Originally, there was no need for this, Syria and Iraq were not in the same place, and Rifaat never thought that if he wanted to obtain Iraq's support, he would still think of competing with Iraq for the boss when he came to power. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Manaf, however, is a young man, a pro-Iraqi faction. Manaf dared to do such a thing, with the help of external forces, to participate in the internal struggle in Syria! In particular, with the help of the rival in the eyes of Syria, the power of Iraq!

Rifaat knows that the most important thing right now is international support, in addition to the military struggle.

"Report, message from the Saudi side." A deputy came in and said.

Saudi? Rifaat was very happy and said: "The Saudi side, it should support us, right?" ”

Rifaat is very confident in Saudi Arabia, here in the Middle East, the relationship between individuals can sometimes play a very good role, and Rifaat's relationship with Saudi Arabia is very good, especially with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, the relationship is even more unusual, they are relatives!

"The Saudi side is very dissatisfied with our actions and hopes that we can lay down our arms and that they can guarantee that we will go to Saudi Arabia for political asylum and will not be physically harmed. ≦≧”

"What?" Rifaat raised his voice: "Absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!" He grabbed the document, which was a Saudi announcement made at six o'clock this morning.

Saudi Arabia believes that Rifaat has seriously jeopardized the stability of the Middle East by instigating the Fourth Armored Division to carry out a rebellion, and hopes that Rifaat can lay down his arms and resolve this rebellion peacefully.

Saudi Arabia supports Iraq's military operations, and in order to maintain the stability of the Syrian order and achieve the normal transfer of power in Syria, it is necessary to have Iraq's military strength to balance the domestic situation in Syria.

This statement by Saudi Arabia. Gives Rifaat a feeling of being betrayed. Saudi Arabia, how can such a decision be made? Don't they know that now Iraq is so naked in Syria's internal affairs. Shouldn't it be condemned by all Arab countries? Iraq, by virtue of its strong military strength, can do whatever it wants on the land of the Middle East? ≦≧ Saudi Arabia doesn't see that one day, Iraq will also press the border with troops and threaten Saudi Arabia to agree to certain demands?

King Fahd is so wise, don't you know that a strong Syria is also good for balancing Iraq?

"Iraq issued a statement." The deputy continued.

Rifart suddenly felt ominous in his heart, and he picked up the statement. The above content made him feel a little frightened.

Bashar al-Assad, the second son of Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, has returned to the Middle East. It is now in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Cordial exchange with President Qusay, after the end of the talks. Iraq will send people to protect His Excellency Bashar al-Assad and return to Syria, ready to carry on President Hafez's last wishes, lead the Syrian people to fight for a rich and strong Syrian state!

The London affair is absolutely inseparable from Iraq, and I did not expect that Iraq would move so quickly and bring Bashar to the Middle East so quickly. ≦≧

With Bashar in the presence, Rifaat's advantage is not so obvious.

In accordance with the Syrian Constitution, adopted by a national referendum on March 12, 1973, the President of Syria is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The President and the Council of Ministers exercise executive power, and the People's Assembly proposes a presidential candidate on the basis of a proposal by the leadership of the Syrian region of the Arab Baath Party, and then elects the President by secret ballot of the people. The term of office of the president is seven years.

However, no one really takes this constitution seriously, the referendum is still a secret, and this situation can only be a trick to deceive children.

For example, who will be the next president is not decided by a referendum at all, it is up to the current president to decide, President Hafez is trying to raise his eldest son Baz to be his successor, and what uninteresting voter will disagree? Even if you vote against it, it is absolutely invalid.

In a country like the Middle East, the most important thing is to take power in his hands strongly, and with the support of Iraq, it will be easy for Assad to take over power in Syria, which is what Rifaat absolutely does not want to see. ≦≧

"The fate of the Syrian people should be decided by themselves, Iraq's deliberate interference in Syria's internal affairs is completely an act of aggression, according to the Syrian Constitution, when the president's physical condition is no longer able to support the handling of government affairs, the vice president can temporarily take over all power and wait until the general election resumes, so it is completely in accordance with the regulations for Vice President Rifaat to do this, and now, Air Force Commander Manaf, colluded with foreign forces to cause a rebellion at home, they are Syria's enemies! President Ribat will definitely lead the Syrian army to eliminate the rebellion in the country, and at the same time, express the maximum protest against Iraq's barbaric interference in Syria's internal political situation! We will submit it to the UN Security Council in the hope that Iraq will respect Syria's sovereignty and withdraw its troops immediately. Rifaat thought as he said slowly, and now is the time for the legitimate zhèngfu of Syria, that is, the zhèngfu led by Rifaat, to take a stand.

It is absolutely impossible to get Iraq to withdraw its troops with a protest, and Rifaat knows that if he wants to succeed now, what he needs is to stall for time, and he needs to reach an agreement with the Soviet side and use the support of the Soviet Union to put pressure on Iraq. ≦≧ Syria was originally pro-Soviet, and this was his greatest reliance.

At the same time, he bought time, he can also let the Fourth Armored Division build various fortifications in the city, now, Damascus is occupied by him, if the Iraqi army invades, then, you can use the street fighting, inflict great casualties on the other side, at the same time, the casualties of the civilians in Damascus will also make them hate the Iraqi troops who came to them, this is also killing two birds with one stone, Rifat knows Qusay's tactics, he doesn't like street fighting, then, in the street fighting, inflicting great casualties on the Iraqi army, let them retreat.

As long as there is a war in Damascus, the situation in the international community will definitely be unfavorable to Iraq, which is originally a civil war in Syria, and Iraq, as the boss of the Arab world, has come here to "maintain peace", and there will definitely be dissatisfaction with them in the Western world.

Rifaat's many years of military and political experience made him immediately think of a solution, and now, although the Iraqi army has been in the city, he still has not failed, he is still very sure!

The changes in Syria in recent days, so to speak, have left the whole world out of tune.

It was the United States that was the first to react.

After last year's major conflict between Iraq and Israel, Israel began to increase its lobbying power in the United States and change President Reagan's attitude toward Iraq, and the effect was okay at first, but then Iraq actually didn't know what to do, and actually agreed to the United States' proposal to increase production and reduce prices. However, the result was a compromise with the British, who broke off its military-industrial relations with Israel.

Without Britain, the United States, and the United States, the assistance provided by the United States is still very large, and the Air Force is slowly regaining its strength. And the ground forces of the Sè column, which were originally in place, did not suffer much losses, except for the loss of the Golan Heights.

Now, Iraq dares to send troops to Syria, and this kind of interference in the internal affairs of other countries is very unacceptable, and the Jewish forces in the United States naturally want to lobby the United States to condemn Iraq's behavior.

And President Reagan, after holding an emergency meeting with his think tank, believes that this is a good opportunity for the West to get close to Syria, Rifart is different from Hafez, Rifat has a relatively close relationship with Western countries, especially since the loss of power, Rifat has been visiting Western Europe, if the forces close to the West are fostered, in the Middle East, the United States will have greater power, moreover, Syria has always been pro-Soviet before, if the future policy becomes pro-American, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Soviet Union.

From another point of view, Bashar is obviously supported by Qusay, so Syria, which was originally at odds with Iraq, may become a quasi-ally with Syria, which is very unfavorable to the US strategy.

In particular, Iraq originally agreed to increase crude oil production, but now, it has begun to reduce production again, and it is time to put some pressure on Iraq, which cannot be directly applied to Iraq, and it is also a good choice to apply it to Syria.

Rifat did not expect that the United States would actually support his coup d'état, and that he was disappointed by the Soviet Union, in which he was more confident.

Syria is a quasi-ally of the Soviet Union, whether it is Rifaat or Bashar comes to power, this relationship will not change, Bashar, is supported by Iraq, Iraq and the Soviet Union are now developing good cooperative relations, especially under the urging of Gorbachev, Iraq ended the move to increase crude oil production, and world oil prices began to rise, at this time, it is very unwise to have contradictions with Iraq.

Gorbachev has become the number one leader of the Soviet Union, in his view, the most important thing is to restore the economy, whether it is oil exports, or arms exports, are the Soviet Union's precious sources of foreign exchange, Gorbachev wants to reform, then, there must be funds in hand, Gorbachev most important is friendly relations with Iraq.

And the surrounding Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia, all support Iraq, and Iraq is carrying out a just cause! In addition to Kusai's first consultation with King Fahd, Bashar is also a signboard.
