Baghdad is the capital of Iraq, the capital of Baghdad Province, and a famous historical and cultural city in the Islamic world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The name infoBaghdad comes from the Persian word meaning "gift from God". Baghdad is located in the middle of the Mesopotamian plain, across the banks of the Tigris River, only more than 30 kilometers away from the Euphrates River, with convenient transportation conditions, and is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Iraq.
It has a rich history and culture, with the Sumer city-state established in Baghdad more than 4,000 years ago. In the 19th century B.C., the Kingdom of Babylon, known as one of the "four ancient civilizations in the world", appeared on the stage of history. For centuries, it was not only the capital of the Arab Empire, a famous city of Islam, but also the center of economy, trade, culture and transportation between West Asia and the Middle East. Baghdad has been the capital of the Arab Empire for more than 1,200 years. It became the most important cultural and trade center in the vast region of the Middle East at that time, and was known as the three famous cities in the world at that time, along with Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty of China, and Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
Known as the homeland of "One Thousand and One Nights", Baghdad is the birthplace of the ancient civilization of the two rivers and one of the oldest cities in the Arab world.
Zhang Feng knew that Saddam Hussein had a strong ambition to unify Arabia. He once described his Iraq as follows:
Either stand on the top of a high mountain or sink into the bottom of a deep valley, but it is never a flat river!
Such a person is destined to be a proud, lonely, and violent person, and the Iran-Iraq war is actually a wrong choice.
With apprehension, Zhang Feng entered Saddam's official residence, the presidential palace of Iraq -- the Republic Palace.
This is the center of power in Iraq, formerly known as the Hashemite Palace. The palace covers an area of about 17 square kilometers and is the most important place for President Saddam Hussein to work, receive foreign guests, hold meetings and live and live. The presidential palace represents the sovereignty and dignity of the country and is the symbol of the Iraqi nation.
Stepping on the marble corridor, Zhang Feng was amazed by the luxury here, and under the guidance of the guards, he walked into a conference hall.
In front of the oval conference table, Zhang Feng's eyes first looked at the center, the "Ace of Spades" on the playing card, the portrait also hanging in his bedroom, his father, the ruler of Iraq: Saddam? President Hussein.
In the impression of Zhang Feng in later generations, Saddam Hussein was a controversial figure; After Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the world's evaluation of him became even more bitter and scathing. Some called him "the Hitler of the Middle East" and "the brutal dictator"; Others praised him as "a hero of the Arab nation" and "a sharp sword of Arabia."
Zhang Feng looked at Saddam Hussein in front of him and gave him the impression that this was an iron-blooded president.
Saddam Hussein was burly, with a black mustache and a blazing gaze, and was looking intently at Zhang Feng who walked in, but his eyes were aggressive, which made Zhang Feng feel a little uncomfortable.
People who stand at the pinnacle of power are probably such a grand atmosphere!
Saddam's subordinates, each sat a few people, Zhang Feng glanced at it, and on the left hand side were three soldiers, wearing green berets and Baath Party uniforms. Zhang Feng didn't know them, he just glanced at the ranks, either major generals or lieutenant generals.
There were several people sitting on the right-hand side, wearing traditional Iraqi costumes and headscarves, and Zhang Feng knew that they should be civilian officials when he saw them.
And the person on the right is the most disrespectful expression, although sitting, it can also be seen that he is tall, has a beard, and has a handsome face.
"The great hero is in!" The man said in a strange manner: "Qusay, you have made a great contribution this time, we are all waiting for you here, ready to report to the whole country and widely publicize your deeds!" ”
"Uday, don't be joking, look at your brother's words!" Saddam Hussein said: "Qusay, we already know about the Osirak nuclear reactor, and this time, you did a good job!" ”
It turns out that this person next to him is his brother Uday! Zhang Feng still has the memory of Qusay in his mind, although the two are brothers, but Uday is two years older than himself, and now he is less than twenty, and he has been deliberately cultivated by Saddam Hussein, and can enter the center of power and participate in high-level meetings.
"That's right, I didn't expect that you are still studying at the Faculty of Political Science and Law of the University of Baghdad, and you are still a college student, so you have done such a big thing today, which really makes my uncle happy!" Said a lieutenant general in military uniform.
This person is the Iraqi Minister of Defense and the head of the army's security, Adnan? Hylara, who is Qusay's biological mother, Sajida? Hylara's brother, and Sajida? Hylara is Saddam's cousin, so they are very close to each other, Adnan? Hailara now has an important position in China.
He was flanked by Lieutenant General Hazraj and Major General Rashid, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and Commander of the Republican Guard, respectively.
These three are important figures in the military.
And those who are dressed in Arabic costumes are Watban? Ibrahim? Hassan? Tikriti and Barzan? Ibrahim? Tikriti, the two are Saddam's half-brothers, Watban is the head of the Internal Security Department, Barzan is the intelligence chief, the other two are the oil minister Sharabi, and the second person in the Baath Party, Taha? Yasin? Ramadan.
These are all high-ranking officials of the Iraqi regime who determine the functioning of the Iraqi state.
Saddam Hussein opened his mouth to praise Zhang Feng, and several other people also congratulated Zhang Feng, this time it was really too dangerous, when the report of the air defense early warning radar was passed up layer by layer, the enemy plane had already flown over the vicinity of Baghdad, and Saddam immediately judged that these planes must have come to attack the nuclear reactor, and besides, the planes came from the west, not Iranians, but Israel!
Adnan immediately got in touch with the nuclear reactor, only to learn that most of the troops in charge of guarding the nuclear reactor had come to the city of Baghdad, and it was Sunday! Even the top commander of the base can't be contacted.
Adnan knows that if the nuclear reactor is blown up, then, in a fit of rage, there will definitely be a large number of people waiting to lose their heads, and even he, the Minister of Defense, may have to take responsibility.
Who knows, since ancient times, the hero came out of the youth, the second son of His Excellency the President, he actually commanded calmly at the base, and the incoming enemy plane was shot down, and the nuclear reactor was safe and sound! Immediately, Adnan reported to the president, and the president was also overjoyed, so that his son, whom he had not seen for several months, immediately came to the presidential palace to receive praise.
