Persia, Tehran, Grestan Palace.

Tehran became the capital of the Persian Empire for not long. In 1796, Aga Mohammed Khan, who founded the Kazar Dynasty, was crowned king in Tehran, and Tehran officially became the capital of the Persian Empire.

Since its founding, the Zar Dynasty has been in constant internal and external troubles. As the imperial palace, the Grestan Palace is not large in scale, but it is still luxurious. It is a palace integrating gorgeous buildings, a quiet pool and a rose garden, also known as the Flower Palace. In the eyes of Persians, a place with water, garden and courtyard is paradise.

A gorgeously decorated four-wheeled carriage stopped outside the Grestan Palace gate. Persian Prime Minister Musildolai walked off the carriage with a tired look on his face and walked slowly into the palace gate.

Since the news of the turmoil broke out in the northwest provinces of the Qing Empire, he has been unable to live a peaceful life all day long. He has seen endless people, talked about things, held meetings, and fought endlessly. The domestic war faction clamored to take the opportunity to regain the lost territory, the neutral faction insisted on maintaining neutrality, and the peace faction advocated support for Central Asia's independence to plan for the long-term.

Foreign forces also intervened, and the ministers of England, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, Italy and other countries in Tehran visited them, with disagreement and their opinions were also inconsistent.

In the Diamond Hall, the Persian emperor Nasser Taisha, who was wearing a beautiful mustache, stood in front of a large map of Asia with his hands in his arms. Compared with the Ottoman Empire, the situation in Persia was slightly better, but it was not much better.

First, Russia and England took Persia as a game field and invaded from both sides of the northeast, causing Persia to lose a large area of ​​territory. After the Crimean War, Russia and England and England finally formed a balance. The Qing Empire emerged again, expelled Britain and Russia, picked the fruits of victory that Britain and Russia took decades to obtain, and became the biggest and most dangerous enemy of Persia.

The reason why Persia became a game field for the three empires was not because of the weak national strength of Persia, not because of Persia's wealth, but because of Persia's unique geographical advantages!

Persia is located in the heart of West Asia and is a must-pass land transportation from East Asia to Asia Minor to Europe. It is known as the Eurasian land bridge. Russia wants to connect the Persian Gulf or the Indian Ocean to obtain a warm water port through Persia. The British invasion was to ensure India's security and expand to Central Asia. As for the Qing Empire, it should be for the Persian Gulf, to threaten India, and to curb Russia's expansion.

Although Persia's territory has been shrinking again and again, it has shrunk significantly, but its geographical advantages have not been lost. The three empires of Qing, Russia and Britain are currently only in a state of balance. Once the balance is broken, war will inevitably begin again.

This is simply an irreconcilable contradiction. Only when Persia becomes stronger itself, otherwise it will be divided up sooner or later and end up with a destruction of its country.

The rebellion in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for Persia!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister asks for your visit."

Nasser turned around and "Let him in." After Muhirdolai came in to greet him, he said directly, "How many days have the issue of Central Asian independence been debated, but is there any result? I heard that the British are willing to provide military aid?"

"Your Majesty, the British are not trustworthy." Mushildorai said very simply. "At the beginning of this dynasty, Britain and our country signed alliance agreements four times, promising that once our country was invaded by European countries, Britain would provide military and financial assistance. However, when the two Russian wars, the British broke their promises and did not provide any assistance, which was no longer trustworthy."

"The situation is different now." Nasser Dingsha said in a deep voice, "The Qing Dynasty annexed Afghanistan and its territory has been expanding to the Persian Gulf coast, which poses a huge threat to British India."

"Your Majesty, Britain is not trustworthy but only one thing." Muhirdolay said slowly, "My country is now closer to Russia. The Russians are helping our country train Cossack brigades and accept military aid from the British, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Russians.

More importantly, the Qing people will never allow Central Asia to be independent. If our country sends troops to support Central Asia's independence, it will not be able to bear the revenge of the Qing people, and now the Persian Gulf is fully controlled by the Qing people."

After a pause, he added, "The Qing Dynasty's envoy has solemnly warned that the Central Asian rebellion was the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty. If it interferes recklessly, it will inevitably be retaliated."

After hearing this, Nasser's face looked a little gloomy and unstable. Over the years, the Qing Dynasty has established its position as the world's largest military power through a series of foreign wars. Both the navy and the army have never been defeated. Persia cannot bear the revenge of the Qing Dynasty. God knows whether the British will break their promises again?

However, this was indeed a rare opportunity for Persia. He was sure that the British would definitely not be a small amount of military aid and financial aid. He was really unwilling to give up just like this!

After pondering for a moment, he asked in a hushed voice, "What do the Russians say?"

"The Russians have a vague attitude and just ask our country to expand the scale of the Cossack brigade as soon as possible." Mushirdolai analyzed in an orderly manner. "The relationship between Russia and the Qing Dynasty is now relatively close, and the Eurasian Railway will be opened soon. The close relationship between the Qing and Russia may be further improved.

However, the Uzbek and Turkmen that Russia had previously seized from our country were both snatched away by the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the Qing Dynasty also seized the Kazakh prairie from Russia, and Russia may not have no idea of ​​regaining these territories.

I think the Russians should be hesitant now, and they are unsure whether to support or remain neutral."

Nasser said, "What if the Russians also support the independence of Central Asia?"

"Your Majesty, even if Britain and Russia support the independence of Central Asia, there is no need for our country to rush to express our views." Mushir Daolai said, "The Qing Dynasty has strong military strength, industrial strength and economic strength, and has developed railway transportation.

Even if Britain and Russia launch large-scale troops to support the independence of Central Asia, it will definitely be a long-term large-scale war with the Qing Dynasty. As long as our attitude is vague and unstable, the benefits will definitely be more than now, and our country can even deal with the three empires."

What are you thinking? If a war breaks out in Central Asia, can Britain and Russia tolerate Persia watching the fun? Nasser Dingsha felt a little disdainful and pondered for a while before he spoke, "For our country, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be much worse than now. We must seize this opportunity and promote the three empires to start a war in Central Asia, so that our country has the opportunity to be strong!"
