[1.04] - Iraqi coup cabinet

[eeeex]

Hello!

I'd suggest to add the following lines to the event #2074001 right after the line where 'political_left' is set. After looking a bit up Rashid al-Gailani must become HoS, HoG and foreign minister because of the coup. For the other ministers I chose a few from the ministers_irq.csv from the section 'FA' and/or '1941', because I have no details about the other ministerial posts.

        command = { type = headofstate which = 365143 }
        command = { type = headofgovernment which = 365030 }
        command = { type = foreignminister which = 365052 }
        command = { type = armamentminister which = 365075 }
        command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 365090 }
        command = { type = ministerofintelligence which = 365103 }
        command = { type = chiefofstaff which = 365136 }
        command = { type = chiefofarmy which = 365122 }
        command = { type = chiefofnavy which = 365137 }
        command = { type = chiefofair which = 365134 }

ID 365136 is Gaylani as HoS, not CoS?

Thanks, I'll correct that.
Feel free to offer suggestions about the other positions, bestmajor, this is surely your field of expertise.

I'm not good with those states,

but I'll try to help:


We are searching for the "Golden Square" the four colonels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Square_(Iraq)
And i think i found them (? i do not speak arabic, so every help is welcome: http://algardenia.com/terathwatareck/13118-1941.html
http://algardenia.com/images/almalak/Four.Aqidd.4.JPG if you look at the URL, there is written "four" so i do think those are the four colonels

Salah al Din al Sabbagh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salah_al-Din_al-Sabbagh is kind of the leader, i thin he is the one with the tropical helmet, but would need confirmation.

Mahmud Salman could be the one with the air force insignia (marked):


as for the other ministries, there is always a gap in April 1941, when the coup started, at least for the foreign minister:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_(Iraq)


so to sum things up, nobody knows .
EXCEPT this air force, guy, that would be cool to know, i'll do some more research and let you know if i find something.

I asked an Iranian coworker for help and she sent me the same pic a few hours ago.
So you are correct, that's the pic of the four "generals" and to be more precise:
Right Top: Kamil Shabib
Left Top: Fahmi Said
Right bottom: Salah al-Din al-Sabbagh
Left bottom: Mahmud Salman

I suppose I'll give Air Force to Salman, probably Army or Staff to al-Sabbagh and then there's also this guy who fought in the war and is already in the minister files:
Fawsi al Kaukji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fawzi_al-Qawuqji#Interwar_period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Iraqi_War#Rutbah

As always, thanks for your suggestions, they're always welcome!

OK cool then. I opened a thread at AHF for that.
Maybe check it from time to time to see if somebody is responding: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=225185
