"No, Bakhtaran is a traffic artery. The Iraqis have not slowed down yet. They can attack Kurdistan Province to the north and Ilam Province to the south. It is a piece of art for us. , is a big threat," Rafsanjani said.

Khomeini listened to the dispute between the two and knew that what they said had some truth, but they didn't realize that there was actually another way: attack in two places at the same time!Two fronts, blooming everywhere!

At this moment, Khomeini's eyes showed fanaticism again, Allah Almighty, please bless the most devout believers to win the final victory!

Chapter 4 and Three Taha-Yasin

Qusay sat at the large desk and carefully read the materials sent from various places. Although most of the things were decided by the subordinates, but when the president needed to make a decision, they were all sent to Mekhail. forwarded to him.

No one would believe that today's Iraq is run by Qusay, a young man under the age of 20.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Qusay pressed the answer button, and then he heard the secretary's voice: "Your Excellency Qusay, Your Excellency Yurid is requesting to see you."

"Let him in," Qusay said.

Yourid quickly walked in and said, "Your Excellency Qusay, we have conducted a meticulous intelligence work and monitored all officials in Baghdad."

Although Balzan was the director of the Iraqi Intelligence Bureau, and Barzan was also very supportive of himself, at the critical moment, Qusay was still willing to believe in the strength he had cultivated by himself.

"Let's talk." Qusay closed the file and listened to the news from his intelligence system.

"Most of the officials are relatively peaceful, but there are also a few who are somewhat abnormal. Among them, the most prominent is Taha, the number two figure in the Baath Party." Yurid said: "Taha is the veteran of the Baath Party. He is also the most loyal supporter of His Excellency the President, and has great influence in our Iraqi high-level, but now, Taha seems to have some doubts about you. He is secretly contacting some other people in the party. We speculate , he may mobilize other forces in the party to attempt a coup."

Yourid said very carefully, but now that His Excellency Qusay is in the position, he has to concentrate on dealing with everyone. His Excellency Qusay is in charge of the power, and this is a dangerous road to the top. OK.

Qu Sai held the pen in his hand and began to meditate.

Taha Yassin Ramadan, the No. 1938 figure of the Ba'ath Party, is not uncommon to see on TV in later generations.Taha was born in Mosul in 1958 and graduated from the Iraqi Military Academy in 1968.In the process of resisting the Qassem regime, after several ups and downs and exile, he was finally elected as a member of the regional leadership of the Baath Party in 1974 and 1969. In November 11, he was appointed as a member of the Revolutionary Command Committee. In March 1970, he was appointed as the Minister of Industry. In January 3, he concurrently served as Minister of Planning. In 1974, he served as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army (a militia directly led by the Ba'ath Party).Became a member of the National Leadership Body of the Baath Party.Gradually became the number one confidant of Saddam's non-relatives and friends, and became the number two figure in the Ba'ath Party.

Such a guy has a lot of influence in the military and in politics. If such a guy has a different heart and tries to launch a coup, it will be a big loss for Iraq. Many innocent people Lives will be lost, and many things that should not be shed will happen. Civil war is the most sad, especially the war among the Arabs. Qusay absolutely does not want to see this kind of thing happen!

For this important person in the party, one must not be reckless, otherwise, it will cause disastrous consequences.

If it is just a simple cleansing and all those who have colluded with Taha will be killed, then the strength of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party will be severely weakened. For the current situation, it is tantamount to cutting off an arm. However, if it is not resolved , if Taha really wants to rebel, the consequences will be even more serious.

This Taha must already know that the Saddam sitting in the Palace of the Republic is a fake, otherwise, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to disagree. Washed directly.

However, thinking of the Taha who followed closely behind Saddam in later generations, and the Taha who was finally captured by the U.S. military and executed by hanging, Qusay always felt weird. Anyone could rebel, but , this Taha, Qusay intuitively doesn't feel like it.

Saddam has become a fake, and Uday has disappeared. He has become a vested interest in this incident, isn't it?A thought popped into Qusay's mind, that Taha, wouldn't he think that he killed his father, killed his brother, set up a puppet, and became the actual ruler of Iraq, right?

Most likely it is!In order not to cause social turmoil in Iraq, Watban only notified a few people, Adnan and Barzan, who are relatives, and Rashid and Abid, who are also the core figures in Iraq. Orders from outsiders are all carried out by substitutes.

However, they did not inform Taha, the less people who know about this matter, the better.

Then, some people who often meet the president will definitely notice it, like this Taha who closely follows the president, must know that the president is fake, so Taha has this kind of reaction.

Perhaps, this person should be won over!Qusay thought to himself.

Taha is over 40 years old, and he is full of wisdom and experience. He has a mustache common to Middle Easterners, and his eyes are piercing. His years of military career have made him accustomed to wearing a military uniform, and his body is always Straight, his character is also upright.

However, Taha was a little restless. He walked back and forth in his room and kept thinking. He really wanted to find out the truth of one thing: where is President Saddam Hussein now?

Don't say it's in the Palace of the Republic!To hell with that claim!Taha has met the president several times. Although he looks and behaves alike, the look in his eyes is definitely not!The president's eyes are always very sharp. It was created after experiencing countless ups and downs. The person who needs to think about everything before answering is simply a puppet!He also knew that behind that puppet, the person who now holds real power must be Qusay.

Taha didn't ask Adnan and others. These people have always been united with the president. He doesn't believe that these people don't know that the president is fake. However, none of these people raised any doubts. There is only one possibility. They have already Standing on the front line of Kusay!The light on Qusay's body is too bad. The god of war in the Middle East is worshiped by countless soldiers, and his personal prestige may no longer be inferior to that of the president.

Adnan and others are relatives of the president. Intuitively, Taha believes that they will not murder the president, but Taha also feels that these people cannot be trusted.

Taha's unusual reaction naturally attracted the attention of many people who had the same idea as him. Suddenly, Taha found that there were many people around him. People inside and outside the party began to move. Taha was very sensitive. I feel that some of them are indeed careerists.

Baghdad is really a big pool of water. Before the storm comes, something will always surface. He remembered what President Saddam Hussein had said.

"If you have read the history of Iraq, you will find that it was either a shining guiding light, or it was trampled and ravaged by the iron hooves of the aggressors. Throughout history, it was either in a state of civilization, order, history and The forefront of the Arab countries is either under the yoke of the monarchy. This is because of the distinctive character of the Iraqi people, who are mountains and peaks, not plains and valleys."

Those passionate words shocked Taha a lot. Perhaps from that moment on, he became absolutely loyal to President Saddam Hussein in his heart. As for the president's son, Qusay is the successor that the president has deliberately cultivated. Man, if the president nods again, he will be unquestionably loyal to Qusay, but right now, he can't be sure.

But now that I am like this, it is also a good opportunity. Before the president returns, it is very necessary to help the president find out those people with different intentions who are in Baghdad.

Taha knew exactly what he was doing, but what if, in the worst possible way, it was Qusay who murdered the president, with the support of Defense Minister Adnan?

Taha shook his head, Adnan would not do that, he tried his best to let this thought disappear in his mind.

"Your Excellency Yassin, there are two officers from the Republican Guard outside to pick you up. They said that Your Excellency Qusay wants to see you." At this time, the butler came in and said.

Qusay, want to see me?Still send someone to pick it up?"Is it really an officer of the Republican Guard?" Taha asked.

"Yes, they have shown me their papers."

Taha felt bad, could it be that Qusay wanted to harm himself?So, it is still very dangerous to go by yourself this time, and you may not be able to come back. Uday is a living example.

not going?Taha ruled out this idea in his heart. If he didn't go, wouldn't he be afraid of that little guy who was less than half his age?He didn't do anything wrong, so why would he arrest him?Besides, if Qusay wants to harm himself, he has to see if the other elders in the party agree!

Those guys in the party didn't dare to hum when President Saddam wanted to kill someone, but the current Qusay doesn't have that prestige yet.No one hums about Uday's affairs, that's because Uday has done all kinds of bad things, and everyone hopes that he will be finished soon.

Thinking of this, Taha made up his mind, since Qusay came to invite him, he will meet the Iraqi God of War!

After getting in the car, Taha found that he did not know the two officers who came to invite him. Since Qusay entered the Palace of the Republic and intervened in the affairs of the North, some people from the Southern Military Region appeared in the Republican Guard. These two people, Must be Qusay's confidant from the south?

After passing through two intersections, Taha realized something was wrong. This road did not lead to the Palace of the Republic!

"Where are we going?" Taha asked.

"Baghdad Hospital." An officer said, "His Excellency Qusay will meet you there."

Chapters 4 and [-] The Jews in the Turkish Kurdish Partisans

Qusay looked at Saddam on the hospital bed. The man who used to be majestic and proud of the Middle East, the Saddam who still did not bow his head under the sanctions of the United States, now he no longer has that kind of high-spiritedness. Lying so still, without any consciousness.

Qusay looked at him, at this moment, time seemed to stop, there was no conspiracy, no war, and there was only the care between father and son.

Saddam went to see what happened at the place where he was killed. Everything was a coincidence, and it seemed to be destined by heaven.

"It was just a gunshot wound, not a brain injury. Why hasn't the president woke up yet?" Qusay asked.

The doctor in charge replied anxiously: "We have been treating the president for a long time. The operation lasted for nearly twenty hours and all the wounds were sutured. But we just discovered that the reason why the president is now in a coma is poisoning."

Although the attending doctor knew that after saying this, they, the doctors, would be responsible for negligence of duty, but he had to make it clear: "The bullet in the president's gun was smeared with a poison we don't know, it is probably It is self-made by local methods, and we have not found out the ingredients of this poison so far, so we cannot prescribe the right medicine.

After the operation, the president was unconscious all the time. At first they thought that the president had lost too much blood. However, after transfusing enough blood for the president, the president still did not wake up. They finally realized that the situation was not good. After repeated diagnosis, Finally got a diagnosis, the cause of the president's coma was poisoning!The poison can only come from the hit bullet.

They don't know that Assassin, as a long-established assassin organization, is located in a place like the Middle East. When Assassin's members assassinate important people, in order to ensure the success rate, they often poison their weapons , Although it has been passed down to the present, many ancient techniques have been lost, but their tradition has not been lost. The sniper wiped the venom on the warhead of each bullet before leaving.

It was originally intended to deal with Qusay, but in the end, by mistake, the bullet was shot into Saddam's body.The venom then began to spread, but because the venom was on the warhead for too long at this time, and the rescue was timely, a lot of blood in Saddam's body was lost, and a large amount of blood was transfused. The dilution did not cause Saddam to die, but this highly nerve-stimulating venom still made Saddam unconscious.

After the doctor finished saying these words with a pale face, he had done his duty. As for the punishment, he could only resign himself to fate.

If he was facing Uday, the entire hospital would have to walk ahead of Lao Sa and go to another world, but Qusay would not.
