"I also think that the proposal to send troops directly is very good, Your Excellency the President! If we don't send troops to teach them a lesson, I'm afraid the whole world will laugh at us for being weak!"

"Your Excellency, it is taboo to take care of both sides of the battlefield at the same time. Personally, I feel that it seems that it is too early to send troops to Afghanistan. After all, the militants in Chechnya, we have not yet wiped out. Switching to another place so quickly can easily shake the morale of the army. "The Minister of the Interior, who disagreed.

At the national level, it is most prudent to have a variety of opinions, such as the head of the Federal Security Service and the Minister of the Interior. Otherwise, it is easy for the whole country to suddenly send troops to fight the war on terror as soon as their brains are hot.

When the time comes, if something goes wrong, it will not only cost the people and money, but will also cause great damage to the economic development and military strength of the entire country.

"Your Excellency, if we send troops into Afghanistan now, I am afraid that the funds in our national treasury will not be able to support a war of this magnitude. After all, it's not something that can be done in two or three months. Judging by the performance of our army in the fight against Chechen terrorists, this battle will not be fought for a long time. "The Federal Attorney General, in the context of the country's economy, gives relevant opinions.

After hearing this, many of the generals present nodded silently. Fighting a war really requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and money. It's not that the Russians are afraid of war, but that they blindly launch a war on terror, and in the end only they will suffer.

The Russian president, who was sitting at the front of the conference table, turned his gaze to Mavi at the other end of the table after listening to the opinions of a circle of generals. It seems that he wants to hear what kind of opinion he has.

"Mavi, what do you want to say? Do you support the main battle or avoid the war?" the Russian president had just opened his mouth and asked Mavi.

Hearing the president's speech, the Russian generals and ministers in the entire banquet hall all turned their heads and looked at Ma Wei at the end.

Seeing so many big guys, all looking at themselves, if Ma Wei didn't feel pressure, it would definitely be unrealistic. I saw him take a deep breath slightly, and then after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Your Excellency, I think that if you want to start a large-scale war against terrorism, the root cause must not be just for the fight against terrorism. ”

"The reason why it's in the name of counter-terrorism is because there is a good reason for it. So now we have a reason to send troops to Afghanistan. But the only thing missing is how much benefit can be brought by waging war? Can these benefits exceed our military spending......

Mavi, Xiaozhi said to the Russian president with emotion and reason.

Due to the suddenness of the incident and personal emotional reasons, many bigwigs here failed to look at this matter rationally. So some people support the main battle, and some people choose to avoid the war. But they have temporarily ignored the point of what is good for Russia in waging a war on terror.

Ma Wei did not show his attitude towards the main battle, nor did he show his attitude of avoiding war. I just put forward a novel point of view to the Russian military and political bigwigs present here, as well as to the Russian president. Let them choose for themselves after listening. After all, this kind of big thing, with Ma Wei's personal ability, can't be stopped. Nor did he think of making such war money.

"So Mavi, what do you think we can get in the end by sending troops to attack al-Qaeda in Afghanistan?" asked the Russian president with his hands folded after thinking for a while.

Indeed, as Mavi said, it is easy to start a war, and it is not difficult to find a reason. The key is that in the current economy and society, if the war on terror does not benefit from it, who would be willing to do good deeds for no reason, consume their own military and financial resources, and do such things that cost the people and money......

Based on the memories of his previous life, Ma Wei said at the conference table in a simple summary, "Your Excellency, Afghanistan is a country with a very special strategic geographical location. It can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire Central Asian region, and can affect the production and price trend of oil, natural gas, coal and other rich minerals. ”

"It can also open up the passage from Southeast Asia to the Indian Ocean, sit in India and Pakistan in South Asia, and form a strategic encirclement of Iran and other countries...... The premise, of course, is that the war on terror can be won. ”

Ma Wei did not want to make a fortune from the war on terror in Afghanistan, but in the face of threats and provocations from terrorist groups, even the most kind-hearted people had to take up arms and fight back. And you can't blindly tolerate it, and choose to calm things down.

After all, it would threaten his family, and Mavi didn't want to be at home one day and suddenly hear the news that his relatives and friends had been killed by a bomb or kidnapped by al-Qaeda. Otherwise, it would really be a realistic version of "The Farmer and the Snake......

After listening to Ma Wei's narration, the Russian president at the conference table had almost made up his mind. Now we are waiting for the missing pilot to be found safely. It has been three and a half days since he lost contact, and the longer it drags on, the more dim the hope of survival becomes.

However, the Russian president has already decreed that people must be seen in life and corpses in death. Such a martyrdom hero must not be allowed to die in a foreign country, and must be brought back to China for the most solemn burial.

Since the USSR of this life, in the 80s, there was no invasion of Afghanistan. Therefore, Ma Wei estimated that the combat level of the entire Taliban armed forces would definitely not reach the ferocious level in the previous life. At best, it may be three points weaker than the Chechen militants.

The reason is that they have only fought with the Afghan government army. That kind of battle level is similar to the firepower competition between miscellaneous armies. It's numbers, not tactics. It's not afraid of death, not the ability to fight alone......

Not to mention the equipment gap between Russia and Afghanistan. UAVs, air-to-surface missiles, aerial bombs, self-propelled rocket artillery. Anyway, as long as there is a frontal battle, the Taliban forces are definitely no match for the regular Russian army.

As for them fighting, fleeing into the mountains and fighting guerrilla warfare with the Russian army. That's a real headache.

70% of Afghanistan is mountainous. Unless the Russian military can come up with a way to cut off the supply of al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists. Otherwise, guerrilla warfare after a regular campaign may be quite tricky.

After leaving the Kremlin and the meeting, Mavi got into his little broken car and drove all the way back to his home in Moscow. Now he has finished saying everything he needs to say. The only thing left to do is to wait for the final decision from above.

When such a big event happened, the beautiful Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Snezhanna naturally called a long time ago and expressed condolences to Mavi. Even Amphelia, the twin sister of Bellavina, sent a text message to express comfort.
