Chapter 066, Badr's Discontent

"What do you say? He didn't see me? In a large hotel reopened in Basra, the Baath envoy was furious, "You are so arrogant, I will convey your arrogance to the commander-in-chief, General Simon, and the party leader, His Excellency Hussein." ”

Badr's face was not good, but he still comforted the envoy Ferham: "The Prophet has a strange temper, and it is difficult for us to convince him, but I ask for your understanding." ”

"Prophet? It is ridiculous that you should call him a prophet, no one can be a new generation of prophets except the great Muhammad, there is only one prophet in the Islamic world, Badr, are you no longer bloody? Fersam was furious, "I always thought you were a bloody Iraqi soldier, but I didn't expect me to misjudge you." ”

Hearing this, Badr's face was extremely ugly: "What can I do?" Sheikh Assad is the most influential person in Basra, everything in the Badr Brigade is under his control, and now that Chinese has become the son-in-law of Sheikh Assad, and now he is half Iraqi! ”

"Won't you convince Sheikh Assad? Are you going to let a fertile piece of land like Basra fall into the hands of outsiders? Are you willing to bow down like this? Fersam asked rhetorically.

Badr was silent for a few minutes before he said, "Do you want me to betray Chief Assad?" ”

"He is no longer a pure Muslim, he is a Muslim whose heart is towards outsiders, you should stop him, Badr, you have turned your back on your faith, you are a false believer, your heart has begun to be corroded." Fersham sneered.

"Huh." Hearing this, Badr couldn't help it, "Is the Baath Party, which has oppressed Iraqis for decades, very pure?" If that were the case, General Simon would not have fled Iraq for Iran with the Republican Guard's most elite mechanized infantry division during the Iraq War. ”

Fersham was suddenly blocked and lost his temper, during the Iraq War, many Republican Guards disappeared without a trace, and Badr was also a member of that collective disappearance, but he was not a general at that time, and after the establishment of the Badr Brigade, in fact, this general was also self-appointed by him.

However, Simon is indeed a famous general in the Republican Guard, participated in the Iran-Iraq War, fought two Gulf Wars, in the history of Saddam's rule, Simon climbed from a pawn to the position of general, and his troops were used as trump cards in any war.

It's a pity that this trump card was not favored by Saddam, just like the former Iraqi Air Force, just because Simon was not Saddam's descendant, so he was almost removed and imprisoned by Saddam many times, but every time war came, Saddam would use Simon again.

It can be said that Saddam Hussein loved and hated Simon, but in addition to the army, basically the people did not know General Simon, and most of the credit was assigned to the supreme commander of the Republican Guard, Qusse Hussein, who is now the actual controller of the Baath Party, the second son of Saddam.

Despite this, in many wars, Simon has never disappointed Saddam, so in the Republican Guard, all soldiers have high respect for General Simon, even more than the Supreme Commander and Saddam himself, but in the life-and-death Iraq War, General Simon, who never let Saddam down, let him down.

Badr vaguely remembers that he was just a small officer at that time, and when the US troops landed in Iraq and broke through several important border towns in Iraq in a row, the 300,000 elites of the Republic were deployed outside Baghdad, and everyone's faces were full of despair, and more generosity, they wanted to fight the last battle for this country, even if they died on the battlefield.

But no one expected that Simon did not give a desperate order that night, but gave an order that no one could imagine: "When you receive this order, it may seem incredible, but after careful consideration, I decided to give all my friends who have followed me and shed their blood for this country a chance to choose." ”

Simon used a friend, not a subordinate, or a soldier, and Badr remembered it clearly and will never forget it for the rest of his life.

"You can stay and fight, you can lay down your arms, surrender on the spot, and if you still believe me, you can follow me to Iran."

This order caused an uproar in the entire Republican Guard at that time, General Simon was about to defect, almost at that moment, the despair on the faces of the people who got this order was even thicker, everyone knew that General Simon was the kind of general in the Republican Guard, who rarely had a human touch, but he was loyal to the Baath Party without complaint from beginning to end, no matter how Saddam tortured him and imprisoned him.

No, in his own words, he is loyal to Iraq, not to any one person or party.

"Is even General Simon going to abandon Iraq?" This was the common idea of everyone at the time.

In just an instant, the entire Republican Guard collapsed, and Badr vaguely remembered the scene of that night, everyone was completely demoralized, as if they had lost their souls, some put down their weapons and prepared to surrender to the American troops on the spot, some followed General Simon and left, while others felt that they stayed and continued to fight.

You must know that at that time, Saddam Hussein asked Simon to serve as the deputy commander of the Republican Guard, and Simon only used a brief order to make the 300,000 Republican Guard, which Saddam Hussein was proud of, his last bet fell apart.

It was precisely because of this that the US attack on Baghdad went surprisingly smoothly, and it took only one forward battalion to occupy the whole of Baghdad, and even the top commander of the US army could not believe it at that time.

And this war in Iraq was fought much more smoothly than the war in Afghanistan, first of all, from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, the entire Iraqi air force did not send a single aircraft, which made the coalition forces very confused, and thought that they were all frightened.

The second is that when they attacked Baghdad, they were almost bloodless, and this is a fact, although they later paid a high price for the occupation of Iraq, but these miracles were written into the history of the American war as a textbook for military schools.

After the war, no one said that Simon was a traitor, which was almost recognized in the army, and it was because of his orders that he indirectly preserved the essence of the Republican Guard, and when the Iraqis Saddam Hussein fell, the Americans finally began to fight back in desperation only after the Americans were just for the oil on their land.

Badr is one of them, he belongs to the kind of surrender on the spot, but suddenly one day he found that the Americans are not saviors, they are not here to solve the poverty in Iraq, and the Americans' ** can not save the country, but let their original lives completely collapse.

The war in Iraq, a land of millions of dead and wounded, left behind devastation, left behind hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans, and these orphans launched a counterattack against the Americans in the future, and they followed one after another, like the Afghans, using their bodies as a cover for explosives, attacking the American army, attacking everyone who carried the American flag

"I'm sure Cousse just didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Mahdi army and brought General Simon back, right?" Badr sneered and said, "Without General Simon, you are nothing more than a bunch of scoundrels who only oppress your fellow citizens, and at this point, you are not qualified to insult the Prophet!" ”

If Badr had a lot of dissatisfaction with Canglong before, now his dissatisfaction has all disappeared, just because what Canglong gave, Saddam Hussein and the Americans can't give.

"Badr, you are already a heretic, you have betrayed the country, you have betrayed your faith, you are in a position not to turn back, and then you will have the whole Baath Party, the whole of Iraq in a frenzy of revenge." Fersam was furious, "We'll retake Basra, and we'll send you to the gallows!" ”

"Isn't it war?" Badr suddenly drew his scimitar from his side, "If you dare to invade here, I will beat you to the ground." ”

Al Faisam was taken aback by Badr's murderous appearance, and ducked away a little before he said: "Then you wait and see if your prophetic army is powerful, or our Baath Party's revival army is powerful, and see if General Simon is strong, or you are more powerful." ”

Seeing him like this, Badr pulled out his knife and walked in front of him, grabbed his collar and said coldly: "Don't be afraid, I will cut you off now, but since the Prophet came, I don't do such a thing easily, now you can go back and tell Kusse, and also tell my respected General Simon, if you want to invade Basra, you will be greeted by Basrah's knife first, And then the whole army of the Prophet and all the populace of Basra! ”

Fersham peed his pants in fright, and Badr didn't embarrass him, but sent him out of the country with the best specifications.

"This General Simon, it's really interesting." At the same time, Canglong was looking at the information presented to him by Su Su, and the conversation between Badr and Fersam in the hotel entered Canglong's ears almost word for word, and Simon's information was also collected on his desk.

"It's really capable." Su Su couldn't help but admire, "How do we deal with Badr, he obviously has a tendency to be dissatisfied with you." ”

"Processing?" Canglong shook his head, "Do you know why I held a meeting for you to discuss?" ”

Su Su looked puzzled, and suddenly realized: "You already knew that Badr was dissatisfied, so you magnified this dissatisfaction, and then"

"Yes, I want the envoy to tell him that what I gave them, Saddam Hussein couldn't give them, and the Americans couldn't give it, which is actually a kind of vigilance." Canglong smiled, "Now that he has come to his senses, why do you have to deal with him?" Now we're going to see if his knife is as sharp as he says. ”

"Insidious, cunning, black" Su Su immediately made another series, seeing Canglong frowning, Su Su hurriedly gave a thumbs up, "Wise!" ”
