British civil servant

"I don't know, and I don't know anything about Iran." Alan Wilson shrugged. Even if he wasn't the best-knowing person in the world, he was one of the best-knowing people.He also knew that most of the Iranians working in Germany were supporters of Pahlavi.

"Let's continue talking about oil cooperation. India is a country that lacks oil resources, and its huge population is destined to have a great demand for oil resources. Unless Indians live forever hundreds of years ago, but I think This is unrealistic, we in the UK have an idea to jointly operate with the Kingdom of Iraq for influence in India..."

Alan Wilson talked eloquently, he was appeasing Iraq, in fact smaller countries, such as Kuwait and other emirates, need India to provide a market more.

"Indians..." Princess Badiya's expression remained unchanged. He had a bad impression of Indians. Who would have made Indian academics question the glorious history of Sumer and Babylon?

The Kingdom of Iraq is also proud of its history as the center of world civilization.No one wants other countries to make irresponsible remarks about the civilization of their motherland, but Princess Badia doesn't know that the source of all this is right in front of her.

"The Soviet embassy has been surrounded by supporters who support Pahlavi. Now who are we supporting, restore Pahlavi's real monarchy or manage Iran in a military government model?"

At the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Major McDick asked Kermit Roosevelt what the U.S. thought. British and American relations."

Major McCordick actually didn't care at all whether the relationship between Iran and Britain was good or bad, and it was impossible for it to be worse than it is now.Saying that is just putting pressure on Kermit Roosevelt.

"Wait a minute, we are in contact with the Iranian military, and there will be news soon." Kermit Roosevelt reassured Major McCordick. He couldn't remain calm until now, but he could only wait for the news.

At the same time, the Iranian parliament is also in the midst of people's voices. The chaotic situation in Tehran has kept Mossadegh's political opponents from staying silent and attacked Mossadegh. "We have been in a blockade for such a long time, and many people are I am very dissatisfied with this, do you want to destroy the people's livelihood in Iran in one breath?"

"You're right. Although the UK has signed the memorandum, there are no actual constraints on the memorandum. The UK can continue to drag it on. Which country do we have to help? The countries at the Basra Conference are already major powers in the world today. Who will stand? On the Iranian side?"

"Look outside, there are thousands of people outside parliament demanding an explanation. If you're not careful, it's a riot."

One after another, people stood up and opened their mouths to put pressure on Mossadegh to make the formerly popular prime minister think of a way.

"The king's representative is persuading the demonstrators to leave the parliament!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the parliament.

Accompanied by this voice, the members of the parliament looked over, and then their expressions relaxed, and they recognized the court ministers of the palace.

"His Majesty the King has no intention of interfering with the running of the Parliament. He just did what a king should do. Appease the people to ensure the safety of the capital, but I still hope that the Prime Minister can say something to appease the citizens who are in trouble."

When the court minister was speaking, his eyes swept over the members of the council, and stopped for a while on a few people. These people were all the councilors who had just stood up to attack Mossadegh.

While the court minister came to the parliament to express his goodwill, another American executor, Donald Wilbur, met Pahlavi in ​​the palace, "Iranians are unhappy with the increasingly difficult life, as long as your majesty orders the removal of Mossadegh. The British and The United States will support you, and if there is no response, Iran will become a republic sooner or later."

Pahlavi was silent, he was persuaded, Mossadegh did have a history of opposing the monarch, and he opposed his father's establishment of the kingdom at the beginning.

That was more than 30 years ago, when members of the Iranian parliament who supported Reza Shah advocated legislation to dissolve the Qajar dynasty and make Reza Shah the new king.Mosaddegh voted against Reza Shah's self-appointment as king, arguing that it subverted Iran's constitution.

Speaking in Parliament, he praised Reza Khan for his political achievements and called on Reza Khan to respect the constitution and stay loyal to the post of prime minister instead of becoming Shah.However, Mosaddegh's opinions were not recognized by other members of parliament. The parliament deposed Kajar, and Reza Khan became the new king of the Persian Kingdom. He was also the first monarch of the Pahlavi Dynasty.

Mossadegh has a history of opposing the royal family, and Mossadegh also has another identity, that is, a member of the royal family, but he is a member of the royal family of the Qajar dynasty, and his wife is the princess of the previous dynasty.

"London and Washington can guarantee that I will take back my power? What do the Soviets think?" Pahlavi is still worried about the reaction of the Soviet Union. His father's previous king was a Cossack, and he knows the Soviet Union too well.

"Not only support the king to take back power, but also support the king to eliminate some national forces that are malicious to Iran." Donald Wilbur vowed, "The king does not have to worry about the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union cannot invade a sovereign country. , to do so would certainly arouse the hostility of the free world."

"Okay!" Pahlavi greeted the court minister and asked him to go again to Mosadegh's mansion. He hoped that Mossadegh could resign and calm the hidden opposition in the country on the grounds that the religious leader was assassinated and killed.

After Major McDick collected the news, he again informed Alan Wilson of the latest situation by telegram.

"Do you want to be so naive?" Alan Wilson read the telegram with a tired face. He now understands why Pahlavi was overthrown in the 70s. Indecision is born.

Usually he looks decisive in killing and attacking, but when it comes to real swords and guns that need to be bold, he starts to look forward and backward.

Alan Wilson, who was about to take a break, directly called back, "When is this, are you still worried about the impact? We also need to take into account the so-called public opinion and pass a formal decree to make Mossadegh resign by himself?"

Many historical facts throughout the ages have proved that such a monarch will not end well. It seems that Pahlavi is destined to be ousted in the end.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The more it is at this time, the more courageous it is to show, isn't revolution a dinner treat?This sentence may not be suitable for Iran, but the meaning is the same, especially at this time, what if Mossadegh does not recognize it?What if Mossadegh introduces the Soviet Union to intervene?

Although Mossadegh's pro-Soviet relationship was a scapegoat, who said it couldn't become a reality?Castro was not pro-Soviet at first, but now he is also following the Soviet Union.

Major McCordick soon received a telegram from Basra. In the telegram, Alan Wilson expressed his worries about long nights and dreams, and his dissatisfaction with Pahlavi's inhumanity.

After going to the American embassy and meeting Kermit Roosevelt, McCordick expressed British concerns.

"My friend, maybe your person in charge is not an easy person to get along with." Kermit Roosevelt laughed and asked if Alan Wilson was a difficult person to get along with.

"That's not the case. Sir Wilson is an elegant and polite person. After he took charge of the intelligence department, he clarified many benefits and won more funds. It also shows that he is not a professional intelligence officer and can only provide support in terms of remuneration. .”

McCordick categorically denied it, saying in a defensive tone, "In fact, among the public servants, he is widely respected."

People in the intelligence department can get help wherever there is Mountbatten Group's industry, and they can stay with their bags when traveling without spending money. This is regarded as the Mountbatten Group's support for the country's secret front.

When McCordick and his party were in Basra, it cost nothing, all of which the intelligence community appreciated.

"Britain still feels that it should act quickly. Sir Wilson judged that Mossadegh will not be caught without a fight. What if he, as prime minister, asks the Soviet Union to intervene? This possibility cannot be ruled out. Conversely, the actions of King Pahlavi will make People are surprised."

Kermit Roosevelt remained silent, and felt that Major McCordick's words were very reasonable, but Pahlavi's foresight and inconsistency are not without benefits. This is conducive to being influenced by the United States. He is really a powerful king and may not be against the United States. Bow your head and obey your ears.

"We are almost ready, so that if Mossadegh refuses to obey the king's warrant, we will do it immediately." Kermit Roosevelt assured in a solemn tone that the United States did not put all its hopes on Pahlavi.

In addition to contacting the king, Donald Wilbur is also contacting the head of the royalist party in the military and the senior Shiite clerics to seek support. These two groups are considered by the United States to be the main force to overthrow Mossadegh. Hope, of course, not just Put it on Pahlavi alone.

Kermit Roosevelt is still quite confident that the pro-Soviet People's Party, the Mass Party that supports Mossadegh, and trade union organizations cannot be compared with the 13 Iranian armed forces and the traditional armed tribes that support the Pahlavi.

Of course, he also admitted that the British side was worried about the reaction of the Soviet Union, especially the possibility that Mossadegh would ask the Soviet Union for help.

Asking the Soviet Union for help was almost the last thing the United States wanted to hear after Lumumba in the Congo had done it once.Because Lumumba did it and made it.

Kermit Roosevelt didn't know that the Soviet Union's quick response had something to do with the cultural tsar who was at the top of the Soviet Union.

Without the strong support of the cultural tsar, the Soviet Union could not have reacted so quickly.All this is related to the British gentleman in Basra, Alan Wilson, who is negotiating with the protectorate on the seawater desalination project.

Another day, the royalists who entered Tehran held a city-wide parade to support the king who was excluded in their eyes and to oppose the radical policies of Prime Minister Mossadegh. At the same time, Mossadegh’s supporters also launched a parade. Accusing each other of being foreign agents, not patriots, the skies over Tehran were heavy.

The National Front, the People's Party and the Mass Party who supported Mossadegh were equally powerful. When the two groups met, conflicts erupted immediately, and stones and sticks became weapons for attacking each other.

When Tehran was gradually falling into chaos, at the prime minister's residence, the court minister sent by Pahlavi, with the king's warrant, hoped that Mossadegh could resign. Mossadegh expressed his refusal, and he had already discovered the danger.

Since the blockade by the United Kingdom, there have indeed been opponents of Mossadegh in Iran, but there are also many supporters of him. Although there are protesters, they have always been below a certain level.It will definitely not cause such a big confusion like it is now.

At this time, someone told Mossadegh that the pro-king marchers and demonstrators who supported Mossadegh were impulsive. The whole place was in chaos, some people were wailing, and many people fell into a pool of blood.

When Mossadegh heard the news, he had a bad feeling in his heart, directly detained the court minister, and immediately ordered Tehran's city defense forces to disperse the demonstrators as the prime minister.

After all, Mossadegh was a prime minister with great expectations. Tehran's city defense forces naturally obeyed orders in this chaos, and soon the military appeared in the city.

Pahlavi paid the price for his naivety, and Major McCordick sent Basra the status quo, asking whether to proceed.

"Can Pahlavi control Mossadegh? Chamberlain thought he controlled Hitler." Alan Wilson immediately called back and continued, "Whoever can get the support of the military will win."

When Kermit Roosevelt saw Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran was panicking and was about to go abroad to avoid the limelight before leaving. This appearance really disappointed Kermit Roosevelt. After a short thought After that, he said, "Actually, it's better to go out to avoid the limelight. I suggest going to Italy to wait for the news."

At this time, the king could no longer count on it. If Pahlavi hadn't insisted on trying the power of the king's warrant.According to what the United Kingdom and the United States have said, they will do it directly, and there will be no Mossadegh's current actions.

At this time, Pahlavi was a negative asset for Britain and the United States, and staying in Tehran played more of a negative role.It is better to leave and leave the rest to Britain and the United States.

At the same time, it gave Mossadegh the illusion that the king had left and the situation in Iran was under his own control.

Coincidentally, Pahlavi’s transfer station was set up in Basra, and Alan Wilson was in Basra, directly stopping the special plane of the King of Iran and his party to Italy, allowing the king and his party to stay, and at the same time allowing Pahlavi’s The plane continued to take off.

It didn't take long for Alan Wilson to meet the king who messed up the matter, "Your Majesty, in fact, it is enough to leave Iran to ensure safety. If you run too far, it will not be easy to come back after the overall situation is settled, isn't it?"

"You are?" King Pahlavi didn't interfere much with government affairs when Mosaddegh was in power, and besides, he had never met Allen Wilson.

"Executive Undersecretary of the British Foreign Office has been paying attention to the six-party talks for the past two years." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "At the same time, the United Kingdom is extremely sad that His Majesty the King cannot manage his own country in person. Please rest first, As soon as there is an update, I will let you know directly."

The most urgent task now is whether Mossadegh will directly introduce the Soviet Union. This may take time to test.

After Mossadegh mobilized the city defense forces, along with Pahlavi's departure abroad, the riots in Tehran have subsided.At least the surface has calmed down, and the whole of Iran has returned to the control of Mossadegh.

Even at this time, even Washington expressed doubts about the success of the operation.It is true that in the choice between Iran and the United Kingdom, it is right to choose the United Kingdom.But if it is unsuccessful, Iran may lean towards the Soviet Union and dislike the United States.

In Tehran, Mossadegh's speech is being broadcast on the radio, expressing condolences to more than 600 Iranians who died in the conflict before, "Now that calm has been restored, we have reason to believe that the tragic memory will be diluted..."

"Some voices worry that once it is found that the United States is instigating behind the scenes, the relationship between the two countries will become very bad. But the director resisted the pressure." Kermit Roosevelt said to McCordick, "But I think that Pahlavi Leaving is beneficial to us, at least now Mossadegh feels that he has controlled the situation, so there is no need to worry about the Soviet Union intervening."

On this day, the Soviet Union's TASS news agency did express concern about the situation in Iran, but quickly praised Mossadegh for its sophisticated handling.

"Can it go on?" Even McCordick wasn't confident now.

"The tank divisions stationed outside the city have agreed to help us." Kermit Roosevelt revealed the news. "In the end, we still have to rely on the army to solve the problem. Sometimes public opinion doesn't matter."

Just when the conflict was over and Mossadegh was considered the victor, royalists from the Iranian military entered.

General Zahedi declared that Mossadegh was inescapably responsible for the clashes that killed more than 600 people and should be investigated by the Kingdom's courts.

Almost at the same time, the Iranian armored division equipped with Sherman tanks entered the urban area of ​​Tehran. The coup forces communicated with each other by radio and ordered Tehran's city defense forces to surrender. In some places, the two sides exchanged fire.

Tehran's artillery is rumbling, now is no longer the time for small fights, but a confrontation within the army.

Dulles, director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, is far away in Washington, but he has been paying attention to the movement in Tehran.For this reason, it is difficult to sleep and eat. With the addition of armored divisions in the battle in Tehran, the balance gradually tends to be on the side of the coup d'état.

At this time, Mossadegh wanted to ask the Soviet Union for help, but it was too late.

"Pass the tank again?" Alan Wilson said viciously, holding the telegram from McCordick.

"Secretary, we have a cable from Washington that the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is coming to Basra."

Allen Wilson was taken aback, and replied, "Dulles? The purpose of his visit should be for the king."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This is to pick peaches. Alan Wilson immediately guessed what Dulles was thinking. Although Mossadegh has not been caught yet, the direction of Iran’s political situation is already obvious. For Mossadegh, failure has entered the countdown .

At this time, Dulles traveled thousands of miles to the Middle East as the head of the CIA. . .The purpose is naturally to come to the front line and let Iran, a major country in the Middle East, fall into the arms of the United States, rather than spending money and effort to add a slave country to the United Kingdom.

After thinking for a long time, Alan Wilson decided to tell Pahlavi about this matter. Everyone is on the way, and he can't do it without saying it.

"His Majesty the King, I believe you will be able to return to loyal Tehran in a few days. Although things have twists and turns occasionally, the result is good after all." Alan Wilson appeared in Barle with a sincere smile Congratulations to the Iranian ruler.

"Has there been any results yet?" Pahlavi was overjoyed, obviously much stronger than the sluggishness when he first came here. Maybe people feel refreshed when they have happy events, that's what they said.

"Of course, the UK also hopes that the Kingdom of Iran will be stable." Alan Wilson said, with a suggestive tone, "Britain is also a monarchy, no matter what, it will not overthrow another monarchy."

In terms of national attributes, Alan Wilson is right, and the most suitable listener for such words is the leader of a country like Pahlavi. In fact, Alan Wilson is very contradictory.

The future of Iran is estimated to be in the hands of the United States and taken from the hands of the United Kingdom.

Alan Wilson should be hostile to Iran and should hope that Pahlavi will be overthrown in the future.But in this world, if one monarchy is overthrown, there will be one less, and every monarchy may have a good relationship with Britain.

From this point of view, it is best for the Kingdom of Iran to survive.What a dilemma.

Then he informed Pahlavi of the news that Dulles had arrived, which also proved in one aspect that the overall situation in Iran had been settled, and the possibility of accidents was not high.

"Thanks to Allah, my people, my army, and you." Pahlavi finally showed a smile on his face, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Alan Wilson, "You are friends of Iran."

"Of course, the indestructible kind." Alan Wilson pondered for a while when he said this, "About Mossadegh's handling? We don't like this person, and he may be made a fuss by the Soviet Union when he is alive. This time he rejected His Majesty's request The warrant will not be obeyed in the future, I can judge that Mossadegh is a dangerous element, if it is not dealt with seriously, it will not have the effect of deterring."

"Mossadegh is supported by many people." Pahlavi hesitated. He could understand that the British hated Mossadegh, but?

"Adding this one, he must die even more. Mossadegh is still the husband of the former princess, right? No wonder there is such a big support." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes, and he believed that Pahlavi understand this truth.

Mossadegh has already resisted Pahlavi once, is it still waiting for the second time?The monarch should think about the problem from the perspective of the monarch, leaving a prime minister with such a large support, making trouble for himself?

"He won't die, and Iran's sanctions will not end." Seeing Pahlavi's hesitation, Alan Wilson coldly emphasized that if Mossadegh is overthrown, Britain still clings to it, which is tantamount to putting the coup d'état at risk. Pahlavi's team went in and sold them all. As for the consequences, Pahlavi can think for himself.

As long as Iran's sanctions are not lifted for a day, Alan Wilson can say this to the monarch of a major Middle Eastern country. Pahlavi's side is far less supported than Mossadegh. If Mossadegh is removed from power, the sanctions will still not be lifted?How to explain to the Iranian people?

"I also want to take into account the people's thoughts." Pahlavi's conscience is slowly disappearing, but he is still struggling in vain.

"I've only seen people one by one, and I've never seen any people." Allen Wilson said, "What people? Have you ever had a tank?"

In the end, Pahlavi was convinced that he should take decisive measures against Mossadegh, who was peeping at the artifact.

Before Dulles reached Basra, news came from Tehran that Mossadegh had surrendered to the coup forces.

This made Alan Wilson grin. To be honest, this is also normal. When Sukarno faced Suharto's coup, he finally chose to surrender. The father of Indonesia did not show how much he would rather die than submit.

However, Alan Wilson really hoped that Mossadegh would rather die than surrender, but this result happened.

The situation in Iran in the past few days, first of all, Pahlavi insisted on issuing some king's warrant to mess things up, and ran away directly under Mossadegh's counterattack.

Now it is when Mossadegh is facing the coup army, he sees that the situation is not good and surrenders directly.The performance of the two major power figures in Iran really surprised Alan Wilson, a representative of imperialism.

"Surrender is death!" Alan Wilson repeated Britain's position. The hostility to Britain will definitely pay a price. "Anyone who confiscates British assets and then says I'm sorry and pretends it's nothing? That's what Cuba does too. , Why did the United States plan the Bay of Pigs landing?"

When meeting Dulles for the first time, when Alan Wilson was asked about the handling of Mossadegh, he directly asked the director of the Central Intelligence Agency a rhetorical question, which made Dulles a little embarrassed. He was the one who landed in the Bay of Pigs curated.

Almost immediately, Dulles had a bad impression of this younger colleague, but when he thought about what this person's father-in-law and wife represented, he automatically calmed down and said, "The United States also understands Britain's anger towards Mossadegh."

"We also believe that Britain and the United States are in a common position on this matter." Alan Wilson took out the list he had already prepared, and said murderously, "Taking this opportunity, the Iranian political circle may have a favorable opinion of the Soviet Union." uprooted, and the military may have been purged of supporters of the BJP, BJP and trade union organisations.”

"Since it has been done, now is not the time to hesitate. It is correct to drive out the biggest enemy."

Dulles didn't expect that this little colleague was so murderous. If Alan Wilson was an American, he wouldn't even have anything to do with him. Fortunately, he was British.

The list includes six ministers including Prime Minister Mossadegh and Foreign Minister Hussein Fatemi.There are more than 100 important leaders of the National Front, important people of the Iranian People's Party, and leaders of the Mass Party and trade union organizations, and each of them is on the list of killing.

"I suggest to go all out and act immediately when the Soviet Union can't react. It's all due to chaos." Allen Wilson said to Dulles with excitement, "The next bigger cleaning campaign can be slightly Postpone, according to my estimation, the scale of cleaning should be around [-] people, as for the rest, we can kindly release them.”
