American Gossip King

Chapter 271 You Are My Good Friend

Uday's full name was Uday Khashoggi. This prince was deeply favored by Saddam Hussein, who had every desire for him.

Udaybe, having not learned Saddam Hussein's teachings, surpassed his master in brutality.

He would throw other classmates who liked the same girl into the lion's cage so that the lions could eat them;

Torture athletes who did not achieve the desired ranking;

He would rape the newlywed wives of his subordinates, making them enter the bridal chamber in place of their husbands, which led to the brides' suicide.

He killed Kamal, his father’s trusted subordinate, at a banquet because he disliked him.

During a banquet hosted by his uncle Balzan Tikriti, he got drunk and opened fire on the crowd with a submachine gun.

It is said that he killed as many as a thousand people through various means.

While there may have been deliberate propaganda by the Americans, the fact that Baghdad residents cheered after Uday's death is undeniable.

His legs were permanently paralyzed from the waist down after he was assassinated during a trip.

It is said that the officer who assassinated him was the bride's husband.

Interestingly, the U.S. military reportedly also found photos of President Bush's daughter at Uday's residence.

In the picture, Bush's two daughters, dressed in evening gowns and in elegant poses, had their photos taken away by the U.S. military under the pretext of "protecting the president."

In short, Uday was an extreme, bloodthirsty, and brutal man.

Once a person's nature is formed, it is difficult to change, so even in his current predicament, he has not changed his violent nature.

He was supposed to be separated from his father, but Ian suggested that Saddam leave early, which changed everything—I can't be in two places at once, so you shouldn't be either.

He sat in his wheelchair, glaring angrily at Ian, and reached for the pistol of his bodyguard.

Fortunately, he no longer held the position he once had. His father was extremely disappointed in him, and several bodyguards restrained Uday, shouting, "You can't do this! Ian Karl is the president's guest; he is our greatest hope!"

"But he did nothing!" Uday shouted.

Ian smiled slightly as he listened to the translator's words.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a surge of people in the distance, and Saddam Hussein walked out from the crowd.

He was dressed in military uniform, glaring angrily at his son.

She suddenly slapped her son: "What do you think you're doing?"

Ian Carl was his lifeline, and you actually want to kill him?

Yes, he couldn't really help, but that's because everything happened so fast that none of the plans could be implemented in time.

But as long as he's still alive, there's a chance.

If you kill him, what am I supposed to do?

Saddam glared at his wayward son, but if he could control him, he wouldn't be Uday.

Saddam could only say, "Take him back and don't let him cause any more trouble!"

Uday roared, "Father! The Americans have invaded! We must kill every single one of them and restore morale!"

You're such an idiot!

Fine, I'll let you die sooner rather than later.

Ian looked at Uday, his left eye gleaming slightly.

The next moment, Uday suddenly perked up and shouted, "You are not fit to lead our country! Only under my command can Israel defeat the evil Americans!"

As he spoke, he suddenly snatched the gun from his bodyguard and pointed it at Saddam.

This scene stunned everyone.

Ian seized the opportunity to rush over and use his body to block Saddam.

At the same time, the other bodyguards rushed over, raised the gun in his hand into the air, and took it away.

Saddam shoved Ian aside and glared at his son.

Uday was also taken aback.

Damn it, what did I just do?

"Damn it! You actually pointed a gun at me?" Saddam was completely enraged.

He punched Uday and began to beat his son violently.

Uday covered his face and wailed, "No! Father! I was wrong..."

Ian chuckled and stepped back, glancing back at Van Nistel.

Van Nistel smiled slightly, and the camera turned towards him.

well.

Amidst the chaos, Saddam gave his son a severe beating, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill him.

He shouted, "Take him away!"

Several bodyguards hurriedly led Uday away.

Saddam then turned to look at Ian.

His eyes welled up with emotion, and after a long pause, he said, "Thank you. I'm starting to believe you're my friend now."

Ian smiled: "You're welcome!"

………………

The master bedroom of the imperial palace.

Saddam and Ian sat together, drinking coconut milk wine.

Saddam's eyes were filled with sorrow: "I just received news that the US military has defeated the 9th Division and is continuing its advance. They should reach Baghdad in two days at most. I have ordered the Hezbollah Division to fight to the death, but I don't know how long they can hold out."

He looked at Ian with despair: "Tell me, Ian, how long do you think it will take them to take Baghdad?"

These words reveal the tyrant's despair.

His inner sense of relief could not mask the pain of defeat, yet he still refused to admit defeat!

Contradictory!

Ian shook his head slightly: "I don't understand military matters and can't comment on that. For me, being able to protect you is my greatest contribution. I'm like an insurance policy; nobody wants to use insurance, but insurance still has its purpose."

The shift from "Ian Karl can end war" to "Ian Karl can protect me" is smooth and seamless.

The latest novel is first published here!

Saddam sighed, "You're right, Ian Karl. I should have hoped I wouldn't need you, but you had a purpose!"

He then roared, "Defeat is only temporary! I, the great Saddam Hussein, will eventually rise again! My loyal people will fight bravely!"

The transition from sorrow and despair to an unyielding spirit is quite smooth.

Ian looked at him with a smile.

I like you just the way you are.

Imagine having a performative personality; your every word and action will become the subject of endless conversation in the future.

They will see your pre-war fear, arrogance, wartime absurdity, self-righteousness, post-defeat incompetent barking, and constant self-hypnosis...

You are not the kind of great leader who still has the fighting spirit even when facing dire straits.

You are just a cowardly and tyrannical ruler with a fickle personality and an insane arrogance.

You live in the beautiful dream you've woven for yourself. The greatest meaning of your existence is to let the world know that so-called big shots, once their halo is removed, are nothing but bullshit, and even worse than many ordinary people!

That's great!

The more contradictory you are, the more interpretations you will have, and the more controversial topics you will generate.

This is good news!

Ian smiled and said, "I have no doubt about that, President Saddam, and that is precisely why I firmly support you. Of course, perhaps I could do more."

Saddam was slightly taken aback and looked at him: "What are you going to do?"

Ian thought for a moment and said, "If the US military enters Baghdad, I hope you can let me go to Baghdad and talk to them. I need to have a good talk with the US military to see if there is any room for maneuver at this point. Of course, before that, you can move your location, just leave your contact information with me."

Saddam was taken aback: "You want to persuade the American troops to withdraw?"

You're overthinking it.

No matter how much Ian boasts, he could never promise that.

He shook his head: "I can only persuade them to do their best not to pursue you. This will give you the time you need to regroup."

"How can we persuade them?"

"I have a lot of arguments, but the most important one is money! I can't make them give up the pursuit, but I can make them less efficient!" Ian replied.

Will they accept it?

"What I said still holds hope."

Saddam remained silent for a long while before saying, "I need to think about it."

Ian nodded and smiled. "Of course."

After drinking for a while, Ian left his room.

Soon, the sound of a woman wailing came from Saddam's room.

This tyrant vented all his anger on women in order to demonstrate his authority and salvage his self-esteem.

Ian shook his head at this and went into his room.

A surveillance camera was placed in the room, and the footage clearly showed Saddam Hussein's actions towards the two women.

He's torturing those two girls!

Ian asked, "Was it filmed from the beginning?"

Van Nistel nodded: "Of course! Boss, you're really amazing to be able to monitor Saddam."

There were originally guards in Ian's room, but after Ian hypnotized him, all the guards automatically withdrew... After the Uday incident, Saddam's trust in Ian increased greatly, and even the guards disappeared.

Inside the room, Van Nistel and translator Clark were watching the monitor and chuckling, while Brideson was watching from outside.

The surveillance footage contained a video of Saddam Hussein sexually abusing others during his escape!

This is definitely a great hot topic!

Ian looked at the two girls on the table, ravaged beyond recognition by Saddam Hussein, and sighed softly, "Even if it's just to free these poor girls from their suffering, we should make sure he's finished sooner!"
