Chapter 331 Close to Defense Secretary Adnan
Chapter 331 Getting close to Defense Minister Adnan
"Uncle," Zhang Feng said at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous dinner, "Thank you for your kind hospitality."
"Where, we are a family, but we usually work hard for this country and don't have time to interact." Adnan said: "When you come here this time, you'll be as good as your own."
In Baghdad, Zhang Feng was invited by Defense Minister Adnan to have a meal at his house.
Adnan is the brother of Kusai’s biological mother Sajda Helala, so the blood relationship between them is very close.
However, due to various relationships, these relatives were very close to Udai, and their minds were the same. Until later, Kusai emerged and his power became increasingly greater. Until now, President Saddam had intended to train Kusai as his successor, so they began to think about how to get closer to Kusai.
Adnan first started and invited Kusai to have a meal at his house.
Zhang Feng had some concerns, thinking that he would keep a little further away from these people, so as not to feel suspicious. However, considering his idiot brother, he suddenly changed his mind.
That idiot brother has to stimulate him again, and it will be a matter of time before he can get closer to these people.
At present, all Zhang Feng's forces are in the Southern Military Region and the North, and it is still the world of my father. However, it is very important for him to develop and get closer to these people.
In the Middle East, the military leaders have great real power, and all rebellions were initiated by generals. Therefore, it is very important to keep the army firmly in your own hands.
All the senior military leaders came from President Saddam's hometown, Tikrit, and they also had contact with each other. This is a special group.
The Southern Military Region has never been valued by his father. The situation has only improved since Zhang Feng went to the Southern Military Region. Therefore, the proportion of officers from other places in the Southern Military Region is larger. However, the commander of the Military Region, Yizart is still President Saddam's brother.
Unlike Saddam who is very sharp, Adnan is a modest person, a simple life, and does not indulge in power. He has a very good relationship with Saddam. Adnan graduated from the Military Academy and served in the Iraqi army for many years and made friends from all walks of life. At that time, President Becker and Saddam spent a lot of time to convince him to accept the position of Minister of Defense...
Adnan can be said to be the pillar of Iraq and is deeply loved by everyone.
So, after receiving the invitation from this uncle, Zhang Feng finally decided to attend the banquet.
This was a very normal dinner. There was a basket of big cakes in the middle of the table, and then there were a dozen large and small plates of large and small place like stars arched by the moon. There were bright red tomato salads, tender green sour cucumber strips, green lettuce, chopped and mixed with fennel, traditional Arabic delicious "Homes" sauce, sour grape leaves wrapped in meat, fried fish balls, and a very thin and thin raw mutton paste, several dishes of traditional roasted lamb, and hand-pickled rice.
Sitting at the dining table were Adnan and his wife, as well as two daughters of similar age as Zhang Feng.
Although according to Muslim etiquette, when there are guests, women have to wear facial towels even when they have meals, both parties are relatives and are considered family members, so they are very comfortable.
"Kusai, don't be polite, eat!" Adnan said.
Zhang Feng really wanted to say that these things actually did not meet his appetite. He always liked to ask the chef to make authentic Chinese food for him. However, looking at the things on the table, Zhang Feng had to pretend to like it very much and start to use the knife and fork.
And the two Adnan's daughters always looked at Zhang Feng while eating, which gave Zhang Feng an unknown premonition.
"Kusai, you are not young anymore. Do you have any of my two daughters?" asked Adnan's wife, Kusai's aunt.
Suddenly, the two daughters blushed. Although they knew that they both liked Kusai very much, he was the most famous god of war in Iraq!
"This..." Zhang Feng didn't expect that this aunt would not treat herself as an outsider and speak so directly.
Zhang Feng really wants to say that close relatives cannot get married. Otherwise, due to the same genetic genes, two recessive disease genes will be manifested, and the offspring will have greater dementia. Isn’t his brother just a brainless person?
However, in Iraq, this kind of intimate marriage is too common, so Zhang Feng can't say that.
"At present, my mission is to protect Iraq and defeat the Persians. As for the issue of marriage, I have never considered it. I am less than 20 years old. I will talk about this later." Zhang Feng said.
"Yes, Kusai is our God of War. How do you ask such a question?" Adnan also said blamingly, but after a change of the subject, he continued: "However, it's good to have a woman taking care of your diet and daily life, and you can work with peace of mind."
?Zhang Feng suddenly became alert. He was not hinting at his life secretary, right?
Fortunately, the topic immediately changed. Zhang Feng took a bite of the mutton: "Aunt, the mutton you roasted is so delicious!"
After dinner, sitting on a chair leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Feng held a cup of "Kachwa", which was rich and fragrant, mixed with the aroma of roasted coffee beans and spicy cardamom powder.
He took a sip and chatted with Adnan next to him.
"Kusai, now the combat effectiveness of the Southern Military Region has made great progress, and you have made great contributions." Adnan said.
"God blessed, the Southern Military Region has won several victories, but our battle is still going on." Zhang Feng said. "Iraq wants to become a big country and defeat Iran, it is only the first step."
"You said, can we really defeat Iran?" Adnan asked. At this time, Adnan didn't look like Iraq's defense minister at all, but like a local bun in the desert who had never seen the prosperity of the city.
"Uncle, we fight for our own interests in the end, not to talk about interests, but to fight for the Middle East. That is unwise. At present, we have controlled the main crude oil production areas in southwestern Iran and obtained important sea outlets. For us, it is the greatest benefit. Occupying the entire Iran is not the most suitable choice." Zhang Feng said.
Adnan knew that his nephew had a great experience.
"At the same time, if our northern military region invades northern Iran, it will be able to obtain important grain-producing land and mineral resources, which will be of great benefit to our development. However, at present, we do not have the strength and there is no need to occupy the entire Iran." Zhang Feng continued, and after he said that, he suddenly felt that he was inappropriate: "Uncle, I have said this, it is a transcendence."
"No, you're right!" Adnan said.
Adnan was very worried because, with the victory of the Southern Military Region, President Saddam's self-esteem began to swell extremely. He was already thinking about annexing all of Iran and establishing a large Babylonian empire.
And this Kusai is more clear when looking at the problem. Adnan knows that Kusai's views are all very correct.
Just when Zhang Feng was "leisurely" visiting relatives in Baghdad, on the other hand, he was still nervous.
It was already dark, and Beirut Airport was closed. Apart from a few lights that were still on the command tower, it was pitch black.
At this time, the Boeing 707 passenger plane had been stopped at Beirut Airport for eight hours, but the aviation fuel they requested was not recharged, and the two young men finally got impatient.
As soon as I landed here, I was very kind to speak on the tower. Since the situation in Lebanon is always tense, it has led to a shortage of various supplies and the precious aviation fuel is gone, so I have to wait for the fuel truck to come.
However, there is no shortage of water and food, so a few hours ago, after negotiations between the two sides, some food and fresh water were added to the plane.
However, it is unknown whether these things can enter the hands of the hostages.
At this time, the atmosphere in the cabin was still as depressed as ever, and the entire cabin was waiting for an unknown fate tremblingly. Just now, each of them had a small saliva, and no one dared to call him hungry. The two Middle Eastern youths were in a good mood and had a full meal.
There were two elderly people who were overly frightened and incontinent, and a special smell filled the cabin.
The two of them are actually two loyal Khomeini elements of the Iranian Republic Guard. They have been on the front line of the Iranian-Iran war and even if they sit dead, they can eat, let alone now.
(Persians account for 51% of the Iranians, and some Arabs are also some. So, as mentioned earlier, these two people are Arabs, both loyal to Khomeini, and they carried out a hijacking operation.)
All of this is a trap set by the Iranians. Since the Americans who took the embassy last time as hostages, Iran has become very ambitious. The Americans suffered a lot under their hands and finally negotiated with them to resolve the problem.
So, this time, they wanted to repeat the same trick and let the Americans agree to their request: replace hostages with weapons.
However, this matter cannot be done too blatantly. Even last time, it was just said that it was a patriotic behavior of ordinary Iranian students and had nothing to do with the government.
And this time, even more so, they took hostages and had to find someone to negotiate in the middle, which was better. Now is an opportunity. In Beirut, Arafat is a good candidate. If he can stand on his own side, everything will be easy. Therefore, in their statement, they added the demands for Israel to the forefront.
If Arafat does not stand on their side, they will only take the hostages back to Tehran, which is the safest way. Of course, they will not admit that they are Iranians. They just chose Iran. Therefore, it is most appropriate for them to implement this plan for two Arabs, who only account for a small number of Iranian population.
Khomeini was also very vicious. He wanted to bring the entire Arab world into it. After this incident, the Arabs had to undergo the strictest inspection when boarding the plane, so that everyone hated Khomeini very much.
A sound suddenly came from the radio.
"Winning flight 832, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it."
The captain picked up the headset and was immediately taken by a tall Middle Easterner: "Recharge the fuel immediately, otherwise I will shoot the hostage!"
They really can't wait. Now they have to behave like a show for them and know that they will definitely take action at critical moments. Anyway, the two American Marines who were beaten badly by them have long wanted to take action.
"I am Yasir Arafat. You may have heard my name. I want to negotiate with you. Please release the elderly, children and women in the plane first." Arafat said calmly. At this time, he had arrived at the airport and negotiated with the hijackers through the tower radio. Because he was using a public channel, he was immediately received by many people.
