To carry out the task?Liard said, "Excuse me, do you have an order signed by the Ministry of Defense?"

Just now, after receiving the news that the vice president came to inspect, Liard was still a little puzzled. Hasn't the vice president been abroad all the time?Why did you come back suddenly, and then came to inspect?

He wanted to confirm it to his superiors, but the Minister of Defense was not in the Ministry of Defense, nor was the Chief of Staff, and other people could not provide accurate information, because Rifaat's return to China was likely to be secret. Only the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff know.

Then, the deputy division commander began to encourage Liard to come to greet him, and he had no chance to think about anything else, because Rifat's car had already driven into the headquarters in such a short period of time.

"Yes, of course there is an order from the Ministry of Defense. In the recent situation, you may have heard the secret news." Rifaat said: "Now, it is the most dangerous time in Syria. Several bombings, especially in our capital Damascus, where Jews have secretly infiltrated a large number of agents, our army must immediately move into Damascus and search for rebellious Jews."

By the time they said this, they had already entered the conference room of the division headquarters.

Hearing this sentence, Liad suddenly felt a kind of doubt in his heart. There are enough armed forces in Damascus. For example, the elite Republican Guards are stationed in Damascus. They have enough ability to maintain the stability in Damascus. , to search for those possible Jewish saboteurs, is it necessary for them to dispatch?

"Now, the situation in Syria is critical, we must act quickly!" Rifat said: "I ordered the [-]th Armored Division to dispatch immediately, enter Damascus, and search for terrorists!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen senior commanders of the armored division, including Deputy Division Commander Faris, replied immediately.

Hearing this, Liad felt a surge of fear in his heart. He is not a fool, and he has already guessed what the vice president is thinking. There are no rebels and terrorists in Damascus!If they go, they are the biggest rebels!

The [-]th Armored Division must not participate in the rebellion, and must not let Syria fall into civil strife!Liard knew that most of the commanders, including his deputy division commander, might have already pledged their allegiance to Rifat. No, they were Rifaat's people in the first place!

Riad was sent by President Hafiz to the [-]th Armored Division from the Ministry of National Defense to take over the power of the Republican Guard after Bazier took over the power of the Republican Guard. Er's staunch supporter.

However, the president only replaced the division commander and some people. Most of the commanders of the [-]th Armored Division are still the same people. The president wants to influence them and make them obey the president. It has no effect at all.

Although Liard knew that there might already be militants outside the meeting room at this time, and these people were all his subordinates, and now they were about to raise their guns at him, but he still had to do his best !

"In the absence of the Ministry of Defense, without the order signed by the president himself, commanding the army privately and entering Damascus is a rebellion!" Liad raised his voice and said to Rifat: "Vice President, what is your order?"

"Here." Rifaat took out the order.

Liad glanced at it. The above was an order signed by Rifaat, not President Hafiz.

"This order needs to be signed by the president to be effective," Liard said.

"Yes, it needs to be signed by the president to be effective. Now, I officially announce that I have taken over the presidency of Syria." Rifaat said: "Now, I order, the Fourth Armored Division, to immediately advance to Damascus and take over Damascus. defense, to prevent rebellion."

As he spoke, a large number of armed men poured in from outside the conference room.

"The president died a few hours ago on the operating table in the Damascus hospital from an acute heart attack. As the vice president of Syria, I will naturally take over the presidency," Rifat said.

"Impossible, even if the president has a physical condition, there is still His Excellency Basil!" Liard said.

"Basil was already one step ahead. He died in an accidental explosion yesterday," Rifat said.

"Impossible, impossible!" Liard said: "In short, without the president's consent, you are rebelling if you mobilize troops without permission!"

Liard then said to the armed men who surrounded him: "I order you as the commander of the [-]th Armored Division. Now immediately put down your weapons and retreat to your own barracks. I may not punish you for this action."

"Now, you are no longer the commander of the [-]th Armored Division." Rifat said: "Now, I order that, in view of Mr. Liard's physical problems, Faris will take over the [-]th Armored Division!"

"Yes!" Faris said, they had discussed it a long time ago. After the matter is completed, Faris will take over the Fourth Armored Division.

"Now, I order the [-]th Armored Division to set off for Damascus immediately!"

"Yes!" Faris immediately went to issue a combat mission. Following Faris, those who were loyal to Rifaat also began to return to their troops. According to the pre-arranged arrangement, their teams began to gather and march towards Damascus !

Liard knew that he could not stop this rebellion, and he couldn't bear it. Seeing that the Syrian army was about to kill each other, he had tried his best.

"Liad, you will see that Syria will become stronger under my leadership." Rifaat was very happy after successfully completing the operation to take over the [-]th Armored Division. Now, he has successfully captured Damascus. The people in the Republican Guard are starting to move now, right?

At dusk, residents of Damascus suddenly noticed that tanks and armored vehicles were coming from several directions outside the city.

... "President Qusay, there is an emergency in Syria." Qusay was considering the next move when he received the news.

"What's the situation?" Qusay asked Balzan.

"The [-]th Armored Division of Syria, stationed in the north of Damascus, entered the urban area of ​​Damascus when it was dark."

Fourth Armored Division?Qusay knew that this was a second-line armored division in Syria. It was transferred from the rear when the front line in the Golan Heights was tight, and it has been stationed in northern Damascus since then.

The interior of Damascus is guarded by the Republican Guard. This is the only Syrian army allowed to appear in the capital Damascus. Then, the [-]th Armored Division entered Damascus for no reason. The biggest possibility is that Rifat has already started operations!

"Pick me up to Riyadh immediately, I need to discuss with King Fahd again," Qusay said.

At this time, the situation is already very urgent. If King Fahd still shirks, then Iraq will act on its own.

7 Chapter Ninety: Israel Is Destroying the United States

In Qusay’s heart, Syria is of great significance to Iraq. It is very important to establish a Syrian regime that is pro-Iraq. Therefore, for Iraq’s strategic situation, Syria is a difficult problem that they must conquer. .

Like Saddam in later generations, it is extremely wrong to directly launch an attack on Kuwait. Wars cannot be launched casually. There must be sufficient reasons, and at least the consent of the Arab countries is required to conduct a just war. is allowed.

Syria's outstanding leader, President Hafez-Assad, who has been in power for the longest time in the Middle East, is firmly at odds with Iraq. Facts have proved that Qusay wants to use probation to make Hafez Gradually leaning toward Iraq, even if it can be successful, it will take a long process and require Qusay's "please" many times.

But now, history has taken another turning point, giving Qusay a good opportunity to help Assad consolidate his regime to realize Iraq's goals in Syria and establish a good relationship between the two countries!

Qusay has received news that the London side has been successful, Bashar has been rescued and will return to the Middle East soon.It is not enough to just support Bashar. Qusay has already singled out several important figures in the Syrian army who have always been friendly with Iraq. For example, Major General Manaf is at the top. If they come to power, then these people should be reused by Bashar. As for the staunch anti-Iraq faction like the former Minister of Defense Mustafa, they should be resolutely let such people leave the center of power in Syria.

Qusay is preparing to arrange the future of Syria, as if he has seen how important the emergence of a pro-Iraq Syria is to Iraq!

Of course, there are many problems in this. For example, now, another conspiracy in Syria, Rifat, has already started to act.

If Iraq wants to help the Syrian regime achieve a smooth transition, it needs to help Syria restore peace. Therefore, Iraq needs to dispatch troops to help Syria counter the rebellion!

The counter-insurgency in Iraq requires the support of other countries in the Middle East. Qusay knows this well. Therefore, Qusay had previously had a phone call with King Fahd, but King Fahd did not fully agree with this point of view. .

This time, the situation was critical. Although Iraq would have no problems militarily if it insisted on going its own way, it would face political pressure. Therefore, Qusay spoke with King Fahd again on the phone.

Unexpectedly, this call made Qusay very surprised.

King Fahd agreed to Iraq's proposal, and it is necessary to help the Syrian regime achieve a smooth transition, help Syria stabilize their situation, and help by force when necessary.

Moreover, the Saudi side is willing to use their troops to help maintain the status quo in the Golan Heights and prevent them from being attacked by Israel when Iraq uses its armed forces in the Golan Heights.

After receiving King Fahd's reply, Qusay was very happy, and immediately made the armored troops that had already been prepared fully ready for combat, ready to charge into Damascus at any time to help Syria counter the rebellion.

"President, Marwan is back," a secretary reported.

The cause of this incident was the surprise attack by Israeli special forces on Iraq's oil pipeline in Syria, which caused a series of problems.Now, Marwan finally successfully completed the task and came back to report to Qusay.

The most elite special forces under him are the Rattlesnake Special Forces. Every time they are assigned tasks, they can always complete them very well. Qusay immediately said: "Let Marwan come over, I want to see him."

In the past, Qusay’s starting unit, now, many of them have been assigned to more important positions by Qusay, such as Warih, who became the commander of No. [-] troops, such as Hades, who established a new organization The Marine Corps, and Marwan remained loyally in the Rattlesnake Special Forces, controlling the most capable special forces.

"President." Marwan stood at attention, saluted Qusay, and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Marwan of the Rattlesnake Special Forces came to report."

"Sit down, Marwan, you don't need to be so polite." Qusay said, "This mission went well."
