386 Uday wants to be a contemporary president
Is the president's life or death unknown? Hearing this, Zhang Feng felt a little big.
Saddam Hussein in history, this kind of thing never happened during this period! Even in later generations, the United States has been pursuing Saddam's whereabouts, didn't he still live for several more years? The three holes of the cunning rabbit, Dad's judgment of the danger is very clear, why did he suddenly come out and be bombed, and then the life and death are unknown?
Intuitively, Zhang Feng didn't believe it was true.
"Is the news true?" Zhang Feng asked.
"Now that Baghdad is under martial law, it is difficult for our internal intelligence officers to send information, but previous intelligence has indicated that this morning the president's motorcar was hit by a car bomb waiting there while passing a bridge over the Tigris River in the city of Baghdad, and the body was blown into the river, and until now, the car has not been recovered. Half of the time, the president has already met with an accident. Yured said.
The city of Baghdad, wounded by a car bomb? Zhang Feng shook his head, what kind of place is Baghdad? It's an absolutely safe place that Daddy has built over the years, and who can succeed in assassination? As soon as a new face entered Baghdad, Barzan would dig deep into the ground to find it.
Inside, I'm afraid there's a problem!
"Who did that?"
"There is no exact intelligence, most likely, it is the Kurds, and recently the Northern Military District launched a series of rebellion operations against the Kurds, which could be revenge from the Kurds." Yured said.
Kurds? If those natives in the mountains can really accomplish such great things, will they still have great development in later generations with the help of the Americans?
No, Zhang Feng already has nine points of certainty, this may be a conspiracy.
Saddam, the leader of Iraq, if he suddenly dies at this time, it will be a very big loss for Iraq, and in a country like Iraq, during the Iran-Iraq war, a strong president is absolutely needed.
As soon as the president dies, all kinds of forces will surface, and the northern and southern military districts of Iraq will compete fiercely with each other, and now that the southern military districts occupy a large area of Iranian land, I am afraid that the military districts will want a greater distribution of interests, and if the front line of the Iran-Iraq war lacks a unified command, it will also be in trouble, and the Kurds will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
Not to mention, in Baghdad, there is such a brutal Uday who does not learn and has no skills, but thinks about the top, he will not give up this opportunity!
Could it be that this time the president was assassinated, not by the Kurds, but by Uday? Even Zhang Feng began to have this kind of thought, if you want to say that the Kurds can successfully assassinate the president, you don't believe it, but if it is Uday, it is difficult to say, although Uday is not smart, after all, he has been in Baghdad for many years, and has a certain grasp of the president's whereabouts, and he has begun to dislike the president.
However, I'm afraid that the person who Uday wants to assassinate is himself. Zhang Feng's mind was spinning rapidly, and countless possibilities flashed in his mind.
What if, if all this is true? If something really happens to the president, then the most important thing he needs to do is to take over power immediately!
Iraq cannot become a plate of scattered sand, Iraq needs a strong ruler, if Iraq wants to develop, to grow, to become a great power in the world, then it needs to be its own president! Zhang Feng firmly established this idea in his mind, with the full support of the Southern Military Region and the acquiescence of those high-ranking officials of the Northern Military Region, what capital does that Uday have to compete with himself? In the hearts of ordinary soldiers of the Northern Military District, they are the absolute gods of war and the ones who can lead them to victory.
Be prepared for this!
Of course, it's just to be prepared, and before the confirmed news, you must not act rashly, otherwise, your own behavior will be a naked rebellion.
I don't know if my brother will be so stupid.
"Movements in Baghdad continue to be closely monitored, and at the same time, all our armies have canceled their vacations and the army has moved to the first level of combat readiness." Zhang Feng said.
At the same time, Uday, who was in Baghdad, also received the news.
The message was brought by Shalabi.
Shalabi had already tied himself to Uday's chariot. The president had already seen him as Uday's man, so now, Sharabi's status is getting lower and lower.
Almost all the oil in the south has been taken over by the Southern Military District, and in the north, because of the Kurdish rebellion, the oil fields are directly controlled by the army, and the Shalabi are almost all hollowed out.
Therefore, if you want to gain more power, you can only gamble! Bet on your future and destiny, and bet on the young people in front of you!
Although the news was controlled outside, the news had already spread at the top of Iraq, that the president's motorvoy had been damaged by a roadside bomb explosion, and that the president's car, which had overturned down the Tigris River, had not been found yet.
When he got the news, Shalabi immediately knew that his chance had come!
It seems that the president is no longer working, and now in Baghdad, His Excellency Uday has enough reasons to take over the power of the president and govern the country temporarily, otherwise the country will be in chaos.
"Your Excellency Uday, Your Excellency the President was assassinated this morning, and his fate is currently unknown." Shalabi said.
Assassination of the president? A happy smile appeared on Uday's face: "This is really good news! β
Saddam Hussein was Uday's father, and in any case, Uday had to show some sadness. However, since Uday lost power, facing his inconspicuous younger brother who took away his power step by step, Uday has become full of resentment towards his father, and when this resentment accumulates to a certain extent, it will explode.
Looking at Uday's smiling face, Sharabi suddenly had an ominous premonition, this Udai was so abnormal that he didn't hear the surprise of the president's assassination at all, it couldn't be that Uday did the assassination of the president, right?
Uday's scheming is so deep that he didn't see it before?
In the whole incident, Uday was the most wronged one, he really didn't do this kind of assassination of the president, and in the end, he was blamed for the black pot.
Uday's affair finally illustrates a truth, a sound personality is very important. Arrogance is always a loss.
"Let's go, let's go to the Palace of the Republic at once." Uday said.
"What for?" Shalabi hasn't reacted yet.
"Find Adnan, Rashid, and get them to support me, and at the same time, give Qusay an order to come to Baghdad at once." Uday said.
Shalabi's brain can't keep up with Uday's speed, what does Uday want to do? Is his mind a little too simple? Looking for Adnan, Rashid, will they support him? And give orders to Qusay, what authority does he have to give orders? Now Uday is just a sports minister!
Sarabi felt that this time there was some danger of capsizing.
"Say, Who sent you?" A voice asked.
In the dark basement, a man who was tortured by poison was questioned.
His eyes were red and swollen, and his body was covered with blood, but he was stubborn and refused to speak.
Barzan peeled off a grape, put it in his mouth, and said, "Don't you want to say it?" Then let you taste something new! β
Suddenly, there was another cry of pain from the basement that tickled the roots of the teeth.
After the Kurds blew up the car, the men assigned by Barzan and Watban were dispatched as soon as possible to arrest the Kurds, and all but one team missed, and the rest were captured.
The car was finally recovered, but the president inside was gone, and the bodies of the secretary and driver in the front row were still there.
While the search for the bodies continued, they began to torture the captured Kurds, who were already the eighth man.
The first seven, all of whom died of torture and torture, did not reveal the slightest secret, which annoyed Barzan a little.
You know, Barzan is the best at interrogating prisoners.
After being once again awakened from his coma by cold water, the Kurdish man finally began to lose his mind, and he was muttering a man's name in a blurred voice.
Uday!
This Kurd, he is shouting the name of this person.
Barzan was shocked, could it be that the president's judgment was correct, and Uday really contacted Iran and the Kurdish rebels?
Thinking of watching Uday grow up since he was a child, and remembering that he once vacationed by the sea with the president and his family, Barzan felt a little heartache, did he really dare to do such a thing? Assassinating his father? Is this true?
In later generations, Barzan was a die-hard Saddam subscriber, and he was Saddam's half-brother, even though Saddam Hussein had always been suspicious of his relatives around him, and he had always trusted Barzan. When Barzan was 18 years old, that is, in 1968, when the Arab Baath Socialist Party came to power in a coup d'Γ©tat, Barzan jumped into Saddam's political circle, and since then, he has followed Saddam Hussein closely and become an important high-level figure.
For Barzan, it was difficult for him to accept that Uday would dare to assassinate the president.
However, Barzan knew that he had to get the facts straight and report it to the president, and as for how the president decides, it was up to the president to decide on it.
Uday came to the Palace of the Republic and immediately "summoned" the core personnel to the meeting, Defense Minister Adnan, Republican Guard Commander Rashid and others arrived, but they did not find the Minister of Security and the Director of Intelligence.
Uday's order had no effect, but they all remembered how Uday had taken a gun and wanted to shoot Shalabi, and they still came to the meeting.
In this, Adnan is fully aware of the inside story.
"Now that our country is on the verge of danger, I have decided to temporarily exercise power in place of the president, and at the same time, I will order Qusay of the Southern Military District to immediately return to Baghdad to discuss together." Uday said.
Do you decide? You have bird power! The people below thought.
