Sure enough, Gao Xian was not surprised. When kisinger received a report that Egypt was willing to have a direct dialogue with Israel, he was surprised and happy.
Because before that, the Arab world, including Egypt, and Israel had never talked but fought.
Now, there is a gap in Egypt. Kisinger is keenly aware that his Peace mediation in the Middle East is likely to make history.
Kee hsinge, who feels that Gao Xian will "explore the way", asks Gao Xian to go to Syria, another main war party in the fourth Middle East War, to see if he can continue to reap unexpected joy.
Both Israel and Egypt have passed the ditch. Gao Xian doesn't mind another hard trip to Syria.
After the special plane arrived in the Syrian capital Damascus, Syrian government officials also efficiently let Gao Xian meet his supreme leader.
Facing Syrian President Bashar al Assad, Gao Xian, like in Israel and Egypt, introduced himself in a low-key way: "Your Excellency, I am Gao, and I am here to listen to your voice."
The fighting situation between Syria and Israel is slightly different from that between Egypt and Israel.
Take the United Nations ceasefire resolution of October 22 as an example. It is only aimed at Egypt and Israel, not Syria and Israel.
On the front of the Golan Heights, Syria is ready to launch another large-scale counterattack. In addition to the five divisions of the Syrian army, there are two divisions of the Iraqi army and other small-scale Arab forces, including Jordan. The Soviet Union's support complements Syria's previous losses in the Golan Heights.
But Syria, which is ready to go, really can't completely ignore the UN ceasefire resolution.
To put it bluntly, previously, the Arab coalition forces attacked Israel on both sides and were overturned by others. Now the Sinai Peninsula front has stopped fire. It can be imagined how difficult it is to deal with Israel.
Under such circumstances, there have been differences within Syria, and the army generals advocate that it is all right to do; Opposition voices believe that if the original battle plan is maintained, Syria will face Israel with all its strength, and there is little chance of winning.
Therefore, Syrian President Bashar al Assad is extremely tangled, which means that it is difficult to ride a tiger. Seeing Gao Xian listen carefully, he is a little confused for a moment.
So Assad kicked the ball back, "I want to hear what information the special envoy has brought me this time?"
Gao Xian shrugged. "I just came to listen to the president's views as Dr. kisinger's personal representative. I didn't get instructions to convey special messages."
Assad frowned and said, "well, I might as well tell the special envoy that Syria is ready for a new round of combat."
"I see. I will convey Mr. President's meaning to Dr. kisinger as soon as possible." Gao Xian nodded, and the accompanying translators, consultants and other personnel began to pack up the paper and pens in front of him.
Assad looked unhappy and said, "is Mr. special envoy just a simple microphone? There is no point of view to express?"
Gao Xian explained carefully: "Mr. President, I am just a neutral businessman. This time, as Dr. kisinger's personal representative, I came to the Middle East to prepare for his upcoming visit. The situation in the Middle East is so complex. In addition, I am relatively unfamiliar with foreign affairs. Even if I have any ideas, it is not suitable to publish them out of cautious consideration."
Assad insisted: "I believe that since Gao can serve as a special envoy, he must be outstanding. Please speak freely."
"Well, I'll express some views from the perspective of my own businessmen." Gao Xian said slowly, "I think Mr. President already knows that the third Egyptian Legion is completely surrounded by Israeli troops in the desert area, and Israel provides fresh water and food for survival."
"If Syria launches another attack from the direction of the Golan Heights, Israel is very likely to destroy the third Egyptian Legion to free up troops and fight to the end with Syria."
"If the third Egyptian Legion is completely destroyed, Egypt will basically lose the ability to fight further, and this is still a humanitarian disaster."
"I think Syria and Egypt have brotherly feelings and should not want to see this result."
Assad said heavily, "yes, I really don't want to see this blow to my brother country."
After thinking for a moment, Assad put on an appearance of making a difficult decision. "The situation just mentioned by the special envoy is my concern."
"I have decided that Syria will stop its war plan and accept the UN armistice resolution."
Gao Xian lowered his eyelids slightly and thought to himself, "as expected, those who can achieve the supreme throne will not give it in vain. It is clear that they have already made a decision in their heart and take themselves as a step down."
James Baker, sitting next to him, leaned over and whispered, "David, this is a positive signal and can respond enthusiastically."
Gao Xian nodded slightly, "Mr. President, I personally admire your wise decision and will report this positive news to Dr. kisinger as soon as possible."
Assad offered his hand, "Mr. special envoy, it's hard."
On his way out of Syria, Gao Xian integrated all his sources and slowly realized that it also confirmed the historical trend.
The reason why this situation now occurs is not only because Israel makes Arab countries recognize the reality of invincibility with its fierce combat effectiveness, but also because Arab countries such as Egypt and Syria are estranged from the Soviet Union.
Egypt, needless to say, has fallen out with the Soviet Union; On the Syrian side, we should abandon the previous policy of completely relying on the Soviet Union and start trying to swim between the Soviet Union and the United States.
In the final analysis, people have selfishness, and each country has its own calculations. The seemingly powerful Arab coalition has been dragged away by the ruthless current situation.
This is supported by Gao Xian's fourth stop, Jordan.
King Hussein made it clear that although Jordan sent troops, it did not want the war to happen.
"I believe your Majesty's words are from the bottom of his heart and will be truthfully conveyed to Dr. kisinger." Gao Xian, who listened carefully, immediately expressed his position and began to look for opportunities to "do private work".
King Hussein, who has been assassinated countless times, is an upright ruler who is extremely good at surviving in the cracks. Under his administration, Jordan is only a small country in the Middle East. Especially after Israel occupied the rich West Bank in the third Middle East War, it can be said that it has no chips.
Even so, King Hussein can still put economic development and improving people's lives first in the war-torn Middle East.
In the 1970s, King Hussein is pursuing a free economic policy, relaxing restrictions, encouraging private investment, striving to introduce foreign capital and foreign advanced technology, promoting industrial and agricultural infrastructure, education and tourism, and expanding labor exports.
Therefore, even if Jordan is not an oil-rich country, there are still good business opportunities.
In Gao Xian's view, Iran, which is difficult to get rid of the fate of "change", has a way to make money in only five or six years, and Jordan, a small paradise, also has a way to make money.
Therefore, during the meal, Gao Xian asked King Hussein about business investment.
King Hussein said with great pleasure, "welcome Gao to invest in Jordan."
There is oil at home, full of confidence, and then pay more attention to the high string of looking for and creating opportunities. He promised in person: "when I finish my special envoy's job, I will arrange the Ministry to visit Jordan and build a high-end hotel first."
James Baker and his entourage were not surprised at this. They just made a small goodwill reminder of Gao Xian's increasingly fierce "private work" behavior when they visited Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other oil-rich Arab countries.
Gao Xian explained bluntly: "although the mission of our trip is to prepare for Dr. kisinger's Peace mediation in the Middle East, the work content should not be confined to the fourth Middle East war."
"We have also seen that the Arab oil producing countries led by Saudi Arabia have begun to impose an oil embargo on the United States, which will inevitably lead to a series of serious world economic problems."
"We take the opportunity of this visit to do more work such as testing attitude and collecting intelligence. Dr. kisinger will certainly be happy to see its success."
Everyone was fooled by the high string, so that when they came to Kuwait, their work enthusiasm reached the highest.
However, this "fig leaf" was soon torn off by Gao Xian, who was unwilling to end his trip immediately and had to go to Iran.
Gao Xian continued to speak eloquently: "although Iran is not on the list of our visit to the Middle East, you must know the abundance of Iran's oil reserves. By contacting Iran, you can also check and balance the Arab countries engaged in oil embargo!"
These people who travel with Gao Xian are all highly educated social elites. It's not so easy to be fooled again and again and make a good look of today's weather.
James Baker pulled Gao Xian aside and said, "David, we are spending the money of American taxpayers on this trip. If we go to Iran beyond the plan, the extra expenses will be held accountable, and these people may be tainted and affect their promotion."
"Otherwise, the trip to the Middle East will be successfully completed according to the original plan. In a big deal, you will take the report back to the White House and give it to the Secretary of state. I will accompany you to Iran."
After listening to James Baker's suggestion, Gao Xian frowned slightly and muttered in his heart, how can that be done!
You know, Gao Xian takes a special plane with his entourage. He doesn't usually have a card. No matter where he goes, he is received by local officials and local American diplomats, and can meet the local top leaders at the first time.
Gao Xian will never give up such a rare opportunity to pull the tiger skin and the flag.
Otherwise, if Gao Xian goes to Iran by himself, even if he can see the powerful class such as king Pahlavi, it will take a lot of unnecessary effort.
After thinking about it, Gao Xian slapped twice, attracted everyone's attention, and then proposed: "I know everyone's ideas are very reasonable, but the trip to Iran is not meaningless."
"Do you think it's good? I've covered all the expenses, including aircraft fuel. You just need to work as hard as before. If time permits, you can relax a little in Iran, which can be regarded as a reward for your tired body and mind."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian's face showed a proud look, "even if you don't know my real financial resources, you should have heard more or less that I have the largest continental shelf oil field in North America in the Gulf of Mexico. With the Arab countries beginning to embargo oil, the value there has risen, which can only be calculated in billion US dollars."
"By comparison, how much more can the trip to Iran cost than originally planned? 200000 US dollars? 500000 US dollars? Or 1 million US dollars?"
Everyone was immediately restrained by Gao Xian's words of wealth and prestige, and showed their intention one after another, turning their eyes to James Baker with tacit understanding.
Seeing this, James Baker comprehensively broke the deadlock and took the lead in saying: "the trip to Iran is really valuable. Let's take David's advice."
"Please report to the White House on this matter, inform the Kuwaiti embassy and contact the Iranian embassy."
Seeing everyone obediently taking orders, Gao Xian smiled, "it's nice to have money. It can not only make Mo push ghosts, but also let these American elites work."
Gao Xian's abacus was really loud. When they arrived in Iran, they not only received 800 dignitaries from the American embassy and the Iranian government, but also met King Pahlavi, the current supreme ruler of Iran, with the fastest efficiency.
After arriving in Iran, Gao Xian has seen how lively Iran's obviously westernized secular society is at this stage!
For example, with the rapid rise of Iran's national strength and the great achievements of King Pahlavi, the year before last, that is, in 1971, King Pahlavi spent $100 million to set up a thorn in Iran's ancient capital and held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 2500 anniversary of the establishment of the Persian Empire.
As for the luxurious life of Iran's dignitaries and all kinds of drinking places in society, there is no need to complain too much.
Gao Xian quietly inquired that after Iran had no gambling franchise, he couldn't help thinking secretly and suggested that he Hongshen, who had always been interested in expanding his business, could make quick money for a few years.
King Pahlavi really had a good face. He understood Gao Xian's visit to Iran as his respect for him and his attention to Iran, and his hospitality to Gao Xian was more enthusiastic.
In this case, Gao Xian reveals his idea of doing business, which is naturally a smooth road.
So far, Gao Xian not only found industrial investment opportunities in some countries he visited, but also successfully fooled the rich Middle East Royal family and bought his own fund.
However, it must also be pointed out that his Middle East trip could not keep a low profile, and finally attracted the attention of the media.
In this way, the information of Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao for help was quickly transmitted to Gao Xian by taking the opportunity.

In a big deal, you will take the report back to the White House and give it to the Secretary of state. I will accompany you to Iran."After listening to James Baker's suggestion, Gao Xian frowned slightly and muttered in his heart, how can that be done!You know, Gao Xian takes a special plane with his entourage. He doesn't usually have a card. No matter where he goes, he is received by local officials and local American diplomats, and can meet the local top leaders at the first time.Gao Xian will never give up such a rare opportunity to pull the tiger skin and the flag.Otherwise, if Gao Xian goes to Iran by himself, even if he can see the powerful class such as king Pahlavi, it will take a lot of unnecessary effort.After thinking about it, Gao Xian slapped twice, attracted everyone's attention, and then proposed: "I know everyone's ideas are very reasonable, but the trip to Iran is not meaningless.""Do you think it's good? I've covered all the expenses, including aircraft fuel. You just need to work as hard as before. If time permits, you can relax a little in Iran, which can be regarded as a reward for your tired body and mind."Speaking of this, Gao Xian's face showed a proud look, "even if you don't know my real financial resources, you should have heard more or less that I have the largest continental shelf oil field in North America in the Gulf of Mexico. With the Arab countries beginning to embargo oil, the value there has risen, which can only be calculated in billion US dollars.""By comparison, how much more can the trip to Iran cost than originally planned? 200000 US dollars? 500000 US dollars? Or 1 million US dollars?"Everyone was immediately restrained by Gao Xian's words of wealth and prestige, and showed their intention one after another, turning their eyes to James Baker with tacit understanding.Seeing this, James Baker comprehensively broke the deadlock and took the lead in saying: "the trip to Iran is really valuable. Let's take David's advice.""Please report to the White House on this matter, inform the Kuwaiti embassy and contact the Iranian embassy."Seeing everyone obediently taking orders, Gao Xian smiled, "it's nice to have money. It can not only make Mo push ghosts, but also let these American elites work."Gao Xian's abacus was really loud. When they arrived in Iran, they not only received 800 dignitaries from the American embassy and the Iranian government, but also met King Pahlavi, the current supreme ruler of Iran, with the fastest efficiency.After arriving in Iran, Gao Xian has seen how lively Iran's obviously westernized secular society is at this stage!For example, with the rapid rise of Iran's national strength and the great achievements of King Pahlavi, the year before last, that is, in 1971, King Pahlavi spent $100 million to set up a thorn in Iran's ancient capital and held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 2500 anniversary of the establishment of the Persian Empire.As for the luxurious life of Iran's dignitaries and all kinds of drinking places in society, there is no need to complain too much.Gao Xian quietly inquired that after Iran had no gambling franchise, he couldn't help thinking secretly and suggested that he Hongshen, who had always been interested in expanding his business, could make quick money for a few years.King Pahlavi really had a good face. He understood Gao Xian's visit to Iran as his respect for him and his attention to Iran, and his hospitality to Gao Xian was more enthusiastic.In this case, Gao Xian reveals his idea of doing business, which is naturally a smooth road.So far, Gao Xian not only found industrial investment opportunities in some countries he visited, but also successfully fooled the rich Middle East Royal family and bought his own fund.However, it must also be pointed out that his Middle East trip could not keep a low profile, and finally attracted the attention of the media.In this way, the information of Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao for help was quickly transmitted to Gao Xian by taking the opportunity.
