Babylonian Empire

Zhang Feng has been in deep thought. The Middle East has always been called a gunpowder keg. At the beginning, I didn’t think too much about it. Now I stick my head out of the military and look around. It’s very difficult to realize my father’s dream. Ah!

... Yasser?Arafat, who is over half a century old, has traces of vicissitudes on his face. His life is full of legends. Arafat, the proud son of Palestine, has personally experienced the baptism of four Middle East wars and has been committed to fighting for the restoration of Palestine. The just cause of enforcing the legitimate national rights of the people has been exhausted until now.

Sitting in the plane and taking off from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, Arafat went straight to Baghdad.

For a long time, Arafat had no place to settle down in his homeland, so he had to travel around for the cause of Palestine.He is the leader who flies the most in the world, and is nicknamed the "President of the Air".

What Arafat couldn't let go of most was Egypt's treachery and private peace talks with Israel.

In several Middle East wars, Egypt has always been the leader. If the United States is the leader of the Western world, then Egypt is the leader of the Arab world. Egypt can directly threaten the west of Israel, allowing Israel to form a pattern of fighting on both sides.

However, Egypt actually chose to negotiate peace with Israel privately. In the Arab world, the tall image of Egypt collapsed, and no one trusted Egypt anymore. Egypt has been marginalized by the spit stars and can no longer participate in Middle East affairs. Come.

However, Arafat still expressed deep sympathy for Sadat's assassination and death. He has always been very disgusted with this kind of behavior. The collapse of Palestine, one of the powerful arms supporting Palestine is missing, and after decades of fighting, in the Arab countries, people who look at Palestine with blind eyes have also begun to increase.

Arafat has already felt that there are some people who went to Riyadh this time, and he began to be a little cynical. However, King Khalid still welcomed his arrival, and once again stated that he would provide 500 million yuan to the PLO dollar aid.

However, when it comes to Iraq, it is difficult to say, because Iraq is at war with Iran, I am afraid that I am dissatisfied with a membership like myself who came to seek support, but as long as there is any hope, then we must do our best Moreover, he heard that Saddam's second son, Qusay, was very good at fighting, and he also wanted to hear some opinions of this military talent.

………… The private plane slid into the tarmac slowly. As soon as the cabin door was opened, Arafat stepped out of the cabin with one foot, and he heard the familiar rhythm from the airport.

My country, my country, the land of my ancestors.My country, my country, my country, my people, in this immortal people are my will, my torch, my volcano of vengeance, the land and home where my blood boils.I have crossed mountains and mountains to fight, I have crossed chasms against all odds.My country, my country, this immortal people with the determination of the wind and the fury of the gun, the determination to fight to the end for my people on home soil.Palestine is my home, Palestine is my torch, Palestine is the eternal land of my vengeance.My country, my country, eternal nation-state, I swear by the flag to the fire of nation nation and suffering, I must live, I must act, I must sacrifice, until my country is restored, my country, eternal The nation-state!

Following the rhythm and beat in his heart, Arafat couldn't help singing the familiar Palestinian national anthem.

The author of this national anthem is Muhammad?Dawishi was born in a village near the famous Palestinian city of Galilee in 1942. After the outbreak of the First Middle East War in 194, his hometown was occupied by Israel, and he and his family were forced to leave their hometown.In exile in Arab countries and Europe for nearly half a century, Muhammad?Dawishi was imprisoned by the Israeli occupation authorities for three times, and wrote many beautiful and touching patriotic poems behind bars. My country is one of them.

Arafat thought of the occupied land, the repeated bullying of Palestine since several Middle East wars, the destroyed homeland, and the Palestine refugees in Jordan, his eyes were already moist.

No matter how hard he is, no matter how much resistance he encounters, the dream of a Palestinian state is the goal of his life!Arafat looked at the welcome crowd below, and walked down firmly.

Among the group, a young general in the middle looked so outstanding, so young, so powerful!

Seeing Arafat getting off the plane, Zhang Feng stepped forward and said, "Hi Uncle, I welcome you on behalf of Iraq, and at the same time send my father, President Saddam, the most cordial greetings."

"Qusay, you are truly an eagle in the Middle East. When I saw you today, you are indeed a boy born from a hero." Needless to say, Arafat also knew that the man in front of him was Qusay, who has been in the limelight recently?Abdullah got it.

At the scene, the reporter's camera was brightly lit. Zhang Feng knew that tomorrow, it would be on the headlines of newspapers around the world. The leader of the PLO Palestine Liberation Organization entered Yasser?Arafat's visit to Iraq received a warm welcome. Since Egypt withdrew its support for Palestine, Iraq has clearly stood at the forefront of supporting Arafat.

This is what Zhang Feng wanted. He knew that his father was a bit uncertain because he was caught in the Iran-Iraq war, but he also knew that in his father's heart, his desire to be the leader of the Arab world was unwavering.

Since the peace talks between Egypt and Israel have been spurned by the Arab world, Syria wants to sit in this boss position, and Iraq also wants to sit.

Supporting Palestine with a clear-cut banner will naturally leave a good image in the Arab world. Anyway, Israel can tear up its face and bomb Iraq's nuclear reactors. It is only natural that Iraq blatantly supports Palestine.

More importantly, Iraq does not border Israel, so no matter how loudly you shout, there will not be too much danger. Besides, Zhang Feng knows that in the eyes of Israel, he has long been a nail.

It is very important to accompany the king like a tiger, to figure out the meaning, and to know the father's mind.

"Please invite Uncle Yasser to the Baghdad Hotel, where we will welcome Uncle and his party." Zhang Feng said.

This kind of moment is ceremonial, and there will be no substantive questions. Therefore, after Arafat answered, he sat in the waiting car.

In the terminal building, Yurid looked at the back of the convoy and murmured, "You are all under my watchful eyes. Let's see what tricks you play. No one can hurt Your Excellency Qusay!"

His intelligence agency has already received news that Uday is going to have a conspiracy against His Excellency Qusay, and one of Arafat's subordinates will be involved in it. They have been monitoring Uday. As a result, after successfully rescuing They obtained first-hand information about a woman who was ravaged by Uday and then ravaged by Uday's men.

In the Baghdad Hotel, Saddam personally hosted a banquet to entertain the guests from the north.

Although he did not go to the airport in person, Saddam had already heard about the whole process of the airport reception, and was very happy with Qusay's approach. He originally planned to use a double to greet Arafat, but then decided to go in person.

The entire reception process was warm and thoughtful. Even in Saudi Arabia, Arafat was never treated with such a high standard. Arafat was full of joy in his heart.

But he knew that in this kind of occasion, there were some irrelevant topics, and the issues he really cared about needed to be brought up in the next higher-level meeting.

The next day, Arafat came to the Palace of the Republic with a few confidants, and met with Saddam and others again.

Without those shining lights, there were not so many reporters, and there were less than ten people, scattered in a hall.

"Brother Yasser, you have worked hard." Saddam said: "We welcome our Arab brothers. Under the guidance of Allah, we will surely win."

Saddam's remark has a double meaning, not only referring to Iraq being able to defeat Iran, but also referring to Palestine being able to confront Israel.

"Yes, Iraq's victories over the past year have made all Arab compatriots proud. When I came from Riyadh, Fahd said, you beat Khomeini's ass."

"Haha." Hearing Arafat's words, Saddam laughed happily.

"Our Arab brothers will always stand together, except for that cowardly Sadat." Saddam said: "Although we are still at war with Iran, we are willing to support our Muslim brothers. Iraq will provide 200 million dollars to support our Palestinian brothers."

$200 million?Zhang Feng secretly mourns for Palestine, what can 200 million dollars do?It is really sad that Arafat cannot even buy a main battle tank. Unlike the bearded Ben, Arafat has a strong economic backing.

"On behalf of Palestine, I thank the Muslim brothers for their support," Arafat said.

He is very satisfied with 200 million U.S. dollars, especially since Iraq is now in war and can provide him with assistance. Arafat is very happy.

"Uncle Yasser, you have been fighting on the front line against Israel, and I admire you very much," Zhang Feng said.

"Haha," Arafat said, "this is all supported by the Arab brothers, but you, Qusay, turned out to be born. In the past six months, we are very envious of your military talents! I don't know how you feel about our war with Israel. What do you think?"

Arafat's words were just a simple compliment. Unexpectedly, Zhang Feng was waiting for this sentence. What he said next surprised everyone present.

"Jewish people will never be satisfied, especially the internal hardliners headed by Sharon. According to my estimation, they are likely to launch a large-scale military operation within half a year at most." Zhang Feng said . ?The faces of all the people changed, and Saddam said: "Qusay, do you have any basis for saying this?".

"Yes, Qusay, I am surprised by your words. How dare Israel start another Middle East war?" Arafat also asked.Egypt has already withdrawn, and Syria is also feared. If Israel launches another war, what will he rely on to resist?Arafat felt very uneasy inside.

"These are all my guesses." Zhang Feng said, "However, we still need to make preparations early so that we can be prepared."

Although Zhang Feng said that he guessed by himself, as long as the people here know the recent battles between Iran and Iraq, they will not think it is so simple. Insight into the opponent's conspiracy in advance.

"Qusay, tell me." Saddam said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Zhang Feng said: "Since Egypt withdrew from the war with Israel, Israel has no threat from the west, and they will no longer face enemies. Therefore, they have greater confidence, and Israel will The Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt, and the right-wing elements among them will definitely not be reconciled. On the other hand, Syria, which has been accused by the United States several times, is against the United States. Therefore, if Israel uses force, the United States will definitely support it. More importantly What’s worse, Israel’s defense minister, Sharon, is a tough right-winger!”

When it comes to Syria, Saddam has some feelings. In the Iran-Iraq War, almost all Arab countries stood on their side and opposed Khomeini’s export revolution. However, Syria firmly stood on Iran’s side, which made him hate it. Although both countries are governed by the Arab Ba'ath Party, they have been fighting for a higher status.

Since Syria is very close to Iran, it is naturally regarded as a thorn in the side of the United States. If Israel uses force against Syria, the United States must be very happy to see this result.

Arafat has another mentality. Every time there is a war in the Middle East, Syria firmly defends Palestine. Therefore, he increasingly feels that Qusay's analysis is more correct.

"As long as the international situation changes and there is no time to take care of this place, I speculate that Israel will brazenly launch a war in order to take away more land and drive our Arab brothers out of their homeland again." Zhang Feng said.

Of course Zhang Feng himself knew that the change in the international situation was naturally caused by the war launched by the country on the other side of the earth, which caused the eyes of the whole world to focus on it. Israel finally couldn't hold back and launched a war to invade Lebanon.
