Chapter 222: Let the scalpel be sharp
Although Lu Jiadong's assertion is shocking, it is also reasonable, and the Afghan resistance group did use the inferior weapons and equipment in its hands to deal with the powerful Soviet army for half a year, inflicting a great blow on the Soviet army and suffering heavy casualties, otherwise the Soviet army would not have launched such a large-scale clean-up operation. ↑,
However, even with the intensity of the clean-up like combing the hair, the remaining Afghan resistance groups were still able to use the relatively familiar terrain and elusive guerrilla warfare methods to launch attacks on the lone soldiers of the Soviet army and the small units that came forward, so that the Soviet army's clean-up operation also paid a considerable price!
Because of this, although these Pakistani officials do not agree with Lu Jiadong's assertion very much, after all, the strength of the Soviet Union has caused them to have a natural inertia in their thinking, that is, it is impossible to defeat the Soviet Union, but in the face of real facts, they are powerless to refute it, so they can only look at Musharraf who was questioned by Lu Jiadong, hoping that this general, who is known for his wit and calmness in the Pakistani government and army, can maintain the long-standing inertia of thinking in the hearts of everyone.
Not only Pakistani officials, but also members of the Chinese delegation, and they are even more eager than Pakistani officials in their eyes and faces, because in the plan that China has redrafted according to Lu Jiadong last night, the Pakistani side's views on the situation in Afghanistan are the key to the success of the plan.
When Liu Haotian returned from the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, he informed all the members of the Chinese delegation of the grim situation in Pakistan, and the Chinese personnel had a certain understanding of the grim situation in Pakistan when they set off.
But I didn't expect it to take such a quick turn, so that the two plans prepared before would not be used at all, and the only feasible way to do everything possible to help friendly countries at any cost, because China did not want to see the Soviet Union drive straight into the Indian Ocean. If that's the case,
Counting India, which has a territorial dispute with China, the entire land border of China is basically surrounded by the Soviet Union and its allies, which is too great a threat to China, and because of this, it is basically the consensus of all the Chinese delegations that the Soviet Union cannot be allowed to cross the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan in any way!
But just when everyone was discussing how to deal with it. Of course, the members of the delegation also had a strong inertia of thinking about the Soviet Union, and they did not believe Lu Jiadong's assertion at first.
However, fortunately, China has been conducting guerrilla warfare since the beginning of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and after more than ten years of encirclement and counter-encirclement and suppression with the Kuomintang, and eight years of sweeping and counter-sweeping with Japanese imperialism, the squadron has penetrated the subtlety of guerrilla warfare to the bone marrow, so when Lu Jiadong proposed that the Afghan resistance group could use guerrilla warfare to completely drag the Soviet Union down,
It was recognized by the members of the Chinese delegation, especially Liu Haotian, who had experienced the war before liberation, and felt that if guerrilla warfare was used well. It was on this basis that the Soviet Union could be trapped in Afghanistan and could not extricate itself, and it was on this basis that Lu Jiadong proposed a series of measures to strengthen the Afghan resistance groups and Pakistan, which were also endorsed by the Chinese delegation.
On the basis of Lu Jiadong's assertion, everyone immediately worked out a new plan for the talks, but although the new plan was formulated, the members of the Chinese delegation were a little apprehensive, because China has many years of experience in guerrilla warfare, so they know that if this tactic is played well, it can indeed produce unexpected results. But Pakistan has no such experience, can they accept such an assertion?
Such concerns are not only echoed in the minds of the members of the Chinese delegation. Even the apprehension of Lu Jiadong, the author of this thesis, is like a vine that fills his whole heart, after all, this thesis is the basis for the implementation of this plan, if the Pakistani side accepts the good theory, if Pakistan does not accept it, it can only be reversed and started from scratch.
Although as a military expert who traveled through later generations, he has military technology that surpasses this era. It has a historical foresight that no one can do, but no matter how magical he is, Lu Jiadong is just a person after all, and he cannot influence what others think in their hearts, let alone set the judgment of others.
So. At present, Lu Jiadong cannot change the strong inertia of people's thinking about the Soviet Union, and because of this, whether Pakistan accepts this assertion is actually between two sides, so Lu Jiadong's heart can be said to be more anxious than anyone else, but there is no way but to stare at Musharraf opposite, very eagerly waiting for his reply.
At this time, although Musharraf's face did not see any change, his heart was already turned upside down, and you must know that although Lu Jiadong's remarks are not mainstream in Pakistan, there are still certain supporters, especially the high-level and elite in the Pakistani government and army who hold such views.
As the head of Pakistan's intelligence organization, who has access to more information and resources, as well as a deep understanding of the situation inside Afghanistan, Musharraf is an active advocate of this view, which is why he was shocked when he heard that Lu Jiadong's assertion was so consistent with his own view.
It's just that traditional views still dominate in Pakistan, and Musharraf, the head of an intelligence organization, is usually low-key and does not reveal his views on ordinary occasions, so many Pakistani government and military officials do not know Musharraf's true thoughts.
Therefore, according to Musharraf's low-key personality on weekdays, even if he has a definite idea in his heart, Musharraf will not say it easily, but today is different, because he always faintly feels that the Chinese friend opposite, especially the young Lu Jiadong, put forward this assertion is just an introduction.
There is a set of detailed operational plans behind it, Musharraf is very confident in this judgment, without this ability, he would not be able to command the Pakistani Tri-Services Intelligence Agency, thinking of this, Musharraf stabilized his mind, nodded and his tone was still so meticulous:
"I think Mr. Lu Jiadong's assertion is very reasonable, and I agree with what you said!" Musharraf's remark is like a magic spell that has formed two completely different reactions between China and Pakistan, just like "ice and fire." On the Chinese side, whether it is Lu Jiadong or other members of the Chinese delegation, they all breathe a sigh of relief and let go of their suspense.
On the other hand, the Pakistani side was shocked by Musharraf's words, but Musharraf did not pay attention to these colleagues and subordinates, but looked at Lu Jiadong opposite with doubts in his heart:
"Mr. Lu Jiadong, you also said just now that you want the local organizations in Afghanistan to become the extremely sharp scalpel that cuts the Soviet Union, then you should have a way to keep this scalpel sharp!"
After receiving Musharraf's affirmative answer, he can go on according to the established plan, Lu Jiadong's heart can be described as both excited and nervous, but more calm and confident, so after hearing Musharraf's question, Lu Jiadong's answer is much stronger than before:
"If you want to sharpen the scalpel, it's actually very simple, it is to find a stable and reliable donor country that can help you for a long time!"
"You China?" Musharraf almost blurted out.
Lu Jiadong shook his head: "Although we in China are willing to help your country, we are not rich ourselves, and it is obviously unrealistic to help each other for a long time!"
"That's Saudi?"
"Saudi Arabia has money, but its influence is very small, and it can't drive other countries!" Lu Jiadong shook his head again, and Musharraf was also a little puzzled at this time:
"That's"
"United States!" Without waiting for Musharraf to finish speaking, Lu Jiadong replied without hesitation, but what Lu Jiadong didn't expect was that after Musharraf heard the name "United States", his head shook like a rattle, and he directly denied:
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible for the United States, we have sent several requests to the United States, but each reply is some unnutritious diplomatic rhetoric, the government side can't get through, we also contacted the CIA, the CIA's reply is not like the official government's play on words, but the attitude is also quite ambiguous, and there is no clear answer, so it is impossible to count on the United States!"
"I think General Musharraf should know better than me that the United States is a very realistic country, and if you just tell them that Afghanistan is about to be unbearable, they will naturally not contribute to it, but if you tell them that the Afghan resistance group can drag the Soviet Union into the abyss like the Vietnam War, how do you think the Americans will react?"
"There will be" with the same meaning in different expressions can indeed produce different expression effects, and it is also the same for seeking assistance, but the basic dealings between countries are human spirits, and such word games cannot fool people who understand at all, so Musharraf did not answer immediately after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, but shook his head:
"I don't think the Americans will easily believe it!"
"Whether the Americans believe it or not, the ambition of the American conservatives to weaken the Soviet Union has never changed!" As soon as Musharraf's words fell, Lu Jiadong took over the conversation:
"General Musharraf just now you also said that the CIA's attitude is ambiguous, in fact, according to the CIA's style of acting, what can be achieved is what can be achieved, and if it can't be achieved, it will tell you bluntly that no, and now the attitude is ambiguous, it is very interesting, you must know that aid involves money, and the United States does not have the right to allocate funds in the hands of the CIA."
Before Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Musharraf's eyes involuntarily lit up (to be continued...... u
