"What are you talking about? He didn't even see me." The envoy from the Baath Party was furious in a large hotel reopened in Basra. "You are too arrogant. I will convey all of your arrogant attitude to the commander-in-chief, General Simon, and the party leaders. His Excellency Hussein."
Badr looked unhappy, but he still comforted the special envoy Fessam: "The prophet has a weird temper. It is difficult for us to convince him. But please forgive me."
"Prophet. You actually call him prophet. It's ridiculous. Except for the great Mohammed, no one can become a new generation of prophet. There is only one prophet in the Islamic world. Badr. Don't you have no blood anymore?" Fei Sam was furious. "Thankfully, I always thought you were a bloody Iraqi soldier. But I didn't expect that I was wrong about you."
Hearing this, Badr looked extremely confused: "What can I do? Chief Assad is the most influential person in Basra. He controls everything in Badr's brigade. Now the Chinese has become Chief Assad. Son-in-law. Now he is half-Iraqi."
"Don't you know how to persuade Chief Assad? Are you going to let a fertile land like Basra fall into the hands of outsiders with your own eyes? Are you willing to be so submissive?" Feisam asked.
Badr was silent. After a few minutes, he said: "Do you want me to betray Chief Assad?"
"He is no longer a pure Muslim. He is a Muslim whose heart is toward outsiders. You should stop him. Badr. You have betrayed your faith. You are a hypocritical believer in a false faith. Your heart has begun Corrupted." Feisam sneered.
"Haha." Hearing this, Badr couldn't help it anymore. "Could it be that the Baath Party, which has oppressed the Iraqis for decades, is very pure? If that was really the case, General Simon would not have brought him with him during the Iraq War. The Republican Guard's most elite mechanized infantry division fled Iraq for Iran."
Feisam was immediately blocked and lost his temper. During the Iraq War, many Republican Guards disappeared. Badr was also one of those collective disappearances. But he was not a general at the time. After the establishment of the Badr Brigade, .In fact, he also named himself this general.
However, Simon is indeed a famous general in the Republican Guard. He participated in the Iran-Iraq War and fought in two Gulf Wars. In the history of Saddam's rule, Simon climbed from a pawn to the position of general. His troops were at every turn. In war, they are always used as trump cards.
It's a pity that this ace was not favored by Saddam. Just like the former Iraqi Air Force. Just because Simon was not a direct descendant of Saddam, he was almost dismissed and imprisoned by Saddam many times. But every time the war came, Soon, Saddam will use Simon again.
It can be said that Saddam loved and hated General Simon. However, except in the army, basically the people did not know General Simon. Most of the credit was given to the top commander of the Republican Guard, Qusay Hou. Sain is now the actual controller of the Baath Party and the second son of Saddam.
Despite this, Simon has never let Saddam down in many wars. Therefore, in the Republican Guard, all soldiers hold high respect for General Simon, even more than the supreme commander and Saddam himself. In the life-and-death war in Iraq, General Simon, who had never let Saddam down, let him down.
Badr vaguely remembered that he was just a small officer at the time. When the US military landed in Iraq and broke through several important border defense towns in Iraq, 300,000 elite soldiers of the Republic were stationed outside Baghdad. Everyone's faces were filled with despair. More They sacrifice themselves generously. They will fight the last battle for this country, even if they die on the battlefield.
But no one expected that Simon did not issue an order to fight to the death that night. Instead, he issued an order that no one could have imagined. "When you receive this order, you may find it unbelievable, but after careful consideration. I decided to give all my friends who have followed me and sacrificed their lives for this country a chance to choose."
Simon used the term "friend" instead of "subordinate" or "soldier". Balder remembers it clearly and will never forget it in his life.
"You can stay and fight. You can also lay down your weapons and surrender on the spot. If you still believe in me, you can follow me to Iran."
This order caused an uproar in the entire Republican Guard. General Simon actually wanted to defect before the battle. Almost at that moment, the despair on the face of the person who received this order became even more intense. Everyone knew that General Simon was a member of the Republican Guard. There are few generals who are humane. But from the beginning to the end, no matter how Saddam tortured him or imprisoned him, he was loyal to the Baath Party without any complaints.
No. In his own words, he is loyal to Iraq, not to any one person or party.
"Is even General Simon going to abandon Iraq?" This was the common thought of everyone at the time.
In just a moment, the entire Republican Guard collapsed. Badr vaguely remembered the scene that night. Everyone was full of fighting spirit. It was as if they had lost their souls. Some people laid down their weapons and were ready to surrender to the US military on the spot. Some people Some people followed General Simon and left. Some people felt like staying and continuing to fight.
You must know that Saddam asked Simon to serve as the deputy commander of the Republican Guard. But Simon only used a brief order to make the 300,000 Republican Guards that Saddam was proud of. His last bet fell apart. Simon left. After that, Saddam was furious, but he had no choice. Because many elite troops were gone and scattered, and they were no longer in shape.
It is precisely because of this that the US military's attack on Baghdad went surprisingly smoothly. It only used one advance battalion to occupy the entire Baghdad. At that time, even the top commander of the US military could not believe it.
The war in Iraq was fought much more smoothly than the war in Afghanistan. First of all, from the beginning to the end of the war, the entire Iraqi Air Force did not dispatch a single aircraft. This made the coalition forces very confused. They thought they were all scared out of their wits. [
The second is that when they attacked Baghdad, they almost lost their lives. This is a fact. Although they later paid a high price for occupying Iraq, these miracles have been written into the history of American war and used as teaching materials in military schools.
After the war, no one said that Simon was a traitor. This was almost universally recognized in the military. It was precisely because of his order that he indirectly preserved the essence of the Republican Guard. After the fall of Saddam in Iraq, the Americans only wanted their land. After receiving oil, they finally started to fight back in desperation.
/
Badr is one of them. He is the type who surrenders on the spot. But suddenly one day he discovers that the Americans are not the savior. They are not here to solve the poverty in Iraq. American democracy cannot save this country. Instead, it makes Their original lives completely collapsed.
The war in Iraq left millions of casualties on this land, leaving behind devastation and hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans. These orphans did not launch a counterattack against the Americans. They came one after another. Like the Afghans, they left their bodies
Use it as a cover for explosives. Launch an attack on the US military. Launch an attack on anyone who bears the American flag...
"I'm sure that Qusay just invited General Simon back because he didn't want to follow the footsteps of the Mahdi Army." Badr said with a sneer. "With General Simon, you are just a group of villains who only bully your compatriots.
.At this point, you have the right to insult the Prophet.”
If Badr had a lot of dissatisfaction with Soryu before, all of his dissatisfaction has disappeared now. It's just because neither Saddam nor the Americans can give what Soryu gave him.
"Badr. You are already a heretic. You have betrayed this country. You have betrayed your faith. You can't turn back now. Next, you will face the crazy revenge of the entire Baath Party and the entire Iraq." Feisam was furious.
."We will retake Basra. And then we will send you to the gallows."
"Isn't it just war?" Badr suddenly drew out his machete. "If you dare to invade this place, I will beat the shit out of you."
Feisam was startled by Badr's murderous look. He hid a little away and then said: "Then you wait. Who is more powerful, your Prophet Army? Or our Ba'ath Army of the Ba'ath Party. It is General Simon who is more powerful.
You are still more powerful."
Badr slashed the table with the knife, but Feisam was so frightened that he sat on the ground. When he was like this, Badr pulled out the knife and walked up to him, grabbed his collar, and said coldly:
"Don't be afraid. If it had been before, I would have killed you now. But since I became a prophet, I don't do such things easily. Now you can go back and tell Kusai. Also tell General Simon, whom I once respected. If
You are going to invade Basra. You will be greeted first by Badr's sword, and secondly by the entire Prophet's Army and all the people of Basra."
Feisam was so frightened that he peed his pants. Badr did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he sent him out of the country with the best standards.
"This General Simon is really interesting." At the same time, Canglong was reading the information Su presented to him. The conversation between Badr and Feisam in the hotel almost came to Canglong's ears verbatim. At the same time, Simon's
All the information was also collected on his desk.
"You are indeed very capable." Su Ye could not help but admire. "How should we deal with Badr? He is obviously dissatisfied with you."
"Deal with it." Canglong shook his head. "Do you know why I held a meeting for you to discuss it?"
Su looked puzzled. Suddenly, he suddenly realized: "You knew that Badr was dissatisfied, so you amplified this dissatisfaction. Then..."
"Yes. I want the special envoy to tell him that what I gave them cannot be given to Saddam and neither can the Americans. In fact, it is a warning." Canglong smiled. "Now that he has woken up, why do he still have to give it to him?
Deal with him. Now we want his knife. Is it as sharp as he said?"
"Insidious. Cunning. Dark..." Su immediately said a series of words. Seeing Cang Long frowning, Su quickly gave a thumbs up. "Wise."
