Chapter 1128: The Storm in Iraq (Second update, please subscribe)
It finally happened.
While the car was driving, Li Yian leaned back with a cigar between his fingers and his brows furrowed. All he was thinking about was Yu Xiangdong's previous report.
"At six o'clock in the morning on July 14, Qassem launched a military rebellion. The rebel officers and soldiers of the 19th and 20th brigades quickly occupied the palace, radio station, Ministry of Defense, post and telecommunications office, telegraph office, and telephone office , Mobile Police Force Station and Rashid Military Camp. At the same time, tank troops were sent to surround the British Air Force Base in Baghdad."
"What about the King?"
“According to information from the embassy, the king, the crown prince, Princess Shyam, Princess Nafisa, Princess Abadia and other members of the Iraqi royal family and servants were all killed after leaving the palace, although it is not clear whether the royal family How many survived, but what is certain is that the royal family was probably wiped out. "
"At present, their attention is now turned to finding Prime Minister Saied to prevent him from escaping and destroying the coup. Success. The military offered a reward of 10,000 Iraqi dinars and started a large-scale search.”
While recalling Yu Xiangdong’s report, the car had already driven into the manor in the suburbs and stopped. , Li Yian got out of the car, opened the door, and saw Princess Addis. She smiled as soon as she saw Li Yian.
"My dear, it's a bit unlucky for you to come here, Shia just fell asleep."
Shia is his and Princess Addis's child, but it was only a few months ago, two and a half months ago. , they came to Nanyang with the Iraqi Asian Games delegation at Li Yian's request. And stay here forever.
In fact, it was just to avoid this bloody coup, which would hurt them!
What then?
Now this is happening.
Finding that Li Yian's expression seemed a little abnormal, Princess Addis asked.
“What happened?”
"Adis, there is something I need to tell you..."
Then, Li Yian told the other party what happened in Baghdad in as calm a tone as possible. Faced with the sudden news, Princess Adis's eyes instantly She turned red, and her shoulders shook slightly, as if she was holding back tears.
Originally, Li Yian thought she would throw herself into his arms and burst into tears, but surprisingly, she did not do that, but asked with wide eyes.
“Where is my brother?”
That is King Faisal II.
"Executed."
"Where is my aunt?"
That is Princess Abadia.
"Executed."
"My..."
...
The answer is the same, the royal family suffered a massacre!
Almost no one survived.
Faced with such a result, her hands clenched into fists, Princess Addis's expression was suppressed with unconcealable pain, but she just stood there, letting tears slide down her cheeks, as if she was doing What a big decision.
Suddenly, she looked at Li Yian and asked:
"Where is Nuri Said?"
Nuri Said is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Iraq. After the positive changes in history, Nuri first hid and did not hear that the British sent troops the next day. After hearing the news, he thought that Britain supported the coup. He tried to escape disguised as a woman, but was discovered and arrested. Killed and buried on the same day. But in the end, the rebels dug up his body, dragged it through the streets, dumped it, burned it, and dismembered it.
"Do the British support this rebellion?"
Li Yian shook his head.
Princess Addis breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Promise me to help me find Said, not for me, but for our children..."
Looking directly at Li Yi'an, Princess Addis said in an extremely firm tone.
"Now, his only royal heir, as long as he finds Said, he will be able to recruit troops loyal to the royal family. With his support, Shia will wear the crown. He is your child, you We must help him!"
In this way, Addis stared at Li Yi'an, with a firm tone and a resolute expression. It did not have the panic of ordinary girls when facing changes, but more of a sense of responsibility. .
Shia Hui became the king of Iraq!
To be honest, Li Yian did think about this possibility, but it was just a possibility. After all, he had no idea about that land at all. His only idea was the oil underground.
After all, in terms of human development, that area is simply...hard to describe, unless of course they can be fully secularized, but who can do all this?
But secularization is very difficult. Let’s just talk about the local chickens. Starting from Kemal, secularization was forced, and even in order to protect secularization, he even gave the army the power of "military rebellion" Power, but in the end? It still failed to stop the rise of Egypt. Even in the end, Kemal's last line of defense army, which worked hard to manage the secularization of local chickens, suffered heavy losses.
However, after nearly a hundred years of secularization, even if Esultan wanted to retreat, he was faced with many obstacles. Even though Iran failed midway, some achievements were still retained to a certain extent.
I can only say that this is all too difficult!
But in the face of a woman's request, and it also involves Shia... okay!
“Don’t worry, I will help you.”
It wasn’t until Li Yian said these words that Princess Addis, who had been suppressing her inner pain, threw herself into his arms. , burst into tears.
"My brother, my poor brother..."
Princess Addis cried sadly, leaving Li Yian helpless. He had clearly felt the position on his chest, She quickly became wet. You can imagine the feelings between their siblings - their father died when they were young, and they were dependent on each other. Now the reality that her brother and the entire royal family were killed, how could she not feel pain? ?
"Addis, it is understandable to be sad, but the top priority now is to take charge of everything as soon as possible. Shia is still very young, and you need to bear many things. I believe that your brother is in the spirit of heaven, and he will definitely hope that you will take charge of the overall situation. "
Reaching out and patting Her Highness the Princess on the back, Li Yian reminded her in a calm voice that you should shoulder the responsibility of the princess now instead of wiping tears in the arms of your lover. Addis said as he wiped away his tears.
"I know, but we must rescue Said, and..."
Hesitated for a moment, Addis's red eyes flashed A little strange.
"But make sure that none of his children survive!"
The cold words made Li Yi's heart tremble.
“He is my cousin!”
Addis added.
“He is 70 years old. Shia and I need his popularity and help, but we don’t need other threats!”
Well, at this moment, Li Yian finally understood what...
Well, being a mother means being strong!
Sometimes women are like this, even more cruel than men.
Now she is a lioness, and it is not only her country that needs to be protected, but also her children.
So she would never allow anyone to threaten them no matter what.
Li Yian certainly understands this.
……
Gunshot!
The whole day, gunfire echoed in the sky over Baghdad. Military vehicles were rampaging on the streets. Soldiers armed with rifles and submachine guns and violent people filled the streets. Although under the king’s order, the Royal Guards did not Resistance, but the military and police loyal to the royal family still resisted spontaneously, and more were mobs. They took the opportunity to ransack the homes of the rich, rob and kill...
Amidst the gunfire, a man wearing casual clothes Aziz saw no difference among the locals. Occasionally he would be stopped by the military police while driving his car. He would explain his identity, hand over a few banknotes, and then successfully get away from them.
It has to be said that money can solve most problems at any time.
“Where is he?”
Aziz was thinking this in his mind. As an intelligence officer of "Hydra" in Baghdad, Aziz had already When he came here, he once planned the Iraqi army's anti-British offensive. Although it failed, he has been lurking here and later became a member of "Hydra". Now he looks no different from an ordinary Baghdad man.
"The British base is outside the city. It's a little too far there, and the British troops have already evacuated. There are only a few British people staying in the base now, and they will definitely not go there. Where is the British Embassy? So far, the UK has not expressed its position, so will he think that the military rebellion is supported by the UK? "
Thinking about this in his mind, Aziz vaguely understood where the other party was going - the US Embassy.
For Said, there is currently only one place in Baghdad that is relatively safe, the U.S. Embassy. However, the other party obviously knows that this is the only safe place. The road leading to the U.S. Embassy has been blocked by rebels. On the streets, people were everywhere searching for Said. They would even lift women's black robes to check their identities.
While Aziz was driving the car and looking for possible partners, some foreigners were kicked out by the mob in the hotel next to us, and several of them shouted in horror.
“American, American...”
They tried to use their identity as Americans to protect themselves, but the mob ignored them at all and pushed them to their knees on the ground. They screamed in horror and knelt on the ground. It seemed that they already understood what they were going to face. They cried loudly and begged. Some people even took out banknotes and tried to bribe them.
But the shouts were quickly interrupted by screams. The mob slashed at them with machetes. The foreigners who were kneeling on the ground were chopped down to the ground. The front of the hotel was a mess of blood and flesh.
At this, Aziz just glanced briefly, and then continued to drive forward. Just as he was driving through a street and was about to leave, a woman wearing a black robe came into view. The woman was taller, She is a bit fat, although it is not very conspicuous, but her walking posture is somewhat different from that of women.
"Maybe..."
Stop the car and Aziz walked over. When the woman saw someone coming, she wanted to hurry up, but Aziz quickly spoke in English in a low voice. said the voice.
“There are rebels everywhere in front, and they are searching everyone!”
After being reminded like this, the “woman” stopped, looked at him with some confusion, and said ：
"Who are you?"
As expected, it was a man's voice, who else could it be if it wasn't Said.
This guy actually put on makeup to look like a woman, and didn’t even look at her body shape.
“I am the one who helps you,”
Aziz explained again.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is currently contacting other countries to intervene, and now she needs your help."
Hearing this, Said said with some excitement.
"Your Highness the Princess...are you talking about Addis? Yes, she is abroad now, just abroad. She will definitely be able to win the intervention of other countries..."
"Okay Now is not the time to chat, now we have to get you out of here safely."
Soon, Said got into the trunk, and after Aziz started the car, he headed straight for it. Driving towards the Nanyang Embassy, there were no military police or mobs in that direction. Many of them may not have even heard of Nanyang...
