Chapter 2407

After Lisa Khan came to the throne, he did something unprecedented. He flattened all of Tehran, and built a new Tehran on the basis of the old site, which is as impressive as the past.

Urban reconstruction is normal, but almost all of them are rebuilt on the basis of destroyed cities. It is estimated that many large cities in Russia now need to be rebuilt. The war has completely destroyed these cities.

It is rare in history for a city like Tehran to be demolished and rebuilt when it is basically intact.

There are of course benefits.

Tehran used to be the same as those ancient cities with a long history in Europe. There was basically no planning when the city was built, and it was allowed to develop freely. The streets were narrow and the supporting facilities were not perfect, and the buildings were dilapidated and lacked public facilities.

Lisa Khan is still very smart. When rebuilding Tehran, he fully absorbed the experience of southern Africa. The urban designers were also hired from southern Africa. Therefore, the current level of urban construction in Tehran ranks among the top five in the surrounding areas of the Persian Gulf.

The reason why the bearded man chose Tehran has a lot to do with Russia's direct influence on Persia.

As I said before, Persia is divided into two, the north belongs to the Russian sphere of influence, the south belongs to the British sphere of influence, and the bearded man is in Persia, which can guarantee his personal safety to the greatest extent.

Rock was going to Persia, and an embarrassing problem was that he didn't even have a suitable apartment. The bearded man was very generous and invited Rock to live in the Russian embassy in Persia.

In addition to inviting Roque, Beard also extended an invitation to Roosevelt.

Roosevelt was happy to accept it, but Rock could not accept it. The northern part of the Persian Gulf was the British sphere of influence, and the southern part was the southern African sphere of influence. Rock wanted to expand the southern African embassy in Persia in Tehran, which could be completed in minutes.

"If you don't want to live in a hotel, you can live in my manor. I remember that I also have properties in Tehran—" Stoudemire was triumphant. This guy has properties all over the world. He didn't know how many properties he had. clear.

"You don't need to worry about this issue, I haven't fallen to this level yet." Rock was annoyed. No matter how weak Southern Africa's influence on Persia was, it shouldn't be so weak.

The Russian embassy in Tehran is a huge building covering hundreds of acres. It is similar in shape to those ancient castles in Europe. It is both military in nature and large in scale.

Southern Africa's embassy in Tehran has an area of ​​less than [-] acres. This is not because Lisa Khan deliberately neglected it, but because Southern Africa does not want to intensify the conflict with Britain and Russia, so it is so low-key.

I almost forgot to say that the king of Persia is no longer Lisa Khan, but Lisa Khan's eldest son, Lisa Pahlavi.

In order to get rid of British control and frequent contacts with Germany, Lisa Khan was forced to abdicate in 41 years and went into exile overseas. He died of illness in Cairo last year.

"Because of some reasons, Britain and Russia are very resistant to us. Our companies are struggling to survive in Persia and are often targeted by the Persian government. Persia is also dispensable to us. We don't need Persia's mineral resources. The Persians The spending power of the country is also very limited.” Yang Smozi has a good understanding of Persia, which actually has a lot to do with the policy orientation of southern Africa.

Southern Africa focuses on three directions, one is East Asia, the other is Europe, and the last is South America. The status of Persia is similar to that of Newfoundland.

Persia's main mineral resources are oil and iron and copper.

Not to mention oil, Southern Africa, which owns Port Elizabeth and Neji oil fields, is the only one in the world, and the little oil in Persia is really despised.

In terms of iron ore, there are Pilbara and Iron Four Corners in southern Africa. The iron ore in Persia is dwarfed by the fact that the grade is not high and it is difficult to mine. Only the British are interested.

As for the copper mines—

Southern Africa, which owns the Upper Katanga copper belt, is the price-setter for international copper mines, and Persia's copper mines are not even valued by Stoudemire.

So the status quo is really not caused by Persia, and the neglect of southern Africa is also very responsible.

"Persia is an important country along the Persian Gulf. The stability of the Persian Gulf is related to our oil security. How can we allow Persia to continue to be ruled by Britain and Russia?" Rock has not been so angry for many years. Some officials in southern Africa , ignoring the importance of Persia to the Persian Gulf, no matter what, Persia is also a regional power around the Persian Gulf.

Yang Smotz tried to smile but couldn't. No one had noticed this problem before.

For southern Africa, Persia is the end of the world and is of no importance at all.

The southern African embassy in Persia has never undertaken a major task, but only serves a small number of southern Africans in Persia, and the support given by the federal government is too small.

The situation now is completely different from before. With the expansion of Southern Africa's power, one ebbs and another, the influence of Britain and Russia on Persia is weakening. It is time to strengthen Southern Africa's position in the Persian Gulf.

Rock put the focus of his work on Pahlavi.

Lisa Khan loved Pahlavi very much. He sent Pahlavi to Europe and the United States to receive education in his early years, which gave Pahlavi a political vision beyond ordinary people.

Although Pahlavi received education in Europe and the United States, he did not agree with the educational methods in Europe and the United States.

One thing must be affirmed, if Persia wants to be truly independent, it must get rid of the colonial rule of Britain and Russia. This is a clear conclusion drawn by Pahlavi after traveling around the country.

It is now clear that Southern Africa is the best way to get rid of Britain and Russia.

After Pahlavi ascended the throne, he made tentative contacts with southern Africa, but he did not get the promise of the federal government of southern Africa. Southern Africa did not want to turn his face directly because of Persia, Britain, and Russia.

Now times have changed, Britain is struggling to maintain under the threat of Germany, and Russia has been severely damaged by the war. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Persia. Whether it can get rid of the control of Britain and Russia depends on the determination of Pahlavi.

"I have ordered the demolition of three blocks around the southern African embassy. In this way, the area of ​​the southern African embassy can reach more than 120 acres." Pahlavi was determined and tried his best to meet the requirements of the southern African embassy in Persia.

"Thank you very much. I believe that Prime Minister Locke will definitely feel His Majesty's friendship." Johnny, the southern African ambassador to Persia, is of British descent, and this is to better carry out work in Persia.

"No matter what the Prime Minister asks, I will do my best to provide the most perfect service for the Prime Minister." Pahlavi Bilisa Khan has great determination. When Lisa Khan was in power, the relationship with southern Africa was good. In times of bad times, the influence of southern Africa on Persia has actually been strengthening. The oil fields in the southwestern part of Persia are basically monopolized by Adan Company.

This is also the core reason why Pahlavi is entangled.

Persia is still rich in oil and gas resources.

However, like the Najd Sultanate, Persia does not have the right to operate oil and gas resources. Except for Adan Company, Anglo-American Petroleum controls most of Persia's oil and gas resources.

Unlike Najd Petroleum Company, Anglo American Petroleum was too greedy. Although it was a joint operation in name, the profit to the Persian government was only about 5.00% of the total profit.

This is still the distribution ratio before the outbreak of the war.

Since the outbreak of the war, Anglo-American Petroleum has not paid a penny to the Persian government for two consecutive years on the grounds that it has no profit.

This is obviously nonsense. After the outbreak of the war, the price of oil has been rising steadily. The profit dividends of the Nezhi Petroleum Company to the Nazhi Royal Family have almost doubled, but Anglo-American Petroleum claims to be in a state of loss. This is obviously treating Pahlavi as a fool. .

Pahlavi hopes to drive the Anglo-American oil company out of Persia with the help of southern Africa.

"Your Majesty, I can't give you any guarantees, but I can contact Adan Petroleum and Najd Company, as well as Minister Matilda, and you can directly contact Your Excellency the Minister." Johnny is cautious, and there is no shortage of oil in Persia in southern Africa. .

But Johnny would be happy if he could cause Anglo American some trouble.

Henry went to Persia with Rock, and he had to wait to meet Henry.

Port Elizabeth is close to Persia, Johnny made a phone call, and the general manager of Adan Petroleum Company flew to Tehran that night.

Gundam is the son of Gordon, and he has a very good relationship with Gavin. He has worked in Adam Petroleum Company for more than 20 years. After Gao De retired, Rock hand-picked Gundam to be the general manager of Adam Oil Company.

As it turned out, Gundam lived up to Rock's hopes.

Unlike Rock and his generation, when Gundam entered Adan Company, southern Africa was already a powerful country, so Gundam didn't have much awe of the royal family for Pahlavi, and his mentality was similar to that of usual business activities .

"Anglo-American Petroleum is very harsh on the Persian government. The Persian government did not get due profits from oil exploration. Last year, Persian oil workers went on strike. Anglo-American Petroleum mobilized troops to suppress hundreds of people. This is a good opportunity for us. .” Johnny received Gundam at the airport, and after getting in the car, he began to introduce the situation in Persia.

"Can the Persians bear it?" Even if Johnny didn't introduce it, Gundam knew the situation of Anglo-American Oil very well.

After all, they are peers. Although the operating conditions of Anglo American Petroleum are not as good as that of Adan, there is still some attention that should be paid.

"His Majesty Pahlavi must be very angry, but Anglo-American Petroleum bribed Pahlavi's generals, and Pahlavi had to swallow his anger." Johnny knew more inside information, and Pahlavi probably forgot how his father was King of Persia.

Lisa Khan started his career with a coup and overthrew the Qajar Dynasty.

Now that Pahlavi is on the throne, but the power is left behind, it is really embarrassing.

"Rhode should be interested in this news." Gao Da chuckled, Rhode is Luo Yi's son, and now serves as the general manager of Umbrella Company.

Unknowingly, the second or even third generation of Southern African Chinese has replaced Rock and his generation as the backbone of Southern Africa.

The old guys are now retiring to the second line, or retiring to the mountains and forests to entertain their grandchildren. Their era is coming to an end.

"War is the last line, unless there is no other choice." Johnny didn't want to go to war. If the Umbrella Company came forward, they would have nothing to do with diplomats.

"I'll talk about it after I see His Majesty the King." Gao Da was not in a hurry, it depended on Pahlavi's determination.

Pahlavi still attached great importance to Gundam, and took the initiative to entertain Gundam in the palace, accompanied by Swift, the deputy general manager of Anglo-American Petroleum Company.

Adan Petroleum always pays attention to Anglo American Petroleum.

Anglo American Petroleum did not dare to take Adan Petroleum as an industry giant lightly. When Gundam came to Tehran, Anglo American Petroleum focused on it. Swift came uninvited, but Pahlavi did not dare to turn him away.

Pahlavi invited Gundam, and the reason given to Swift was to solve the legacy problems of the Khuzestan oil field.

Swift is also interested in Khuzestan.

Khuzestan has the most abundant oil and gas resources in Persia. After being exploited by major oil companies, Khuzestan's oil fields were once exhausted, so they were abandoned by major oil companies, and Adan Company took advantage of it.

After the reasonable development of Adan Company, Khuzestan’s current oil production has been rising steadily. The combined production of Anglo-American oil fields around the world is not as high as that of Khuzestan oil fields, which makes Anglo-American Petroleum heartbroken.

Unlike Anglo-American Petroleum, Adan bought out Khuzestan's oil development rights at the beginning, but it was the Qajar dynasty that signed the agreement with Adan, which left room for Pahlavi to maneuver.

The Qajar Dynasty has now collapsed, and theoretically the agreement has to be re-signed.

Pahlavi also tried, but was directly rejected by Adan Company.

Adan Company has already paid for the oil fields in Khuzestan. Although the amount is negligible, Gundam does not want to discuss this issue again.

Even if the power is left behind, Pahlavi, as the king of Persia, of course has all kinds of resplendent and magnificent palaces, worthy of the status of Gundam.

Gundam’s attention was not on the banquet. This was the first time that Gundam came to Tehran since he was the general manager of Adan Company. He immediately became the focus of the banquet. Many people regarded Gundam’s arrival as a sign of Southern Africa’s efforts in Persia. A clear signal, which makes many people think about it.

The Pahlavi dynasty was established in 1921, and now it is only 20 years old, but the class has been solidified, and the disease is full of problems. The whole country has no vitality, and it seems to be dying.

Like all dynasties of the last days, the vested interests of the Pahlavi dynasty refused to share their interests, and the emerging interest groups did not get the power that matched their strength. There were various external pressures from the British and Russians. The arrival of the southern Africans was a An opportunity to change the status quo.

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about any issues related to Khuzestan. Khuzestan itself has no problems. There is no need to discuss it. The reason I came to Tehran is to prepare for Uncle Locke's arrival. I don't have any business purpose." Wasted time on people, and didn't give Swift any face.

"You'd better be like this, Southern Africans, this is Tehran, not Port Elizabeth!" Swift said not politely, if there was no suppression from Adan Company, Anglo American Petroleum would not be where it is today.

This is the real blood feud.
