After Lisa Khan came to the throne, he did something unprecedented and unprecedented. He bulldozed all of Tehran and built a new Tehran on the basis of the old site.
Urban reconstruction is normal, but it is almost always based on the destruction of the city. Many big cities in Russia are probably in need of reconstruction. 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.
Of course there are benefits.
In the past, Tehran was like those ancient cities with a long history in Europe. When the city was built, there was basically no planning and it was allowed to develop freely. The streets were narrow, supporting facilities were incomplete, and the buildings were dilapidated and lacked public facilities. These are all old problems.
Lisa Khan is still very smart. When rebuilding Tehran, she fully absorbed the experience of southern Africa. Urban designers were also hired from southern Africa. Therefore, the current level of urban construction in Tehran ranks among the top five in the area around the Persian Gulf.
The reason why Big Beard chose Tehran has a lot to do with Russia's direct influence on Persia.
As mentioned before, Persia is divided into two, the northern part belongs to the Russian sphere of influence, and the southern part belongs to the British sphere of influence. The bearded man in Persia can ensure his personal safety to the greatest extent.
Rock is going to Persia, but an embarrassing problem is that he doesn't even have a suitable apartment. The bearded man is very generous and invites Rock to stay at the Russian Embassy in Persia.
In addition to inviting Rock, Big Beard also extended an invitation to Roosevelt.
Roosevelt was happy to accept it, but Roark 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. Roark wanted to expand the Southern African embassy in Persia in Tehran, which could be completed in minutes.
"If you don't want to stay in a hotel, you can stay in my manor. I remember that I also have properties in Tehran." Stoudemire said proudly. This guy has properties all over the world. He can't tell how many exactly he has.
"You don't need to worry about this problem. I haven't fallen to this level yet." Roque was angry. No matter how weak the influence of southern Africa on Persia was, it should not be this weak.
The Russian Embassy in Tehran is a huge building covering an area of hundreds of acres. It is similar in shape to those ancient castles in Europe. It is both military in nature and large in scale.
The embassy of Southern Africa in Tehran only covers an area of less than 20 acres. This is not because Lisa Khan is deliberately neglectful, but because Southern Africa does not want to intensify conflicts with the United Kingdom and Russia, so it is so low-key.
I almost forgot to mention that the current king of Persia is no longer Lisa Khan, but Lisa Khan’s eldest son Lisa Pahlavi.
Lisa Khan had frequent contacts with Germany in order to get rid of British control. She was forced to abdicate in 41 years and went into exile overseas. She died of illness in Cairo last year.
"For some reasons, Britain and Russia are very resistant to us. Our companies have difficulty surviving in Persia and are often targeted by the Persian government. Persia is also dispensable to us. We do not need Persian mineral resources. The Persians
The consumption power is also very limited." Yang Shimozi has a good understanding of Persia, which actually has a lot to do with the policy orientation of southern Africa.
The three directions that southern Africa focuses on are East Asia, Europe, and South America. Persia's status is similar to Newfoundland.
Persia's main mineral resources are oil and iron and copper.
Let’s not talk about oil. Southern Africa, with its Port Elizabeth and Najd oil fields, is unique in the world. The little oil in Persia is really not worth mentioning.
As for iron ore, there are Pilbara and Iron Four Corners in southern Africa. The iron ore in Persia pales in comparison. The grade is not high and it is difficult to mine, so only the British can appreciate it.
As for the copper mine
Southern Africa, which has the Upper Katanga copper belt, is the international price setter for copper mines. Not even Stoudemire looks down on Persian copper mines.
So the current situation is really not caused by Persia. The neglect of southern Africa also has a lot of responsibility.
"Persia is an important country on the coast of 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?" Roque has not been so angry for many years. Some officials in southern Africa
, ignoring the importance of Persia to the Persian Gulf. After all, Persia is also a regional power surrounding the Persian Gulf.
Yang Smozi tried hard 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 any major tasks. It only serves a small number of southern Africans in Persia, and the support provided by the federal government is too little.
The situation now is completely different from before. As the power of southern Africa expands, the influence of Britain and Russia on Persia is weakening. It is time to strengthen the position of southern Africa in the Persian Gulf.
Roque focused his work on Pahlavi.
Lisa Khan was very fond of Pahlavi. In his early years, he sent Pahlavi to Europe and the United States for education, 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 education methods in Europe and the United States.
One thing must be certain: if Persia wants to be truly independent, it must get rid of the colonial rule of Britain and Russia. This is a clear conclusion that Pahlavi came to after traveling around the country.
Now it is obvious that if you want to get rid of Britain and Russia, southern Africa is the best way.
After Pahlavi ascended the throne, he made tentative contacts with southern Africa, but he did not receive the commitment of the southern African federal government. Southern Africa did not want to fall out directly with Persia, Britain, and Russia.
Now times have changed, Britain is struggling to maintain itself under the threat of Germany, and Russia has been severely weakened 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 whether Pahlavi's determination is firm.
"I have ordered the demolition of three blocks around the Southern African Embassy, so that 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 Prime Minister Locke will definitely feel your Majesty's friendship." Johnny, the ambassador of Southern Africa to Persia, is of British origin. This is to better carry out work in Persia.
"No matter what your Prime Minister's request is, I will do my best to provide you with the most perfect service." Pahlavi was more determined than Lisa Khan. When Lisa Khan was in power, relations with southern Africa were good.
Times have gone bad, and the influence of southern Africa on Persia has actually been strengthening. The oil fields in southwestern Persia are basically monopolized by the Adan Company.
This was also the core reason that troubled Pahlavi.
Persia is still rich in oil and gas resources.
However, like the Sultanate of Najd, Persia does not have the right to operate oil and gas resources. Except for the Adan Company, Anglo-American Petroleum controls most of the oil and gas resources in Persia.
Unlike the Najd Oil Company, Anglo-American Oil was too greedy. Although it was a joint operation in name, its profits to the Persian government were only about 5% of the total profits.
This is still the distribution ratio before the war broke out.
Since the outbreak of the war, Anglo-American oil has not paid a penny to the Persian government for two consecutive years on the grounds that there is no profit.
This is obviously nonsense. After the war broke out, the price of oil continued to rise. The Najd Oil Company’s profit dividends to the Najd royal family almost doubled, but Anglo-American Oil claimed to be in a state of loss. This is obviously treating Pahlavi as a fool.
.
Pahlavi hoped to use the help of southern Africa to drive the British and American oil companies out of Persia.
"Your Majesty, I can't give you any guarantee, but I can contact Adam Oil and Najd Company, as well as Minister Matilda. You can contact the Minister directly." Johnny was cautious. Southern Africa does not lack Persian oil.
.
But Johnny would be happy if it could cause some trouble for Anglo-American Oil Company.
Henry went to Persia with Roque, and he had to wait to meet Henry.
Port Elizabeth is close to Persia. As soon as Johnny called, the general manager of Adam Oil Company, Gouda, flew to Tehran that night.
Gouda is Gordon's son, and he has a very good relationship with Gavin. He has worked at Adan Oil Company for more than 20 years. After Gothe retired, Rock appointed Gouda as the general manager of Adan Oil Company.
Facts have proved that Gundam lived up to Rock's hopes.
Unlike Roque and others of his generation, when Gundam joined Adan Company, Southern Africa was already a powerful country, so Gundam didn't have much respect for the royal family towards Pahlavi, and his mentality was similar to ordinary business activities.
.
"Anglo-American oil treats the Persian government very harshly. The Persian government does not get the profits it deserves from oil exploration. Last year, Persian oil workers went on strike. Anglo-American oil mobilized troops to suppress it, killing hundreds of people. This is a good opportunity for us.
." Johnny picked up Gundam at the airport, and after getting in the car, he began to introduce the situation in Persia.
"Can the Persians tolerate it?" Even if Johnny didn't introduce it, Gundam was very aware of the situation of Anglo-American oil.
After all, they are peers. Although the operating conditions of Anglo-American Petroleum are not as good as those of Adam, they still deserve the attention they deserve.
"His Majesty Pahlavi must be very angry, but British and American oil bribed Pahlavi's generals, and Pahlavi had to swallow his anger." Johnny knew more inside stories, and Pahlavi probably forgot how his father was
of the king of Upper Persia.
Lisa Khan started his career through a coup and overthrew the Qajar dynasty.
Now that Pahlavi has ascended the throne, he has lost power, which is really sad.
"Rhode should be interested in this news." Gao Da chuckled. Rhodes is Luo Yi's son and now serves as the general manager of the Umbrella Company.
Unconsciously, the second and even third generation of southern African Chinese have replaced Rock and his generation and become the backbone of southern Africa.
The old guys are now retreating to the second line, or retreating to the mountains and forests to entertain their grandchildren. Their era is coming to an end.
"War is the bottom line, unless there is no other choice." Johnny didn't want to go to war. If the Umbrella Company came forward, there would be nothing to do with diplomats like them.
"I'll wait until I see His Majesty the King." Godard was not in a hurry. It depends on how determined Pahlavi is.
Pahlavi still attached great importance to Gundam and took the initiative to entertain Gundam in the palace. Among the people accompanying him was Swift, the deputy general manager of the Anglo-American Petroleum Company.
Adan Oil always pays attention to British and American oil.
Anglo-American Petroleum did not dare to take the industry giant Adan Petroleum lightly. When Gouda came to Tehran, Anglo-American Petroleum paid close attention to it. Swift came uninvited, but Pahlavi did not dare to turn him away.
The reason Pahlavi invited Gouda to Swift was to solve the remaining problems in the Khuzestan oil fields.
Swift is also interested in Khuzestan.
Khuzestan has the richest oil and gas resources in Persia. After being predatoryly developed by major oil companies, Khuzestan's oil fields were once depleted and were abandoned by major oil companies. As a result, Adan Company took advantage of it.
After the rational development of Adan Company, Khuzestan's oil production is now rising steadily. The combined output of Anglo-American oil fields in the world is not as high as the output of Khuzestan oil fields. This makes Anglo-American Petroleum sad.
Unlike Anglo-American Petroleum, Adan Company originally bought out the oil development rights in Khuzestan, but it was the Qajar Dynasty that signed the agreement with Adan Company, which left room for Pahlavi to maneuver.
The Qajar dynasty has now been destroyed, and theoretically the agreement needs to be re-signed.
Pahlavi also tried, but was directly rejected by Adan Company.
Adan Company has already paid money for the oil fields in Khuzestan. Although the amount is very small, Gouda does not want to discuss this issue again.
No matter how much power he lost, as the king of Persia, Pahlavi's palace would certainly be splendid and magnificent, worthy of his status.
Gundam's attention was not at the banquet. This was the first time Gundam came to Tehran since he became 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. It has only been 20 years, but the hierarchy has been solidified, there are many ills, the whole country has no vitality, and it seems to be on the verge of death.
Like all the last dynasties, the vested interests of the Pahlavi Dynasty are unwilling to share the benefits, the emerging interest groups do not get the power commensurate with their strength, and there are various external pressures from the British and Russians. The arrival of the southern Africans is a
An opportunity to change the status quo.
"Sorry, I don't want to talk about any issues related to Khuzestan. There are no problems in Khuzestan itself and there is no need to discuss it. The reason why I came to Tehran is to prepare for the arrival of Uncle Locke. There is no commercial purpose." Godard's absence has nothing to do with it.
It's a waste of time on people, and it doesn't give Swift any face.
"You'd better be like this, southern Africans, this is Tehran, not Port Elizabeth!" Swift said without any polite words. Without the suppression of Adan, Anglo-American Petroleum would be where it is today.
