Chapter 332 Golestan Palace(2/2)
, full of the exotic mood of the Persians.
Apart from the dry and hot weather, Emperor Song Biao really couldn't find any picky places.
If possible, Emperor Song Biao would never want to experience such a formal visit to the country. Too many diplomatic etiquettes made him feel too complicated. After inspecting the Iranian guard of honor accompanied by King Rezashah Pahlavi, he
Continue to the Iranian parliament, Chen Jin, the Minister of Finance who accompanied him to visit Iran, was responsible for delivering a speech on behalf of the Chinese delegation, while Emperor Song Biao just needed to sit down and be a listener.
Then came the welcome state banquet of the Iranian royal family and a brief meeting with King Rezashah Pahlavi. It was not until about 3 pm that Emperor Song Biao could finally rest and stay in Gulestan.
Royal Palace.
In order to show his special admiration and respect for His Majesty, King Rezashah Pahlavi and his family left the Palace of Gulestan one week in advance and lived in the Palace of Asrede on the northwest of Tehran, which symbolized the ancient status of the central government.
The Palace of Lestan was given to His Majesty the Emperor for temporary residence, while the imperial court institutions and the Central Secret Service temporarily took over the defense of the Palace of Gulestan and the surrounding areas a week ago.
During this period, Emperor Song Biao could live leisurely in the Palace of Gulestan and meet everyone he wanted to meet in Iran. The specific administrative visits will be handled by the imperial minister of finance Chen Jin and deputy foreign minister Jiang Zuobin.
As deputy foreign minister from the military and inner court, Jiang Zuobin can represent the emperor's department and inner court's right to speak well in the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is also the reason why he was responsible for accompanying the emperor to visit Europe this time.
After retiring from the military headquarters as the rank of lieutenant general as reserve, Jiang Zuobin has been in charge of exchanges in military defense and intelligence work at the Asian League Council, which has played a very important role. He is also very familiar with the situation in Iran. During the Asian League, he was in charge of the Asian League.
There are close contacts with the Iranian military and political circles.
With the Minister of Finance Chen Jin and Deputy Foreign Minister Jiang Zuobin in charge of specific diplomatic affairs of visiting Iran, Emperor Song Biao could be much easier. He would rest for a day in the Palace of Gulestan and continue to meet with Prime Minister Mohamed, Mossatai and Iran tomorrow.
other sects and political sects.
Compared with other Islamic regions, Iran is more likely to develop countries. One of the important reasons here is that its internal tribal system was replaced by a normal state system more than a thousand years ago. It can become a normal modern religious country.
It is easier to condense into a whole internally, while countries like Libya, Afghanistan and Sudan are more complex. They are full of traditional tribes, so it is very difficult to integrate them, and it is easy to invest in the camp of conservative and extreme doctrines.
middle.
However, the traditional conservative Islamic states are very exclusion of modern religious states such as Iran. The Iran-Iraq War and the subsequent Syrian Civil War are both continuations of this problem, and there are also mixed between Sunnis and Shiites.
religious wars.
This place in the Middle East is indeed very complicated.
The situation in Iran is relatively simple.
For the empire, maintaining the current secular moderate reformist governance of Iran is a very important task, because Iran not only has the oil needed by the empire, but also the largest copper and lead and zinc mine reserves in Asia. The empire's security alliance in Asia
The country with the most internal investment is Iran. During the Sino-Japanese War, about 2/3 of the copper, lead and zinc of ammunition were produced in Iran.
Iran's iron ore reserves also rank first in the Middle East. The four major steel consortiums of the Empire have iron ore projects in Iran. The Far East consortium and Iran's largest local consortium, Angulang Group, have a very close cooperative relationship and Iran's largest local consortium, and holds shares.
There are Iran's pillar industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, and steel.
With the long-term support of the empire, with the overall rapid development of Iran's national economy and industry and agriculture, the empire exports a large number of electromechanical equipment, automobiles, ships, aircraft and ordnance equipment to Iran every year, and at the same time in the financial industry, through Iran
The National Bank, the holding of the Bank of Tehran, and the Imperial Financial Oligarchs also firmly control Iran's economic bloodline, exporting capital to Iran and earning huge profits.
It is precisely because Iran has a great relationship with the empire that although Iran's defense strength continues to increase, the empire continues to maintain a large-scale garrison in Iran in the name of the Asian Alliance.
The next day, Emperor Song Biao met with Prime Minister Mohamed Mossatai at the Palace of Gulestan. This was also his first formal meeting with Prime Minister Mossatai, but this was not a very formal diplomatic meeting. On the contrary,
Emperor Song Biao met Mosatai alone in his familiar and habitual way. He did not arrange other diplomatic etiquette and itinerary, but arranged an hour to talk to Mosatai to deepen the understanding between the two sides and listen to this person.
The true thoughts of the Iranian rulers.
Mosatai is a very special Iranian. To be precise, he is one of the former members of the Kazar royal family. His mother was the granddaughter of King Abbas Mirza of the Kazar dynasty, and his father was the royal family.
The title of Mosatai was awarded a very high-level aristocratic title similar to the "Marquis", and he inherited this title.
From this explanation, we can understand why Mohammed Mosatai's Prime Minister was against the Pahlavi dynasty. He never clearly opposed the current king, but his actions were indeed constantly weakening Pahlavia.
The foundation of the U.S. and the United States and France were especially the ones he wanted to introduce the forces of Britain, the United States and France to balance China's various plans.
The Empire is the most important supporter of the Pahlavi dynasty. The Empire in Iran, whether it is economic investment or support for its national debt, the principle of non-interference in Iran's politics, including the fairness and preferentiality of investment credit.
It is far better than Britain, France, the United States and other countries. On the surface, the Prime Minister of Mossatai hopes to obtain better prices from China by introducing competition from Western countries. In fact, he still wants to gradually weaken the rule of the Pahlavi dynasty and finally achieve it
With the help of British and French forces, the goal of restoring the Kazah dynasty.
The more this happens, the more Emperor Song Biao wants to meet and talk with this person.
Theoretically, it was the actions of the Mosatai Prime Minister who was apparently highly respected by the reformists that led to the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran that forced the end of the constitutional monarchy system and eventually led to Iran's subsequent abyss of religious rule.
.
That morning, Emperor Song Biao met with Prime Minister Mosatai alone in a very relaxed environment and invited him to have tea in the rose garden of the Gulestan Palace where he temporarily lives.
The Silk Road allowed Iran to obtain tea from China very early, and their tea history was almost as long as China. There were also a large number of tea gardens in its own country. With the development of Sino-Iran trade, Chinese black tea also poured into Iran again.
, it accounts for about 2/3 of the Iranian market.
In Iran, the most famous black tea is Qi Hong, and there is also Dian Hong. Song Biao brought Wuyi small-spring black tea from China this time and invited the Prime Minister of Mossatai and other Iranian friends to taste it.
The Prime Minister of Mossatai is very thin and looks very old. In the eyes of Chinese people, he is quite a bit like the tea-man style that southerners call him.
He does like to drink black tea, but according to reliable sources, he never drinks Chinese black tea. He himself claimed that he only drinks local black tea. More information shows that he likes to drink Sri Lankan black tea, including a lot of information
It proves that this person is very Western, especially Britain and France, which is related to his higher education in France and his long-term living in the UK.
