Chapter 122 Becoming Prime Minister
In the history of Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri is definitely not a decent character, he assassinated the former king, controlled the little king, and after the victory in World War II, he returned to Iraq as the spokesman of the British, and has a bad reputation for suppressing the people.
Now, Prime Minister Nuri's good days have come to an end.
His face was as dead as ashes, and he was escorted by several Iraqi soldiers, step by step towards his own end, just in front of the royal palace in Baghdad, a gallows, which had been erected.
The sky was slowly brightening, a fiery red sun was revealing in the east, and the people of Baghdad, awakened from last night's turmoil, suddenly found that Iraq had changed!
Prime Minister Nuri, the soldiers who were taken by the coup d'état to the front of the palace to be hanged, when the news spread, many people opened the doors of their homes and went straight to the palace, so in front of the palace, there were more and more people.
Rashid also came, and at this time, he was dressed in military uniform, looking at the more and more citizens, and he began his speech: "This sinner in front of me is our traitor in Iraq, who sold our Iraq to the Western world, and assassinated our king, and today we will hang him!" His soul will not go to heaven, but only to hell! ”
Nuri looked at Rashid and spat fiercely: "You are the traitor, you will be punished by history, you dare to kill me without any judicial trial, history will not forgive you!" ”
That's the end of Nouri's words, an Iraqi soldier picked up the bayonet in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and stirred it so hard that blood flowed out of it, and Nuri could no longer speak.
"King Ghazi, I really hope you can see all this, your revenge is finally avenged!" Rashid shouted, looking at the eyes of those present, tears welled up, the former king Ghazi is missed by many people.
Gazi, the second king of the Faisal dynasty, lived in the harem since he was a child, and developed a shy, shy, and indecisive personality.
After the death of the old king, the British thought that Ghazi would be as easy to control as the previous old king, and that he would be a king who would not achieve anything.
However, after Ghazi came to power, he showed his true colors of "unwilling to be lonely". He first supported the military in a coup d'état to overthrow the civilian government; Later, it announced that it would annex Kuwait and reclaim the oil exploitation rights, but the relationship with Britain became more and more stiff.
As a result, he was in the prime of life, but he left in a car accident, and the folk version has already made people believe that this Prime Minister Nuri is really damned!
"Execution!" Rashid shouted.
The two soldiers dragged Nuri to the front of the gallows like a dead dog, and put the rope on the head of the effort, Nuri's body trembled, he wanted to resist, but he was unable to dodge, the rope became tighter and tighter, his body stood upright, and then, the two soldiers let go.
The rope continued to rise, and the hard foot, off the ground, his feet fluttered and fluttered vigorously, and his hands, grasping the rope, tried to lower himself, however, he still did not succeed in the end.
In his throat, he couldn't breathe, his face began to turn blue, his tongue spit out, and his body slowly became stiff.
Nouri's life ended like this, and his front, the putschist Rashid, was satisfied.
If you want the coup to succeed, do you have to be ruthless, don't kill the enemy, and wait for the other party to return to trouble you later? Rashid absolutely understands this.
The morning sun shone the fiery red sunlight on Nuri's body, and his shadow, stretched very long, shone on the gate of the palace.
At this moment, the gate of the royal palace suddenly opened.
The five-year-old king is definitely still a child, but this child is also sensible, his father died mysteriously, and everything was controlled by his uncle, how could he not know!
After Ghazi's death, Ghazi's son, Abdul Ira, succeeded him as Faisal II, because he was so small that almost all of the power was actually controlled by Nuri Saeed.
Now that Nuri is dead, the man above his head is finally gone for Faisal II, and the only person he can rely on is the person in front of him.
"Rashid, you are the new Prime Minister of our Kingdom of Iraq." Faisal II said: "All that you have done for the kingdom, the kingdom will remember." ”
Even if Rashid will ride on the head of Faisal II in the future, he has no choice, the coup is terrible, now it is just to overthrow the prime minister, if Faisal II does not come forward to give him a position, what if even the royal family is overthrown?
Rashid was immediately overjoyed: "I will devote my life to the kingdom." ”
Rashid did not think that he would be able to become the prime minister of Iraq, which was the purpose of his coup d'état!
From this moment on, Rashid became the prime minister of Iraq, and the first thing he did when he became prime minister was to deal with the military issue in Habbaniyah.
Mess!
It was already dawn, and the British Royal Air Force in Habaniyah had been fighting for half the night.
In the middle of the night, they dug out two fortifications outside their base, and the fighters in the base were also mounted with ground attack weapons, which could take off at any time, and after taking off, they could launch an attack, absolutely efficient.
In the southern part of the base, there is a dirt slope with a height of less than fifty meters, and this small dirt slope can overlook the entire base, and now, the commander of the British air base, Air Force Major General Smart, stands on this small dirt slope and observes the situation outside.
In the binoculars, you can see that the main force of the Iraqis has arrived, that is, the size of an infantry division, and they are now on the periphery of their bases, slowly unfolding, and in terms of numbers, the number of Iraqis is huge.
Suddenly, he froze in the distance.
That's the artillery positions of the Iraqis!
Are these Iraqis going to let the camel kick their heads? Outside your own air base, deploy artillery positions? Smart had a sneer on his face: "Take off eight fighters at once and blow up the artillery positions there for me!" ”
In the minds of Iraqis, they think it's a good idea to bombard their air bases with heavy artillery, right? Don't they know that in front of their own planes, the artillery positions are only under attack?
