No, Zhang Feng is already [-]% sure, this, maybe it's a conspiracy.

No matter who heard the news, I am afraid they will panic. If Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, dies suddenly at this time, it will be a very big loss for Iraq. In a country like Iraq, it is During the Iran-Iraq war, a strong president was absolutely needed.

Once the president dies, various forces will surface. The Northern Military Region and the Southern Military Region in Iraq compete fiercely with each other. Now that the Southern Military Region occupies a large area of ​​Iranian land, I am afraid that the Military Region will want a greater distribution of benefits. If the front line of the Iraq war lacks a unified command, it will also be in trouble, and the Kurds will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Not to mention, in Baghdad, there is such a cruel Uday who is ignorant, but thinks of a superior, and he will not give up this opportunity!

Could it be that the president was assassinated this time, not by the Kurds, but by Uday?Even Zhang Feng began to have this idea. If the Kurds could successfully assassinate the president, he would not believe it if he was killed. But if it was Uday, it would be hard to say. Although Uday is not smart, after all, he Baghdad has been in Baghdad for many years, and he has a certain grasp of the president's whereabouts, and he has also begun to have an aversion to the president.

However, I am afraid that the person 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 happened to the president, then what he needs to do most is to take over the power immediately!

Iraq cannot become a mess. Iraq needs a strong ruler. If Iraq wants to develop, grow, and become a major country in the world, it needs itself to be the president!Zhang Feng firmly established this idea in his mind. With the full support of the Southern Military Region and the acquiescence of those senior officials in the Northern Military Region, that Uday, what capital does he have to compete with himself?In the hearts of ordinary soldiers in the Northern Military Region, they are the absolute God of War, the one who can lead them to victory.

Be prepared for this!

Of course, it's just to be prepared. Before there is no confirmed news, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, your own behavior is naked rebellion.

I don't know if my brother would be so stupid.

"Continue to closely monitor the movement in Baghdad. At the same time, all our troops have canceled their vacations and entered the first level of combat readiness." Zhang Feng said.

At the same time, Uday in Baghdad also received the news.

The news was brought by Chalabi.

Chalabi had already tied himself to Uday's chariot.The president has long regarded him as Uday's man, so now, Chalabi's status is getting lower and lower.

Almost all the oil in the south has been taken over by the Southern Military Region, while in the north, because of the Kurdish rebellion, the army directly controlled the oil fields, and Chalabi was almost emptied.

Therefore, if you want to gain more power, you have to gamble!Bet on your own future and destiny, bet on the young people in front of you!

Although the news was controlled from the outside, the news has already spread among the senior officials in Iraq that the president's convoy was destroyed by a roadside bomb explosion, and the president's car overturned the Tigris River, and it has not been found yet.

After receiving the news, Chalabi immediately knew that his chance had come!

The president seems to be dying, but now in Baghdad, His Excellency Uday has enough reasons to take over the power of the president and temporarily govern the country, otherwise, the country will be in chaos.

"Your Excellency Uday, Your Excellency the President was assassinated this morning, and his life and death are currently unknown," Chalabi said.

President assassinated?A joyful smile appeared on Uday's face: "This is really good news!"

Saddam is Uday's father, no matter how you look at it, at least Uday has to show some sadness.However, since Uday lost power, facing his unremarkable younger brother who took away his power step by step, Uday has been full of resentment towards his father, and when this resentment accumulates to a certain level, it will explode.

Looking at Uday's smiling face, Chalabi suddenly had an ominous premonition. Uday's behavior was too abnormal. He didn't even hear the surprise shown by the president's assassination. It wouldn't be the assassination of the president. What did Uday do?

Uday's scheming is so deep that he didn't see it before?

In the whole incident, Uday was considered the most wronged one. He really did not do such a thing to assassinate the president, but in the end he was blamed.

Uday's incident finally illustrates a truth, a sound personality is very important.Arrogance is always going to suffer.

"Come on, let's go to the Palace of the Republic immediately." Uday said.

"What are you doing?" Chalabi hadn't reacted yet.

"Look for Adnan, Rashid, let them support me, and at the same time, send an order to Qusay to come to Baghdad immediately." Uday said.

Chalabi's brain can't keep up with Uday's speed, what is Uday trying to do?Is his mind a little too simple?Ask Adnan, Rashid, will they support him?He also issued orders to Qusay, what right does he have to issue orders?Now Uday is just a sports minister!

Chalabi felt that this time it seemed that the ship was in danger of capsizing.

"Say, who sent you here!" asked a voice.

In the dark basement, a man who was tortured was questioned.

His eyes were red and swollen, and blood was dripping all over his body, but he was stubborn and still refused to speak.

Balzan peeled off a grape, put it in his mouth, and said, "Don't you want to talk about it? Then let you taste something new!"

Immediately, painful cries that made the roots of the teeth itchy came again from the basement.

After the Kurds blew up the car, the men assigned by Barzan and Watban dispatched immediately to arrest the Kurds. Except for one group that missed, the rest were captured.

The car was finally salvaged, but the president inside had disappeared without a trace, and the bodies of the secretary and the driver in the front row were still there.

While the search for the bodies continued, they began to torture the captured Kurds, the eighth.

The first seven all died of torture, and they didn't reveal any secrets, which made Balzan a little annoyed.

You know, Balzan is the best at how to interrogate prisoners.

After being woken up again by being splashed with cold water from a coma, the Kurd's sanity finally began to become confused, and he mumbled a name indistinctly in his mouth.

Uday!

This Kurd, he was calling this man's name.

But Balzan was startled. Could it be that the president's judgment was correct, that Uday really got in touch with Iran and the Kurdish rebels?

Thinking of watching Uday grow up since he was a child, and remembering that he had vacationed by the sea with the president and his family, Balzan felt a little heartbroken. He really dared to do such a thing?Assassinate his father?is this real?

The Barzan of later generations is a diehard Saddam Hussein, he is Saddam's half-brother, even though Saddam has always been suspicious of his relatives, he has always trusted Balzan.When Balzan was [-] years old, that is, in [-] when the Arab Baath Party took power in a coup, Barzan jumped into Saddam's political circle, and since then, he has followed Saddam closely and has become an important high-level figure.

For Balzan, the thought of Uday daring to assassinate the president was hard for him to accept.

However, Balzan knew that he must thoroughly clarify the facts and report to the president. As for how the president makes a ruling, it depends on the president himself.

When Uday came to the Palace of the Republic, he immediately "called" the core personnel to the meeting. Minister of Defense Adnan, Commander of the Republican Guard Rashid and others all arrived, but the Minister of Security and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau were not found.

Uday's order has no effect, but they still remember how Uday tried to kill Chalabi with a gun, so they still attended the meeting.

Here, Adnan is fully aware of the inside story.

"Now, our country is on the verge of danger. I decided to temporarily replace the president to exercise power. At the same time, I ordered Qusay of the Southern Military Region to return to Baghdad to discuss together." Uday said.

You decide?You have bird powers!The people below thought.

Chapter 387: Kusai returns to Baghdad?

The Kurds are definitely not as stupid as Saddam and Barzan thought. They have already thought of a series of tricks.

If Saddam can be successfully assassinated, that is the best. If he is caught, he will be tortured before revealing his connection with Uday.

This is to make the political situation in Iraq mess up!

They know that in Baghdad, there have long been rumors that Uday was snubbed by the president and Qusay was reused. It is not difficult for them to guess that the violent Uday will definitely be dissatisfied with the president and provoke them Father and son, if they turn against each other, it presents a good opportunity for the Kurds.
