Chapter 1375 "Dongbo Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty"
Persia is the semi-colonial country mentioned by the Russian leader Vladimir. In history, it also had a deep blood hatred with Russia. Like the Far Eastern Empire, Tsarist Russia was the country with the most erosion of Persian territory in modern times.
And what is more unfortunate than the Far Eastern Empire is that the Persian territory seized by Tsarist Russia can be said to be the most fertile land in Persia.
These lands include large tracts of territories along the Caspian coast such as Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmen in their previous lives. At the same time, Persia has also become a puppet regime in the hands of Russia.
The Qazar dynasty itself made its fortune in the northern part of Persia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the territory seized by Russia was the land of the dragon's prosperity of the Kazar royal family, which is similar to the experience of the original Qing royal family of the Far Eastern Empire.
So judging from the historical experience of Persia, the relationship between Persia and Russia is not good, but Russia is so strong that Persia dares to be angry but dares not speak out.
On the other hand, although East Africa is also a country with ambition, East Africa and Persia are separated by the Indian Ocean, which can make Persia feel a little secure. Similarly, if it is not East Africa that comes to Persia this time, but Britain or the United States, then Persia will be even more Feeling safe.
Unfortunately, the British are powerless now. As for the United States, if Persia dares to vote for the United States, the East African fleet will dare to appear at the door of Persia the next day. In fact, the third fleet in East Africa can teach Persia how to be a human being, and the third fleet Just stationed around Persia.
After signing the London Naval Treaty, the most powerful navy in the Indian Ocean is the East African Navy. Although the UK has consolidated the Royal Navy's position as the world's first navy through the London Navy Treaty, the reduction in the size of the navy has instead controlled the area of the war. Even less before.
The London Navy Treaty restricts the main warships of various countries, that is, the combat capabilities of the long-sea, while the Indian Ocean is undoubtedly a far-sea relative to the British mainland.
East Africa itself has the advantage in the Indian Ocean. In addition, it obtained a large amount of land in the Persian Gulf during World War I, but instead it can deploy a large number of non-main combat ships. There are military bases along the Persian Gulf to provide logistical support, further enhancing East Africa's Persian Gulf in the Persian Gulf. influence.
In addition, East Africa's air force base in Qatar is also under construction. After the base is completed, the entire Persian Gulf coast will be within the range of East Africa.
With the strong advantages that East Africa has accumulated in the Persian Gulf, it is basically impossible for other countries to become new players in the Persian Gulf region.
Among the old players in the Persian Gulf region, Britain is old, the Ottoman Empire is just a good example, and other countries are even more terrible, which means that no country can challenge East Africa's military hegemony in the Persian Gulf region at this stage.
Of course, the Persians are also very clear about this, which is one of the reasons why the Tehran government is at ease to accept the "protection" of East Africa.
Subsequently, Cabrill began to conduct detailed research and discussions with the King Ahmed government on the "cooperation" between the two countries.
Cabril said: "In order to deal with the Russian threat, Persia should carry out comprehensive and deepen cooperation with the empire in all aspects. The first is to abolish all cooperation between Persia and Russia in the past. Does His Majesty the King agree with this?"
King Ahmed said in his heart that what if I don’t agree! Of course, he certainly did not dare to reveal this, but said with a smile: "This is naturally. We Persia will never be in harmony with the evil country of Russia. General Cabrill, let me tell you, Persia is early It has been suffering from Russia for a long time. At least 70% of all the sufferings in Persia are caused by Russia."
As for the remaining 30%, according to King Ahmed's heart, it is naturally the blame for the British.
Of course, although Britain is not a good thing, it is already considered a "good person" compared to the insatiable Russians.
General Cabril was very satisfied with Ahmed's statement. He said: "Your Majesty the King, don't worry. With our East Africa support, we will definitely do our best to help your country resist the Russian invasion, but this also requires your country's Cooperate."
"First of all, the Persian government should completely demolish the railways built in Persia, the former Russian standard, and block the convenient passage of Russia's southward movement. At the same time, East Africa helps Persia build railways from Tehran and other places to the Persian Gulf coast. Of course, the funds for the construction of railways are funded by the Persian government The Empire is responsible for providing personnel and technical support. ”
"If your country lacks funds, you can apply for a loan from East Africa, and you can use Persian minerals as collateral. Your Majesty the King doesn't need to worry. We will definitely give Persia a suitable price and will not be built like other countries. In the name of railways, seizing your country's resources. Of course, this mainly depends on whether your country's economic strength can support railway construction."
Cabrille said this. After all, in the current economic environment of Persia, the treasury will not be like the jingle of poverty, but it can also be said that those who see it are sad and those who hear it are crying.
After all, every few years, countries such as Russia and Britain come to blackmail. Even if the Persian government is honest and honest, it is impossible to save much money. What's more, there is no completely honest government in the world, and a country like Persia The bureaucrats exist without any limit.
Therefore, Persia has only one way out, that is, borrowing debts from East Africa.
Of course, East Africa did not come to fish for the extinction of the lake, but to implement neocolonialism in Persia, so it would definitely not be too ruthless.
Ahmed said frowningly: "Now the Persian treasury is so poor that it can't even afford to raise mice. Moreover, demolishing the original railway and building a new railway will undoubtedly make Persian's finances worse."
General Cabrille comforted him: "Your Majesty the King, you don't need to worry so much. After all, we are also thinking about the safety of your country. If we don't do this, the accumulation of Persia will eventually be just a wedding dress for the Russians. Azerbaijan has been taken away and will only gain more and more strength in the future.”
"It depends on which country around Russia has not been invaded by Russia? History has proved that countries like Russia's greed for other countries is like dogs that cannot be changed..., and they have no sense of shame at all."
"No matter how much the Russian Labor Party puts gilds on its face, it cannot change their facts as Russians. This human weakness cannot be changed by shouting a few political slogans."
"We may want to get profits from Persia, but at least East Africa will tell the rules, and the Russian Labor Party only needs to incite people who don't know the truth, and they can get everything from Persia, including your life and death."
From this perspective, Cabrill is not a slander of the Russian Labor Party. In fact, the ideal of the Russian Labor Party is great, but they themselves cannot achieve the world harmony they pursue.
After Vladimir's death in his previous life, Russia immediately became a new version of Tsarist Russia, or the enhanced version of Tsarist Russia. After the 1970s, he didn't even want a fig leaf and turned directly into imperialism.
Of course, these problems of the Russian Labor Party cannot be revealed at this stage, but whether Russia will continue the expansion policy of the Tsarist Russian era is no longer important. Since the changes in Russia's ideology, the ruling classes of other countries have completely allowed it in their hearts. Monsters like Russia exist.
However, given Russia's strong strength, most people can only think about it in their hearts unless they really have the strength to defeat the Russian Labor Party.
Just like an imperialist country, it is not daring to directly confront Russia now, but supports countries around Russia to confront Russia. As for what Cabrill said, King Ahmed was naturally very clear that East Africa was a chronic poison, but Russia was directly beheading, and they even dared to kill their own tsar, let alone their own Persian little one It's the king.
Of course, even if Cabrille was talking nonsense, Ahmed could still say with confidence: "Your Excellency, even though that is the case, we Persia is poor!"
Cabril said: "Poverty is not a problem. Anyway, Persia is vast and has a lot of mineral resources. We will help you develop and develop the economy, so you will have the ability to repay your debts."
During the Tsarist Russian era, large areas of land surrounding the Caspian Sea, including Tehran, were all Russia's sphere of influence.
In the sphere of influence of the former Tsarist Russia, Persia has abundant mineral resources, especially oil and natural gas rank among the forefront of the world. In addition, Persia's copper, zinc and chromite are all rich ores with great mining value.
Among the three mineral resources below, East Africa attaches more importance to zinc ore. As for copper ore and chromite are themselves the advantageous resources of East Africa, among which East Africa is the world's largest chromite reserves and output.
The zinc ore resources in East Africa are not abundant. Persian zinc ore mainly exists in the form of lead-zinc ore, and is widely distributed from its territory to the southeast.
In short, even Persia, which has a sphere of influence in Russia, has considerable mineral resources, especially the oil and gas resources that East Africa attaches most importance to.
Of course, there is no longer the so-called concept of Russian sphere of influence in Persia, but the sphere of influence in East Africa within Persia.
Cabrille persuaded with great thought: "I will give you a briefing to His Majesty the King. Our East African government supports the rule of the Cazar royal family over Persia, and His Majesty the King, as the spokesperson of the Cazar royal family, I believe you are very clear. , The difficulties faced by the Kazar royal family in Persia are only able to successfully land only by cooperating with our East Africa. Otherwise, let alone Russia, I am afraid that the Persian people will send you to the end under the inspiration of those who are interested."
The ancestors of the Kazar royal family were Turkic tribes, and they were a bit disconnected from the Persian land. They also encountered the worst period in Persian history, that is, the rise of European colonists, and the backward economic foundation, the rule of the Kazar royal family in Persia. It can be said that heaven is angry and people are resentful.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
In his previous life, the Kazar royal family was overthrown in 1925, so if East Africa had not intervened, the fate of the Kazar royal family would probably not be much better than that of the previous life.
Cabril's words also made Ahmed determined to cooperate with East Africa. After all, the interests of Persia do not equal the interests of the royal family. What's the harm in sacrificing Persia's interests for the interests of the royal family.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since that is the case, our Kazar royal family can support your country's interests in Persia, but your country should also show sincerity to support the royal family."
Cabril patted his chest and said, "This is natural. This is the consideration for why the empire sent me to Persia this time, and my next proposal is also related to ensuring the safety of the Persian royal family."

"In addition to railway construction, our cooperation between East Africa and Persia is more important to help your Persian royal family form a military force that is completely loyal to the royal family."
"In addition, our East Africa will also send a certain number of garrisons in Tehran, Mahshahel and other regions, and lease the northern Persian port as the economic cooperation zone of the two countries."
The first point mentioned by Cabrill is the right to build roads, which is to open up the foundation for economic cooperation between East Africa and Persia. The second point is the right to garrison, which is mainly to safeguard the interests of East Africa in Persia and to infiltrate the Persian army. , support pro-East Africa forces and replace the original pro-Russian forces.
Ahmed agreed without hesitation about the second point. As for the current situation in Persia, outsiders like East Africa are more trustworthy.
Once the military is completed, cooperation in other aspects can be regarded as a small problem.
Cabrill continued: "The two countries should carry out in-depth cooperation in the economic field. First of all, the Rhine Shield should become the main circulating currency in Persia. At the same time, some of Persian assets should be deposited in East Africa to facilitate trade settlement between the two countries, especially in Persia. In the north, the Persian government should support the investment behavior of East African companies."
After all, Persia is divided by East Africa and the United Kingdom, so the East African government does not expect the Persian government's policies to affect the entire Persia.
Therefore, even in economic cooperation, East Africa can only tacitly control the sphere of influence of East Africa, that is, the northern part of Persia.
"At the same time, the empire will help Persia build a number of new colleges and universities and help Persia progress towards a civilized country."
This is the infiltration of Persia from the perspective of cultural ideas. In fact, the manifestation of Iran in previous lives shows the success of this infiltration of cultural ideas. East Africa has also accumulated relevant experience over the years and can be applied to Persia, so as to Persia supports a group of "spiritual East Africans".
"Based on Persia's national conditions, the empire focused on supporting the development of Persia's agriculture, mining and industry, and helped Persia get rid of extreme poverty."
Neocolonialism often takes agriculture and mining as breakthrough points, thus making its target area a vassal of raw materials. Of course, even so, neocolonialism at least leaves some soup for the locals.
Listening to Cabrill’s big hype, Ahmed felt very depressed, but he finally felt a little better. After all, even if East Africa is clearly "robbed", it is more polite than Tsarist Russia. If Tsarist Russia still exists, it may be direct. Come with the army.
Just two months later, East Africa reached a series of agreements with Persia, and it was summarized as the "Tongbo Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty".
The signing of the treaty also shows the further decline of Britain's regional influence. Before World War I, Britain must have inquire about Persian affairs, but now it can only turn a blind eye to East Africa's small actions and close its eyes. .
Like in the previous life, although the World War did not end the British hegemony, it also made countries around the world realize the decline of British hegemony. However, Americans in the previous life took most of the dividends of the decline of Britain, and in this time and space, these rights were carried out. More countries are robbed.
In Europe, Russia, Germany, Austro-Hungary, outside Europe, the United States, East Africa and Japan each showed their magical powers to expand their sphere of influence and influence as much as possible.
Traditional empires such as Britain and France can only focus on their core areas and have no ability to participate in the power vacuum zone.
This also led to the situation of small countries and backward countries and regions in the world becoming dangerous after 1920. Many powerful powers and the upgraded version of Russia were intertwined, making it difficult for many countries to even understand how to take sides.
