"I think he still wants to have more possibilities for Abdul Rahman Khan to surrender, otherwise, with his personality, he will not be so calm, and he will definitely send someone to negotiate with Abdul Rahman Khan in these three days." Yamrali was very satisfied with Zhang Haobo's attitude towards him, and hurriedly replied.

Zhang Haobo nodded, "So, the person he sent to negotiate, could it be you?" ”

"It's probably me, he doesn't have a wiser minister in his hands than me." Yamrali is not modest.

"Okay, if there's any movement, please let me know as soon as possible." Zhang Haobo patted Yamrali on the shoulder.

"Okay, please rest assured, Mr. Special Envoy, I will do my best to make the matter of Hua Guo's control of Afghanistan successful, but Mr. Special Envoy, please tell your country that it is best to show the strength of Hua in these two days, in that case, even if Muhammad Yakub Khan is still swaying, the tribal leaders under him will force him to move closer to Hua Guo." Yamlali offered advice to Zhang Haobo.

Zhang Haobo secretly thought, the best way to show strength is force, the key is now Vladimir Granat means not to use force! So how do you show it?

However, Zhang Haobo still had a very flat expression, and did not let Yamlali see his current thoughts, "Okay, I will convey your suggestion." ”

Yamrali rejoiced, "Thank you, envoy, please." ”

Zhang Haobo left, immediately returned to the embassy, and reported back to Herat the meeting he had just met with Muhammad Yakub Khan.

Vladimir Granat received the telegram sent back by Zhang Haobo as soon as possible, and hurriedly forwarded it to Ekaterina Klimova to know.

Ekaterina Klimova did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the passage to the presidential secretariat in Berlin.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't night, and President Moe was playing football with the guards. Princess Katrina Kaaf came over with a message.

"Is it news from Afghanistan?" When Emperor Hua saw that Princess Katrina Kafu personally sent a telegram, he knew that it was an urgent matter, kicked the ball aside, and greeted him.

"Yes, Muhammad Yakub Khan took the initiative to summon Zhang Haobo, a senior agent we sent in the past, intelligence analysis, Muhammad Yakub Khan still has the intention of surrendering to Abdurrahman Khan, claiming to give us an answer in three days, a minister beside Muhammad Yakub Khan who is interested in Huaguo suggested that in these two days, it is best to show the strength of Huaguo, in this way, a bunch of tribal leaders under Muhammad Yakub Khan will also be more inclined to take refuge in Huaguo, when the time comes, Mohammed Yakub Khan wanted to surrender to Abdul Rahman Khan and the British, and it was impossible. Princess Katrina Kafu said.

President Meng listened to Princess Katrina Kaf's words, and then briefly looked at the message, which was the same as what Princess Katrina Kafu said, so he returned the message to Princess Katrina Kaf, "Show your strength?" In such a tight time, how can it be shown except for force? Does the strength of the Chinese army still need to be demonstrated? Isn't this a suggestion? ”

Princess Katrina Kafu nodded, "Otherwise, let the company that has passed show the combat effectiveness of our Chinese army?" With such a small number of people, even if there is a fight, we can say that it is because of the protection of the embassy, and the British have no way to prove that we are directly involved in the war. ”

Princess Katrina Kaaf knew that the Emperor did not want to turn his face directly against Britain before the war preparations were completed, so as not to startle the British and enter the preparations for a full-scale war in advance.

"Yes." Hua Huang nodded, "Just send a telegram to Ekaterina Klimova according to your wishes." ”

After Hua Huang finished speaking, he ran back to play football.

Princess Katrina Kafu looked at the back of Emperor Hua and said secretly: It's all what I mean? Burst. After thinking about it, Princess Katrina Kafu smiled, it seemed that no matter how big a matter was, it was a trivial matter here in Huahuang, and Princess Katrina Kafu really didn't know why His Majesty's heart could be so big.

Princess Katrina Kaf soon forwarded Her Majesty's latest instructions to Ekatirina Klimova, who in turn informed Vladimir Granat, who in turn conveyed them to Zhang Haobo.

Zhang Haobo fell into deep thought, what should he do if he could only use this sharp knife company in his hand to show his strength? First of all, the weapons and ammunition they brought were not sufficient, even if they wanted to fight a war, how big could they fight?

Each person only has 300 rounds of ammunition, which is only 6,000 rounds together, and even if you add the small amount of weapons and ammunition originally provided by the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, it is only less than 10,000 rounds.

Zhang Haobo decided to wait and see what happened.

However, despite waiting, Zhang Haobo still put all the armed personnel in the embassy into a state of readiness.

In addition to the 200 people brought by Zhang Haobo and Gao Yitong, there are also 80 original sergeants from the embassy, these sergeants are only at the level of the garrison headquarters, and they naturally cannot be compared with the field army, and they cannot be compared with the more than 200 officers of the Chinese army field army brought by Zhang Haobo.

Zhang Haobo told the ambassador to prepare for evacuation, everyone had packed all the supplies, and all the extra documents had been destroyed. Just wait for a concrete plan of action from Vladimir Granat's side.

"If the stationmaster of Vladimir Granat agrees to let us do it, I think Kandahar will definitely not be able to stay, and at a critical time, there should be a chance to cross the Helmand River with the important leaders of Afghanistan and regroup." Zhang Haobo analyzed.

Gao Yitong nodded, "I just don't know if Your Majesty will let the army come over, if it is determined that the Chinese army will come to reinforce, it is best to stand in Kandahar, otherwise, it will be troublesome to come back after crossing the Helmand River." ”

"Prepare for both." Zhang Haobo said decisively.

Zhang Haobo could afford to wait, but Muhammad Yakub Khan was so anxious that he sent someone to contact Abdul Rahman Khan.

Abdul Rahman Khan can't be the master himself, he can only find the front-line commander of the British army, and the front-line commander of the British army can't be the master, such a big thing, at least a figure of the level of Robert Boul Walliton, the governor of India, can only call the shots, so he can only send someone back to contact him quickly.

The British now have telegraph technology, but they do not have radio technology, so naturally they are not as fast as the Chinese army, and the level is to let Robert Bull Warlitton know the news, and he will also hold a meeting to study it, or convey it to the British country, let alone three days, a month may not be enough.

Therefore, it was useless for Muhammad Yakub Khan to rush to the hospital when he was ill at this time.

Now the two parties in front of Muhammad Yakub Khan, the conditions are almost identical, both become colonies, the difference is to become a colony of China, Muhammad Yakub Khan feels that it will not be long before he will be completely assimilated by China, and there is no such risk of becoming a British colony, at least India has not been assimilated for hundreds of years.

However, if he defects to the British, he will inevitably be placed under Abdul Rahman Khan, and if he defects to Huaguo, he is likely to be the head of the native of Afghanistan, even if the khanate cannot be kept, the highest position of this local should be able to be kept, Zhang Haobo also clearly said that he can.

Therefore, Muhammad Yakub Khan is particularly entangled at the moment.

"Your Majesty, there is not much time left." Only two days later, Yamrali came to urge, "Now the British are attacking more violently, advancing thirty meters a day, and at this rate, it will not take five days to attack Kandahar." ”

It turned out that the British front-line commander-in-chief not only did not slow down the speed of the offensive after knowing that Muhammad Yakub Khan had the intention to be attached, but instead spread the news to the entire British army, and the Indian coercive army, and anyone could fight the tailwind well, everyone knew the news, and the crowd was excited, so the fight was even more fierce, and the commander-in-chief of the British front line also had selfish intentions, if Muhammad Yakub Khan surrendered automatically, his credit would be reduced by at least half, and now if it was in the case of his invasion of Kandahar, Muhammad Yakub Khan was forced to surrender, Then, the credit is all his, whether he can win Kandahar or not, this is two views both internationally and in the UK, and there is a big difference.

So the British attacked more and more fiercely.

Mohammed Yakub Khan listened to the rumbling cannons outside, and said fiercely: "Didn't I send someone to negotiate with the British? Why are they still struggling with each other at this time? ”

The man whom Muhammad Yakub Khan sent to negotiate was his son-in-law and did not send Yamrali, which is also where Yamrali was unhappy. Muhammad Yakub Khan had already seen that Yamrali was biased towards China, so he did not send Yamrali to talk to the British.

"Your Majesty, wake up, it's all at this time, don't you understand? It's Abdul Rahman Khan! Even if you want to take refuge in the British, can Abdul Rahman Khan let you go? Take the initiative to take refuge in China, you are a great achievement, but it is too late to passively take refuge in the British, and not only Abdul Rahman Khan will exclude you and put you to death! What will these leaders of your command think of you when they have been fighting the British for more than a year and have died so many people? When the time comes, you will not be human inside and out! Yamrali admonished sharply, also in a hurry.

Muhammad Yakub Khan couldn't help but get angry and said, "Don't I know what you're talking about? Am I entirely for myself? I'm here for a few years later, and there will still be Orthodox Afghans in existence! Do you know how powerful the culture of the Han people is? They are different from the British, they took refuge in the British, at least Afghanistan is still Afghanistan, I can not die myself, I am not greedy for more! ”

Yamrali looked at Muhammad Yakub Khan in surprise, this time, Yamrali was in awe of Muhammad Yakub Khan, and did not expect Muhammad Yakub Khan to say what he had just said.

"Since Your Majesty said so, then I have nothing to say, in my opinion, even if Huaguo assimilates us, there is nothing, judging from the Uzbeks, Turkmenistans, Tajiks, Kyrgyzstans, and Tajiks in Central Asia, Huaguo did not burn books, and did not force them to give up their original eating and clothing habits." Yamrali continued.

"However, the Chinese people have brought them education, and if they are required to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, in a few years, these people will completely become exactly the same as Han Chinese!" Muhammad Yakub Khan waved his hand, "You go down first, let me think again." ”

"But, tomorrow is the three-day deadline." Yamrali reminded.

"Then wait for another three days, won't they be able to do it with the national strength of China? If they really have the strength, why not just send troops to Afghanistan? They can't come, just out of their mouths, and let us do this and that, is there such a good thing in the world? Muhammad Yakub Khan said angrily: "Needless to say, if the envoy asks you tomorrow, you will say that I said it, and give me three more days to think about it." ”

Yamlari sighed, "If that's the case, I'm afraid that even if Your Majesty takes refuge in Huaguo in the future, Huaguo will remember the matter of His Majesty's refusal when he took refuge." ”

As he spoke, Yamlari went down.

Muhammad Yakub Khan looked at the back of Yamrali leaving in distress, angrily smashed the tableware beside him, but he was not satisfied, stood up, took a table beside him, raised it high, smashed it to the ground vigorously, kicked it with his feet, stepped on it with his feet, "Ahh ”7110
