Chapter 1106: The Big Picture is Settled

This is to come over to pick the peach, Allen Wilson immediately guessed Dulles’s idea, Mossadegh has not yet been captured, but the direction of the political situation in Iran is already obvious, for Mossadegh, the defeat has entered the countdown.

At this time, Dulles, with the respect of the director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, traveled thousands of miles to the Middle East. The purpose is naturally to personally visit the front line to let Iran, a Middle Eastern power, into the arms of the United States, rather than contributing money and effort to add a servant state for Britain.

Thinking for half a day, Alan Wilson decided to inform the Pahlavi about this matter, people are on the way, he did not say it.

“Your Honorable Majesty, I believe that in a few days you will be able to return to loyal Tehran. Things have had occasional ups and downs, but in the end it turned out well.” With a genuine smile, Alan Wilson appeared in front of King Pahlavi to express his congratulations to the ruler of Iran.

“Is there a result already?” Pahlavi was overjoyed, obviously much stronger than the wilting when he first arrived, maybe people are happy when they are happy, that’s what it says.

“Of course, Britain also wants the Kingdom of Iran to stabilize.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said with a suggestive tone, “Britain is a monarchy anyhow, and in no way will it overthrow another monarchy.”

In terms of national attributes, Alan Wilson is right, and the most appropriate listener for such words is to the head of a country like Pahlavi, in fact, Alan Wilson is very contradictory.

Iran’s future is presumably going to be brought under the control of the United States, and taken from Britain.

Alan Wilson should report hostility toward Iran and should hope for the future overthrow of Pahlavi. But there are fewer monarchies in this world to overthrow one, and every monarchy is likely to be on good terms with Britain.

From this point of view, it is again better for the Kingdom of Iran to exist. What a dilemma of expectation.

He then informed Pahlavi of Dulles’ arrival, which was in one way a proof that the situation in Iran was so settled that surprises were no longer likely.

“Thank Allah, my people, my army, and you.” A smile finally appeared on Pahlavi’s face as he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Alan Wilson, “You are friends of Iran.”

“Of course, the indestructible kind.” Allen Wilson mused at that, “About the handling of Mossadegh? This man is not our favorite, and he could be made a fool of by the Soviet Union if he lives, he refused His Majesty’s warrant this time, and he won’t be obeyed in the future, and I can judge that Mossadegh is a dangerous man, and if not dealt with seriously, it won’t serve as a deterrent.”

“But Mossadegh is supported by many people.” Pahlavi hesitated a bit, he could understand the British hating Mossadegh, though?

“Adding this one makes it even more imperative for him to die, Mossadegh is still the husband of the former princess right? No wonder there is so much support.” Alan Wilson narrowed his eyes, there was no such thing as heaven, he believed that Pahlavi understood this.

Mossadegh had already rebelled against Pahlavi once, was he waiting for a second time? The monarch should think from the monarch’s point of view, leaving a prime minister with such a large support, to make trouble for himself?

“Iranian sanctions will not end until he dies.” Seeing Pahlavi’s face with hesitation, Alan Wilson coldly emphasized that if Mossadegh was overthrown and Britain still clung to it, it would be the same as loading up all the people on Pahlavi’s side of this coup to sell it, and as for what the consequences would be, Pahlavi could think for himself.

As long as the Iranian sanctions have not been lifted, Alan Wilson can so speak to the monarch of a Middle Eastern country, Pahlavi’s side is far less than Mossadegh’s support, if Mossadegh is ousted, the sanctions are still not lifted? How to explain to the Iranian people?

“I also have to take into account what the people think.” Pahlavi’s conscience is slowly dying, yet he is still struggling in vain.

“I’ve only seen people one by one, never any people.” Alan Wilson said with an old-fashioned air, “What people? Can you make a mess of a tank?”

Eventually Pahlavi was persuaded that a decisive step should be taken against Mossadegh, who was spying on the artifacts.

Before Dulles reached Basra, word came from Tehran that Mossadegh had surrendered to the coup forces.

This could not help but make Allen Wilson grin, to be honest, this to also belonged to the normal, when Sukarno faced Suharto’s coup d’état, he also chose to surrender in the end, and the father of Indonesia’s nation did not show how much he would rather die than give up.

However, Alan Wilson really hope that Mossadegh can rather die than submit to a hand, but the result is such a result.

The situation in Iran in the past few days, first Pahlavi had to give some kind of king’s order, screwed things up, and ran away directly under the counterattack of Mossadegh.

Now it’s Mossadegh who, in the face of the coup army, took one look at the situation and surrendered directly. This kind of behavior from two of Iran’s major power figures really blows Alan Wilson’s mind as a representative of imperialism.

“Surrender and die!” Alan Wilson repeats the British position that hostility to Britain definitely has a price, “Anyone who confiscates British assets and then says they’re sorry and pretends it didn’t happen? Then Cuba did the same thing, why did the US plan the Bay of Pigs landing?”

Meeting Dulles for the first time, Allen Wilson, when asked about the handling of Mossadegh, came right out with a rhetorical question to the director of the CIA, which embarrassed Dulles a bit, who orchestrated the Bay of Pigs landings.

Almost immediately Dulles had a bad opinion of the junior counterpart, but automatically demoralized at the thought of what the man’s father-in-law and wife represented respectively, saying, “The United States also understands the British anger at Mossadegh.”

“We also believe that Britain and the United States are on common ground in this matter.” Alan Wilson took out the list he had already prepared and said with a murderous look on his face, “Take advantage of this opportunity to uproot the Iranian political scene of figures who may be favourably disposed towards the Soviet Union, as well as the military, which may be supporters of the People’s Party, the Masses, and the trade union organizations.”

“Now that we’ve done it, now is not the time to hesitate; it’s only right to drive our greatest enemies out of business.”

Dulles also did not expect this small peer to kill so much, if Allen Wilson is an American, that is not even have nothing to do with him, fortunately it is the British.

The list included six ministers along with Prime Minister Mossadegh, Foreign Minister Hossein Fatemi and others. Important leaders of the National Front, important figures of the Iranian People’s Party, as well as heads of mass parties and trade union organizations total more than a hundred people, every one of whom is on the list of mandatory killings.

“I would suggest a one-two punch, right now, while the Soviet Union is not reacting. All boil down to chaos.” Alan Wilson said to Dulles with excitement on his face, “The next bigger cleansing campaign can be slightly delayed, according to my estimation, the scale of the cleansing should be around ten thousand people, as for the rest, we can mercifully release them.”

Dulles laughed out loud, the British pointing out in front of him, in his eyes is very much like a resentful woman who has found a chance to vent, but the United States has achieved its goal, although it should have been achieved years ago, and it is now a little too late. But after all, Iran had been brought into the sphere of influence of the United States.

It was not a good time for Dulles to bother Allen Wilson, he knew Britain was trying to vent.

And it did need to be done, in the case of Iran, since Britain had gone soft, the United States would have to deal with the Soviet Union next, and there was nothing wrong with Allen Wilson’s assertion.

“Congressman McCarthy’s friend is indeed a fighter for the free world as well.” Dulles did not mince words in his praise.

“Of course, I firmly defend the free world.” Allen Wilson raised his eyebrows, his look full of conviction.

Allen Wilson knew that Dulles must be very pleased right now and was in the midst of the arrogance of a victor. Obviously letting Britain suffer a stifling loss, but also to watch himself show the special relationship between Britain and the United States, his heart must be very happy, right?

But kill Mossadegh is Britain and the United States together, at the same time on the Iranian pro-Soviet forces to start cleaning is also together. To Mossadegh advocated to bring back the oil resources, but was met with such a fate, even if it is dead, there will be a large number of sympathizers.

With British power ebbing from Iran, it will be up to the Americans to face this hostility independently from now on. The U.S. could support the Pahlavi and hold the U.S. interests in check with heavy-handed rule, but the greater the pressure, the more violent the eruption would be.

Plus, Kennedy also gave away an Aramco oil company, and the US didn’t do so at no cost.

Worse and worse, it would add a lot of extra costs to the U.S., as well as increase the hostility of the Iranians toward the U.S. that could never be eliminated.

“If Mr. Wilson doesn’t mind, how about we, along with the Pahlavi King, take a trip to Tehran?” Dulles offered to propose, ostensibly to let Britain experience a moment of victor’s joy.

And in reality Dulles meant to let the British witness a victory that belonged to the Americans.

The fact was now clear that America was the victor of this tangle. But the United States was willing to share some of the glory of its victory with Britain, to facilitate standing with the United States against the Soviet Union in the next operations.

“I am very willing and very honored.” Allen Wilson also knew what Dulles was thinking, but pretended not to know and directly agreed to Dulles’ invitation, as if he was truly delighted by the victory.

Dulles nodded his head, he had already judged that Allen Wilson, like the general British, was certainly trying to preserve British interests as much as possible, but when it came to the Soviet factor, he would still firmly stand with the United States.

Dulles could understand his old father’s reluctance to withdraw from the stage of history, which needed to be hammered home from time to time. By the time Britain’s national power had fallen to a level, I believe the British accepted reality.

After leaving Tehran for four days, this time Pahlavi finally ended his short exile, accompanied by the intelligence chiefs of Britain and the United States, embarked on the return journey in a hesitant manner, without any previous woes.
