of the imperialist encirclement and suppression, he will not be frightened, but will think about counterattacking imperialism.

Because of the development of the world situation, the situation of the Russian Labor Party is now better than in the past. Even if the land ceded is more than in the past, due to the contradictions of imperialist countries, this has given the Russian Labor Party a good opportunity for development.

Vladimir's new economic policy was also launched earlier than in his previous life, and it has achieved greater results. Now the support rate of the Russian Labor Party among the people in Russia is unprecedentedly high.

The new economic policy is actually not in line with the ideas of many members of the Labor Party, but Vladimir is a flexible leader. After discovering and studying Russia's economic problems, he chose to proceed from reality to consolidate the stability of the state power.

In the redistribution of Russian society, the reorganization of resources, and the relatively relaxed social environment, the Russian economy recovered to a certain extent in 1919. By 1920, the Russian economy entered a stage of rapid development and quickly repaired the trauma left by the war.

If it were in the previous life, Vladimir's policies would probably be difficult to achieve such results, but under the interference of East Africa on the world process, Russia obtained a rare rest period. While other European countries were still continuing the First World War, Russia was already building and restoring its own country.

Under these favorable conditions, it would be difficult for Russia not to recover and develop in 1920.

Afterwards, Vladimir began to assign tasks: "Continue to increase support for organizations in Ukraine, Poland and other regions, and strive to expand our influence in Eastern Europe before the imperialists have assembled."

"Wait until the right time to overthrow the puppet governments supported by imperialism in Ukraine, Poland and other regions in one fell swoop and recover these lost territories."

"At the same time, in view of the destruction of European social movements by countries such as Britain, France, Germany and Austria, we should also change direction and start a new round of armed struggle from other weak links in Europe as a new starting point."

"For example, places like Spain, Portugal and Italy, where the economy is in trouble and people's livelihood is exhausted, or Serbia and Greece, which have been hit hard by the war, as well as the Far East Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Persia, India and other regions, should also be paid attention to."

"We can't wait for imperialism to take action, but should take action first and lead the imperialist countries by the nose, so as to achieve the victory of the working class in Europe and even the world on the basis of Russia's victory..."

So, in February 1921.

The new Russian government, which had just solved domestic stability and domestic economic problems, started the first stage of confrontation with imperialist countries.

At the same time, countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Austria, East Africa, the United States, and Japan are also forming alliances, contributing money and effort to support countries such as Ukraine and Poland to compete with Russia.

…

In March 1921.

The East African delegation arrived in Tehran, the capital of Persia.

The division of labor within the imperialist group is clear. European countries are mainly responsible for interfering in Russia in the European direction, while East Africa is responsible for the Persian direction. As for the Ottoman Empire, due to the First World War, its international status has been greatly improved, and it has become a political force that can deal with Russia alone.

And as Russia's sworn enemy, the Ottoman Empire has rich experience in dealing with Russia compared to other countries.

In comparison, Persia is not good enough, and as for Persia, according to the principle of proximity, the main responsible countries are East Africa and Britain.

Although Britain is afraid of the expansion of East Africa's influence in the Middle East and Central Asia, facing the more aggressive Russians, it can only let East Africa enter Persia, which can be regarded as the lesser of two evils.

Moreover, during World War I, although East Africa often made small moves in the Middle East, Central Asia, and even South Asia, it was always within the range that Britain could tolerate.

This shows to a certain extent that East Africa still attaches great importance to international rules, although the maker of these international rules was originally Britain.

Compared with East Africa, which is more rule-abiding, the Russian Labor Party is obviously the real concern of Britain at the moment, especially its powerful ideological and comprehension weapons. Once exported to India, it is very likely to disintegrate the foundation of Britain's rule in an instant.

The basis for the cooperation between Britain and East Africa is the division of power in the Indian Ocean between the two countries during World War I. At that time, East Africa and Britain had clearly defined their respective spheres of influence in the Indian Ocean at the current stage.

Regarding the semi-independent country of Persia, the agreement reached between East Africa and Britain at the beginning was that neither country would take further action in Persia.

Britain originally had a strong influence on Persia, which was equivalent to East Africa tacitly accepting Britain's leading role in Persia.

However, in order to deal with the Russian Labor Party, which continued to export ideology to the surrounding areas, Britain had to invite wolves into the house and plan East Africa to check and balance the Russian Labor Party.

"Your Majesty King Ahmed, and everyone in the Kingdom of Persia, I think everyone should be clear about what is happening in Russia. If you continue to fight internally, then there is no doubt that the final result can only be the same as the Russian Tsarist government, and be executed by the Persian people."

"So our attitude in the UK is that the struggle within Persia must stop at the current stage, and everyone should take dealing with Russia as the main task at this stage. If someone takes advantage of this time and has no sense of the overall situation, then we don't mind helping Persia get rid of the hidden "Labor Party" elements."

Major General Gabriel, who will be the head of the East African Diplomatic Mission and the future head of the East African Military Advisory Group to Persia, announced to the senior officials of the Persian government in an imposing manner.

For the current Persian government, East Africa and Britain do not even want to negotiate with them, but directly use intimidation and deterrence to make them recognize their position and what they should do.

And the Persians did not dare to complain at all in the face of this murderous East African officer.

Nothing else, as a new force that has risen in the Indian Ocean in recent years, East Africa can be said to have made great military achievements, and has eliminated more than a dozen countries and regions.

Just last year, East Africa had just eliminated the remaining resistance forces entrenched in northeastern Somalia, and the year before, East Africa had set off a terrible massacre in the Isthmus of Kra in the former Siam.

It can be exaggerated to say that in the first twenty years of the 20th century, East Africa changed the color of the entire Indian Ocean.

The adverse effects caused by it are worse than those of the old colonial predecessors such as Portugal, Spain, France, and Britain.

The nature is also worse. The main purpose of other colonizers is to make money, while East Africa is implementing a complete policy of national extinction.

Therefore, East Africa can play a role in stopping children from crying at night in the Indian Ocean. The arrival of East Africans is the most terrifying synonym for many countries along the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

In this way, even the British and Russians who were considered ferocious by the Persian monarchs and ministers in the past have become kind and benevolent, of course, the Russian Labor Party is obviously not counted now.

Compared with East Africa, Russia is now more intimidating to Persia, especially for the ruling class of Persia, the Russian Labor Party is specifically targeting people like them.

Ahmed, the king of the Qajar dynasty, said to the butcher Kabril tremblingly: "Dear East African envoy, I wonder how we should cooperate with your country and the British government's actions?"

The ruling dynasty of Persia today is called the Lazar dynasty. It was the establishment of this dynasty that made Tehran the capital of Persia.

The Qajar dynasty was actually a foreign rule for Persia. King Ahmed's ancestors were actually from the Turkic tribe in the north. The founder of the Lazar dynasty, Agha Mohammad Khan, chose Tehran as the capital because Tehran was close to his traditional tribal territory.

Qajar was also the name of the Turkic tribe at the time, so the official name of Persia today is the Lazar dynasty, but outsiders still call it Persia.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Facing King Ahmed's inquiry, Major General Kabril showed a kind expression and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. We in East Africa have good intentions towards the Qajar royal family. This time, our East Africans came to Persia for the fundamental purpose of dealing with the cancer and pregnancy of Russia in the world."

For King Ahmed, the reason why Kabril's attitude is different is mainly because this "benevolent monarch" is a relatively "inaction" monarch.

Even many Persians think that he is relatively weak, and a small number of his supporters only cover up that he is not interested in government affairs.

But it is precisely such people who are more likely to be valued by the East African government. After all, East Africa, as the main leading country in the Indian Ocean region today, does not want Persia to have a capable monarch.

Historically, the Pahlavi dynasty that overthrew the Lazar dynasty did have many actions, but in the end it did not end well.

East Africa hopes that Persia can maintain the status quo, that is, the current half-dead state, and even better, it can maintain its monarchy.

In the Indian Ocean, there are four countries that can be called great powers. The first is East Africa, followed by Britain based in India, followed by the Ottoman Empire, and finally Persia.

Although Persia is not strong enough to be on par with the above three countries, even the pseudo-power of the Ottoman Empire cannot touch it.

However, Persia's potential cannot be ignored. In its long history, it has always been a political force that cannot be ignored in the Indian Ocean region.

Although, in terms of Persia's environment, it is very difficult to develop in modern times, but even if there is a possibility, East Africa does not allow forces around the Indian Ocean that can threaten East Africa's hegemony.

However, at present, Persia's threat to East Africa is far less than that of Britain and the Ottoman Empire, so it is worthwhile for East Africa to support Persia appropriately.

After the decline of Britain and the Ottoman Empire, it will be the turn of Persia and other Indian Ocean countries.

Kabril said: "Our purpose this time is very clear, that is to deal with the Russians, and the emergence of the Russian Labor Party not only inherited the original Russian strong military strength, but also brought ideological weapons."

"Therefore, our current help to Persia mainly involves three levels. The first is military assistance. We will help His Majesty the King train a reliable and elite force."

"Secondly, we will help Persia with economic construction to stabilize the current turmoil in Persia."

"Finally, it is to help your country prevent Russia from infiltrating Persia through various means such as public opinion."

Kabril's words not only failed to appease Ahmed, but made him worried.

After all, the three points mentioned by Kabril can be explained by another set of words: first, East Africa must control the army of Persia, second, control the economy of Persia, and third, control the state machinery such as public opinion.

In this way, wouldn't Persia become a puppet of East Africa completely? Of course, if you think about it carefully, it is unlikely, after all, there are still British people in Persia.

Therefore, King Ahmed did not dare to directly refute Kabril's "good intentions", but reminded: "General Kabril, I wonder if you have reached a consensus with the British on these issues?"

General Kabril said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, what we are going to do in East Africa does not conflict with the British. We have reached an agreement with the British, that is, in terms of the attitude towards Russia, both sides have given up prejudices and contradictions, and have allocated relevant areas to prepare."

Kabril's subtext is that East Africa has actually re-divided the sphere of influence of the two countries in Persia with Britain.

Of course, East Africa obviously cannot kill Persia, an ancient country, as it did with the natives of Southeast Asia or Somalia.

The international community can condone East Africa's massacre of uncivilized natives, essentially because their own level of civilization is too low to be accepted by the international community.

Just like the Zulus who were wiped out by East Africa, most Europeans have never heard of them. If it is Persia, it will be different. If Persia is wiped out by a certain country, it will cause waves not only in the Middle East, but also in the entire Mediterranean and Indian Ocean coast.

After all, Persia may be famous, especially for Europe, ancient Persia even affected the course of European history.

This time, East Africa's positioning of Persia is mainly economic colonization. With the expansion of East Africa in the Indian Ocean region in the first 20 years and the end of the European war, open colonial expansion is no longer feasible.

According to the new agreement between East Africa and the British government, East Africa inherited the original Russian sphere of influence in Persia, including the Persian capital of Tehran in the north, while most of the east and south still belong to the British sphere of influence.
