It was a busy evening.

The Tigris River flows slowly, and although the climate in the Middle East is very hot, on both sides of the river, it is the birthplace of ancient civilizations, and now it has become a metropolis.

Baghdad.

In the 18th century B.C., Baghdad was mentioned in the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, and it was still an important town.

Later, the Abbasid dynasty of Arabia, known as the "Black Food", moved its capital to this small town called Baghdad on the right bank of the Tigris River, and after that, Baghdad became one of the most famous cities in the Middle East.

The ancient story of the Thousand and One Nights also emerged from here, and after thousands of years of development, Baghdad has also experienced round after round of baptism.

In 1921, Iraq became independent.

However, this independence was only nominal, after all, at that time, Iraq had already discovered oil resources, how could the Western world allow such a country to become independent?

In Iraq, there are still British garrisons, and the whole of Iraq is actually still a British colony!

As an ancient cultural country with a proud history, Iraqis have been waiting for an opportunity, and now, their opportunity has finally arrived!

"It's time for us to avenge King Ghazi!" In a villa, a man looked at his henchmen and said loudly: "That damned Nuri deserves to go to hell, now, let us punish him as the spokesman of the true God!" ”

Iraq's nationalist, politician, Rashid Ali, at this time, is in high spirits.

The situation in Iraq is also quite complicated.

On the surface, Iraq is a kingdom ruled by a king, but like many countries, the king is here to appoint a prime minister to govern, and the current Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Saeed, is definitely an ambitious person.

In 1929, King Faisal I appointed Nouri as Prime Minister, which was opposed by the British at the time. However, it was just after Nouri became prime minister that he began to serve the British, and Nuri signed the Anglo-Iranian Treaty of 1930. It was this 25-year treaty of alliance that allowed Iraq to become a British colony again, and Britain still had permanent military rights after Iraq's independence.

Later, after King Ghazi came to power, Nuri was in the opposition, but he was quite unwilling, and actually staged a coup d'état, assassinated King Ghazi, and supported Ghazi's four-year-old son to govern, and the power fell into the hands of Nuri.

This aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and at Gazi's funeral, many people were chanting, "Nuri, you will be responsible for Ghazi's blood." However, Nuri had the support of the British, coerced the Son of Heaven, and ordered the princes to do very chic.

Now, it's finally your chance!

Britain has been conquered by Germany, and this Nuri is still fantasizing that George VI can return to power, still loyal to Churchill, and now, he has reached the end of his life!

Rashid Ali is a man who understands, and he has already made a deal with the Germans.

Germany has already ruled Western Europe, and the world will eventually belong to Germany, and Iraq has long wanted to get rid of British rule!

The terms given by Germany were quite good, that Iraq could take back part of the oil exploitation rights in the traitorous treaty 10 years ago, which was about 50 percent, but now the British Petroleum Company is extracting a large amount of Iraqi oil, and Iraq is not getting any benefit.

Political, economic, military conditions are excellent for Iraq, not to mention the most important reason for revenge for the king.

If the most important reason is that Rashid has long been impressed by a set of German theories, he is extremely eager to bring German methods to Iraq and form the Iraqi National Shzy Workers' Party!

"General Rommel's troops will march into Baghdad in two days, and we have to do something before he comes to Baghdad." Rashid continued.

In front of him, everyone else was also in high spirits.

The pro-German "Golden Phalanx" officer group, primarily the "Big Four", is four Iraqi military colonels: 3rd Division Commander Salah al-Din Sebagh, 1st Division Commander Kamil Shabib, Mechanized Forces Commander Hermi Saeed, and Air Force Commander Mahmoud Salman.

Now, all four of them, all in front of Rashid, this is a meeting that will decide the future of Iraq!

"I suggest that we launch a coup d'état tonight, capture Prime Minister Nuri and his minions, hang them all in front of the palace, and avenge King Ghazi!" Rashid continued.

If they do nothing, they will be able to change the political situation when the German army comes in, but this must be something that Rashid does not want to do, and he has to do something to show that his side is worthy.

Before the arrival of the German army, they did everything that had to be done!

"At the same time, we should also launch an attack on the Royal Air Force base in Habbania and teach the British a hard lesson!" Salah al-Din also spoke.

The British were still on the front line against Rommel's army, and they also relied on air support from the air bases in the rear, and the current Royal Air Force Base in Habaniya flew fighter planes every day to fight, and if they captured it, they would give Germany good support.

"Then the 3rd Division and the Mechanized Brigade will be in charge!" "Tonight, let's get our Iraq free again!" Rashid said. ”

Do it!

The bright moonlight shone on Baghdad, and in the moonlight, the Iraqi army, eager for freedom, finally sorted!

Camille took the 1st Division and went straight to the Prime Minister's Office.

With their rifles in their hands, Iraqi soldiers walked through the central avenue of Baghdad, the Prime Minister's Office, just ahead!

The guards of the Prime Minister's Office immediately noticed the anomaly, and they quickly closed the gate and sounded the alarm.

In the Prime Minister's Palace, Nuri, who was sleeping, was woken up.

"What? There was a coup d'état? Nuri was stunned for a moment: "It's really damned, how can they do such a blasphemous thing to the true god!" ”

Nouri seems to have forgotten that he also came to power through a coup d'état.

Iraq is a peculiar country, and in this country, coups d'état are endless, and throughout the twentieth century, I am afraid that it was only during the years when Silly Damu was in power that Iraq was politically stable.

Unfortunately, the Western world will not watch a stable Middle Eastern country emerge.

"Quick, defend our Prime Minister's Palace, call for help from the British army!" Nuri gave instructions immediately.

After graduating from the Istanbul Military Academy in Turkey in 1906, Nuri remained as a junior officer in the Turkish army, where he was posted to Libya in 1912 to agitate against the Italian occupation. Later, he participated in the Balkan War. After serving in the army for many years, now, drawing his pistol again, Nouri has regained the image of the radiant soldier he was back then.

The combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army is absolutely scum, they are easily agitated, and at the same time, they are easily shaken by the morale of the army.
