Chapter 1128 Iraqi Storm (Second update, please subscribe)
It finally happened.

As the car was driving, Li Yian leaned back, holding a cigar between his fingers, his brows furrowed. All he was thinking about was Yu Xiangdong's previous report.

"At 7 a.m. on July 14, Qassem launched a military rebellion. The rebels from the th and th Brigades quickly occupied the royal palace, radio station, Ministry of Defense, post office, telegraph office, telephone office, mobile police station and Rashid military camp. At the same time, tank troops were sent to surround the British air force base in Baghdad."

"And the king?"

"According to the news from the embassy, ​​the king, the crown prince, Princess Hiam, Princess Nafisa, Princess Abadiah and other Iraqi royal family members and servants were all killed after leaving the palace. Although it is not clear how many members of the royal family survived, it is certain that the royal family was most likely exterminated."

"Their attention has now shifted to finding Prime Minister Saeed, lest he escape and derail the success of the coup. The military has offered a reward of 10000 Iraqi dinars for his whereabouts and has launched a massive search."

While recalling Yu Xiangdong's report, the car had already driven into the manor in the suburbs. After the car stopped, Li Yian got out. After opening the door, he saw Princess Addis. As soon as she saw Li Yian, she smiled.

"My dear, you came at an untimely time. Xia just fell asleep."

Xia is his and Princess Addis's child, but only a few months old. Two and a half months ago, they came to Nanyang with the Iraqi Asian Games delegation at Li Yi'an's request. And then they have been staying here ever since.

In fact, it is to avoid this bloody coup from hurting them!
and then?
Now this is happening.

Princess Addis asked when she noticed that Li Yian's expression seemed a little abnormal.

"What happened?"

"Adisse, there is something I need to tell you..."

Afterwards, Li Yian told the other party what happened in Baghdad in the calmest possible tone. Faced with the sudden news, Princess Addis's eyes turned red instantly, and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back tears.

Originally Li Yian thought that she would throw herself into his arms and burst into tears, but unexpectedly, she did not do that. Instead, she asked with her eyes wide open.

"Where's my brother?"

That's King Faisal II.

“Executed.”

"Where's my aunt?"

It's Princess Abadiya.

“Executed.”

"mine……"

……

The answer is the same, the royal family was massacred!

Almost no one was spared.

Faced with such a result, Princess Addis clenched her fists, her expression showing an unconcealable pain, but she just stood there, letting the tears roll down her cheeks, as if she was making some important decision.

Suddenly, she looked at Li Yian and asked:

“Where’s Nouri Said?”

Nuri Said was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Iraq. In history, after the coup, Nuri first hid himself. When he did not hear the news of British troops the next day, he thought that Britain supported the coup. He tried to escape by disguising himself as a woman, but was discovered and arrested. He was killed and buried on the same day. But in the end, the rebels still dug up his body, dragged it on the street for public display, and finally hung his body up, burned it, and then dismembered it.

"Did the British support the mutiny?"

Li Yian shook his head.

Princess Addis breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Promise me, help me find Sayid, not for me, but for our child..."

Looking directly at Li Yian, Princess Addis spoke in an extremely firm tone.

"Now, he is the only heir to the royal family. As long as he finds Sayid, he will be able to recruit troops loyal to the royal family. With his support, Shia will wear the crown. He is your child, you must help him!"

Just like that, Addis stared at Li Yian with a firm tone and a resolute expression. She did not have the fear that an ordinary girl would have when facing misfortune, but more of a sense of responsibility.

Shia will become the king of Iraq!

To be honest, Li Yian did think about this possibility, but it was just a possibility. After all, he had no idea about that piece of land at all. The only thing he had in mind was the underground oil.

After all, from the perspective of human development, that region is simply... hard to describe, unless, of course, they can fully secularize, but who can do all that?

But secularization is very difficult. Let's take Turkey as an example. Kemal started to force secularization, and even gave the army the power of "military coup" to protect secularization. But in the end, it still failed to stop the rise of the Egyptian Sultan. In the end, Kemal's last line of defense for secularization, the army, was also severely damaged.

However, after nearly a hundred years of secularization, even if Egypt wants to retreat, it will face many obstacles. Even though Iran failed halfway, it still retained some achievements to a certain extent.

I can only say that this is all too difficult!

But faced with a woman's request, and it also involves Xia... okay!
"Don't worry, I will help you."

It was not until Li Yian said this that Princess Addis, who had been suppressing her inner pain, threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

"My brother, my poor brother..."

Princess Addis cried bitterly, leaving Li Yian at a loss. He could clearly feel that his chest was soon soaked. One could imagine the feelings between the siblings - their father died when they were young, and they depended on each other for survival. Now, seeing the reality that her brother and the entire royal family were being slaughtered, how could she not be in pain?
"Addis, I understand that you are sad, but the most urgent task now is to take charge of everything as soon as possible. Xia is still very young, and you will have to take care of many things. I believe that your brother in heaven would definitely want you to take charge of the situation."

Reaching out and patting the princess' back, Li Yian reminded her in a calm voice that you should now shoulder the responsibility of a princess instead of lying in your lover's arms and wiping your tears. Wiping away the tears, Addis said.

"I know, but we must rescue Sayid, and..."

After hesitating for a moment, a strange look flashed in Addis's red eyes.

"But you have to make sure that none of his children survive!"

The cold words made Li Yi'an's heart tremble.

"He is my cousin!"

Addis added.

"He is already 70 years old. Shia and I need his reputation and help, but no other threats!"

Well, at this moment, Li Yian finally understood what...

Well, a mother must be strong!

Sometimes women are like this, they can be even more cruel than men.

Now she is a lioness, and what she needs to protect is not only her country, but also her children.

So she would never allow anyone to threaten them no matter what.

Li Yian certainly understood this.

……

Gunshots!

For a whole day, the sound of gunfire echoed in the sky above Baghdad. Military vehicles were rampaging on the streets. Soldiers with rifles and submachine guns and violent people filled the streets. Although the Royal Guards did not resist under the king's order, the military and police loyal to the royal family still resisted spontaneously. There were more mobs who took the opportunity to loot the homes of the rich, rob and kill people...

Amid the gunfire, Aziz, dressed in plain clothes, looked no different from the locals. Occasionally, he would be stopped by military police while driving his car. He would explain his ID, hand over a few bills, and then successfully get rid of them.

It has to be said that money can solve most problems at any time.

"Where on earth is he?"

Aziz thought so in his mind. As an intelligence officer of "Hydra" in Baghdad, Aziz came here as early as World War II. He had planned the anti-British offensive of the Iraqi army. Although it failed, he had been lurking here and later became a member of "Hydra". Now he looks no different from an ordinary Baghdad person.

"The British military base is outside the city, which is a little too far away. Besides, the British troops have already evacuated. There are only a few British soldiers left in the base now, and they will definitely not go there. What about the British Embassy? Britain has not made a statement yet, so will he think that the military coup was supported by Britain?"

As he thought about this in his mind, Aziz had a vague idea of ​​where the other party was going - the American Embassy.

For Sayyid, there is only one relatively safe place in the whole Baghdad at present, the US Embassy. However, the other party obviously knows that this is the only safe place. The road leading to the US Embassy has been blocked by the rebels, and on the streets, there are people everywhere searching for Sayyid. They will even lift up the women's black robes to check their identities.

While Aziz was driving the car and looking for possible targets, some foreigners in the hotel nearby were driven out by the mob, and several of them shouted in horror.

"American, American..."

They tried to protect themselves with their American identities, but the mob ignored them and pushed them to their knees. They knelt and screamed in fear, as if they understood what they were going to face. They begged loudly and some people even took out banknotes and tried to bribe them.

But the shouts were soon interrupted by screams, and the mob attacked with machetes, chopping down the foreigners kneeling on the ground. The front of the hotel was a mess of blood and flesh.

In response, Aziz just glanced at it and continued driving forward. Just as he passed a street and was about to leave, a woman in a black robe came into his sight. The woman was tall and fat. Although she was not very conspicuous, the way she walked was somewhat different from other women.

"Maybe……"

After stopping the car, Aziz walked over, and when the woman saw someone coming, she wanted to speed up, but Aziz hurriedly whispered in English.

"There are rebels everywhere ahead, they are searching everyone!"

After being reminded of this, the "woman" stopped and looked at him with some doubts, and said:

"who are you?"

It was indeed a man's voice. Who else could it be but Sayid?

This guy actually put on makeup to look like a woman without even considering whether his body shape looks like a woman.

"I am the one who helps you,"

Aziz further explained.

"Her Royal Highness is now contacting other countries to intervene, and now she needs your help."

Hearing this, Sayid said excitedly.

"Your Highness... Are you talking about Addis? Yes, she is abroad now, abroad. She will definitely be able to get other countries to intervene..."

"Okay, now is not the time to chat. We have to get you out of here safely now."

Soon, Sayid got into the trunk. After Aziz started the car, he drove straight to the Nanyang Embassy. There were no military police or mobs in that direction. Many of them might not even have heard of Nanyang...
