Chapter 783: Civil Strife in Syria?

readx;

"President, our intelligence agents in Damascus have sent back a message that President Hafez's eldest son, his successor, Commander of the Guard, Baz, was killed an hour ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧" Barzan said to Qusay.

Although Qusay trusts his own Messiah Bureau more, the Messiah Bureau is a secret department, and the apparent intelligence system in Iraq is still in charge of Barzan.

Just when they received their own special forces, clashed with the other party, and had to retreat in order to avoid an evil incident, they received such a message again.

"How did he get killed?" Qusay asked.

"Our special forces personnel, who wanted to inspect the pressurization station and the oil pipeline, continued to pursue the Jews, but the Syrian side did not agree, and after our personnel retreated, Baz entered the pressurization station, and as a result, the bomb that the Jews had planted there just exploded, and Baz was blown into several pieces." Barzan said that this was the news that his intelligence system had just gotten.

Hearing this news, the people who were still very depressed because Syria did not allow their own special forces to assist actually had a sense of schadenfreude, they really deserved it, they wanted to support, and they did not accept it, if it was their own special forces, I am afraid that those time bombs would have been eliminated long ago, and there would be no such thing as now. ≦≧

Kusai didn't think so, he was thinking about what was going to happen next.

Baz, in later life, died in a traffic accident in 94, but now, he died in an accident ten years early. Because of the emergence of Qusay, the history of the Middle East has been completely different, what will happen to Hafez without Baz?

In later generations, after the death of Baz, President Hafez began to raise his second son, Bashar al-Assad, however. The second is the same age as Qusay. Although he was born in a family with a core of power, he was not interested in politics. As a child, he attended a French school in Damascus, where he set a direction in life: to become an ophthalmologist. It was a surprising choice, but because Hafez focused on training a long-term successor, he did not interfere with Assad's lofty ideals. Now, Bashar is studying for a master's degree in medicine in London, England. ≦≧

After Bazl's unexpected death, who will President Hafez continue to choose? Is it his second son Bashar, or his brother Rifaat?

In the Middle East, for example, Saudi Arabia. The son did not succeed his father, but the younger brother and brother, and after the old king abdicated, the throne would be passed to his brothers, such as the current King Fahd, who was the brother of King Khalid.

This is also the idea of Rifat, who is the brother of Hafez, and. And very capable. This successor should be the most suitable for him.

However, what Rifaat did not expect that in 83, Hafez had heart problems and set up a six-member committee to manage the affairs of the state, but Rifaat was excluded. Don't use your own brother, but trust those outsiders. Rifaat began to have a second heart, and the officers who were already close to Rifaat were also despised. This led to the concern of the officers of Rifaat's faction, and some of the senior officers began to gather around him, while others remained loyal to Hafez.

At the time, Rifaat's army numbered more than 55,000 soldiers and was equipped with tanks, heavy weapons, warplanes and helicopters. ≦≧ his army began to break away from the control of the Zhongyāng in Damascus, and he used it as a backing to succeed Hafez as president.

It's just that. This period was less than a year, and in early '84, Hafez's body recovered and began to regain full control of the army. At this time, President Hafez also knew about Rifat's actions, and he began to be wary of Rifat, nominally, Rifat was appointed vice president and in charge of some security affairs, and was also sent abroad to engage in some working visits, but Rifat's power has been completely hollowed out, and he has been visiting abroad, rarely returning home, as if he had been exiled.

Some of the officers loyal to Rifaat were cleared, but most of them remained. And Baz, who was ceremoniously pushed to the front by Hafez, became the de facto successor.

Now, Bazl is dead, and Rifaat will never let go of this opportunity.

Will Hafez launch his second son? Will that ophthalmologist who is just about to turn twenty years old grow into a qualified politician quickly?

Qusay is thinking carefully about whether such a change in Syria is beneficial to him, or what Iraq should do to get the best out of itself. ≦≧

If this opportunity is taken advantage of, it is likely that the Iraqi problem will be solved, and that group of nasty Jews seems to have done a good thing this time, but the Jews will never let go of the Jews who dare to attack their own oil pipelines.

No one bothered Qusay, they knew that at this time, the president was thinking about the current situation, and maybe the next moment, the president would have some kind of plan, no, what brilliant idea would come out.

Once again, Barzan received a message that had to interrupt Qusay's train of thought: "Your Excellency, President Hafez has suffered another heart attack and has been admitted to the hospital in Damascus. ”

Hafez had a heart attack? Qusay suddenly woke up in his heart: this is an opportunity!

This is Rifaat's opportunity, Rifaat will never give up this opportunity, and Rifaat, an old fox, in later generations, Bashar came to power, this uncle still said that Bashar's election was problematic, wanted to participate in the election himself, and was obsessed with the power in Syria. ≦≧ Hafez suddenly had a heart attack this time, and his successor Baz is gone, the Syrian regime may fall into short-term civil strife.

In the military, Rifart still has a certain strength.

Qusay definitely doesn't want to work with Riffat, that guy is very risky, maybe when he will turn his face, and the other, that Bashar, is much easier, he is still blank in politics.

If you want to become a qualified military strategist and politician at a young age, not just anyone can do it, and there is only one person who succeeds, and that is Qusay-Abdullah!

Qusay believes that if Bashar takes over power, it will be a good thing for Iraq.

"Immediately let our forces in Europe protect the security of Assad." Qusay said. If Riffat had been sophisticated, he would have been able to see that the only one competing with him was this Bashar.

"Order the 60th Panzer Division, stationed in the Golan Heights, to be ready for battle at all times. The 1st Armored Division stationed in Mosul is also ready for battle, and we need to help Assad stabilize the political situation in Syria at a critical time, and not let the plotters succeed. ”

"Pick me up at once, I need to speak to the King of Saudi Arabia."

Qusay's series of orders came down and were immediately executed accurately, but they did not understand what Qusayi really meant.

"President, are you planning to intervene in Syria by force?" Defense Minister Adnan asked.

"Now, the situation in Syria is very dangerous, and at this time, as a friend of Syria, we must use all our strength to help Syria tide over this difficult time, and ensure that if something happens to Assad, the transfer of power in Syria can proceed normally." Qusay said.

Qusay is ready, if Hafez is sick this time and can survive safely, then, as if nothing happened, if Hafez does not survive, then Rifaat will definitely jump out and take over the power in Syria. And if Hafez has his last words, which is to let Bashar take over power, Qusay will use his own force to help Bashar take over power in Syria, and then support Syrian generals who have friendly relations with Iraq, such as Major General Manaf. In this way, a Syria friendly to Iraq will be created.

Of course, this will not go so smoothly, for example, Syria, which is traditionally pro-Soviet, will definitely be influenced by the Soviet Union, what attitude will Gorbachev take? And what will be the attitude of the United States, another hostile country?

No matter what attitude they have, they are far from quenching their thirst, Iraq is the closest, and when the time comes, in the face of a fait accompli, what can they do?

I helped occupy the Golan Heights in order to protect Syria from the attacks of the Isère, but I did not expect that it would come in a new role now, and the condescending Golan Heights is not only looking down on the Isère, but also on Syria and Damascus.

Here, what role Iraq plays, whether it is friendly help or aggression, is very particular, and the important thing is to see what the surrounding Arab countries think, so Qusay needs to get the support of Saudi Arabia first.

Iraq is the most powerful militarily, however, Iraq must not use this powerful force against their own Arab brothers, this is a bottom line, otherwise, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan, which border Iraq, will all be worried about Iraq, Iraq's economic and military strength have developed to a new height, today Iraq can invade Syria, tomorrow it may be Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, Qusay cannot insist on going his own way, he needs his actions to be legitimate, that is, to gain the support of Saudi Arabia and other countries.

In Syria, outside the emergency room of the hospital in Damascus, Defense Minister Mustafa, Chief of the General Staff Sheffield and others, were anxiously waiting.
