Chapter 727 The Troubles of Bashar al-Assad

Damascus, the white presidential residence representing the ruling power of the Assad family.

Bashar, the person in power in Syria? Assad is having dinner with his family like ordinary people. Unlike other traditional and conservative Arab families, the atmosphere between a family of four at the Assad family's dinner was very warm.

All this is due to the first lady of Syria, Bashar? Assad's wife: Asma? Assad.

If you have to measure which country is more eligible to become a member of the European Union based on the first lady of each country, Syria is more appropriate than Turkey.

This is a kind joke once reported by a French newspaper, referring to Asma, the first lady of Syria? Al-Axas, an Arab born in London, England.

Asma's mother is a diplomat and her father is a surgeon from the Aksus family, a well-known family in Syria. She was born and raised in the United Kingdom. She has dual British and Syrian citizenship. She graduated from the British Elite Women's School, which is rich in celebrities, and obtained computers and Bachelor of Arts in French.

Like her husband Bashar, both of them have received a good education in the West, and it is easy to find a balance between Western free culture and traditional Arab culture. This is the reason why the atmosphere of the first family in Syria is lively and old-fashioned.

The two have a son and a daughter. They are both weak children. As usual, under the care of the maid, they ate their favorite food. They didn't notice at all. When their father ate today, he always frowned inadvertently.

Unlike ignorant children, although Asma usually cares little about her husband's work, she takes good care of her husband when he comes home. The husband's expression of uncertainty at the dinner was observed and remembered by her at all.

At the end of the warm dinner, Asma ordered the maid to take the children out to play, and she helped her husband make a cup of fragrant coffee in person.

"Dear (it is said that Arab women call their lovers 'my cucumber'!), you seem to be in violation of the rules!" Asma sat next to her husband and said in a naughty tone.

" Violation? Oh, look at me..." Bashar looked up at his wife in surprise, and suddenly reacted. He patted his forehead and said with some guilt, "Honey, I'm sorry!"

Bashar remembered at this moment that the two had a secret appointment to go home on weekends and not to think about business. Although it was a private agreement when the two were intimate at that time, Bashar basically abided by this agreement at ordinary times.

Today, he was obviously 'violation' and went home with the mood of work. Although he deliberately showed that he was similar to usual, her careful wife still found something abnormal.

"Can you talk to me? I think you need someone to talk to now, otherwise I'm afraid you will be unhappy today!" Asma held her husband's big hand and leaned on her shoulder and said gently.

Bashar instinctively wanted to refuse. He knew that his wife did not care much about political matters. Although his wife received Western education, he was also very open-minded, unlike other big families who regarded women as subordinates of men. But Bashar felt that he, a big man, confided his helplessness at work to his wife, and seemed a little cowardly.

But looking at his wife's beautiful face, which was more mature than a decade ago, Bashar hesitated for a moment.

At the time when the two just met, Bashar was not the first heir of the Assad family. When he was studying in England, he met Asma, a girl who had the same education as him, had a similar surname, and was more open-minded.

Men and women who are passionately in love often talk about timely politics in their spare time. However, after marriage, especially after having children, the wife almost became a full-time wife, and the topics they often talked about also changed from current politics to housework.

What Bashar is worried about during this period is still the demand of the United States and France for Syria to withdraw from the Third Economic Organization. Last time, Bashar was almost moved by the weights taken out by the United States and France, but with the launch of artificial satellites by Iran and the accession of Libya to the Third OECD, his attitude began to waver again.

Judging from the chips thrown by the United States and France, as long as Syria withdraws from the Third Economic Cooperation Organization, the United States and France will ensure that Syria will become an observer of NATO and the European Union, and give preferential treatment to Syria in foreign trade and economic cooperation, which are very beneficial to Syria. More importantly, the representatives of the United States and France Promise to acquiesce to the Assad family's rule over Syria and provide public opinion help at some point. This commitment is the biggest for Bashar. As we all know, the world is a world dominated by the West, and public opinion is basically controlled by several major Western countries, especially in terms of cooking and freedom. Western countries seem to have more say. If the United States, France and other countries do not publicize the Assad family's similar 'dynastic' rule of Syria, it will be difficult for some people with ulterior motives at home and abroad to use the slogan of clear cooking and freedom to oppose the Assad family's rule over Syria.

What, do you think my Assad family is good at reading? It's impossible. The United States and France are cooking countries, right? They all admit that Syria is a clear country under the leadership of the Assad family. What right do you have to deny it?

From these aspects, it seems that Bashar should agree with the request of the United States and France to withdraw from the Third OECD and turn to a more favorable and 'bright' Western embrace.

But is Bashar a simple-minded person? Obviously not. The world is dominated by the West, while the West is dominated by whites. Although Arabs are authentic white, with the passage of time, the Arabs scattered around the world have intermarried with other races. Today's Arabs look more like a race between white and yellow. With the changes of history, today's white society has taken shape. It is very difficult for you to make those 'noble' white Westerners admit that Arabs are one of them.

Therefore, even if Syria joins the embrace of the West, it can only be a bottom guy in the end. Don't think about eating meat. It depends on your efforts in the future. It's good to have a mouthful of soup at ordinary times.

And Bashar is also worried about the credibility of the promises of the United States, France and other countries. There is no real friendship between countries, and interests are the first. Western countries have put this principle to the limit. Now I have a request for you, which can give you benefits and make some promises. Once you make a mistake or don't need you, it's for sure to kick you away.

At that time, Syria, which offended the newly rising forces of another part of the world and was abandoned by the Western masters, where should it go?

History proves that the wall grass has never had a good end. Bashar didn't want to take this risk with himself and the Assad family.

When the Third OECD made some deployments for surnames because of the swing of Bashar's attitude, Bashar had a headache.

First of all, the aid of several Iranian countries to assist Syria in continuing its nuclear program has been suspended. Naturally, there are many reasons. For example, the international environment is wrong now, and it is necessary to keep a low profile. It cannot provoke the bottom line of Western countries and trigger war. In short, if your attitude swings, we will not trust you. At this time, that is So that you are not seduced and betrayed, in the short term, we still need to examine whether you are worthy of assistance.

Secondly, Syria has no share in the economic, trade and scientific research cooperation of the Third OECD. The reason is more direct. During this period, the foreign spy forces in Syria have soared, trying to undermine the cooperation of several countries. In order to prevent it, they had to make a bad policy. Of course, in order to stabilize Syria, representatives of several countries also promised that as long as the foreign spy forces in Syria are not rampant, they will immediately agree to Syria's participation in cooperation. .

Bashar is too familiar with these diplomatic words. He is both angry and helpless. Standing in someone else's position, you must worry about whether the Syrian political axe is trustworthy, because Bashar is in secret contact with the United States and France. Who knows if you Bashar will take everyone's foundation as a name and sell it to Western countries in exchange for benefits?

Besides, haven't our countries agree? As long as you cut off the close contact with foreign forces, we are still good brothers and good friends. There are benefits, and we will definitely take you to share.

Hey, the power of the CIA and Mossad is all-pervasive. We can't stand the toss!

In this way, Bashar watched that Iran, North Korea, Somalia and even Libya, which later joined, have carried out a number of cooperation in economic and trade and achieved very good results, bringing great benefits to several countries. In terms of military technology, with the achievement of cooperation projects one by one, several countries are improving their military strength by increasing their strength.

I'm greedy! The promise of the United States and France is across the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and you can only see a mirage-like shadow. Not to mention getting it, you can't just touch it. How can Bashar be happy at this time?

The important thing is that with the swing of Bashar's attitude, some domestic forces are also ready to move, trying to oust the Assad family from power and seek benefits for themselves.

Bashar knows that as a political strongman, especially at the crossroads of Syria, leaders should not be indecisive, which is a disaster for the Assad family and Syria.

But no matter which way you take, there are both advantages and disadvantages. This is the reason why Bashar can't make a choice all the time.

The benefits of cooperation with the West can temporarily obtain economic benefits. With the support of the West, those ambitious people in China will not dare to take action, and the rule of the Assad family is stable and safe for the time being. The drawback is also obvious. Once it withdraws from the Third Economic Organization, Syria will completely become a member of the Western world. Those countries that have the means and strength to take their own strong path will certainly not accept Syria again. In the end, Syria can only become a mediocre country in the world. You don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but if you want to make a difference, you can It's difficult.
