Chapter 583: Seizure of power
Cousse, commander of the Republican Guard? Before Taha's expression could react, Rashid had already shouted loudly: "Someone! ”
Qusse became the commander of the Republican Guard, so what would the original commander Rashid do? At this moment, Rashid knew that he was already in danger, and since this was the case, it was better to attack on the spot! Moreover, he had already set it up, and the outside was full of his people!
Following Rashid's order, from outside, rushed in a squad of heavily armed soldiers, holding AKM rifles in their hands, with indifferent expressions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uday and Kusse, the two tried to disrupt the high-level chain of command, and immediately escorted the two down." Rashid said: "Adnan, Watban, Barzan, these people are all complicit, for the sake of the future of our Republic of Iraq, drag these people out and shoot them!" ”
Rashid decided to mutiny, regardless of the fact that there were still Soviets on the spot, and the more decisively this matter was carried out, the better.
In the final analysis, Andrei is just an outsider, and no matter who governs Iraq, as long as he can continue to cooperate with the Soviet Union, or even become a puppet of the Soviet Union, this is enough, and Rashid has long considered it in his heart.
Outside, his people have already controlled everything, as long as these Saddam Hussein's relatives are killed, the rest of the people will obediently follow him, Taha is too weak, and he doesn't dare to fart now, it is better to kill him and become president himself!
After the establishment of the state of Iraq, conspiracies and rebellions emerged one after another, and today they are still high, and tomorrow they will be killed by the mutiners, such a situation is too common, and only in the years of Saddam's reign can the political situation in Iraq be considered stable, but now, when this kind of thing is done again, Rashid has no mercy.
Just thinking about it, Rashid suddenly felt that something was wrong, why didn't these subordinates of his do it yet?
"Kamal, do it?" Rashid said.
"Yes." The commander, known as Kamal, stepped forward, raised his assault rifle, raised the butt, and smashed it hard at Rashid.
At this moment, Rashid was smashed to the back of his head, blood flowed out, and in an instant, Rashid realized that it was obvious that these of his subordinates were loyal to Uday! Otherwise, how did Uday and the others get in?
Damn it!
"Drag it out and shoot it." Uday's words were calm, but they were extremely cruel.
There was a trail of blood on the ground, and Rashid was dragged out, and the rest of the people's minds went blank.
Taha's legs trembled involuntarily, he and Rashid had already discussed making trouble here and supporting him to come to power, but now, Rashid has been killed, what about himself?
"Taha, you are the vice chairman of our Baath Party, our senior, and we brothers still need your support." Uday continued to Taha.
Taha was stunned, is this going to let himself go?
The chairman of the Ba'ath Party is Saddam, and the vice chairman, the second person in the party is Taha, and now, Uday took the initiative to show goodwill to Taha, and Taha immediately responded: "Of course, if there is no President Saddam, there will be no Iraq that we are now strong, and I express my position on behalf of all the members of the Baath Party and resolutely support President Uday as the new chairman of our Baath Party." ”
Seeing Taha's statement, Adnan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this farce is finally over, and this attempted coup can be controlled thanks to the support of General Andrei behind the scenes!
Needless to say? Although Uday has a gloomy personality and resembles President Saddam, he is only an eighteen-year-old young man after all! If no one is behind his back, will Uday come here and demand that everyone else support him as president?
Just when these people on his side were arguing in the headquarters, General Andrei went out, and no one cared, Baghdad was very dangerous, and it would be bombed by stealth planes at any time, General Andrei probably wanted to go back to Uzbekistan, who knows, he actually went to find the two brothers Uday and Quse!
Moreover, this move is very clever, before Saddam Hussein's death, he once revealed the idea of letting his son inherit his own career, although Iraq is a republic, but now it is obvious that the country is Saddam's, Saddam's idea, has not been opposed by others.
And now, bringing Uday and Qusai out can make others obedient, especially when President Saddam Hussein's bones are still cold, obey the leadership of Saddam's son and avenge Saddam, this statement can be recognized enough!
Moreover, that fool Rashid, thinking that he could control the Republican Guard by controlling a few high-ranking officials, after Saddam's son appeared, the Republican Guard from Saddam's hometown of Tikrit immediately obeyed Uday and Quse, supported Uday as president, and supported Qusai as their commander, and even Rashid's most trusted Kamal did not hesitate to defect to Rashid.
In a country like Iraq, where rebellions continue to appear, there are still only people of the same tribe, and hometown people are the most reliable!
Killing Rashid is to give everyone prestige, and at the same time, respecting Taha is another high move, after all, Taha is the second person in the Baath Party, if Taha is killed, it will cause the Baath Party to fall apart, now win over Taha first, and wait until the position is secured, Taha will definitely not be able to escape the end of death.
Although Uday was still young, Adnan knew the anger in Uday's heart, and like his father, he would never tolerate the existence of anyone who threatened his power!
However, as president, Uday is still too young!
"Uncle, I'm still young, and if I want to defeat the hateful Americans, I can't do without you and the support of everyone present." Uday said.
Adnan woke up from his contemplation and immediately said: "President Uday, we will definitely do our best to avenge President Saddam, and we will unswervingly fight this battle!" ”
Originally, Adnan did not intend to compromise, but now, the situation on the battlefield is the most favorable to his side, the American army has been beaten to pieces, and his own vanguard is about to rush to Riyadh!
The Americans are going to drop nuclear bombs on the heads of the Iraqis? It's just a nuclear deterrent! Do they really dare to throw it?
"Now we are facing the problem of the threat of nuclear bombs primarily from the Americans." Watban said that he was the Minister of Internal Security, and that along with Barzan, he was Saddam's half-brother, and now that the situation was settled, they also supported Uday.
"General Andrei, you are the best friend of our Iraqis, what do you think about the threat of nuclear bombs from the United States now?" Uday asked Andrei. (To be continued.) )
