"We should withdraw our troops from Suez in the near future, after the negotiations have made corresponding progress,"

Walking on the lawn of the official residence, Li Yian talked to Princess Addis beside him.

Now her younger brother Faisal II is visiting various places in Southeast Asia, and as a princess, she stays in Chang'an and engages in the politics of the ladies - this is because her younger brother is not married yet, and as the eldest princess, she naturally has to play a role, drink afternoon tea with Margaret, watch sports games, and listen to operas. As she has been educated in the UK since she was nine years old, she behaves more like a British.

In fact, Li Yian felt very sympathetic towards the woman in front of him.

She is a poor creature indeed!

Next year, she, her brothers and sisters, and hundreds of Iraqi royal family members will die in the hands of chaos. Not only the king's brothers were killed, but almost all royal family members were killed. The princess and other royal women were also bullied. The sudden collapse of the Iraqi Kingdom was like a thunderclap. The shocked United States and Britain launched military interventions in Lebanon and Jordan respectively.

Although Li Yian was still somewhat hesitant about intervening in Iraq, deep down, he was still inclined to intervene. After all, for Li Yian, who had already decided to go public through a backdoor listing with the shell of Great Britain, he did not want the United States to replace the influence of Britain and France in the Middle East.

In another world, after the "Suez Crisis", the United States began to implement a "military assistance and cooperation plan" in the Middle East to fill the "power vacuum" created in this strategic location by the withdrawal of Britain and France due to the failure of the war of aggression against Egypt. Eisenhower said, "The vacuum in the Middle East must be filled by the United States before the Russians come in." This is the so-called "Eisenhower Doctrine." Later, this Middle East policy program was also used in regions outside the Middle East.

The so-called "Eisenhower Doctrine" actually marks the beginning of the United States' complete replacement of Britain and France after they withdrew from their colonies and expanded their global influence.

This obviously conflicts with Li Yian's strategic path.

Therefore, the next step is that Nanyang must prevent the so-called "Eisenhower Doctrine", but Britain's decline is inevitable, and Nanyang must take this opportunity to take over its influence in the Middle East and other regions.

And Iraq is one of the options.

"It doesn't matter."

Princess Addis shook her head and said.

"You know, my brother cares more about his dream, and he hopes to get your help."

While speaking, Princess Addis's eyes couldn't help but turn to Li Yian beside her. Through the contact over the past few days, she could feel the aggression in his eyes.

For Princess Addis, who had spent her entire youth in a British girls' school, such an aggressive gaze made her seem to return to her youth. Her mind once again emerged with the scandals among British aristocrats mentioned by her friends at school. Deep in her heart, she felt an urge to try it out, and she couldn't help but pinch her palms, as if to remind herself that she was a married woman.

Listening to the princess' request, Li Yian said.

"Nanyang will provide assistance to Iraq, both militarily and economically. We have always been committed to..."

Before he could finish, a silver snake-like lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, accompanied by thunder, instantly tearing the sky apart. Then, heavy rain began to fall. The big raindrops instantly soaked the clothes of the two people. Seeing this, Li Yian grabbed her hand and said.

"Let's go to the pavilion by the lake to take shelter from the rain first."

Princess Atis, whose hand was held by the man, had not yet reacted and let him pull her into a pavilion not far away. Although the distance was not far, they were still soaked by the rain when they reached the pavilion.

The raindrops hit the roof of the pavilion, making a rapid and powerful knocking sound, like the drumbeats of nature, with a clear and rapid rhythm. The rain poured down the eaves of the pavilion, forming a series of crystal clear water curtains, quickly gathering into streams on the ground, and rushing into the lake.

The surrounding scenery became blurred under the heavy rain, and everything was shrouded in a hazy mist. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and grass, which intertwined with the wetness of rain, giving people a unique sense of freshness and tranquility.

Although the sudden rainstorm soaked Addis's dress, she still stretched out her hands with interest, letting the raindrops hit her hands and arms, and said.

"In Baghdad, it hardly rains, at least not this hard, but here, it rains constantly."

“It’s the rainy season now.”

Li Yian said, but his eyes fell on her arms. He watched the raindrops hitting her arms, watched the water droplets slide down her cheeks. His eyes moved downwards, and the wet dress showed her slim figure. He couldn't help but feel moved, so he walked to her side and wiped the water droplets off her face with his hand.

His action stunned Princess Addis. She just stared at him with her eyes wide open, and for a moment, she seemed a little dazed.

Li Yian swore that he had no intention of poaching guests, he just didn't want to offend the guests. As a host, he always wanted to make the guests feel at home, which was purely the host's duty.

He stood behind her, put his two big hands around her belly, a faint scent of perfume in her nose, and said to her earlobe:
"It's only a few steps away, and you're already wet. You'll easily catch a cold." Li Yian's hot breath made Adis' ears itchy. She sensed a dangerous aura, and her instinct told her to flee as quickly as possible. She twisted her slender figure and asked anxiously:

"Sir, no, not here..."

The woman's answer made Li Yian utter four words:
"Where is that?"

"Ah~."

Addis cried out softly, and when he came to his senses, he found himself being held in the other person's arms.

"Don't do this, let me go...let go."

She resisted like cotton, but soon the sound disappeared, not disappeared, but became deeper...

The rain in the rainy season comes quickly and leaves quickly. When the heavy rain ends, the wind and rain in the pavilion also end.
"It just so happens that the rain has stopped, let's go back first."

With his back to Princess Addis, Li Yian pulled up his trousers as he spoke, with a hint of satisfaction that he had gotten what he wanted.

Princess Addis, with disheveled hair, was lying beside the pavilion, still not recovering from the sudden incident.

"You can stay at my place during your visit, is that okay?"

Li Yian, who had transformed from a primitive man into a beast in human form, resumed his hypocritical attitude and asked the princess beside him,
Princess Addis may not be used to the fact that there is a man behind her, but it doesn't matter, she will get used to it slowly. After a while, she looked at the man and said:
"You, you bastard..."

At this moment, her face was rosy, her eyes were like water, and her voice was as sweet as pink cotton candy. Then she pursed her lips and said nothing, lying there with her eyes closed, her mind still reminiscing!

……

The night was dark. Although the guests were staying in the guest room, Li Yian did not go to greet them. When she was in the pavilion before, she was like a dying fish, feeling as if she was starving to death.

Sometimes you can't eat too much at one time, otherwise, you will get sick from overeating.

There are things to think about and things to deal with.

Sitting in the study of the official residence, Li Yian kept reading the reports of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Now the negotiations that the Nanyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs was directly involved in were the negotiations in Geneva, where South Asia, Britain, France, Israel, Egypt, the United States and the Soviet Union were negotiating to resolve the Suez issue.

At the same time, there was another negotiation - Hungary. Although Nanyang did not directly participate in the negotiations, it was well known that Nanyang was the only supporter of Hungary. Although the United States and Britain also issued statements after the Soviet Union expressed its hope to resolve the issue through negotiations, Nanyang's role was crucial.

Carefully reading the secret telegram sent from Budapest, Li Yian nodded slightly.

“Since a consensus has been reached on the issue of a coalition government, the Hungarian issue can be said to be resolved peacefully.”

The Hungarian issue was developing in the direction of the basic consensus reached between him and Khrushchev. The Nagy government in Budapest merged with the Kadar Workers and Peasants Government established by the Russians in Szolnok. As for Hungary's status, although it withdrew from the Warsaw Organization, it remained neutral while participating in Warsaw Pact meetings as an observer country of the Warsaw Pact. In other words, it maintained a tendency to be neutral.

At the same time, the major powers promised not to send troops to Hungary.

"Basically, as long as the major powers work together, the Hungarian problem can be basically solved,"

The so-called coordination among the great powers means that the United States, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Britain, France and Hungary need to reach a basic consensus, an agreement to safeguard the security of the Soviet Union's southwestern border, that is, to ensure Hungary's neutrality.

"Fortunately, everything went well."

Putting the report aside, Li Yian picked up another report. When he opened it, his eyes lit up and he talked to himself.

"It's finally here!"
