Mubarak becomes the national hero, receives from hands Sadat " Star of Sinai" - the highest Egyptian military award - and погоны the general of army. Military "ascention" he is a native of simple family - is obliged to epoch of Nasere. To political rise of him has pushed Sadat, having appointed vice-president and, thus, having opened him a way to the supreme authority.

Since then this broad-shouldered, a dense constitution the general began to seize art of political "pilotage". Sadat has given him for this purpose the ample opportunities, having made him some kind of " departure ambassador ". He has assigned on Mubarak performance delicate, sometimes difficult assignments.
