The majority of the media held the same or similar views, and they all believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Soviet army, which had always been perceived as strong, to be so useless, so cowardly, and that they did not believe that the Soviet army would be defeated by the partisans.

The reason why this situation is happening now is that the Soviet army is deliberately showing weakness, there must be means of follow-up counterattacks, and it must be playing tricks. Whoever believes that the Soviet army has become mud is a fool.

Even readers and listeners agree that the Soviet government was cunning, and that their army was definitely not a soft dough, and it was definitely not the kind of army that others could pinch as they wanted. You must pay attention to the 120,000 Soviet troops, and you must pay the greatest attention, otherwise you may be eaten by them at some point, and there will be no bones left.

Some media also illustrate the strength of the Soviet army from another aspect: they revealed that the reason why the resistance group was successful was because American and Chinese military experts went into battle shirtless and vigorously helped these rabble, providing weapons and equipment and intelligence on a large scale. This can be seen from the weapons and equipment captured by the Soviet army, and now the weapons and equipment of the resistance groups are better than the Soviet army, and the partisans are more generous than the Soviet army. In terms of materials and other aspects, it has been proved that the Soviet army is not not not strong, but that the resistance organization is too alien, and it is the Soviet army that fights too many opponents.

Although the media is noisy and noisy, and many major Western media are taking the opportunity to insult the Soviet government for being shameless and scolding the Soviet army for invading tiny Afghanistan, the vast majority of people still have to admit that the Soviet army is strong, saying that even if the strength of the Soviet army does not rank first, it can be almost the same as the US army.

The controversy in the Western media made many Eastern European countries that followed the Soviet Union happy, as if the strength of the Soviet army was their strength. When the Western media debated the strength of the Soviet army, they also hyped up the invincibility of the Soviet army in their own media and demanded that the people believe in the strength of the Soviet army. It is necessary to believe that the current defeat of the Soviet army in Afghanistan is negligible, but it has only allowed those bandits to exploit loopholes, but it is only to let those guys supported by the United States succeed in the sneak attack. But sooner or later, the Soviets will take revenge, will double the blood on those bandits, and will disappoint the American masters.

Some Eastern European countries even sent telegrams to express their loyalty to the Soviet Union, congratulate the great Soviet Red Army on its great achievements in Afghanistan that made it difficult for the United States to sleep, and congratulate the Soviet army on taking advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all those bandits.

In the face of world public opinion, especially in the face of the telegram sent by his younger brother. The Soviet Union was really embarrassed, and couldn't help but scold these little brothers and ancestors for eighteen generations: "You stupid people, don't you know that the West is roasting us on the fire?" It is because they know that the Soviet army in the encirclement is about to be annihilated, so they deliberately say that the Soviet army is extremely powerful, which is ironic. They did not say that the Soviet army was strong for a long time. Don't say that the Soviet army is strong, but at this time, don't you understand? You are making such a fuss now, and when the end of the war in Afghanistan comes out, you are slapping us in the face and not letting our honor be discredited? You'll be just as embarrassed then! ”

Although it knew it was a trap, the Soviet government faced almost the world's touting. In particular, the praise of their younger brothers, the countries of Eastern Europe, had to be reserved in their approval. The congratulations to the fraternal countries were expressed in thanks, and the younger brothers thanked the younger brothers for their admiration for the Soviet Red Army, saying that they would further strengthen the modernization of the Red Army. Increasing the strength of the Red Army and increasing the military strength of other countries of the Warsaw Pact, led by the Soviet Union, made Western countries tremble in front of the Warsaw Pact.

In order to stabilize the Eastern European brother of the Warsaw Pact, and also to appease the feelings of the people at home. In order to improve the morale of the Soviet troops in Afghanistan, the Soviet propaganda department increased its propaganda efforts. We should constantly publicize the great achievements of the Soviet army, constantly report on the heroic deeds of Soviet officers and men in Afghanistan, and publicize the great situation of the Soviet army in Afghanistan.

At the same time, in order to protect their reputation and face, in order to teach the Afghan resistance organization a bloody lesson, and even more so to prevent the situation in Afghanistan from having a domino effect and creating an uncontrollable situation, the Soviet government, in the face of the country's porous economy, and in the face of the country's anxious shape, they still gritted their teeth and decided to increase troops to Afghanistan, to the mountainous areas of southern Afghanistan, to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan, and to give the Afghan resistance organizations and the American and Chinese masters behind them a good look. It is also necessary to preserve or save the honor or face of the great Soviet army.

In order to speed up the entry of troops into Afghanistan, the CPSU-Central Committee also urgently mobilized troops from within the country and directly mobilized 50,000 troops from the Sino-Soviet border to advance toward Afghanistan. Of course, the accompanying actions of the increase in troops are a massive increase in logistical supplies, a substantial increase in military spending, and a substantial increase in aid to the Afghan natives......

Afghanistan is like a gluttonous beast, constantly sucking blood and milk from the Soviet Union, making the Soviet Union slim down step by step.

This is exactly what Guo Zhuocheng hopes for and strives for.

Knowing that it would be difficult to increase troops and military spending, the Soviet Union, which has always had a good face and good honor, did so.

Even Andropov, the supreme leader of the CPSU, who had been lying in a hospital bed for a long time, disgusted with the war in Afghanistan and wanted to end it as soon as possible, also struggled to sign his name on the troop increase report after listening to the report by Gorbachev, the second leader of the CPSU-Political Bureau, on the situation in Afghanistan and the international situation.

It was only at the end of the conversation that the dying old man said to Gorbachev a little weakly: "Afghanistan is a quagmire, if you get it right, maybe we can raise some fish in it." If we don't get it right, we'll be trapped in it, and all we will get in the end is a bunch of hatred. After stabilizing the situation there, I ask you to tell your comrades that you should consider withdrawing your troops as much as possible. Just keep a few soldiers to keep the law. Now the economy of our USSR can no longer support this war. ”

Nor was Gorbachev an avid warmonger and had a different view of the war in Afghanistan, preferring to focus on improving the domestic economy and reforming the political system. This is why he was reused by Andropov, but he remained as indifferent to the preservation of Soviet honor as everyone else.

After listening to Andropov's words, he hurriedly said: "Comrade Andropov, I and other comrades are aware of this situation, and some comrades have begun to reflect on the gains and losses of the war in Afghanistan, and this time they have to do this in order to stabilize our fraternal countries in Eastern Europe and not to make Western countries laugh.

Comrade Andropov, what I would like to ask is, what do you think of China's overtures to us this time? Can it be seen as the beginning of the breakup between China and the United States, or is it the beginning of China's signs of becoming a leader? Are they genuine or fake now? To be honest, I still don't know much about China, and I can't figure out their minds. ”

Andropov glanced at Gorbachev, leisurely looked out the window, and then slowly got up, leaned back against the head of the bed, moved the infusion tube and probe wire on his body a little, and then looked at this subordinate and said: "China is the China of the Chinese, just as the Soviet Union is the Soviet Union of the Soviets, that is to say, their starting point and ultimate purpose are to serve their China." This time they showed us goodwill, there is no good or bad intention, and we don't have to care about this, we are concerned about whether we can get more benefits or harms from it, and strive to get more benefits and reduce some harms.

They can reach out to us, and it doesn't matter if it's good or bad for us, but it's a good thing in itself. China will eventually become a great power, if everyone still had doubts and was full of contempt for China before, but now it should be sober. Since they will eventually become a great power, then we must treat them according to the rules of a great power.

For us, the Soviet Union, the most important thing is to always have the ability to influence the world situation, not to destroy how many countries, only to hold this ability, and the number of countries in the world has nothing to do with us. Now the world is divided into two camps, one side is headed by the Soviet Union, and the other side is headed by the United States, we are fighting hard against each other, and there is no winner or loser yet, but the United States has the initiative, because they have found China that is rising and will eventually become a force before us, and what makes us even more painful is that this China is divided from us.

We don't know if the United States is tired now, but we know that we are tired, and it is really a bit inadequate to carry the Western countries led by the United States, and we must admit this reality and retreat a little, give up some positions to China, and allow them to rise, preferably as a third party, so that they have enough strength to fight against the United States. In this way, we can greatly reduce the resistance of our Soviet Union, and we can even watch them fight each other to the death. In Chinese parlance, it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and we sit on the profit of the fisherman.

Since China's rise is unstoppable, then let's not be a thankless sinner. If China rises in the future and makes claims to the Soviet Union, as long as we can maintain the bottom line of Lenin's declaration on China, we can use our possession of their territory as a bargaining chip in exchange for sufficient benefits, I think it is okay.

Don't talk about this, these are things in the future, and I am sure that you and your comrades will handle them. Moreover, what kind of Soviet-Chinese relations should be maintained in the future is also a matter for you to consider, and what I said just now is just an idea of mine, or a suggestion to your young leadership collective, and you can listen to it naturally or not. What I want to say is that now that China has taken the initiative to exchange with us, this is a good start, and we should use this opportunity to build a good relationship with them, at least to create some bigger rifts between them and the United States. ……”
