Chapter 583 Internal Conflict

The United States is going to launch a nuclear strike to save the current decline! This news quickly spread throughout the world!

When Iraq used ballistic missiles to teach the United States a lesson, it had to expect this result! Now, facing a nuclear attack from the United States, what should the Iraqis do?

In the underground command room in Baghdad, Iraq's top brass looked gloomy.

"The Americans are so despicable. God knows, if the Americans really use nuclear weapons, our sacred land will be defiled by them!" The man who spoke had a big beard and was one of the important leaders of the Iraqi armed forces, Lieutenant General Hazraj, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

"We must never compromise. Now, our army is about to enter Riyadh, and the president's unfinished business will soon be completed in our hands!" said Defense Minister Adnan.

"Adnan, you sound nice, but what should we do when the American nuclear bomb falls on our heads?" Another person spoke up: "Even if our underground command structure can withstand the bombardment of nuclear bombs, there are still hundreds of thousands of ordinary people above us. Should we let them die under the bombardment of nuclear bombs?"

Adnan looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was Taha Yassin Ramadan, the second-in-command of the Baath Party. Adnan was immediately furious. These guys! The president's body is still warm, and they are actually thinking about fighting for power!

American planes bombed Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The bombing by these planes, which came and went without a trace, just happened to kill Iraqi President Saddam! This news has not been released to the outside world yet, but because of the sudden interruption of Saddam's speech, many people guessed something.

President Saddam has died, and his last wish must be fulfilled to restore the former glory of the Babylonian Empire!

But now, Taha is playing against him, and Taha has only one goal, to compete for the position of the supreme leader of Iraq! Adnan originally had no desire for this position, he just wanted to avenge Saddam and realize his ideals, but now, Taha has begun to challenge him!

Adnan looked over and saw anger on the faces of Watban, Balzan and others. Apparently, kinship was still very important. These people were on Adnan's side. However, the expression on the face of Rashid, the commander of the Republican Guard, was very intriguing. This guy must have been bribed by Taha!

Could it be that a coup was launched here? Just from Taha's words, Adnan keenly sensed the crisis. Now, Iraq's great cause has not yet been accomplished, but it has to face an internal split first! How sad!

Saddam is the Eagle of Babylon, no one can replace him! When Saddam was there, the whole of Iraq was full of vitality, but now, with the death of Saddam, the whole country is about to fall into chaos! It's really speechless!

Adnan's brain was working rapidly. Now, Adnan's direct troops were fighting outside. The only ones left in Baghdad were a security force of Watban, with no more than a thousand people. And outside the city of Baghdad, there was a mechanized infantry division of Rashid's Republican Guard. This was the reason why Taha dared to attack, right?

Although the members of the Republican Guard all come from Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, Saddam is dead after all. The current Republican Guard will only obey the orders of their superiors because their object of loyalty has disappeared.

"It's great that you're all here." Just then, a voice came from outside.

Hearing the voice, Adnan was immediately delighted. It was General Andrei, a good friend of President Saddam and also Iraq’s most important ally, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Turkestan Military District!

Because the US attack was too sudden, General Andre stayed in Baghdad. At the same time, he participated in the formulation of the plan by the Iraqi top leaders in a capacity approved by President Saddam. Now, when conflicts arise among the Iraqi top leaders, it is most appropriate for outsiders to mediate.

Adnan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Andre was followed in by a tall young man and a shorter, slightly fatter young man. At this moment, the shorter young man had tears in his eyes.

Uday and Qusay? Adnan was stunned when he saw the two children. Uday, the oldest, was only 18 years old, and Qusay was only 16 years old. Why did Andre bring these two children here?

"Uncle, we want to avenge our father!" Looking at Adnan, the older Uday said with hatred in his eyes. His gaze swept from Adnan to the others, as if he was expecting something and demonstrating.

Revenge for Saddam! Now that the president of Iraq has been killed by the United States, Iraq must take revenge!

Looking at Uday, Taha's eyelids suddenly twitched. He felt that the situation was more complicated than he had expected.

Adnan is the brother of the brothers' mother, Sajida Khailallah, and their uncle. At the same time, Sajida Khailallah is also Saddam's cousin, so the blood relationship is very close.

The arrival of the two brothers instantly changed the atmosphere here.

"Uday, Qusay, you don't know that the Americans are now going to use nuclear weapons to attack us." Taha tried his best to keep his voice calm and said to the two of them.

"So what if they use nuclear weapons? Will my father's revenge not be avenged? Will my father's unfinished business not be completed?" Uday said, looking at him coldly: "This is a test from the true God to us Iraq. We must not retreat!"

"But…"

"But what? Taha, do you want to change the policy formulated by your father?" Uday's eyes suddenly became stern. He was young, but his eyes were filled with hostility.

"Also, I have something to announce." Uday said, "When father was alive, he relied on us brothers. Now that father has passed away, we brothers need to take over his banner and continue to move forward along the path designed by father."

Uday's words have made it very clear that the son should inherit his father's business, and the banner of Iraq needs Uday to carry it!

Taha suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. What a joke! Just the two of you? You've only just come of age! A little brat who is still wet behind the ears wants to be the leader of Iraq? His aura is comparable to Saddam's, but in terms of experience, he is still too green, right?

"Now I declare that my brother Qusay is the new commander of the Republican Guard," Uday continued.
