"Uncle," Zhang Feng said at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous dinner, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Where, we are originally a family, but we usually work hard for this country and don't have time to communicate." Adnan said, "This time you come here, you feel like you are your own home." ”

In Baghdad, Zhang Feng was invited by Defense Minister Adnan to his home for a meal.

Adnan is Qusay's birth mother Sajida? Hylara's brothers, therefore, are very close to each other.

However, due to various relationships, these relatives are very close to Uday, and their thoughts are the same. It wasn't until later that Qusay came out of nowhere and became more and more powerful, until now, President Saddam Hussein has deliberately cultivated Qusay as a successor, so they began to think about how to get closer to Qusay.

Adnan made the first move, inviting Qusay to his house for dinner.

Zhang Feng was still worried, thinking that he still kept a little distance from these people, so as not to make his father suspicious, but considering his idiot brother, he suddenly changed his mind.

That idiot brother has to stimulate him again, and it is only a matter of time before he gets closer to these people.

At present, all of Zhang Feng's forces are in the Southern Military Region, and here in the north, it is still Dad's world, but it is very important for him to develop and get closer to these people.

Here in the Middle East, the head of the army has a lot of real power, and all the rebellions have been initiated by the generals who led the army. Therefore, it is very important to keep the army firmly in your own hands.

All the top military leaders came from President Saddam's hometown, Tikrit, and they all had dealings with each other and each other, and this was a special group.

The Southern Military Region has always been not valued by my father, and since Zhang Feng went to the Southern Military Region, the situation has changed, so in the Southern Military Region, the proportion of officers from other places is larger, but the commander of the Military Region, Izzat, is still the brother of President Saddam.

Unlike the sharp-edged Saddam, Adnan was modest, lived a simple life, was not addicted to power, and had a very good relationship with Saddam. A graduate of the Military Academy, Adnan served in the Iraqi army for many years, making many friends, and it took President Bakr and Saddam Hussein to convince him to accept the post of defense minister......

Adnan can be said to be the pillar of Iraq and is loved by everyone.

Therefore, after receiving this uncle's invitation, Zhang Feng finally decided to go to the banquet.

It was a normal dinner, with a basket of flatbread in the center of the table, and then a dozen or so plates of bright red tomato salad, tender green pickled cucumber strips, verdant lettuce, chopped fennel toss, the traditional Arabian delicacy "Homs" sauce, meat stuffing with sour grape leaves, fish croquettes, a very thinly sliced raw lamb puree, a few plates of traditional roast lamb, and pilaf.

Sitting at the dining table were Adnan and his wife, as well as two daughters of the same age as Zhang Feng.

Although according to Muslim etiquette, women are required to wear a face towel even when they have guests, but both parties are relatives and considered a family, so they are very comfortable.

"Cusay, you're welcome, eat!" Adnan said.

Zhang Feng wanted to say that these things did not meet his appetite, and he always liked to ask the chef to cook authentic Chinese food for him, but looking at the things on the table, Zhang Feng had to pretend to like it very much and began to use the knife and fork.

And the two Adnan daughters were always eating while looking at Zhang Feng, which made Zhang Feng have an ominous premonition.

"Kusai, you're not too young, do you like my two daughters?" Adnan's wife, Qusay's aunt, asked.

Suddenly, the two daughters blushed, although they knew that they both liked this Qusay, he was the most famous god of war in Iraq!

"This..."Zhang Feng didn't expect that this aunt didn't treat herself as an outsider, and she spoke so directly.

Zhang Feng really wants to say that close relatives can't get married, otherwise, due to the same genes, the two incognito disease genes will manifest themselves, and the offspring will have a larger dementia child, and his brother is not brain-dead?

However, in Iraq, such consanguineous marriages are all too common, so Zhang Feng can't say that.

"At present, my mission is to protect Iraq and defeat the Persians, as for the issue of marriage, I have never considered it, I am not yet twenty years old, this kind of thing, I will talk about it later." Zhang Feng said.

"Yes, Qusai is our god of war, how can you ask such a question!" Adnan also said reproachfully, but after a moment's notice, he continued: "However, it is not bad to have a woman who takes care of your diet and daily life, and you can work in peace." ”？ Zhang Feng suddenly alerted, he wouldn't be the secretary of his life, right?

Fortunately, the topic immediately changed, and Zhang Feng took a bite of mutton: "Uncle, this mutton you roasted is so delicious!" ”

After eating, sitting in a chair against the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Feng holds a cup of "kahwa", which is rich and rich, mixed with the aroma of roasted coffee beans and spicy cardamom powder.

He took a sip and chatted with Adnan next to him.

"Qusay, now, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Military Region has improved by leaps and bounds, and you have contributed a lot." Adnan said.

"Allah willing, the Southern Military District has won several battles, but our fighting continues." Zhang Feng said. "Iraq wants to become a great power and defeat Iran, which is only the first step."

"You say, can we really defeat Iran?" Adnan asked, at this time, Adnan did not look like Iraq's defense minister at all, but like a dirt bun in the desert who had not seen the prosperity of the city.

"Uncle, it is unwise for us to fight for our interests in the end, not to pay attention to interests, and to fight for hegemony in the Middle East. At present, we control the main crude oil producing areas in the southwest of Iran, and we have important access to the sea, which is in our greatest interest, and occupying the whole of Iran is not the most suitable option. Zhang Feng said.

Benefit! Adnan knew that this nephew of his was very knowledgeable.

"At the same time, if our Northern Military District invades the northern part of Iran, it will be able to obtain important grain producing areas and mineral resources, which will also be of great benefit to our development, but at present, we do not have the strength and need to occupy the whole of Iran." Zhang Feng continued, and after speaking, he suddenly felt that he had said something inappropriate: "Uncle, when I say this, I am overstepping." ”

"No, you're right!" Adnan said.

Adnan was worried, because, with the victory of the Southern Military District, President Saddam's pride began to swell extremely, and he was already thinking about annexing all of Iran and establishing the Great Babylonian Empire.

And this Kusai sees the problem more clearly, Adnan knows that Kusai's views are very correct.

Just when Zhang Feng was "idle" visiting relatives in Baghdad, on the other hand, he was still nervous.

It was already dark, Beirut airport was closed, and it was pitch black except for a few lights that were still on above the control tower.

At this time, the Boeing 707 passenger plane had been parked at Beirut Airport for eight hours, but the aviation fuel they asked for was still not refilled, and the two young men finally got impatient to wait.

As soon as I landed here, the tower spoke very politely, because the situation in Lebanon is always tense, so all kinds of supplies are scarce, and the precious aviation fuel is gone, so we have to wait for the oil trucks to come.

However, there was no shortage of water and food, so a few hours ago, after consultation between the two sides, the plane was replenished with some food and fresh water.

However, it is not known whether these things can enter the hands of the hostages.

At this time, the atmosphere in the cabin was still as depressed as ever, and the whole cabin crew was trembling and waiting for the unknown fate.

There were two elderly people who, because of excessive fright, urinated incontinence, and a special smell permeated the cabin.

The two of them, in fact, are two die-hard Khomeini elements of the Iranian Republican Guard, who have been on the front line of the Iran-Iraq war, and they can eat even if they sit dead, let alone now.

(Of the Iranians, 51 percent are Persians, but there are also some Arabs.) Therefore, it was said earlier that these two men were Arabs, both loyal to Khomeini, and they carried out the hijacking. All of this is a trap laid by the Iranians, from the last time the Americans who hijacked the embassy as hostages, Iran is considered to have greatly increased their ambition, and the Americans suffered a loss under their hands, and finally negotiated with themselves to solve the problem.

So, this time, they want to repeat the old trick and once again get the Americans to agree to their demand: weapons for hostages.

However, this matter cannot be done too blatantly, even last time, it was just a patriotic act of ordinary Iranian students, and it has nothing to do with the political axe.

And this time, even more so, they took hostages, and it was better to find someone to negotiate in the middle. Now is an opportunity, in Beirut, Arafat is a good candidate, if he can be on his side, then everything will be easy, so in the statement, they added the demand for the Israeli side to the front.

If Arafat does not stand on their side, they can only take the hostages back to Tehran, which is the safest, of course, they will not admit that they are Iranians, they just chose Iran, so it is most appropriate for the two Arabs, who only make up a small minority of the Iranian population, to carry out this plan.

Khomeini is also vicious, he wants to involve the entire Arab world. After this incident, the Arabs had to undergo the strictest checks when boarding the plane, which made everyone hate Khomeini very much.

Suddenly, a voice came over the radio.

"Flight 832 of China Transit Airlines, please answer when you receive it, please answer when you receive it."

The captain picked up the headset, and was immediately taken by the tall Middle Eastern: "Refuel me immediately, otherwise, I will shoot and kill hostages!" ”

They really can't wait, look at it now, they have to make an appearance to them, knowing that they will definitely attack at a critical time, anyway, those two US Marines who were beaten badly by them, they have long wanted to start.

"I'm Yasser Arafat, you may have heard my name, I want to negotiate with you, please release the old man and children and the woman on the plane first." Arafat said calmly. By this time, he had already arrived at the airport, negotiated with the hijackers through the tower radio, and was immediately received by many people because he was using a public channel.
