Chapter 008, Hanging
Interestingly, the central government in northern Iraq issued a simple declaration of war, and then there was no follow-up, and the independence of Basra was only a matter of time before the central government of Iraq saw it, and the two sides had already torn their skins, but they had not really started to exchange fire.
And they know very well that without the support of the Americans, the government army will not want to win the prophetic army that has experienced the baptism of war, and the sea power that the Americans pay most attention to is gone, so what to fight? There was also a Confederate army in between.
Therefore, after the proclamation of the formation of a southern government in Basra, tensions arose in Baghdad, and only a minority of Iraqi people in the north opposed the establishment of a government in the south, and the majority of them agreed, and some even openly held demonstrations to demand the dissolution of the National Assembly and the expulsion of the Americans.
In the case of a situation that is not optimistic, the Baghdad government is simply unable to take care of the south, it is too late for them to stabilize the situation, and besides, the Americans have not taken any action, what can they do?
After a coup d'état, the Basra people became more united, and new Shia and Sunni leaders were soon elected, both of whom declared recognition of the Prophet as the nation's supreme spiritual leader.
As Canglong said, no one is irreplaceable, and the kind of people like Assad and Chiram who are completely replaceable, especially when Canglong, in the name of the prophet, appointed two leaders of the Sunni and Shiite factions as members of the Revolutionary Committee, the two factions were immediately convinced.
The legitimate Sunni and Shia parties began to form at the same time, and the whole of Basra swept away the gloom, making elections a top priority for the new state.
At the same time, Canglong did not block the news, but with an extremely enlightened policy, welcoming reporters from all over the world to come and interview, and the Prophet Army will ensure the personal safety of all reporters.
As a result, half a month after the independence of Basra, the streets were full of election fever.
In the past half a month, there have been disturbances and noises outside, but Canglong is very busy, in the words of Vivian, the interim prime minister, Canglong has done almost all her work, large and small, from administrative to military, all the documents he personally saw, and approved the solution at the first time.
Of course, Vivian didn't do nothing, in fact, she was much busier than Canglong, after all, officials large and small were arrested, and the new officials were not familiar with the situation, and it was very easy to deal with problems, so after she, the prime minister, got the instructions, she also devoted herself to it.
During this period, Vivian also persuaded Canglong to let go of some irrelevant officials and just make an appearance of those main characters, but Canglong blocked all the words: "If you want to kill, kill them all." ”
At that time, Vivian angrily scolded directly: "You deserve to be tired!" ”
Canglong didn't care, he insisted on going his own way, of course, he had to bear the consequences, and this consequence was that he had to deal with everything himself, and take the lead for the people below to get through this adaptation period.
Soon the councillors of the municipalities will be elected, and finally the final elections for the senators and the House of Representatives will be held, and when a formal government is formed, the Prime Minister will directly appoint the chief executives of the municipalities, as well as the main ministerial officials, from the Ministry of Defence, to the Ministry of Oil, to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and so on.
"Head, tomorrow is the general election, do you really want to deal with them?" Su Su's meaning is obvious, now Badr and they are still in custody, and they have not been hanged, according to Canglong's order, they will be hanged on the last day of the general election, to warn all the administrative officials elected the next day.
"Are you going to persuade me too?" Canglong put down the documents in his hand, his face was a little tired, although he was full of energy, he did everything himself, and he still felt a little lacking in energy, but now he had no one available under his hands, but there was nothing he could do.
"I'm not going to persuade you, I just hope that you, think about it, at least Assad you have to think about it, he is Amira's father, although you don't have the name of husband and wife, you already have a husband and wife." Su Su reminded.
"My decision will not change." Canglong said, looking at the documents again.
Su Su shook his head and said, "Amira is just outside the door, she wants to see you!" ”
Hearing this, Canglong's face changed: "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time, let her in." ”
Su Su smiled, then left the office, and after a while, Amira walked in, her face was haggard and her face was very pale, obviously she had tried her best to run these days.
Canglong put down the document in his hand and said, "Sit down." ”
"I want you to spare my father's life, please." Amira didn't sit down, and said with a crying face.
"Do you know what crime they have committed?" Canglong asked rhetorically.
"I know, I wanted to tell you that night, but I can't just watch my father," Amira said, and she couldn't stop crying.
"Then let me ask you, do you think your father's life is more important, or is this country more important?" Canglong asked coldly.
"The country is more important." Amira lowered her head and cried, "But he's my father."
"Yes, he is your father, but those who died in the coup d'état are also fathers, or will soon become fathers, if I let him alone, how can I serve the people? How will the government stand in the future? Canglong sighed, "You go back, my orders will not change." ”
Amira cried even more, she looked up at Canglong, wanted to say something and stopped, and finally could only bow her waist and salute, and then left the office.
Looking at his thin back, Canglong was a little unbearable, and finally called Su Su in: "You go and do something." ”
"Did you figure it out?" Su Su wondered.
"Do you know what I know about this?" Canglong said seriously, "I hope he disappears from my eyes forever." ”
"Oh, then why don't you just tell Amira?" Su Su said calmly, "Isn't this not much different from dead?" ”
"I don't care, you can deal with this matter, and I will restore your salary if it is done, and if I can't handle it, I will deduct your salary for a year." Canglong said, looking at the documents again with an irritated expression.
And Su Su was speechless, and said in his heart What does this have to do with me, it's obviously your own trouble, why are you deducting my salary.
But in the end, Su Su still didn't say anything, and left directly, and the next day, under the personal supervision of interim Prime Minister Vivian, in front of the new parliament building, all the coup d'état were hanged.
Vivien was accompanied by newly elected MPs and hundreds of thousands of people in Basra, and the entire parliament building was crowded.
There were even countless international news media who came to shoot and interview, and Basra TV carried out an all-round report on the incident, and many people thought that Basra was making a show, but now this scene is obviously to play for real, and all 109 coup d'état people have been escorted to the execution ground.
With Vivian's order, everyone was arrested and put on the gallows, and under the filming of reporters, first a dozen inconsequential people were hanged, and then it was the turn of those high-ranking officials, not to mention prisoners, even those who watched felt hairy.
Some executioners are directly frightened when it is their turn, and there are countless people who are scared to pee their pants, but this is the execution ground, there is no special treatment, whether you faint or pee your pants, it doesn't matter, in the end, you just need to put on a noose and die.
The newly elected members of Congress were terrified because if they dared to break the law in the future, they would also be hanged.
The calmest person on the scene may be Akram, compared to Chiram and Badr, Akram has a calm face, although he has lost a hand and is about to become a dead man, but he is not afraid, from the moment of rebellion, he is ready to be hanged, because he knows very well who Canglong is.
The executioner showed no mercy to the former high-ranking general of the Prophet's army, directly putting the noose on it, and then taking away the things that were padded, and Akram only struggled a few times before he was hanged, followed by Badr and Chiram.
After everyone had been hanged, Vivien ordered the bodies to be carried away, and at the same time issued a new decree that all those who had been sentenced to death would be executed in front of the Capitol, and that the gallows would remain here forever without being dismantled, as a wake-up call to all officials.
This trick still worked, and the Prophet Army held the world's cleanest record for decades after the unification of Iraq.
At the same time, after the hanging, agents of the Intelligence Service secretly escorted a man onto a plane, which was destined for China.
After watching the plane take off, Su Su finally settled down, the person who was sent away was of course Assad, the father-in-law of Canglong, in order to hide people's eyes, Su Su also deliberately found a death row prisoner to cushion his back.
Then he left the airport and went straight to Assad's original residence, where he saw Amira, who was staring blankly, and when he saw this poor woman, Su Su shook his head, and then took out a USB flash drive and handed it to her and said, "You can take a look at the contents and destroy them immediately after reading them." ”
Amira, who was in a state of distraction, reacted, watching Su Su leave, she picked up the USB flash drive, and then inserted it into the laptop, when she saw the video inside, Amira suddenly cried, crying and laughing
"Is it done?" Canglong asked.
"It's been done, it's been delivered" Su Su was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Don't tell me, I said, never let me see him, or I'll get him back and hang him." Canglong's tone was firm.
"The prime minister and executive officers may be elected tomorrow, and the army will also have to prepare?" Su Su asked suddenly.
"Hehe, don't worry, they can't choose." Canglong said with a smile.
"Why?" Su Su looked strange, "Could it be that you have other plans?" ”
"I have no other plans, but I'm sure they won't be able to pick them." Canglong said with a smile, "The army naturally has to prepare, inform Lao Hei and them, and hold a combat meeting tomorrow." ”
