Both of his goals had been achieved: the great merit of helping the besieged army break through the siege had been made, and the words of goodwill to Gorbachev had been made. There is no point in staying here any longer.

Such a situation was the case at the headquarters of the KGB of the USSR, and before that, it was a different picture at the White House in the United States.

In a simple small conference room, several high-ranking US officials were drinking coffee and chatting, as if they were drinking afternoon tea, and they all looked leisurely.

An official grabbed the newspaper next to the coffee cup and raised it, and said with a smile: "The Chinese are really humorous, knowing that the Soviet army is surrounded and about to be exterminated, and they also ask someone to publish a chapter to boast about the strength of the Soviet army." This praise is not pleasant, if I were Andropov, when I received the news that an entire division of tens of thousands of troops had been annihilated by the partisans, I wonder if I would be angry to death? Haha......"

We have to admire the strength of the US surveillance power, and although Guo Zhuocheng arranged for the IIC and other companies to quietly bribe some reporters and editors, compile and distribute chapters praising the strong force of the Soviet army, and also conducted a heated debate on his own writing and acting, and successfully deceived the Soviet Union and readers, the US intelligence department still found clues and knew that China was playing a role in it.

Because the company arranged by Guo Zhuocheng carried out this activity according to the rules generally practiced by Westerners, although the US government knew about this matter, it did not stop it, but instead watched the Chinese spend money and watch Chinese performances with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Another official in a suit said: "The Chinese are not just humorous, they have a purpose, and their purpose is to make the Soviet Union stick to Afghanistan for the sake of honor, so that they can have more energy and financial resources for their own economic construction." At the same time, it is also to make us ordinary people in Western countries afraid, so that they will urge us to spend more money against the Soviet Union, and of course we are also in favor of good relations with China. Together with China against the USSR. ”

An officer who had just come in asked, "In that case, then why don't we stop them?" At the very least, we can prevent them from publishing such articles in our United States, and prevent the various media from participating in the discussion, so that they will not be able to hype up? ”

The official who spoke just now smiled and asked, "Why should we object?" Aren't we hoping for that now? Isn't next year's budget even more substantial? They're paying us to advertise, and it's too late for us to thank them. ”

Several people laughed tacitly.

One person also said: "Another role they have in doing this is to publicize the merits of their Chinese and tell our people that this time the Soviet army is surrounded by us in the United States, and they are in China." ......, when will the Resistance under our command launch its final offensive? ”

No one has yet answered his words. I saw a man who looked like an officer walk in, walked up to the director of military intelligence in a few steps, and whispered something into his ear.

Before the officer could finish his words, the head of the military intelligence bureau jumped up and asked in surprise: "What?" Our military experts are all done. Just one trainee officer left? How did the Soviet special forces suddenly get there? ”

The officer who reported the situation twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and said: "Yes, now those guerrillas are in chaos, and there is no one to command. ”

Several officials understood what was happening at once, after all, the officials they all knew about it, the director of military intelligence did not deliberately hide it, and his few words made them think of the sudden change in the situation.

"Are the Soviet special forces really so powerful?" One official was shocked.

"The Soviet army just has something. It was a complete coincidence that they were besieged. Are we being a little careless these days? "An official began to reflect and review.

The head of the military intelligence bureau immediately put down and got up and went to the president's office.

The president was receiving foreign leaders at the time, and the staff of the president's office told him to wait for half an hour.

While waiting for the president to talk to foreign leaders, the vice president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, and others all arrived one after another, and apparently they also rushed to the meeting after receiving the news. Let's ask the president for advice and discuss how to deal with it.

Now the whole world knows that there is a division of 10,000 people in the Soviet Union surrounded by the resistance groups supported by the United States, and they are all surprised by the weakness of the Soviet army and the strength of the resistance organizations, and they are all thinking about the strength of the United States' support for the resistance groups. Some small countries that oscillated between the United States and the Soviet Union were even more nervous, and some were apparently pondering whether they should throw themselves into the increasingly powerful United States. Or to the aggressive Soviet Union, even those small countries that are already in the Soviet camp are also thinking about whether to change their courts.

The scale of this encirclement and annihilation battle may not be large, but it is of great significance, especially after media propaganda, coupled with the explicit or implicit exaggeration of China, the United States and other countries, it has become a barometer of the strength of the Soviet Union.

According to the statements and ideas of these people, if the more than 10,000 elite troops of the Soviet army surrounded this time are completely annihilated by the resistance group, it will indicate that the Soviet Union has come down from the peak of its strength, and the United States has since gone up. On the contrary, if the Soviet army cannot be annihilated in the case of siege, it means that the Soviet army is still strong and is still a nightmare for lovers of world peace.

Just as the US official just said, it is precisely because the US Government believes that the total annihilation of the Soviet army this time is a sure thing, and it is only a matter of time before the Soviet troops who entered the mountains to suppress the Soviet army are completely annihilated, that they allowed the Chinese to pay for the media to publicize it, and as a result, a quarrel broke out and became a household name and known to everyone.

If at this time it is suddenly reported that not only have the besieged Soviet troops broken through the encirclement, but also that the military experts sent by the United States to Afghanistan have been wiped out by the Soviet Union's special operations forces, world public opinion will certainly be in an uproar and will cause more panic. Those small countries that stood in the middle and wavered were likely to abandon the swing to the Soviet Union, and even small countries that had already chosen to side with the United States would fall to the Soviet Union.

This change in the international situation is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is the criticism of the domestic people, from the belief that the Soviet army will be annihilated by the resistance organizations supported by their own country to the military experts of their own country being shot and killed by the Soviet army, the anger that erupts from this contrast is not so light, and will greatly affect the next presidential election and greatly reduce the support of the people.

Does the opposition party take advantage of this opportunity to make things difficult? Will the government be asked to explain why the Soviet troops escaped, will it ask for an explanation of why the United States sent military experts to the war, is it to completely provoke the Soviet Union? The military will be asked to explain where the military is going, it will demand a reduction in military spending for the next year, and there will be a demand that someone take responsibility for this and resign.

These are the ones that kill you.

It was only at this time that the director of the military intelligence bureau went from being happy and happy to being depressed and disgusted by China's hype about the encirclement of the Soviet army: "If there is no Chinese hype, why would we be so embarrassed?" ”

The director of military intelligence, who is naturally a master of intelligence analysis, began to suspect China's motives for hyping up the matter, and began to think about China's purpose in doing so. They may have done this not only to make it difficult for the Soviet Union to ride the tiger and not to withdraw from Afghanistan, nor to recognize their aid to the resistance, nor to make the West more plausible to them, but also for other purposes.

"What exactly is their purpose? What role did they play in this operation? The director of military intelligence thought silently alone, he seemed to think of something, but he couldn't always catch the clue.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he could not have imagined that China would make a profit from the Soviet Union, that China would sell the United States and that the United States would help China count the money, and still less that China wanted to take this opportunity to establish good relations with the Soviet Union and deepen its personal relations with those big figures who had influence on the Soviet Union, so that when the Soviet Union disintegrated in the future, he could get more benefits, and he could take advantage of the defection of the republics from the Soviet Union to establish an independent state, and even take back the territories that had been forcibly occupied by the Tsarist Empire in the past.

Of course, he could not have imagined that the military experts they sent were killed by the special combat teams sent by China, and even the Soviet special combat teams were killed by China.

The president hastily ended the conversation with the foreign leader, and immediately after sending off the guests apologetically, he met with his subordinates in his office.

After listening to the report of the director of military intelligence, the president was also furious, but he did not scold, but sat on the sofa and drank a large cup of coffee fiercely, and finished it in one go.

After wiping his mouth with a tissue, he calmly asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

The vice president said loudly: "We want to protest, demand that the Soviet Union apologize for the damages, they so openly sent troops to kill our military personnel in the rear, contrary to the long-established practice of our two countries, this is a challenge to our United States, this is a naked declaration of war, we must fight back!" We are going to send troops to Afghanistan to fight directly with the Soviet army. ”

The president glanced at his partner with a tired look, and felt contempt for him in his heart. He knew that this guy didn't say this because he was stupid, and even more so that he was a war maniac, but that he was mischievous, and he was gloating. Because the last time he was discussing whether to send military experts to Afghanistan when he learned that the Soviet troops who had entered the mountains might be cut off, he strongly opposed the direct involvement of the United States in the war, and he suggested that the United States come forward and ask China to send military experts to command those resistance groups, because he believed that China was much stronger than the United States in terms of land forces, and the Soviet army was also stronger than the American army.

If there are no super-complete weapons, under the same conditions, the US Army is not qualified to play with the Chinese Army, and even the Vietnamese Army is inferior, as evidenced by the Vietnam War and the Korean War. If the United States sent military experts, in addition to giving the Soviet Union an excuse, in addition to accusing the United States of direct entry into the war, it would be to add confusion to the resistance groups.

However, his opinion was rejected by the president. They are not saying that the US Army is powerful, nor that their military experts are better than Chinese military experts, but they do not want China to use this to peek into US secrets in Afghanistan.
