After the Soviets launched their super cannon last time, Yannik asked the Finns to negotiate peace with the Soviet Union. Finland sent representatives to Moscow one after another, expressing its willingness to cede a small village near the border.

Of course Stalin refused to do it. The Soviet army suffered more than one million casualties in this war, but in exchange for a small village covering an area of ​​several square kilometers? No one would be able to accept it.

Just when Stalin planned to completely bulldoze Finland with the "Soviet Hammer" cannon, the cannon exploded!

Stalin was extremely angry. He spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, and it took several years to build the "national artifact", so it was destroyed like this? ! What made him most intolerable was that the cannon was not destroyed by the enemy, but exploded by itself!

Angry and angry, he immediately ordered everyone in the cannon factory, from the person in charge to the ordinary workers, to be packed and sent to Siberia.

Then it was awkward.

Keep fighting?

Although the Mannerheim Line of Defense in Finland was breached, the Soviet army was still unable to move forward, and had to pay heavy casualties every few meters it advanced.

But it would be really unsatisfactory to just call a truce and negotiate a peace.

Just when Stalin was hesitant, Sweden issued a statement saying that the Swedish government had recently purchased 50 of the latest tanks and would provide support to Finland in the near future.

This is simply a threat.

Stalin was hysterical, knocking over everything in the office, yelling for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to sign the armistice agreement. After the efforts of the Soviet diplomatic department, Finland agreed to cede an area of ​​about 20 square kilometers. In the Soviet-Finnish War in the original time and space, Finland lost more than 40,000 square kilometers of territory, and now it has only ceded 20 square kilometers, which is like a joke. Of course, this war really made the Soviet Union the laughing stock of the world.

After being depressed for several days, Stalin asked Molotov to go to Germany and urge the two Soviet aircraft carriers. Because Molotov did not dare to tell Stalin that Germany had seized the two Soviet aircraft carriers after he went back last time. He just used the excuse that they needed sea trials for technical adjustments, so he was sent here again.

After hearing Molotov's purpose, Yannik nodded and took out a top-secret document from the drawer. "Show this document to Stalin." This document is an agreement signed between Britain and the Soviet Union. It is an agreement that allows the Soviet Union to attack the German rear in exchange for India. "Tell Stalin, this is the price of betrayal. Want to stab me in the back? Be careful I stab him in the heart. If he refuses to accept it, I will be with you at any time."

Molotov smiled slightly awkwardly. "If you really say that, Comrade Stalin would be furious."

Yannick sneered. "Tell him to hold his anger back to me."

At this time Anne came in and reported. "Your Highness, King Reza Khan and his son have arrived."

"Invite them to the living room No. 1." After giving the order, Yannick stood up. "That's it, Lord Molotov. Please wait here for a while. I have asked Reinhard to pick up Svetlana. You two, father and daughter, can have a good time catching up."

When he mentioned his daughter, Molotov's eyes turned slightly red and he nodded in thanks. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Yannick nodded and went to the drawing room No. 1.

After the outbreak of World War II in the original time and space, the Shah of Iran, Reza Khan, declared Iran neutral, but did not restrict Germany's activities in Iran. He refused to adjust his foreign policy. Even after the Soviet-German war broke out, he still did not accept the opinions of some far-sighted subordinates who wanted Iran to declare its side with the Axis powers.

The Soviet government repeatedly requested Iran to clamp down on the activities of German agents, but Reza Khan did not take the necessary measures. In accordance with Article 6 of the Soviet-Iran Treaty of February 26, 1921, the Soviet government sent troops into Iran on August 25, 1941; British troops entered Iran from the south in accordance with the Anglo-Soviet agreement. On August 27, Ali Mansour's cabinet fell.

A few days later, in accordance with the proposal of the Soviet Union and Britain, the new government led by Ali Forouj passed a resolution to expel the embassies and spies of Germany and its slave countries from Iran. Reza Khan resisted the implementation of this resolution and refused to completely break off diplomatic relations with Germany, so he abdicated on September 16 and handed the throne to his eldest son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

It can be said that the Iranian royal family is Germany's die-hard ally.

Arriving at the reception room No. 1, Yannick met an old man in his 60s and a young man in his 20s.

The two were not wearing traditional Iranian clothes, but well-cut suits.

Reza Khan started Iran's secularization process since he took office, because he believed that Iran must get out of autocratic ignorance and the control of Christianity in order to be strong. So after he came to power, he took the initiative to learn from the West, set an example by himself, started wearing suits, drinking foreign wine, and learning English. And implement constitutional monarchy, fully implement democratic representation, and secularization in the country.

It continues to break Christian traditions, prohibits women from covering their faces, prohibits polygamy, and improves the status of women so that they can enjoy the same rights to education and work. In Iranian education, we should abolish religious education and comprehensively study Western technology and culture. At the same time, relying on the West, it continues to attract foreign investment, exploit oil, increase the country's income level, and focus on developing basic industries to strengthen the country.

It can be said that the reason why King Pahlavi came to power and quickly made Iran rich was because of the good foundation laid by his father. With these foundations in place, after his son Pahlavi came to power, he continued to deepen secularization and continue to promote reforms. Moreover, Pahlavi went further, directly nationalizing the oil resources, and fully implementing the White Revolution, hoping to completely eliminate the influence and control of Islam and make Iran a modern developed country...

After more than 50 years of hard work by two generations of father and son, Iran has grown from a poor and weak country that was divided and bullied by foreign powers to become the most powerful country in the Middle East and the ninth richest country in the world. The people's income is very high, the economy is developing rapidly, and women's liberation has achieved great results. In the 1970s, Iran not only achieved equality in women's rights, but also women could do all men's jobs and enjoy everything equally.

Therefore, Iran as a whole became the most modern and wealthy country in the Middle East. At that time, even people from Saudi Arabia and other countries had to go to Iran to work and study. This is the result. It can be said that according to this result, Reza Khan and his son can definitely be called a prosperous age, called the Pahlavi Prosperity. Because in another 20 years, Iran will be completely a developed country and extremely rich.

However, despite rapid development, there are also many problems at the national level, such as the widening gap between the rich and the poor and serious corruption.

But these problems are encountered by almost every country in the development process, and no country can escape them. Therefore, by gradually changing and adjusting the distribution structure during development and improving the rule of law, this problem can be solved. The prosperity of the entire country, the improvement of people's income, and the improvement of life are the most fundamental.

But Iran's frustrated classes, the entire clergy, only magnified these shortcomings. The constant advocacy of the gap between the rich and the poor, the constant advocacy of King Pahlavi's corruption, the constant exaggeration of the King's violence and waste, and the intoxication with money, etc., have made the middle- and lower-class people in Iran begin to feel dissatisfied.

And with the clergy's constant fueling and adding fuel to the fire, a large number of people began to take to the streets to demonstrate. They wanted to overthrow this government with a huge gap between rich and poor and establish a perfect government. So the people rose up and launched a revolutionary revolution, overthrowing the king. However, after the success of the revolution, they did not see the establishment of a perfect political power, but instead ushered in the complete regression of the country.
