Chapter 381: The Kurds Want to Rebel?
Baghdad.
By the end of the new year, the Northern Military District had already established itself on the Iranian plateau, and Saddam Hussein was not satisfied with the current status quo, and his appetite was still great.
Bakhtaram is an important transportation artery in northwestern Iran, occupying this place, it can develop everywhere, to the south, to attack Khorramabad, or to the east to attack Hamadan, there is a very important premise, that is, logistics can be smoothly delivered.
The two bridges that were blown up by the Iranians were finally reused after emergency repairs, and a large number of vigilance forces were arranged along the way to prevent the Iranians from sneaking up and destroying them.
Saddam's eyes have been set on the place on the map that fascinates him the most: Tehran!
Before the war, the goal was only to occupy some places on the border, and I didn't think that there would be such achievements as now, but now that there really is, Saddam's appetite has also become bigger, and he is already thinking about how to occupy Tehran!
Completely occupy Tehran, completely defeat Khomeini, and completely conquer Iran to the Persians who were bewitched by Khomeini! Restore the glory of the ancient Babylonian Empire!
Saddam's gaze had begun to burn, and in essence, beneath his resolute and cold exterior, there was still a fanatical heart. The current situation is going well, and he began to have these thoughts.
What made Saddam Hussein even happier was that the production line of the T-72 imported by the Soviets was already located on the outskirts of Baghdad, in Qazimayne.
Although at the beginning, Saddam still liked to directly import main battle tanks, but when the tank production plant was opening day by day, when the equipment was gradually installed, Saddam Hussein still began to look forward to this factory, and ordered the Taha in charge here to fully cooperate with the work of the Soviets.
Although the production line was negotiated by Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng knows his father's temper, he likes the army so much, and it is normal to ask for this production line, Zhang Feng will not be so stupid to grab meat and eat with his father, it is not good to annoy his father.
The north and the south are all places in Iraq, and when the production line is completed, Zhang Feng can still apply with his father. "Your Excellency," said the Chief of Intelligence, Barzan, walked in.
"Barzan, is there something going on?" Saddam Hussein looked at Barzan with a nervous expression.
"The Kurds in the north, it seems that there is something unusual, last night, we had three outposts that were attacked by a sneak attack, several soldiers were killed, and weapons and ammunition in the outposts were also looted, and we suspect that the Kurdish Minchu Party was the militant who did it." Barzan said.
Kurds! Saddam Hussein said: "Pay close attention to their movements, and if they really dare to make any moves, then let's give them some color!" ”
All these years, the Kurds have been making a fuss, wanting autonomy, wanting to be a state of read, how is this possible! Before Saddam Hussein came to power, because the Baath Party had not yet fully gained a foothold, it was false and committed for a while, and now, Iraq's national strength and military strength are already very strong, and even the Iranians have been defeated, if the Kurds really dare to jump out, then let them know that they will pay the price!
In the Kurdish gathering area in the north, it has always been the focus of Iraq's political axe defense, Mosul, Erbil these places, there are strong Iraqi troops stationed, although part of the army in the northern theater of operations has entered the territory of Iran, and part of the rear army has been withdrawn, but there are still several divisions of troops stationed, if the Kurds have a change, then, it will definitely let them know what the consequences of the rebellion are!
"One more thing." Barzan said.
"Speak."
"We have found out that there have been several recent arrivals from the Iranian side in the residence of His Excellency Uday." Barzan said, hesitating for a long time when he said this.
Saddam's train of thought seemed to pause, and after a long time, he said: "Keep a close watch, don't make any moves, don't be discovered by them." ”
Saddam Hussein had naturally linked these two events, and as a shrewd politician, he had naturally guessed something.
In this way, the small actions of the Kurds in the north must have been supported by external forces, and this force must be Iranians! In fact, the Iranians have been secretly funding the Kurds and encouraging them to rebel, which cannot be hidden from Saddam's eyes, but I didn't expect that Uday could also get entangled with the Iranians?
Some are issues of principle that must not be trampled on, for example, collusion with the Iranians!
However, after all, Uday is his own son, and if it is said that he is a person with a radical surname, some who do not do his job properly, and who do not learn and have no skills, Saddam Hussein agrees with this very much, but if it is said that Uday colluded with the Iranians, Saddam Hussein still does not believe it.
Maybe Uday was bewitched by people, hoping that he could change his ways! Saddam Hussein secretly thought in his heart that he would find an opportunity to talk to Uday, hoping that he would rein in the wilderness.
In fact, Uday was wronged, Uday colluded with people, and was also discovered by the intelligence officers planted by Barzan around him, who were the people from the Assasin organization, but the intelligence officers only confirmed that these people came from the east, so naturally Iran, in fact, those people have nothing to do with Iran.
For months, Uday has been suffering, he watched his younger brother, the originally inconspicuous Qusay, grow stronger day by day and become a powerful figure in Iraq, but he himself is gradually being ignored by his father and reduced to an inconspicuous figure, and his psychology has been distorted.
In this case, he began to think about how to kill the person who was in front of him, Kusai!
Uday sought out the most famous Assasin group in the Middle East, hoping to achieve his goal, but months passed, and they never found a chance.
Originally, Uday thought that the secretary who would only spend money could help him, and offered a high price, hoping to provide information, but that woman was obviously just one of Qusay's many lovers, because she rarely had the opportunity to stay with Qusay, even if she stayed together, it was only for so many hours, and the woman rarely found a chance to inform Uday and reveal Qusay's whereabouts.
And that organization, the information in Baghdad is also very closed, and it has never accurately obtained information about Qusay.
Uday was in a hurry, and he urged that person several times, and as a result, several activities, the intelligence officers around him found out the situation and reported it to Barzan.
After analyzing and arranging personnel to follow up, Barzan finally found out that those people were from Iran!
Now, Barzan finally decided that it was time for His Excellency the President to know.
Since the birth of Qusay, he has achieved absolute allegiance to the Southern Military Region, and in the Northern Military Region, there are many people whose scales are tilting in favor of Qusay, and they all know that Qusay is definitely a good candidate, has a strong military command ability, and has a record again and again, even His Excellency the President has faintly cultivated His Excellency Qusay as a successor, in comparison, Uday only occupies the advantage of being the boss, is too arrogant, and does extreme things, and is not an object worthy of allegiance at all.
This is also the reason why Barzan weighed again and again before deciding to tell the president about Uday's actions, he originally thought that the president would be furious, but it was strange that the president did not react at all, which made Barzan a little strange, perhaps, in the president's heart, Uday still has a lot of weight.
Zhang Feng didn't care about everything in the north, he was still paying attention to the development and construction of the south, and a very important aspect of it was the resistance of the Iranians in the occupied area.
Now, the troops of the Southern Military District, having occupied large areas of land, including Ahvaz, the port of Khomeini, Hamad, have not had much of a problem with the military occupation at the beginning, but with the end of the military struggle, these problems began to manifest themselves.
At some point, a mysterious armed man on a motorcycle, armed with assault rifles, likes to raid Iraqi military vehicles on the roads in these areas.
Zhang Feng naturally would never allow such a situation to happen, he immediately organized the special forces into several groups, dealt with these militants, and resolutely eliminated them!
At the same time, in the occupied area, Zhang Feng implemented benevolent governance, and the Iranians still lived as before, and because of the absorption of Ahvaz's oil resources and the use of the ready-made Abadan oil refinery, Zhang Feng also gave a part of the benefits to these Iranians whose ancestors lived on this land! For example, when the New Year comes, every Iranian household receives a bag of white noodles! This was never the case during the reign of Baviel or the reign of Khomeini!
During the Bavilie period, the upper echelons only cared about how they made money, and did not care about the ordinary people at all, but during the Khomeini period, there was a lack of heart, Iran was blocked everywhere, where could it take care of the people's lives! Iran's economy has not yet developed.
Zhang Feng knew that the sword could conquer the human body, but it could not conquer the human heart, and if he wanted to make these people obey him, he had to let them know that under his own rule, it was much better than Khomeini's rule!
This kind of influence is subtle.
Of course, unlike other countries, the power of religion is powerful, and Khomeini has a halo on his head, and if he calls for it, he will still have influence.
For this situation, Zhang Feng knows that he must come up with practical means, and if he wants to resist, he must let them know what his fate will be!
However, there are not many such people, because Khomeini has not been in power for a few years, and these people are not completely convinced of Khomeini, Khomeini's strong promotion of the unity of government and religion, in fact, has also hurt many people, for example, women nowadays, at least can travel without veils.
Gathering the majority, suppressing the minority with abnormal movements, and finally subduing them all, this is Zhang Feng's established policy.
