Chapter 164 The Assassin (Part [-])
Chapter 164 The Assassination ([-])——
Outside, Vice President Mubarak and Defense Minister Abu al-Ghazaleh, fully dressed, waited nearby. "novel"
"Your Excellency, the intelligence agencies said that there might be someone in the parade that would be against His Excellency, so we would like to ask His Excellency to cancel this parade," Mubarak said.
"Cancel?" Sadat smiled: "As the president of the Egyptian people, I am not afraid of plots and assassinations. If the military parade is temporarily canceled, wouldn't it make others laugh?" Especially those Arab brother countries, they should not be ridiculed by them: !
"The original plan remains unchanged," Sadat said.
Victory Square was already crowded with people.
The stands were already full of military dignitaries, people from all walks of life, journalists, etc., while in the audience, the troops undergoing inspection in the distance had been lined up neatly and were ready to start at any time.
Sadat wore a brand-new marshal uniform, a green ribbon of the Star of Sinai on his shoulders, and shiny leather boots on his feet, and walked slowly onto the parade platform.
Suddenly, there was shouting and boiling all around.
This is the Egyptian people, and they themselves are still loved by the people!
Sadat waved his hand, quieted the crowd, and stood in his position: on the semi-circular parade platform only twenty meters away from the parade site.
Below the parade, every few meters, there is a guard with a gun, watching all around vigilantly.
They are the most loyal and reliable army deployed by General Masri this time, and they are tasked with protecting the president. Each of them has been carefully screened to ensure that there are no problems.
However, he was still worried.
"Leave the guards in front, they are blocking my view:," President Sadat said.
withdraw?Hearing the president's order, Masri frowned.
"Your Excellency, you should stay away from the reviewing troops, which is prone to problems." Masri said that although he had carefully checked the reviewing team and did not carry any live ammunition, he was still afraid of problems.
"They are all my children, what's the problem with me being with them?" Sadat said.
Sadat was born in the army. It can be said that the army is his foundation. He never doubted his army.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Masri had no choice but to withdraw the guards at the front of the parade.
Sadat looked at the clear sky, and the Nile River in the distance was shining in the sun. Today is really a rare good weather!
Sitting on his right, Mubarak glanced at the president and began to worry about his safety.
Abu Ghazala on the left began to solemnly read the Koran, and the audience fell silent.
After reading aloud, he began to announce that the military parade has officially begun!
"Right now, the most elite army in our Arab countries, the brave Egyptian soldiers, are being inspected by our commander. The first ones are the armored troops that rushed to the Sinai Peninsula in the Yom Kippur War eight years ago. Look, they're coming to us."
Eight years ago, the astonishing performance of the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula made countries all over the world respect this army. They were not like before, retreating at the slightest contact. They marched forward bravely and did not fear sacrifices. human example.
The &-62 tank began to drive up with a bang, and immediately, there was a cheer from the auditorium, and reporters from various countries began to press the shutter to record the wonderful moments one by one.
Sadat stood up and watched his lion come slowly.
The commander's upper body exposed the turret, and he solemnly saluted the rostrum.
Sadat also raised his right hand in return, these are his army!
Then, the infantry phalanx came over and saluted the rostrum in unison.
After the infantry formation, paratroopers, armored vehicles, and missile formations followed.
"Look, there are our Egyptian eagles in the sky, and they are flying towards us!" said the narrator.
At this time, above the head, several Soviet-made MiG-23s flew over against the blue sky.
Although Sadat was born in the army, unlike Saddam Hussein, he also attached great importance to the air force. Seeing the proud son of heaven flying, he was filled with joy.
He stood up and waved to the sky.
The fighter pilots in the sky seemed to know it, and pulled out three colors of red, white and blue, which were the colors of the Egyptian flag, and the scene suddenly became more lively.
At this time, in the last artillery phalanx, Lieutenant Khalid's expression was a little nervous. He touched the grenade behind him and clenched the submachine gun in his hand.
Unlike others, the grenade was not a trainer round, and his gun had no blank rounds in it.
They are all real guys, he has waited for a long time, and finally this day has arrived!
Khalid is a religious extremist. He believes that Israel has invaded the territory of the Palestinian brothers and expelled fellow Muslims. However, because of fear, his own side signed a friendly agreement with the enemy Israel!Moreover, it is also very humiliating that only 60.00% of the territory of the Sinai Peninsula was returned!
This is simply an act of treason. This kind of person is not worthy of being the leader of Egypt!
As the convoy moved slowly, the truck he was riding in was getting closer and closer to the parade.
Finally, through the car window, Khalid saw the person on the parade stand that he hated so much.
God bless!He said something silently in his heart, and jumped out of the car without hesitation.
Behind him, there were three companions who jumped down together and rushed towards the parade.
Sadat and others on the parade platform saw this strange scene, but did not react. Sadat thought that these soldiers wanted to salute him, so he even stood up, waiting to return the salute.
This is his army, absolutely loyal to him.
Khalid took out a grenade from behind and threw it towards the parade first.
Only then did the people on the parade platform realize that these soldiers were here to assassinate the president!
The secret "Green" Fitz behind Sadat was the first to react, shouting: "Assassin! President, get down!" and ran over quickly, hoping to use his body to block the bullet for the president.
Sadat remained motionless, his heart was suddenly filled with sorrow.
After throwing the grenade, Khalid took out his submachine gun and fired violently at the rostrum.
At this moment, everyone reacted, and the TV announcer who was broadcasting the military parade live choked up and said: "Assassins, traitors, fellow citizens, Egypt..." At this point, the TV screen was completely black.
Khalid has rushed to a place close to the reviewing stand.At this time, a reporter jumped out and blocked his way without hesitation, shouting righteously: "You traitor!"
Khalid didn't say a word, and shot the past, knocking the daring guy to the ground.The people next to him who still wanted to come over never dared to move again.
Looking at Sadat who is close at hand, Khalid showed a ferocious smile on his face, and all the bullets poured over without hesitation... Please remember the URL, if you like "Babylonian Empire" written by Huadong Zhixiong
