MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 930 smoke billowing
Egypt, which has not abandoned Nasser's claim, is still the leader of the Arab world. In fact, if Serov said that the changes in Egypt after Nasser's death in history can be regarded as the Egyptian version of revisionism. The result was that Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was eventually taken away by Saudi Arabia. As long as Saudi Arabia does not die, Egypt is basically unable to take it back.
They are all pro-American countries, and Saudi Arabia has more wealth than Egypt. In this case, who would choose Egypt as the leader? Why? How many people do you have? Ninety-seven percent of Egypt itself is desert. Losing its leadership in the Arab world is very deadly. Egypt without leadership is a poor country with a population explosion and barren land. This is not a Suez Canal. can be saved.
However, for Mubarak, this mediation excluded Saudi forces from entering, and it was still not smooth sailing. In Egypt this month, under the blue sky and white clouds, the Sphinx lay quietly on his stomach, admiring the world. The Great Pyramid, people riding on camels walked forward safely. Look up to the miracle of a thousand years ago.
Cairo is a city with a very long history, where there are ancient pyramids, the Nile River that flows forever, the towering Cairo Tower, the sacred and solemn mosque, the all-encompassing museum and the elegant opera house. All this casts a classical and historical veil on Cairo. During this season, Egypt will welcome countless tourists, including European and American tourists who act alone, as well as tourists from the socialist camp organized by the state.
Compared with local tyrants like Saudi Arabia, Egypt is naturally not rich, but Egypt, whose political stance is inclined towards the Soviet Union, does not hate the stinky money of the bourgeoisie. Egypt also exports labor to European and American countries. Security depends on the Soviet Union, and the economy depends on Europe and the United States. There are many countries defined by this definition, and Egypt is just one of them.
Under this kind of scenery, representatives from Syria, Iraq, Iran, as well as North and South Yemen, were warmly welcomed by Mubarak. Cairo, the capital of Egypt, also knew that the country was mediating the conflict between North and South Yemen. This topic has become a big topic. Of course, people cannot see the entanglement of interests behind it.
The great unity of the Arab world cannot solve the problem between countries. Moreover, not all countries are composed of Arabs. Iran, which also participated in the mediation, obviously has a very harmonious relationship with North Yemen. The influence of Shiites still has a lot of radiation in Iran.
Iraq, as the first socialist country in the Middle East, has a majority Shiite population, and has a very good relationship with Iran. Syria is also a military ally valued by the Soviet Union, and every country is not easy to deal with.
According to the definition of a military power, this mediation gathered all the military powers in the Middle East, including Egypt. Which country does not have tens of millions of people, which country does not have hundreds of thousands of troops, which country does not have thousands of tanks? Which is not the Soviet Union valued countries with potential for development?
It cannot be said that the Soviet Union has never been optimistic about Egypt's potential, but the Suez Canal is too important.
Syria, Iraq, and Iran have different positions. The results of mediation are far from being as optimistic as the ordinary people on the streets of Cairo predicted, and the exchange of interests and games will not be less. There will not be a situation where Egypt waved its hand and other countries nodded, which only happened when Egypt declared war on Israel.
For the upcoming difficulties, Mubarak also made certain preparations. Of course, Egypt still gave sufficient courtesy to all countries in publicity, showing the unity of Arab countries. It's just that Iran doesn't buy it very much...
Iran is a Persian majority, and has a certain sympathy for North Yemen in consideration of historical traditions. But North Yemen is pro-American, Iran is pro-Soviet, and Iraq and Iran have a good relationship. In short, Mubarak's responsibility is never as simple as it seems, very chaotic, very chaotic...
"Egypt accepted Egypt's initiative and initiated this mediation. Of course, the fundamental reason for Egypt's agreement is that it cannot watch the civil war between Yemeni brothers. This is Egypt's responsibility as an Arab." Mubarak first put the Soviet Union When the flag was taken out, these countries did not all buy Egypt's account. But they are all pro-Soviet countries.
Iran and Iraq also used the system of the Soviet Union and were considered members of the socialist camp in a broad sense. Syria was an important military ally of the Soviet Union, and of course Egypt itself. This is the common ground of all participating countries. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is a prerequisite for any negotiation. Mubarak also understands this very well.
"Iran also agrees with the peace between the north and south of Yemen, but the peace plan should be more fair. I believe this is also Egypt's wish!" said the representative of Iran, "We all know the current situation in Yemen, which has a lot to do with British imperialism. Not only The loss of Yemen and Bahrain has also caused huge losses to Iran. The same is true for Iraq, and I believe Chairman Mubarak understands this sentiment. Thirty years ago, Egypt was invaded by Britain and France.”
Mubarak nodded. As the strongest country in the world at that time, the United Kingdom would naturally not let go of the important North Africa and the Middle East. Many countries present here are victims. Today’s situation is caused by the United Kingdom.
"This is of course our goal. Egypt will fully respect Iran's opinion. Of course, Iran has just said that the most important thing is fairness." Mubarak took the word fairness very seriously.
The relationship between Egypt and Iran is more complicated. Because of political reasons and geographical reasons, the relationship between the two is not destined to be very good, but if it is said to be irreconcilable and mortal enemies, it is not. Both countries are allies of the Soviet Union, and the definitions of the two countries are different. Egypt wants to be the leader of the Arab world, and Iran is a Persian country, which will not pose an essential threat to Egypt.
Egypt is focusing more on potential challenger Saudi Arabia than Iran. If this mediation can be successful, Egypt will gain a lot of prestige, which will also be a check on Saudi Arabia, whose money hegemony is getting stronger and stronger.
"Fairness is mutual, and we don't think there should be too many biased positions." The Iraqi representative's remarks were somewhat biased towards Iran. Whoever made the Shiites in the two countries have a lot of strength must make some kind of compromise. A generation of time, still can not resolve the religion that has existed for thousands of years.
The meaning of the two countries is not to make humiliating accusations against North Yemen, and to save the face of both sides of the conflict. This is certainly not an excessive suggestion, but Mubarak still will not easily agree, this is part of the game.
Egypt has a prominent position in the Middle East and the world, and its diplomacy is multi-faceted. Mubarak knew very well that Egypt can only show its status in the world by fully exerting its role as a major power in the Middle East and its unique influence on hotspot issues in the Middle East. Not just for the Soviet Union to understand Egypt's unique role, but also for the United States to see it.
"Celebrities in history do have some skills!" Shelov could see that this was Egypt's deliberate delay to resolve the positions of Iran and Iraq, not how much Egypt likes atheistic Yemen. It was the religious issue that forced Egypt to make a choice. That is, the general secretary could not understand the thoughts of the believers. Compared with atheists, the believers hated heresy more.
When Mubarak took over Egypt, he faced a severe and difficult domestic situation. The economy is sluggish, inflation is serious, debt is high, corruption is rampant, corruption is rampant, social security has deteriorated, and violent incidents have continued. It has only been a few years, and now Egypt seems to have regained some momentum. This historical celebrity is still a little revenge.
Shelov can only wait. He also has something to do. He has repeatedly provoked the United States, and now there are consequences. After all, Reagan was just talking shit. It wasn't just Yemen in the north and south that happened, it was just the first place that happened.
A separatist force appeared on the border between Thailand and Burma. This ethnic group believed in Christianity and continued to attack the government forces in Burma and Thailand to trace the source. Shelov quickly knew that this was a minority force absorbed during the British colonial process, but now the United Kingdom She can't take care of herself, Mrs Thatcher is still tearing at the National Federation of Trade Unions in the UK, so she shouldn't have the ability. Only Reagan has the ability!
The Malaysian military crossed the border to attack Thailand, because southern Thailand is the base of the Communist Party of Malaysia, and because the Communist Party of Malaysia has assisted the Communist Party of Thailand in the changing situation in Thailand, the Thai government has always turned a blind eye to the activities of the Communist Party of Malaysia in southern Thailand, This time Malaysia crossed the border to attack the Malaysian Communist Party, which also intensified the contradiction between the two countries.
The Philippine government forces, under the command of American advisers, cleared the areas occupied by the New People's Army of the Philippines. Just a week after the communist uprising in Central America in Honduras, after entering the stage of stalemate from the 1970s, this was still the head of the Philippine government. So many troops were dispatched at one time to attack the New People's Army.
In the Horn of East Africa, the situation in Ethiopia is not calm, and the wave of separatism in Eritrea is resurgent. This is what Serov can't understand the most. Ethiopia's population is fifteen times that of Eritrea, but it has been unable to solve the local separatist forces. Serov doubts whether the Soviet Union is Unlucky to support a leader like peanuts.
Almost wherever the results of the Soviet global offensive were unstable, the tide of anti-Soviet forces surged. These places are relatively obvious areas. Sudan and Mozambique are not particularly stable, but they can remain generally stable.
Let Zweigon contact countries that are unstable, and some special agents have gone to these countries. Only by seeing it with their own eyes can there be a solution. The real news still needs two-phase verification, and it is not enough to rely only on local intelligence personnel.
