At the beginning of the founding of China, due to Sam's blockade, not many countries in the world had diplomatic relations with us.

However, Iraq was definitely one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with my country.

On 14 February 1958, the Kingdom of Iraq and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan jointly formed the Arab Federation.

On July 14, 1958, a seven-? In the First Revolution, the new government announced its withdrawal from the federation and the establishment of the Republic of Iraq.

On August 2, 1958, the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan announced the dissolution of the Arab Federation.

On August 25, 1958, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Iraq, it began to dispatch ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Iraq.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, relations between the two countries have continued to develop. Since the 80s, there have been frequent political exchanges between the two countries, and economic and trade cooperation has been fruitful.

To put it bluntly, the two countries are in Asia together, and they are also countries that hate Sam. The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and it is reasonable to establish normal diplomatic relations.

Therefore, Wushan dared to cross the border directly from the Syrian border all the way into Iraq.

If he was alone, it would be better to say that Nina was unwilling to stay in Europe, so he had to take it with him.

The spies of Western countries in the socialist lineup, Wushan is not very clear, it is better to be careful.

If they want to go by plane, it is possible for them to plant time bombs on the plane in order to exterminate themselves.

Although he thought that he was super strong, he knew that if something happened at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it was estimated that he might have no other way to wait for death like other passengers.

Rather, from the Yugoslav border to Italy. From the Mediterranean, it's all down-to-earth. No matter what the risk is, even if it is with Nina. It can also be resolved one by one.

There were still some tails at the beginning of the road, but who is Wushan? Before leaving the Yugoslav border, he got rid of the people who were stalking, whether they were Western spies or not, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Arabic, which he can barely speak now, has Muhammad as a friend.

Baghdad at night, only to find that it is never as spectacular as it is seen from afar, after all, the country is short of electricity, and many places are dark and gloomy.

Access to the city. There has been a marked increase in military vehicles and servicemen.

Fortunately, knowing that the Wushan couple was going to the Chinese Embassy, there were people checking the post along the way, and when they looked inside, they waved their hands and let them go when they saw that they were yellow faces.

Baghdad is a gift from the Persians, meaning a gift from God, across the banks of the Tigris River, just over 30 kilometers from the Euphrates River, and is located on the main transportation route between the East and the West.

Railways, roads and air constitute a three-dimensional transport system of land and air. It's very convenient.

The railway runs north to Syria and Turkey and south to the Persian Gulf, and is also a must for the international Orient Express.

The Chinese embassy in Iraq is not on the riverside.

Several Iraqi soldiers standing guard saw the faces of the Chinese. Still very polite.

Zheng Jianying, Chinese ambassador to Iraq, personally came out to greet him when he heard the news.

It was an old man of almost sixty years old, not tall. The spirit is strong, and most of his hair is gray.

After all, it was the people who came over during the war years. At such an age, the waist is not bent or hunched. Walking is a tiger.

If ordinary people heard about Wushan's big money in Europe, it was too late to hide, who knows what the attitude of the upper echelons is towards this bold young man?

After all, he was a son of heaven and a courtier, and now he is the secretary of the East, and the older generation has gradually retired.

In this extraordinary period, if you can still be so enthusiastic about Wushan, you are either a person who is dedicated to the public, or you are a person who has a good impression of Wushan.

Ambassador Zheng's hometown is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so naturally he doesn't have much intersection with the Wu family, so he must be a person who really serves the country.

As China's ambassador to a country, it is inconvenient for him to express his attitude, both in private and in public.

But in my heart, why don't you want your motherland to be able to boast overseas?

Seeing that this posterior was so bold and reckless, and the whole mercenary came out, I didn't know how happy I was, and my face was full of smiles.

"Elder Zheng, I want you to help me contact the government of Lower Saiddam." The two sides sat down, and Wu Shan was not polite, and directly stated the purpose: "I want to talk to them." ”

"This ???" Zheng Jianying's face was a little embarrassed: "I'll let you be a little witch." Xiao Wu, it's not me who poured cold water on you, their relationship with Soviet Russia is not ordinary. ”

"So what?" Wu Shan smiled proudly: "Isn't our layout in Europe still able to arouse the vigilance here?" Besides, we still have friends in the Arab world. ”

"Well," Zheng Jianying still knows a lot about Yiqiē here: "However, after all, Muhammad is not from Iraq, but has an enmity with Saddam." ”

It's no wonder that this guy rebelled and killed all the previous royal families.

Despite their name, they are full of internal contradictions.

Saddam Hussein was a restless element, and now he has just finished his war with Iran and, on the established track, is aiming at Kuwait again.

On another level, Wushan's acquaintance with Dubai's royal family hindered Saddam's side.

"It's okay," he figured out the verse and waved his hand slightly: "Between countries, there is the same exchange of interests." ”

"What's more, Saddam Hussein is not so stupid, can't he see that Soviet Russia can't even control southeastern Europe?"

"Anyway, I'll try my best!" Zheng Jianying is also not an indecisive character: "Let's go, our restaurant is ready, ready to pick up the wind for the virtuous couple!" ”

Only then did he have the heart to look at Nina on the side, and he couldn't help but be surprised, she was definitely not Wushan's lover.

Occasionally return to China to report on work, have you heard of this kid's style? Flow, Fu Yi laughed at the time, and I didn't think it was true.

Obviously, Nina is so young, and he was very vague when he introduced it just now.

In Yugoslavia, despite the tense situation in the country, food was abundant.

In Iraq, the dinner was very simple, and there were only two kinds of meat, one was potato beef stew and the other was braised lamb chops.

After a night without words, I woke up the next morning with a simple breakfast, steamed buns, porridge, and a plate of pickles.

With the deepening of reform and opening up, China's economy has changed dramatically.

The embassy, as the face of China abroad, is certainly adequate in terms of cost.

It can only be said that food in Baghdad is severely scarce.

Zheng Jianying's efficiency was very fast, Wushan and Nina were walking in the courtyard, whispering, and a military attache surnamed Zhang from the Counselor's Office came to inform him to go immediately.

In fact, Ambassador Zheng was also confused, he didn't know who was going to receive him.

When he took Wushan in, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said softly: "The scale is still quite high, the old man is Vice President Ibrahim, and the young man is Quse." ”

Saddam Hussein had two sons, Uday in his sophomore year, and the younger son was Qusai in front of him.

Last night, Zheng Jianying introduced Wushan to the No. 1 family in Iraq.

Uday was supposed to be the successor of the interior, but last year, he beat to death Saddam's henchman and bodyguard Kamal, who tasted food on his behalf, because Kamal wanted to take Saddam's concubine.

When Saddam Hussein learned of this, he was furious and imprisoned Uday for 40 days. Although Saddam Hussein finally let him go, he was gradually excluded from the core of power by his father.

The boy was known for his brutality and had run the country's Olympic Committee.

This year, the Iraqi football team was in poor form during a match, and the players were immediately called by Uday to the basement of the Iraqi Olympic Committee headquarters after the game.

Uday first ordered the players to shave all their hair, and then beat the players one by one with a baseball bat.

Uday's girlfriend led a women's basketball team to compete in the Iraqi University Cup and was invincible and reached the final, but the final was lost.

Uday gave an order, and the poor women's basketball players were all shaved bald.

It is said that Uday once forced a team of track and field athletes to crawl on the freshly poured asphalt and whipped them with a wire rope.

What is even more appalling is that he also ordered his men to throw people from the bridge more than 20 meters above the ground.

Uday set up a prison for athletes who had offended him.

Although these were reported by later generations, there was inevitably the suspicion that Saddam Hussein had fallen and the wall had fallen and everyone pushed it.

But groundless wind may not be without cause, and it is true nine times out of ten.

He is younger than Wushan, born in 1964, and is only 25 years old this year, and he has reached such a high position.

The twenty-three-year-old young man in front of him was introverted, calm and sophisticated, and unassuming, which was deeply appreciated by his father.

It is strange that Qusse is not dressed in the same way as Ibrahim, he wears a suit, and Ibrahim is dressed in the traditional costume of the Arab nation.

In 1963, after the Baath Party failed in a coup d'état, Ibrahim and Saddam Hussein were arrested and imprisoned at the same time.

After the Baath Party came to power, Ibrahim rose through the ranks of Iraqi politics by virtue of his close relationship with Saddam Hussein and his rich political experience.

He has long been one of Saddam's cronies.

In 1979, Saddam Hussein was elected general secretary of the Baath Party and chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council.

Ibrahim became deputy general secretary of the Baath Party's regional leadership and vice-chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council, and from then on he became the second-in-command of the former Iraqi regime.

As for the situation in Iraq, his position in this regime surpasses that of Saddam's brothers and sons, and either he is very loyal to Saddam Hussein or has strong ability to do things.

Years in prison and fighting took a toll on Ibrahim.

Although he is a few years younger than Saddam, he is already old, and his slender figure looks a little weak.

He is introverted and steady, rarely comes out or speaks, and only appears when he is honored on behalf of the president or has important international conferences.

However, today Saddam Hussein sent these two men out to approach him, and this is worth playing.

Either way, these two men will play a crucial role in Saddam's decision.

Wu Shan thought in his heart, but he didn't stop for a moment, and followed Ambassador Zheng Jianying to meet him. (To be continued......)
