Chapter 1295: A Strange Phenomenon

In fact, it is not a problem for the government army to cobble together two motorized infantry divisions with full staff, as the poorest country, young people in Afghanistan are still happy to be soldiers, after all, they can get a salary that is enough for their families not to starve to death.

This time, however, the US Command in Afghanistan adopted a new method of appropriation, and the salaries and subsidies for the two motorized rifle divisions of the Provisional Government Army participating in the war during the period of participating in the encirclement and suppression of the Golden Crescent area were not given to the accounts of the Provisional Government, but were directly distributed to the officers and men.

The money is in your own hands, and it is very easy to deduct it, and it will be intercepted directly when the money is issued. But now that the money is in the hands of officers and soldiers, who would dare to risk angering two motorized rifle divisions to come back? Afghanistan is a country with strong people, and if you want to continue to mess around, don't make things too obvious and too desperate.

As a result, the bigwigs of the Northern Alliance hate the US military command in Afghanistan to the core, and even the US Government and the Department of Defense hate it to the core, and they will lose more than $70 million in extra money a month, and cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.

In addition, the US military command in Afghanistan pays its own salaries to the troops participating in the war, and does not go through the government and military management agencies, which clearly shows that it does not trust the government army command, saying that the generals of the military are corrupt, and the image of the government and the military suddenly collapses, and it is strange that the backbone is not poked in the backbone by the officers and soldiers and the common people!

"The face was won by yourself, not by others, you guys are too outrageous to do things this time, you know that you have to go to the front line to fight with the Taliban army, but you don't even have enough personnel and equipment, it's one thing to be defeated on the battlefield, it's another thing to cheat and lead to a collapse without a fight, drop the chain at a critical time, what do I say about you?"

"Just because of the problems that your headquarters made this time, the deputy chief of staff of the army sued the US government, and the US government decided to postpone the allocation of funds to the government, and several projects that have been tendered cannot be launched for the time being, this is a road traffic network of more than one billion dollars, do you know how big the government's loss is?" Mr. President said angrily.

With the strength of the US army, the Taliban guerrillas will absolutely not be able to withstand it, and this clean-up war will take at most a month, or even two weeks, but the government's aid is long-term and is also the main source of revenue for the current finance.

"The whole world knows the fact that our Afghanistan is actually an incomplete country, and the local forces supported by mercenaries have huge resources and influence in various parts of Afghanistan, and control the cities necessary for the development of the country, although these cities are basically built by mercenaries, but the other side also controls the economic lifeline of the country!"

"The U.S. government's development funds in Afghanistan are very large, but not all of them are used by the central government, and one-third of the funds are directly allocated by the U.S. military command in Afghanistan to the major cities of the mercenary corps, which are the benchmarks for the U.S. government to publicize the results of the war."

"The central government is responsible for all the games of chess in the country, and the sad thing is that all the projects we apply for must also have the budgets of these cities, and what they have in other places, they also have to have, but the tax revenue of urban industry and commerce is withheld by the local government, and we only pay but have no return."

"However, the military's behavior this time has given the US government the best excuse, and the people at the US military headquarters in Afghanistan just now revealed that all future engineering projects must be examined and approved by the command, and the whole process must be supervised from bidding and construction to acceptance, and finally the funds can be disbursed. said the vice president.

Afghanistan is now a very strange country, first of all, the major cities are controlled by mercenaries, forming enough local forces to influence the central government, such as Kabul, the capital of the city, the old city is the territory of the interim government, the most prosperous commercial centers and industrial areas, including most of the residents are in the new city.

According to the agreement secretly reached between the mercenaries and the U.S. government, the cities controlled by the mercenaries only pay taxes to the local municipal government tax department, and the provisional government does not receive a dime in taxes, and has to use money to "support" the development of the local economy and people's livelihood.

In addition, if the mercenaries are displeased, the territory of the provisional government will suddenly be cut off from water, electricity, and gas, and cars will not be able to drive normally, and the mercenary army's waterworks, power plants, gas supply stations, and oil refineries are the core lifeblood of supporting the operation of the country.

At present, all the mining rights of mineral resources in Afghanistan are firmly controlled by the subordinate enterprises of the mercenary corps, and no force can get involved, even if they have the support of the United States and form an interim government, the bigwigs of the Northern Alliance do not dare to step on the line half a step.

This is like the unspoken rule of the transition period in Afghanistan, whoever dares to touch the interests of the mercenary corps, the mercenaries will not hesitate to use force means to resolutely defend their interests from loss.

This situation is extremely abnormal, and the interim government has talked about this phenomenon many times, but the US government needs the close cooperation of the mercenaries to end the war in Afghanistan, and is unwilling to intervene in the pressure, which annoys the mercenaries, everything in Afghanistan of the US government will be mortally threatened, and the Northern Alliance belongs to the type of pig teammates and cannot afford such a responsibility.

"Boss, the U.S. military has begun to carry out surprise attacks on the Golden Crescent region, first blocking the connection between the Golden Crescent region and Afghanistan, and then using strategic bombers and fighter jets to bomb the targets detected in advance, and then the airborne troops and special forces carry out large-scale airplane landings, the attack is fierce, fast, layered, and orderly, this kind of scene, momentum and military quality, it is worthy of being the world's largest army." Thompson called.

According to CIA intelligence, the US military first used 24 strategic bombers to carry out large-scale bombing of targets in the Golden Crescent area, and then the 75th Ranger Regiment, the Navy SEALs, and the 173rd Airborne Infantry Brigade, with the assistance of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, entered the Golden Crescent area and plunged into the heart like sharp knives.

The two brigade-level combat teams of the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Air Assault Division of the US Army all used helicopter gunships to land in the Golden Crescent area, and in addition to supporting the special forces, they also blocked the guerrilla camps and occupied the main communication routes.

It was followed by the 10th Mountain Division, which was the main force in the battle, and with the clearing of local guerrilla strongholds and important military targets, the 1st and 25th Infantry Divisions of the United States adopted a step-by-step approach to prevent the guerrillas from breaking out of the encirclement, consolidating their achievements, and ensuring the smooth flow of logistics and transportation lines.
